Robert shook his head and said:

"No, I need to wait until this person wakes up before I can leave. You definitely need my help! Look, this person's bed is covered in blood, and his nightstand is filled with various medicine bottles. He must be seriously ill! It would probably be difficult for you to take care of him alone!"

After listening to the translation, although Jiang Ran's expression remained unchanged, his heart was growing roots and turning green inside...

After saying so much, it turns out you still don't plan to leave.

He didn't dare to force Robert to leave either, fearing that Robert, who currently posed no danger to him, might develop murderous intentions if pressured to depart.

However, Robert's words did remind him of something.

There were indeed too many medicine bottles on the nightstand.

He picked up several bottles to examine them.

There were anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicine, fever reducers.

And even more painkillers.

Of course, he also saw several empty medicine boxes and bottles that had been vacant for a long time.

The text on these long-empty medicine boxes and bottles wasn't commonly seen.

Jiang Ran read a few lines and was so frightened he immediately stopped reading.

For example: follow-up treatment for progressive stage XX cancer, and so on.

Just reading a few lines immediately made it clear this was cancer treatment medication.

And the presence of cancer treatment drugs in someone's home clearly indicated that someone in this household had cancer, and here only Wang Anjian lived alone.

Jiang Ran continued examining a blue painkiller bottle filled with pills.

Seeing this, he suddenly remembered - at the matchmaking event, he had seen Wang Anjian sprinkling these blue pills onto his ice cream while eating it.

He had thought they were some kind of candy at the time, because what normal person would imagine someone sprinkling painkillers on ice cream?

On Robert's side.

Looking around the bedroom, Robert didn't see anything particularly interesting.

Then he focused his attention on Jiang Ran and Wang Anjian.

Wang Anjian was still unconscious at the moment.

Nothing interesting to see there.

That left only Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran was currently side-facing him, continuously examining the large pile of medicine bottles and boxes on the nightstand.

Robert stared at Jiang Ran's side profile and back, his pupils emitting an extremely profound glow under the white light from the ceiling lamp.

He differed from typical Caucasian appearances - usually Caucasians have blond hair and blue eyes.

But he was a Caucasian with black hair and black pupils.

His cheeks were gaunt, and if paired with a fierce expression, he would look exactly like a devil.

Robert stared at Jiang Ran's side profile and back, his pupils emitting an extremely profound glow under the white light from the ceiling lamp.

His usual expression often included smiles.

This was why, back when he was captured, people who had known him before couldn't believe it.

Because their impression of Robert had been excellent.

But strangely, he wasn't the type with a fierce appearance.

Never would they have imagined he would be that notorious serial killer...

And many serial killers were like Robert.

They didn't have that kind of appearance that looked immediately vicious and terrifying.

Many had ordinary faces, and some were even quite handsome.

Hence the old saying: you can't judge a book by its cover.

And another saying: you may know a person's face but not their heart.

They didn't have the kind of appearance that looked extremely fierce and terrifying at first glance.

But now, with such a perfect opportunity right before him, why not just kill him now?

His left hand continuously rubbed his neck.

Forget it, might as well kill him now. It had been so many days since his last kill, he was almost forgetting that feeling.

At that moment, Jiang Ran discovered something truly alarming - there were three drawers under the nightstand, and all three were also filled with various medications.

Most were empty packages of already consumed drugs, different types of painkillers.

Seeing this, his mouth kept twitching because it reminded him of the medication he took for his dissociative identity disorder.

Thus, he felt deep empathy for Wang Anjian's experience.

He turned to look at Wang Anjian, just as Wang Anjian's black hair entered his field of vision.

In the silent environment, the Danger Warning System in Jiang Ran's mind suddenly appeared like a ghost jumping out in a horror movie, startling him:

[Ding! Detection that host is about to encounter danger! Points +15! Points +15! Points...]

Finally, Jiang Ran heard the alert he never wanted to hear.

Especially since this one was particularly terrifying.

Jiang Ran had always believed the maximum points would be +10, but who would have thought it could break through directly to +15?

Did this mean Robert's danger level was also the highest he had encountered?

Jiang Ran immediately stood up abruptly, turning around to prepare for the possible incoming crisis.

His reaction speed was quick, especially with the system's warning giving him absolute initiative.

But Robert's reaction was even faster. Already relatively close to Jiang Ran, he took a swift step directly to Jiang Ran's back, then wrapped his right arm around Jiang Ran's neck, coordinating with his left arm to form a chokehold.

Many deranged serial killers have their unique killing methods, which serve as evidence for police to determine if multiple cases were committed by the same person.

As mentioned before, Robert's fixed patterns were only operating late at night and leaving a blood-drawn skull at crime scenes.

And sometimes he intentionally didn't leave the blood-drawn skull.

This was to confuse the police, as he was being pursued by Maple Country's police at the time.

If he kept leaving such obvious crime characteristics, it would be equivalent to telling the police where he was.

That's why he was so difficult to catch back then.

After all, his only truly fixed crime characteristic was strictly speaking late-night operations.

His killing methods: shooting, blunt force, stabbing, throat-slitting, etc. - basically random, various methods.

Now targeting Jiang Ran, he directly employed strangulation.

Many deranged serial killers have their unique killing methods, which serve as evidence for police to determine if multiple cases were committed by the same person.

After the clown incident, Jiang Ran had actually been carrying a fruit knife in a soft leather sheath at his waist.

But now the awkward situation was that if he released his right hand from tugging against Robert's right arm

This was to confuse the police, as he was being pursued by Maple Country's police at the time.

If he kept leaving such obvious crime characteristics, it would be equivalent to telling the police where he was.

He only felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, his face turning crimson red.

His hands couldn't pull Robert's right arm away at all;

even digging his fingernails deeply into the skin of Robert's right arm was useless.

The guy's arms were like iron implements.

Soon, Jiang Ran lost consciousness. In the last second before losing consciousness, he saw Wang Anjian getting up from the bed.

Wang Anjian gradually woke up while lying in bed.

Robert appeared tall and slender overall, making it impossible to imagine his astonishing strength.

After waking up, his eyes couldn't handle the light well, so he turned his head and squinted toward the left side.

But now the awkward situation was that if he released his right hand from tugging against Robert's right arm

He was so frightened he immediately became fully alert.

After becoming alert, he realized Jiang Ran was being strangled by a unfamiliar white man, his face redder than a red apple, clearly about to suffocate.
