Chapter 270 Parents, brothers, and the gambling game that they are waiting to see (asking for monthly tickets)
"A good news and...a bad news?" Ji Minghuan murmured.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the air in the cell seemed particularly cold that day, as if someone had turned on the air conditioner.
The mentor's expression was also extremely serious: his posture as he sat at the table and his turbulent eyes behind his glasses were exactly the same as the last time he claimed that "the prophet is coming."
It seems that the situation this time is indeed not simple, even no less than the threat brought to him by the prophet?
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan tilted his head from the pillow, looked at his tutor silently for a while, then got out of bed and sat down opposite the table.
"You're not kidding me, are you?" he asked tentatively.
"To be honest," the teacher said deeply, "if I can, I don't want to tell you this bad news at all."
"Oh, then I'd better listen to the bad news first." Ji Minghuan held his cheek and looked up to meet his mentor's eyes. "Every time I encounter such a stupid question, I want to ask, will anyone really choose to listen to the good news first?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because hearing bad news after hearing good news would be a downer, wouldn't it?" Ji Minghuan said, "But after hearing bad news, hearing some good news is just a way to comfort yourself. It's better than the former anyway."
"That makes sense. Then I'll tell you the bad news."
"Just say it, don't waste time." Ji Minghuan looked at him with contempt.
"Your parents are dead," said the mentor.
Ji Minghuan was slightly stunned. A brief silence enveloped the two of them. The lights in the prison room were as cold as ever. The faces of the two were as pale as corpses, without a trace of blood.
After a long while, he finally responded: "Uh...you just said that my parents are dead?"
The instructor nodded silently.
After thinking for a while, Ji Minghuan asked again: "Did you mix up the bad news and the good news?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Isn't this really good news? The guys who abandoned me are finally dead. I can't be happier."
"Ji Minghuan, your parents are really dead."
"Oh, then can I apply for another party?" Ji Minghuan clapped his hands, making a clapping sound, with no expression on his face. "Last time it was a birthday party, and this time it's a death anniversary party. I'm inviting the Savior Team to celebrate my parents' death anniversary together."
"I'm serious. Ji Minghuan, this is not a joke." The instructor said seriously.
"So what?" Ji Minghuan put his hand on his cheek, lowered his head and sighed heavily.
"Our people found the bodies of your parents in Arabia not long ago. I have photos. If you don't want to see them, then..."
The instructor reached for his sleeves, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Look, why not?" Ji Minghuan said lightly.
"Okay, I respect your opinion, so be mentally prepared." As he said that, the instructor pushed a set of photos onto the table.
Ji Minghuan lowered his head and looked at the photo. There were indeed two bodies in the photo, a man and a woman. They were slumped inside a tent with their heads drooping. They were covered in blood, with no intact part of their bodies. Their eyes were wide open with emptiness and lifelessness.
Judging from the appearance, the one with thick eyebrows and big eyes is his father, and the one wearing glasses and having long smooth black hair is his mother.
It does look the same as I remember, except that the shape has changed.
suspended animation?
Assuming my parents are really that powerful, they might have a way to fake their own death, just like César's "Mimic Doll" and my "Restraint Belt Avatar";
But it wouldn't be surprising if she really died. There are so many disaster-level monsters in the Savior Society, and my mother is just an ordinary person. Although my father is a disaster-level monster, he can't handle it alone.
After a moment of silence, Ji Minghuan raised his eyes and said, "You guys acted really quickly. You killed the two traitors of the Salvation Society right away?"
"No, when we found your parents, they had already died." The mentor said, "Your parents have made great contributions to the Salvation Society. We can't harm them."
"Yes, yes, a huge contribution. Their greatest contribution is to create a restricted category without telling you. And they may be the only two people in the world who know the existence of the 'restricted category' besides the people of the Salvation Society." Ji Minghuan applauded again, "Of course you want to kill them."
The instructor was silent.
"If you think so, then we have no way to defend ourselves. We can only find the real murderer and wait for everything to come to light." He said softly, "Ji Minghuan, we have really tried our best to find your parents, but it's too late now."
After saying that, the instructor took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the pocket of his white coat, put the cigarette between his lips, opened the lighter with a click, and lowered his head close to the flame to light it.
He took a deep puff of the cigarette, and the green mist rose up and lingered around his fingertips.
"Well... my parents are dead, so let's just let it go. It doesn't matter anyway." Ji Minghuan said, "The question is, where is my brother? Since you found my parents, you can't have failed to find my brother, right? Or is it that my brother was completely made up by you?"
