Chapter 274 Attack Warning, New Mask (asking for monthly ticket)
Hokkaido, on the night of August 7th, Japan time, on the coast of Ishikari Bay, a brightly lit wooden van was parked on the street. There were one or two stools under the awning. Customers were sitting on the stools eating ramen. The aroma of the pork bone soup drifted far away.
Xia Pingzhou stood by the railing, looking out at the sea and sky. The nearby water was as clear as glass, while the distant sea was as deep as a piece of pitch-black silk.
The waves rose and fell, one after another, continuously flooding over the beach, leaving behind silvery foam and fan-shaped shells. A few crabs struggled to crawl with their bodies tilted; the waves on the other side crashed violently into the rocks, breaking into splashes of water several meters high.
Tong Zizhu finished his ramen and walked over. He put his fingers together and stretched forward, stretching his arm muscles.
She put her hands on the railing and said nonchalantly, "Since I joined the brigade, I haven't had a single day of leisure. Things keep happening one after another. Is this a feature of your group? It's even more tiring than other people's 996 work."
"You're lucky. At least you escaped an auction in Tokyo." Xia Pingzhou said bluntly, "If you were also at the auction, it might not be Lan Duoduo or Oda Takikage who died, but you."
"Can you talk?" Tong Zizhu rolled his eyes at him. "And don't talk about what ifs. If a member hadn't died, I wouldn't have been able to join the brigade. What's the point of thinking about these nonsense?"
"Su Ying, what kind of person is she?" Xia Pingzhou asked suddenly.
"Damn, your conversational train of thought is too jumpy." Tong Zizhu said, "Is there anyone who talks like you?"
"I'm just curious. Who is worth your continued search for?"
Tong Zizhu was silent for a moment, resting his elbows on the railing and supporting his chin with his hand.
"She is an overly lively person, so lively that you can't feel her age. She obviously adopted you, but she only treats you as a sister. She plays games and watches TV with you every day, laughing and joking. She doesn't have the airs of an adult at all."
She looked down at the sea. "She looks so thick-skinned, but she knows all your emotions. She is a very magical person. So I was very sad when I learned that she had a family. I kept wondering why she couldn't take me with her. I was also wondering if she had abandoned me."
"Look at it in a positive way. Maybe she thinks you can stand on your own now." Xia Pingzhou said, "After all, you were a street kid before, so you matured faster."
"She might as well not take me in. I would be much more comfortable by myself then. I wouldn't be so depressed every day like I am now."
"You definitely don't think so."
"Well, I miss her so much..." Tong Zizhu held his face with both hands, "She is not like a mother to me, but more like a sister. I think there is no one better than her in the world, but in her eyes, there are things more important than me. I suddenly feel that it is so unfair and so unwilling. I must find her and ask her in person."
She suddenly stopped talking. The world was enveloped in the sound of the rushing tide, and the black waves crashed against the rocks and shattered into a sea of white water.
"That's because you've met too few people, so your obsession is too deep." Xia Pingzhou said, "But people are so stupid that they will always miss the person they met when they were the most powerless."
He thought, we actually have a shared mother. Not only you, but also several grown men in her family are still thinking about her after her death.
Tong Zizhu sighed softly, and then suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, "You mean the old lady who pursues love for a long life, right?"
"Yes, I learned it from her and used it immediately." Xia Pingzhou said lightly.
At this moment, the Ripper walked over from a distance, holding a dark red scabbard.
She was silent for a while, then turned her eyes, which were as dark as the polar night, and said to Tong Zizhu, "I want to talk to him alone."
"Okay, you guys chat. I won't tell the young lady." Tong Zizhu stood up from the fence. "But hackers are different. This little brat has a mean mouth. I suggest you be careful."
After saying that, Tong Zizhu rolled his eyes, walked towards the ramen cart cursing, pulled a stool and sat down.
"What do you want from me?" Xia Pingzhou asked.
"I feel like your abilities have gone beyond that of an exorcist, but I'm not sure why," asked the Ripper.
"Why do you say that?"
"An Lunsi judged that when we first met a month ago, you were still a Kui level. There are not many people who can be promoted from Kui level to Quasi-Disaster level in such a short period of time. It is better to say that there is no such person in the exorcist world." The Ripper paused, "You are the only one."
"so what?"
"What are you hiding from us?"
"I'm not hiding anything from you. Can't I be a genius picked out of a million?" Xia Pingzhou asked, "Just like there is a restricted-level superpower above the natural disaster-level superpower, I can also open a separate level in the exorcist, so you won't think I'm hiding something from you."
"I'll give you a suggestion."
