Chapter 403 Rainbow Wing, Communication, Goodbye (Last day to ask for monthly ticket)

The time is 20:30 on August 25, Lijing, China.

At this moment, the black pupa was hanging upside down above the Lijing Iron Tower, motionless.

The typhoon that ravaged the mainland not long ago has just left. Looking out from the top of the tower, the brightly lit city has a sense of peace after the storm.

The streets were still a little damp, and the pedestrians coming and going were shrouded in colorful neon lights, which cast a warm filter on their figures.

Black Pupa stretched out his right hand and released a restraint incarnation from the sleeve of his windbreaker.

In the darkness of the night, a transparent figure grabbed the restraints and flew quickly towards the Laojingmai Street District.

Of course he knew that the Gu family would not stay in that kind of place - as the most wanted criminals designated by Hongyi, even if Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuoan temporarily returned to Lijing to avoid the White Crow Brigade, they would not be able to settle in the Laojingmai District, as that would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

This time, Hei Pupa is looking for someone else.

After a while, the black pupa loosened its restraints and stopped in front of a three-story residential building in the Laojingmai District.

Using the senses of his restraints, he spotted a girl with white hair and blue eyes in the living room on the first floor. To be more precise, her appearance was somewhere between a girl and a young girl.

Because of the side effects of her superpowers, her appearance and age remained forever at the age of sixteen.

"Rainbow Wing...Ice Maiden, Uriel."

The black pupa muttered to himself silently and recognized the other party's identity at the first moment.

He briefly considered his approach, then used the senses of his restraints to observe his surroundings. After making sure that no other Rainbow Wing members were lurking nearby, he leaped through the windowsill and landed in the living room of the residential building.

The living room was quiet.

Hei Pupa raised his head and saw a white-haired girl in a blue dress.

The Icelandic girl had a clear temperament. The moonlight shone on her fair cheeks through the window lattice. At this moment, she was sitting quietly on the sofa with her ice-blue eyes lowered, flipping through the family album.

"Oh...isn't this the Ice Girl from our Rainbow Wing? What a coincidence, I actually met you here."

The black pupa hung upside down below the ceiling, slowly releasing its color-changing form and waving its restraints to greet her.

At this moment, moonlight poured in from the window like mercury, shining on his back, and the edges of each restraint were stained with a layer of light.

Yuriel raised her eyes from the sofa and tilted her cheek. A black figure was reflected in her pupils: the body was covered with layers of restraints, and she wore a pair of sunglasses on her face. The head under the sunglasses was also completely wrapped in black tape.

Like a black mummy.

After seeing the uninvited guest's attire, she raised her snow-white eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. She seemed to have not expected that she would meet such a dangerous person who had disappeared for a long time during her rare trip to Lijing.

In fact, the official report clearly mentioned that "the black pupa is confirmed dead."

But Yuriel and some members of Rainbow Wing thought that this matter was still debatable, because they did not believe that the people who had eliminated the "Queen Bee" - Joe on the uninhabited island would die so easily.

The death of the black pupa remains an unsolved mystery.

After that, the top leaders of the United Nations also thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of the Puppet Father, Urushihara Ruri and others, and thus officially learned of the existence of the "Salvation Society" organization.

In addition to tracking down Ghost Bell, Blue Arc and others, the United Nations has also sent some Rainbow Wing personnel to secretly investigate clues about the "Salvation Society".

What they can be sure of is... there is definitely an inextricable connection between the character Black Pupa and the Salvation Society. After many days, Black Pupa appeared in front of Yuriel again, which undoubtedly confirmed their guess.

At this moment, seeing Yuriel staring at him in silence for a long time, Black Pupa lowered his head and sighed.

He decided to use some rhetoric to gain the upper hand on the moral level, so after a brief thought, he spoke:

"Look, Miss Uriel, could you please not do weird things in other people's homes?"

"This is not your home." The Icelandic girl closed the photo album in her hand and retorted indifferently.

"Hehe... maybe this is really my home?"

Hei Pupa spread his hands and tilted his head in frustration. "Next, before we begin our conversation, let me first recount the crimes you committed in my house."

"for example."

The Icelandic girl said this expressionlessly, and slowly placed the photo album in her hand back in front of the TV.

"For example?" Hei Pu narrowed his eyes. "There are so many examples. For example, secretly picking up someone else's family album to look at their loved one's childhood! Or for example... sitting on the sofa in the middle of the night staring at the ceiling, imagining what kind of life the people who live here have always led!"

At this point, he suddenly raised a finger wrapped in a restraint, "You have the right to remain silent. After all, every beautiful girl is ruined by a chatterbox."

He paused. "But an awakened woman like me, who refuses to be objectified by men, won't be constrained by this. Even if you chatter endlessly, it won't affect the fact that I am a beautiful girl - because my beauty comes from within, from the purity of my soul. I hope you can learn from my state of mind."

"I thought you were dead." At this time, Yuriel finally spoke. Her words immediately lowered the temperature of the conversation to below zero, and Black Pupa couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Of course I'm not dead, it's just that everyone thought I was..." he said quietly, "Everyone thinks I'm too fragile. Insects are strong and beautiful creatures, and the charm of life lies in its strong resilience."

