Chapter 191 The Protector, the Approaching Truth (asking for monthly tickets)
The jazz music echoing in the air was coming to an end. At this moment, the interior of the underground bar was dirty and messy, with blood everywhere. There was a headless corpse lying on the ground on its side, and the stench of decay and blood was wafting in the air.
Xia Pingzhou slowly turned his head and looked at the three children in hospital gowns on the somersault cloud.
Behind the three people, a door made of pixels slowly closed, isolating the collapsing "Jurassic World" behind the door, which also meant that they had lost their way of retreat.
"Another group of little brats?" Jack the Ripper raised his eyebrows.
She raised her eyes and took a look at the hospital gowns and metal collars on them, and immediately realized that the three of them and the two children in hospital gowns were in the same group.
The white-haired girl was slightly startled, her eyes widened, and she looked at Sun Changkong with trembling eyelids.
It's like seeing hope.
Ji Minghuan also met Sun Changkong's gaze.
Ayase Origami came in front of Xia Ping Zhou, raised the sleeves of her kimono, and gently pushed him back.
Among the five members of the rescue team, only Mario's reaction was relatively calm at this time.
He turned off the black handheld game console, then looked up from the screen and calmly looked at the five people in front of him.
Mario raised his eyebrows and thought, "Where are those people from before? They all ran away, leaving only one chess player. I thought they were in the same group."
Thinking of this, he began to assess the situation. Mario knew himself well: outside the game scene, he was just a scumbag with a combat power of only five, and he was probably not even an ordinary adult.
So...if we rule out the possibility of Ji Minghuan's sudden explosion, the combat effectiveness of the rescue team can basically only rely on Sun Changkong and Firio.
The woman in school uniform in the bar looks very dangerous, not an ordinary person. The woman in kimono also looks not to be underestimated, at least she is on the same level as the woman on the train just now.
Thinking about it this way, Mario was actually not sure whether he could win, and there were hostages in the hands of the enemy.
"We have to negotiate with them, but... this guy doesn't look like he'd be able to sit down and talk properly." Thinking of this, Mario looked at Sun Changkong who was on the somersault cloud in silence.
Sun Changkong and Firio had the same reaction.
When they saw Ji Minghuan with a sickle on his neck, their first reaction was to stand there at a loss, their eyes wide open and panic written all over their faces.
The next moment, Firion's pupils stood up straight, and the fur on his tail and ears began to become sharp.
"Let them go!" he shouted, his hoarse voice echoing in the silent bar like a low wolf howl.
The Ripper took one look at him and thought: Werewolf? Why does this kid look so strange... and he looks a bit like Bai Tanlang?
"Hold still, little devils," she said. "These two should be with you. If you don't want their intestines ripped out, then be quiet."
Firion wrinkled his nose and gritted his teeth, the violent scarlet in his pupils becoming clearer and clearer.
Like the two children in his hands, the three children in hospital gowns in front of him also gave the Ripper an extremely dangerous feeling.
The most eye-catching thing among them was, of course, the white cloud swirling in the air. For some reason, the scene before the Ripper reminded him of a Chinese myth:
——"Journey to the West".
“Somersault Cloud?” she thought. “A mythical curiosity? Why would such a thing appear in a place like this? It’s really amazing… I guess I have to interrogate this newcomer after I return.”
Thinking of this, the Ripper glanced at Xia Pingzhou's back and suddenly found a conspicuous bloodstain on Xia Pingzhou's back. Blood was flowing down from above, staining his coat and trouser legs red.
"The newcomer is injured?" The Ripper raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Xiao Ling! Ji Minghuan——!"
At this moment, looking at the two people being held hostage, Sun Changkong finally reacted, her fiery red pupils contracted. She tightly grasped the golden hoop stick, stepped on the somersault cloud, and rushed forward in anger.
"Oh... you chose it yourself."
The Ripper looked at the Somersault Cloud that was coming towards him, his face suddenly darkened, and the dark red sickle was spinning in the air.
