Chapter 147 Clues, Bird Feathers, Opportunities (asking for monthly tickets)
After sending the message to the ghost bell, Hei Pupa rushed back towards the direction of Guyimai Street District.
After arriving at the door of the house, he grabbed the bottom plate of the air conditioner outdoor unit with a restraint belt, swung to the outside of the room on the second floor, and crawled into the open floor-to-ceiling window.
He stepped lightly on the floor, and when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs, he lifted the restraints and pressed them against the ceiling. His senses penetrated, and he saw Gu Zhuoan walking out of the bathroom on the third floor, with his lower body wrapped in a bath towel and walking into the bedroom.
"Dad is back so soon..."
Ji Minghuan grumbled silently and silently retracted the restraints.
At the last second, he saw Gu Zhuoan pick up the phone on the bed, so he took out the phone from his windbreaker pocket and waited for a moment. Sure enough, Gui Zhong replied to the message.
[Ghost Bell: What information do you know about Hong Yi? ]
[Black Pupa: There is no need to talk about Fan Dongqing, and everyone knows the "Liqing Boat". In addition... I can also tell you the names of the other two members and their code names.]
【Ghost Bell: Say.】
[Black Pupa: Of course I am not helping you unconditionally. If I need you, I hope you can help me find someone.]
[Ghost Bell: Looking for someone? ]
[Black Pupa: The crazy exorcist "Red Street Light", I wonder if Mr. Ghost Bell has heard of his name. ]
Seeing that Zhong Jiujiu hadn't replied to the message for a long time, Ji Minghuan turned his eyes away from the phone screen and nonchalantly took off the restraints on his body.
Then he took off his windbreaker and mask, stuffed the stuff into a cardboard box with restraints, sealed it, and slowly put it back under the closet to prevent his father upstairs from hearing the noise.
Finally, he closed the French window with the restraints, called up the task panel, and checked the progress of the main task.
[Main Mission 2 (Phase 3): Help the super criminal "Ghost Bell" find clues about the Rainbow Wing member. (The member is the murderer who killed "Su Ying")]
Ji Minghuan thought: "Can I find a bug? Report the two names I know to Dad. If the task is completed, it means that one of them accidentally killed Mom."
[Ghost Bell: I've heard of "Red Street Light". He is very famous among the exorcists.]
[Black Pupa: That’s right, I’m looking for him. If you find any clues about the red light through any channel, please let me know…]
[Black Pupa: And if we find the red light, I hope you can help me arrest him. That's all I ask. You hate superhumans who use their powers to kill innocent people the most, don't you?]
【Ghost Bell: Got it.】
[Black Pupa: I have another question, do you know the name "Salvation Society"? ]
[Ghost Bell: Salvation Society?]
[Black Pupa: Yes.]
【Ghost Bell: Never heard of it.】
[Black Pupa: That's a good thing. I'll give you a piece of advice. I hope you don't mention this name when you talk to others, otherwise it will easily bring you into trouble.]
[Ghost Bell: First of all, I am not interested in what the Salvation Society is, let alone chatting with them. Stop talking nonsense and tell me... the information about Hong Yi. If I find out that you are deliberately making things mysterious, I will kill you.]
[Black Pupa: Rainbow Wing's No. 12 member is named "Ajaya", from India, codenamed "Machine Soul Bodhisattva"; their No. 10 member is codenamed "Gothic Doll", a girl from the UK. That's all I can tell you for now.]
【Ghost Bell: What's the difference between this and not saying anything? 】
"Haha, there is indeed no difference between saying it and not saying it." Ji Minghuan shrugged.
The idea of using a bug to complete the main mission failed. Either the information provided was not detailed enough, or these two people were not the murderers of Su Ying.
[Black Pupa: That makes sense.]
[Black Pupa: This is just a trial run. After your good son joins Rainbow Wing, I will cooperate with him to get more intelligence.]
[Ghost Bell: I can't possibly allow him to join Hongyi.]
[Black Pupa: You can't stop him, and he can't stop you either.]
After sending this message, Ji Minghuan turned off his cell phone and lay down on the bed.
He stared at the ceiling in a daze, his mind racing.
"Next, I have to quickly help my brother enter Rainbow Wing, and then have him help me approach and investigate 'Urushihara Ruri'. It has been confirmed that this Rainbow Wing member has a direct connection with the Salvation Society."
"If she is the one who killed Gu Qiye's mother, then it will be easier to deal with. If we directly interrogate her, we may be able to find out where the base of the Salvation Society is."
Ji Minghuan opened the gear panel and brought out the development progress bars of the three world views after a long absence.
[Current progress of the worldview development of the "Psychic" branch: 40% → 62% (↑22%) (Click here to receive 1 split point as a worldview development reward)]
[Current development progress of the "Exorcist" branch's worldview: 60% → 68 (↑8%)]
[Current progress of the worldview development of the "Strange News" branch: 30% → 60 (↑30%) (Click here to receive 1 split point as a worldview development reward)]
"I have already received the reward for the Exorcist. Have the development progress of the other two branches also met the target?" Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his hand and clicked on the two prompt boxes.
【2 split points have been obtained.】
He called up the gear panel, turned to the last page, and turned on the option to [Split Game Character].
[The split progress has not been completed yet, and a new game character cannot be created for the time being. 】
[Currently has 5 split points]
[Tip: The number of split points required to create the next new game character is: 15 (after collecting a total of 15 split points, you can create the next "game character" in the real world)]
Ji Minghuan stared at the numbers on the panel, thinking in his heart.
