Chapter 151 Questions, Arrangements, Escape Plan (asking for monthly tickets)
"You said, mom is an exorcist?"
"Yes, think carefully about whether this is possible."
On a summer morning, the white sheets drying on the rooftop fluttered in the warm breeze, children rode their bicycles and played through the streets and alleys, and the cicadas in the trees chirped non-stop.
However... at this moment, the atmosphere in the living room of the house was solemn. Gu Wenyu silently turned on the indoor fan, while Su Zimai turned on the air conditioner. The living room became cool for a while, and their troubles seemed to fade away along with the summer heat.
Both of them have superhuman physiques. Air conditioning and fans can't make them catch a cold. Adding the wind and rain, they are no problem. Ji Minghuan originally thought so until Su Zimai sneezed in front of him:
"Ah-Qiu!"
When people buy a refrigerator, they also give a fan for free. If you contract a refrigerator demon, won’t you also give a cold-resistant physique? Ji Minghuan was speechless.
Su Zimai raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his red nose, then frowned and turned his head, looking at Ji Minghuan suspiciously: "Are you serious, mom is an exorcist?"
"Yes, yes, of course I am serious. Don't you think it is very likely?" Ji Minghuan said seriously, "Since you are an exorcist, then it is very likely that one of my father and mother is an exorcist, right?"
He paused and said, "Not to mention my dad, a useless Muggle who only knows how to drink, maybe my mom is actually an exorcist?"
Su Zimai remained silent, his little brain spinning and turning until it was overloaded and started buzzing.
She lowered her head and thought for a long time before looking up: "Impossible!"
"Why not? Think about it carefully." Ji Minghuan continued to guide his sister, "Mom's living habits, or the details of her behavior that she inadvertently reveals, are they similar to those of you exorcists?"
"I'm thinking about it, are you annoying?" Su Zimai said, "And it's useless to think about it. If my mother is really an exorcist, why didn't the leader tell me? Before I joined the Exorcist Association, the leader investigated my background."
"Are you sure your mother isn't from the Exorcist Association?"
"If I say it's not true, then it's not true." Su Zimai frowned, "Ask about suicide again."
"Oh, then I killed myself."
"It's me who wants to commit suicide, not you!" Su Zimai said angrily.
As she was talking, she suddenly remembered that the night before, Gu Wenyu accidentally fell off a pigeon and almost made her perform a 100-meter high-altitude flying trapeze. She was so anxious that tears came to her eyes, and Gu Wenyu even touched her head, which made her lose face in front of her brother.
Su Zimai's face suddenly became hot and flushed.
If she were put in a cartoon for children, steam would already be coming out of her head.
"Then jump off the building quickly, sister. Let me inherit your Heavenly Exorcist and become a legendary exorcist."
"Get out! If I had known I would not have saved you the night before yesterday. If I had saved you, you would only piss off your good sister like me to death!" Su Zimai frowned and shouted.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally even her ears turned red. She suddenly turned her head and raised her middle finger at Gu Wenyu, then turned off the TV with the remote control, stood up and walked to the stairs, went up to the second floor, leaving only a cold back.
Ji Minghuan collapsed back and fell on the sofa in a Ge You-like posture, thinking that only when his brother and father were not at home would the two dare to talk about these things so blatantly and unscrupulously.
He leaned his head against the back of the sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze: "My sister said Ke Qirui investigated our family background, but she said that my mother is not an exorcist... Then whether this new member is my mother remains to be discussed."
"Forget it. I'll be able to see this new member in a few days anyway. Then I can see with my own eyes whether she is related to my mother. But if she is really my mother, my brother will lose his motivation to join Hongyi. I also want to rely on him to help me get close to Urushihara Ruri... The situation has become complicated all of a sudden."
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan sighed slightly.
He thought to himself, Mom, Mom, if it really is you, you'd better hurry up and lie back in the coffin. How can I and I live in this family with you around?
Ji Minghuan placed his hands on his abdomen, as if his mother had just died, and lay listlessly on the sofa, blowing the air conditioner and fan for a while, then slowly opened his mouth and sneezed: "Aqiu——!"
"Oh no... I've been infected by the refrigerator demon. Why would a dragon-level psychic like me catch a cold?" He muttered as he raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, then slowly closed his eyelids and synchronized his consciousness with the body of the third machine, Yagubaru.
The little shark opened his eyes in the crystal ball and looked out the window at the blood-red twilight.
The time in the whale's box garden is similar to that in Lijing. It is also daytime outside. To be precise, there is no daytime in the box garden world, only dusk. So for the people living here, daytime is equivalent to dusk.
At this moment, the third prince, Xizel, was staying in his bedroom, looking pale and haggard. He was hugging his pillow in a daze, like an exquisite doll, with his snow-white hair hanging down, covering his clear blue eyes.
Seeing that Cesare did not say a word for a long time, the shark in the crystal ball ignored him. It knew that the butler Icarus had just been beheaded, and it was the second prince Cosimo who executed him. Cesare must be feeling bad at this time.
