After living an unremarkable life for over ten years, one night, Ji Minghuan suddenly awakened a superpower that allowed him to "create game characters in the real world." Moreover, each ch...
Chapter 137 Su Zimai: Brother Lao, please don’t die, Brother Lao (asking for monthly votes)
It was late at night, outside the window of a room on the second floor of an independent residential building in the Guyimai District.
A giant pigeon with strange eyes was flapping its wings and hovering in the air. The flickering neon light of the advertising sign shone on the snow-white giant pigeon. There was a dotted line at its tail connecting to the magic glove in the girl's hand.
Su Zimai stood on the pigeon's back and looked at Ji Minghuan who was sitting on the bed. "Brother, you don't even have this little courage, do you?"
Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking that he finally didn't have to pretend anymore.
He just put himself in the shoes of a minor supporting role in a novel written by Long Aotian, while his sister was the crooked-mouthed protagonist who had been patient for three years. Once she came out, she revealed her identity as the Dragon King in front of her family who looked down on her, which shocked the minor supporting role for a whole year.
Judging from Su Zimai’s expression, although her sister looked cold, she must be secretly happy in her heart.
Pretending to have recovered from his shock, Ji Minghuan stood up and walked to the window, took Su Zimai's hand, and climbed onto the giant pigeon created by magic tricks.
The dove flapped its white wings silently, carrying the two people into the dark sky.
The two of them sat down on the pigeon's back. Ji Minghuan lowered his eyes and looked down at the brightly lit city of Lijing. His hair was blown high by the night wind.
He turned his head to look at Su Zimai's profile. She looked absent-minded, and the tall hat on her head cast a shadow, covering her lowered eyes.
Ji Minghuan turned his eyes away from her face and asked loudly in the face of the strong wind:
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"Because it's very dangerous, I don't want you to know these things." Su Zimai said in a low voice.
"Then why are you suddenly telling me now?"
Su Zimai thought for a moment, then buried his head in his bent knees and spoke softly:
"I'm afraid that one day I will suddenly disappear, and then you won't know anything and won't be able to find me."
"That's a possibility. After all, we don't know you're an exorcist." Ji Minghuan asked nonchalantly, "If it's so dangerous, why do you continue to do it? You'll die... If you can't defeat those demons, you'll be swallowed up by them."
"Because if I become a big shot among the Exorcists, I'll have the chance to meet the people from Hongyi in the future, and then I'll be able to find out why my mother died." Su Zimai paused, "Dad and my brother won't quarrel all the time!"
Her last words seemed to be shouted loudly, but the wind over the city was too strong, and when they reached Ji Minghuan's ears, he only heard a very low voice.
He turned his head blankly and looked at the flashing billboard on the building. On it was a laptop endorsed by the alien Blue Arc. Blue Arc was standing next to the laptop with his shoulders folded, talking about the superior performance of the computer in a clear and logical manner.
As expected, you all have the same starting point. A family should all be stupid...
But sister, you are so naive. You must be at least Hu Lie's level to be qualified to cooperate with Hong Yi, right? For exorcists of other levels, it seems difficult to meet Hong Yi.
Ji Minghuan thought about it and asked verbally: "Then why didn't you tell your elder brother or father?"
"Once I find the Rainbow Wing man, I will tell them..." Su Zimai said, "So, I hope you can keep it a secret for me for now."
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret from them."
Haha, actually I have already said it, Ji Minghuan thought, and silently looked away.
"Why only me?" he asked.
Su Zimai turned her head away and didn't answer. She didn't know why, but when Hei Pu rescued her from the auction that day, she suddenly intuitively thought that it was Gu Wenyu. Although reason and a series of previous facts reminded her that this idea was wrong and unrealistic, she couldn't help but think so at that time.
Ji Minghuan thought for a while, "So it turns out that you were serious about what you said that day. I thought you were playing truth or dare. You actually suspected that I was Blue Arc?"
"My teacher made the decision on his own... No, Captain." She said angrily, "The Captain said that you might be a psychic, and that you came to Japan at such a coincidental time, so you might be Blue Arc. I was also shocked at the time."
"Ke Qirui, so she is also an exorcist?"
"Yeah. She's amazing."
"By the way, the one who lied to me was that damn black pupa."
