Chapter 243 Dream, Death, Farewell (asking for monthly ticket)
Gu Wenyu woke up. He opened his eyes from the bed and looked out the window. It was not yet completely dark. The glass curtain wall of the distant building reflected the blood-red sky, and a blazing cloud stretched across.
"You finally woke up?"
Su Zimai was sitting on the edge of the bed. When she saw him move, she looked up at him from her phone.
Gu Wenyu blinked, tilted his head to look at his sister, and asked curiously:
"What happened to me just now?"
"Huh? You still dare to say that?" Su Zimai frowned. "First, he suddenly said a bunch of incomprehensible words, and then fell on the sofa and passed out."
"Oh, I think it's because I've been staying up late. I haven't closed my eyes much recently..." Gu Wenyu yawned and slowly stood up, "I still have to have a healthy lifestyle in the future."
What Ji Minghuan said was true.
In the past half month, because the three bodies were in different local times, he was almost working around the clock due to the time difference.
For example, when night falls on Unit 1, it is already dawn on Unit 2. Just as one unit goes to sleep, the other unit needs to get up and work.
As a result, it may be difficult to find time to relax.
However, when Ji Minghuan's real body was bored, he would either lie on the bed in a daze or sit on the floor watching TV, so his body was not burdened at all, and only his mind needed rest.
And after this period of tempering, unless the mental burden is heavy enough to make him collapse, like the time in the underground bar, he can still maintain basic rational thinking.
There will be no situation where fatal problems occur due to high mental pressure.
But after that, things got much better when Xia Pingzhou and other members of the group returned to Japan.
The time difference between Tokyo and Lijing is one hour, which means that when Unit 1 and Unit 3 are resting, Unit 2 should also go to bed. This gives Ji Minghuan's brain a chance to rest.
Should I consider turning on the hosting mode? Ji Minghuan thought, forget it, forget it, so as to avoid causing any disaster for me.
He was just pretending to be crazy when he was playing the role of Black Pupa, but the personality AI simulated based on his behavior might really go crazy.
"My brother and I were almost scared to death by you just now." Su Zimai covered his chest, "I was especially worried that you would wake up with dementia. In this way, besides dad, there would be another dementia patient in our family. The sky would fall."
Gu Wenyu lowered his head and looked at the quilt covering him: "I'm not as battle-hardened as you are, so it's normal for me to have a weaker psychological endurance."
He was silent for a moment: "Brother is really Blue Arc?"
"I said, you won't faint again, right?" Su Zimai narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
"I promise I won't. I just didn't get enough rest before."
"Brother is indeed Blue Arc. Didn't you see it in the living room? How many people in the world can use lightning?" Su Zimai paused, "So, how do you feel now?"
"My first feeling was... I'm screwed. I said a lot of bad things about Blue Arc in front of Big Brother." Gu Wenyu teased, "Luckily I fainted just now, otherwise you two would definitely take turns to scold me. I'm really sorry that I didn't let you succeed."
"It's okay. I've said a lot of bad things about Blue Arc. Now is the time to separate Blue Arc from Big Brother." Su Zimai said, "Besides... it's better than Dad, who is a scoundrel, right?"
"What's wrong with Dad?" Gu Wenyu raised his eyebrows.
"Have you forgotten?" Su Zimai said disdainfully, "He praised Gui Zhong as a tough guy in front of him at the dinner table. Who doesn't know that my brother was beaten by Gui Zhong and ran away many times?"
"That makes sense." Gu Wenyu nodded, "If Dad knew that my eldest brother was Blue Arc, he would definitely regret saying such a thing."
"Why do you seem to be so calm in your reaction?" Su Zimai tilted his head. "You didn't know my brother's identity a long time ago, did you? I was expecting your reaction, but I didn't expect you to just fall into a deep sleep. I really admire you."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth.
"Rather, my brain hasn't recovered yet. I suddenly found out that my brother is the most popular superhero, and a bunch of enemies are chasing him for revenge. He was even beaten halfway through his body yesterday." Gu Wenyu shrugged, "Should I be happy or sad? I don't really understand."
"That's normal, me too."
"Well, my eldest brother is a supernatural being, and you are an exorcist. Doesn't that mean I am the only ordinary person in the family?"
