Chapter 262: Rainbow Wing Gathering, Twelve Disaster-level People (asking for monthly tickets)
New York, USA, at 8 a.m. local time on August 6, in the Empire State Building, in an invisible elevator that is not open to the public.
The light shone down from the ceiling of the car, and Gu Qiye's face was illuminated to appear pale.
The surveillance camera was set up undisguisedly inside the elevator, with dense red spots flashing on the wall, like the eyes of an eight-eyed spider.
At this time, a white-haired girl in a black tights was standing next to Gu Qiye. She was holding a tablet, her ice-blue eyes lowered, and her fingers slowly operated on the screen.
They boarded a flight to New York in Lijing ten hours ago. After arriving in the United States, due to the time difference, it was still the morning of August 6th in the United States. There was a trance feeling as if it was still daytime after crossing the day.
"Our meeting place is actually the Empire State Building?" Gu Qinye finally spoke.
"The Rainbow Wing gathering location is different every year. Last year it was in Japan, the year before last in China, and this year it is in the United States." Yuriel said without raising her head.
"But... isn't there a lot of tourists at the Empire State Building?"
"So, it's hard for others to think that our meeting place is in the Empire State Building. The more conspicuous the place, the safer it is." Yuriel said expressionlessly, "We will take the invisible passage and will not run into any guests. The only risk is Fan Dongqing. He is the only person whose identity is public, so his movements are restricted."
As she spoke, she opened a file in the folder and handed the tablet in her hand to Gu Qinye.
"What is this?" Gu Qinye asked in a low voice.
"Generally speaking, Rainbow Wing members are only allowed to know each other's abilities when they need to cooperate with each other, and the confidentiality agreement states that they must not be leaked to the outside world, otherwise the consequences will be self-evident."
"Then what?"
"I have compiled a basic list of Rainbow Wing members, which records each person's code name and approximate ability." Yuriel said, "Do you want to see it?"
Gu Qinye nodded and took the tablet.
He thought that everyone in this file could be the murderer who killed his mother, and... the person who killed his father that day was among Fan Dongqing, Yuriel, Urushihara Liuli, and Jiujiu. At that time, only these four members of Rainbow Wing were in Lijing.
The authorities blocked all information and took comprehensive measures against the witnesses, but it is not difficult to find out. The clues are the photos of the dilapidated amusement park and the crater that looked like a meteorite falling to the ground. You can tell it by just taking a glance.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiye looked at the file on the tablet calmly.

3. My impression of it: blue paste → black sesame paste.
.
Seeing this, Gu Qinye was silent for a moment, then looked up at Yuriel.
However, Yuriel ignored him and focused on playing Nobita's Resident Evil on her iPhone. On the screen, Nobita was being chased by biochemical zombies. The snow-white hair hung down, covering the girl's eyes, and Gu Qiye also looked away from her face.
He silently looked at the file on the screen, which still contained the introductions of the last three figures of Hongyi.
.

2. Superpower: Create a large number of enhanced weapons and even air force missiles.

.

3. My impression of her: She is easily sleepy, always has droopy eyelids, needs to sleep in a lead coffin for 16 hours every day before waking up, and is always late for every party. The side effects of her supernatural powers seem to cause her to slowly lose her emotions like a puppet.
.

1. Appearance: A little boy, usually wearing a turtleneck sweater, with blue hair and blue eyes, and an estimated height of 1.60 meters.

