Chapter 211 Four-person Family Quick Fight (asking for monthly ticket)

In the cramped basement, besides the buzzing of the exhaust fan, the only sound was the dripping of water. When Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes in bed, the time on the wall was exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, and the hour hand was stuck there motionlessly.

Today is July 28th.

There are only four days left before the legendary whale arrives in Bergen, Norway.

The time in Lijing is seven hours ahead of that in London. It is already nine o'clock in the evening there.

Comrade Black Pupa has done nothing the whole day today, and he will still be doing nothing in the next few days unless Makuto plans to take action against Blue Arc.

After all, the only way for Unit 1 to get close to Bergen, Norway without being suspected by its family is to rely on Ke Qirui's ghost train to make a quick round trip within a day.

But the last trip to London had already aroused the suspicion of his elder brother and sister, so another trip would be too conspicuous. Su Zimai only needed to check the information with Ke Qirui to know that her brother was closely related to the black pupa.

Although the diaper demon probably does not possess human intelligence, if it were to suddenly awaken human intelligence, it would be an irreparable disaster for the giant moth.

Obviously, revealing one's identity at this point in time is not a wise move - if one's family knows one's identity, subsequent actions will be restricted in every way.

Moreover, ever since the red light incident, the Salvation Society has been observing the White Crow Brigade recently. So, to be on the safe side, Ji Minghuan plans to let Black Pupa stay on standby and not participate in this box garden operation.

As for the main mission that requires Unit 1 to reach a cooperative relationship with "Li Qingping", it can only be discussed after Li Qingping and Xizel escape from the whale box together.

While he was lost in thought, he heard the sound of "dong, dong", and the rhythm was as gentle as a monk beating a wooden fish.

There was no doubt that it was Ayase Origami who was knocking on the door. Only she could knock with such a Buddha-like sound, as if even through the wooden door, one could imagine her clumsy knocking movements through the sound.

"What's wrong?" Xia Pingzhou asked while putting on his clothes.

"By plane."

“Here I come.”

As Xia Pingzhou spoke, he put on his coat, got up from the bed, put on his shoes, walked to the door and opened it, then looked up at the girl outside the door, but she was not the girl in kimono.

Ayase Origami unexpectedly changed into a plain white cloth dress today, and wore a white lace hat on her head. She raised her eyes from under the brim of the hat and silently looked at Xia Pingzhou's phone.

Seeing that the cat doll on his cell phone chain was still hanging safely, she looked away.

Xia Pingzhou glanced at his phone and confirmed, "Did the hacker arrange for us to go to Heathrow Airport?"

"Yes, the flight is at four o'clock, and it will arrive in Norway at half past six..." Ayase Origami said, "The Alps."

"It's Bergen, not the Alps." Xia Pingzhou corrected himself as he put away his phone, then asked, "Is the Ripper in the same cabin with us?"

"She asked to sit in a different cabin from us."

"That's great." Xia Pingzhou shrugged. "Otherwise she'll be like ADHD and kick our seats at every turn."

"Leave."

“Have you ever been to Norway?”

"No."

"That's true... A brigade is meant to travel around the world, otherwise why would it be called a brigade?"

"So does the promise we made about traveling around the world together still count?" Ayase Origami suddenly asked.

"Nowadays, I need to travel for work, which is called 'business trip' for short. Later, it will be traveling during holidays. The mood is different and the definition is also different." Xia Pingzhou said seriously.

Soon, the two left the underground corridor and hailed a taxi on the streets of London. They took one last look at the church spire through the car window, and then drove away to the sound of Big Ben.

When they arrived at Heathrow International Airport, the two went through the formalities and boarded the first-class cabin unimpeded with the help of hackers, and then sat down in adjacent seats.

Yan Molin took the initiative to ask to sit in the first-class cabin next door, even though there were other passengers in her cabin.

Xia Pingzhou was very worried about the safety of other passengers. If the Ripper was unhappy with him, he could only kick the seat; but if he was unhappy with other passengers, by the time they got off the plane, there might only be a pile of scattered organs and human skin left in the cabin.