"What suggestions?"
“Don’t be too narcissistic.”
The demon sword was unsheathed and placed against Xia Pingzhou's neck. Only then did a sharp and clear blade light suddenly shine, forming a ripple-like arc in midair, which was a whole beat slower than the movement of the blade, making it incredible.
Xia Pingzhou had long been accustomed to it and was unmoved, silently looking at the rainbow-colored shells on the beach.
"Just telling the truth," he said.
"Xia Pingzhou, are you a traitor?" The Ripper was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Student Yan Molin, why do you say that?" Xia Pingzhou asked expressionlessly.
"intuition."
"Then your intuition is wrong." Xia Pingzhou said.
The Ripper glanced at him, then took back the dark red sword, sheathed it, and held it against his waist, holding his shoulders.
"Really? Actually, I hope I'm wrong. Gather on time at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Don't be late."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the dim lights. Xia Pingzhou tilted his head and watched her leave silently.
On the morning of the next day, the prison break operation officially began. The eight members of the White Crow Brigade gathered again at the ski resort near Sapporo City. They decided to launch an attack from the air.
At 10 am on August 8th, Japan time, in Hokkaido, inside a private airport located deep in the mountains.
The plane landed, the gangway opened, and the three people from Rainbow Wing in the cabin slowly stood up.
"By the way, this is for you." Yuriel handed a suitcase to Gu Qinye.
"What is this?" Gu Qinye asked.
"A new combat suit. Considering that you usually wear a combat suit, the higher-ups asked the technical department to make a new combat suit for you." Uriel said, "It doesn't matter whether you wear it or not. I don't think it will have any big impact, but it can protect your head and body. Your abilities are not stable enough, and you may accidentally hurt yourself."
"It's a bit troublesome."
"This is not a wise choice." Uriel said expressionlessly, "It won't be too late to throw away this suit when you can fully control your powers after the second mutation."
"Just like when a child starts riding a bicycle, he needs training wheels, otherwise he will fall and cry loudly."
Urushihara Ruri said jokingly, walked towards the cabin exit first, and walked down the gangway.
"Has she always been like this?" Gu Qinye looked at her back and turned to ask Yuriel.
"She is very outgoing and no one knows what she is thinking. She is very mysterious." Yuriel commented, and then said, "We are not in a hurry to leave. There has been no attack warning from Xinye Township Prison. You can take a look on the plane first."
She said this, but her hands were busy playing online games on her tablet.
Gu Qinye looked at her and immediately understood why she was "not in a hurry to leave". After the plane finally landed and connected to the Wifi, this internet-addicted girl of course had to finish all the daily tasks of her mobile phone games.
Gu Qinye asked her why she didn't let someone else manage the account.
She said that would be meaningless. She doesn't play every game, but she chooses two or three games on the table every week, and changes a few the next week, depending on fate.
Gu Qinye shrugged, found a seat in the cabin and sat down. After thinking for a while, he opened the lock of the suitcase with a "click" and the suitcase opened outwards.
The first thing he saw was a pitch-black metal mask with sharp edges and a slight protrusion at the philtrum, revealing the lips. The battle suit alternated between black and dark blue, and the body curves carved on it were extremely smooth, as natural as breathing.
"I still don't think it's necessary," he said. "If you really need it, just keep a mask to ensure that I don't electrocute my brain."
"Why? Is it because you want to say goodbye to the past?" Uriel asked.
"Yes, there are too many troubles." Gu Qiye said, "Plus wearing a battle suit will slow me down. I did that before because I had to hide my identity, but now it is no longer necessary."
"That's fine. It's up to you."
Soon after the two got off the plane, they walked out of the private airport. Urushihara Ruri was waiting for them at the airport entrance. This was on a mountain in Hokkaido. The location was extremely secluded. Looking around, you could see a large green forest and towering mountains.
Under the warm summer sun, the three of them headed towards the Hokkaido Prison for Supernatural Powers, Xinye Township. This private airport was located near Xinye Township, only one or two kilometers away. The plane was in camouflage mode during the flight, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and being discovered by the White Crow Brigade.
Yuriel had already changed into a black tights and put on black gloves; Urushihara Ruri was still dressed casually, while Gu Qinye was wearing a black shirt and carrying a suitcase containing the mask. He left his battle suit on the plane, and the suitcase suddenly became a lot lighter.
After walking for a while, the phone in Yuriel's tights suddenly vibrated.
She took out her phone and took a look at it. Then she raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at the two of them: "There's news from Xinye Township that the prison was attacked... The people from the White Crow Brigade have arrived."
