Chapter 293 Gu Wenyu: I am the Black Pupa (asking for monthly tickets)
The train demon was traveling rapidly through the time and space tunnel. In carriage No. 7, a slender black shadow said something.
Then he raised his hand and slowly took off the metal mask on his face.
At this moment, the world was silent, and the rumbling sound of the engine seemed to have disappeared. Ke Qirui watched this scene silently, with shock and surprise flashing in his eyes, but more of it was confusion, confusion that could not be resolved.
Her thoughts were almost in a mess, but Hei Pupa turned a blind eye and seemed to have no intention of explaining.
He took off his mask, closed his eyes, raised his face expressionlessly, and breathed in a breath of fresh air, just like a goldfish floating out of water to breathe.
Ke Qirui took a deep breath and stared in horror at the young man who closed his eyes and took a deep breath. No matter how many times she looked at him, she had to admit that she was not dazzled and the scene before her was not an illusion.
That’s right, the young man’s face that came into view was undoubtedly Su Zimai’s second brother.
Gu Wenyu.
No matter how he tried to convince himself, no matter how real the scene before him was, Ke Qirui found it difficult to reconcile this childish face with the strange, playful, and almost omniscient shadow in his memory.
But the truth was laid out before their eyes - the dark red mask in Gu Wenyu's hand emitted a cold light in the darkness, reflecting Ke Qirui's bewildered face.
Ke Qirui was full of thoughts.
In fact, as early as a month ago, Ke Qirui had guessed this possibility: Gu Wenyu is the black pupa.
At that time, she even discussed with Su Zimai how to remove Gu Wenyu's mask and expose his true colors. However, after a series of tests, she had to reject her own guess.
But because of this, she was even more surprised at this moment, more surprised than anyone else. A possibility that she had rejected long ago was suddenly confirmed today, a month later.
It's like a bullet fired in the past, hitting you right in the middle of your eyebrows at this moment.
It took her a long time to process the scene before her.
The park in Lijing, the ramen restaurant in Japan, every place where Hei Pupa appeared, the memories of her past interactions with Gu Wenyu and Hei Pupa, now came flooding in and submerged her mind.
Although this was an afterthought, all the unreasonable things were connected together, and finally a reasonable and shocking explanation was obtained:
——Gu Wenyu is the black pupa.
After a while, Ke Qirui finally let go of the pipe in her mouth, and her slightly confused expression changed.
"Gu...Wenyu?"
She slowly read out the other person's name, and the voice that echoed in the carriage was full of surprise, but was soon drowned out by the rumble of the train.
The carriage was still dead silent.
Gu Wenyu did not rush to answer her, but put the mask on the seat beside him and smoothed his flattened hair.
After that, he raised his eyes and met Ke Qirui's gaze without blinking.
"Come on, who else could it be? Do I have a twin brother?" he asked curiously.
After removing the voice changer, both the voice and accent of his speech sound like an ordinary young boy.
"So it's you..." Ke Qirui still hadn't come back to her senses. She looked straight into his eyes and murmured, "Wait a minute, this isn't some kind of disguise or something like that, is it?"
"Yes, it's really me. Otherwise, you can try to tear off my skin." Gu Wenyu put the mask into his pocket and said jokingly, "Well... Actually, Gui Zhong also tried this, but the situation was special at that time, so it was useless even if he tore off my skin."
Ke Qirui put the pipe into his pocket and stared at him motionlessly.
After a moment, she lowered her eyes and said while recalling, "When we first met in the park and you shook hands with me..."
Gu Wenyu interrupted her, "At that time, I didn't know your origins, so I tested you with the restraint belt. Then, I knew you were an exorcist."
"Is that so..." Ke Qirui lowered his head and thought, then suddenly smiled, "I said that the strange feeling at that time was not my illusion, but too many things happened later, so I didn't dwell on it any more."
"You're right. It saved me a lot of trouble." Gu Wenyu said, "It won't do me any good to reveal my identity too early. At least we won't be able to get along so well at the auction."
"By the way, your restraint belt has so many functions. Not only can it change color, steal superpowers, seal superpowers, force the opponent to tell the truth, but it can even read the opponent's memory the moment it touches the opponent?"
"Haha, then just think of it as reading memories."
"So, you already trusted me at that time?"
"My sister is not an ordinary person either, so I was not very surprised when I learned your identity." Gu Wenyu said nonchalantly, "Luckily you are a well-known figure among the exorcists, otherwise I would not be able to leave my sister to you."
He chuckled, "Although you almost led her into a ditch and made her evolve from a human into a diaper demon, I won't mind it."
Ke Qirui thought for a moment and said, "Then how did you manage to appear in front of the Tokyo Tower and us at the same time at the ramen restaurant? This doesn't make sense."
"You still can't understand? It should be easy to guess."
Gu Wenyu raised his eyebrows and spoke with interest, then raised his hand and peeled off a black restraint belt from the cuff of his black windbreaker.
The restraints fell to the floor with a hiss like thousands of small snakes, gradually piling up into a human shape. Then the human shape stood up, with the restraints wrapped around its entire body.
Ke Qirui looked at this scene and murmured with a complicated expression: "So it's a clone... I should have expected it earlier. Black Pupa's methods can't be that simple."
