Chapter 195: Gui Zhong and Mu Taki, the Avengers (asking for monthly tickets)
"It's rare that my father would take the initiative to meet me. I'm really curious about what it is..."
Gu Wenyu lay on the bed in the room, resting his right arm under his head, looking sickly like a dead fish on a chopping board.
While watching TV in the air-conditioned room, he controlled the restraint belt avatar to fly high in the sky over the city, quickly heading to the meeting place designated by Ghost Bell.
Soon, the black pupa's restraint belt incarnation reached the top of the unfinished building.
What surprised him was that Ghost Bell was already waiting at the meeting place this time. He had borrowed a book from his boss on the way, intending to read while waiting for the old man to arrive, but it seemed like a complete waste of time.
Looking around, the entire floor was empty, with only some construction materials lying on the ground. The warm summer breeze poured in through the broken windows.
At this time, a tall figure wearing a metal disinfection mask and wrapped in a black cloak was leaning against the wall. He lowered his head, hugged his shoulders and thought, and the scarlet light in his pupils flickered, like a swaying flame.
Hei Pupa had no idea why his father had to wear combat uniform just to have a chat with him. Wasn't this just trying to cover up the truth?
But after thinking about it, he felt that his father might feel safer this way, so he didn't ask him the reason.
Extending a restraint belt to stick to the ceiling, the black pupa was suspended upside down in the air, and the transparent form was released. While flipping through the comic book "Old Master Q", he asked: "So, what do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Ghost Bell?"
"Mu Taki, I'm here for revenge." Gui Zhong looked up at him and said straight to the point.
"Hmm... I may not understand you very well if you put it that way." Hei Pu tilted his head and said while flipping through the comics, "Why don't you explain it in a little more detail?"
Ghost Bell was silent for a moment. "In the beginning, when I was acting as Ghost Bell, I secretly formed a team to avenge Hong Yi. I found the victims whose relatives died because of the authorities, selected the superpowers from them, observed their abilities, found some extremely talented people, and finally invited them to join my team."
He paused and said, "Later, I thought it would be more convenient to act alone, so I disbanded the team."
Black Pupa thought for a moment, then asked without even looking up, "You mean... this alien 'Makutaki' who just joined the official team was once a member of your Avengers team?"
Gui Zhong nodded: "Makutaki is a very good young man. I once had a very good chat with him. I even designed his battle uniform for him myself."
Black Pupa scratched his chin: "Uh... According to you, Makutaki is also planning to take revenge on Hongyi?"
"No……"
"Then who is he going to take revenge on? Didn't you say that the relatives of those who joined your team died because of official forces?"
After a moment of silence, Gui Zhong took a deep breath and said, "The one he wants revenge on is... Blue Arc."
Hei Pu was slightly stunned, and even his fingers that were flipping through the comics couldn't help but pause. At this moment he finally understood why Gui Zhong was so anxious to talk to him. It turned out that this matter was related to his son.
"What's the reason for revenge?" asked Hei Pupa.
Gui Zhong said slowly, "Two years ago, Lijing was hit by an earthquake, and the supernatural criminal 'Di Ming' took advantage of the chaos to endanger society. While Blue Arc was fighting him in mid-air, he accidentally pierced a collapsed residential building with a beam of lightning. At that time, Blue Arc didn't know that in that residential building, a father was trying to drag his son out from under the rubble."
"The boy trapped under the ruins shouted to his father, 'Run!' But his father did not give up on him... and a few seconds later, he saw with his own eyes that his father was torn apart by the lightning shot out by the blue arc and turned into a bloody mist."
"That boy saw with his own eyes that his father was split in half by Blue Arc's lightning. Later, he successfully waited until he was rescued by the rescue team... Afterwards, the officials of the Abnormal Association attributed his father's death to the earthquake, and even concealed the matter from Blue Arc himself..."
"A few days later, the boy came to the street and saw Lan Hu, as a disaster relief hero, standing on the stage to receive a medal amid the applause of everyone. At that time, he asked him: 'Lan Hu, do you know how my father died?', but in the other party's confused look, the boy was pulled away by the official personnel."
Having said this, Gui Zhong did not continue speaking, and a long silence fell between the two of them.
Hei Pu was stunned and silent for a moment, then slowly closed the copy of "Old Master Q" in his hand.
He looked at the ghost clock while hanging upside down, and then asked: "The boy you are talking about is the current 'Makutaki'?"
Gui Zhong nodded: "Yes, his name is Lin Yilong, and he only has an older brother named Lin Zhengquan."
Black Pupa thought for a moment and said, "That is to say... you didn't know at the time that Blue Arc was actually your son. So when you were forming that Avengers team and heard that Makutaki wanted to take revenge on Blue Arc, you actually supported him in your heart?"
