Chapter 244: Rage, Moths to Flames, People Seeking Death (asking for monthly tickets)
On the morning of August 4, the black pupa flew over Lijing. Its transparent body was bathed in sunlight, with only some colorless outlines visible.
He flew forward in a twirl while typing on his cell phone.
[Black Pupa: Actually, I am more curious, why did the Salvation Society target Lin Zhengquan alone? Since they wanted to kill Lin Zhengquan, why didn't they kill you as well? ]
[Ke Qirui: When we went to his house, we found that his computer was damaged and some printed files on the printer disappeared. It is possible that he checked some things that he should not have checked without telling us.]
[Black Pupa: Is it a red street light? ]
[Ke Qirui: Maybe. The only clue he knew about the Salvation Society was the "Red Street Light". He must have found something...]
Hei Pu narrowed his eyes, and now he finally understood: Lin Zhengquan might have secretly found evidence of Hong Lu Deng's meeting with the mentor without telling anyone else, so he was targeted by the mentor.
In fact, the Salvation Society had already warned Lin Zhengquan once, but he still did not give up those clues after returning from the hospital.
Hei Pupa thought that Brother Zheng Quan was too upright. He should want to clear the name of Red Road Light and expose the evidence that Red Road Light was manipulated by the Salvation Society, right?
A sudden cool breeze blew over the city, making him shiver slightly. He put away his phone, and the restraints flew out like ink, driving his light body forward.
Soon, they arrived at the meeting place agreed with Makutaki.
It was a dark corridor. Mutaki, wearing a gray cloak and a medieval knight's helmet, stood motionless in the darkness.
He closed his eyes, leaned against the wall and said nothing. After a while, he finally waited for the black pupa to arrive.
"I hope you are well, Mr. Makutaki, even though we have only been apart for one day."
Black Pupa was hanging upside down below the ceiling, flipping through Hugo's "Les Miserables" and greeting him.
"How did my brother die?" Mu Taki asked.
He saw today's news, a bloody head was hung above a street lamp, and passers-by took pictures of the scene with a camera and called the police.
"He was attacked by an unknown psychic." Hei Pupa said, "He died miserably. It seems that only his head was left."
"Where are the people from the train group? Where did they go?"
"They escaped." Hei Pu said, "They are also victims. If they don't leave, they will probably end up like Lin Zhengquan. You don't need to vent your anger on them... I'm sure they are not feeling well right now."
"Who... killed my brother?"
Makutaki's voice remained calm, without any anger in it, but it was trembling slightly.
"Have you heard of the name 'Salvation Society'?" Hei Pu said, "Your brother was accidentally involved in a series of events related to the 'Salvation Society', and that's why he was targeted by those people."
"The Salvation Society?"
"That's right." Black Pupa said deeply, "That is an extremely dangerous organization, even more dangerous than Rainbow Wing. With your current strength, if you fight alone, you will not be able to compete with them at all."
"Tell me where they are."
"Are you going to die? It's not a smart thing to fly into a flame."
"tell me!"
Mu Taki finally couldn't suppress his anger anymore and suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming with a frightening cold light.
"I won't tell you. Even if you stab me to death now, it won't help." Hei Pu shook his head. "Your brother won't want to see you die for him."
"What's the point of me living? My whole family is dead... all dead!"
"Be patient and wait for the right time, just like the efforts you made to get close to Blue Arc." Black Pupa paused, "Shouldn't you have similar experience?"
With a clear buzzing sound, Mu Taki suddenly drew his sword, walked towards Hei Pupa step by step, and raised the tip of the sword to his neck.
"If you kill me, there will be no one else on earth who can help you get revenge. If you think that harming innocent people can vent your anger, you can try it..."
The black pupa raised his eyes and met Makutaki's gaze while hanging upside down.
"Mu Taki, calm down, we need him." Gui Zhong walked out of the darkness and reminded in a low voice.
The two remained in a stalemate for a few seconds.
"My brother's death has something to do with you?" Mu Taki broke the silence.
"I can't say."
"Did you deliberately lead him to the 'Salvation Society'? Was his death also something you expected?"
"I have warned them a long time ago, but they didn't listen. If necessary, you can contact Mr. Zhengquan's friends and ask them about the specific situation at that time."
Makutaki was silent.