Looking around, the first-class cabin was still as empty as ever, like an isolated paradise.

Every time this happened, Xia Pingzhou would sigh at the convenience of owning a electronic pet, so he would open his phone and send a message.

【Xia Pingzhou: I love you. 】

[Hacker: Do not disturb me during the game (automatic reply)]

[Hacker: Are you sick? I don't want to be hunted by the young lady.]

"Have the other members of the group arrived in Bergen?" Xia Pingzhou put down his phone and asked the girl in the white dress next to him.

"Most people have arrived." Ayase Origami said, and then stared out the window in a daze.

"Then let's catch up on some sleep on the plane. I can feel that we are in Norway and the other members of the group won't let us go. I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight."

"good."

Ayase Origami nodded, leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Xia Pingzhou also yawned, tilted his head, and fell asleep leaning against the side of her head.

Consciousness gradually switches to Unit No. 1.

It was eight o'clock in the evening of July 28th, local time. Gu Wenyu opened his eyes, stood up from the toilet lid, washed his hands, walked out of the bathroom, and entered the wooden corridor on the second floor of his home.

He leaned against the railing at the stairwell, playing with his phone while his restraints dangled in the air as he eavesdropped on the conversation coming from downstairs.

Gu Qiye was stunned: "I have to leave home for a while again?"

"Yes." Su Zimai nodded.

"Missions?" Gu Qiye thought for a moment, "The Exorcist Association's missions are a bit... too frequent recently?"

He raised his eyes and looked into Su Zimai's eyes seriously, as if trying to see something.

"It's okay, I can handle it." Su Zimai avoided his gaze.

Gu Qiye was silent for a moment: "I may not be qualified to say anything, but don't force yourself. I used to fight alone because I had no choice, but you are different, I am here with you."

"Okay." Su Zimai hesitated, "Brother, please be careful during this time."

"Yeah, you too."

Su Zimai lowered his head, stood up from the chair absentmindedly, and went upstairs.

"Leaving again?" Gu Wenyu leaned on the fence on the second floor, playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

"right."

"You can't hide your feelings at all, they're all over your face... What happened? Do you want to tell me?"

"I can't say."

Su Zimai lowered her head, her face a little gloomy. She could still hold back from telling Gu Qiye about the Salvation Society and Lin Zhengquan, but when it came to Gu Wenyu, she couldn't help herself.

Gu Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his sister still had some brains. Since Su Zimai didn't even want to tell him about the "Salvation Society", he probably wouldn't mention it to anyone else in the future.

After a long silence, Su Zimai whispered, "My friend is injured, I'm so worried about him... I have to stay by his side, so I can't come back for a while, that's all."

"Okay, come on."

Gu Wenyu said as he lowered his head to look at his phone, raised his hand and touched the top of Su Zimai's head, then while she was still in a daze, ruffled her hair, walked into the room and closed the door.

He leaned against the door, opened his address book, and sent a message to Ke Qirui.

【Gu Wenyu: Take good care of my sister, Lesbian Train Man. 】

[Ke Qirui: This name is really offensive... And why did you send the same message as your brother? Did you discuss it beforehand? ]

【Gu Wenyu: Do you have my brother's contact information? 】

[Ke Qirui: I added him two days ago. Xiaomai gave me his contact information so that I can report to him that he is safe and send him photos of his daily life every day.]

【Gu Wenyu: You can also send me a few photos, preferably those ugly photos taken candidly. 】

[Ke Qirui: What a cunning brother! I don't want to be scolded by Xiaomai.]

【Gu Wenyu: So what happened to you guys? Did you run into any trouble?】

[Ke Qirui: It’s not convenient to say, maybe next time.]

He lay back on the bed, picked up the remote control and watched TV for a while, switching channels aimlessly.

The host said: "Today, the aliens 'Blue Arc' and 'Makutaki' have solved an underground organization's transaction. With the arrival of this outstanding new alien, the public security in Lijing..."

