Chapter 173 The meeting between Black Pupa and the leader of the brigade (asking for monthly tickets)

After leaving the palace and returning to the floating castle, Xizel stopped in the courtyard where leaves were falling.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and made a request to Li Qingping: "Li Qingping, although we don't have much time left, I still want to ask you to teach me how to practice the power of strange news."

Li Qingping remained silent. He wanted to say that he couldn't learn anything in such a short time, so he might as well conserve his energy.

But then he thought that the Third Prince's talent was incomparable to that of ordinary people, and he might really be able to undergo a drastic change in just a few days. So he accepted Xizel's request, and the two began one-on-one training.

A gust of wind blew across the blood-red sky, maple leaves rustled, large schools of fish floated by in the air, and a white-haired boy stood among the falling leaves, holding a catalog of strange stories in his hand, and released the most basic and universal strange stories with a focused look.

Li Qingping was giving instructions from the side. He told Xizel that each piece of strange news fragment had its own unique mechanism. As long as he used the characteristics of the fragment flexibly, he could get feedback called "the power of strange news" from the fragment.

After accumulating enough "power of strange stories" in the body, one will be able to upgrade one's own class, thereby resonating with more high-level strange stories and binding contracts.

Xizel's top priority is to advance from a D-level Curiosity User to a C-level Curiosity User.

In this way, the high-level wonders he can bind are not just a "Christmas Sleigh". Li Qingping can provide him with some high-level wonders for self-defense.

Yagubaru narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, Shark, my cultivation relies entirely on eating, it's not as hard as you bunch of gluttons, it's so boring!

It yawned, and lay in the crystal ball, quietly watching them practice. After a while, it felt sleepy, and its eyelids were about to close, so it had to shift its focus and quickly synchronize its consciousness with the No. 1 body.

It's no secret that when you're bored, beating the fridge demon is more refreshing than a hundred cups of coffee.

Even the shark nobles are aware of this common sense, let alone the legendary bandaged man Black Pupa.

Since the time in the whale's box is almost the same as that in Lijing, it is now 7:30 in the morning in Lijing.

Unit No. 1 Gu Wenyu stood up from the bed in the bedroom, scratched his messy hair in a daze, reached out to touch the mobile phone beside the pillow and took a look.

[Su Zimai: I bought breakfast, it's downstairs, remember to come down and eat when you wake up.]

While Gu Wenyu was getting dressed, he let the restraints help him type and send messages.

【Gu Wenyu: Are you so kind? Is this really my sister? Why do I feel like this is a lot like the plot of "knowing that I'm going to die tomorrow, so I decide to leave a good impression for my family"? 】

【Gu Wenyu: Sister, you are not really going to die, are you? 】

【Gu Wenyu: Anyway, please don’t die on my phone, okay? Press 1 after receiving it. 】

[Su Zimai: What the hell? You got up early to buy you breakfast, but you cursed me, right? Are you a human?]

[Gu Wenyu: What were you and your brother talking about mysteriously last night? Why did your brother know about the exorcist?]

Su Zimai was silent for a long time before sending him a message.

[Su Zimai: He happened to know some people from the Exorcist Association, and then I was caught.]

【Gu Wenyu: That's really a coincidence.】

【Su Zimai: (Panda giving the middle finger emoticon) Blocked, goodbye. 】

【Tip: You have been blacklisted by "Su Zimai". 】

Gu Wenyu put away his phone, put on his clothes with the restraints, then left the room, walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and held the restraints against the wet floor.

The senses penetrate the floor tiles, enter the living room on the first floor, and observe the two people in the kitchen from a God-like bird's-eye view.

Su Zimai drank sesame soy milk with a straw, and then said seriously: "By the way, brother... since my second brother and dad are both Muggles, remember to keep our affairs secret from them, otherwise they will worry about us."

She paused, "Besides, it's better not to let them get involved in our affairs."

She thought to herself: If I tell Gu Wenyu that Big Brother is Lan Hu, he will definitely run to Big Brother and report her for saying bad things about Lan Hu behind his back every day, so it is better to keep it from him for the time being.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking how nice it would be if Gu Wenyu also had a hidden identity, so that she would have something to hold against him!

Gu Qiye was silent.

Indeed, he and Xiaomai both knew that Wenyu was an ordinary person, but there was one thing Su Zimai didn't know, that was... their father was very likely to be hiding some secrets.

After all, this information was told to him by Hei Pu himself when they first met. Although Hei Pu usually liked to play tricks on them, objectively speaking, up to now, Hei Pu had never fooled them even once. Every piece of information he gave was meaningful and rarely wrong.

After some thought, Gu Qiye finally decided to investigate the matter secretly by himself, because if he told Su Zimai, she might alert the enemy and let his father know about it in advance.

After all... With my sister's mediocre skills, if dad was really a big shot, he would have discovered her in a second.

Gu Qiye thought about this and said softly, "Yes, it's better not to let Wen Yu and Dad know about our affairs."

The brother and sister reached a consensus, looked at each other and nodded.

Gu Qiye thought for a moment and said, "You are leaving for London tomorrow morning, right?"

"Um."

Gu Qiye hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and asked softly: "Do you need me to follow you? I can ask for a day off from the Association of the Differentiators."

"No need... Brother, you stay here to protect the city. I'm not alone. The other members of the Ghost Train Group will take care of me, not to mention..."

