Chapter 235 Kill your brother, or kill my brother (asking for monthly ticket)
"How come everyone has no reaction to such an exciting revelation?"
Hei Pu looked around, but no one responded to his words for a while.
There was silence in the ward. He pointed at Su Zimai with his left hand and Lin Zhengquan with his right hand. Both of them were stunned.
After a moment, Hei Pupa silently withdrew his hands, hugged his chest, shook his head and sighed.
"Alas... As a smart person like me who dares to speak out the unknown truth and expose the dark side of society, it is easy for others to isolate and exclude me. This is really a slick society, not suitable for people like me who are too innocent to survive."
He paused and said, "Well, I am as innocent as a twelve-year-old boy."
There was still silence in the ward, until Lin Zhengquan, who was lying on the bed, finally spoke to break the silence.
"Mu Taki... is my younger brother?" Lin Zhengquan frowned and asked almost word by word.
Su Zimai was also stunned.
She didn't understand why Hei Pu wanted to reveal her brother's identity at this time. Didn't they agree to keep it a secret?
Also, why did Black Pupa say that Blue Arc and Makutaki would fight? Didn't the mayor publicly praise these two role models of the Outlander yesterday? The old man and Makutaki stood together, laughing and joking.
Her brain almost crashed, and she finally blurted out these words:
"Blue Arc is my brother?"
"What else? Blue Arc isn't your brother, so could he be my brother?"
Hei Pu sighed, then tilted his head and stared at Su Zimai with a look of disappointment.
He thought to himself, "Diaper demon, can you please not have a brain short circuit in a situation like this? Doesn't it make my words seem unconvincing?"
It was not until this moment that Su Zimai finally came back to his senses from the state of brain overload.
Putting aside the fact that she was being stupid, it was more important to attack the black pupa first. So she frowned and said:
“Bah! Are you worthy enough to call me brother? If my brother knew that he had a brother like you, he would run over here from the Deviant Association 800 miles away and slap you to death right here!”
"Then he is really a good brother."
Black Pupa shrugged and continued disapprovingly: "Hitting me is just like hitting him with Gui Zhong, it's easy as pie."
At this moment in the ward, the other three members of the Ghost Train Group remained silent, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Obviously, it was more shocking for them to think that Lan Hu was Su Zimai's brother than that Mu Long was Lin Zhengquan's younger brother.
Not to mention that Hei Pupa had fooled them before. Lan Hu was actually Su Zimai's second brother - "Gu Wenyu". Unexpectedly, the truth was just a thin line away. It turned out to be her eldest brother "Gu Qiye"?
No wonder Black Pupa once said, "Yes, Blue Arc is your brother."
At that time, they had no impression of Gu Qinye and naturally did not associate it in that direction. After asking Xu Sanyan to confirm Gu Wenyu's identity, Ke Qirui had already dispelled his vigilance against Su Zimai's family.
But at this moment, Hei Pupa's words were like a bolt from the blue, awakening the dusty memories of that time again.
The three of them had been silent, waiting for Su Zimai to refute Hei Pupa's statement, but they didn't expect that Su Zimai would stop pretending and confess in front of everyone.
She asked angrily and aggressively, "What's going on with you? Didn't we agree to keep it a secret? I said I didn't want the group leader and the others to know for the time being. How can I keep it a secret now that you've revealed it?"
Although he said this, Su Zimai was actually quite proud of himself.
Who doesn’t know Blue Arc? Excluding the elusive Rainbow Wing, Blue Arc is probably one of the top five most popular aliens in the world.
Even among foreigners, Blue Arc is a very popular figure, and you can even buy his dolls or figurines on the street. She was of course happy and proud that people around her knew that such a famous and outstanding person was her brother.
But apart from this, my mood still feels vaguely complicated and heavy.
Even though a full week had passed since the day the siblings had confessed, she still found it difficult to connect the bright, eloquent character on TV with her brother who was busy with housework all day.
It is even more difficult to convince himself to accept the hard work Gu Qinye has endured over the years. How tired and lonely his brother must be. He has taken on so much, but he can't say a word to his family. Many times he must have wanted to find someone to talk to, but no one would respond to him.
Every night when I come home and turn on the lights, the living room is empty.
He would not wake up his brother and sister, but just quietly treated his wounds in the bathroom. He was gritting his teeth in pain but made no sound. Finally, he opened the door and took a look at his brother and sister's faces. No matter how much he wanted to say, he had to keep it in his heart.
