Chapter 259 The difference between the black pupa's grandfather swallowing the silver rat (asking for a monthly ticket)
In Broly's Bookstore, Black Pupa was hanging upside down motionlessly below the ceiling, with a black restraint belt hanging above his head.
"So, what is going on now? Why does the boss know my true identity?"
He was stunned for a moment, looked up, looked at the bookstore owner, then looked at the panel in front of him, and then couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
[New collaborator: Su Wei (Level 3 Exorcist)]
He confirmed that he was not mistaken. The name that came into view was completely different from the information registered on the official website of the alien. Moreover, the system prompted that this was a third-level exorcist, which was completely different from the "harmless-level alien" that was previously mentioned.
And the most crucial point is: this bookstore owner who has hidden his identity for a long time just claimed that he is Su Ying's father.
Su Ying is Gu Wenyu's mother, and Su Ying's father is naturally... Gu Wenyu's grandfather.
"Grandpa...?" Hei Jin closed the book "Quiet Flows the Don" in his hand and murmured.
The strange thing was that, in Gu Wenyu's memory, he had never heard his mother discuss his grandfather, as if this person was already dead;
Not only that, Su Ying never took them to her grandfather's house for dinner during the Chinese New Year holidays, so Gu Wenyu naturally had no impression of this.
Searching through the memories stored in the spiritual library, Hei Pupa suddenly remembered.
When he was a child, he did hear Gu Zhuo'an say that his mother had a bad relationship with his grandfather's family, and that she ran away from home before marrying him. After that, she rarely contacted his grandfather's family.
Hei Pu thought for a long time before he raised his head and looked at the seemingly young boss again.
He asked tentatively, "Then how do you know my identity?"
"According to official statistics, I was judged as a harmless-level psychic, and my psychic ability is to determine the location of a small object through a photo." Su Wei paused, "But that is not actually a psychic ability, but the ability of Tianqu."
"I see." Black Pupa said, "So you deceived the authorities and provided false information."
Su Wei took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "I took a lot of photos of books before in order to sell them online, so every time you borrow a book from me, I can find the location of the book through the photos."
He paused for a moment, "And most of the time this location is in a residential building in the Guyimai neighborhood, which is my son-in-law's home."
Su Wei put down the coffee cup and smiled, "Then, after roughly screening the conditions, I guessed that you are my daughter's second son, Gu Wenyu."
"Uh... so you are really my grandpa?"
The black pupa scratched his jaw and murmured in disbelief.
Su Wei did not comment, but just looked at the book and said without raising his head:
"In fact, I have not been able to reconcile with myself for so many years. When my daughter died in that accident, I was still blaming her for choosing a Muggle as her husband and not being able to protect her... But then I thought about it, no matter what, she is my daughter. If I hadn't been angry with her at the beginning, maybe she wouldn't have ended up like this later, right?"
"Oh... I understand. I understand everything." Hei Pu nodded suddenly. "Isn't this the typical thing that happens in India?"
He spread his hands and said, "The daughter of a noble Brahmin wanted to marry an ordinary person. Her father was furious and broke off relations with her, kicked her out of the house, and stopped contacting her. That's why I have never seen you, my grandfather, for so many years."
Su Wei still managed a smile, sighed, and said with emotion:
"In fact, I didn't expect my grandson to have such a strange personality. He is somewhat similar to me when I was young."
"Okay, don't be angry... But anyway, I have to correct one of your mistakes."
"What mistake?" Su Wei asked casually.
"You may despise my father, but he is not what you call a 'Muggle'." Black Pupa said dimly, "It is better to say that he was indeed an ordinary person before, but not now."
"So how is he now?" Su Wei asked casually.
Judging from his tone, he still seemed not very interested in Gu Zhuoan, and even had a hint of disgust.
"Well, I feel like telling you this will scare you to death, so forget it, Grandpa." Hei Pupa shrugged, "But I can tell you clearly that everyone in my family is currently involved in a huge trouble."
"Are you leaving Lijing just to solve this trouble?"
"perhaps?"
"Do they want revenge on Hongyi?"
"You figured this out?" Hei Pu tilted his head. "You really have a keen eye."
"What other reasons could there be?" Su Wei asked, "Don't they just want to avenge Su Ying?"
"Grandpa, who are you?" Hei Pupa asked with a serious expression.
"I'm just an old man who's retired from lake hunting."
"Lake hunting?"
Hei Pu was startled, then he counted on his fingers and said, "But I remember that Lake Hunting is a family inheritance system, the Lin family, the Zhuge family, the Zhong family, the Zhou family, um... why do I feel that the Su family doesn't seem to have anything to do with them?"
