Chapter 27 Purple Man

Holding a plate from an antique store in her hand, Jessica walked down an alley with her pocket in her pocket.

At this moment, several dark figures gradually followed.

"While I'm in a good mood now and don't want to cause trouble, get out of my way and don't make me angry."

At the entrance of the alley, she noticed the figure following behind her. Jessica stopped, turned to look at the few people behind her, raised her head and said calmly.

In the face of Jessica's threat, the people on the opposite side showed neither mocking expressions nor any worried expressions. They stood at the entrance of the alley. Although their appearance and even the color of their skin were different, they looked at Jessica in front of them with the same numb expression.

The strange reactions of several people made Jessica's originally casual expression gradually dignified, and the scene in front of her made her start to recall the nightmare she had been getting rid of but could never forget.

She panicked, but couldn't make a conclusion.

Because, that person should have died in a previous car accident.

"I've been looking for you, little Jessica."

At this time, among the people on the opposite side, a white man with a gray beard spoke up.

If Li Ran was here, he would have recognized that the man who spoke was the old Jack from the laundry next door.

At this moment, Old Jack looked at Jessica with a straight face and said, "In the past, I have always lived in a fictional life constructed by myself, and it was not until you appeared that I found myself Your life is no longer monotonous, Jessica, you are a special existence, and only I can let you show your difference to the fullest."

"Kilgrave!"

Click, click—

The ceramic plate in her hand shattered into pieces under super strength. Jessica ignored the wound on her hand and stared at the expressionless old Jack in front of her.

Since the accident, she has been working hard to get rid of her past demons and nightmares, but she doesn't want to be found by nightmares in the end.

...

"Jessica, what did I tell you?"

Walking into the antique shop, the man ignored Li Ran who was standing in the shop. He first glanced at the decorations in the antique shop with a leisurely face, and then took a look at the things on the shelf. With a natural tone, he asked Li Ran in front of him.

"what?"

Facing the strange behavior of the man in front of him, Li Ran was subconsciously surprised. He frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but he felt that his originally calm heartbeat began to beat rapidly, and it jumped faster and faster.

"Um?"

Before the meeting, Li Ran did not answer immediately according to his own thoughts. The man subconsciously raised his eyebrows, put down the ceramics in his hand and looked over.

"Just an ordinary transaction."

Immediately afterwards, the answer in Li Ran's mouth made the man stop the movement of turning his head and put his eyes back on the antiques on the shelf.

It seems that it is not that his ability has lost its effect.

"What deal?" He continued to ask while flipping through the specious 'antique' man on the shelf.

"A ring." Li Ran replied expressionlessly with a straight face.

"Bring it to me."

"Yes."

Li Ran nodded, turned and walked towards the counter where the ring was placed.

"You weren't under my control, right?" But right at this moment, the man who had been acting nonchalantly, standing in front of the shelf, spoke again.

"When did you find out?"

When the man revealed his disguise, Li Ran stopped,

Looking at the counter just a few steps away from him, he asked immediately.

"From the beginning." He continued to play with the 'antique' he was facing, and upon hearing Li Ran's question, the man turned over the statue in his hand and looked at the Made in China sign at the bottom, and replied, "I am very impressed with my abilities. I understand, so there is absolutely no possibility of a delay in ability like just now."

"Although it's not clear why my ability doesn't work on you," the man put down the statue in his hand and gradually put his eyes on Li Ran in front of him: "However, I have always hated accidents, and your existence is not good for you. It was a huge surprise for me."

Speaking of this, the original indifferent look in the man's eyes gradually disappeared, and his expression became more and more cold and indifferent.

"Exactly, I personally, too, hate threats."

Looking at the man's fierce expression, Li Ran also sank his face and replied coldly.

Combining a man's attire and his interpretation of his abilities.

Li Ran can basically confirm that the identity of the man who appeared in the antique shop is Jessica Jones' biggest opponent and nightmare - the purple man.

Of course, there is also systematic evidence.

[Fame from Kilgrave +25]

...

Before, the dialogue between Li Ran and the purple man Kilgrave in the antique shop seemed ordinary, but there was a huge danger behind it.

If it wasn't for Li Ran who had been using [Wesley]'s card recently and didn't replace it, maybe he would have been controlled by Ziren's ability at that moment.

The skill of [Adrenal Acceleration] not only gave Li Ran extraordinary dynamic vision and neural reflex speed, but also gave him the opportunity to fight against the terrifying virus of the Purple Man.

The rapidly beating heart made it difficult for Ziren's control virus to easily infect Li Ran.

However, after being exposed to Ziren's abilities all the time, Li Ran could also feel that his fast heart was slowing down, and his originally clear brain also began to have vague fantasies.

"It turns out that you are not completely immune to my ability."

Noticing the struggling expression on Li Ran's face, Kilgrave stopped his steps.

Although, in addition to the ability to easily control others, Kilgrave himself also has a good fighting ability, but compared with doing it himself, he still prefers to use commands to let people do it themselves.

"It's just delaying my ability to function."

Kilgrave could sense it.

As a client, Li Ran is naturally more aware of his own situation. As his heartbeat continues to slow down, he can feel his increasingly blurred mind and his gradually stiff and uncontrollable fingers. It was a simple handshake, but now it has become extraordinarily difficult. difficult.

Perhaps, the next minute, or even the next second, he will lose control of his body. And from what he said earlier, when Li Ran loses control, there may be no possibility of waking up again.

Thinking of this, Li Ran immediately stopped hesitating, controlled his body that was gradually stiff and jerky, and suddenly rushed towards the counter in front of him.
