Chapter 145: Swallowing Silver vs. Ghost Bell, will he win? (asking for monthly votes)
The sun was setting in the west, and the red afterglow passed through the branches and fell into the western restaurant. The five people in the group sat on the sofa, and the waiter handed them wine glasses on a dark plate.
The blood descendant poured a glass of whiskey, raised his eyes from the glass and looked at Xia Pingzhou who was sitting opposite him.
She asked, "How... do you know this Bernardo?"
Xia Pingzhou was stunned for a second. A gust of sea breeze blew in from the window, and his black hair swayed in the wind. Before coming here, he would never have thought that the new member of the brigade would be such a genius.
"I don't know him." He said slowly.
The moment Ji Minghuan heard the name "Bernardo Edward" from the blood descendant's mouth, the thoughts in his mind were directly ignited.
He thought: "If I had chosen the No. 1 character record 'Nameless Man' when creating the No. 3 machine, then I would have had the opportunity to meet 'Bernardo'... Bernardo is the leader of the 'Black Death Cult', standing on the opposite side of the Whale Box Garden, and is the culprit who caused the king to contract the Black Death."
He knew that the team leader was popular, but he didn't know that the team leader actually knew this kind of person.
Xia Pingzhou changed his mind and thought: No... the hacker said that it was Bernardo who took the initiative to contact the leader and wanted to join the White Crow Brigade.
According to Cesare, Bernardo seemed to have somehow infected the King of the Whale's Box Garden with the "Black Death" - from this point of view, there was most likely a cooperative relationship between Bernardo and the eldest prince and the second prince.
If Bernardo is really cooperating with the eldest prince and the second prince, then he is most likely just pretending to be nice. His real goal is the treasure in the whale box garden, or those strange fragments in the royal palace. He will definitely bite back when he finds an opportunity later.
Thinking this way, it makes sense why Bernardo joined the brigade...
He wanted to use this opportunity to convey the information that "the king is seriously ill" to the captain, and tell him that this is an opportunity - an opportunity to invade the whale's box garden and plunder.
Then, they followed the White Crow Brigade into the interior of the Legendary Whale and attacked the Royal Court.
"Bernardo is an evil gossip messenger. Even if the eldest and second princes cooperate with him, they can't reveal much information to him. The intelligence Bernardo provides is limited to 'the king is suffering from the Black Death and will not live long. The royal court is about to face great turmoil.'"
"Assuming that Bernardo has provided the captain with preliminary intelligence, the captain will be convinced to a certain extent and begin to consider whether to accept his proposal."
"At this time, I will let Black Pupa find the captain and provide more in-depth information. In this way, the captain's acceptance of this information will definitely increase significantly. It is very likely that he will seriously consider whether to take action against the Whale Box Garden."
Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou asked, "When can we meet this newcomer?"
Andrew scooped up some red wine with a spoon, and the ice cubes swayed slightly in the glass. He said:
"Brother... ask the hacker. He is usually in charge of these kinds of things in the group."
"All right."
Xia Pingzhou responded casually and glanced at Andrew's expression.
For some reason, Andrew looked very depressed today, with dark circles under his eyes, which was very different from the flirty and dissolute cowboy uncle image in the past.
Andrew paused: "I used to...come here to eat with Lan Duoduo."
He pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery, "At that time, we agreed that if anyone died, his ashes would be taken to Venice and thrown into the sea. In the end, she died without even ashes left..."
Xia Pingzhou lowered his head, moved closer to the straw, and took a sip of the whiskey.
He turned his head and looked out the window. Under the setting sun, the cruise ship carrying passengers shuttled through the water lanes, and he could hear the faint sound of flutes. He had nothing to do, so he synchronized his consciousness with the No. 1 unit.
Another corner of the world, the Guyimai district.
The time difference between Venice and Lijing is seven hours. Lijing is ahead in time, so it is still dusk there, while the city here is already shrouded in darkness.
Gu Wenyu suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the time on the wall in the moonlight. It was eleven o'clock in the evening.
He extended black restraints from his body, like two small snakes, reaching out to the rooms in front and behind. The moment the tails touched the two walls, his senses penetrated the walls, and the images of the two rooms in front and behind were reflected in his pupils.
