Chapter 285 Death, Loss of Control, Promise (asking for monthly ticket)
His fingers tapped the table absentmindedly, making a clicking sound. Ji Minghuan was currently tilting his head in a daze, waiting for his tutor to speak.
The silver-white prison cell was silent, like an empty lake.
"Kong Youling, a few days ago when we were helping her develop her abilities..." the instructor paused, "she accidentally killed several experimenters." The sudden words were like a rainstorm, creating ripples on the surface of the lake.
Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head and stared at his instructor motionlessly.
"Does she know it herself?" he asked softly.
"She was unconscious at the time and probably didn't know what she had done. I was trying to keep it from her as much as possible."
"You don't have to hide it from her, as long as you don't do it in the first place."
The instructor shook his head. "Our people only approached her and released her special powers. In an instant, they all entered a state of brain death, but their bodies still maintained basic vital signs."
"Why is this happening?"
"Because her abilities are evolving." The instructor said softly, "There is another reason. During these days when we used the collar to suppress her abilities, it actually prevented her mental power from leaking out naturally. So once it is suddenly released, this tremendous mental power will pour out unstoppably."
"Oh, it's not your fault then?"
"You want her to be an ordinary person, but she can't be an ordinary person with her qualifications. If there is no salvation society, her potential will be discovered by the country sooner or later." The mentor said, "Only we can give you a stable life. As long as you find the key, you can definitely do it."
Ji Minghuan remained silent.
After drinking the milk in one gulp, he pushed the empty bottle aside and looked up at his mentor.
"Are you crazy?" he said.
"To be honest, we never thought this would happen." The instructor said, "I found out the reason why Kong Youling was deaf through my research before, and I helped her slowly regain her hearing over the past few days; so I was wondering if her inability to speak was also due to the influence of her psychic powers, so..."
"Stop pretending. What do you want to do?" Ji Minghuan asked word by word. "You don't really want to use her ability to hypnotize those people in the Lake Hunt?"
The instructor remained silent and shook his head.
"Remember to keep it a secret from her." Ji Minghuan whispered, "Don't let her know that I accidentally killed one of your people, otherwise I will kill you all."
"I know."
"Okay, I want to see her."
"She's on her way," the instructor said. "Wait a minute."
After the words were spoken, a brief silence fell between the two of them.
The cell was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Ji Minghuan held his chin and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. The tutor took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a deep puff, and then exhaled the smoke.
The mentor lowered his head and said softly, "Julius, it's a pity that he died."
"Do you have a good relationship with the officer uncle?" Ji Minghuan raised his head and asked tentatively, "Is his death worth your sadness?"
The instructor remained silent, only raising his hand to take a puff of cigarette, the smoke lingering on his fingertips.
After a moment, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said:
"Yes, we have known each other for a long time. Julius is one of the oldest members of the Salvation Society. The Salvation Society was founded hundreds of years ago, and Julius is already 150 years old. He was seriously injured by a passing restricted 1001 during the Battle of Verdun a hundred years ago. The Salvation Society found Julius on the battlefield and saved him, so he joined us."
The mentor paused and said with emotion: "In the past hundred years, the members of the Salvation Society have been replaced by several groups. Among the older generation, only Julius is still alive."
"Oh, then you must be very angry. Did the people from the White Crow Brigade kill him?" Ji Minghuan asked curiously.
"No, I'm just blaming myself." The instructor shook his head. "At the time, I proposed to send reinforcements, but Julius thought it was unnecessary. If I had insisted on placing one or two people in Xinye Township Prison as support at that time, Julius would not have fallen into this situation; at the very least, he could have evacuated the prison."
"Isn't that his problem?" Ji Minghuan said, "He's just a self-righteous fool."
"He's actually a very good person, but he has a bad temper. However, he is very friendly to his subordinates. When I first joined the Savior Society, I was assigned to work under Julius."
At this point, the mentor paused and said, "He looks stern, but he is actually very soft-hearted. Every time we go out on a mission, Julius will try his best to take all the dangerous things on his shoulders. Once he said to me, 'I am so old now, I will definitely go to the grave before you. When you have time in the future, please come to see me with two bottles of red wine.' Unexpectedly... this has really come true."
He lowered his voice and said, "A man who was once known as the 'Lord of War' ended up dying at the hands of a group of bandits. He must have felt very upset, right? When I first met him, he was so proud. At that time, he didn't realize that he was old and there were things he couldn't do."
At the end, the instructor chuckled softly and took a puff of cigarette.
Ji Minghuan shrugged his shoulders and was too lazy to respond. He just leaned back in the chair and tapped the table lightly with his right index finger.
He thought, it’s okay, I will send you to see him in a month.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "By the way, can I see my brother and that Zeus brother?"
"No, wait a little longer." The instructor said, "Don't worry, you will see it."
"Actually, I'm just simply curious. I don't want to meet them at all, especially my brother."
"You have to meet each other eventually." The instructor said firmly.
"Okay, okay. Actually, I'm not interested in listening to you complaining here. What about the old officer who punishes children but is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and very kind-hearted? What about the light-eating bees? What about the brigade? None of it has anything to do with me. This is a matter between you adults."
"I'm sorry for bringing negative emotions to you."
"Don't apologize, I want to see Kong Youling." Ji Minghuan looked up at him, "Didn't you say she was on her way? It's been so long, why haven't we seen her yet?"
