Chapter 102: The Two of Hongyi, the Leader's Gift (Third Update, Please Give a Monthly Ticket)
In the brightly lit cafe, the fan was turning slowly, blowing on Xia Pingzhou's face, and his black hair was blown up by the wind.
One or two passers-by stopped on the street, as if they wanted to knock on the glass door, but when they looked up and saw a "Close" sign hanging on the door, they had to turn around and leave regretfully.
"How did the previous No. 12 of the brigade die?"
Ji Minghuan asked as he scooped coffee with a spoon and looked at the group members sitting at the table.
Andrew held a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep puff, and shrugged, "That guy was unlucky. He met the people of Hongyi during his vacation and was killed... We were not there at the time, and no one could save him."
Ji Minghuan thought for a moment and said with regret, "Hongyi is a natural disaster-level monster per capita. There is really no way to deal with them."
"So, the last No. 12 was unlucky," said Andrew.
Ji Minghuan took a sip of coffee with sugar and asked casually:
"Speaking of which... do you know who the members of Rainbow Wing are?"
Lan Duoduo draped his arms behind the chair, looked up at the TV, and said nonchalantly:
"The hacker knows. He found out the identities of two Rainbow Wing members. He said that Rainbow Wing's No. 12 seems to be the Indian [Machine Soul Bodhisattva] - Ajaya; No. 10 is the British [Gothic Doll], whose name is a bit long, Esther or something, I forgot."
Machine Soul Bodhisattva, Gothic Doll...
Ji Minghuan remained calm and silently memorized the two disaster-level code names in his mind - one of them might be the murderer who killed the mother of Gu Wenyu's family.
Inside the cafe, a TV was hung from the ceiling, and the host of Tokyo News was reporting a piece of news:
It tells the story of a supernatural person named "Black Pupa" from China who defeated the "Wing Man" at the Tokyo Tower the night before and helped "Yakura Takeshi" rescue the hostages.
Ji Minghuan was attracted by the broadcast sound and silently looked up at the dark, mummy-like figure.
When the Blood Descendant saw the black pupa on TV, she immediately lowered her red eyes and put down her wine glass. She said:
"Seeing this kind of bug-like person...it's really disgusting. I don't even feel like drinking anymore."
She paused for a moment, a teasing smile on her lips: "Our little cat is still fun to look at." As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Xia Pingzhou.
Ji Minghuan was too lazy to pay attention to her and just gave her a blank look in his heart.
He always felt that he would be the group's favorite, and his bloodline played a big role in that. It was all because this woman thought he was very similar to the dream lover she had been looking for for a hundred years, so she subconsciously developed a good impression of him.
In the end, she called him "kitten" in front of Ayase Origami, which led to the current situation getting out of control.
As if to go against the blood descendants, Ayase Origami didn't want to see him following the blood descendants.
The gangster lady was quite childish in this regard, which was in line with her age. Anyway, it was a childish idea that "I must not give away things that people I hate want." Therefore, she didn't necessarily think of Xia Pingzhou as a cat, but she just didn't want to see the blood descendants happy.
Speaking of which, Ji Minghuan really couldn't figure out whether the relationship between the two was good or bad.
However, for a gangster lady like Ayase Origami who lacks common sense, she may not have a clear boundary between "hate" and "like", but more of a boundary between "kill" and "cannot kill".
"My cat..." Ayase Origami closed the haiku collection, "You are not allowed to look at it."
"Cats are raised to be looked at by people." The Blood Descendant laughed.
"That's great... I also want to be the cat of these two young ladies." Andrew raised his eyebrows and said with emotion.
Lan Duoduo scratched the blue hair on his forehead and looked at him sideways: "You are obviously a stud who is in heat everywhere, what does it have to do with cats?"
"Plus one."
Ayase Origami didn't even raise her head as she used the napkin to write words in the air.
Lan Duoduo held his chin up and watched "Black Pupa" on TV sitting on the railing of the exhibition stand and painting.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, by the way... the hacker told me that two days ago, the team leader talked to him on the phone about this guy called 'Black Pupa'."
"Captain?"
The Blood Descendant tilted his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his red eyes, "The leader is still interested in such a small character?"
Lan Duoduo nodded: "Yes, the hacker said that the leader is interested in 'Black Pupa' and wants to recruit him into the brigade, but he can't find Black Pupa's contact information yet."
She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's attracted by the ability of this bandage man. He seems to be able to suppress other people's abilities. If we can make good use of this ability, many difficult opponents will become wild dogs... But think about it from another perspective. If this bandage man stands on the opposite side of us and he bundles up all of you, wouldn't you just sit there and wait to die?"
Haha, my restraint belt can not only suppress superpowers, but also has effects on other systems' abilities.
Ji Minghuan added in his heart.
"You talk as if he has that chance." The Blood Descendant disagreed.
"Trash." Ayase Origami glanced at the black pupa and commented in an emotionless voice.
Andrew sighed and said, "Are you kidding me, Lan Duoduo? The most important thing is that we are already full, and adding that kind of weirdo will damage our image!"
He paused and said, "The minimum number of members should be handsome uncles like me, and the next best is pretty boys like the newcomers."