"Don't you think of your father as a human being? He is still with you... Besides, it's actually quite good this way."
"What's good?"
"Sometimes I wish Big Brother was just a normal person, so he wouldn't look so tired."
Su Zimai lowered his eyes slightly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone onto his cheeks through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"By the way, what should we do about the past two days?" Gu Wenyu scratched the bridge of his nose. "Mu Taki said that my elder brother accidentally killed someone. My elder brother..."
"Because of this incident, he plans to retire." Su Zimai said, "Big brother also said that he will apply to withdraw from the Outliers Association in the next two days. By the way, just this afternoon, Hongyi also invited him to join the team."
"Hong Yi?" Gu Wenyu was stunned.
Su Zimai nodded: "Yes, but my brother said that he doesn't want to continue."
Gu Wenyu was silent for a moment, "But... the opportunity is right in front of him, if he backs down."
"I will do it." Su Zimai raised her head and stared into his eyes, "If he is tired, then I will find out the truth about his mother for him. I will definitely become a big shot in the Exorcist world in the future, and then get in touch with the people of Hongyi."
"you?"
"I."
"You you you?"
"Me, me, me." Su Zimai glared at him.
"Okay, keep going," Gu Wenyu said, "but don't work too hard, or you'll be like your big brother and quit in a few days."
Su Zimai lowered his head and said nothing.
After a long silence, she suddenly said softly, "I'm leaving tomorrow. It may take a very long time for me to come back this time. I may not even come back when school starts."
"Why?"
"We've been entangled by some very scary people," Su Zimai said, "My friend was almost killed by them last time. If he hadn't been lucky enough to catch them, he would have been dead."
"A very scary person?" Gu Wenyu murmured, "The kind that can't be told to me?"
Su Zimai nodded.
"Then why don't you tell your brother? He's so strong, he can definitely protect you."
"I don't want to involve him. My brother is already very tired, and I don't want him to worry about me. Besides, in front of those people, even he might..."
"So dangerous? Can't even deal with the Blue Arc?"
Su Zimai was silent.
She said softly, "Well, actually, I'm quite scared. I've been having nightmares every day recently. Hei Pupa said that once those people set their sights on us, it will be difficult to resolve the situation. I don't know if I can come back after leaving this time."
Looking at Su Zimai's drooping eyelids, Gu Wenyu whispered:
"Then don't leave."
"No, I don't want anything to happen to you."
After saying that, she suddenly leaned forward, hugged Gu Wenyu, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know that I may never see you again, but I have to go, so...if I really disappear, you must remember me." When she said this, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Gu Wenyu was stunned. In fact, he also understood that people around Su Zimai had been in trouble in the past few days. First, Lin Zhengquan was attacked by the Salvation Society, and then Gu Qiye was almost killed by Mu Long. She was about to collapse mentally, so she couldn't help but say these things.
"You are still the same as when you were little. You were very short and couldn't even reach my waist, but you always liked to act arrogant in front of outsiders. At night, when you felt wronged, you would run to me and cry, saying, 'Brother, hug me.'"
"Can't you say something nice?"
Gu Wenyu was silent for a while, his drooping hair covering his eyes.
After a moment, he raised his hand and touched Su Zimai's head.
"Take care of yourself," he said, "and come back alive."
It’s also August 3rd.
It was night in a cafe near the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, Tokyo, Japan.
The girl in the ochre kimono threw sheets of paper out from her sleeves, which formed into a key, opened the lock on the wooden door, and then gently pushed the door open and walked in.
The lights were turned on, and a warm orange light fell, illuminating the faces of the four members of the brigade.
Xia Pingzhou said with emotion: "This cafe is still there. I thought it was demolished by gangsters."
"They don't have the time to search such a remote corner." The hacker said calmly, "This place doesn't have much traffic. Only old customers come to Uncle Takikage's cafe."
Robert scratched the robot's head. "We're missing a cook. It's not safe for us to eat out in Japan. How about we ask the hacker to order takeout for us later?"
"Am I some kind of electronic babysitter?" The hacker narrowed his eyes. "Do you need my help to order takeout?"
"It's safe," said Robert.
"Tamagotchi, no trespassing." Ayase Origami said as she looked at the things in the counter drawer.
The hacker clicked his tongue and shoved his hands in his jumpsuit pockets.
