Chapter 170 Xia Pingzhou: That is the woman who can become my mother (asking for monthly votes)
July 24, 6pm, Venice Hotel.
"Kitten, wake up." The girl's lukewarm voice came into his ears.
Xia Pingzhou woke up and opened his eyes on the plain white bed. He saw a familiar ceiling. He had been sleeping in this hotel for several days.
"Kitten, move." The girl's tone was as if she was voice-controlling an intelligent robot.
Xia Pingzhu was in a daze for a while, then he stood up from the bed, leaned his back against the headboard, and slowly turned his head to look at Ayase Origami who was sitting on the windowsill.
She was wearing a simple dress in cool tones, which made her fair skin look almost transparent.
"Why did you wake me up?" he asked casually, yawning.
"Newcomer," she said.
The dusk outside the window gradually deepened, the background color of the sky gradually changed between crab blue and blood red, and the kite swayed up to the sky. The evening wind blew in, and the cold-colored hem of the dress fluttered in the wind.
"Newcomer?"
Xia Pingzhou muttered, took out the mobile phone beside the pillow, turned on the screen and took a look at the received text message.
【Hacker: The new No. 4 has come to your side. 】
"Tongzizhu?" Xia Pingzhou thought, "Although I really want to get close to her and ask about the relationship between her and Unit 1's mother, I have to go to London tomorrow to stake out the situation and find out where Red Light is."
[Hacker: You must be thinking now that it's time to get close to her and find another gigolo in the group. ]
[Hacker: Hey, is this our pretty boy? All the female members except the Ripper are very caring towards you.]
"Then you can guess why there is no Ripper." Xia Pingzhou thought.
If he hadn't been afraid of feeling guilty about killing her, he would have clung to her long ago.
Suddenly, he raised his hand naturally and took the apple that Ayase Origami handed to him with the suspended newspaper. The apple had been shaved with a paper knife, and a circle of apple skin was still in the newspaper.
After taking a bite of the apple, he continued typing and hit send.
[Xia Pingzhou: It’s just a stereotype. I am an independent young man in the 21st century and I never rely on others for money.]
[Hacker: Anyway, if you flirt with others, I will report you to the young lady.]
[Xia Pingzhou: Then why didn't you complain when I went out with the Bloodline? ]
[Hacker: Because that person is even more important. Her reputation as a long-lived love-chasing old lady is not fake. You don’t really think that she might be interested in you.]
Xia Pingzhou bit the side of the apple clean with a "crunch" sound.
[Xia Pingzhou: It’s a pity that the young lady doesn’t use her mobile phone. She is a primitive person and only uses paper money for payment.]
[Hacker: Is it possible that she only uses paper money because her ability is easy to control and there is no need to reach out and scan the code.]
[Xia Pingzhou: Anyway, she doesn’t have a cell phone.]
[Hacker: It's useless. I can hack into the hotel's TV and play you and your new lover's affectionate scenes on it.]
[Xia Pingzhou: The premise is that I will do that.]
[Hacker: Someone is just short of writing "I'm honest, please let me go" on his face. ]
【Xia Pingzhou: Little brat.】
"Tong Zizhu is a woman who can become my mother," Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes in his mind, "Even though she only changed her face to become my mother, it's scary enough for me, okay?"
Thinking of this, he silently put away his phone and turned to look at Ayase Origami.
The girl tilted her head and quietly looked out the window at the charming water lane, where the afterglow of the setting sun chased the coming and going cruise ships and pedestrians. Although she wanted to wake up Xia Pingzhou and ask him to go shopping with her, he had been sleeping recently, sometimes like he was dead... It made people wonder if he would never open his eyes again after sleeping like this.
Sometimes she would look up from the haiku collection and silently gaze at Xia Pingzhou's profile, thinking that she had told him so much about his past, yet knew nothing about it.
I don't even know whether the name "Xia Pingzhou" is real or fake.
If he suddenly disappears one day, how can I find him?
She couldn't help thinking this.
"When are we going to London?" Ayase Origami lowered her eyes and asked softly.