Gui Zhong was silent for a moment and continued to nod.
Black Pupa narrowed his eyes, slowly opened his mouth, and asked him a question:
"Even... the reason why you beat up Blue Arc every time you saw him before was because of this Makutaki?"
Gui Zhong still nodded silently, "After listening to what Makutaki said, I regarded Blue Arc as a murderer for a long time, a murderer no different from Hong Yi... So every time I see Blue Arc, I will attack him without reservation."
Hei Pu was silent for a long time, then tilted his head and said with deep emotion: "You two are truly a pair of gods..."
"Lin Yilong, his father died because of my son." Gui Zhong said again, "He has been dormant for a long time, constantly training himself in the past two years, and finally... joined the official organization of the Outlanders under the name of 'Makutaki' and came to his enemy 'Blue Arc'."
Hei Pu shrugged his shoulders and said, "What should we do? Mr. Gui Zhong, you have to run over and kill this Mu Long, otherwise your son's life will be in danger."
"No," Gui Zhong shook his head decisively, "You go and remind my son, and then... persuade Makutaki and tell him to stop."
Black Pupa sighed: "You really have double standards... Mr. Ghost Zhong, since you want to avenge your own relatives, then your son accidentally killed someone else's relatives, so don't you allow others to avenge your son?"
"Because we both know each other, I know I am not qualified to interfere in this matter, so I chose to let you interfere." Gui Zhong said in a deep voice, "Makutaki... He is a very good and kind young man, different from a criminal like me. I don't want to see him destroy his own future, and I don't want to see him kill my son."
Hei Pu was silent for a long time. It was the first time he saw this mad bull-like man showing a tangled and confused expression. So he stared at the ghost clock silently for a while and said:
"Well then... I'll do my best."
He spread his hands and said, "Mr. Gui Zhong, you are such a twisted person... It's not easy to be a good father and a good Avenger at the same time."
Gui Zhong remained silent, allowing the black pupa to ridicule him.
Black Pupa looked at his expression and suddenly lowered his voice: "I am really curious now, if one day Mr. Blue Arc was stabbed in the back by this Makutaki and died as expected... what expression would you show at that time? Would you still praise Makutaki as a good young man?"
Gui Zhong slowly raised his head, his scarlet eyes staring at him motionlessly, and it seemed as if flames could be spewed out of his pupils.
"Hey... don't give me that look. I was just joking. You all have no sense of humor." Black Pupa shook his head. "This is really ironic. As an Avenger, you persuade other Avengers with the same beliefs to stop for the sake of your son's life. Isn't this against the principles in your heart? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Gui Zhong didn't speak.
Black Pupa sighed, "Let me guess first. You actually want to use 'Makutaki' to make your son doubt himself and start thinking, 'Since I have also hurt other people's relatives unintentionally, how can I have the right to take revenge on Hongyi?' Then let him give up the idea of revenge on Hongyi."
He paused and said, "This way... you can put your mind at ease and seek revenge on Hongyi alone, right?"
Gui Zhong was startled, and his whole body froze in place like a statue.
"Come on, your half-baked idea is so easy to guess," Hei Pupa grinned, "You must have been gloating in your heart just now, Mr. Gui Zhong, it seems that you are worried about the young man named 'Makutaki', but in fact you are glad that you have found an opportunity... an opportunity to let your child let go of his obsession with revenge."
At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "No matter how shameless you are, there must be a bottom line, right?"
"Then what do you think..." Gui Zhong asked hoarsely, "What should I do?"
"What you should do is your business. Don't ask me. It's beyond my scope," Black Pupa said calmly. "I am only responsible for laughing at your... selfishness, stupidity, and incompetence."
"What about you..." Gui Zhong was speechless. Finally, he just raised his head and asked, "What principles are you following? In your heart, what is right?"
Black Pupa scratched his chin and thought seriously for a while: "Fun? Interesting? Yes, that's enough. I am such a simple person."
He added in his heart: Of course, it would be different if Kong Youling was involved. In fact, we are all equally selfish, Dad.
"Mad man." Gui Zhong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"You still need me to do something, so don't talk to me in that tone." Black Pupa said, "Hey, I have a feeling that if I don't leave now, a stupid cow will suddenly rush over and tear me down from the ceiling, and then punch me in the stomach and head. It's time to say goodbye, Mr. Ghost Bell... I have always been friendly to my collaborators. I think I should be able to reconcile the relationship between 'Makutaki' and 'Blue Arc' well."
He thought to himself: Makutaki... an antisocial psychic who infiltrated the official organization, he came at the right time, so that he can become the last stepping stone before Blue Arc joins Rainbow Wing.
Thinking of this, the black pupa stretched out a restraint belt toward the window, flew up with the restraint belt, and once again turned into a transparent figure and disappeared into the city.