"Actually, I can cook." Xia Pingzhou volunteered, "Actually, I have a basic foundation, and I also learned a few tricks from Uncle Takiying."
"Thank you for your help, newcomer." Robert stretched lazily. "By the way... the leader and the Ripper's sister will also be here. I heard that they are going to find a new member in Japan and do some things while they're here."
"Is the Ripper coming?"
Xia Pingzhou said, turning his head to look at the hacker: "Then the electronic pet, tell the Ripper a message for me."
"What are you telling me?" the hacker said disdainfully. "I'm sorry if you have the word 'mom' in it."
"Tell her to give me some demons, and not kill them all." Xia Pingzhou had a blank expression, "Otherwise I should really avoid her and take a vacation."
"oh."
"I'll tell that too." The kimono girl sitting behind the counter suddenly said softly.
"What are you going to tell her?" The hacker looked at her with disdain. "You conjoined twins really have the same way of thinking."
"Let some demons go, there's no cat food." She said blandly.
That night, Gu Wenyu and Xia Pingzhou both went to bed early.
After returning from practicing medicine with the great Dr. Jersey, Yagubaru filled the inn's bathtub with hot water, jumped into the bathtub, and fell asleep in the water.
It was a rare occasion that Ji Minghuan had a good dream.
He slept very soundly and did not dream of that stormy night when he was locked in the closet and heard the banging noises outside.
In the dream, I was looking up at the eaves of an orphanage, and I could see a sky full of stars. There were many people around me, Li Qingping was drinking beer, and Uncle Takiying was hanging upside down under the eaves like a ninja, writing haiku with a pen and paper.
But after waking up from the dream, something unexpected happened.
On the morning of August 4, when the No. 1 machine Gu Wenyu woke up from his bed, he turned on his mobile phone and received a shocking message.
【Ke Qirui: Lin Zhengquan is dead.】
Gu Wenyu's fingers paused slightly, and then he typed on the text sending box.
[Black Pupa: Are you serious? Today is not April Fools' Day.]
[Ke Qirui: Last night, he was attacked by a superpower on his way to find Lin Yilong. The identity of the superpower has not yet been confirmed.]
[Ke Qirui: We don’t have time to chat anymore. We must leave this city immediately, otherwise Xiaomai’s family will be dragged into this, and even our current communication will be dangerous.]
[Black Pupa: Where are you? ]
[Ke Qirui: We are on the train demon. I am planning to take Xiaomai and Xu Sanyan to Hulie. We will not be returning to Lijing for a long time.]
[Black Pupa: Where is Lin Zhengquan's body? We should be able to tell the methods of the supernatural person from the body.]
[Ke Qirui: Only a head is hanging on the street lamp, the rest of his body has... disappeared.]
Gu Wenyu was startled. He got up from the bed, turned the doorknob with the restraints to open the door, and turned his head when he stepped into the corridor. Su Zimai's room was empty.
[Ghost Bell: Mu Taki is looking for you, the situation is very serious. 】
[Ghost Bell: You'd better come over quickly, to the basement. He and I will wait for you here.]
[Black Pupa: Got it. Please tell Mr. Makutaki for me: My condolences.]
After sending the message, Gu Wenyu went into the bathroom to wash up and looked up at the face in the mirror.
"Is Lin Zhengquan dead? Given Lin Yilong's personality, he will definitely become an enemy of the Salvation Society for him in the future." Gu Wenyu thought, "This means that he will most likely cooperate with me to capture the Salvation Society members hiding in Hongyi like 'Urushihara Liuli'."
"But the question now is...how can I convince my brother to join Rainbow Wing?"
"Yes, if we tell Big Brother that the people who targeted his sister were the 'Savior Society' and that the Savior Society's lackeys were hiding in Rainbow Wing, then Big Brother would have a reason to rejoin Rainbow Wing."
Thinking of this, Gu Wenyu wiped his face with a towel and said, "Let's deal with Mu Taki first."
After washing up, he used the senses of his restraints to confirm that no one was home. He then returned to his room, opened the cardboard box, took out the black pupa suit, put on a black windbreaker, and put on a dark red mask.
Then he wrapped his whole body with restraints to share the gravity, jumped through the open French window, and disappeared into the first rays of morning light.