"The 25th, which is tomorrow," Xia Pingzhou said. "I'll ask the hacker to arrange a flight for us. We'll ask the Ripper tonight if he wants to go with us. Otherwise, we'll just go alone."
Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang. He took a bite of his apple and looked at the message that had just come in.
【Hacker: I want money. 】
[Xia Pingzhou: You haven't given me a portion of the auction fee yet, so just deduct it from it.]
【Hacker: That’s true. 】
"I want to change clothes." Ayase Origami said suddenly.
"You change." Xia Pingzhou was eating an apple while playing Snake on his phone. At this moment, a piece of paper curtain flew over and covered his face, blocking his eyes.
He sighed and thought to himself that I am a blackened elementary school student, not a lecherous elementary school student, so he turned his head to face the wall, and after a moment, the paper curtain covering his back disappeared.
Looking back, I saw that Ayase Origami had changed into an ochre-red kimono. The simple dress she was wearing fell to the ground and was carried to the clothes rack in the room by flying pieces of paper and hung on it.
In fact, Xia Pingzhou didn’t quite understand the eldest lady’s thinking.
Obviously, Ayase Origami bought so many clothes with him in the clothing store a few days ago, but she was only willing to wear them in the hotel room. When it was time to go out, she always wore the same ochre-red kimono that never changed.
He only knew that when he was in the welfare home, those girls were very happy to have one or two little dresses of their own; especially Kong Youling, who had been patching up her white dress for a long time.
Xia Pingzhou threw the apple into the trash can, glanced down at the clothes on the hanger, and asked curiously, "You bought so many pieces of clothes, why did you only try them on in the hotel? Why don't you try wearing them out once?"
Ayase Origami did not answer.
After a moment, she brushed past him and whispered, "There's no point wearing it outside."
Ayase Origami is such an unpredictable person.
Xia Pingzhou lowered his head nonchalantly and continued typing and sending on his mobile phone.
[Xia Pingzhou: By the way, what is the name of the newcomer? ]
[Hacker: Oh, speaking of this, I just found out that Su Ying is a pseudonym, her real name is Tong Zizhu.]
[Xia Pingzhou: Boy bamboo? ]
[Hacker: Let me tell you, I also saw a particularly weird scene. Yesterday in the bank, the black pupa called her mother.]
[Xia Pingzhou: So weird? I'll go find out what the relationship between her and the black pupa is later.]
After sending this message, Xia Ping Zhou left the hotel with Ayase Origami. After walking for a short while, they arrived at a nearby bar and went straight to the corresponding private room.
When he opened the door of the box, except for Bai Tanlang and Bernardo, there were still the same people in the box. But Xia Pingzhou didn't see any newcomers, probably because they just got off the plane and haven't arrived yet.
"There is a latest news," the Blood Descendant took a sip of his drink and said mysteriously, "One of our exorcists was promoted to the third level last night. Guess who it is?"
"The Ripper?" Xia Pingzhou asked.
"Who else?" The Ripper said as he pushed open the door and walked in. She was still wearing the black and white school uniform today, with her collar knitted crookedly and her long straight black hair draped behind her head.
Closing the door casually, she summoned Tianqu, and the dark red dagger suddenly changed into a giant sickle.
"Want to try it with me?" As she said that, she looked up at Xia Pingzhou.
"Forget it now. There will be opportunities in the future." Xia Pingzhou looked at the sickle.
"oh."
The Ripper put his sickle back.
Her Sky Drive had first turned into a sword when it was seriously injured, and now it had become a sickle after the upgrade? Xia Pingzhou wondered.
"What is your current strength?" Xia Pingzhou asked.
"Actually, I'm also quite curious about my current strength..." The Ripper said nonchalantly.
"How do you think you are strong?" The Blood Descendant held his cheeks with both hands and looked at him with a smile.
"If I meet that ghost bell again, I should be able to chop him in half." The Ripper thought.
Bloodline said, "It's hard to say... He is a noble time-based ability user. Even if he killed a disaster-level ability user, I wouldn't find it strange." She paused, "Although our sister the Ripper is not weak either."
Everyone sitting here knows very well that if the captain had not asked Oda Takikage to set up an ambush in advance and hold Blue Arc hostage to threaten Ghost Bell that day, the outcome of the battle in the auction house would have been hard to predict.