He scratched his chin and thought: "Could it be that the Su family has always been the behind-the-scenes figure who handles troubles for Lake Hunter?"
"It's a long story, I'm too lazy to answer it." Su Wei said.
Hei Pu thought for a moment and asked again, "Have you been secretly protecting Su Zimai in the past two years?"
Su Wei still did not give a definite answer, but just said:
"Let's go...don't you have something else to do?"
The black pupa remained silent.
"This matter is difficult. Maybe one day we will need your help. Will you help us then?" He suddenly asked after a while.
"maybe."
"Okay, if I need you in the future, I will contact you. I hope you keep your phone open and don't miss my text messages."
At this point, Hei Pu shook his head and complained in a low voice, "I sent you a text message before, asking you to help buy the latest volume of My Sister Can't Be That Cute, but you always pretended not to see it. Do you know how desperate I felt every time I went to the bookstore and searched for a long time but couldn't find it?"
He stroked his chest and sighed, "And now, after knowing that you are my grandfather, I feel even more betrayed by family affection."
After saying that, Hei Pu slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and asked word by word:
"So, when will the newest volume of My Sister Can't Be This Cute be available?"
Su Wei took a sip of coffee, smiled, and replied slowly:
"If you come back alive, you'll be able to see it."
"Then it's a deal. I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave for now, Grandpa."
After saying that, Hei Pupa put his mother's diary into the restraints, and then the restraints covering his body gradually became transparent. He turned into a ghostly gust of wind, swinging the restraints and flying away.
Su Wei raised her eyes from her coffee cup, glanced at the sunlight coming in from the door, and murmured, "What a worrying grandson..."
After a while, the black pupa impatiently came to the building of the Alien Association.
In fact, he had originally thought of just exchanging a few pleasantries with the bookstore owner. Before leaving Lijing, he should mainly spend the time with Tun Yin, with whom he had the best relationship. Anyway, he and the owner did not have that deep a relationship.
But he didn't expect that this greeting would create a grandfather for him, thus delaying his meeting with Tunyin.
The black pupa hung upside down motionless under a fashion billboard, and a yellowed diary fell out from the restraints.
After thinking about it, he was not in the mood to read Su Ying's diary, so he simply took out his cell phone and played a few games of Minesweeper.
After that, he waited for two hours and finally crouched down and found a stranger wearing silver-white metal armor.
That person is naturally Li Jing’s new leader—Tun Yin.
Tun Yin had just come out of the meeting, and naturally he looked impatient, and it seemed that hot air could be exhaled from his nostrils. He probably knew that Blue Arc was not dead, but he had to cooperate with the association to make false statements at a series of mourning meetings. For Tun Yin's character, this was of course something he could not tolerate.
Soon after he walked out of the building, he looked up and saw a dark figure hanging upside down reading a book under the billboard.
Tun Yin was stunned for a second. His mood at this moment could be described in four words: double happiness.
The next second, an angry roar sounded above the empty street.
"Black - pupa -!" Tunyin growled word by word.
Without even a word, he gnawed away at a piece of metal, leaving an opening behind his back and legs.
There was a "bang" sound of breaking through the air, and firepower sprayed out from the opening. The strong airflow generated a recoil force, carrying his figure straight towards the black pupa like a rocket.
"I know you're very enthusiastic, but could you not be so enthusiastic? It's a bit scary. Good friends should keep a certain distance to last a long time."
The black pupa grinned. He had long expected the reaction of swallowing silver.
A few minutes ago, he released his skill - "Restraint Trap", and laid down highly reactive restraints on the top of the billboard. At this moment, they were like poisonous snakes hiding in the jungle, tightly attached to the surface of the billboard.
Seeing the Silver Swallow rushing towards him, the Black Pupa stretched out another restraint belt and pulled a neon sign up to fly upwards.
And the moment Tunyin approached the billboard, layers of restraints spread towards him, opening their mouths like carnivorous plants, and tightly wrapped around him in an instant.
The ability to swallow silver was suppressed by the restraints. The metal openings in the body sank inward, and the skin refilled the holes on the surface of the body. Without the assistance of firepower, the whole person fell down and fell on the street.
"You're tricking me again!" When he tried to struggle, the black pupa loosened the restraints on his head and fell from the sky.
The next moment, dozens of restraints emerged from behind him like tentacles, wrapping Tunyin up like a black insect pupae.
Then, Hei Pupa used the restraints to take off Tunyin's helmet. He lowered his eyes and looked at him, saying, "Your head is really big, Mr. Tunyin. Are other aliens' heads this big?"
He shook his head. "It turns out that a big brain doesn't necessarily mean it's useful. Sometimes the most concentrated brain is the best."
