Chapter 44 News
July 11, 11:30 am, Lijing, Guyimai residential area.
The rain gradually subsided, and white mist climbed up the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room like a gecko.
Ji Minghuan lay on the soft bed with his arms as a pillow, staring out the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.
He stared at the city scene shrouded in rain for a while, with no expression on his face.
With a tapping sound, raindrops as big as beans slid down the window, swirling and falling towards the billboard on the street.
The blood-stained windbreaker and mask were thrown beside the bed.
While sorting out the information he had obtained this morning, he put the uniform back into the cardboard box at the bottom of the closet with restraints and sealed the opening of the box with tape.
"The dean said: The people who took my real body and Kong Youling away had a six-pointed star pattern on their uniforms."
"And this pattern is exactly the same as the one left by the crazy exorcist Red Light when he committed crimes: every time he killed someone, he would write a line of Latin words next to the pattern, which means 'Salvation Society'."
Ji Minghuan closed his eyes and switched his consciousness to "Xia Pingzhou" in a hotel in Tokyo.
He called up the task panel and took a look.
[Main Mission 3: Find clues about "your former teammate", the crazy exorcist - "Red Street Light". ]
He switched back to "Gu Wenyu's" perspective with ease, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
He thought, "The important thing is that my mentor told me that he does not belong to the Association of the Strange Walkers, nor the Association of the Exorcists, and certainly not a member of the Strange News Envoy. So... there is a high probability that they belong to this organization called the 'Savior Society'."
"Now that we have confirmed this, we just need to find Red Light. I can use the restraint mantra to get information from him about what kind of organization the Salvation Society is and what their purpose is. Red Light might even know where the Salvation Society's base is located."
Ji Minghuan stretched out his right hand, lowered his eyes, and looked quietly at the restraints wrapped around his fingertips.
"At the moment, it seems that... the people from the Salvation Society have most likely planted an insider in the Association of the Different Walkers. Otherwise, how else can we explain why their news came so quickly?"
"Help Gu Qiye enter Hongyi and infiltrate the top level of the United Nations. He should be able to help me find clues about the "Salvation Society"..."
"Once we find the location of the laboratory, it will be easy. We need to accumulate strength and wait for the right moment. It is unlikely that I can do it alone. I have to find a way to use the Abnormal Association, the White Crow Brigade, the Exorcist Association, and even the criminal forces on my father's side. So it is also a difficult problem to find a way to guide them."
Ji Minghuan was thinking while sliding the system panel, and suddenly thought: "Oh yeah... what is the use of the event card I got this morning?"
Select the "Event Card Book" and the first card in the card slot is the "Bird in a Cage".
[Event Card Name: Bird in a Cage]
[Effect: When you are attacked by any "control" ability, you can get rid of the effect of the ability by losing this card.]
[Value: Selling the card can be exchanged for "1 skill point". ]
"I can sell it to exchange for skill points, but forget it... I'll keep it for now. Maybe it will be useful later."
Listening to the faint sound of rain, Ji Minghuan suddenly felt a little sleepy.
He yawned and closed all the miscellaneous panels in an orderly manner.
When I closed my eyes, three infinitely overlapping perspectives suddenly appeared in my mind. Every body was sleeping in the darkness, and the senses of every body were mobilized:
It was raining in Tokyo and it was raining in Lijing. Only the prison cell was silent, like the bottom of the sea thousands of miles away.
This month of confinement made Ji Minghuan deeply understand a truth: people need a little noise to sleep well.
Before Ji Minghuan awakened his special powers, it was difficult for him to fall asleep in the prison cell.
He used all the sleep-inducing techniques he had learned in the orphanage, such as counting sheep, breathing regulation, and mental arithmetic of pi... He tried every possible means.
But now there is no need for that. The sound of the falling rain is the best sleep aid.
His thoughts sank into darkness, as if falling into the cradle of the deepest part of his consciousness. Not long after, a voice as cold and hard as iron woke him up from his sleep.
"Restricted level psychic, number 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', the instructor is here to visit, please prepare for interrogation as soon as possible."
Ji Minghuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw the silver-white ceiling. The cold surveillance camera was facing his face, like an iron-faced judge silently provoking him.
He tilted his head from the pillow and saw the heavy metal door open and the mentor walked in slowly.
"What's going on this time, teacher? I just slept for a short while, and you're already rushing to ruin my sleep quality. You're amazing."
Ji Minghuan complained listlessly, and was too lazy to even move from the bed. He simply put his arms behind his head, closed his eyes, and lay motionless on the bed like a mummy.
"Your dean is dead." The tutor sat down and said.
Ji Minghuan was obviously stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes in surprise and slowly turned his head.
"The old dean... is dead?" he asked in disbelief, his voice a little hoarse.
The instructor nodded. "It happened this morning. According to the investigation of the Blue Arc specialist of the Lijing Deviant Association, your dean hanged himself in his office at 8:30 this morning, and his deeds have been exposed... I heard that he imprisoned an orphan girl in the basement for several years and committed many beastly crimes against her. Now the whole of Lijing is discussing this matter."
"Hanged himself?" Ji Minghuan muttered to himself in a daze, and then asked: "What is the name of the girl he locked up?"
"Permission given."
"How did they find out...she was locked in the basement?"
"Blue Arc received an anonymous call from the dean. When Blue Arc rushed to the office, he found that the dean had hanged himself. Before committing suicide, the dean wrote an unsent self-surrendering email on his computer. In the email, he told Blue Arc the location of the girl."
Hearing this, Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
He thought to himself: "My dear brother, you are really good at making up stories. You helped me make it so perfect."
A few hours ago, Ji Minghuan did ask Gu Qiye to help him disguise the murder scene. This was not surprising. He felt that Gu Qiye was the same kind of person as him, and both would think that the dean's death was not a pity.
But what Ji Minghuan could not have expected was that a decent person like Gu Qiye could actually do so well against his conscience.
In the eyes of the public, the alien "Blue Arc" is equivalent to a superstar of the era. No one would suspect that he was cheating in such matters, and the Alien Association would not investigate it further.
In addition, at this point in time, most people were in shock and anger about this incident. No one would care about how the dean died. All they cared about was the result that "the dean is dead."
Whether it is suicide or homicide, there is no essential difference to them.
What no one could have imagined was that the person who actually killed the dean was actually the psychic who had only recently entered the public eye - "Black Pupa".
I'm afraid that once the tutor knows about this, he will immediately conclude that there is a real connection between "Black Pupa" and Ji Minghuan, and then mobilize the members of the Salvation Society to capture Black Pupa and bring him to the laboratory for surgery.
