Chapter 27: Acquaintance
[Passive skill - "Restraint Detection" has been triggered. ]
The system prompt sounded, and then a red and black panel popped up. Brown text crawled up to Ji Minghuan's pupils one after another like migrating ants.
[Target gender: Female]
[Target attributes: Strength: B level; Speed: B++ level; Spirit: A level]
[Superhuman Race: Exorcist]
[Class: Second Class (Exorcists are divided into three classes in total)]
[Sky Drive: Retro Monocle (SS-level rare among Sky Drives) (Currently, the Sky Drive has been bound to the following demons: Train Demon and Movie Demon)]
"Although we still don't know what 'Tian Qu' is, judging from the data, this person should be an upper-middle-class fighter among the exorcists. No wonder Su Zimai calls her teacher, it's a pity... She's still not as powerful as the two natural disaster masters in our family."
Ji Minghuan teased in his heart while calmly withdrawing his right hand and putting it into the pocket of his school uniform jacket.
Then he said to Ke Qirui: "Then my sister is yours. I have to go home to take a shower. I have a friend to play games tonight."
At this moment, Ke Qirui's right hand stayed in the air for a second, and then she raised her eyebrows slightly.
She raised her eyes from the shadow of her hat brim and looked at Ji Minghuan with interest. She said, "I will take good care of her. Please feel free to ask for anything you need."
"What do you mean I belong to her?" Su Zimai frowned and looked at Ji Minghuan.
"You are the only one who has too many things to do."
As he spoke, Ji Minghuan scratched Su Zimai's head casually, "If you hadn't run away from home, I should have taken a shower and rested in bed now, understand?"
Unexpectedly, Su Zimai did not resist, but was stunned. She and Gu Wenyu had never been so close since they were young.
Ke Qiji on the side looked at Ji Minghuan's right hand quietly. After a while, she suddenly said, "How about we leave our contact information? This way you can feel more at ease."
Ji Minghuan nodded: "That's true, otherwise I can't report it to my brother. Then add WeChat?"
"Sorry, I only have a cell phone number."
"Oh. Then it's a cell phone number."
Despite Su Zimai's objection, the two of them efficiently exchanged phone numbers.
"Then I'll go first, you guys chat."
After saying this, Ji Minghuan patted his butt off the swing and left.
As the two people watched in silence, he slowly walked out of the park. When he reached the corner, the inky twilight engulfed his back.
A car roared past on the dimly lit street. Ji Minghuan paused and suddenly thought, "Why hasn't Su Zimai completed her mission yet? Don't I already know that she is an exorcist?"
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan called up the task panel and checked the progress of the four main tasks.
[Main Mission 1 (Phase 3): Complete the first cooperation with the alien "Blue Arc" and deepen the other party's trust. ]
[Main Mission 2 (Phase 2): Establish a cooperative relationship with the super criminal "Ghost Bell", and then develop interpersonal relationships among evil superpowers.]
[Main Mission 3: Explore what your "sister" Su Zimai is hiding. ]
[Main Mission 4: Find out what your "best friend" Li Qingping is hiding. ]
He thought for a moment, "So it seems that I was able to complete the first two tasks, but failed to complete the task of 'exploring the identity of my sister', because I knew immediately that Gu Qiye was Lan Hu and Gu Zhuo'an was Gui Zhong, but I didn't know what my sister's specific identity was from the perspective of 'The Exorcist', so it didn't work."
Ji Minghuan closed all the panels in his field of vision and shrugged: "It seems that I have to find time to follow her later."
If we go back and follow the two people in the park now, we will probably know what kind of identity our sister holds among the demon hunters, and then naturally complete "Main Mission Three".
But with the current strength of this character, tracking Ke Qiji is simply courting death. Ji Minghuan still has some self-awareness... Similarly, if he does not learn a skill like "Hide Your Breath", rashly tracking other people in the family is also courting death, especially the old man codenamed "Ghost Bell".