"Your brother had a chance to escape and get out. The Salvation Society had warned him once and let him go." Hei Pupa said, "But for his own sense of justice, Lin Zhengquan chose to fight against the Salvation Society. He wanted to expose the truth about the 'Red Light', but this is undoubtedly like a moth flying into a flame."
He paused and said, "He was too weak and too determined, so he died."
"What should I do?" After a moment's silence, Mu Taki asked.
"I will help you find an opportunity for revenge, but now... I need you to continue to be patient." Black Pupa said slowly, "If you act impulsively, everything will be over. This is not an easy battle. The opponent is stronger than the Blue Arc you dream of killing."
After hearing the end, Gui Zhong sighed deeply and remained silent. He really didn't understand why this black thing couldn't just talk properly, but had to mock even a passerby like him. It was hard not to get angry.
"Who are the Salvation Society?"
Makutaki asked hoarsely.
"They are a group of lunatics who claim to be saviors, but actually do crazy things." Black Pupa whispered, "And, I can tell you clearly: one of the Saviors is hiding in Hongyi."
"Rainbow Wing?"
The ghost bell murmured, and its pupils shrank suddenly.
"That's right... Rainbow Wing." Black Pupa nodded. "It was precisely because of my purpose to investigate the Salvation Society that I assisted Mr. Blue Arc in joining Rainbow Wing. For your sake and for my own safety, I have not told you this information until now, Mr. Ghost Bell... Your wife's death may be related to the Salvation Society."
"Are you kidding?" This time it was Gui Zhong's turn who couldn't sit still. He moved closer to the black pupa just like Mu Taki.
"Oh my god..." Hei Pupa covered his face and sighed, "I have tried my best to speak normally. Can you be more calm? Isn't it just that one of them lost his wife, and the other lost his brother and father?"
He pinched his fingers and muttered, "Let me do the math. My dead parents can make up a mahjong table. Why am I not as angry as you guys?"
"You mean... this matter is also related to Blue Arc?" Makutaki grasped the key point.
"Yes, Blue Arc has received an invitation to join the Rainbow Wing." Black Pupa said, "He will come into contact with the undercover agents of the Salvation Society in the Rainbow Wing organization. It is even possible that... Lin Zhengquan died at the hands of the Rainbow Wing people."
He paused and said, "After all, several members of Hongyi are currently in Lijing. The time they appeared in Lijing coincided with the time of Lin Zhengquan's death. Don't you think this is a coincidence, Mr. Mulong?"
Gui Zhong was startled, and murmured with his head down: "Qi Ye, did you receive an invitation from Hong Yi?"
Makutaki narrowed his eyes, "You want me to help Blue Arc?"
"No, you are just joining forces temporarily." Hei Pupa said, "After you deal with the Salvation Society, you can fight freely like wild beasts. I will never stop you at that time. Of course, I don't know what Mr. Gui Zhong thinks."
"Impossible... I can't allow Qi Ye to join Hongyi!" Ghost Bell roared.
"What if I say that your daughter has also been targeted by the Salvation Society?"
When Hei Pu's voice fell, Gui Zhong froze in place. Mu Taki was also slightly stunned.
"Say it again," Gui Zhong stared at the black pupa, "What happened to Xiaomai?"
"Su Zimai, she is a member of the Ghost Train Group."
Black Pupa flipped through the book while talking, "The Ghost Train Group is the exorcist team that Mr. Lin Zhengquan belongs to. Lin Zhengquan was killed by the Salvation Society. Do you think your daughter can escape from this?"
"That girl... is actually Gui Zhong's daughter?"
Mu Long lowered his head, recalling in disbelief. He had met Su Zimai once or twice in the hospital before, but he never imagined that she was Gu Zhuo'an's daughter.
Gui Zhong was startled, then slowly stepped back, muttering to himself, "Xiaomi, has been targeted as well?"
"Don't worry, at least she is safe for a short time, because Ke Qirui took her to join Lake Hunter. Lake Hunter is the most powerful exorcist organization in the world, and its status among the supernatural forces is even comparable to that of Rainbow Wing. Moreover, Lake Hunter adopts a family hereditary system, so the possibility of being infiltrated by the Salvation Society is very small."
Hei Pupa had just finished comforting her, and he rustled the pages of the book and added:
"But can you guarantee that Hu Lie can protect your daughter for life? Mr. Gui Zhong, if you don't exorcise the Salvation Society from this world, then your daughter will always be at risk of death, just like Lin Zhengquan...her body was torn apart and hung on a street lamp."