However, just as the sharp blade was about to touch Ji Minghuan's neck, suddenly a clear light lit up in the underground bar, almost illuminating the entire world.
She was slightly startled, and followed the light source, only to see that the light came from the diamond pattern on the wrists of the five children of the Salvation Society. At this moment, the diamond was shining brightly.
In just a blink of an eye, all five children were engulfed by the sudden light and then disappeared. The Ripper swung his dark red sickle into the air, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a huge cut appeared on the wall in the distance.
"What's going on? Why is it so fast?" The Ripper thought as he looked around vigilantly.
She had never thought that at this distance, there could be anything faster than her sickle... It was simply unbelievable. Logically, she should be able to cut off Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling's heads within 0.1 second.
A moment of silence fell over the underground bar.
"Who are they?" Ayase Origami asked.
Xia Pingzhou shook his head, raised his hand to his forehead and remained silent.
"Not sure... Anyway, they were sent away." The Ripper said expressionlessly.
"Do you want to chase?"
"Don't chase... Don't you realize that your cat can't hold on any longer?" As he said this, the Ripper gestured with his eyes to the horrific wound on Xia Pingzhou's back.
Ayase Origami was startled.
At this moment, Xia Pingzhou slowly closed his heavy eyelids and his body slowly fell forward.
The hollow and gorgeous pupils of the kimono girl reflected the knife scar on his back that was long enough to cut through half of his body. A clear line of blood fell in the air, staining a corner of her white cheek red.
She stayed where she was, and it took her a while to react.
At this moment, only Ji Minghuan himself knew that the wound on Xia Pingzhou's back was not caused by the attack of the Ghost Train Group or the Savior Team...
Instead, before the second machine left the game world, Ji Minghuan ordered the stone statue of the Queen to cut it out on his back with a dagger.
Perhaps only in this way can the people of the White Crow Brigade be somewhat convinced that he was involved in this battle.
After this, we have to rely on the hacker's testimony. If we look at it from the hacker's perspective, it will appear that he led Xia Pingzhou to this underground bar, causing Xia Pingzhou to be involved in a series of events.
The Ripper put away the SkyDrive, put the knife in his left hand back into his clothes, then passed by the dazed girl in kimono and carried Xia Pingzhou from the ground.
She said slowly, "I know an underground private hospital nearby. They can help us take care of him. Fortunately, it is in London."
"Hurry up."
"I know this without you telling me." The Ripper shrugged. "I can't let him die. I have to ask him questions."
The snow-white paper flew out from his sleeves, became soft, and then wrapped around the wound on Xia Pingzhou's back, preventing the blood from gushing out further.
The girl in school uniform took the lead in leaving the underground bar and carried Xia Pingzhou to a nearby private hospital.
After watching the two members of the brigade leave the underground bar, Black Pupa remained hanging upside down from the ceiling for a while, until the London police arrived at the scene. Then he began to take action, mixing his breath into the crowd and evacuating the scene in the chaos.
He concealed his breath and maintained a transparent form. Soon he flew to a corner of London and stopped above an empty train platform.
This is the train station we came from yesterday.
Black Pupa hung upside down under the eaves. He peeled off the restraints on his right hand and took a look at the cell phone wrapped in it.
【Gu Qiye: Where have you been? Why haven't you been seen in the morning and afternoon today, and you haven't replied to my messages.】
【Gu Qiye: Remember to reply when you see this. I will go home to cook tonight.】
Black Pupa rubbed his forehead with a headache.
It was seven o'clock in the morning of July 26th in London time, and almost seven hours later in Lijing time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon there, which meant that in Gu Qinye's eyes, his brother had been missing for a whole morning.
"After I go back, I'll think about how to deal with my brother."
Black Pupa shrugged, ignored Gu Qinye's message, put the phone back into the restraints, remained in the state of a giant pupa, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Ghost Train Group.