"Black pupa?"
"He said something like 'your brother is Blue Arc', and I was fooled. The first time I was fooled by my captain, and the second time I was fooled by that big moth."
"That sounds really abominable, this black pupa, next time I will scold him with you."
"Don't... He's very dangerous. I still don't know whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. The leader told me to stay away from Black Pupa unless she's around. We don't understand what Black Pupa's purpose is. He's like a fly flying around, annoying us to death."
You're just praising your savior like this? Ji Minghuan was stunned, thinking that he should let the Queen's stone statue cut off the sword and put an end to this unfilial sister that day.
"Okay, then I won't scold the black pupa anymore," he said.
A huge white dove flew over the brightly lit commercial district, rose up along the glass curtain wall, and finally stopped on the rooftop of a high-rise building. Su Zimai got off the pigeon's back first, and lightly tapped his feet on the railing of the rooftop.
Like a magician, she stood firmly on the railing with her hands behind her back, then tilted her head proudly and looked at Ji Minghuan with a teasing look:
"Brother...you don't even need me to help you get off the pigeon's back, do you?"
"Do you think you're talking to yourself? You just mock me every day. Who are you looking down on?"
Ji Minghuan muttered to himself as he slowly stood up from the pigeon's back, then walked forward slowly. Then he deliberately slipped and fell with a loud scream, then he slid off the pigeon's back.
Su Zimai was stunned for a moment.
Ji Minghuan's figure fell straight down from a height of 100 meters, and his high-speed twisted figure was reflected on the glass curtain wall. The corners of his lips slightly raised, thinking in his heart: You like to piss me off, right? Watch me show you a 100-meter high fall.
“…No way?”
Su Zimai's pupils suddenly contracted, and she anxiously stepped on the railing and jumped up, then suddenly fell from mid-air. The magic gloves pulled the huge magic pigeon, and the pigeon folded its wings and dived down, landing below Su Zimai.
She rode on the pigeon's back, flipping down like a white meteor, and stretched out her hand hard, but couldn't touch Ji Minghuan's body. So she suddenly raised her magic glove and aimed her palm at Ji Minghuan's falling shadow.
Every line on the glove glowed with intense white light, and Su Zimai summoned a wardrobe in mid-air. The magic wardrobe appeared behind Ji Minghuan and fell with him.
At this moment, Ji Minghuan's body was about to fall onto the road. A truck was driving towards him at high speed, and its headlights tore through the night sky and illuminated his figure.
However, at this moment, the door of the magic wardrobe suddenly opened, swallowing Ji Minghuan whole.
A moment later, when Ji Minghuan opened his eyes again from the darkness, he pushed open the cabinet door, looked around curiously, and found that he had returned to the rooftop of the building. It was like he had opened a window called "sky" and the evening breeze blew in his face.
Su Zimai rode a giant pigeon and flew up from the road. She flew through the night sky at an extremely fast speed, and the glass curtain wall reflected the pigeon's blurred afterimage. After reaching the rooftop, she fell from the pigeon's back and rushed towards Ji Minghuan quickly with the evening breeze.
“Brother, are you okay?” She was pale and anxious, tears seemed to be about to fall. Her lips moved and every word that came out of her throat was trembling: “It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have joked. I should have helped you… It’s all my fault…”
As Su Zimai spoke, he took his arm with trembling hands and darted his eyes left and right to examine his body.
Ji Minghuan was stunned and thought to himself, sister, why are you reacting so strongly? I didn't even feel anything when I fell down. Swinging on a swing with a restraint belt is much more exciting than this.
He shook his head: "I'm fine, my hair is just a little messy."
"Are you... really okay?" Su Zimai looked up at his face and asked blankly.
"I'm fine. I'm just standing here, okay?" Ji Minghuan shrugged.
After a long while, after making sure that he was not injured, Su Zimai lowered his head and let out a long breath.
Her eyes were hidden by her drooping hair. She opened her mouth and breathed in small sips like a goldfish floating in the water, as if she was almost out of breath.
Su Zimai was silent for a long time, then slowly raised her head. Her face was still pale and her eyes were red.
"Just tell me if you can't do it! I will definitely help you. Why do you have to be so stubborn?" she said aggressively.