Just like that, I fell asleep alone.
The more she thought about it and put herself in her brother's situation, the more uncomfortable and distressed Su Zimai felt. In the end, she could only pretend that she didn't care, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get along with her brother normally like before.
Ke Qirui let go of the pipe after a while, with a look of surprise on her face. She murmured:
"I see. This makes sense. Why did Lan Hu happen to come to Tokyo at the same time as her family? Why did Gu Qiye happen to 'run into' us at the barbecue restaurant? And at that time... why did Lan Hu act so worried during the last meeting?"
Su Zimai whispered, "I'm sorry, Captain. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that I can't quite accept this yet, so I want to digest it on my own for a while."
"Nothing." Ke Qirui curled the corners of her mouth. "I, an outsider, was shocked, let alone you. It's normal not to want others to know." As she said that, she raised her hand and touched Su Zimai's head.
"Are you serious?" Xu Sanyan frowned. He, a complete outsider, was shocked.
Black Pupa said slowly: "Ms. Su, Mr. Lin, your family members will appear at the annual Outlier Recognition Conference tomorrow. At that time, they will fight like wild beasts until death."
After a pause, he looked at Lin Zhengquan in silence:
"And you should understand why your brother is so obsessed with killing Blue Arc and even became an Outlier."
After a moment of silence, Lin Zhengquan said, "He... still hasn't forgotten about his father."
"It seems you know about this." Black Pupa raised his eyebrows, "I thought you were kept in the dark."
"A-Taki told me that my father was killed by Blue Arc." Lin Zhengquan said, "Because there is no evidence, I don't think Blue Arc would do that. So for all these years, I have always regarded this as an illusion caused by my brother being trapped under the rubble when the earthquake happened that day."
Ke Qirui was stunned: "Blue Arc killed your father?"
She thought, but the information in the Exorcist Association showed that Lin Zhengquan's father died in an earthquake.
Lin Zhengquan thought for a moment and said with a complicated expression:
"That's what my brother said. He was trapped under the rubble, and my father was trying to pull him out. At the time, the two of them called for help from Blue Arc, but Blue Arc didn't hear them. It was just concentrating on fighting the criminals. Finally, a beam of deep blue lightning broke through the window and crushed my father...
Xu Sanyan frowned.
Su Zimai stared blankly at Zhengquan's gloomy face, his face full of disbelief. He opened his mouth but could not utter a word.
She turned her head and looked at Ke Qirui for help: "Captain, this kind of thing..."
"The ability to control lightning is very rare, let alone deep blue lightning." Ke Qirui said softly, "If what Zhengquan's brother said is true, then the only one in Lijing who can do that is... Blue Arc."
Su Zimai's face was pale and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
She said, "How is that possible... You mean my brother killed an innocent person? Captain, don't be ridiculous. I have been with him for so many years, don't I know him better than you do? My brother would never do such a thing, absolutely not."
At this point, she suddenly raised her head, her immature voice trembling a little: "Because... because mom died because she was affected by the battle between the superpowers! After mom passed away, everyone in the family was very sad, including my brother! How could he do the same thing as those bad guys?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ward was shrouded in deathly silence again, and the only sound that could be heard was Su Zimai's trembling breathing.
"What a pity... this is most likely true." Black Pupa said softly.
"How do you know this is true?" Su Zimai asked.
The black pupa remained silent.
The corner of Su Zimai's mouth twitched, and he looked at the floor with a slight frown.
After a while, she started crying and whispered, "Flop Moth, don't you know everything? Tell them quickly that this is fake. My brother...is not the kind of person who would do such a thing."
The black pupa smacked his lips.
He shrugged and leaned against the windowsill, looking down at the restraints extending from his fingertips.
He said: "Objectively speaking, the events of a few years ago are difficult to investigate. At that time, man-made disasters and natural disasters occurred simultaneously. It is extremely difficult to track down the truth, just like... you can't be sure whether your mother really died at the hands of Hongyi."
Black Pupa paused: "But there is one thing I can be sure of. No matter whether what Lin Yilong wants to say is true or not, it is difficult for Lin Yilong to change his mind about revenge on Blue Arc. It is better to say... at this point, he has no way out."
"Why?" Su Zimai asked in a low voice.
"Why else?" Black Pupa said, "Just think about it, he finally spent several years honing himself just to join the Association of the Outliers. Now that he is standing on the same stage with Blue Arc, will he really let this opportunity go?"
