Inferior by Nature

A sharp stabbing pain suddenly rose in the depths of the brain, followed by many fragmentary and strange pictures.

Ran Qingzhuang fell unconscious in a pool of blood...

Lin Sheng hooked my shoulder and said with a smile on his lips: "I can help you, but we have an appointment, and you cannot appear in this matter."...

At dawn, Zhaofeng squatted on the curb, holding an English book in his hand, looking up at me...

The memories of the past are chaotic and hazy, and there is always an impenetrable layer of veil between me and the present me, as if I am close in front of my eyes, and when I reach out and touch it, it all returns to nothingness.

"I..." I lost my strength, and the paper cup was crushed by me, and the water inside overflowed and splashed on my pants.

I quickly moved the water glass aside, and Ran Qingzhuang got up immediately and grabbed the tissue on the coffee table to wipe it for me.

"Are you so excited?" He took out several tissues and pressed them on my wet pants. The water soaked quickly and spread to the heels of my thighs in a short while.

Although the two of us have met each other honestly, it is somewhat strange that he touches this position.

I pressed his hand, took the tissue, stood up from the sofa in embarrassment and said, "I'll go... I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."

Fortunately, I didn't wear light-colored pants today, otherwise the crotch would be too wet.

After wiping in the bathroom for a long time, the water was almost absorbed, and the mobile phone received a text message from Ran Qingzhuang, saying that he was waiting for me outside the gate.

The vegetation in the forest is dense, the air is fresh, the tall fir trees soar into the sky, and the loud and clear chirping of birds is all around your ears.Walking out of the shooting range, I took two deep breaths and stretched out my hands to stretch the stiff muscles in my shoulders and neck.

Ran Qingzhuang was standing next to a trash can not far away, just at the entrance of the parking lot, with a cigarette in his mouth as always, seeing me coming out, staring at me and striding towards the parking space.

I followed and walked there, and the two finally met next to his car.He bit his cigarette, opened the rear cover, and lifted the trunk cushion up to reveal the hidden space below.

I took a deep breath, and the place where the spare tire was originally placed inside has been transformed into a small arsenal, complete with guns, daggers, and sticks.

"A military bayonet has blood grooves on both sides, which can easily cut through the flesh, and the handle can smash a human skull." Ran Qingzhuang took out a black dagger from inside, flipped it back and forth, and introduced it to me.

His tone didn't sound like he was talking about a murderous weapon, and it even reminded me of the appearance of Nan Xian when he first introduced his precious cello to me.

"Spruce top, maple headstock, ebony accessories, master-level handmade, rich sound, a must for the chief!"

The only difference is probably that Nanxian's pitch is a little higher, which seems very cheerful, while Ran Qingzhuang is much calmer.

"Wear it on your calf, don't take it off except for taking a shower." He pulled out another olive green fastening belt, stuffed the dagger into it, then squatted down and lifted up my trouser leg, as if to put it on for me.

I quickly lifted the fabric near my thighs to facilitate his movements.He stuck the fastening belt a little below my knee bend, and turned the dagger to the side of my leg. Since the dagger and the fastening belt are very thin, nothing can be seen when the trouser legs are down.

"When are you going to do it?" I moved my legs and tried to take two steps on the spot, but I didn't feel anything.

Ran Qingzhuang took out a silver pistol from the trunk and handed it to me, saying: "Soon. This is the gun you used in it just now. The magazine is full. There are 15 rounds in total. I also carry it with me."

I touched the cold body of the gun, nodded, stuffed it to my lower back, and covered it with my coat.

"What should I do if I have to go through the security check every day in class?" Not to mention knives and guns, even the metal wires used in the cello have to be checked and confirmed again and again.

He frowned when he heard the words, as if he just remembered this.

"Then except for taking a bath and going to class, you should take these two things with you at all times." He closed the trunk lid heavily and said.

After getting in the car, Ran Qingzhuang didn't drive the car back to the red building, but circled along the mountain road until he reached a cliff.

The waves under your feet beat the steep cliffs, and in the distance is the setting sun that is gradually sinking into the sea level.

