Chapter 352 The Mystery of the Prophet, the Talking Kong Youling (Two-in-one monthly ticket request)
"You mean, the prophet... might be the restricted-level mutant 1001?" Ji Minghuan was stunned.
Ke Ojiena drooped her eyelids and nodded silently.
This traitor of the Royal Court team seemed to find it troublesome to even say one more word, which was exactly the same impression she left on Ji Minghuan when she was still in the Whale Box Garden. Even in the exhibition match at that time, all the members of the Royal Court team, including Li Qingping, showed up, and only Ke Ojiena found an excuse to shirk.
This shows how lazy she is.
Ji Minghuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, his mind in a mess. He thought, if the prophet is really restricted level 1001, then a restricted level psychic will come to see me in a few days? What a joke, I can't afford this risk.
After a moment, he raised his head and what caught his eyes was the cold ceiling, cold lights, cold faces. Everything was empty and deserted.
But Ji Minghuan's tone at this moment was different. "Uh...you mean, restricted-level psychic 1001 is still alive?"
"Yes, that's possible." Ke Ojiena held her chin and looked at the floor absentmindedly out of the corner of her eye.
"Then, out of boredom, he fabricated rumors and slandered a primary school student, causing that student to be locked up in this shabby place and forced to become a blackened primary school student?"
"That's possible." Keojiena said dejectedly.
"I understand. He must want me to fight him to see who is the most powerful restricted level."
"That's possible." Ke Ojiena yawned.
"Are you a repeater?"
"That's possible." said the woman with the bun hair. Her tone was like that of a teacher who, after teaching for two minutes, couldn't wait to sit on the podium and play with her phone while the students studied on their own.
Ji Minghuan could see that this person didn't seem happy working in the Salvation Society. Talking to children was a torture for her.
If the mentor is eager to flatter him, then Ke Ojiena's attitude is that I am just here to work. What does the destruction of the world have to do with me? I have to go home whether it is destroyed or not, right?
"What's the evidence that you think so?" Ji Minghuan asked unhappily.
Keojiena said lazily, "Because the prophet has helped us countless times in matters large and small, and has helped us avoid countless human disasters. This is enough to prove his ability."
She paused. "He can predict the future, and the events he predicts are almost identical to what actually happens. If there is such a person in the world, he can only be a restricted-level psychic."
As Ji Minghuan listened, his originally nervous and uneasy mood cooled down on the spot.
He raised his eyes helplessly and speculated almost word by word, "Then, since there are only a handful of restricted-level psychics, and only 1001 and I have appeared in the world so far, do you think it's possible that restricted-level 1001 is still alive?"
"right."
"Oh, so it's such an illogical conclusion. That's fine then." He sighed and said, "What about destroying the world, or predicting the future? Whatever happens in the future, just blame it on the restricted content and that's it."
"This is restricted, isn't it impressive?" Ke Ojiena asked nonchalantly. "Actually, I've never seen restricted-level stuff do anything. I think they're making a big fuss by bringing a kid like you in."
"Right?" Ji Minghuan said calmly, "At least wait until I destroy the world first. You guys are just shooting arrows first and then drawing the target. Don't elementary school students have personal rights?"
"Yeah." Ke Ojiena nodded perfunctorily and yawned. "Actually, any organization of any size is like this. Rather than pursuing correctness, the top management is more focused on 'not making mistakes.' As for small people like me... all we need to do is eat, drink, and think about what to do after get off work."
She reached out and touched the top of Ji Minghuan's head. "You'll understand when you grow up."
"Don't touch my head. My parents have never touched me. Oh... I don't have parents. That's okay."
Ji Minghuan said as he slapped her hand away, holding his chin and looking at her helplessly.
The impression given to him by the woman with a bun on her hair was indeed that she couldn't wait to get off work early. No wonder when the incident happened in the Whale's Box Garden, Ke Ojena abandoned the prince and the queen and ran away immediately, not wanting to stay for even a second.
This is the spirit and attitude a worker should have. Who would work hard for the boss?
"Okay, isn't the instructor back?" he said. "Hurry up and let him take over your class. Don't come here anymore. Seeing you half-dead every day is making me a little depressed."
"I would have done the same thing even if you hadn't told me. Do you think I enjoy staying in this godforsaken place and playing counseling with you kids? A pretty girl like me should dress up and go to a Japanese male escort club with my friends to order some gigolos."
"I'm going to cry. You contributed to the destruction of the world."
"Be good, just ignore what I said."
Ke Ojiena spoke lazily while looking at her watch. "I'm leaving. Bye, restricted kid." After that, she stood up from the chair, put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, and walked out of the detention room.