Yuriel ignored his nonsense. "The one standing before me this time is also a clone, right?"

"What else?"

Black Pupa said, holding his forehead and sighing, "Someone may seem to be labeled a three-no girl, but she actually has a murderous heart. How can I not worry that she'll tear my head off the moment we meet... People who have been raised as killing tools since childhood are not to be messed with, don't you think, Sister Yuriel?"

He scratched his chin and muttered to himself, "Is this some kind of 2D cartoon character?"

"Don't act like we're so familiar with each other." Uriel said expressionlessly, "Just say what you want to say. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of Gu Qinye?" Hei Pu looked into her eyes and asked almost word by word.

Upon hearing the name, Yuriel's expression changed slightly.

She was silent for a while, then raised her head and asked slowly, "Do you know where he is?"

Black Pupa hummed and said, "Of course, I can even take you to see him right now, but that depends on whether your attitude is cooperative."

If you want to know where they are, it's easy. Just ask César to send a text message and ask.

But the bad news was that César was still fishing for cod in Antarctica, and his cell phone had no signal, so he couldn't contact anyone else;

The good news is that Yagubaru is trying its best to urge César to leave Antarctica, scolding and beating him, so at this moment, it has successfully carried César to the nearest city.

Once connected to the Internet, Xizel can make an international call to Gu Qinye.

Uriel was silent for a long time, then asked in a cold voice;

"Is he... okay?"

"He's fine, he's not dead... Actually, there's nothing for him to worry about. If we were to rank all the superpowers in the world, his strength would put him in the top 10. How many people could put him in danger? If he went crazy, he'd be a veritable walking disaster."

After saying this, Hei Pupa silently added in his mind, "Of course, the premise for him to enter the top 10 is... that my four mobile suits and my main body are not counted in the top 10."

If we say that, as the only restricted-level psychic in the world, his physical strength is undoubtedly ranked first in the world.

Then if we go down the list, it will definitely be the turn of the few legendary brats from the Savior Society, and then it will be his four "graduation machines".

Now, the graduation strength of Ji Minghuan's four machines is undoubtedly ranked in the first tier below the mythical level - one level higher than the disaster level and one level lower than the mythical level. Perhaps it is appropriate to describe it as "quasi-mythical level".

If Ji Minghuan were to rank the four machines in his mind, the first one would naturally be machine number four - "Son of the Nian Beast".

After all, the three attributes of the Little Nian Beast have been capped, and it also wears a demon-specific crown. This is like a stat monster in a game getting a special weapon and being able to activate a 10-second explosive plug-in anytime and anywhere;

The second-placed machine was "Xia Ping Zhou". He couldn't imagine how powerful the Queen's stone statue would be after its "final evolution" even though it was already so powerful. Not to mention that he still had the trump card "Bridge of Humans and Demons" that could fuse the Queen with the demon.

The third one is "Yagubaru", which is nothing to talk about;

Finally, I got to "Black Pupa".

Considering stability alone, the Black Pupa's performance is naturally not as good as other machines. The upper and lower limits of his strength are based on the strength of the superpowers he stole.

But if the stolen ability is appropriate, or if there is a suitable occasion, then the performance of the black pupa will have a chance to surpass the previous three bodies, so Ji Minghuan gave him the task of sneaking into the base of the Salvation Society.

"What do you want me to do?" Uriel thought for a moment and then asked.

Black Pupa said, "I don't need you to do anything. I just need you to pass on a message to the others in Hongyi."

"What?"

"On September 1st, your beloved Mr. Traitor will head to Hofsjokull in Iceland on schedule. Hmm... why does this sound so familiar?"

"Iceland?" Hearing the name of her hometown, Yuriel couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, I've already told you the time and place. Whether or not you'll come to Iceland by then is up to you." Black Pupa spread his hands. "If everything goes as expected, the top brass at the UN should be monitoring you right now. They should have heard what I said."

He paused, then lowered his voice. "And there must be members of the Salvation Society among these high-ranking officials. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why they were able to slip undercover agents from the Salvation Society into Rainbow Wing so easily..."

At this moment, the demon army on Haifan Mountain has moved towards the north, and the people of Lake Hunting and White Crow Brigade have also started to move at the same time. Even if the Savior Society is slow-witted, it is impossible for them not to understand that they are coming for them.

So there is no need to alarm the enemy now. This is an open war.

Even if the Salvation Society moved their base during these few days, it would certainly cause a huge commotion on the Hofs Glacier. It would not be difficult for Black Pupa to find their base again. As long as they were still on Earth, he was confident that he could find it within a day.

But if the Saviors chose to abandon the base and take their people away, that would be exactly what Black Pupa wants. Without that tightly guarded base, the difficulty of taking action against them would drop sharply.

Yuriel lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up at the black pupa. "September 1st, Iceland, Hofsglacier, Gu Qi..." She changed her words and said, "Blue Arc, he will appear there."

"That's right." Black Pupa nodded. "That's all I have to say. Goodbye. I have other things to do tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body was wrapped in a transparent restraint and disappeared in the evening breeze.