Of course, they will definitely win in the end, but it is impossible for them to get away with it unscathed.
The Ripper disagreed: "Didn't the captain say that? The Ghost Clock can only use the ability to 'pause time' when the hands of the clock tower are pointing to 12 o'clock, and the probability of this happening is only one in twelve."
She paused and said, "That means I am 11/12 sure that I can defeat him."
"But others will also improve," Xia Pingzhou said, "Maybe the Ghost Bell has already advanced to the disaster level, and you will be beaten up again if you go to find them."
"Then when will our kitten make some progress?" The Ripper was silent for a moment, then asked coldly, his eyes as dark as the polar night turning to look at Xia Pingzhou.
"It'll be soon. I'll come to challenge you in a month." Xia Pingzhou said calmly.
"Since you dare to provoke me, don't run away when the time comes," said the Ripper.
Andrew drank a large bottle of wine with great gusto, then put down the glass with a "Ha" sound, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and teased slowly:
"Yoshi, I suggest you record a video and upload it to the cat abuse section so that new members who join later can enjoy it!"
"I support it." The blood descendant raised his hand in agreement while drinking.
Suddenly, the papers in the box floated up into the sky, and the air suddenly became cold.
"I forgot, when beating a cat, you have to look at the owner first." The Blood Descendant turned his head and looked at the expressionless Ayase Origami with a smile.
As they were chatting, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the box.
The Ripper stood up, walked over and opened the door. What came into view was a girl with a ponytail and a baseball cap. She was wearing a white casual jacket and jeans.
The box was shrouded in silence, and everyone looked at the newcomer curiously.
Looking at the girl in the baseball cap, one of the people in the box spoke first to break the silence.
"Mom." Xia Pingzhou said suddenly.
The whole audience was silent for a moment, and then they turned their eyes to Xia Pingzhou, shuddering and gasping.
After a pause, Xia Pingzhou added expressionlessly: "I heard from the hacker that Hei Pupa called you 'Mom'."
After hearing this, the surprised expressions on their faces slowly disappeared, but there was still a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
"Ahhh, hahaha, our little brother Xia's performance is still so stable!" Andrew laughed, slapping the table.
"Kitten, panting." said Ayase Origami.
"I'm warning you, half-spoken things can kill you," said the Ripper.
"I thought you had a new habit of recognizing your mother besides your master..."
The blood descendant laughed so hard that he fell backwards and his body was shaking.
Obviously, the one who was most shocked was Tong Zizhu. It was just like when she was looking for a job and entered the company for the first time, and her colleagues came up to her and called her "Mom" as soon as they saw her. Who could resist that?
She stood at the door for a long time, not daring to step in. It was only after a while that she came to her senses.
"Please... You're the second person who came up to me and called me mom. You scared me." Tong Zizhu said as he rubbed his heart and walked in slowly.
"I speak slowly, sorry." Xia Pingzhou nodded in apology.
Tong Zizhu crossed his arms unhappily and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the new No. 4, my name is 'Su Ying', an exorcist, currently at the second level, and I am good at infiltration work."
Xia Pingzhou said: "I heard from the hacker that your real name is 'Tongzizhu'."
Tong Zizhu's eyes twitched slightly, and he tilted his head and sighed: "That boy really took my underwear out. Are all the people in your brigade so perverted?"
"You seem to have a good relationship with hackers recently?" The Bloody raised the corner of his mouth and asked Xia Pingzhou.
"Cats like children," Ayase Origami said, flipping through a collection of haiku poems. "It's normal."
"So...what's your relationship with the black pupa?" Xia Pingzhou looked up at Tong Zizhu.
"I'm not sure of his identity yet, but his mother might be my adoptive mother, or more precisely, my savior," Tong Zizhu said. "That savior is called 'Su Ying'. I'm currently looking for her, so I joined the brigade under this name."
"It seems like we have to send one more person." The Blood Descendant held his cheeks with both hands and said with a smile, "If Bai Tanlang is here too, then we will have all the people."
Xia Pingzhou thought to himself, "Can I say that all the people you three are looking for are related to me?"