With the fighting instinct that he had developed in the past two years from the Gu Zhuo case, if he saw someone following him outside, he would most likely kill the other person before even confirming the other person's identity, just like Ji Minghuan was strangled by the wrist when he touched him with the restraints in the kitchen just now.
"I still have to work with my masked dad later. I hope he's as easy to talk to as my brother."
Ji Minghuan whispered to himself, rubbing the Tianming acupoint and yawning, "Go to bed early tonight. I can't wait to know what kind of monster my next game character will be."
At this time, in the park on the other side.
Ke Qiji lowered her eyes and looked at the palm of her right hand expressionlessly. She was somewhat concerned about the subtle strange feeling she had just had when shaking hands with Ji Minghuan.
Su Zimai picked up the schoolbag from the sand and asked her, "What's wrong, Captain?"
Ke Qiqi put his hand on his chin and murmured nonchalantly, "Your brother...seems a little unusual."
"Him?" Su Zimai was stunned. "Where are you referring to?"
Ke Qiji was silent for half a second, and sorted out what had just happened in his mind:
"He was worried about his sister being in danger, so he tested me... From what he showed, that kind of instantaneous ability should only be used by psychics. Both the Oddity and the Exorcist need to meet certain prerequisites to release their power, but I didn't observe any prerequisite actions from him."
"From Xiaomai's reaction... she doesn't seem to know that her brother is a superpower. Could it be that she has been secretly protected by her brother for a long time?"
"It seems that he doesn't want Xiaomai to know his identity, so there's no need for me to meddle in his affairs."
Thinking of this, Ke Qiji looked at Su Zimai and said casually: "How should I put it, temperament, appearance...or the feeling it gives me?"
As she spoke, she suddenly shook her head: "Forget it, it's actually nothing, just pretend I never mentioned it."
"Huh? Captain, you are so mean. You kept me in suspense." Su Zimai frowned. "Are you saying that... my brother also has the potential to become an exorcist?"
"No, I can't sense the embryonic form of SkyDrive from him. Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Then... you are not attracted to my brother, are you? You were staring at him just now." Su Zimai squinted his eyes.
Ke Qiqi raised his eyes and asked curiously, "Hmm? Why do you think so?"
"You care about him so much for no apparent reason. I thought you wanted to recruit him into the group at first, but you said he didn't have the potential to be an exorcist. What else could he be?"
"It was just a little misunderstanding."
"That's true... I always feel like you're the type that likes girls."
"Objectively speaking, it seems that I have only had a crush on Sherlock Holmes in novels since I was a child."
As he spoke, Ke Qiji put his right hand back into his windbreaker pocket, raised his other hand to rub Su Zimai's hair, and raised the corner of his mouth to her, "Pack your things. If you don't want to go home, then don't go home. Come stay with me during the summer vacation."
"Why are you touching my head too?"
"I just wanted to touch it suddenly," Ke Qiqi took out the pipe hidden in his pocket, put it in his mouth, and asked, "Brother can touch your head, but the captain can't?"
"No way, it was obviously him who suddenly went crazy, and I didn't react."
"Come to think of it, this is the first time I've met your family. Why didn't you introduce them to me before?"
Su Zimai said expressionlessly: "Forget it. They are all Muggles, and they are from a different world from us."
She paused. "Especially my eldest brother. He's already exhausted from going to school and taking care of us at the same time. I don't want them to get involved in these dangerous things."
"Really? What a pity." Ke Qiji didn't care, took a puff of the cigarette, and then said, "Then let's go."
As she spoke, she walked towards the park exit ahead of Su Zimai, and Su Zimai followed.
"You old smoker, you're going to stop pretending now that my brother is gone?" Su Zimai muttered.
"You can't let others know that your sister is going to spend her entire summer vacation with an old smoker, right?" Ke Qiji teased.
"I don't care about them. Do we have to let the train demon take us to Tokyo tonight?"
"Well, there are some things to discuss with the Exorcist Association in Japan tomorrow."
"Then I want to eat tempura shrimp. I haven't even had dinner yet and they started arguing."
"Okay, okay, Mai Mai, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."
There will be another chapter later.
