Chapter 26 Under the Moon

[Question: Do you want to consume three "split points" to create the next game character immediately? (Please use this function when you are sure that the main body and the character are not bothered by anything. After selecting "Confirm", your consciousness will enter the "Character Creation Space")]

[Tip 1: Each game character has a unique mission design. Creating and training characters in advance can effectively improve your overall strength. ]

[Hint 2: However, the more and more comprehensive your understanding of the superhuman race is, the more powerful the game character generated in the "character creation phase" may be. Whether to generate the character immediately depends on your choice. ]

Staring at the series of words on the panel, Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "This way, my short-term goal is achieved: as long as I create the next game character, I will have a margin for error in my actions, so I won't be helpless when a character dies. Next, I can have one of the characters explore the welfare home and see if I can find any clues about the research institute."

If it were the old Ji Minghuan, he would never have thought that returning to the welfare home would be such a laborious and cautious task...

But so far, the only clue related to the research institute is that "he and Kong Youling were abducted from the orphanage."

But no matter what, Ji Minghuan couldn't create a game character directly at this point. That would be too hasty.

To be on the safe side, he closed the prompt panel.

"Right now, we don't know enough about the other two superhuman races. Generating characters is just like picking a blind box... Well, let's get some information from the instructor first."

Given Ji Minghuan's understanding of his own special abilities, creating a game character is naturally an extremely important step. It can even be said that it directly determines whether he can escape from the laboratory in the future, so it must be considered carefully.

Currently, his understanding of the two superhuman races, "The Messenger of Wonder" and "The Exorcist", is still just a superficial symbol.

The mentor promised him that he would introduce him to the other two "superhuman races" tomorrow.

So before creating a second game character, it might not hurt to listen to what your mentor says.

Once he has a certain understanding of this aspect, during the character creation process, Ji Minghuan can easily identify which superhuman race has higher potential in the two "character files" and make a reasonable choice.

Like an old man taking a walk to digest his food after dinner, he walked at a turtle-like pace and finally arrived at Guyimai Park.

This is where Su Zimai’s footsteps stopped.

Stopping at the entrance of the small park, Ji Minghuan put his hands in his school uniform pockets. At first glance, he saw Su Zimai sitting alone on the swing with a schoolbag on her back. A ray of moonlight fell from above her head, shining on her expressionless face.

Ji Minghuan walked into the empty park and silently sat on another swing nearby. He swayed his body like a primary school student, and the swing swung him up and down.

Su Zimai clearly saw him, but didn't say anything.

The two of them stayed silent for a while, swinging quietly in the moonlight, just like they did when they were little.

After a long while, she spoke: "Didn't I tell you to stop bothering me?"

"I thought the 'you guys' you said were referring to my brother and dad, not me."

Ji Minghuan shrugged and said nonchalantly while swinging on the swing.

Su Zimai still didn't turn his head.

"Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you." She paused, "Hand...anything else?"

Ji Minghuan looked down at his wrist with a Band-Aid on it and said jokingly, "You're quite humorous. What's the harm if your dad grabs you? How can a high school boy like me be so delicate? In Japan, high school students of this age are supposed to save the world."

He said this, but he didn't think so in his heart: If Dad had used a little more strength at that time, he would not only have injured his wrist, but probably half of his body would have been torn off.

"Then go back. I don't want to go home."

"I don't want to go home either. I'm not here to persuade you to go back."

After a pause, Ji Minghuan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Actually, sometimes... it's good to have a home to return to. You know, some people don't even have a home to return to. She works very hard, and she just wants to have someone waiting for her to go home."

Speaking of this, I recalled the silhouette of Kong Youling sitting on the eaves with her knees hugged. The moonlight that day was also so clear and bright.

"What did you say?"

His voice was too soft and Su Zimai didn't hear the second half of his sentence.

He shook his head.

"nothing."

Su Zimai looked down at the soft mud and sand under his feet and whispered, "You've changed a lot."

"Which one?"

"I've never seen you care so much about others before."

"You misunderstood. I'm just a little bit reserved, but I still care about my family... Of course, there's also the possibility that I just watched The Godfather 1 and was inspired by Marlon Brando's words 'A man who doesn't care about his family is not a good man.'"

"Okay, stuffy guy, you're the Godfather? You're the first one to get shot in the head in the gangster movie."

"Is there anyone coming to pick you up?"

"Well, I called a friend."

Ji Minghuan caught this word and asked, "Didn't you just say classmates?"

"No, I don't care about such a good classmate. I just said it casually just now. Will you keep it a secret for me?" Su Zimai said, meeting his gaze with a sidelong glance.

"Okay, go back and tell them I sent you to your classmate's house."

"Thanks."

"All buddies."

"You're the buddy."

"Sisters."

"Okay, sister." After saying this, Su Zimai held her breath for a moment, then her cheeks puffed up slightly and she couldn't help but smile.

The next moment she suddenly turned her head and saw a figure walking in at the park entrance.

Ji Minghuan followed her gaze and looked at the people walking into the park.

What caught my eye was a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a khaki windbreaker and a white shirt underneath.

He wore slim-fitting light green straight trousers, a camel-colored beret on his head, and a monocle on his left eye. There was a chain hanging on the bracket, which went around his ear and the end was pinned to the collar of his windbreaker.

She has medium-length shoulder-length black hair, a high nose bridge, and cold eyes that are slightly raised, like a mixed-race model.

"Sister, is she your girlfriend?" Ji Minghuan tilted his head and said to Su Zimai, "Don't all lesbians like this kind of sister who looks highly educated and dresses very elegantly? I understand... This is what is often called 'high intelligence' on the Internet."

"Go away, my sexual orientation is normal, although some girls have confessed to me." Su Zimai said, and even boasted a little at the end.

"Who is she?"

"I am your teacher."

A teacher in the field of exorcism? Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.

While the two were talking, the mixed-race girl put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, slowly walked towards the swing, and glanced at the two of them.

She tilted her head and asked Su Zimai: "...Who is he?"

"My brother." Su Zimai said bluntly, "You don't have to treat him as a human being."

Hearing this, the girl wearing a beret silently pulled out a hand from her pocket, extended it to Ji Minghuan, and politely introduced herself:

"Hello, my name is Ke Qiji, and I'm Su Zimai's friend. I often hear about you from her."

"My name is Gu Wenyu. Is it necessary to be so serious? I have never shaken hands with anyone before."

As Ji Minghuan spoke, he reached out from the swing and held her bony right hand.

At this moment, he reached out the dark restraint from his palm, lightly touched Ke Qiji's hand like a dragonfly touching the water, and then quickly retracted it into his skin.