At this moment, the red traffic light is still in Ke Qirui's hand.
And then... as long as the black pupa can successfully contact the red street light, it means that Ji Minghuan is truly close to the truth of the Salvation Society for the first time. Regardless of whether the intelligence obtained is more or less, important or useless, this is undoubtedly a breakthrough achievement.
At the same time, in another corner of London, inside a cargo ship on the Thames.
In the pitch-dark cabin, Sun Changkong sat on the somersault cloud, hanging in midair like a statue. She raised her fiery red eyebrows, her right hand was still stretched forward, and her mouth was wide open.
After a moment, the expression on the girl's face gradually changed from panic to dementia, and her little fangs stopped trembling.
It was not until Mario opened the window, letting in the morning sunlight and driving away the weed-like darkness in the cabin, that Sun Changkong fully reacted.
Her cheeks were covered in a halo, and she tilted her head and looked around blankly:
"What's going on?"
At this moment, there was another person in the cabin who was even more demented than her.
The white-haired girl opened her arms and glared with red eyes, protecting Ji Minghuan like a penguin. She didn't know who her enemy was, so she was always on guard.
Firion's animal eyes sparkled in the darkness. He held his head and curled up in the corner. It took him a long time to calm himself down and stop the changes in his body.
Finally, Mario spoke to break the silence in the cabin.
He said calmly: "Calm down, we were sent back by the mentor's people."
Ji Minghuan sat on the ground, with his back against the wall, staring at Kong Youling's back for a while, then slowly lowered his eyes and looked at the hot diamond pattern on his wrist.
He took a deep breath, and the back of his hospital gown was already wet with cold sweat.
"Finally I'm back..." he thought, "These bastards from the Savior Society are really bold. They dared to do this to test my ability... Never mind, this time I'll just treat it as an early encounter with the final boss of the Savior Society. My sister and her lesbian leader should also learn something new."
Ji Minghuan hunched his back and closed his eyes. For a moment, his mind was filled with the earth-shaking scene in the game world when Sun Changkong released his power.
He couldn't help but gasp.
To be honest, Ji Minghuan couldn't imagine that if Sun Changkong stood on the side of the Salvation Society in the future, who would he bring with him to challenge such a monster?
Lake Hunter? Or Rainbow Wing? But how can I win over these top organizations and make them work for me?
If he only relied on his own strength, due to the influence of the supernatural power inhibitor, at the current growth rate, he would at most have four disaster-level machines at the same time within a month.
Although his natural disaster-level machine is completely different from ordinary natural disaster-level machines, due to the existence of the skill tree, it is absolutely superior to the same level in terms of mechanism, but this alone is not enough.
He would never be able to break through the Savior Society's defenses by himself.
But...if it's any later, maybe the Savior Society will be able to find a way to target him, and the difficulty will increase visibly by then.
He was thinking with his head down, when suddenly, a clear voice interrupted their attention:
"Your mission has ended."
Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a man wearing a light gray kimono.
At first he thought he was seeing things. At first glance he thought he saw the leader of the White Crow Brigade - "Qi Yuanli". However, the man in front of him was only extremely similar to Qi Yuanli in appearance, but their temperaments were completely different.
Qi Yuanli has a calm temperament and deep eyes. Most of the time his gaze is empty, making it hard to tell what he is thinking about.
The man in front of him was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a smile on his face, his kimono collar open, revealing his muscles. On his thigh was a katana, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, making it impossible to look away.
His temperament is bold and frivolous, and although he looks similar, the feeling he gives is very different from Qi Yuanli's.
Ji Minghuan raised his eyes and stared at him silently, thinking to himself:
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the disaster-level esper of Rainbow Wing - 'Urushihara Ruri'... How interesting, is this the first member of Rainbow Wing that I meet?"
Under the gaze of everyone, the man in kimono smiled slightly and slowly spoke:
"Nice to meet you, little brats. My name is... Urushihara Ruri."