"Get out of here!" Tunyin roared, "Give me back my helmet!"
"I know, I know. Do I look like the kind of person who borrows things but never returns them? Every time I borrow a hardcover book or diaper, I return it the same way. Of course, there's no need to return the book now. After all, it's a gift from Grandpa."
After saying that, Black Pupa not only did not return it, but silently put Tunyin's helmet on his head. Then he hugged his shoulders and sneered at Tunyin who was wrapped in the insect pupa:
"So, who is the Black Pupa and who is the Silver Swallow now?"
If passers-by saw this scene, they might stay where they are: a silver swallower wrapped in restraints was muttering strange words to a black insect pupa.
The next moment, the black pupa peeled off a corner of the restraint trap, allowing the restraint covering Silver-Swallowing's face to fade away, and then carefully looked at the face under Silver-Swallowing's mask.
It must be said that this was the first time that Hei Pu saw the face under Tun Yin's mask. Tun Yin had thick eyebrows and big eyes, like a righteous black bear.
"As expected, the idol filter is easily broken once you get too close. Lord Tunyin, I think it would be more appropriate for you to wear a helmet."
Black Pupa shook his head as he spoke, then quickly took off the silver-white helmet on his head.
The item was returned to its original owner, and the helmet was put back on Tunyin's head with a restraint strap, covering his face.
"Hei Pupa, you... you bastard, what on earth are you trying to do——?!" Tun Yin shouted angrily, "Why don't you just kill me, but provoke me again and again? What's the point of doing this?"
He had so much pain in his heart that he couldn't say it. He was really fed up with being teased by the big moth every time they met. But this guy who was only at the top level at the beginning became so strong in just half a month!
Hei Pupa nodded slightly, raised his hand to his chest, and said deeply as if reciting a poem:
"Because...I love Silver Swallowing Rat so deeply."
"roll!"
"Okay! Actually, this is what happened, Mr. Tunyin! I'm about to leave Lijing City!"
"Don't let me see you again!" Tunyin was trapped in the insect cocoon, rolling like a maggot, wishing he could bite the black guy to death.
Black Pupa ignored his roar and continued to talk to himself affectionately:
"So, I always felt that you must have missed me a lot when I was away, so I took time out of my busy schedule to come and see you for the last time."
At this point, Hei Pu paused and raised a finger. "Don't adults often say that sometimes those things that you find noisy or annoying on weekdays will quietly disappear one day, and you will miss them instead... and fall into deep loneliness."
He finished with a soft sob, peeling a small rag from the restraints.
He took off his sunglasses and wiped the restraints around his eyes. At this moment, Black Pupa looked as pitiful as Lin Daiyu wiping her tears.
"Get lost!" Tun Yin couldn't stand it anymore. "You stinking bug! Stop pretending to disgust me!"
"I understand. My sincerity must not be enough." Black Pupa suddenly realized, "Then this is the last painting I dedicate to Silver Swallowing Rat."
He put away the rag, put on his sunglasses again, peeled off the restraints on his right hand, took out a sketchbook and pencil, and perfected the sketch he made last time.
Tunyin stared at him, wondering what this big moth was planning to do.
"Look, this is the last work of Tunyin's number one fan. Even if you are far away on the other side of the ocean, you can still think of me when you see this painting."
Speaking seriously, Hei Pupa slowly turned the sketchbook.
The sun was setting in the west, the distant mountains were glowing red, and Silver Swallowing Rat was standing on the top of a mountain, holding a broken Blue Arc battery. He raised his furry head, his eyes were firm, and he was crying as he murmured, "Being invincible is so, so lonely."
“Die for me—!”
Tun Yin's eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious.
Hei Pupa was silent for a long time, then silently stuffed the painting into Tun Yin's arms and raised his hand to salute him, "Oh, by the way, lend me your special ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stole the ability to swallow silver.
The pitch-black restraints had hideous teeth growing out of them, which could make a person with trypophobia suffocate just by looking at them from a distance. And every mouth on the restraints was now craving for metal.
["Power Steal" has been activated. The power of the power user "Silver Swallowing" has been stored in the restraint belt, and the duration is 48 hours. ]
Black Pupa lowered his eyes and watched the teeth opening and closing above the restraints, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Oh, that's really cool. Bye, Mr. Silver Swallow."
After saying this, the restraints covering his body became transparent again, carrying him silently into the air.
"You kid, at least let me go first--!"
Tunyin was stunned for a moment, looked up and stared at the air, and a weak shout came out from the giant cocoon of the restraint belt, echoing throughout the block.
Soon after, the video of him tied to the ground with restraints, crawling like a maggot, trying to avoid the public's sight, spread all over the Internet in one day.
