At this time, her eyes were bloodshot, the sharp claws on her fingers stretched out, she was gasping for breath, and there was only one thought in her mind, which was to beat this human to his knees and beg for mercy!
Soon, Adela found the human boy standing not far away, and she pounced on him while roaring like a wild beast!
Now her strength, speed and reaction have all reached a new level, and she feels as if she can do anything!
However, no matter how fast she moved, for some reason, her attacks could never hit the boy. Instead, her physical strength was rapidly depleted as she missed again and again.
Gradually, Adela's body could no longer support this reckless fighting style. Her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to explode. At the same time, the intense pain strangled Adela's limbs like chains, making her breathless even when she took a step.
Finally, the stubborn White Wolf Girl fell down. She sat sideways on the ground, breathing heavily, her vision blurred by sweat, and her ears filled with tinnitus.
She seemed to vaguely hear the boy say something like "Stop struggling in vain", but when she came to her senses and raised her head, the boy had disappeared.
·
·
"What the hell is going on here..."
Adela sat on the ground with her back against the wall.
She was now tired, hungry and thirsty, and felt as if her body was falling apart and was no longer her own.
She had never liked to use her brain, but in this desperate situation, she had no choice but to use her brain to sort out her situation.
Because her instinct told her that if she didn't think of a solution, she would probably die in this tower.
·
Death, this was something Adela had never considered.
·
Driven by the fear of death, Adela came to the black stone tablet on the first floor and sorted out her situation for the first time.
——(If you don’t climb up, you will die.)
——(If you haven't passed the so-called "survival floor" by the time the countdown ends, you will die.)
——(I can’t stay here any longer.)
Adela slapped her face so hard that she left two bright red handprints on it.
Then, she picked up the corpses of skeleton monsters along the way to use as road signs, leaving marks at every intersection. Using this method, she quickly reached the second floor.
——(Success! I can do it!)
Adela was thrilled to have achieved a breakthrough in her class! This was something she had achieved solely through her own strength!
After arriving at the second floor, Adela began to think about another thing, that is, why did the human boy confront her?
——(Since that guy is also trapped in this tower, shouldn’t he also try to escape?)
——(He had already climbed to the upper floor, why did he come down to bully me?)
8.105 - Jiang Ran's Plan (Part )
Adela couldn't figure it out.
Admittedly, her attitude was rather bad during the two encounters, but logically speaking, it shouldn't have escalated to the point of fighting for life, right?
At this moment, Adela suddenly recalled the bad behavior of this young man. Not only did he "steal" her pizza, but he also "stole" her crossbow and dagger. He attacked her with malicious intent!
——(Ahhh, what an idiot I am!)
——(Why did I only figure this out now!)
——(This guy's only goal is to escape from here alone!)
After who knows how many beats, the "naive" Adela finally figured it out.
Whether it is food or weapons, these are the most precious resources in this closed tower. This young man came to snatch these resources and then left me behind. Is there any need to think about what the meaning of his behavior of not caring about my life or death represents?
And she was so naive that she actually worried about the boy's life!
Now, Adela, who always regarded herself as a little devil, finally figured it out... This time she met a real "devil".
So, with her current strength, can she defeat this demon and escape from this "tower"?
Frankly speaking, Adela had no confidence.
However, she also knew that this was no longer a question of confidence, but that she had no choice.
To get out alive, Adela must defeat the boy.
·
·
Adela struggled to regain her morale, but she didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at her nearby.
Yes, Jiang Ran actually never left Adela's side.
Hiding in the shadows thanks to the effect of the "Black Jade Ring", he always observed Adela's every move, especially the changes in her inner world, from a distance.
Generally speaking, if you want to capture someone's heart, you must be nice to her, but this time Jiang Ran did the opposite and formed an antagonistic relationship with Adela without any mercy.
So, why did Jiang Ran do this? Could it be that he discovered that Adela had masochistic tendencies?
No, of course not.
The truth of the matter is that because the psychological effect Jiang Ran was going to apply next required this kind of opposing relationship, he deliberately created a conflict between the two.
The psychological effect he wanted to apply was called the "Stockholm Effect."
·
It has been mentioned in the previous article that Jiang Ran already has a plan in mind and is in the process of implementing it.
The name of this plan is called "Stockholm Plan", and its core principle is to apply the Stockholm effect to make the white wolf girl Adela be obediently "controlled" by Jiang Ran.
In this plan, Jiang Ran not only intended to gain confession points, but also wanted to get out of the tower alive, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
The so-called Stockholm effect, also known as the hostage complex, refers to a complex in which hostages develop feelings for their hijackers and even help the hijackers in return.
Psychologists around the world have found that under special circumstances, hostages will develop a sense of psychological dependence on their hijackers.
This is because their life and death are controlled by the hijackers, so they will be grateful as long as the hijackers let them survive.