A moment later, the metal door opened again, and a man in a white coat and rimless glasses walked in. He had a sullen face and slowly moved to sit down opposite Ji Minghuan.
"Hello." Ji Minghuan raised his head and admired the expression on his face. "Long time no see. I thought you were dead."
To be honest, after knowing that the Puppet Father looked exactly like his mentor, Ji Minghuan held on to luck for a long time and prayed in his heart that while he was helping his father and elder brother to avenge themselves, he could also kill his mentor in the process, so that he could kill two birds with one stone.
But since this man appeared in front of him again, it means that the information provided by Urushihara Ruri is correct. The Puppet Father is just a clone of the mentor, and this sullen man in a bandage windbreaker is not played by the mentor himself.
"Ji Minghuan." The instructor put the thermos cup on the table and said, "I'm sorry, I've been busy with my own things recently and haven't had time to come back to accompany you. Are you bored?"
"No way? You really think of me as your confidant, like Ke Ojiena said?" Ji Minghuan sneered, "Or do you think there's any chance that a blackened elementary school student like me might suffer from 'Stockholm Syndrome'?"
The instructor was silent.
It was the first time that Ji Minghuan saw him so silent, but he knew in his heart that he was just pretending.
Two full days have passed since the uninhabited island incident. If the instructor had any emotions in his heart, he should have digested them long ago.
"Kong Youling, can she really speak now?" He asked casually, holding his chin and looking away.
"Yes."
"Oh, then I should thank you." Ji Minghuan whispered, "It's not about the matter, it's about the person. She is my only family, and you actually saved her hearing and ability to speak... Thank you."
"You don't need to be polite to me. This is my job." The instructor shook his head. "I'm supposed to assist you and help you grow both physically and mentally."
"Uh... you mean, you electrocuted me to death at the beginning? And you even found someone to play the good cop and the bad cop in front of me?"
"Maybe I was under too much pressure at first, which led to some unpleasant behaviors towards you and left a bad impression on you. But I'm already repenting."
"Where's the repentance? Didn't you realize that that method didn't work for me, so you stopped using it?"
The mentor was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I'm also human, just an ordinary person. Anyone under great pressure may make wrong judgments. After all, I'm in charge of a child who can destroy the world..."
Ji Minghuan interrupted him, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm more curious, you didn't ask Kong Youling to do anything bad during this period of time, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Just like last time, when you forced several subjects to commit suicide," Ji Minghuan said calmly. "I think your actions that time were just a way to test my attitude. You definitely had some premeditated plan, didn't you?"
"How could I possibly think so much, let alone exploit the power of an innocent girl?" The instructor sighed and shook his head. "Ji Minghuan, you're still thinking the worst of me, as always."
"Okay, okay, you'd better not let me know." Ji Minghuan said, "I don't think she will hide what happened these past few days from me. When I meet her, I will know exactly what you did."
He paused: "Or are you feeling guilty and afraid to let us meet?"
In fact, Ji Minghuan was also curious about what the tutor did during the few days he disappeared.
He said he was helping Kong Youling regain his ability to speak, but he didn't believe that his mentor would do such an insignificant thing, which was no less important than a sightseeing vacation to them, at such a critical juncture of "Rainbow Wing's attack on the Light-Eating Bees."
"Could it be lake hunting?" Ji Minghuan was suddenly stunned when his thoughts came to this.
He still remembered that his mentor had once said that he wanted to use Kong Youling's power to plant a spiritual imprint in the minds of the four Lake Hunters, so as to control the balance of the Exorcist forces.
The mentor disappeared for several days, and took Kong Youling with him. It was very likely because of the idea he mentioned a few days ago.
If we follow this line of thought and someone really falls victim to the lake hunting, it would be quite terrifying.
You should know that now the family of Unit 1 and Unit 3 are all moving around Lake Hunter's territory. Lake Hunter is about to go to war with the Nian Beast Lord. At that time, the White Crow Brigade will come from Japan to get involved. In other words, the three machines he has on hand will be involved with Lake Hunter.
If the Saviors made any move against the four members of Lake Hunter at this critical juncture, the impact would be devastating - not only would the Demon Lord and the White Crow Brigade be affected, but Unit 1's family would also be in great danger.
After the battle on the uninhabited island, the mentor must have known the relationship between Blue Arc, Ghost Bell and others and Black Pupa.
If the mentor knew that the murderer who killed Urushihara Ruri, Oda Hideo, Puppet Father and others was currently staying in the Lake Hunter's territory and being protected by the Lake Hunter's forces, then the safety of Unit 1's family would take a sharp turn for the worse.