"The Salvation Society..."

Yuriel murmured silently, and suddenly the faces of Oda Hideo, Urushihara Ruri and others came to her mind.

She still didn't understand what kind of force Gu Qinye and the others were fighting against. If Gu Qinye wanted to take revenge on Hong Yi that day, why did he only attack the people from the Salvation Society?

After a moment, Yuriel slowly raised her head, stared at the plane flying in the night sky for a moment, and then looked away from the window.

At this moment, the cell phone in her dress pocket vibrated slightly. She picked up the phone, turned on the screen and took a look at the received text message.

Esther (Note: 200-year-old Gothic girl): Hey, where are you now, little white-haired thing? Jiujiu and I happened to be in Lijing, so we'd like to treat you to a meal.

【Esther: This is the address. You can come if you want.】

【Ice: I'm here.】

After replying to the message, Yuriel got up from the sofa and left.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the world, in Ushuaia, Argentina.

"Ushuaia" is a city located in Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, only 800 kilometers away from the Antarctic Peninsula. It is also known as "the city closest to Antarctica in the world."

Because of the time difference, the time in Lisbon is 11 hours ahead of that in Ushuaia, so it is noon here at this time. The sun hangs under the clear sky like ice, casting a cold halo on the city.

At this moment, César was wearing a thick cotton coat and a plush hat, sitting cross-legged on the bed in the hotel room, his cheeks turned white from the cold.

The heater was on in the room and the air conditioner was humming. He took off his hat and exhaled a breath of white air. He looked down at the name "Gu Qiye" in his mobile phone address book, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look out the window.

Ushuaia seemed a bit bleak at the end of August, with the snow on the mountains still there and the sea breeze was cold.

Gray clouds pressed down over the city, with a few cool rays of light occasionally leaking through the gaps in the clouds and falling on the cobblestone streets. Pedestrians wrapped in thick down jackets walked hurriedly with their necks hunched.

The window faced the undulating black mountain ridges in the distance, with snow still on the peaks. At the foot of the mountain, the dark green fir forest was shrouded in mist.

Intermittent whistle sounds came from the dock, and several blue and white painted fishing boats swayed with the waves.

"What are you still daydreaming about, Cesar?" A little shark suddenly popped its head out of the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket and asked curiously, "Call him quickly!"

Xizel hesitated for a while with his phone in hand, then lowered his head and asked the little shark in his pocket:

"But, is this really a good idea, Yakubulu? Why bother Mr. Blue Arc and the others now? Didn't they clearly reject me once before?"

Little Shark held his fin and said seriously and firmly, "Just listen to Shark! I bet they'll change their minds soon and go to the Salvation Society with us."

"But why?" Cesar asked in confusion.

Baby Shark raised his fin and cheered, "Because the Great Fluttermoth is back!"

"You're lying." Xizel sighed, "Forget it, I'll just make a phone call to comfort them." After saying that, Xizel pressed his finger on the screen and dialed Gu Qiye's number.

After a while, Gu Qiye's voice came over: "Xizel? What's wrong?"

"Look, Mr. Blue Arc, you are in Lijing now, right?"

"Yes, Haifan City is a bit chaotic. We're staying in Lijing to avoid the limelight and will return to Haifan City after a while." Gu Qiye said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Ask him where he is now." Little Shark suddenly spoke in a low voice, urging.

Hearing this, Xizel had no choice but to ask, "Then where are you now? Hongyi is holding on so tightly, you won't be discovered by their people in Lijing, right?"

"Don't worry, we are at the train station." Gu Qinye replied with a smile.

"TRAIN STATION?"

"Yes, the abandoned train station at the old Jingmai site." Gu Qiye said, "We have been staying in Ke Qirui's train demon for a while. This is the safest place."

"Oh, I see." Cesar said, "I'll hang up first then."

"You came to me just to ask about my recent situation?"

"Well, I suddenly thought of you guys, so I asked."

"Then you should also pay attention to safety."

Xizel hung up the phone, then took a long breath and looked down at the little shark in his pocket.

I saw it close its eyes and suddenly faint.

"What's wrong with you?" Cesar was startled.

"Shark, I'm busy, please don't disturb me." The little shark muttered and stopped talking to him.

At the same time, China, Lijing.

A slender black figure, clutching restraints emanating from his fingertips, soared above the brightly lit city. The neon lights of billboards illuminated his figure, and his ears were filled with the absurd advertising slogans and the noisy voices of people on the long street.

[Consciousness has been synchronized with Unit 1, the Black Pupa.]

After learning the whereabouts of Gu Qiye and others from Xizel, the black pupa's restraint belt incarnation was now flying towards the old Jingmai Railway Station.

After a while, the black pupa crossed the bustling city and came to the abandoned train station. It restrained its breath and hung upside down silently under the ceiling of Platform 7.

For a moment, the bright white lights of the cars cut through the night, illuminating the rusty rails.

"Train demons... This is indeed the safest place for them to live. After all, they can escape at any time."

Hei Pupa looked at the dark red train emitting orange lights on the track.

At this moment, there was a curtain covering the window of the carriage, and several familiar figures were slowly reflected on the curtain.