She let out a long sigh, "After all, you have surprised me too many times."
"It's just luck." Gu Wenyu said lightly.
"Just good luck? You're really too modest. You've obviously played us around like crazy, and almost everything is under your control. I thought you were a messenger sent by some god, or an unknown prophet."
“Actually, I’m quite scared of you.”
"Why?" Ke Qirui was puzzled.
Gu Wenyu said unhappily, "Because your intuition is so accurate that it's a little bit unlike a human. For a while, I had to walk around you, for fear that you would discover my identity with just a glance."
"Actually, my intuition was brought by SkyDrive." Ke Qirui explained, "My retro one-way mirror does more than just store and summon demons. It also brings me superb inspiration and excellent intuition. That's why I felt strange that time. Generally speaking, my intuition is rarely wrong, but it didn't work on you."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
"Actually, I think I should be afraid of you. Do you know how I feel now?" Ke Qirui curled the corners of his mouth.
"Tell me about it?"
Ke Qirui let out a long sigh, looked up at Gu Wenyu, then quickly looked away and said with emotion:
"It's like watching a fake person swaying in front of me. My worldview seems to be about to be overturned. I feel like I'm going to have a nightmare when I go home tonight."
"Whatever you say." Gu Wenyu shrugged his shoulders and thought that the person in front of him was a fake.
"Are you really only seventeen years old?" Ke Qirui suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask such a question?"
"From the bottom of my heart, I don't believe that a 17-year-old can have such ability to build a complex network of interpersonal relationships, get involved with every force, exchange information, and guide everyone around you... And the most unbelievable thing is that you can even get involved with a mysterious organization like the Salvation Society and fight against them. I am puzzled."
Gu Wenyu was reading and thinking, could I really tell you that I am only twelve years old?
He curled his lips and said teasingly: "If I am an adult, why do I still need you to be my cross-border driver?"
Ke Qirui was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, "So, it turns out that you are really a minor, so you can't buy a cross-border ticket by yourself."
"That's why I said your intuition is frighteningly accurate. You can always say something shocking. From my perspective, don't you think you're scary?"
“No matter what…” Ke Qirui raised his eyes and looked at this seemingly ordinary boy again, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, “Gu Wenyu, you hid it really well. I just recovered now. I really lost completely.”
She laughed at herself, put the pipe between her lips, lowered her eyes and asked, "So why did you only tell me?"
"Because I thought about it for a while, telling you this will not actually have any impact on my actions."
"That's true. I'm not your relative, so I have no right to point fingers at you." Ke Qirui nodded to show her understanding, and then asked, "So, you have been secretly protecting Xiaomai?"
"How can we not protect her?" Gu Wenyu said, "I hope you can keep the things I just told you secret from my sister for the time being."
"I understand. You are worried that after you die, your sister still won't know who Black Pupa is."
"Yes, if I really die next, you can tell her my identity." Gu Wenyu said nonchalantly, "In fact, I really want to take off the mask in front of her to see the reaction of this idiot sister, but it is possible that I can't see it."
Ke Qirui looked at Gu Wenyu silently, then turned his head to look out the window and remained silent for a long time.
One of them was reading a detective novel, and the other was reading a philosophy book to kill time.
In the silence, the scenery outside the car window passed by quickly: Tokyo Tower, Empire State Building, Big Ben, Perlan... Buildings that should not have appeared in the same place were connected in a disordered time and space.
After a moment, Ke Qirui let go of the pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then sighed softly.
"I take back what I said before. I thought that if you died, Xiaomai would only be sad for a while, and then forget about you immediately." She said meaningfully, "Now it seems different. She will be so sad that she can't cheer up."
"That's better than hiding it from her." Gu Wenyu thought about it and suddenly sneered, "I have a good friend who didn't know who I was until he was about to die. Do you think he's stupid?"
"You are such a jerk. Do you have to think about revenge?" Ke Qirui shook his head. "Wouldn't it be better to just live peacefully?"
"I can't. Actually, I have some connections with the Salvation Society, but how can I explain it?" Gu Wenyu said, "Just like what Lin Zhengquan investigated, it's not convenient for me to tell you."
He paused for a moment and said, "And Hong Yi happens to be directly related to the Salvation Society. I can't stop investigating. Even if there is only one clue, I have to catch it. But I don't know what the result will be."
"Xiaomi, she says she dislikes you, but she actually likes you as a brother."
"I know."
"Are you still unwilling to tell her in person?" Ke Qirui said, "Tell her that 'you are actually the black pupa'."
"If I come back alive, I'll tell her myself; but if not, I'll ask you to tell her."
"But I still can't hide it from Xiaomai. Otherwise, if her brother dies in such an unclear way, she will definitely resent me for the rest of her life."
"Then do you think that if Su Zimai knew what I was involved in, would she just sit back and do nothing?"
"No. With Xiaomai's personality, she will definitely come to help you no matter how dangerous it is."
"That's right." Gu Wenyu said, "If you really care about her a little bit, you shouldn't tell her now."
Ke Qirui was silent for a moment, "Okay, I promise you."
She slowly raised her head, looked directly into Gu Wenyu’s eyes, and said softly, “But from the bottom of my heart, Gu Wenyu, I hope you can survive.”
