Chapter 40 Cooperation
Hearing the name "Blue Arc", Su Zimai was stunned for a moment.
Her eyes widened in disbelief: "Huh... that big blue electric rat?"
Ke Qirui walked towards the stairs of the abandoned office building and said, "In fact, the Japanese Exorcist Association has already negotiated with the Chinese Abnormal Association. They said that 'Blue Arc' will also be sent to guard this auction."
She chuckled, "Blue Arc is a reliable teammate. If I hadn't heard this news, I wouldn't have accepted this commission without knowing my own limitations."
Su Zimai followed her, "But isn't that guy so busy? How can he have time to come to Japan?"
"It is impossible for him not to listen to the request of the Association of the Different."
Su Zimai held his forehead and sighed, "I really don't like that big power rat pretentious guy. I can't stand it... Captain, do we really want to cooperate with him? I'm afraid I'll be choked to death by his greasy quotes. To be honest, I don't know why he is so popular in China. Normally, when I see my classmates being crazy about him, I can't help but roll my eyes."
"After all, he is a national hero. Why are you so prejudiced against him?"
Su Zimai lowered his head and muttered, "Why don't the Japanese mafia borrow people from the United Nations? Wouldn't it be better to just call the people from Rainbow Wing over? Seeing those disaster-level perverts from Rainbow Wing, the people from the White Crow Brigade wouldn't dare to take action, right?"
Ke Qirui explained patiently: "First, the Japanese underworld has a bad relationship with the United Nations, so it is impossible for them to ask for help from the United Nations; second, an organization of the level of 'Rainbow Wing' will not be used to protect the auction. It's like using a bazooka to roast sweet potatoes."
"Well...it seems like it's good enough that Japan can borrow a big electric rat."
"When you meet Blue Arc, don't call him 'Big Electric Rat'."
"Haha, I'm not stupid." Su Zimai disagreed.
Ke Qirui took out her cigarette from her pocket as she walked towards the exit, put it in her mouth and took a puff. She said, "Come to think of it... I have some impression of that boy just now."
"Which one?"
"The one in the hoodie. I met him in the Exorcist Association two years ago." Ke Qirui pondered, "I forgot his name, but I remember his Sky Exorcist was very special... It was 'Chess'. Later, he quit the association because of something, and I never saw him again."
"He also joined the White Crow Brigade?" Su Zimai was stunned.
"Maybe."
"A good young man has gone astray. Even if he gets a stable position in the association, it is better than following those lunatics to kill, burn, and loot, right?" Su Zimai said with emotion.
Ke Qirui shook his head. "Who knows what he is thinking? Anyway... let's go meet up with the others first. We have to be careful on the road. I wonder if the people from the brigade are still nearby."
"Um."
Ke Qirui put his pipe back into his windbreaker pocket, and the two of them walked out of the abandoned office building, talking and laughing.
The other side of Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Ji Minghuan accompanied the three members of the White Crow Brigade to eat ramen at a ramen restaurant, and then they disbanded. Before leaving, Ayase Origami left him a mobile phone number and said that the other members would call him when they arrived in Tokyo.
After leaving the ramen restaurant, he found a hotel in Tokyo to stay in alone, swiped his card, and opened the door.
He put the room card into the slot and turned on the light.
Taking a few steps forward and falling on the bed, Ji Minghuan thought to himself, "I will have to stay in this bandit group for a long time... The White Crow Brigade is notorious now, maybe I can lure the Rainbow Wing people here. As long as I can get the information about Rainbow Wing, even if it's just the ability of one of its members, I will have the capital to trade with Gu Qiye for a long time."
He lay on the pillow, clicked the gear icon in the lower right corner of the field of vision, brought up the system panel, and selected the "Character Skill Tree System".
[Branch 1 (Group): Recruiting soldiers (needs to consume "1" skill point to learn) → Unknown → Unknown...]