"I need 10 more split points to create Unit 4. It seems very unlikely. I have two months at most to rescue the main body from the Salvation Society. I don't know if I can create Unit 4 in these two months."
"No... If you think about it this way, as long as we find a chance to rescue my real body during our first mission outside the Savior Society, there will be less trouble."
"Let's not talk about whether this is a trap set by the Salvation Society. The question is, do I have enough combat power to break through... If I fail, won't my father and my eldest daughter be buried there?"
"'Red light'... Should I seize this opportunity, or should I just play it safe and give it up?"
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan took a deep breath and closed all the panels in his field of vision.
He closed his eyes and synchronized his consciousness with Unit 3, Yakubaru.
In another corner of the world, in a whale's box garden, in a floating castle.
The third unit, Little Shark, woke up from the crystal ball, opened his eyes, and looked through the glass at César lying on the bed.
Cesar still looked depressed. He crossed his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
After a moment, he suddenly called the little shark's name in a low voice: "Yagubaru, Yagubaru..."
"What's wrong?" asked Yagubaru.
"I just went to the Qiwen Library, and this is what I brought back for you secretly." Xizel said, standing up and approaching the crystal ball, and took out two cards with colorless light patterns from his sleeves.
The names of the two cards are "Foraging Garbage Bag" and "The Light That Never Goes Out".
The former's function is to summon a garbage bag that will eat its own garbage;
The function of the latter is to release a light that will not go out, and can be held in the palm of your hand as a light source.
Yagubaru took a look and found that the two cards were both "common" anecdote fragments, which were the lowest level anecdote fragments. But it was better than having nothing to eat. So it said:
"I can't handle you like this. You throw the odd shards into the crystal ball."
Xizel was stunned: "Throw it into the crystal ball? Are you sure?"
Yagubaru nodded the shark's head and blinked his eyes as he stared at Cesar.
"All right."
César hesitated for a moment, opened the opening at the top of the crystal ball, and put the two cards into the sea.
Just as the two cards sank into the water, Yakubaru suddenly opened its mouth. Its mouth expanded more than twice in the seawater and swallowed the two cards directly into its stomach.
Then, a dark blue and white prompt box slowly appeared in the pupil.
[Has swallowed two "general-level" oddity fragments, triggering the effect of the exclusive training system "Oddity Taotie", your real body size increases by 1 meter. ]
[Unit 3 - Eternal Shark "Akubaru" changes in size: 102m → 103m. ]
Ji Minghuan thought: "Two of the most useless pieces of oddities can only increase my size by 1 meter. This is too slow. I have to find a chance to eat something good. If all else fails, I might as well trick the Third Prince's 'Christmas Sleigh' into eating it. It's useless to him anyway."
Thinking of this, he looked up from the crystal ball and saw César leaning against the glass, looking at the little shark curiously.
"How amazing! Yagubaru, you can actually eat the fragments of strange news!" he said with emotion.
"Really?" Yagubaru said, "And the more pieces I swallow, the stronger I will grow, and I can help you beat people in the future."
"Don't konob sharks ever grow in size?"
"I am the aristocrat among sharks. I am different from those low-energy Nobel sharks."
"Okay." Xizel curled his lips, "Then I will bring you some fragments every day."
"Deal!" said Yagubaru. "Give me your Christmas sleigh if you can!"
Xizel was stunned: "No, this is a rare story for generations. My father will be angry if he knows..."
"Okay, I'm just kidding." Yagubaru puffed up his cheeks.
"By the way, Yagubaru, Li Qingping came to me just now and gave me this." Xizel said, taking out a ochre-red bird feather from his pocket.
"What's this?"
"Li Qingping said it was a 'fowl feather'. He told me to keep the feather with me and not show it to anyone. If there was any danger, I could take it out."
"Luckily, Shark, I'm not a human."
"Yeah, well, it won't be considered a violation of the agreement if I show it to the shark."
"So, this feather is useful to birds?" Yagubaru said, and then changed his words to avoid being a bad influence on the children: "I'm not insulting you... I mean, it's useful to the phoenix. Is the phoenix useful?"
Xizel thought for a moment and said, "'Maybe a miracle will happen'... That's what Li Qingping told me."
Ji Minghuan thought for a moment and felt that what Li Qingping left for Xizel should be a self-defense item. So he controlled the No. 3 machine and said, "Okay, then you keep this feather with you for the time being, and don't tell anyone else except me. Not even the housekeeper, we have an agreement."
"I understand." Xizel smiled and silently put the phoenix feather back into his pajama pocket.
"It seems that Li Qingping has also kept a backup plan... Then the third prince is in a much safer situation. Unless the eldest prince and the second prince are so cruel as to mobilize the royal court team to assassinate Xi Zeer, I will have no problem saving Xi Zeer's life in the short term."
Thinking of this, Yagubaru glanced at the sky outside the window through the crystal ball and said, "Go to sleep, Xizel, it's already dark."
"Good night, Yakubaru."
"Good night, Cesar."
After the man and the shark said good night to each other, Cesar closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Yagubaru quietly opened his eyes in the darkness, staring at the bedroom door. Soon after, the door was quietly and gently pushed open, and a figure in butler's clothes walked in step by step, his face gradually exposed in the moonlight.
It was exactly Cesare's butler - "Ikar".
"As expected...butlers are either loyal or traitors." Yagubaru thought, "Can we all take 'Oda Takikage' as the benchmark of the industry?"