In the dark room, Gu Qiye was lying on the bed, soundly sleeping;
In another room, Su Zimai seemed unable to bear the heat, so he slept on the floor next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The brother and sister had very different sleeping positions. One of them was sleeping fairly straight with his hands on his abdomen; the other was lying on her side on the bed holding a huge Rilakkuma doll, her body slightly curled up, the moonlight shining on her sleeping face.
Seeing that the brother and sister were sleeping so soundly, Ji Minghuan couldn't help but yawn and slowly retracted the restraints.
He dug out his phone from his pillow and put it on silent mode. Then he opened the browser and logged into some of the Dark Web sites in his favorites. On the surface, most of these sites were illegal and prohibited from being accessed.
However, many people still tacitly observe the recent movements of the aliens on the dark web. The authorities will not punish those who browse the alien dark web. For example, its nature is similar to that of pornographic websites.
He flipped through the live broadcast column of the "Lijing Zone". The most popular live broadcast room at the moment was "The Alien · Swallowing Silver is tracking down the superpower criminal 'Ghost Bell'".
The fixed cover of the live broadcast room is set to a cute anthropomorphic cartoon hamster.
The hamster had a grim expression, wore a silver uniform, and held a miniature model of the Tokyo Tower in his hand - it was the famous painting "Silver-Swallowing Hamster and Tokyo Tower" created by Black Pupa in Japan.
Ji Minghuan's eyes lit up slightly in the darkness. He didn't expect that after not seeing this painting for a few days, it had become a stereotype of swallowing silver in people's minds.
Even in the illegal live broadcast rooms related to swallowing silver, this funny graffiti will be specially hung on the cover.
"Silver Swallow must love me to death. I gave him a wave of traffic from heaven. Soon I will be able to help him become a top figure in China and share some of the pressure from public opinion on Big Brother."
Ji Minghuan admired in his heart, but his attention had been drawn to his own paintings. He only noticed the title of the live broadcast room at this moment. He stayed where he was and muttered belatedly, "Wait, who is the Silver Swallowing Rat chasing... Ghost Ghost Bell?"
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted in his heart, "No, if you die, who will entertain me? You must hold on until Uncle Black Pupa arrives to rescue you!"
So he used the restraints to dig out the box from the bottom of the closet and unpacked it, while sending a message to Gui Zhong on his cell phone.
[Black Pupa: Well, actually, Tunyin is also my collaborator. I hope you can spare his life, Mr. Ghost Bell.]
To his surprise, his father actually replied to the message.
[Ghost Bell: Come and take your man away, or I will kill him. ]
Ji Minghuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing his father didn't plan to take action.
After the auction, he and Gu Zhuoan officially reached a cooperative relationship.
After all, Black Pupa saved Blue Arc in front of Ghost Bell - at that time, Oda Takikage had already put a knife to Blue Arc's neck. If Black Pupa had not appeared at the auction that day, Ghost Bell would have been threatened with Blue Arc's life by the people of the Riders, and the best outcome would probably be that he would be buried on the spot together with Blue Arc.
Although Father Gui Zhong acted on impulse, he would not go to such an extent that he would reject Hei Pupa's invitation to cooperate.
Ji Minghuan used a restraint belt to take out the long-unseen dark red and white mask and black swallowtail windbreaker from the box. He was too lazy to even take off his pajamas and just put the windbreaker on.
Put on the mask, raise your hand to the side of your ear and press the fixed button.
The black restraints instantly wrapped around his entire body, restraining his breath and entering stealth mode. He then extended a restraint to the right and grabbed the windowsill. His figure suddenly flew lightly to the right and disappeared into the moonlight outside the window.
At the same time, Hongyue Commercial Street.
The crowd had already been evacuated, and on the empty street, neon signs flickered on and off amid the ringing of bells.
A figure wearing a black cloak and a Z-shaped breathing mask stood on the long street like a crow.
Tunyin, dressed in a metallic silver uniform, stood above the traffic light with his shoulders folded, staring down at the ghost clock.