In this special unequal situation, the hostages will gradually develop the illusion that they share the same fate with the hijackers, mistakenly regarding the hijackers' future as their own future, and the hijackers' safety as their own safety - and even fall in love with the hijackers.
Jiang Ran's plan was to use this psychological effect to make the pampered, willful and capricious white wolf girl Adela become obedient.
However, to achieve the Stockholm effect, it is not enough to just kidnap a hostage and then treat her well. There are many prerequisites.
The most important point is that the hostage should be the type who tends to be emotionally dependent on others and easily moved.
Jiang Ran was very lucky. According to his observation, the White Wolf Girl should meet this requirement.
Although he had not been in contact with Adela for a long time, fortunately there were enough events.
In both the "Mishasha Incident" and the "First Encounter in the Tower Incident", Adela displayed the typical "rich woman lacking love personality", being willful and capricious, or arrogant and domineering, all of which were done to attract other people's attention.
The best evidence is that she clearly had the opportunity to kill Jiang Ran, but she changed her aim at the last moment.
And in the "third encounter" not long ago today, the White Wolf Girl fell into panic because she thought she had killed Jiang Ran, which undoubtedly confirmed Jiang Ran's suspicion about her.
·
After the prerequisites are established, the next step is the more difficult "relationship building" and "environment building".
Jiang Ran must make Adela feel the true "prisoner's situation", which can be simply summarized into four points:
1. To pose a real threat to Adela's life;
Second, we must isolate Adela from all external information;
3. Make Adela believe that she has no chance of escape;
4. Make Adela believe that Jiang Ran has become the master of her destiny;
Among these four points, the second point has already been formed naturally, and what Jiang Ran needs to do next is to achieve points one, three and four one after another.
After the incident just now, Jiang Ran had successfully left a bad impression on Adela, and also laid the groundwork for "food shortage".
However, this is just a simple relationship between "villain and victim". Jiang Ran's next goal is to make Adela realize that she was not trapped in the tower by the octopus monster, but was kidnapped in the tower by the big villain "Fike".
To this end, Jiang Ran went ahead and came to the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor, where he sat to brush up his skills and wait for the opportunity.
Based on his current understanding of Adela, this white wolf girl will soon come to him on her own initiative.
·
Two hours later, Adela showed up as expected.
The wolf king's daughter with white hair and golden eyes now has a sense of determination that she didn't have before.
Jiang Ran sat and looked at her, thinking to himself that he had activated a good seedling, but it was a pity that he could not charge the Wolf King Chief. It was really a big loss.
As Adela explored along the way, she had a skeleton warrior sword and a square shield in her hands. It can be seen that she had also considered how to fight the human boy.
"Didn't you hear me, you little bastard? ... Stop struggling in vain."
Jiang Ran deliberately pretended to be arrogant. He wanted to polish the sharpness of the white wolf girl step by step until she faced the reality.
"I've taken note of your insult to the werewolf royal family, but I won't argue with you for now!"
To Jiang Ran's surprise, the White Wolf Girl was not angry at all, and her thinking logic was much more mature than before... In fact, she was not here to seek revenge on him.
"Unknown human boy, I propose to you..."
Adela placed her right hand on her chest at her heart very solemnly, and every word she spoke was powerful.
"Let's work together to escape from this tower. Then, as long as we can successfully escape, I swear in the name of Adela Okami, the daughter of the Wolf King Chief, that I will forgive all the evil deeds you have committed against me!"
In Adela's opinion, this was definitely the most reasonable proposal, and humans had no reason to refuse.
However, just after she finished speaking, the human boy burst into laughter like crazy.

8.106 - Adela's Plot (Part )
━━━━━━━━━━
October 187, 7
10:38 AM
"Tower countdown remaining: 229 hours, 28 minutes, 15 seconds"
[Confession death countdown remaining: 12 days]
━━━━━━━━━━
Jiang Ran must go crazy at this time, he must go crazy.
Because only a madman would reject such a reasonable proposal from Adela.
In such a special environment, even a demon who wants to destroy the world would be willing to cooperate with his only "teammate" first... Even if he must harm Adela, he can wait until "it is safe to leave the tower."
"Your suggestion is good, but I refuse!"
Jiang Ran laughed and clapped his hands. His devilish smile and narrowed eyes made Adela frown in confusion.
"Why do you refuse? Don't you want to get out of this tower?!" Adela asked.
"Of course I want to get out of here, but I have more important things to do." Jiang Ran replied slowly.
"whats the matter?"
"I want to protect my companions."
"Protect your companions? Then shouldn't you get out of this tower?"
Adela was really confused. She had begun to suspect that there was something wrong with the human boy's brain.
·
"Even if I get out, I'm no match for Kenroshi Okami, and if I trap you in this tower, he won't dare attack my companions."
However, the human boy's answer immediately made his words reasonable. Adela then understood that the boy wanted to protect his companions from his second brother, and she herself was taken hostage.
But, this is too much of a coincidence, why does this young man happen to be in the "Tower"?
