At this mont, Jiang Ran was sitting on the sofa. The TV was tuned to so unknown channel, playing a drama about tearing apart Japanese soldiers.
And Kim Yoon-ah was sitting right beside him, acting like a sweet, delicate little woman.
He was chattering away, chatting with Jiang Ran, doing things to build affection.
At first, Jiang Ran's attention was on the TV drama, but later it shifted to Kim Yoon-ah.
He looked the person in front of him up and down. What a beauty.
Especially since he had the face of a female celebrity.
Forget that he wasn't a real woman; even as a man, he would attract many straight guys, willing to "know the man and still go for it."
Just like that recently viral short video star, Happy Yuan Yuan.
Listening to Kim Yoon-ah's chatter, Jiang Ran felt sowhat bored.
Imdiately, he reached out a large hand, heading for Kim Yoon-ah's thigh.
Kim Yoon-ah saw Jiang Ran suddenly reaching out to touch his thigh.
He thought that ever since arriving at this apartnt, his seduction attempts and emotional plays on Jiang Ran had finally made this man unable to suppress his desires, ready to take the bait.
He had originally planned to act surprised and angry after Jiang Ran touched his thigh.
But, contrary to his expectations, Jiang Ran wasn't touching his thigh.
Instead...
Jiang Ran said, "Even among cross-dressing masters, you should be top-tier."
These words sent a jolt of electricity through Kim Yoon-ah's entire body.
He slapped away Jiang Ran's large hand and, the next second, shot up from the sofa, staring at Jiang Ran in shock.
"You... you found out?"
Jiang Ran smiled with a hint of mockery. "What do you think?"
Kim Yoon-ah gritted his silver teeth. "When?!"
Jiang Ran said, "That's not important."
"What's important is your purpose for getting close to , and everything you know about this place. I want to know it all."
Kim Yoon-ah took several startled steps back. "What if I don't tell you?"
Jiang Ran curled his lip. "Then I'll have no choice but to send you away from this world."
Kim Yoon-ah snorted disdainfully. "There's an ancient poem from your Hua Country that I really like."
Jiang Ran said, "Tell ?"
Kim Yoon-ah recited, "Since ancient tis, who can escape death? Let my loyal heart shine in the pages of history!"
Jiang Ran said, "Not bad, not bad. I like that one too, especially its author, Wen Tianxiang."
"Until the very end, he never surrendered to the Yuan army, no matter what high positions and riches they promised."
"That kind of person, I truly admire deeply."
"He's absolutely incomparable to that recent online figure, the 'servant of three surnas'—Shi Lang."
"So... you intend to resist to the death?"
Kim Yoon-ah waved a hand. "Although I really like those two lines, I myself can't live up to them."
"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything."
Kim Yoon-ah gave up. At this mont, he completely abandoned any ideas about Jiang Ran.
Killing Jiang Ran.
No chance.
The paper screen has been pierced.
As for forcibly killing Jiang Ran?
Did he even have the capability?
Jiang Ran settled into a comfortable position on the sofa, like a teacher facing a student.
He listened as the misbehaving student, Kim Yoon-ah, narrated the causes and consequences of his wrongdoing.
Kim Yoon-ah sighed. It was truly a case of "having the heart to kill the traitor, but lacking the power to turn the tide."
He said, "I'm from Korea. I ca from the Alice Apartnt in Korea. My purpose is to kill you. As long as I kill you, I can return to the Alice Apartnt in Korea."
Jiang Ran said, "That's it?"
Kim Yoon-ah said, "One more thing: you are a lab rat. That's all."
Jiang Ran thought for a mont and said, "If I'm a lab rat, then the new residents who introduced themselves as such at that welco party with are also lab rats?"
Kim Yoon-ah said, "Right. It's the sa in our Korean Alice Apartnt."
Jiang Ran went, "Oh." He continued, "They hold a welco party irregularly. Those who introduce themselves as new residents at the welco party are all lab rats."
"Many residents in this apartnt are extrely deranged serial killers. Many of the ones I've encountered are."
"Lab rats and these deranged serial killers are placed in the sa apartnt."
At this point, Jiang Ran turned his head, continuously scanning all directions of the room he was in, especially the ceiling.
He seed to be searching for sothing.
He muttered to himself, "This place... is either a research facility studying the psychology and behavior of deranged criminals, serial killers... or... it's a place to satisfy the viewing desires of so perverted individuals..."
"Kim Yoon-ah, you're also a pervert who enjoys killing, right?"
Jiang Ran looked at Kim Yoon-ah with that sa mocking smile.
Kim Yoon-ah scratched his snow-white forehead. This was the first ti soone had asked him this question so bluntly.
He nodded.
Jiang Ran asked, "So, that Alice Apartnt in Korea, which is the sa as here, what benefits did they give you to make you stay here obediently and play along with them?"
Kim Yoon-ah sighed deeply. "I had no choice. My cris in the outside world were exposed. I was about to be sentenced to death."
"But in the end, soone saved and placed there."
"I kept my life, though I lost my freedom..."
Jiang Ran said, "So the other murderous perverts here are all like you? Don't you want to escape?"
Kim Yoon-ah shook his head. "Although I lost my freedom, at least I can still live. And besides not being able to leave the apartnt, I can pretty much do whatever I want."
"Besides, even if I could get out, even if the mastermind behind the apartnt let go, everyone here committed serious cris in the outside world, so even capital offenses. Going out would make us pariahs."
"Of course, if I could get out, I originally had money. I could get a new identity and still live well. But the problem is, the mastermind behind the apartnt won't let go."
"How pitiful. So, what's the deal with you saying you ca specifically to kill ?"
Jiang Ran took a sip of the plain water on the table to moisten his throat.
Kim Yoon-ah said, "It's probably rules, privileges, or sothing like that. I don't know who used what to transfer here to kill you."
"Oh, I rember. Last ti, that person seed to have also transferred soone nad Robert, one of the world's top ten serial killers or sothing, to kill you. Probably failed."
Kim Yoon-ah's eyes t Jiang Ran's directly.
Jiang Ran naturally rembered.
After all, during the confrontation with Robert, he was the one who resolved it in the end.
It was also the first ti his complete main personality had erged since he crossed over.
Jiang Ran thought for another mont and said, "Since you can't kill , doesn't that an you'll have to stay here forever from now on?"
Kim Yoon-ah sighed. "Yeah, no way around it. Unless you let kill you and complete the task perfectly, then I can go back."
Jiang Ran smiled, reverting to his usual amiable facade. "Alright, give up. Living well here isn't so bad either."
Kim Yoon-ah said, "No, I still want to go back."
Jiang Ran asked why.
Kim Yoon-ah said, "I'm used to living in Korea. The food, the flavors, everything. Coming here, although it's very novel, after experiencing it, I definitely still won't be used to it."
...
Jiang Ran and Kim Yoon-ah chatted a bit more.
Then Kim Yoon-ah left. He should be feeling quite desperate right now. After all, barring any accidents, he'll probably have to stay here for life.
As for Jiang Ran, he put on clean clothes, went downstairs, got on his electric bike, and left Alice Apartnt.