"Stop struggling, you can't escape..." Tunyin said coldly, as if sentencing the other person to death.
If it was the previous swallowing of silver, he would definitely be thrown away by the ghost bell early.
But his superpowers have undergone a rapid improvement in recent days, which is what superpower users commonly call "superpower evolution" - generally only after years of training superpowers, when the training reaches a bottleneck, there is a chance for the superpowers to evolve.
However, the evolution of superpowers can also occur in another situation: that is, when the superpower user falls into an "extreme emotion", such as the sudden death of the entire family, or the desire to survive in a near-death situation.
Or... being humiliated to the extreme.
Tunyin was obviously experiencing the last form of evolution. Every night he would blow up a hundred sandbags with photos of "Black Pupa" on them. Amidst his roars of rage and helplessness, his supernatural powers underwent an evolution.
After the evolution of superpowers, Silver-Swallowing's physical fitness has been comprehensively strengthened, and the abilities generated after swallowing metals have been greatly enhanced.
Not only that, after swallowing metal, he can lock the position of a corresponding metal in a short period of time.
The association also provided him with the raw materials for making the Ghost Bell uniform. So within an hour after he swallowed the raw materials, as long as the Ghost Bell was within a kilometer around him, Tun Yin could accurately find his location.
This time he came well prepared, he wanted to try... how strong he would be after evolving.
"Get lost..." Gui Zhong lowered his face, staring directly at Tun Yin with his scarlet pupils, "You are no match for me, don't ask for trouble."
It was obvious that he had delayed taking action against Tunyin for such a long time because he cared about the fact that Tunyin was his son's partner.
At first, Gui Zhong thought he could easily shake off this guy, but he didn't expect that every time he had just shaken off the guy, Tun Yin could accurately find his position and follow him like a mad dog with a keen sense of smell.
In the end, Gui Zhong had no choice but to stop and fight Tun Yin on this long street.
Tunyin still kept his hands on his shoulders, and the metal of his battle suit shone coldly under the moonlight.
"You still think I'm the same person I used to be?"
However, just as he was about to take action, Tun Yin suddenly saw an incredible scene:
A huge, pitch-black insect pupa suddenly appeared under a billboard between him and Gui Zhong.
This giant pupa just hung upside down quietly in the middle of the long street, with the neon lights illuminating its body.
Gui Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked up, staring at the insect pupa motionlessly, muttering softly, "It's quite good at pretending."
Tun Yin was completely stunned where he stood.
The next moment, his tense and solemn expression instantly collapsed, and his inner emotions burst out like a collapsed dam.
At this moment, Tunyin's arms spread out to both sides, and he leaned over like a wild beast, clenching his five fingers suddenly.
His whole body was trembling, and he shouted angrily, word by word:
"Black——!!! Pupa——!!!"
"Oh... Isn't this our glutton who loves to eat batteries, Tokyo Tower, and gold nuggets - Mr. 'Silver Swallow'?"
First, a faint voice came from the giant cocoon, and then the cocoon slowly opened outward, and a young man wearing a black tuxedo and a dark red mask crawled out.
He was hanging upside down under an advertising sign, holding a psychology book in his hand. The name of the book was "Never Try to Reason with a Stupid Cow".
"I know you like me very much, but you don't have to be so enthusiastic. It's not very friendly to my ears." Black Pupa shook his head, "You know, even the best friends must maintain a certain distance, otherwise it will be easy to... become enemies."
At this moment, Tun Yin's eyes were filled with countless bloodshot lines, and they were terribly red, and even his breathing became a hundred times heavier.
But Black Pupa ignored him and looked up at Ghost Bell, stretched out a restraint belt and waved goodbye to him:
"GOGOGO, Mr. Ghost Bell, I suggest you leave here immediately. This stupid cow must like me more than you."
Gui Zhong withdrew his gaze from the black pupa, sneered coldly, and turned away, dragging his black cloak that looked like a crow's tail feathers.
Watching Ghost Bell leave, Black Pupa breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly lowered his eyes to look at Tunyin standing at the traffic light, and said faintly:
"It seems that you have missed me so much during my trip to Japan?"