The place where Ran Qingzhuang docked didn't even have a guardrail, and the salty wind was blowing from all directions, making people's hair dance wildly and the corners of their clothes flying.Standing on the edge of the cliff, there will be a sense of horror that will be blown down by the wind at any time.

Today's weather is fine, the sky is unobstructed, the setting sun dyes half of the sky a warm orange, and the sea reflects fine golden awns.I don't know why Ran Qingzhuang suddenly brought me here, but this is indeed a rare beauty.

"I like to come here occasionally to blow the wind. A little to the right is the direction of Chonghai." I turned my head, Ran Qingzhuang leaned against the car door, held the flame on the lighter with his hand, and lit a cigarette in the wind.

With a "snap", the lid of the lighter was closed with a crisp metal sound.

I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and lost my voice: "This lighter..."

Ran Qingzhuang glanced at the bronze lighter in his hand, opened and closed the lid skillfully, and asked, "What's wrong with the lighter?"

Also ask me what's wrong?He simply knew what to ask.Isn't this the Rolls-Royce lighter I bought earlier?He also said that he didn't know who took it away, how could it be in his hands now?

"You always knew I bought it." I said affirmatively.

A smile flashed in his eyes, and he stuffed the lighter into his trouser pocket: "Which little brother would buy such an expensive lighter and leave it in my car?"

I pursed my lips, speechless.

He did it on purpose before, so bad...

I turned around angrily and ignored him.The setting sun is extremely short, and it completely disappears on the sea surface in just a few minutes, and the dreamy glow is replaced by a deep blue.Chonghai in the distance is lit up with hundreds of lights, looking at it from a distance, it echoes with the galaxy in the sky, just like the little stars reflected in the world.

Watching and watching, the state of mind strangely calmed down.

"Behind every light that is on, there is a small family. I always envy such a small family. The parents are present, and the children are lovely." Ran Qingzhuang's voice fell into my ears with the wind, " How can you sit and watch them being drowned by the black sea?"

He's speaking in the second person, but obviously he's not asking me. Who is "you" and who is the "black sea"? It is self-evident after a little thought.

This is the driving force he has persisted to this day. He has no nostalgia, but he has an indestructible belief.It forces him to go all the way and earn his place on this man-eating island.

At this time, a dazzling light beam with penetrating power came from behind and shone on the sea in front of me. I was startled, and when I looked back, I found that the lighthouse at the highest point had turned on the patrolling searchlight.

Night is coming and there is a curfew on the island.

"Let's go, it will be very troublesome to be photographed." Ran Qingzhuang opened the door of the cab and beckoned me to get in the car.

Back to the red building, I ate something briefly. Today is quite fulfilling. I am a little tired, so I am ready to go to bed early.Just as I was about to wash up, Ran Qingzhuang came in, with his index finger in front of his lips, motioning for me to keep silent.

I pulled out the pistol on my back and put it on the washing machine, and walked very consciously to turn on the shower head.

Ran Qingzhuang flipped down the toilet lid, stepped on it with bare feet, held up the aluminum gusset plate on the ceiling with both hands, and with a light force, a plate was removed.

He reached into the interlayer and fumbled out a package of tightly sealed electronic equipment.

Giving me a small black earphone, he walked to the window, found a location with the best signal, and turned on the communicator in his hand that looked like an old button phone.

After pressing a string of numbers that I don't know whether it is a password or a number, after the piercing electric sound, Ran Qingzhuang began to speak.

"Mother's nest, this is a heron, please answer."

After waiting for a while, after another burst of electric current, a soft female voice appeared on the earphone: "Heron, this is the brood, please explain why you contacted me outside the agreed contact time."

Leaning against the window, Ran Qingzhuang casually scratched his temples with his thumbs and said, "Jin Chenyu has already begun to suspect me, I can't wait any longer, it will be a long night and dreamy, I will do it the day after tomorrow."

