Alien Executioner

But she is already an adult, has grown up, and learned to be independent. She can no longer look forward to an ordinary birthday for a girl like she did in the past. All she can do is be forced to accept it all. Perhaps if it weren't for her mother's request, An Ran guessed that she would rather stay in the third district for the rest of her life.

The banquet ended quickly. It was not a long process and people did not find much fun in it, but some people watched it with great gusto.

An Ran kept staring at where Loni was going. The little blonde girl was drunk again and was hugged and teased by the older girls, which was very adorable.

"We should be proud of our lovely Miss Youshang. You are more popular than anyone else." An Ran pulled Roni from the crowd. Under his blood-red gaze, the girl finally came to her senses a little.

"Why are you meddling in other people's business?" Ronnie didn't appreciate it and shook off his hand with a look of disgust.

She snorted. "I bet something big is going to happen."

"Someone will die." An Ran stared at the wine glass in his hand.

"Quite perceptive, as expected of a monster, Naya's instinct? I heard from your sister that you've eaten the Deathly Hallows, is that true? Did Deagaus die like this?"

An Ran has gotten used to her sister telling everyone everything.

He didn't nod, but he didn't deny it either.

A few minutes later, everyone was at the banquet table, and a group of solemn-looking palace maids, wearing white aprons, identical hairnets, and the canary emblem of the Tananya family on their chests, transformed the hall into a dining room, which seemed incredible at first glance.

Only a few people had not moved, including An Ran and Roni. He noticed that You Shang was always observing the maids.

Suddenly, Loni stepped back in shock. Behind the princess were several maids with an obvious stench of decay. They walked towards the An couple. An Ran looked at them and felt a sense of crisis explode in his heart.

He strode towards his mother, instinctively wanting to stop something, but nothing happened. In the eyes of everyone, this Mr. An's performance was a little startled.

"Please sit down." Aunt An Moshu spoke first.

"You are the only one missing. Hurry up. My son is the best drinker." An Mochen cunningly filled the wine glass in front of An Ran's seat.

Whenever my aunt spoke, my father was always a beat slow to react. I didn’t know if it was an illusion, but it felt like the two of them shared the same brain.

Seeing that nothing happened, An Ran breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at her sister. An Xin's eyes flashed with some hint.

An Xiao twisted uncomfortably, "The princess looks strange."

Her voice was so soft that everyone at the table heard it.

The princess stood in front of the chair as if she was hesitating. There was an uncoordinated panting sound coming from behind the mask. She took a step back to make way. The queen came over and her eyes fell on An Ran.

"Your Majesty." An Ran said respectfully.

"I didn't expect you to grow up so fast. You're quite different from when you were a child." The Queen smiled and sat down.

An Ran suddenly felt very stuffy. With the appearance of the Queen, the feeling of suffocation became stronger and the originally soft breath became pungent.

His fingers tapped the table involuntarily, and he lowered his head with a somewhat arrogant look, as if he was thinking about something. The Queen didn't mind it, as she had already learned from An Moshu that this child had an introverted personality.

"Your Majesty, I would like to change my clothes. Please allow me to leave."

"Of course, but I think you look pretty good now." The queen looked back at her daughter thoughtfully, "Child, this is the man you've always wanted to meet. He's here now, so say hello."

This is not the real Ottilia, but just a fake. An Ran looked at the Queen warily, thinking that maybe she was acting.

The princess didn't speak.

The feeling grew deeper and deeper, fueling Naya's madness.

Ever since Deagaus' death, An Ran has never had this feeling again. This is the instinctive hostility between monsters, and they want to devour each other.

He soon realized that there was a ghost hidden in this banquet, which was constantly observing him silently.

An Ran turned his head and looked at everyone. Almost in an instant, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

The weird fantasy was fleeting.

"My brother needs to rest. He has a serious nervous breakdown, not to mention what happened last night." An Xin excused him, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but sometimes things don't look good."

"I should be the one to say sorry. I have asked someone to thoroughly investigate the assassination that took place last night, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." The Queen shook her head apologetically and raised her glass. "Mr. An Mochen, Mrs. Xu Yuqing, and Mrs. An Moshu, I am so grateful that you can attend my daughter's birthday party."

The princess finally sat down. She raised her glass in a formal manner, but she did not drink it. Her eyes were fixed on An Ran's face.

It was not difficult to tell from her actions that she was particularly focused on An Ran, and the mask she wore seemed to be embedded in her face like an illusion.

"It seems that our children don't like each other, but it doesn't matter." An Mochen was confident, "I believe that Her Royal Highness will find more opportunities. Although An Ran is a very cold person, his sexual orientation is normal."

"The person who is engaged to my elder brother is the princess?" An Xiao was suspicious.

"I thought you knew, Miss Xiao."

"I have guessed it." An Xiao looked at his brother. An Ran had already stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." The princess finally spoke, but her tone was wrong, very dry. She raised the wine glass to indicate, the implication was very clear, if An Ran wanted to leave, he had to drink this glass of wine, this was the princess's banquet, the people who came had to at least give basic face.

