Chapter 294 Electric Current Memory, the Last Undercover (asking for monthly tickets)
The carriage was brightly lit but completely silent, with only the rumbling sound of the engine ringing in my ears.
Black Pupa had already put on his mask again and turned on his voice changer, and the metal fit around his skull, wrapping around the back of his head.
He was playing Minesweeper on his phone while reading a book silently. The restraints made a rustling sound as the pages were turned. Ke Qirui, who was sitting opposite him, was also reading a book, but it was a detective novel.
"By the way, do your other collaborators know who you are?" Ke Qirui thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Uh... So far, only you and my grandfather know." Hei Pu said, "Of course, when I achieve my goal, there will be no need to continue pretending. More and more people will know my identity."
"What you mean is... even Xia Pingzhou doesn't know who you are?" Ke Qirui asked curiously, looking up into his eyes.
"Xia Pingzhou? Who the hell is Xia Pingzhou? Is he worthy of knowing who I am?"
At this point, Hei Pupa couldn't help but shrugged, "He's just a small dragon-level fry. Who else can he bully besides the Diaper Demon?"
"I see." Ke Qirui smiled, "Then I should be honored to be the first person besides your grandfather to know this fact."
"Yes, this is the treatment of a dedicated driver. Even my brother and my father don't know my identity."
"Why does it sound a bit like, 'My father and my brother have never hit me'?" Ke Qirui joked.
"Indeed, if they knew my identity one day, they would really give me a good beating."
As he spoke, Hei Pupa scratched his chin, "But I was probably already underground by then. They couldn't have kicked my tombstone to vent their anger, right?"
Ke Qirui ignored his evil joke, picked up his pipe, and asked calmly:
"Come to think of it, you didn't fall in love with me at first sight, did you?"
"Why do you say that?"
"You only revealed your identity to me. I must first state that I do not date minors."
"You're being a little too sentimental. I'm a transgender awakened woman with an independent personality. The probability of me falling in love with you at first sight is close to zero." Hei Pu narrowed his eyes. "Besides, you might as well say that you don't date boys. That would be more convincing."
"Where's the persuasiveness?"
"Need I say that? Our diaper demon is completely obsessed with you."
Black Pupa lowered his head and sighed in disappointment. "I thought my brother would teach you a lesson, but he actually said, 'Respect and understand, as long as Xiaomai is happy'. I almost fainted from anger at that time."
"Don't joke like that. If the big idol Blue Arc really comes to hunt me down, I'll really have to flee on a train overnight."
"He is no longer a big idol. In other people's eyes, he is just a controversial dead man." Hei Pu said calmly, "In the information age, everyone will forget about him soon, and a new replacement will appear soon."
"Your brother is very determined. He gave up the fame and fortune he had worked hard for several years and plunged into a journey of revenge, which he didn't know whether it would have a good outcome or not." Ke Qirui said with emotion.
"He's always been like this." said Black Pupa.
"Xia Pingzhou is the same." Ke Qirui suddenly said, "With his talent, if he stayed in the Exorcist Association, he would definitely be a big shot now."
"Uh..." Hei Pu raised his head, "I feel like you care too much about Xia Pingzhou."
"Really?" Ke Qirui raised his eyebrows.
"Don't you have to ask about his current situation every time you meet me?" Hei Pu narrowed his eyes and stared at her. "The frequency is a bit too high."
"Actually, it's because the president likes him very much and often asks me about him."
"President?"
"The president of the China Lijing Exorcist Association is also my adoptive father." Ke Qirui explained, "When Xia Pingzhou quit the association because of the red light incident, the president told me many times that he felt it was a pity that such a great talent left the world of exorcists like this, but the president did not force Xia Pingzhou to stay because of his own selfish desires."
"Fate has been so unfortunate, and he certainly didn't expect that Xia Pingzhou would fall into an even more dangerous situation."
"Maybe this is fate." Ke Qirui said with emotion, "But is he really only at the Dragon level now?"
"Of course, didn't you see it with your own eyes? He and the Diaper Demon fought back and forth." Black Pupa said slowly, "It's only been half a month since the auction started. Even if Xia Pingzhou's talent is strong, he can't cross the threshold of quasi-disaster level."