"Oh no! Could it be that the Lake Hunters have really been infected?" Ji Minghuan thought to himself, "What should I do? As long as this possibility exists, I must verify it. However, Unit 1 doesn't have psychic abilities, so I can't confirm the situation of the four Lake Hunters."
"Think about it again, think about it carefully... Aside from Kong Youling and the instructor, the only psychic left in this world who can confirm whether Lake Lie has been tampered with is perhaps the brigade's doctor, Rukawa Chiba. Since the brigade will be in contact with Lake Lie soon, I'll see if I can get anything out of the doctor then."
He shook his head, took a deep breath, and collected his messy thoughts.
"Kong Youling is on the way here. I will let you meet him later." said the tutor.
"Okay, no matter what you're hiding from me, I'll find out by asking Kong Youling." Ji Minghuan said, "So why are you so unhappy? Did someone die in your family?"
"There's no one at home."
"Good job."
The instructor was silent for a moment. "Ji Minghuan, the four people we placed in Hongyi are all dead, including 'Urushihara Liuli', whom you met once. None of them survived, not even one person."
"Eated by a light-eating bee?" Ji Minghuan was stunned.
"No, they were killed." The instructor shook his head and pondered, "According to the information we obtained from Hongyi, the people I can confirm so far include a Shark of the Eternal Abyss, the prince from the Little Garden, 'Xizel', the super criminal 'Ghost Bell', the invisible executor of Lake Hunter, 'Su Wei', the fugitive 'Makutaki', 'Blue Arc', and finally... 'Black Pupa'."
When he mentioned the last name, the tutor suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Minghuan seriously and quietly.
Ji Minghuan's eyes were calm, but his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his expression seemed a little surprised.
"Why would they do that?" he asked.
The instructor looked at him for a moment, then picked up the thermos, unscrewed it, and took a sip of tea.
He said, "According to our investigation, Lan Hu's true identity is a boy who grew up in Lijing, his name is 'Gu Qiye', and Gui Zhong's true identity is an old man who gave up on himself after losing his wife, his name is 'Gu Zhuo'an'.
"Ghost Zhong's wife, Su Ying, died in a disaster in the Old Jingmai neighborhood five years ago. At the time, our Rainbow Wing member, the Puppet Father, was on a mission in that neighborhood. To combat a catastrophic-level fugitive, he was forced to deploy the Star Caller puppet, resulting in numerous casualties."
Ji Minghuan thought for a moment and said, "So, they're actually here to seek revenge on Hong Yi, and they've been planning this for a long time?"
"That's right, and they also found out who else we had planted within Rainbow Wing." The instructor nodded. "Otherwise, it's hard to explain why they only targeted our people while leaving the other members of Rainbow Wing unharmed."
"Oh my god, what a ridiculous plot." Ji Minghuan said, "So how do you feel now?"
"Ji Minghuan, this incident has a huge impact and has caused great turmoil within the entire Salvation Society..."
"What else? You lost so many Calamity-levels. First, Julius, then the four Rainbow Wing spies."
"Yes, everyone, from the top management to the bottom, is discussing this matter. Everyone is in a state of panic, like ants on a hot pot." The instructor held his forehead with both hands. "The people we planted in Rainbow Wing have died, which means the balance we were seeking has been shattered. I don't know how things will develop next. Everything is a mess, completely messed up, and it has completely deviated from our development."
Ji Minghuan looked at him expressionlessly, thinking to himself, this is the effect I want. This day will come to you too, but this is just the beginning. Our accounts are not settled yet.
"I'm sorry to be pouring out my troubles to you right after all these days," the instructor sighed softly, "but we're facing a very sensitive issue right now and we must confirm it with you."
"What?"
"Remember the last box garden incident?"
"Remember, the whale's box garden was destroyed."
"We already know the truth. During the Light-Eating Bee incident, the Eternal Shark and the Third Prince, Caesar, appeared on the uninhabited island as part of the Black Pupa's faction. This is enough to prove that they had already established a certain connection with the Black Pupa before the Little Garden Destruction Incident."
"Oh my god, this black pupa is so evil." Ji Minghuan opened his eyes wide and sighed.
"As for the Hokkaido Prison 'Shinye Township' incident, the figure of the Eternal Shark also appeared in Urushihara Ruri's report. This means that the incident may also be related to the 'Black Pupa'." The instructor spoke almost word by word.
"Damn, this black pupa really has done all sorts of bad things."
"Yes, both the box garden incident and the uninhabited island incident are connected to Black Pupa. So far, these are the only incidents in recent years that have been beyond the control of the Salvation Society. First, the box garden in the whale was destroyed, causing a huge disturbance in the ecological balance of the parahuman race. Then, Julius died, and finally, our undercover agents were wiped out... Everything started with the appearance of Black Pupa."