3. Note: It is currently known that the Puppet Father has a total of two disaster-level puppets.
One of the disaster-level puppets is the former No. 8 member of Rainbow Wing - "Machine Soul Bodhisattva" (real name: Ajaya, an Indian monk, bald, wearing a red cassock, died in the Sahara Desert Operation). The special ability of Machine Soul Bodhisattva is to summon a "Thousand-Armed Mechanical Bodhisattva Statue".
The details of the other disaster-level puppet are unknown and have not been disclosed in the archives.
4. My impression of him: a bandaged man, a puppet, and someone who desecrates corpses.
.
Seeing this, Gu Qiye raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the ability of this member No. 12 was too strong. He could actually refine a natural disaster-level ability user into his own puppet, and he was also the previous member of Hongyi...
He took a deep breath, collected his messy thoughts, and turned over the book from bottom to top, recalling in his mind the pillar of light that crushed his mother into a bloody mist that day.
The abilities of too many members of Rainbow Wing are unknown, and among the people whose abilities are known in the archives, it is very far-fetched to connect them to the scene of that day.
As for the psychic who destroyed the Lijing Starlight Amusement Park like that, he had some idea of who it was. It was most likely the [Arms Girl] Jiujiu, whose psychic ability was to create enhanced munitions.
The Russian girl was in Lijing at the time. If she had killed her father, it would not be surprising that the amusement park was destroyed like that.
"We'll take it one step at a time. I need to go deeper into Rainbow Wing and start by seeing the abilities of other members with my own eyes."
When his thoughts reached this point, Gu Qiye was suddenly distracted by the sound of gunfire coming from the elevator. Turning his head, he saw Yuriel's fingers tapping on the phone screen like playing the piano.
She was controlling Nobita to shoot zombies with a pistol, and blood was splattering on the phone screen.
Gu Qiye withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and stopped observing the white-haired girl who was addicted to the game. He thought that the people of Hongyi seemed to be even more out of touch than he thought. Of course, it was also possible that Yuriel was a special case.
At this time, the elevator was buzzing downwards. Compared with ordinary elevators, the speed of this elevator was extremely slow, probably to leave enough time to guard against uninvited guests who managed to sneak in.
Gu Qinye lowered his head and once again scanned the photos in the file, and finally his eyes fixed on Oda Hideo's face.
He always felt that the old man looked very familiar, as if he had seen someone similar to him before, but he couldn't remember where.
Gu Qiye slid the screen inadvertently. The tablet in his hand exited the archive interface and jumped to the home page.
He was slightly stunned, and when he looked over, he saw that the homepage was filled with densely packed mobile game icons.
Yuriel has downloaded a lot of mobile games, and it can be seen that she is seriously addicted to the Internet: just logging in and checking in on these games every day is enough to take up enough time.
However, the moment he took his eyes off the software icon, Gu Qinye was attracted by the cover of the tablet computer.
It was a slender figure wearing blue metal armor. He stood under the neon lights in the city center, with dark blue arcs of electricity dancing in the air.
"Blue...Arc?"
Gu Qiye looked at the cover character on the tablet and read out his former name.
Hearing this, Yuriel's fingers that were playing with the phone suddenly paused.
The elevator suddenly became quiet, with only a buzzing sound. On Yuriel's phone, a biochemical zombie made of pixels chased after Nobita with its fangs bared, biting them into a ball of blurred flesh and blood, while Doraemon fell to the side with a look of despair.
After a moment, she raised her ice-blue eyes and stared at Gu Qinye motionlessly.
"That's the system cover," she said. "Please return the tablet to me if you're done reading it, instead of flipping through it."
Gu Qinye nodded and handed the tablet back to her without hesitation.
He looked up at the elevator's prompt panel and saw that the car had already descended to the 25th floor underground of the Empire State Building.
With a rumbling sound, the elevator door slowly opened, revealing a spacious conference room.
At this time, the long table in the conference room was already full of people. They were of different races, temperaments, and from different countries, but each of them had a unique and distinct memory point.
Gu Qinye had seen their photos in the files kept by Yuriel, so he recognized their identities at a glance.
Pairs of eyes were cast from under the dim blue light and focused on Gu Qinye. Only Fan Dongqing had his head lowered, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, staring blankly.
Urushihara Ruri held her chin with her hand, and looked at Gu Qiye with her clear and deep pupils like glass, with a playful smile on the corners of her mouth; the old man in black kimono opened his eyes, and there was a clear light in his eyes, like a peerless famous sword that had been polished for decades.
The Russian princess hugged her shoulders and tilted her face away, her amber eyes were aggressive, like the look of a snake sizing up its prey.
The girl in the Gothic skirt in the distance glanced at him and then looked away, drooping her eyelids and yawning softly.
A low yawn broke the silence that enveloped the conference room, and a stuffed rabbit in her arms suddenly began to squeak and laugh strangely.
“Let’s go…”
After saying that, Yuriel turned off the power of her tablet and mobile phone, looked up at the other ten people from Hongyi, and walked out of the car before Gu Qiye.
Gu Qinye was silent for a moment and walked into the meeting room.
The elevator door behind him slowly closed, and the cold light that illuminated his back was replaced by deep shadows.