"Shut up--!" "Say that again, bastard!"
Hei Pupa's words undoubtedly touched the bottom line of both of them, and Gui Zhong and Mu Taki were completely furious.
The latter's face twitched, and the long sword was almost piercing through the black pupa's neck, but he still suppressed the tip of the sword.
"I'll say it one last time. The only way for you to win now is to cooperate with me." Black Pupa said, "The two of you, plus me, plus Blue Arc, the four of us will first defeat Rainbow Wing together, avenge Miss Su Ying, and then find clues about the Salvation Society."
He paused and said, "This is the only way for all of us to achieve a win-win situation. It can not only avenge Mr. Lin Zhengquan, but also protect Su Zimai's safety. Other than this... no matter which path you choose, you will not have any chance of winning."
Makutaki stared at him gloomily, like a giant eagle staring at its prey.
"You just said...Hongyi's people are in this city?" Gui Zhong suddenly asked.
"Wait, you're not going to do anything stupid, are you?" Hei Pu was stunned. "Let me remind you first, if you think you can kill Hong Yi's people alone, you are wrong, completely wrong. Cooperation, understand? We need to have a spirit of cooperation."
"I will not allow Qiye to join Hongyi. No matter what sweet words you use, you can't confuse me." Gui Zhong continued.
"Oh? Then what about Su Zimai? If Blue Arc doesn't join Rainbow Wing, we won't be able to get any clues about the Savior Society."
"Xiaomi, I will protect her myself. Those people from the Savior Society can come whenever they want, and I will repel them one by one."
Black Pupa was silent for a while: "Are you sure? Then let me ask, what are you going to do next?"
Gui Zhong spoke each word carefully: "First, kill Hong Yi in this city and force them to tell you about Su Ying and the Salvation Society."
"You're crazy." Hei Pu narrowed his eyes. "They might be looking for you. Fan Dongqing has come to Lijing once to kill you. If you hadn't been lucky enough to go to Japan that day, you would have died at the hands of Fan Dongqing. Besides, it wasn't just Fan Dongqing who came this time."
He paused and said, "Mr. Gui Zhong, do you think luck will always favor a reckless man like you? Are you sure that you can escape from their hands this time? If you die, who will save your son and daughter?"
"If they want to come, they can. I will take the initiative to find them." Gui Zhong said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gui Zhong moved past the side of the black pupa and his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows.
Hei Pupa tilted his head, quietly watching his back as he left, and then sighed softly.
"It seems that someone is beyond saving. Never mind... if he wants to die, then let him die." Hei Pupa said, turning his head to look at Mu Long, "What about you? What are you going to choose?"
Makutaki was silent for a moment, then pulled the blade away from Black Pupa's neck, "If it is true that the Salvation Society killed my brother, then... I will find them for revenge."
"Your attitude is very firm, which is very good. Then can you accept to cooperate with Blue Arc?"
Mu Taki lowered his head in thought for a while, then slowly raised his head, with a gloomy light flashing in his eyes:
"Blue Arc... I'll settle accounts with him one by one after we deal with the Salvation Society."
Black Pupa shook his head and sighed with relief:
"Great. I knew that not everyone is a bull. Then you should also try to persuade old Ghost Zhong. Watching him die is not a virtue."
"Whatever Mr. Gui Zhong wants to do is his own business. It has nothing to do with me." Mu Long put away his sword, "I have to go and check my brother's body. I'm in a bad mood now, don't hang around in front of me."
Black Pupa scratched his chin and muttered to himself, "I see. Can a head alone still be called a body?"
"Shut up--!"
Mu Taki's eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned around and drew his sword, leaving a path as clear as moonlight.
However, Black Pupa's figure had disappeared, leaving only air, the restraints rippling, and his transparent outline blending into the shadows of the corridor.
When he came to his senses, Mu Taki slowly lowered his head and found a mobile phone on the ground. There was a line of words on the memo interface of the phone:
——"Please use this phone to contact me from now on, Mr. Makutaki. No need to thank me for the gift."
He gasped, gritted his teeth, picked up the phone with his sword, held it in his hand, and then walked into the darkness.
At this point, the long underground corridor was finally empty, and the lights that had been flickering were completely extinguished.
After a moment, a low murmur was heard from the darkness.
"So...how many people will die this time? How many people can I save? I'll do my best."
The black pupa closed the "Les Miserables" in his hand, twirled down from mid-air, and left without looking back.