"Isn't it because you look down on me?!" Ji Minghuan was forced into a corner and met Su Zimai's gaze angrily.
My sister's eyes were full of resentment, tears rolled in her eye sockets, and her nose wrinkled slightly, like a small animal that suddenly went mad.
"I... I'm almost scared to death." Su Zimai murmured softly, and finally let go of his arm, her voice still trembling a little.
"I should be the one who is scared to death, not you who fell down." Ji Minghuan muttered.
"Are you going to piss me off to death?! Tell me, are you going to piss me off to death?"
"Okay, okay, I told you it's okay." Ji Minghuan raised his hand and touched the top of her head, thinking that a magical animal like your sister would usually be sarcastic and mocking to you, but as expected, she would return to her original form as long as she was bullied.
In fact, even if Su Zimai hadn't come to save him just now, he would have released the restraint belt incarnation in mid-air and let "Black Pupa" save him, so that Black Pupa could do Su Zimai a favor.
Su Zimai just stared at him motionlessly for a while, then suddenly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, turned around, walked angrily towards the rooftop railing, and sat on it.
She took off the magic hat on her head, lowered her head and led the giant pigeon. The pigeon quickly returned to its original shape, flapped its wings, and went back into the black hat.
After a moment, she slowly retracted the Sky Drive into her body, and the magic hat and gloves on her right hand disappeared.
She lowered her eyes and looked quietly at the night city.
Ji Minghuan walked over and sat beside her silently. The two of them looked at the brightly lit road from a hundred meters above. Vehicles were coming and going on the road like fireflies, forming streams of light. The evening breeze blew their silhouettes.
"Are you still angry?" He asked after a moment's silence.
"No."
“Obviously.”
"I'm just mad at myself. If you really fall... I won't live either."
“Are you an elementary school student?”
"High school student..." Su Zimai protested, with a hint of tears in his voice.
“Oh, then I’m an elementary school student.”
"Primary school students are not allowed to talk."
"I'm sorry, sister." Ji Minghuan clasped his hands together, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have made you angry."
Su Zimai's eyes twitched slightly, she held back for a moment, her cheeks puffed up slightly, and finally she couldn't help laughing. The last time she was in the park, Ji Minghuan also made her laugh like this.
After a moment she murmured, "Brother, how can you be so shameless, just like a real elementary school student, where is the airs of a high school boy?"
Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes at her and thought to himself, I am just an elementary school student. When you see my true form and find out that your 'brother' is actually only 12 years old, how surprised will you be?
Wait...by then she won't treat me, a restricted psychic, as her brother, right?
Then wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to be rated restricted?
Given Su Zimai's personality, he will definitely treat Kong Youling as his own sister. Wouldn't that mean we will become a family of five again? Okay, mom, your spirit in heaven can rest in peace. There are five people in this family again.
Of course...the premise is that Gu Zhuoan and Gu Qinye can still live to that time.
"Let's... go home." Su Zimai was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "It would be bad if Dad and my brother found out if we sneak out of the window like this."
"Then call out your pigeons."
"OK."
After Su Zimai finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned, as if he remembered something. He hurriedly took out his phone from the pocket of his hoodie and muttered, "Oh no... I forgot I had something to do tonight!"
"What's up?"
"My team leader said he would take me to dinner with some great people, and I'm already ten minutes late."
"Very powerful people?" Ji Minghuan said with interest, wondering if the people Ke Qirui was talking about were Hu Lie?
After all, from this auction incident we can tell that Ke Qirui and Zhou Jiuya know each other.
"Never mind, just go home first!"
"You don't want to leave me on the roof, do you? This is a 100-meter building. If I go down, I might be caught by the security guards as a suspicious person."
"Well, well, well... then you accompany me first." Su Zimai said with a frown, and hurriedly released a pigeon from his magic hat, making it huge.
"Okay." Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows, "But it's not good for a Muggle like me to be among you exorcists."
"Who said I let you in? You wait for me outside the restaurant, find someplace to play, or take a taxi back!"
"OK."
Ji Minghuan nodded expressionlessly, thinking to himself, it’s okay, I won’t accompany you for dinner, Hei Pu will be here soon, he really wants to meet the people from Hu Lie.
