Chapter 119 Heavy Rain, Tokyo, Bloody Auction (Part 3)
Amid the sound of pattering rain, cumulonimbus clouds covered the Tokyo sky.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping. Thousands and thousands of tons of rain were pouring down from the sky, as if trying to submerge the entire city.
At this moment, in an abandoned building located in a remote area.
Xia Pingzhou sat in the top corner, playing chess with Ayase Origami, while glancing at member No. 7 Robert who was taking a nap with his head down.
"Why is Robert still here?" he thought, "If the leader sneaks into the auction, he should bring No. 7 with him."
"It's your turn." Ayase Origami's cold voice interrupted Xia Pingzhou's thoughts.
Xia Pingzhou looked up and drew a cross on the Go square with a pencil.
"I win." Ayase Origami drew a circle and connected the five circles with a pencil. "Kitten, you're not paying attention."
Xia Pingzhou didn't take it seriously, his mind was full of thoughts.
"If the leader wants other members to enter the auction, he must use the ability of member No. 7 'Robert' - Robert can open a door that connects to any place he has been to."
"But Robert, member No. 7, is staying in the abandoned building and has not moved a step."
"In other words... only the team leader sneaked into the auction?"
Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou turned his head and asked hacker No. 9 with a blank expression: "What about the leader? Didn't he say that he would tell us the plan five minutes before the operation?"
"As for the leader, it's already at the auction."
The hacker lowered his head and played with his mobile phone without looking up.
"Is the team leader inside the auction?" Xia Pingzhou asked word by word.
The hacker turned off his phone and looked up at Xia Pingzhou: "Yes, Robert is also in the auction house now. He will open a door for us from inside the auction house soon. We just need to wait here."
Xia Pingzhou was slightly startled and asked, "But Robert is not here?"
When the other members heard this, they all looked over, with a hint of surprise on their faces.
Then they all looked at member No. 7 Robert, who was taking a nap with his head down against the wall. The mechanical box head obscured Robert's expression.
In the silence, An Lance, the No. 11 member who was sitting next to Robert, suddenly took out a pistol from inside his suit.
Then Anluns took off Robert's mechanical box head. Inside the head was a man with a rag stuffed in his mouth and a bruised face. The man was in a coma.
Then, Anluns covered his ears, raised his pistol, and pulled the trigger at the man's head with a smile.
“Bang!”
Sharp gunshots rang out in the silent abandoned building, blood splattered everywhere, and the man slowly collapsed to the ground.
"Hacker, explain yourself." Jack the Ripper said coldly, tilting his head. "What's the situation now?"
"What an interesting farce." The blood descendant held his cheeks with both hands, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.
Ayase Origami also raised her head and glanced sideways at "Robert" who was shot.
Lan Duoduo was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she tilted her head and murmured, "Since the Robert here is fake, where is the real Robert?"
The hacker spoke up and explained to everyone:
"The real Robert is staying inside the auction house with the leader. The Robert who slept here for a few hours is an underground boxer that An Luns kidnapped last night. However, An Luns put a mechanical box on his head."
He paused and lowered his voice: "The leader said that there might be a traitor among us. The traitor revealed our abilities to the people at the auction, so he made us perform this drama in front of you..."
At this point, the hacker turned his head to look at Xia Pingzhou and said calmly:
"Newcomer, I thought you were the traitor at first. But you've been with us the whole time, and I've been monitoring your phone records. I've seen every text message and even every word you've said during this period, which means you're not the traitor."
There was no expression on Xia Pingzhou's face.
After a long silence, he replied calmly: "This is such a joke. My heart is still in the hands of the Ripper. Wouldn't it be a way to seek death if I betray you?"
Bai Tanlang raised his left eye with a white cataract, stared at the scene quietly, and then said:
"Captain, have you deceived us too?"
Andrew lowered the brim of his cowboy hat and curled the corners of his lips: "As expected of the leader, you always come up with something that I never expected."
"Well, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved," An Lunsi put the pistol back into his suit pocket and said calmly, "It's about time for Robert to open a door for us from the auction."
At this point, he lowered his voice faintly: "Let's go, it's time for us to go and make a big scene."
At the same time, inside the auction venue in the mirror world.
The red curtain on the auction table had been pulled upwards. The guests from the mafia family applauded one after another. The atmosphere on the scene was suddenly very high and one of the guests cheered loudly.
Then, a male and a female host appeared on the auction table and started talking about the draft to warm up the atmosphere.
The man looked as honest as a big golden retriever, with thick and short eyebrows raised and a gentle smile on his face forever; the woman, who was wearing a cyan blue dress, was responsible for livening up the atmosphere, holding a microphone to tease the guests' emotions.
Lan Hu hugged his shoulders and watched the scene quietly.
Suddenly, he received a series of text messages, so he opened his phone and took a look.
[Black Pupa: The leader of the brigade is among you. He is both an exorcist and a psychic. He also participated in the bodyguard team of the last auction, so he confused your vision.]
[Black Pupa: Think about it carefully. He is hiding among the exorcists in the bodyguard team.]
The moment he received the message, Blue Arc was slightly startled.
He stared at the text sent by Hei Pupa, thinking about the several exorcists in the core bodyguard team... There is no need to say much about the members of the Ghost Train Regiment, and there is no possibility that there is a traitor on Ke Qirui's side; then the leader of the brigade can only be mixed in with the Japanese side.
Excluding Kagamimori, the only ones left are "Fuyuyama Nobunaga" (Tenqu: Long Sword) and "Guihara Ritsu" (Tenqu: Playing Cards).
But Nobunaga Fuyuyama has continued to serve the Exorcist Association in recent years, and records of his actions can be seen everywhere.