An Ran took the wine glass with a thoughtful expression. As the glass got closer, the pungent smell became stronger.

The false princess was eager to drink the wine herself, as if there was poison hidden in the wine.

He smiled and drank it in one gulp under everyone's gaze. The moment he put down the glass, something unexpected happened.

Everyone speculated that the princess and Master An were having an affair again, and thought that this was her way of keeping her fiancé. Just when they were preparing to watch a good show, the princess actually pounced on An Ran, holding a silver dagger, and stabbed it into his chest. Half-black and half-red blood gushed out, and the smell of blood woke them up.

A few seconds later, everyone screamed in fear. The maid following the princess changed her beautiful face into a hideous and terrifying one, with alien features growing on her body. The banquet hall fell into a brief chaos. The queen was horrified and escaped under the protection of the palace attendants.

An Ran pushed the princess away. The other members of the An family behaved quite calmly. The red-robed waiters quickly eliminated the rioting aliens disguised as maids. They surrounded the princess, only to see the girl's body growing taller and swell until she became a huge monster, completely losing her feminine outline.

Before the guests could react to what was happening, they saw a giant alien creature in front of them.

The queen screamed and looked at her daughter with disbelief.

The monster escaped from the encirclement of the red waiters, grabbed the Pope's neck and broke it, and tore the bodies of several innocent people into pieces.

An Xin took action personally, cutting off its head with a silver sword.

With a wailing sound, the mysterious princess in everyone's mind ended up as a monster.

An Ran touched the scar on his chest and recovered at an extremely fast speed.

The family's treatment was very efficient. Several red-dressed waiters carried him out on a stretcher and prepared to send him to the hospital. He knew that he was fine, and his parents knew it too, but the other VIPs who didn't know the truth only saw Master An being assassinated by the princess, and then the princess turned into a super alien and died.

This was a very absurd assassination, and with the help of her identity as a princess, An Ran raised her head while lying on the stretcher and vaguely heard some sound.

He understood that this was a test from Shang.

I turned my head slightly and caught a glimpse of Ronnie following me. She looked flustered and kept muttering something.

"Damn it, there's also Shang..."

Chapter 36: Sad Words (I)

Three days later, in the dark, someone was tiptoeing in the hospital corridor, avoiding the inspection of the nurses and the red-dressed waiters. She pushed open the door, the lights came on, and An Ran lay quietly on the bed, her back resting against the pillow, leisurely reading a newspaper.

During these three days, An Ran spent time in the hospital as a wounded soldier. He was not seriously injured, and the fatal wound on his chest only lasted for a moment, but he had to pretend to be injured in order to deceive the Tananiya family.

The news that the princess assassinated Mr. An has spread, but it was also quickly confirmed that the princess was fake. Otilia admitted her mistake to her mother that day, because she was too playful, the alien species had the opportunity to take advantage of her. So the Tananya family claimed that the real princess was safe and sound, and the accident happened because the princess was kidnapped.

The Tananya family was indeed very clever in packaging themselves as victims, and they did calm the storm.

An Ran noticed the door opening silently. The light in the corridor revealed a familiar silhouette. She slowly closed the door. Otilia walked to the bedside. They looked at each other. She moved a chair and sat down, staring at his face until he put down the newspaper.

"Not many people read newspapers nowadays," Otilia said calmly.

"The doctor said that if you are injured, you should not watch electronic products as it will affect your mental state." An Ran put down the newspaper and looked at the girl curiously.

As a princess, Otilia didn't seem to care much about her clothes. She simply wore a double-layer sweater to keep warm. She was just an ordinary East Slavic girl with her golden hair tied up. She was like a phantom in the bright ward, exuding a faint fragrance that reminded people of Arctic poppies.

An Ran didn't hate the smell. Otilia didn't have the pungent smell from the banquet, but instead made people feel attached to her.

"The premise is that you are really injured, but I can't tell that you are injured now." Otilia glanced at his chest. "I've heard that Director An has an invulnerable body. Even if he was shot by a bullet, he would be safe and sound. What about a mere dagger?"

An Ran was silent for a while, then changed the subject: "I have been waiting for you, but three days have passed and I thought you were dead."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you satisfied now? I know you have been waiting for my explanation. What happened at the party has nothing to do with me." Ottilia stood up silently and paced slowly in the empty space of the ward, holding something in her palm, like a syringe.

"I was taking a walk outside and had lunch. Not long after, my mother called me. Her tone was very anxious, as if she was trying to confirm whether I was dead or alive. I soon realized that you were assassinated in public by the fake princess, and those lurking alien species were also wiped out by your sister."

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I have no reason to let you die. Many people speculate that you are my fiancé, and in fact it is true, at least you used to be." Ottilia smiled bitterly.

"You have a reason to kill me."

"What's the reason?" Ottilia stopped pacing, her eyes flashing with interest.