"She...seemed to say she wasn't coming." The instructor glanced at the tablet in his hand.
"Why?" Ji Minghuan frowned.
"It's not clear yet. Anyway, I'll take you to find her." As he said that, the instructor put out his cigarette, stuffed the butt into the pocket of his white coat, then stood up and left the cell.
Ji Minghuan followed silently. As always, the bright light outside the prison room was blinding.
After a while, the two of them walked through a maze-like winding corridor, and then the instructor stopped.
The instructor watched Ji Minghuan walk into the prison room. Ji Minghuan tilted his head and watched the metal door slowly close. The man's gloomy face disappeared in the gap. He maintained a sad and tired expression in the last second.
What an old fox, he really plays the whole game, Ji Minghuan sneered in his mind, then turned around.
He blinked and looked curiously at the silver-white dormitory in front of him.
Relatively speaking, Kong Youling's room has a lot more things, such as some little penguin dolls and little fox dolls on the bed, as well as beautiful patterned sheets and bookshelves.
There were many cartoon books on the bookshelf. The TV was playing Doraemon, Nobita and Doraemon were being chased by dinosaurs, and noisy fighting sounds came from the TV screen. Apart from that, the prison room was silent, like a deep sea.
After looking around, Ji Minghuan finally found a figure in the corner of the room. He saw a white-haired girl in a hospital gown curled up in the corner, covered with a quilt.
Scattered on the ground were pages torn from notebooks, with messy black lines drawn on them, circles of lines piled up, meaningless strokes.
She hung her head, hugged her knees and didn't move, like a broken little robot.
Ji Minghuan walked over, looked at the painting on the ground, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
Kong Youling then raised his eyes from his knees. Under his white hair were a pair of misty eyes.
"I...did something bad." Write.
"What did you do?"
Kong Youling wanted to write, but she couldn't lift the pen. She suddenly hugged her head and lowered it as if frightened, with her white hair hanging on her face.
Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, then sat down beside her, leaning his back against the wall.
"It's okay, just forget it if you don't want to talk about it." He thought for a moment, then gestured on the ground with his fingers, keeping her sight.
After writing, he turned his head and looked into her eyes seriously and quietly.
After a long time, Kong Youling picked up a pencil and wrote slowly. She wrote and erased, wrote and erased, and finally her tears fell silently, hitting the notebook and blurring her crooked handwriting.
She lowered her hands and put down the book. Her lips moved slightly, and she said silently with her lips:
“Am I a bad person?”
"Don't be afraid, they are all bad people. They are wrong. It's their fault that they had bad intentions, so they died." Ji Minghuan lowered his head, and his drooping hair covered his eyes.
He hugged her head tighter, "So what if you're a bad guy? Then I'll be the worse one... It doesn't matter, don't hate yourself, anyway... I will kill them all sooner or later without leaving a single one alive."
After a while, Ji Minghuan didn't look away from the white-haired girl until he was sure she was sleeping soundly in his arms. He slowly raised his head, staring at the monitor with his dark and empty eyes.
He said something silently, and no one could hear it.
At 7:30 am on August 9th, Japan time, Xia Pingzhou woke up from the roof of the attic.
He opened his eyes, checked the time on his phone, then slowly sat up, looked far away at the gray junction of the sea and sky, and stared at the rising sun on the horizon for a while.
After a moment, he called up the main mission panel and took a look to confirm the situation after the prison break mission was completed.
[Main Mission 1 (Phase 5): Automatically unlocked after reaching a certain time point.]
[Main Mission 2 (Phase 2): Lurk in the White Crow Brigade and wait for an opportunity to kill the second member, "Jack the Ripper". (The deadline for completing the mission is "September 1st", and there are only 21 days left in the final countdown)]
[Tip: If you fail to complete the second main mission before the time limit expires, the aircraft will be automatically destroyed.]
Xia Pingzhou looked at the time limit, closed the panel, fell from the edge of the roof into the attic, stepped down from the windowsill and stepped onto the floor. Then he picked up a copy of "Rashomon" from the bookshelf, raised it high, and let it go.
The book fell to the ground with a bang, and Ayase Origami on the bed woke up and opened her eyes.
"Breathing." she said.
Xia Pingzhou looked at the message on his phone and said, "You should be awake at this time. Staying in bed will mess up your body clock. I'm going to make food. Someone will come over later."
After saying that, he walked into the bathroom and quickly washed up, and prepared a toothbrush and toothpaste for Ayase Origami. Then he walked down the wooden stairs with a creaking sound, walked to the door, and pulled up to open the gate.
The sunlight shone through the glass door, and the wind chimes rang softly. He looked up and saw two figures standing outside the glass door waiting.
One was a girl with long straight black hair wearing a school uniform, holding a dark red scabbard in her hand; the other was a long-haired man wearing a white shirt and rimless glasses, who curled his lips at Xia Pingzhou and smiled.
Rukawa Chiba said, "Nice to meet you."
The Ripper said, "Open the door."
Xia Pingzhou glanced at the two of them, then silently pushed open the glass door, turned back and walked into the kitchen, and started making coffee while watching the situation outside out of the corner of his eye.
The Ripper walked halfway and suddenly summoned Tianqi, holding the demon sword in his right hand, and then stabbed it into Rukawa Chiba's chest!
