With a plate from an antique shop in her hand, Jessica walked through an alley with her coat pocket.

At this moment, several pitch-black figures gradually followed.

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

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

In the face of Jessica's threat, the people on the other side did not show either a look of ridicule or any concern. They stood at the entrance of the alley, although their appearance and even the color of their skin were different, but they looked at Jessica in front of them motionlessly with the same numb expression.

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

She panicked, but couldn't tell.

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

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

At this time, among the people opposite, a white man with a white beard spoke.

If Li Ran was here, he would recognize that the man who spoke was the old Jack of the laundry shop next door.

At this moment, Old Jack looked at Jessica with a blank face and said: "In the past, I have always lived in the fictional life I constructed, and it was not until you appeared that I realized that my life was no longer monotonous, Jessica, you are a special existence, and only I can let you show your differences." ”

"Kilgrave!"

Click, click-

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

Since that accident, she has been trying to rid herself of her past demons and nightmares, but she doesn't want to end up being found by nightmares.

……

"Jessica, what did I tell you?"

Walking into the antique shop, the man didn't pay attention to Li Ran standing in the store, he first swept the decoration of the antique store with a leisurely face, and then picked up the things on the shelf and took a look, and then asked Li Ran in front of him in a natural tone.

"What?"

Faced with 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 beat faster and faster.

"Huh?"

Before meeting, Li Ran did not answer according to his own thoughts at the first time, the man subconsciously jumped his eyebrows, put down the ceramic in his hand and looked over.

"Just an ordinary transaction."

Immediately afterwards, Li Ran's answer made the man stop his original turning of his head and return his gaze to the antiques on the shelf.

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

"What deal?" The man continued to ask as he flipped through the plausible 'antique' man on the shelf.

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

"Bring it to me."

"Yes."

Li Ran nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the counter where the ring was placed.

"You're not under my control, are you?" At this moment, the man who was standing in front of the shelf, who had been acting casually, spoke again.

"When did you find out?"

Broken by the man's disguise, Li Ran stopped, looked at the counter just a few steps away from him, and then asked.

"From the beginning." Continuing to fiddle with the 'antiques' he was facing, hearing Li Ran's inquiry, the man replied while flipping up the statue in his hand and looking at the logo of Made in China at the bottom: "I know my ability very well, 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 looked at Li Ran in front of him: "However, I've always hated accidents, and your existence is a huge accident for me." ”

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

"It just so happens that I personally hate threats."

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

Combined with the man's dress, and his explanation of his own abilities.

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

Of course, there is also the evidence of the system.

[Legend +25 from Kilgrave]

……

Before, the conversation between Li Ran and Purple Kilgrave in the antique shop seemed ordinary, but in fact, there was a huge danger behind it.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Ran had been using the [Wesley] card recently and hadn't replaced it, maybe he would have been controlled by the purple man's ability just now.

The skill of [Adrenal Acceleration] not only gave Li Ran extraordinary dynamic vision and nerve reflex speed, but also gave him the opportunity to fight against the terrible virus of the purple people.

The rapidly beating heart made it difficult for the purple people to control the virus and easily infect Li Ran.

However, having been exposed to the ability of the purple man, Li Ran could also feel that his heart, which had been rapid, showed a tendency to slow down, and his originally clear brain began to have vague fantasies.

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

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

Although, in addition to his ability to easily control others, Kilgrave himself has good combat effectiveness, however, he still prefers to use orders to let people do it themselves.

"It's just delaying the time it takes for my abilities to work."

Kilgrave could tell.

Li Ran, as a party concerned, was naturally more aware of his situation, as the speed of his heartbeat continued to slow down, he could feel his more and more blurred consciousness, as well as his gradually stiff and uncontrollable fingers, which was originally a simple handshake, but at this moment it became extremely difficult.

Perhaps, the next minute, or even the next second, he will lose control of his body. And from his previous words, it can be known that when Li Ran lost control, there may be no possibility of waking up.

Thinking of this, Li Ran immediately stopped hesitating, controlled his gradually stiff and jerky body, and suddenly pounced in the direction of the counter in front of him.