The mentor took down the cigarette and held it in his hand. "This is the good news I want to tell you: your brother is still alive."
"He was brought back to the Salvation Society by you?"
"That's right." The instructor said, "Because his parents died, his emotions are not very stable. He needs to calm down first. Now that he knows that he has a brother, it may not be a good thing for him. It's hard for him to accept your existence."
"It should be me who has trouble accepting him, okay?"
"Anyway, if you want to meet him, I can arrange a time next."
"Why should I see him?" Ji Minghuan asked, "You guys are really good at planning. You have Zeus and my brother. What are you planning to do?"
"Ji Minghuan, he has no relatives or friends in this world. You are the only one left." The instructor spoke word by word.
Ji Minghuan looked at him silently.
The cold light poured down from the ceiling, making the two people's faces look pale.
After a moment, he said softly, "First of all, I don't recognize this brother I've never even met. Secondly, let alone him, even if my parents come, it's the same. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
"I know." The instructor said, "Your brother has a very special feature. We found that he has the potential to be a strange news teller, an exorcist, and a psychic."
"ah?"
"Yes, this is a unique case, so we reasonably suspect that you may be like him, a person with the ability to integrate three extraordinary systems into one."
"Oh, I understand..." Ji Minghuan suddenly realized and narrowed his eyes. "The prophet must have made a mistake. In fact, my brother is the one who destroyed the world. Otherwise, how can he explain clearly that I am a Magikarp who can only splash water, while he is a divine beast with three attributes at the same time?"
“It is indeed possible.”
The instructor clasped his hands together and nodded in agreement.
With a "pop!" sound, Ji Minghuan clasped his hands together and suddenly lowered his head, "Then can you please let me go quickly? My brother will stay here for you to study! You can study him however you like."
He paused for a moment and said expressionlessly:
"By the way, if that prophet really came to the base of the Savior Society, you should quickly send this idiot to see my brother and ask him if he has lost his mind and predicted the wrong person. My innocence has been ruined in an instant, and I have been locked up for so long for no reason."
"Not necessarily." The instructor shook his head and took a puff of cigarette. "Although your brother is indeed more suspicious, we can't let you go yet."
"Why?"
"Because when the prophet arrives, all the truth will be revealed."
"I feel that the source of all evil is that he suddenly realized that he had predicted the wrong person, and then he came to the Salvation Society to see my brother, wanting to correct his mistake in time. Do you agree?"
"I've said that within this month, all the answers will be revealed..." The instructor smiled, "So don't be anxious, Ji Minghuan. If the prophet misunderstood you, we will definitely apologize to you and let you go."
"What about Kong Youling?"
The instructor thought for a moment and said, "Her situation is special. She has to wait until I teach her how to completely control her abilities."
"The result is still the same. If she doesn't leave, I won't leave either. So what should we do next?" Ji Minghuan said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go and say goodbye instead of smoking in front of the child and disturbing his sleep."
He sighed: "Or do you think someone would like to breathe your secondhand smoke?"
"No, there is one more thing we can talk about." The instructor took a puff of cigarette, "We found clues to track down the White Crow Brigade. Remember that officer with a bad temper? You met him a few times when you first came here."
"I only know a few people here, how could I not know him?"
"His name is 'Julius', and he is the warden of the Hokkaido Prison for Psychics. According to the information we got from him in the past two days, we heard that a member of the White Crow Brigade is imprisoned in the Hokkaido Prison."
"Then what?"
"According to what that member revealed, the White Crow Brigade might come to break the prison, but they are just like moths to a flame. There are only a few quasi-disaster-level psychics in their group, so it is a complete pipe dream for them to break the prison."
At this point, the instructor put out his cigarette, smiled slightly and said, "Maybe this time we can wipe out the White Crow Brigade."
"So this is the real good news... I was wondering why you clearly said one bad news and one good news, but I only heard the bad news before. It turns out that you hid the good news at the end."
"The people in the brigade are indeed extremely vicious. Not only did they threaten you and Kong Youling in the underground bar last time, they even destroyed the country of Box Garden." The instructor said, "They have seriously affected the balance that the Salvation Society pursues. We will punish them most severely."
"Okay, then I'll wait and see. I hope you can teach these bastards a lesson."
As he said that, Ji Minghuan raised his head and looked at his mentor expressionlessly. He thought, let's see who will be the one to bear the consequences of this prison break.