"I'm really curious. What would brother think if he knew that he accidentally killed Mu Long's dad..." Gu Wenyu thought to himself as he watched the friendly Lan Arc and the taciturn Mu Long on TV.

"Don't get discouraged. Dad is totally unreliable. I can only enter Rainbow Wing through you and catch the tail of the Salvation Society." Just as he was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Gu Qiye's voice came from outside the door: "Are you there? Wenyu."

Gu Wenyu was stunned, rolled off the bed, opened the door, and saw Gu Qiye standing outside the door with his shoulders folded.

He asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

"Will you play a new game with me?" Gu Qiye smiled. "I bought a disc of "Alien Alliance", the IP that everyone is talking about online. It just so happens that the PS5 at home has not been used for a long time."

As he spoke, he showed a game disc in his hand. On the disc were pictures of iconic aliens from Japan, the United States, China and other countries, with Blue Arc standing in the center.

In order to commemorate the Japanese alien "Sakura Takeshi" who died in the auction incident, the producers also added her to this fighting game and created a selectable character.

With the support of so many popular aliens, the game "Alien Alliance" has been extremely popular even before its release and has been pushed on all platforms.

Gu Wenyu nodded: "Sure, but is there a 'Black Pupa' in this game? I want to play the Black Pupa."

"No, it's called the Alliance of the Aliens, and the game characters are adapted from real aliens." Gu Qiye said, "But you can play Blue Arc, Blue Arc is a popular character."

"Then I'd better choose something else. Blue Arc really won't work."

"Uh... okay then."

Gu Wenyu shrugged: "My sister won't leave until tomorrow morning. I'll go get her over." As he said that, he slammed Su Zimai's door. After she opened the door, he and Gu Qinye dragged her downstairs on both sides.

The three of them sat in the living room, connected the PS5 console to the TV, and then distributed the controllers.

The character controlled by Gu Wenyu is "Tunyin", the character controlled by Su Zimai is "Yingwu", and the character controlled by Gu Qiye is the hidden character "Yujin", who was once the strongest psychic in France, but was killed in a sneak attack by the White Crow Brigade. As an easter egg, the producers added "Yujin" as a hidden character into the game, and he must be unlocked by a series of hidden commands.

The hidden command used by Gu Qinye was sent to him by the game developer in an email.

Not long after, Gu Zhuoan also returned home. He put his shoes in the shoe cabinet, held a cigarette in his mouth, and silently watched the three people sitting on the sofa playing video games, just like they did when they were children.

He suddenly looked out the window with some nostalgia. At that time, Su Ying was still there. She was cooking in the kitchen, he was sitting in the living room smoking and reading the newspaper, and the children were sitting cross-legged on the floor playing games.

When Su Zimai was a child, he often quarreled with Gu Wenyu, and the two would often quarrel over games.

Gu Qinye sat in the middle to mediate, pressing Su Zimai's forehead with one hand and the back of Gu Wenyu's head with the other, for fear that they would start fighting like two little bulls or smash the game controllers in their hands.

"Slash the Ten Thousand Floating Cherry Blossoms!" The exaggerated prompt sound came out, bringing Gu Zhuoan's thoughts back to reality.

Looking up at the TV screen, I saw Su Zimai's "Sakura Wu" unleashing the ultimate killer move, a scattering of cherry blossoms, magnificent yet containing infinite murderous intent. Countless sword lights overlapped, knocking "Yu Jin" and "Tun Yin" on the screen to their knees.

The health of both players was reduced to zero at the same time, and then the big words "Game Over" popped up.

“Isn’t it awesome? I beat you guys the first time we played.” Su Zimai snorted and raised the corners of his mouth.

Gu Wenyu ignored her and just pointed at the kneeling Tunyin on the screen, holding his belly and laughing: "Oh my god, the defeated posture of this Tunyin rat is too realistic!"

Gu Qinye looked at the two of them with a smile.