Lin Zhengquan lowered his head and took a deep breath: "I will be discharged from the hospital this afternoon. I will go talk to him then."
Hei Pu hugged his shoulders and turned to look at him: "The question is how are you going to deal with it? Are you going to stop your brother from avenging his father, or... make peace with your brother and have a touching brotherly alliance to kill Su Zimai's brother together?"
Su Zimai was startled and his pupils slowly contracted.
After a moment, she suddenly lowered her head, her hair covering her eyes. She stepped back step by step, her lips moving slightly:
"If anyone dares to touch my brother, I will kill them all, even if... it's you."
As soon as Su Zimai said this, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly seemed to freeze, as if the air was filled with sticky glue, and no one was able to speak.
As expected, she inherited Gui Zhong's genes. The father and daughter are exactly the same in this respect. Hei Pupa turned his head to look at her, thinking that Su Zimai's words at this moment were exactly the same as the harsh words that Gui Zhong had said to the brigade at the auction.
After a while, Ke Qirui lowered his head to his pipe and took a puff of smoke, then said:
"Mai Mai, calm down first, don't be anxious... Let's listen to what Zheng Quan has to say."
"I'll think of a way." Lin Zhengquan whispered, "For my sake, Yi Long should stop. Then Xiao Mai, you can call Blue Arc and we can sit down and talk first."
After a pause, he said hoarsely: "Let's take a step back. If it is confirmed that Dad was really killed by Blue Arc, then we can talk about it."
Su Zimai was silent for a moment and nodded.
"It would be great if there really was that opportunity." Black Pupa said dimly, "You know, because I was entrusted by someone... I can't see either Makutaki or Blue Arc die, I must ensure the safety of these two people."
At this point, he spread his hands and said, "But I am only a harmless-level psychic. If I intervene in the battle between two top-level quasi-disaster-level psychics, I will probably be crushed into pieces if I am not careful. That is why I came here to seek your help."
But deep down in his heart, Hei Pupa had another purpose, which he did not tell the four people in the ward.
He hoped that this matter would be known to everyone - "Blue Arc successfully stopped a quasi-disaster-level criminal who infiltrated the Abnormal Association", which was no small achievement.
Once the incident is exposed, it will be enough to shock the entire country and complete the last piece of the puzzle before Big Brother joins Hongyi.
Furthermore, since he was on the verge of death after the auction incident, when Blue Arc once again entered the public eye, his strength had obviously become stronger.
It was so simple that even those netizens who had little knowledge of superpowers could raise questions at the dinner table:
——"Has the Blue Arc become faster?"
According to Black Pupa's observations while lying in bed these days, watching Silver Swallowing Mouse fan videos and Blue Arc videos at the same time:
Gu Qiye's current strength is just one step away from being promoted to the disaster level; at such a juncture, the appearance of an equally matched opponent like Mu Taki may be able to help him successfully break through this threshold.
"Brother, you have been under pressure for so long. Is it too much to wish you success if I put a little more pressure on you?"
Hei Pu raised his hand and scratched his chin, silently apologizing to Gu Qinye in his heart.
"Anyway, I've already told you the time and place. It's tomorrow afternoon, at the commendation ceremony held by the mayor. As for what you plan to do, that's up to you," he said. "I have a cable car appointment to attend to next, so goodbye everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned backwards from the windowsill, fell to the ground from a hundred meters in the air, and disappeared from the sight of the four people.
Ke Qirui let out a breath, took out his cell phone from his windbreaker pocket and opened the search engine.
She murmured, "The Outlier Commendation Conference? If it's held tomorrow afternoon, then we still have time to find Blue Arc and Makutaki and talk to them."
The next moment, Ke Qirui looked at the latest search results that popped up on the screen, and was suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong?" Xu Sanyan asked, cigarette in mouth.
"The event has been moved up a day. It was announced this morning." Ke Qirui spoke very quickly. He put away his phone, took out a one-way mirror from his pocket and put it on his face. "There are only twenty minutes left. We must rush over immediately."
Xu Sanyan was stunned, put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at the sky outside the window:
"I was fooled by that bug bastard again..."
Lin Zhengquan frowned, threw back the quilt, got off the bed, put on his slippers, and looked up at Su Zimai who looked stunned.
He said, "Xiaomi, no matter what, let's make sure your brother and my brother are safe."
"Yeah, I know." Su Zimai nodded and responded softly.
As soon as the words fell, movie screens rose up in the ward, swallowing up the figures of the four people.