He had just lost one of his dearest people, and this dearest person was killed by another dearest person. Anyone would doubt their life, not to mention that César was only a twelve-year-old child.
"Cesare Cesar, without a butler, who will cook for you in the future?" asked Little Shark.
Cesar said nothing.
"Why are you ignoring me?" The little shark puffed up his cheeks.
"Yagubaru... the Queen Mother will be here soon, so remember to keep your mouth shut in front of her." Xizel said softly, "If she knew you could speak, she would definitely tell my sick father about it, and then my father would have someone take you away from me."
"Of course, I must stay by your side so that those bad guys can't bully you."
"Thank you... Yagubaru." Xizel's voice was hoarse and tired, and his eyes were a little red and swollen.
"Are you willing to believe now that your brother..." Yagubaru hesitated to speak.
Xizel interrupted him coldly: "Let's not talk about this for now, okay?"
Yagubaru nodded silently and swung his tail in the crystal ball to play with the waves.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door and someone pushed open the dormitory door from the outside. Shark looked through the glass of the crystal ball and saw a young woman with an elegant temperament wearing a luxurious black and gold long dress.
The queen of the Whale Garden, Kaliliana, had waist-length blonde hair and eyes as blue as the sea under the setting sun. Her face was slightly worried.
It was not until the queen visited that some color appeared on César's face, and his empty eyes regained a bit of brilliance.
"Mother..." He slowly raised his eyes from his knees and looked sideways at Kaliliana.
Kaliliana walked over with her long skirt, glanced at the Nobe Shark in the crystal ball, then turned to look at César: "César, are you okay? The servants told me that you didn't leave the castle all day and didn't want to eat."
"I'm fine, mother." Xizel whispered, "I'm just wondering... why did my brothers kill Ikar without telling me... I'm the one who knows Ikar best, and he's a very good person."
Kaliliana sat down beside the bed, raised her hand, and gently stroked his white hair: "Good boy, your father has arranged a new butler for you. He will replace Ikar tomorrow and come here to take care of your daily life."
Seeing that Xizel remained silent, she paused, lowered her voice and continued: "Father is sick and can't protect you. Xizel must protect yourself, you must be brave."
After saying that, Kaliliana placed her cheek against the top of Cesar's head and gently caressed the back of his head.
Xi Zeer was silent for a moment: "Mother, why did father get the Black Death?"
Kaliliana was also silent for a while: "Xizel, you don't have to worry about these things. Your father and I will get through it... Also, a week later, on August 1st, your father has arranged something for you."
In the crystal ball, Yagubaru, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, was slightly stunned and called up the main task.
[Main Mission 2 (Phase 2): Protect the third prince "Cesare" from the assassination of the first and second princes, and ensure that the third prince "Cesare" survives until August 1.]
Yagubaru stared at the black and blue text on the panel and thought, "So that's how it is... No wonder we have to protect him until August 1st."
Xizel slowly raised his head and met Kaliliana's loving gaze, "What did father arrange for me?"
Kaliliana said: "Father wants you to leave the whale box for a while."
"Why?" Xizel was stunned.
Kaliliana leaned over and kissed his forehead, which was so white that it was almost transparent. "Father knows that you have always wanted to see the outside world, so he wants to give you a chance. He also said that after you come back from your experience in the outside world, he will pass on the throne to you."
"But I don't want the throne."
"You are a rare genius in the Whale Box Garden in thousands of years. If it's not you, who else could it be? You also know that father likes you more than your two brothers."
Xizel was silent for a while: "Mother, please tell father for me that I will leave here on August 1st and go to the outside world to find the legendary 'Holy Grail' for him. I... will definitely bring the antidote to cure father's illness."
A hint of a smile appeared on Kaliliana's lips, showing worry but also a hint of pride.
"Well, you and the Queen Mother agreed that you must protect yourself when you are outside," she said.
"I will."
"By the way... the king also said that he would let Li Qingping leave here with you."
"Li Qingping?"
Xizel murmured softly, and his dull eyes lit up slightly.
"That's right," Kaliliana smiled silently, "The king also knows that he is your favorite guard of the royal court. Besides, doesn't Li Qingping dislike staying in the box garden? It just so happens... he must be willing to take you out for a walk."
"Okay, mother, but...if Li Qingping doesn't want to, please don't force him. I can do it alone."
Kaliliana nodded, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Xizel, there will be a celebration on Central Island tomorrow. The members of the Royal Court team will play an exhibition match. When the time comes, Queen Mother will come to find you, and you will watch the match with Queen Mother."
She paused and said, "Your two brothers will also come to watch the game. But father is not in good health and cannot come."
Upon hearing this, Little Shark's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "Wang Ting's match? Then I can take a look at the strength of the other members of Wang Ting's team, and compare them with Li Qingping, and I can immediately see their level."
"I will go, mother." Xizel said softly, "but I am very tired now...please let me rest alone for a while."
Kaliliana slowly let go of his head, slowly stood up from the bed, turned her head to look at him, and then slowly walked away, dragging her tail-feather-like skirt.
