Chapter 39 Conflict
08:00 AM Japan time, office entrance in an abandoned office building in Minato-ku, Tokyo.
Ke Qirui lowered the brim of his deerstalker hat, and the corners of his clear eyes slightly raised.
From the shadow of her hat brim, she looked expressionlessly at the working devil who was slowly turning into ashes and dissipating, then glanced at the backs of the four members of the brigade.
Then she took out a retro one-way mirror from her pocket, put it on her left eye, and pinned the chain to the collar of her windbreaker. She said, "I came to take a look when I detected the demon's fluctuations. It seems that someone has done the work for us."
Su Zimai also stared at their backs. She asked, "Captain, are they exorcists too?"
"Probably not." Ke Qirui shook his head.
The one standing here at this moment is Ji Minghuan’s number two game character - "Xia Pingzhou", not the number one character "Gu Wenyu".
Naturally, the two of them couldn't recognize it was him.
But in the memory of Character No. 2, Xia Pingzhou had met Ke Qirui once two years ago.
Both of them are holders of SS-level Sky-Drive. In the Chinese Exorcist Association, they are both rising stars that everyone is paying attention to. It is hard for them not to know each other.
If Ke Qirui looked carefully, he would recognize that the person in front of him was Xia Pingzhou.
Staring at the two figures, Ji Minghuan thought secretly in his heart:
"It seems that the situation is a bit bad. If my sister dies at the hands of the brigade, then my 'Black Pupa' will lose a sustainable main mission, right?"
Thinking of this, he decided to find a way to let Su Zimai go without arousing suspicion from the other members.
As for Ke Qirui, her life or death has nothing to do with him.
"I'm hungry." Ayase Origami said expressionlessly, "Kill them, and then go eat quickly."
As she spoke, she turned half her body sideways.
At this moment, Ji Minghuan suddenly said, "I have an impression of the woman in the hat. She is a member of the Exorcist Association. Her Sky Exorcist is a pair of 'retro-style one-way mirrors'... I don't know the other one. Have you heard of her?"
After hearing what Ji Minghuan said, An Luns seemed to remember something.
"An old-fashioned one-way mirror?" He murmured, raising his eyebrows. "Oh... Ke Qirui from the Exorcist Association, she's quite famous. The leader knows her and seemed to have thought about inviting her to join the association before."
"What's the result?" Ji Minghuan asked.
"The leader didn't say, but it seems that she was rejected." An Luns smiled, "She later formed an exorcist team called the 'Ghost Train Team', which should be named after the 'Train Demon' she contracted with."
Ayase Origami tilted her head and glanced at the two of them without any emotion.
She asked: "After saying so much, are you going to kill him or not?"
Robert scratched his mechanical box head and said calmly, "Forget it. The leader said not to cause a commotion before the auction starts. There is no benefit in us starting a war with these two exorcists here."
Hearing this, Ji Minghuan interrupted and said, "If you agree, I want to try fighting with that woman."
After a pause, he added: "But her Sky Drive will cause a lot of noise. If you think it will affect the secrecy of the auction... then forget it."
In his memory, the ability of Ke Qirui's SkyDrive 'Retro One-Sided Mirror' is to directly summon the contracted demon.
This is fundamentally different from other Sky-Drivers - other Sky-Drivers are contracted demons, which turn the demons into parts of the Sky-Driver, but her Sky-Driver retains the demon's true form and summons them when needed.
Ji Minghuan had tested it with the "restraint belt detection" in the park last night. There are currently two demons in Ke Qirui's "retro one-way mirror" contract. The first is the "train demon" and the second is the "movie demon".
Judging from the name "Train Demon", the size of this demon must be huge. That is to say, if we fight with Ke Qirui here, Ke Qirui will definitely summon the Train Demon and hold a stalemate with them.
The commotion it caused at that time must have been quite significant, and could even be equivalent to announcing to the entire Japan:
——"The White Crow Brigade has arrived in Tokyo."
An Lunsi shrugged: "That's true... The leader reminded us not to underestimate her abilities if we meet her."
"Don't waste time." Robert said, looking away from the two people at the office entrance. "If killing them is to cover our tracks, then fighting with them will cause more noise and have a greater impact."
He paused and said, "Let's go. Don't make the leader angry."
"Then go."
Having said that, Ayase Origami was the first to turn around and walked towards the empty corridor.
"Okay." Ji Minghuan said, with a hint of imperceptible disappointment in his tone.
Turning around and leaving with the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Sister, I can only help you up to this point. If they really don't let you go, then we'll be separated forever. It's better to have one less main plot than one less game character.
"By the way, No. 12." An Luns followed him and put his arm around his shoulders. "So, you used to be in the Exorcist Association?"
"Everyone who awakens the Sky Drive will be invited by the local officials. They also invited me." Ji Minghuan explained without hesitation, "Then I felt that it was boring to stay, so I left."
"No wonder you came to us on your own initiative. Do you think it's more interesting to stay in the brigade?" An Luns smiled.
Ji Minghuan was too lazy to answer, and just said: "In a week, we will go to rob an underground auction in Tokyo, right?"
"That's right, that's when the action started," said Anluns.
"No specific plans?"
"The leader usually only tells us five minutes before the operation begins."
"No need to prepare?"
"People with such little execution ability have died a thousand times in our group." An Luns smiled, "The leader is very interested in your ability. I hope you can follow us closely and die slowly, not like the last No. 12."
Ji Minghuan nodded expressionlessly.
He turned his head and glanced at Ke Su and the other man who were staying in the office, thinking:
"So, what are Ke Qirui and Su Zimai doing in Tokyo? Are they also going to get involved in the auction? With my sister's ability to play such a high-level game, even if I sneak into the brigade as a traitor... I can't save her."
The four of them walked to the corner and entered a dirty and narrow corridor. Robert placed his right hand on the wall and opened a door frame. The four of them turned the door handle and stepped inside, and then disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, in the abandoned office.
"Their aura suddenly disappeared?" Su Zimai frowned. When she sensed the hostility, she was about to take out her Tianqu, but she didn't expect them to turn around and leave.
She turned to Ke Qirui and asked, "Captain, who were those people just now?"
"It seems to be someone from the White Crow Brigade..." Ke Qirui whispered.
"ha?"
"I've seen a photo of one of them. The little girl in kimono, she's the eldest daughter of the Ayase family in Japan. Later, she received an invitation from the leader of the White Crow Brigade, left her family, and became a member of the brigade."
"So just now, they were planning to kill us?"
"Yes, I don't know why they didn't take action." Ke Qirui said, "Everyone in the brigade is very strong. If we don't prepare, it will be difficult for us to win."
She thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the concerns of the Japanese Exorcist Association are real. The White Crow Brigade has really come to Tokyo and has set its sights on the underground auction held by the Association in collaboration with several major mafia families."
Su Zimai asked: "Then should we still accept our commission to 'protect the auction from proceeding normally'?"
"Now that we're here, it would be a shame to leave." Ke Qirui put his hand on his chin, "Report what just happened to the association. The Japanese side should further strengthen the defense of the auction."
"Who can they call?" Su Zimai held his forehead and sighed, "Japan's exorcists and psychics are all so weak, there are few worth looking at."
"That being said, the Japanese Association can also ask neighboring countries for help and ask them to send some people over." Ke Qirui raised the corner of his mouth.
Su Zimai frowned and asked, "For example?"
"Blue Arc."
Ke Qirui slowly pronounced the name.