[Branch 2 (Brave): Chess evolution (Condition: You need to consume a total of "3" skill points in other branches before you can learn this skill) (Learning this skill requires "1" skill point) → Unknown → Unknown...]
[Branch Three (Soul): Demon Hunter (needs to consume "1" skill point to learn) → Unknown → Unknown...]
"The skills in the second branch have learning prerequisites, so I can't use them now. I can only choose from the other two branches."
Thinking about it, Ji Minghuan took a look at the initial skills on the two branches.
[Recruit soldiers: Get two "soldier chess pieces." ]
[Demon Hunter: After the chess pieces participate in killing the demon, you have a chance to obtain a unique chess piece related to it. (This chess piece can only be "materialized" once, and after being destroyed, it will not be reborn like ordinary chess pieces)]
"No matter how you look at it, the first one is better."
Ji Minghuan came to the conclusion without hesitation, raised his finger, and pressed and held the skill name of "Recruit Soldiers".
I watched the text on the panel change from dark to light, emitting a black and white halo, and a panel popped up in front of me.
[1 skill point has been consumed, and the skill "Recruiting Soldiers" of the branch "Group" has been successfully acquired. ]
[The next skill of the branch "Group" has been opened for learning. 】
Ji Minghuan took a look at the newly unlocked skills of the "group" system.
[Soldier Training: Equip your soldiers with shields, and enable the command "Shield Grid" during battle.]
He closed the character skill tree panel and summoned Xia Pingzhou's Sky Drive. A black and white halo emerged from his body and gradually formed a ring formed by the twisted chessboard. Compared with before, there were two new "soldier pieces" on the ring - this was the function of "recruiting soldiers" that he had just learned.
"Yes, I feel very safe."
Ji Minghuan yawned, retracted Tianqu, turned over in bed and faced the ceiling.
He opened the "Task Panel" instead.
[Main Mission 1: Join the White Crow Brigade in the "Tokyo Underground Auction" robbery on July 21 and survive the operation. (Mission Reward: 3 skill points, 1 attribute point, 1 split point)]
He thought: "I just realized that the reward for this task is 3 skill points... This is the first time I have seen so many points. Does this mean that it will be difficult to survive the auction?"
[Main Mission 2: Find the location of the evil exorcist who killed "your loved ones" - "Jack the Ripper". (Mission Reward: 1 skill point, 1 attribute point, 1 split point)]
"Jack the Ripper is a member... As long as all members of the brigade gather later, I will definitely be able to complete this mission."
Ji Minghuan looked silently at the third main line.
[Main Mission 3: Find clues about "your former teammate", the crazy exorcist - "Red Street Light". ]
He searched through Xia Pingzhou's memory for an incident that happened two years ago. At that time, the four-man team was on their way to a mission when Xia Pingzhou's exorcist teammate "Red Street Light" suddenly went mad, as if possessed by a brutal murderer. He smashed the other two teammates except Xia Pingzhou into meat patties, with blood splattering everywhere.
After that, Red Street Light disappeared for a long time, and then he became a monster who specialized in hunting exorcists.
Every time he succeeded in committing a crime, he would leave a "hexagram" mark next to the body, and next to the mark would be a line of Latin words: Sodalitas Salvifica.
Translated into Chinese, it means "Salvation Society".
"'The Salvation Society'... sounds like a very powerful organization." Ji Minghuan muttered.
He sighed: "Anyway, there is no need to do anything here for the time being. Just wait for the notification from the brigade. This body will just stay in the hotel for now."
With his arms resting behind his head, Ji Minghuan stared at the ceiling for a while. He thought, "Now that I have a second body as a guarantee, the next step is to use the 'Black Pupa' to explore the welfare home. I hope I can get some clues about the laboratory from the director."
So he closed his eyes and switched his consciousness to the first game character - "Gu Wenyu".
Everything gradually quieted down. The hotel lights were dim and the boy on the bed was sleeping peacefully. It was drizzling outside the window and the Tokyo Tower was shining with warm white light under the rain.
