Chapter 13 Nickname
July 9, 2020, late at night, 23:00, Guyimai Community.
After the private meeting on the trail, Ji Minghuan relied on the high mobility of the restraint belt to quickly shuttle between the streets and high-rise buildings. The glass curtain wall reflected his flying figure. In the reflection, the metal edges of the mask were set off by the cold moonlight.
Looking from a distance, his figure was like a streaking dark cloud, flying, swirling, and falling. The back of his dark tuxedo was blown up and squeezed back and forth by the wind above the city, making a rustling sound like a sail drifting on the Atlantic Ocean.
He avoided all surveillance areas on the road, places brightly lit by neon lights, and especially the bustling night markets. At this point, Lijing's nightlife had just begun, and the long street was full of people, many of whom stopped under the giant LED screen to watch real-time news from the city center.
Fortunately, Gu Qinye returned home before him in the end, otherwise the situation would have been difficult to clean up.
To be on the safe side, Ji Minghuan did not enter directly from the front door, but chose to use a restraint belt to share his own gravity, jumped to the eaves of the second floor, and fell into his room through the open floor-to-ceiling window.
Then he walked towards the bed without looking back and closed the window from behind with the restraints, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the city.
He raised his hand to his ear and took off the black mask with a built-in voice changer, then threw the swallowtail windbreaker he was wearing on the ground. He was too tired to move for even a second, so he fell backwards and collapsed directly on the bed, using a restraint belt to help himself change into a clean pair of pajamas.
After changing his clothes like a close-knit mistress, the restraints flying at her side picked up the mask and windbreaker on the ground, put them into the storage box at the bottom of the wardrobe, and then slipped back into Ji Minghuan's sleeves.
To be honest, he looked carefree in front of everyone just now, hanging upside down under the billboard and still able to read a book with ease. In fact, Ji Minghuan was really puzzled. When he was hanging upside down in the air, he had to use a restraint belt to pull the hem of his windbreaker on his body;
Otherwise, as soon as he opened his mouth, the hem of his windbreaker would fall down and completely cover his mask, and that scene would probably amuse everyone.
"Our comrade Blue Arc hasn't come back yet. It's really not easy..."
Ji Minghuan yawned and muttered in the dark.
He knew in his heart that Gu Qiye's actions could not be so fast. After all, Gu Qiye was different from him. He was an official psychic.
Gu Qiye needed to complete the task and return to the association to report relevant matters, especially since he had just thrown away Green Wing and chose to leave Lijing Square and go to a nearby remote path to meet alone with the insect pupa man played by Ji Minghuan.
Although in that situation, Green Wing was indeed caught in a trap and the alien team had surrounded him from all sides of the square, Gu Qiye's behavior is still questionable.
After all, Ji Minghuan had just used some inflammatory language like "Would you like to come and meet me?" It was hard for others not to guess when they saw this scene that the Insect Pupa Man asked Blue Arc to meet him alone in order to discuss some shady topics with him.
There were no surveillance cameras in that place, and it was far away from residential areas and urban areas, so naturally no one knew about the conversation between the two. Therefore, the association would definitely question Gu Qiye seriously about this matter in order to find out the background of this psychic who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Of course, Ji Minghuan was not worried that this would cause any trouble to Gu Qinye.
He felt that Gu Qinye would play dumb in front of his leader, or rather, he could only play dumb, as there was no other way out.
After all, in Gu Qiye's eyes, the "insect pupa man" of unknown origin still holds his identity and motives in his hands. If his conversation with the insect pupa man is revealed in the report, then it is obvious that the one in danger is not the insect pupa man, but Gu Qiye himself.
I'm afraid only a fool would reveal the entire conversation just now in such an occasion.
Gu Qinye obviously wouldn't be stupid enough to make that kind of mistake.
So when faced with the association's questioning, he could most likely only use excuses like "I was injured, my speed slowed down, and I couldn't catch him" to get away with it, especially since he had just participated in two arrest operations against supernatural criminals and was seriously injured. This was like a life-saving card.
Considering his injuries and past achievements, the people in the association will certainly not push the issue and will soon let him go back to recuperate and put the matter on hold for the time being.
It started raining outside the window.
There was a sound of drizzling rain. Ji Minghuan opened his eyes and stared at the rain-soaked window for a while.
Big raindrops hit the eaves, shattered into mist and climbed up the window.
After a while, he raised his hand and clicked the gear icon in the lower right corner of the field of vision, opened the system panel, and called out the main task.
[Main Mission 1 (Phase 2): Establish a cooperative relationship with the Outlier "Blue Arc", and then develop relationships within the Outlier Association. (Unfinished)]
It is completely impossible to make Gu Qinye believe him at this point, not to mention that the cooperation between the two has not officially started yet, so this task is currently in a "to be completed" state.
However, Ji Minghuan was not in a hurry at all, because the initiative was always in his hands.
As long as his original body hasn't been operated on by those bastards in the laboratory, he will have plenty of time to use this body to jump around in Lijing in the future.
Based on his understanding of Gu Qinye, it was only a matter of time to gain the other party's trust.
If he still cannot gain his trust, Ji Minghuan might try to do something bad, put forward some conditions that the other party cannot refuse, and change the "cooperation" into a unilateral "threat". After all, his body is still in a life-and-death situation, and he has no time to play house with them here.
"Oh, yes... I just received the mission reward." Ji Minghuan's eyes lit up.
He still remembered that he had just completed the first stage of this main line, "Exploring what secrets Gu Qinye is hiding", and then received the task rewards, which were - 1 split point, 1 skill point, and 1 attribute point, which sounded very generous.
I got up from the bed and opened my personal panel. Densely packed words filled my eyes like ants.

Seeing that the annotation text in the nickname column had changed, Ji Minghuan guessed casually:
