Chapter 28: Truth
"I have to go to bed early when I get home..." Ji Minghuan thought, "My mentor will come to see me soon, so I must concentrate on using my main body to deal with him."
It was late, the dusk was getting darker, and the streets were deserted. Under the dim yellow street lights, a bicycle crossed the street, and the rustling sound of the chain was clearly audible.
Ji Minghuan bought a donut on the way. He remembered that when he was still in the welfare home, Kong Youling liked to eat this very much: every time the nurses brought back donuts, he would always tell her that he didn't like sweets and then give her his share.
Now when I eat it alone, it doesn’t taste as good as I remember. Perhaps after leaving the poor and cramped environment of the welfare home and the fuss of the children around me, the donuts that seemed so rare at the time have lost their flavor.
But as he tasted the food, he seemed to see Kong Youling, who was only 9 years old at the time, sitting next to him, eating in small bites, with her snow-white hair swaying like a little white hamster.
From time to time, she would look back at him while biting a donut, write on the notebook and ask, "Are you really not going to eat it?"
Ji Minghuan couldn't help but let out a low laugh, his eyes hidden by his falling hair.
"If... you were here too." he suddenly thought.
Holding a donut in his mouth, he opened the door with a silver-plated key and put on his home slippers.
When I walked into the living room, I saw Gu Qiye, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen, sitting on the sofa, quietly reading a book. He was reading a newly opened hardcover edition of "The Outsider", which was the book that Hei Pupa was flipping through last night when he appeared under the spotlight.
"It's rare to see you reading at home." Ji Minghuan said as he took a bite of the donut.
"Cultivate your sentiments." said Gu Qinye.
Cultivate your sentiments, or study your enemies? Ji Minghuan thought to himself.
He was not worried that Gu Qinye would find the same novel at home, because the book he brought with him last night was picked up from the bookstore with a restraint belt on the way to Lijing Square, and he returned it on the way home.
This is what a decent and high-quality villain should do, well, to be more precise, a "gray character".
"Xiaomi... hasn't come back yet?" Gu Qinye asked without raising his head while lowering his eyes to read a book.
"She said she wanted to live outside and would not come back until the end of summer vacation."
After briefly explaining what happened in the park, Ji Minghuan said that he had kept the contact information of the mixed-race girl named "Ke Qiji" and could call her when needed, and then he happily went to the second floor.
What’s strange is that Gu Qinye didn’t ask him for the girl’s number, probably because he thought Su Zimai would be angry.
This brother really understands his sister. Of course, if he knew that Su Zimai had run away with a senior exorcist, he would probably turn into a beam of lightning and run straight to the park to bring Su Zimai home.
In fact, Ji Minghuan was a little surprised. He thought that at this point in time, he would not be able to see Gu Qiye after returning home. Instead, he could only see the big star of Lijing City, the alien "Blue Arc", on TV.
Of course...it's very likely that Blue Arc was injured too badly yesterday, and the Alien Association asked other people to take over his shift today, so they gave him a day off to catch his breath.
Ji Minghuan took out some clean clothes from the closet in his room and took a shower. Then he heard heavy footsteps coming from upstairs.
Gu Zhuoan's room is on the third floor, right above the bathroom on the second floor. Judging from the footsteps, Dad should be in the room now.
So Ji Minghuan stood under the shower head, washing his body with warm water while taking out the restraints and pressing them against the ceiling of the bathroom.
His senses seeped through the white walls and brought him the scene upstairs.
Gu Zhuoan was sitting motionless on the bed, staring at the photo in front of the window. The photo was a photo of him and his wife Su Ying when they were in college. He hadn't seen it for two years, and his eyes were focused.
Ji Minghuan originally thought that he was manipulating some dangerous biological weapons, but he didn't expect his father to be so infatuated.
He silently retracted the restraints from his body. After taking a shower, Ji Minghuan changed into a clean set of pajamas, slumped over on the bed, closed the door with the restraints, and then opened his personal panel, where dense information came into view.
[Character attributes: Strength (determines physical fitness): C level; Speed (determines nerve reaction): C+ level; Spirit (determines mental strength): C level]
[Currently your game character, "Black Pupa", has 2 attribute points. Do you want to allocate them immediately? ]
Ji Minghuan pressed the plus signs after "strength" and "speed" respectively, focusing on balanced development.
[The "Strength" attribute of the No. 1 game character "Black Pupa" has changed from C level to C+ level]
[The "Speed" attribute of the No. 1 game character "Black Pupa" has changed from C+ level to C++ level]
It was like an undercurrent gurgling in his body, soaking every cell, and his body functions were visibly improving. Ji Minghuan tried to do a few push-ups on the ground, and it seemed that even the movement of his muscles during exercise was much smoother.
Not only that, increasing these two attributes can also improve the strength and speed of the restraints, which is the most important thing.
He then switched to the [Character Skill Tree] panel. Like the branches of a tree, the skills on the three branches came into view at a glance.
[Branch 1 (Hidden): Binding Belt Senses (Learned) → Binding Belt Mantra (To be learned) → Unknown (After learning the "previous skill" of this branch, you can learn the details of this skill) → Unknown...]
[Branch 2 (Crazy): Extension of the restraint belt (to be learned) → Unknown → Unknown → Unknown...]
[Branch Three (Evil): Restraint Detection (already learned) → Restraint Suppression (to be learned) → Unknown → Unknown...]
"The only known way to obtain 'Split Points' is to complete the main quest. Once you create a second character, you won't end up with a situation where the first character dies and you can't obtain any Split Points. In this way, even if the first character dies, I can still use the second character to create more characters."
Ji Minghuan thought about it while pressing and holding the skill bar of "Restraint Belt Mantra".
I watched expressionlessly as it changed from dim to bright, and finally bloomed into a color with great black vitality.
[1 skill point has been consumed, and the skill of the branch "Hidden" has been successfully learned - "Strait Band Mantra" (After using the strap to tie up the opponent, you can force the opponent to speak out the words in his heart). ]
[The next skill of the branch "Hidden" has been opened for learning. 】
"Then... you can go and settle accounts with the dean in a couple of days."
Ji Minghuan recalled the past in the darkness, and his mind flashed back to the memory of the old dean leading them to worship in the Christian church. At that time, the old dean knelt in front of the stone statue of Jesus, with a hypocritical and bloated face, and his hands clasped together in prayer. The look is still impressive to him.
"Old Dean, you can start praying to your God, praying... that you can give me a satisfactory answer."
He whispered to himself, the hellish color of the red and black tree branches reflected in his pupils.
It will be launched in a trial in two days, please vote.