After a few seconds of silence, the female voice spoke again: "Understood, I will try my best to cooperate with you. Have you figured out the secret? The security system of the Jin family is the best in the world, and I can only hack it for 5 minutes with all my strength. You need to be here Open the safe within 5 minutes, find the mobile hard disk that records the criminal records of the United Group, and transfer the information inside to me."

"I have obtained the secret road map. How soon can reinforcements be sent?"

"Once the ledger information is cracked, reinforcements will be sent immediately." The female voice paused slightly, and said, "But if you have the opportunity to leave the island before then, please focus on your own safety and don't need to continue the undercover mission. The above is what the general asked me to convey .”

Ran Qingzhuang smiled slightly: "Tell him, I will."

"Aside from this matter, is there anything else? The shorter our call time, the better, so as not to be intercepted by the Jin family."

"One more thing..." Ran Qingzhuang pondered, and caught the other party by surprise, "I decided to add someone in."

The pause on the other side was longer this time. If it wasn't for Ran Qingzhuang's calm expression and the green light on the communicator being on all the time, I would have thought that the other party had dropped the line.

"Heron, I don't quite understand, please say it again."

She wanted to say it again, and Ran Qingzhuang said it again, frankly and confidently: "Tomorrow's operation, I will add another person. There are surveillance everywhere here, and I need someone to cover me."

"Heron, this is a top-secret operation. You have no right to disclose the details of your mission to anyone!" For the first time, the female voice showed obvious emotional ups and downs, and her tone was cold.

Ran Qingzhuang glanced at me, and said calmly: "I didn't reveal it, he guessed it all himself."

"What?" There was continuous typing on the keyboard, "I need his name, right now, right now!"

"Ji Ning..." Without waiting for Ran Qingzhuang to answer, I said my name weakly, "Hello, my name is Ji Ning, I am 25 years old, and I am Ran... Henglu's high school classmate. What else do you want to know? I Do you want your parents' names?"

"Brood" seemed to be completely speechless, and there was no movement for a long time.

Ran Qingzhuang said: "I know I shouldn't involve civilians, I am willing to accept any punishment. Of course, the premise is that I can leave here alive."

After leaving here alive, he still has to accept punishment?

I couldn't understand it, and defended him: "I, I can testify, I guessed it myself, and it has nothing to do with him. You can't punish him casually." I became more and more anxious, "Which department are you from? I reserve the right to complain. right……"

Ran Qingzhuang left the communicator by the window, came over and covered my lips with his hand, preventing me from continuing.

Smelling the smell of tobacco in his palm, I calmed down instantly, and remembered that the other party was him at the summit anyway, and he was also considered a half-leader, so I was a little nervous, afraid that I had said something wrong just now.

"It's okay." Ran Qingzhuang gradually loosened his grip, silently mouthed two words to me, then continued the previous topic, and talked to "Brood", "I asked you to check his, and you said there is no problem."

"I'm sorry." I replied silently with guilt.

He rubbed my head and said nothing.

It took a long time for a long sigh to come from the other end of the communication: "Understood, you have never made a mistake these years, and I trust your judgment. Now, tell me about your plan."

Ran Qingzhuang didn't delay, and quickly and carefully stated his entire plan.I was quite shocked, but I didn't hear my part for a long time.

Didn't you say you need my cover assistance?

At the end of the day, as I was about to end the call, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you need me...to do anything?"

No one answered me, Ran Qingzhuang glanced at the time, pressed the earphone and said: "It's almost time, I will contact you in the morning of the day after tomorrow. Goodbye, brood."

"Goodbye, Heron."

After turning off the communicator, Ran Qingzhuang took off the earphones and reached out to me.

It took me a while to realize that he wanted headphones, so I quickly took them off and put them in his palm.

After resealing the things, Ran Qingzhuang stepped on the toilet seat again.

"What am I going to do tomorrow?" I looked up at him from below.

He hooked his hands, and carefully restored the ceiling after placing the things.

"Have you ever done it with someone?" He said this in a calmer tone than when he introduced the bayonet.

With my lips parted slightly, I made a stupid single sound in a daze: "Ah..."