The instructor paused, "Ji Minghuan, do you really... have no impression of this character?"
After saying that, he slowly raised his head and looked directly at Ji Minghuan's face, as if he wanted to look into his eyes and understand what was going on deep in his heart.
"No." Ji Minghuan shook his head. "I just think he looks stupid and not very smart."
The tutor stared at him intently. Ji Minghuan had never seen such a dull and gloomy expression on the tutor's face. It seemed that the tutor was really angry.
After a long moment, the instructor retracted his gaze, suppressing his inner anger as he took a sip of the warm tea in his thermos. "We'll try every possible means to capture Black Pupa. I'll have him meet you then, so be prepared."
"Okay, then I'll have a lot of people to meet next, the prophet, the black pupa, and the white pupa." Ji Minghuan said, "It's really lively. I've been cooped up and feel a little empty, lonely, and cold."
The instructor was silent for a moment, then stood up from his chair, put his hands behind his back and walked away, "Kong Youling will be here soon."
The metal door rumbled open, and the instructor's back disappeared into the bright light of the corridor, but the door did not close immediately. After a while, a figure in a hospital gown walked in.
Her eyelids drooped, her snow-white hair covered her eyes, and her steps were light yet slow.
The door closed, and Kong Youling's photophobic eyes slowly adapted to the light. When she opened her eyes, she found two hands reaching out from behind and covering her eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand, and tried to pry Ji Minghuan's hand open, but she couldn't do it. In the end, she puffed up her cheeks and sulked.
"I heard our little penguin can talk." He whispered, "Is it true? Let me listen."
Kong Youling didn't say anything.
"say."
Kong Youling turned her face away.
"If it doesn't work, just mumble a few words."
"Gugugugugu."
Ji Minghuan was stunned.
He stood there blankly, loosening his hands that were covering her eyes. Kong Youling turned around and looked up to meet his gaze.
He looked into her eyes quietly for a long moment, then suddenly hugged her, gently rubbed her forehead, and said hoarsely, "You can really speak... That's great."
Kong Youling was slightly stunned, and then her eyes turned red. "I really want to talk to you."
"I know."
"I've always wanted to hear your voice."
"I know. It's all right now."
The two of them were forehead to forehead like little animals, whispering softly.
At this time, the metal door opened again, and four small figures appeared on the aisle and walked in under the terrifying bright light.
They slowly adapted to the soft light in the prison room, opened their eyelids, and saw this scene.
The children were stunned, and then their faces and ears turned red.
Mario put down the game console, said "Oh" with emotion, and then clapped his hands.
Shang Xiaochi lowered his head and clenched his fists, "Traitor... unforgivable."
Sun Changkong frowned and covered his face with his hands. Through the gaps between his fingers, he looked at them with shame and annoyance, "What on earth are you doing, Ji Minghuan!"
Firion didn't know what to say, his tail twitched and his ears stood up high.
"Look, the penguin monster can talk." Ji Minghuan didn't care about their gazes at all.
He sniffed, moved to the point of tears and snot. He rubbed his eyes and pointed at Kong Youling, saying, "Look here!" as if he was showing off the greatest treasure in the world.
"Is this true?" Mario raised his eyebrows and looked at Kong Youling in disbelief.
"Xiao Ling can speak now?" Sun Changkong was also stunned, his head and fiery red eyebrows tilted together.
Shang Xiaochi was also stunned, and only Firion cried out "Ah!", then looked at the white-haired girl expectantly, sweeping his tail across the ground.
At this moment, Ji Minghuan finally calmed down. He hummed and said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, I'll let her coo and croak for you to hear."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the white-haired girl. She did not look uneasy because Ji Minghuan was standing next to her.
Kong Youling thought for a moment, then moved her lips and whispered their names, "Big Sister... Maoliu... Firio... Shang Xiaochi."
After the clear and gentle voice fell, the entire prison room was silent for a second, and Mario and Shang Xiaochi were stunned.
Sun Changkong and Firio were stunned for a moment, then they rushed forward and hugged Kong Youling. Under the cold ceiling, some people were laughing, some were crying, and some were in a daze.
Ji Minghuan suddenly wanted to cry again. Seeing that there was no room left on the penguin monster's side and she was suffocated by the big sister and the big dog, she simply hugged Shang Xiaochi and Mario.
Mario smacked his lips in disgust, but Shang Xiaochi remained where she was, slowly lowering her head and silently watching his expression. She had never seen such an expression on Ji Minghuan's face before.
"Traitor, you're so lame..." Shang Xiaochi whispered, then patted him gently on the back.