Su Zimai noticed Gu Zhuoan behind him out of the corner of his eye, stood up from the sofa, and pulled him over to sit down.

"Dad, come and play too! This game can accommodate up to four people fighting. And I happen to be rich, so I bought a few more controllers." Su Zimai said as he stuffed a controller into Gu Zhuoan's hand.

Gu Zhuoan put out his cigarette, put it in the empty ashtray, and then took the controller woodenly: "I don't know how to play."

"It's okay. No one knows how to play this new game." Gu Wenyu said, "Su Zimai, this pig, was able to beat us up. That's enough to show that there's something wrong."

"What do you mean?"

Finally, Gu Qiye and Su Zimai were grouped together, while Gu Wenyu and Gu Zhuoan were grouped together, and they entered the character selection screen.

This time, Gu Qiye chose the iconic American alien "Captain Condor", an alien with the ability to spread a pair of giant wings and shoot out bullet-like feathers. He is a popular alien in the United States.

Su Zimai continued to choose "Yingwu", as if he still felt guilty for watching her die at the hands of the White Crow Brigade at the auction.

While Gu Wenyu was muttering that he was a "true fan of Tunyin forever", he chose Tunyin again. He even ran back to his room to change into a "Tunyin fan T-shirt" before sitting back on the sofa, saying that this would increase his fighting power.

Gu Zhuoan stared at the screen motionlessly, pondered for a long time, and finally chose "Blue Arc".

Gu Qinye was slightly stunned, turned his head to glance at his father's profile, and then silently withdrew his gaze.

"Die, Blue Electric Rat!" After entering the game, Su Zimai controlled "Yingwu" to chase after Gu Zhuoan's "Blue Arc".

Then he quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing inadvertently, and quickly covered his mouth and looked at his older brother beside him. Fortunately, Gu Qinye was concentrating on playing the game and did not hear his derogatory name.

Before she could react, the Tunyin on the screen had already bitten the metal in his hand into pieces, creating a metal cage to crush her Yingwu into a bloody mist, and then he put his hands on his hips and laughed up to the sky.

When Gu Wenyu saw this scene, he pointed at the silver swallowing on the screen and laughed so hard that he almost convulsed. As a result, he was ambushed by Gu Qinye's "Captain of the Divine Eagle" and died on the spot under thousands of feathers.

In the end, only Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan were left on the screen to duel.

"Captain Condor" was flying in the air, hugging his shoulders and looking down at the blue arc on the ground.

"Blue Arc" twitched left and right, jumping up and down on the spot, as stiff as a broken robot, in sharp contrast to the majestic "Captain Condor" in the sky.

Finally, with Gu Wenyu complaining, "Dad, are you any good at this? Both the human and the computer can play better than you," the "Blue Arc" of the Gu Zhuo case ended in a miserable defeat.

Su Zimai and Gu Qiye clapped their hands and turned to look at the two of them proudly.

Gu Zhuoan looked down at the handle and groaned, "It's a bit difficult."

Gu Wenyu used the controller to select characters while calming his teammates: "It's okay. Next time I'll give suggestions to the designers and ask them to add your favorite tough guy Ghost Zhong to the game. Ghost Zhong is a character with weird stats and he can't be weak."

Gu Zhuoan nodded and once again selected "Blue Arc" with the controller.

Su Zimai sneered, "Haha, games nowadays focus on political correctness, how could there be a criminal character?"

"It's possible to make him the villain in the main storyline." Gu Qinye smiled slightly.

"If you happen again, I won't believe it." Gu Wenyu pulled at the silver-swallowing fan T-shirt, full of fighting spirit.

In the end, tonight's fighting game ended with Su Zimai's great victory. Gu Wenyu complained, "It's so boring. My Silver Swallowing Rat is designed to be so weak. It's a crappy game." He walked back to the room by himself, completely ignoring the mocking voice of Su Zimai behind him.

After he closed the door, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

The plane that Xia Pingzhou was on had already landed, and the people from the White Crow Brigade had been waiting in Bergen, Norway for a long time.