"Not to mention what?"

Su Zimai took a deep breath and said, "The leader said that the big moth will also go to London with us this time."

"Black pupa..."

Gu Qiye murmured as if he was used to it and took a bite of the glutinous rice bun.

To be honest, he felt a lot more at ease when he heard that Hei Pu would go with his sister. He didn't know why, but maybe during this period of time he began to trust this unknown character.

After a long silence, he raised the corner of his mouth: "Well, be careful and I won't interfere with your affairs."

"Hmm..." Su Zimai finished the glutinous rice and chicken in the bowl, then drank the black sesame seeds. Then he suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had thought of something, and squeezed the plastic cup hard, letting out an angry and annoyed "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinye was stunned and turned to look at her.

Su Zimai frowned and said slowly, "I suddenly remembered... When the captain and I met Hei Pupa in Tokyo before, he said something to me."

"What?"

"He said to me at that time: 'Lan Hu is your brother.'" Su Zimai spoke each word with gritted teeth.

Gu Qiye didn't take it seriously and just took a bite of a steamed bun. "So he betrayed me in front of you a long time ago?"

"No, at that time I thought he was talking about my second brother, and I was fooled by him the whole time. Now I think about it and realize that this damn big moth was talking about you."

Su Zimai held his forehead and sighed.

"Okay, it's all over." Gu Qiye smiled silently, "Hei Pupa is really mean, and he played me around at the beginning."

"And now?"

"Uh..." Gu Qiye was choked and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Finally, he sighed, "It's the same now. I still don't know who he is."

It's still a bit embarrassing to say it. He is a quasi-disaster-level mutant, but he is being led by a big moth.

However, although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit: if there had been no black pupa, many things that had happened so far would have developed into a worse situation.

"I knew it..."

Su Zimai muttered to himself, his expression slightly stern, "Brother, let's work together to find out the details of this damn thing."

"Well, come on, Xiaomai." Gu Qiye shrugged, "The task of beating up Hei Pupa is now left to you. Although I also want to beat him up, I'd better let my sister take priority."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The brother and sister had never reached such a consistent idea on one thing. At this moment, their hearts seemed to be connected together, while Gu Wenyu upstairs was hugging his knees, drawing circles on the floor of the bathroom alone.

He thought: What on earth has Black Pupa done to you? If you don't like the diapers I gave you, you can return them. How abominable...

"Then I have to go out today," Su Zimai said softly, "Brother, you better be careful."

Her tone was still a little awkward and nonchalant, as if she was still not used to the fact that her brother was actually Blue Arc.

"I will."

Gu Qinye was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and touched her head.

He found it quite novel. It had been many years since he had been fighting alone without telling his family. It was really nice to have someone care about him like this before he went out, he thought.

Gu Wenyu sighed, retracted the restraints, no longer cared about the brother and sister, but looked up at the pale face in the mirror.

He thought to himself: "Well... I should go and discuss important matters with the brigade commander today. Come on, Comrade Hei Pupa... Whether Xizel and Li Qingping can escape successfully depends on whether you can convince the commander."

Thinking of this, he put down his toothbrush, spit out the mouthwash he had just drunk, wiped his face with a towel and went out.

Hei Pupa spent the day doing nothing again, except going to the bookstore to read and chat with the boss, and flirting with Tunyin on the street. Nothing memorable happened from day to dusk.

Time quietly passed until night, Lijing No. 3 Middle School.

The night was like a curtain covering this lonely middle school. At this moment, on the rooftop of a teaching building, Hei Pupa was sitting quietly on top of the railing, sketching a bizarre picture with a drawing board and pencil he got from somewhere.

Soon, a crow with scarlet eyes spread its wings and flew over, slowly landing on the railing of the rooftop. Then a man in a black windbreaker appeared in Hei Pupa's sight. The strong wind from the sky above the city lifted up the hem of his clothes.

Qi Yuanshi sat on the railing with his back hunched over in silence.

Hei Pupa looked up at him from the drawing board, but ignored him and continued painting.

Seeing that Hei Pupa remained silent, Qi Yuanli cooperated very well and produced a playing card from his fingertips. He turned his head and looked at the brightly lit city with his deep eyes.

"So...what do you want to talk to me about?" After a while, he asked casually while playing with a poker card in his hand.

At this moment, Hei Pupa had stopped what he was doing, he had already drawn what he wanted to draw. He casually threw the pencil towards the city, lowered his eyes and watched the pencil body twirl and fall, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Then he slowly said: "First of all, it is an honor to meet you alone, Mr. Urushihara... Of course, it is more appropriate to call you the leader."

Qi Yuanli did not respond, as if he thought it didn't matter which name he used.

"Then, I must state that the information I am about to provide you is very, very important." Black Pupa paused and said quietly, "I believe you will be interested in it."

As he spoke, he slowly turned over the drawing board in his hand and turned it towards the paint surface.

Qi Yuanli turned his head slowly.

Looking up, I saw a painting of a ochre-red whale as huge as a battleship on the drawing board.

The whale was surging on the sea, roaring to the sky, and raising thousands of snow-white waves. Directly above the whale was a gloomy sky.

Cumulonimbus clouds were floating in from afar, and a dark blue shark big enough to cover the sky was crashing down from the sky, opening its huge mouth like the abyss towards the red whale!