So after eliminating these options, there is only one possibility left.
Thinking of this, Lan Hu suddenly turned his head, and he found that Huiyuan Ritsu had disappeared silently.
As expected... is that guy the leader of the brigade?
This thought flashed through Lan Hu's mind. He frowned and looked around, searching for the figure of Huihara Ritsu in the huge auction venue.
The next moment, Lan Hu suddenly looked towards the auction stage. At this time, the first item had been pushed onto the auction stage, and the staff members returned to the backstage.
The hostess explained the products that were on display in her high-pitched voice;
The male host squatted down silently and took out a square mechanical box and a pistol from the cart pushed by the staff.
"Bang--!"
At this moment, a sudden gunshot broke the laughter and joy that enveloped the auction venue.
The guests fell silent and looked up at the scene on the auction table.
The male host who was as gentle as a golden retriever just now was holding a pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the pistol was spewing gunpowder smoke. And next to him, the female host suddenly had a bloody hole on her head.
Her face was filled with astonishment, and with a thud, she slowly fell to the floor of the auction table.
Then the male host stepped back to the wall and put the square mechanical box on his head. When he raised his head again, he seemed like a different person.
It was... the appearance of the brigade's seventh member - "Robert".
The incarnation of the black pupa's restraint belt sat in the audience, watching the scene quietly. He raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "So that's how it is... Robert took off the mechanical box he usually wore on his head and accompanied the team leader to sneak into the inner circle of the auction."
He typed on his phone and sent a message to Blue Arc.
[Black Pupa: Mr. Blue Arc, I suggest you stop him as soon as possible. This male host is the No. 7 member of the brigade, and his ability is to open a door connecting different places.]
At this moment, Robert on the stage bowed slightly to the guests, and a metallic voice came out from the mechanical box: "Well... guests, I will open a door to hell for you next."
After saying that, in the dead silence, Robert slowly walked towards the wall behind him.
At this second, deep blue electric light suddenly burst out from the surface of Blue Arc.
But just as he was about to rush forward, thousands of crows blocked his way, forming a gray curtain. Blue Arc subconsciously stopped, slowly raised his head, and murmured: "The ability to control crows... the leader of the White Crow Brigade?"
Blue Arc narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure surrounded by the crows.
Dark crows flew and circled in the air, forming a storm.
And without knowing when, Huiyuan Ritsu had appeared in the middle of the crows, less than ten meters away from Blue Arc.
He took off the round-frame glasses on his face. There was no expression on his face, and Lan Hu's face was reflected in his deep pupils.
"Urushihara... This is my real name." The young man stared at Blue Arc and said slowly, "I am also the leader of the White Crow Brigade. Nice to meet you, Mr. Blue Arc."
After he finished speaking, the young man named "Lacquer Principle" turned his head and looked at the guests in the auction hall who were stunned and stood still with a look that was neither sad nor happy.
"It just so happens that I'm in the bodyguard team and have secured a position to check whether guests are wearing 'face masks'."
Qi Yuanli put his hands behind his back, his long black hair flying with the crows.
He lowered his dark eyes and spoke expressionlessly.
"Then during this inspection, I played a little prank and left a 'playing card' in the suit pocket of every guest at the venue, and they may not have realized it at all."
Having said that, Qi Yuanli paused for a moment and slowly turned around.
He looked directly into Blue Arc's eyes. "And then... you can guess, Mr. Blue Arc, what will happen to these more than one hundred guests with playing cards in their pockets?"
Blue Arc's pupils contracted.
The next second, a deafening roar rang out inside the auction venue.
More than one hundred celebrities from the underworld suddenly felt an extremely high temperature burst out from their suit pockets. The playing cards turned into flames that shot up into the sky, engulfing the bodies of every guest, including the seats beneath them.
At this moment, bright and surging flames engulfed Blue Arc's vision.
The loud noises lasted for a full five seconds before they stopped. Immediately, the entire auction venue was shrouded in deathly silence, and the smell of blood filled the air like a rainstorm.
"No..." Blue Arc muttered hoarsely, slowly turning his head to look.
After a while, a cloud of bloody smoke slowly dissipated, and it was seen that the figures in the guest seats were not completely wiped out as Lan Qi had imagined.
There are still three surviving guests:
Li Qingping sat in his seat with his legs crossed, his hands crossed, and an expressionless face. His black suit was still clean, without even a speck of dust on it.
Beside him, the stunned Second Prince had been protected by the "Octave Prism" - it was the fragment of strange news that Li Qingping had used to trap the black pupa that day.
Blue Arc was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the other guest who survived the explosion.
Surprisingly... the guest was sleeping motionless on the chair.
That’s right…still sleeping.
Zhou Jiuya rested his elbows on the armrests, his fists against his cheeks, taking a nap in solitude. A layer of light golden light enveloped his body, isolating him from the outside world.
The aftermath of the explosion dissipated, and the auction hall was completely silent. One could even hear Zhou Jiuya's faint snoring.
At the same time, the auction table was not affected at all by the explosion.
Team member No. 7 Robert slowly walked to the wall of the auction table, put his right hand on the wall, and casually created a wooden door.
Then he turned the doorknob.
Pushing open the wooden door, behind it was an abandoned building.
From the abandoned building, loud thunder, along with the sound of wind and rain, came into the auction hall.
At this moment, the 10 members of the White Crow Brigade were scattered above the ruins.
Sensing the "door" that suddenly appeared in a corner of the ruins, ten figures turned their heads and looked expressionlessly at the auction house behind the door, their eyes flashing strangely in the darkness.
Like a gaze from the abyss.