Andrew patted Xia Pingzhou on the shoulder and looked at his handsome face. "You said so, No. 12?"
Ji Minghuan took a sip of coffee and remained silent.
"It's okay. Having one more member won't cause any harm. And who knows... the newcomer might die at the auction in a few days." At this point, Lan Duoduo smiled slyly.
“That’s not funny.”
Ji Minghuan raised his eyes from the cup and said calmly.
He thought to himself, if a No. 2 unit dies and a No. 1 unit joins the brigade, then I am still me, isn't there any difference?
"As long as I'm here, the kitten won't die." said Ayase Origami.
If there weren't so many people around, Ji Minghuan would have already started "meowing".
At this moment, Oda Takikage suddenly emerged from the shadows behind Lan Duoduo, carrying a large bag of food.
He turned around and walked into the kitchen connected to the cafe. Everyone in the group was already used to this scene, and there was no special expression on their faces, and they all chatted about their own things.
Looking up at the TV, the news anchor played a clip in which Hei Pupa used cartoon drawings to promote the positive image of the Chinese alien "Swallowing Silver" to the Japanese people.
For a while, the words "swallowing silver" were on the hot search list of the Japanese version of TikTok, as well as Twitter, and stayed on the hot search list for a whole day and night before the popularity began to decline.
"Oh yes...a year ago, Andrew and I fought against this silver-swallowing little rat in Hong Kong." Lan Duoduo mentioned.
"Swallowing Silver seems to be... Dragon level?" Ji Minghuan murmured.
Lan Duoduo tilted his head and said disapprovingly: "That's what the association's official website says, but I feel it's just marketing. This guy is at most worth a relatively powerful Kui level, right?"
"Who won in the end?" Ji Minghuan asked curiously, "You or Tunyin?"
Lan Duoduo frowned, feeling that she was looked down upon. She said coldly, "Ha!"
"Of course, he was beaten to his knees by my big snowman. Hong Kong is my territory."
"Then why didn't you kill him?" The Blood Descendant took a sip of red wine, raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "He is still so lively now."
"Because Blue Arc came over at that time." Andrew took a sip of wine, "We had no choice but to run. Oh my god, we almost couldn't get away... That guy was really fast! Fortunately, I had an idea at the end and used my gun to knock down several aerial work platforms that were under construction. Blue Arc didn't stalemate with us, but went to rescue people. Otherwise, the result would be hard to say."
"Blue Arc..." Ji Minghuan pretended to be nonchalant, "I haven't met him yet."
"It's almost time to eat, please clear the table." Oda Takikage's voice came from the kitchen.
Andrew put out his cigarette and grinned, "Okay, okay, I'm almost starving. I haven't tasted No. 4's cooking for a long time. The last time was when we robbed a military supply transport ship in Italy."
"But I'm almost full. You guys eat. I'll leave first." The blood descendant smiled slightly, put down his wine glass, stood up from the table, pushed open the glass door and left. The wind chimes tied to the door were still clanging.
"Newcomer, please go upstairs and call the hacker." Lan Duoduo was playing with his mobile phone and patted Xia Pingzhou's shoulder without raising his head.
"oh."
Ji Minghuan responded casually, stood up from the table, and walked up the circular staircase.
After going up to the attic, he saw the hacker sitting on the windowsill playing with his phone. The moonlight fell, illuminating the boy's childish face.
"Newcomer, the leader wants me to give you a gift." The hacker suddenly said.
"What gift?"
"Do you have a cell phone?" The hacker curled his lips and looked up at Ji Minghuan.
"Here you go." Ji Minghuan casually threw the phone to the hacker. There was nothing important in it anyway. He had prepared for being monitored from the beginning. It was impossible to leave any clues on the phone now, and it would be impossible in the future.
This is especially true after learning that there is a "prodigy hacker" in the brigade.
The hacker took Ji Minghuan's phone, turned it on, and said after a while: "OK."
He threw the phone back and Ji Minghuan caught it.
When I opened the screen, I saw a new software with a black skull pattern on the homepage.
"What is this?" Ji Minghuan asked.
The hacker said without even looking up: "I hacked into the internal system of the Exorcist Association. After they detect the existence of the demon with a special instrument, they will upload the demon's location to the private system of the Exorcist website, allowing every exorcist who has the system to see the demon's location. It will also show which exorcists are going to carry out the annihilation mission."
"Oh, so I can use this software to find out where demons appear in Tokyo?"
"Not only in Tokyo, but also in any city in the world." The hacker said, "I will help you update the system regularly to prevent you from being caught by the Exorcist Association."
This thing sounds so useful. Tomorrow I will ask Ayase Origami and Oda Takikage to take me to kill monsters and level up.
Hold on to the thigh of the underworld lady and see if you can upgrade Xia Pingzhou's Tianqu "Chess" to the second level before the auction starts.
This way you can contract a new demon.
The key is that this system can also be used to gain insight into the movements of the Exorcist Association, so there is no need to worry about running into exorcists like Ke Qirui who are directly under the association while eliminating demons like last time.
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan quietly put the phone into his pocket. He looked up at the hacker and said:
"Thank you. Please tell the leader: I like this gift very much."