"Then the question is, how will he defeat the Ripper?" Ke Qirui said, "I just got news from the president these two days. They said that the White Crow Brigade attacked the Xinye Township Prison in Hokkaido, killed the disaster-level warden, and kidnapped a prisoner."
She lowered her voice and said, "You happened to be in Hokkaido too. You can't tell me that you don't know about this, right?"
Black Pupa said without hesitation: "According to my investigation, the warden is a member of the Salvation Society, so I have a mutually beneficial cooperation with the White Crow Brigade, and I have obtained a lot of key intelligence."
Ke Qirui already knew enough. Just the incident at the red light would have caused a huge reaction if it had been heard by the Salvation Society.
So he didn't mind letting Ke Qirui know more things. After all, the two of them had been tied to the same rope for a long time.
"I see. I was wondering how you got involved in this matter." Ke Qirui thought for a while, "Actually, what I care about more is that the intelligence said that Xia Pingzhou killed a quasi-disaster-level soldier named 'Flame Ghost'."
She paused and said, "If Xia Pingzhou is really at the Dragon level as you said, how did he do this?"
"Broaden your horizons. Isn't it common for the protagonists in novels to kill enemies above their level? Think about it, Xia Pingzhou's experience is a perfect example of a standard protagonist."
After saying this, Hei Pu pinched his fingers and counted them one by one, "The reason I say this is, first of all, because he is a genius that is rare in the world, secondly, because his entire family died, and finally, his entire family died."
Ke Qirui smiled helplessly, too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Hei Pupa, and just reminded:
"Although the president likes Xia Pingzhou very much, if this continues, Xia Pingzhou will go further and further towards becoming a sinner... He killed a good person."
"If he doesn't take action, someone else will. He is just forced to do so." Hei Pu said, "And Xia Pingzhou doesn't care whether he is a good guy or a bad guy. He only cares whether he can complete his revenge... The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, isn't that right?"
"But can he really defeat the Ripper?" Ke Qirui asked, "According to the latest information I have, the Ripper is already a third-level exorcist. The evolved Sky Exorcist has changed her form. She should have reached the level of a natural disaster."
"Don't worry... Xia Pingzhou will do something even more amazing than you can imagine."
Hei Pupa closed the book, and the rumbling sound of the engine was heard in his ears.
The train demon rushed out of the time tunnel at this moment. With the sound of emergency brakes, the sun hit my face. The train has arrived in New York, an abandoned train station that no one cares about.
The local time in New York is more than ten hours slower than that in Lijing. So it was already the morning of August 9 in Lijing, while the clock in New York had just turned to the evening of August 8.
It seems like a lifetime ago.
After getting off the train, Hei Pupa looked up at the sky at nightfall, and waved goodbye to Ke Qirui. Then he wrapped his whole body in camouflage with a restraint belt and left the train station.
He swung between towering buildings and finally hung upside down under a tall building in Times Square.
The black pupa hung upside down, silently looking at the brightly lit street, waiting for someone's message.
After a while, he felt a vibration in his windbreaker pocket. He took out his phone and took a look.
[Gu Qiye: I have figured out who killed my mother. Come out and see me.]
[Black Pupa: Why do we need to meet? Can't you just type the members' information on your phone and send it to me? ]
【Gu Qiye: I’ll know once I see you.】
[Black Pupa: Okay, send me the location, and I will remain invisible the entire time. ]
The black pupa flew out of Times Square, fell rapidly in the howling night wind, and then dived into the streets of Manhattan, hanging upside down under the support plate of the air-conditioning case.
Not far away is a park with people coming and going. White pigeons are flying in the twilight and fountains are splashing water.
Gu Qinye also arrived quickly and was very punctual.
He sat down on a public wooden bench on the street, with a graffiti-covered wall behind him.
At this moment, an invisible insect pupa was hanging upside down under the air-conditioning case above his head.
The two of them were only a few centimeters apart, one above and one below. No one made a sound.
To be honest, Hei Pu still didn't understand what Gu Qiye wanted to do. Why did he have to risk such a great danger to meet him?
He observed Gu Qinye silently, and Gu Qinye was also playing with his mobile phone silently.