"I rejected you, and you turned love into hatred. I have encountered this kind of thing more than once. In addition to fighting aliens, the executive officers spend most of their time on investigations, so it is inevitable that they will encounter incidents that need to be resolved by the police."

"That's purely self-righteous. I want you not just because I like you, but because you are the only man qualified to be my partner." Otilia sneered, "I am a princess and the future queen. I have been exposed to power and business earlier than you, and I know what is most important."

"So I wouldn't be happy in your company."

"Then what kind of girl do you like?"

Originally, Ottilia came to the ward to apologize to An Ran, but the development of the topic afterwards was a little inexplicable. An Ran pretended to read the newspaper, and An Xin's face, the commotion at night, and that strong yet gentle smile appeared in his mind at the right time.

"Just tell me whether you like beautiful women or not."

"You should like it."

"Should? How can you, a man, not even answer this question with certainty? Is there really a problem with your sexual orientation? But it's not a problem. I don't mind that you are gay. All I want is your identity. If we unite, we can both get what we want."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not gay." An Ran remembered that he was Naya, and in a deeper sense, he was indeed a gay.

"That's it. You're a man and you like beautiful women. Besides that, do you hope that this beautiful woman has money?"

"It would be even better if the other party has independent financial ability."

"Very good, it seems you are not stupid. If such a woman has power and ability, it would be better, right?" Otilia stared at An Ran, "There is such a woman in front of you, but why don't you feel anything?"

"A woman like this is indeed qualified to be with me, but if I don't like her, nothing can help." An Ran shrugged, "To put it bluntly, I'm not interested. You are indeed qualified, but what I want is love. Do you know what love is?"

"Can people like us still have love?"

Otilia said coldly: "Even if you have that feeling, it's just the ripples of hormones for a minute. I understand what you mean. The girl you chose is very simple. You just like her, no matter if she is poor or not. But your problem now is that you have no feelings for anyone."

"Yeah." An Ran felt that the summary was quite accurate, provided that he was really a man.

"Forget it, talking to you is a waste of time. My mother wants me to marry you, but I don't think it's possible." Ottilia stood up and walked to the door, then suddenly turned around.

"As for why you were assassinated, my family is investigating. This is District 1, and your An family's power is limited after all. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer, but you have to understand one thing, you are the man I chose, and I will not tolerate any other woman getting there first."

But I am already someone else's woman... An Ran complained silently in her heart. This princess was destined to not get her wish. All the women in this world who fell in love with An Ran were wrong. An Ran should not have been loved. She was just a disguised shell and a false appearance of Naya.

After watching Ottilia leave, An Ran continued to read the newspaper, but his eyes were glancing at the corner of the ward.

The little blonde girl came out from behind the curtains and shook her head regretfully.

"There is no scent of Shang on her." Young Shang was very confident in his sense of smell and denied the possibility that the princess was related to Shang.

"Let me make it clear in advance that everything you do is voluntary, and your contribution will not give you the possibility of leaving." An Ran chuckled.

"You are my plaything, little young man."

Loni turned her head to avoid the smell of Naya on him, "You are a bastard, I don't want to help you! If it weren't for Naya..."

"What's the difference between Nia and me?" An Ran reminded seriously.

"Don't be so arrogant. I believe in my companions. They—"

"Then wait for them." An Ran threw down the newspaper and snapped his fingers. Under the stimulation of the tentacles, Loni reluctantly sat on the edge of the bed.

After looking for a while, An Ran sighed helplessly.

"Shang is such a failure for living like you. If I really eat you, I might be affected."

Chapter 37: Sad Words (Part )

"you!"

Loni was so angry that she was shaking all over. It was a shame for her to be offended but unable to do anything. She stomped her feet and ran out of the ward in big strides.

With the tentacles monitoring, there was no need to worry about her escape. An Ran snapped his fingers, and a waiter in red came in and respectfully prepared today's dinner. The white light illuminated the fine wine in the glass.

There was a note on the dining car, written by An Xiao. [Brother, please take care of yourself. I will investigate the murderer behind the scenes. Please don't worry.]

An Ran frowned, believing that her sister could really do it. That was just her personality.

"Nonsense!" he muttered softly, took out his second phone and called the Sally Club in the third district.

The call was connected, but it was not from Mr. Hilbert. There had been no news about that man recently. The voice on the other end was euphemistic and reserved: "I'm sorry, Director An, our club has not developed any business in District 1, so I'm afraid we can't provide you with any help or service."

"I remember that the Sally Club can mobilize resources anywhere in the world." An Ran frowned.

"It's like this, it doesn't include District 1." The man who answered the phone replied gently, "District 1 has the White Bird Club and the White Bird Security Service Company, which are your family's own forces. We have no way of interfering."

"I forgot. Sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome. How can I ask you to say sorry?" The man was flattered. "If Director An really has something difficult to solve, we can also mobilize bounty hunters to go to District 1. As long as you need us, we can do it now!"

"It's okay. I don't think you can help much." An Ran hung up the phone and found her aunt's White Bird Club contact hotline through Ling.
