Chapter 3 - Su Ran

In her previous life

Su Ran was a killer

when the little Su Ran got separated from her parents during an outing some local traffickers kidnapped the two year old her

and soon she was sold to the no.1 killer organisation-THE GHOST BLADE

That was the starting point of all her sufferings

That heinous killer organisation didn't care if she is old,young or a child they threw her together with

some other children into the battlefield-in a vast forest filled with different kinds of wild ferocious animals and reptiles and were told that they would come for them after 6 months and only five should survive no more than that otherwise they will kill all the remaining ones

Everyone thought that the last sentence was just to scare them so they threw that out of their mind and started living in a group

In the beginning it was fine but later people started killing each other for quarrels ,misunderstandings,mental depression,jealousy,grudges,betrayal and hatred

Because there is no police,no law,no court and nobody to teach them about humanity,morality and principles the children became lawless doing whatever they want

If they thought they want to kill the other,they'll do so without any hesitation

-there is only one rule in the forest that is the survival of the fittest

she who is just two years old and cannot speak properly was naturally the target of sympathy,so the group took great care of her at the beginning but later they couldn't even protect themselves ,their mentality changed and thought that the child was just a burden to them,so they abandoned her

But Su Ran's attitude towards the little Su Ran remained unchanged

That 7 year old girl was sweet,kind,generous and gentle to everyone,she looked like a pampered angle from a rich family because of her fair,smooth,blemish free skin and smooth,silky hair (later got ruined because of the environment)so everyone specially adored her

Her situation was kind of similar to the little Su Ran

As she saw her past in the little Su Ran

She got closer to her and after understanding her

She genuinely loved her and took great care of her

She fed her,bathed her,protected her and taught her everything she knew

She was like a mother to her so the first word the little Su Ran spoke to her was 'mama'

Su Ran did not spoiled her because she loved her She was very strict with her because she knew that the little Su Ran will be helpless if something were to happen to her one day so she taught her how to fend for her life

Thanks to her good upbringing soon the innocent child started speaking,learning,started to understand the world better and was very matured at a young age

The first time the child killed was a girl who spoke ill of Su Ran because of jealousy by sliding her throat with a knife

she wasn't a least bit nervous or scared after seeing the corpse covered in blood because she has been growing up watching these for the past 6 months

During this six month of living in constant danger made Su Ran and the little Su Ran from living in fear in the beginning to numb at the end and Su Ran also changed from that soft,kind hearted girl to a cold hearted and ruthless girl who can kill without any mercy

She watched the child kill without showing any intention to stop because she knew that she will have to do this a lot in the future

The three old little Su Ran at that time had the temperament of a seven year old child

She was a hardworking genius who can learn anything,anywhere as long she wants

But to this hardworking seven year old and genius three year old child ,fate was pretty ruthless to them

Last day before the completion of 6 months-

Only six were left from those twenty seven children

Many animals sneaked into their zone

They all fought together to kill them

One of the girl in their group was the best friend of the girl little Su Ran killed before

She suddenly remembered the words that the leader said before they were thrown into the forest,that

-Only five are supposed to survive otherwise the remaining ones will be killed

So the girl thought of getting rid of the little Su Ran to lessen the number to five and to avenge her best friend by the way

Taking advantage of the fact that they are distracted she decided to do a sneak attack on the little Su Ran

Su Ran noticed the girl and saw through her intention and before the girl's weapon could arrive the child

Su Ran hugged the child's back before she could even have the time to think

The child was startled ,she wanted to turn around on but the sound of cutting flesh rang into her ears

She looked back and saw her mother's dead corpse with its back facing her with blood flowing from the place the knife pierced through her neck

In a rage she killed the girl the other four tried to stop her she killed them along with the girl too

After killing all of them she went back to her mother and turned around her corpse and hugged her cold body

She didn't cry

She didn't scream

But her heart was already dead

Because she knew very well no matter what she did her mother won't come back

She muttered to the corpse gently in a childish mature voice,"from today onwards my name will be Su Ran,I will live in your stead and will always remember your sacrifice,mama"

After saying that a tear quietly slipped out from the corner of her eye and fell on the left cheek of the corpse

Little Su Ran's real name wasn't Su Ran

She didn't even know what her real name was

Su Ran didn't wanted to name her because she hoped that one day she can look for her real parents at least for the sake of knowing her real name,after all she knew her very well

Su Ran used to call the little Su Ran-

"Xiao Bao"