The black pupa's body maintained its color change, but the two were so close that Gu Qiye should have been able to feel the change in airflow and should have known that he was hanging upside down above his head, but he didn't show any reaction.
After a moment, a thin beam of black electric light suddenly burst out from Gu Qinye's fingertips.
The electric current silently penetrated the air, touched the black pupa's neck, and then passed along the blood vessels to his brain nerves.
The black pupa was startled, and then the pupils under the mask contracted slightly.
As he felt a tingling sensation throughout his bones, large amounts of disjointed memories suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Brother transmitted his memories to me through electric current? Is this the sophistication of the abilities of a disaster-level ability user?" He narrowed his eyes and thought in his mind.
It was not until this moment that he finally understood why Gu Qinye wanted to meet him in person.
First of all, Gu Qiye didn't have any photos of the Rainbow Wing members. He wanted Black Pupa to be familiar with the faces of the eleven members of Rainbow Wing. The only way he could do that was to transfer their memories using electric current.
Secondly, if other information about Rainbow Wing members is transmitted by typing on a mobile phone, there is a possibility that errors will occur in memory.
Therefore, meeting in person and using electric current to transfer memories to the black pupa is the most convenient and safest approach for Gu Qiye.
This will ensure that errors do not occur when transmitting intelligence, resulting in a series of unnecessary accidents.
At this moment, the memory picture transmitted to the black pupa's mind was not vague.
First, the elevator car rumbled down. In the car, Gu Qinye was looking at a tablet computer. Next to him was a white-haired girl named Yuriel.
The tablet records her impressions of every member of Rainbow Wing, and also lists the members' abilities, but she only knows the abilities of some members.
No. 1: Fan Dongqing (code name: Liqing Boat) (China)
No. 2: Ke Qingzheng (code name: Liushao) (China)
No. 3: Urushihara Ruri (Codename: Thousand Return Hand) (Japan)
No. 4: Uriel (Codename: Ice Girl) (Iceland)
No. 5: Kalina (Codename: Polar Scholar) (USA)
No. 6: Oda Hideo (Codename: The Last Sword Ghost) (Japan)
No. 7: Alexandra Ivanovna (code name: Princess) (Russia)
No. 8: Gu Qiye (Codename: Black Flash) (China)
Number 9: Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine (Codename: Queen of Arms) (Russia)
10: Esther Doolittle (codename: Gothic Doll) (UK)
No. 11: Garfield West (Codename: Overloader) (USA)
No. 12: Undisclosed name (Codename: Puppet Father) (UK)
In the file in Gu Qinye's memory, the one who impressed Hei Pu the most was naturally Hongyi's No. 12 - Anonymous, the "Father of Puppet".
The special ability of this anonymous person is to turn dead special-ability users into puppets.
And Hongyi’s predecessor No. 8, the "Machine Soul Bodhisattva" Ajaya who died in the Sahara Desert, was made into a puppet by the Puppet Father.
At this moment, Hei Pu's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly recalled the information he had forced out of the warden Julius through the "Restraint Belt Mantra".
"Julius, which members of Rainbow Wing have you met?"
"Urushihara, Ruri, Kalina... Oda Hideo, there's another person, no... no, there should be another person, I don't know his name. But he called Ajaya, he called my old friend Ajaya..."
The electric current passed through the brain, but the black pupa still hung upside down in the air without moving.
Combining the information he got from Gu Qiye and Julius, he thought silently:
"From the information revealed by Julius, it can be confirmed that the 'Thousand Returning Hand' Urushihara Ruri, the 'Polar Scholar' Kalina, and the 'Last Sword Demon' Oda Hideo are the undercover agents of the Salvation Society planted in Rainbow Wing."
"And Julius also said that he didn't know the name of the last undercover agent, but that undercover agent was related to the 'Machine Soul Bodhisattva' Ajaya... and in my memory, the 'Puppet Father' made Ajaya into a puppet - this is most likely arranged by the Salvation Society."
"It seems that the last undercover agent of the Salvation Society should be No. 12 of Hongyi, the Puppet Father."
Thinking of this, Hei Jin slowly raised his head, only to see that Gu Qiye, who had just been sitting on the public wooden chair, had walked away.
