Chapter 48 Night Raid
"It seems that there are other experts at this auction. The Whale Box Garden is also going to get involved."
Ji Minghuan sat in the exhibition stand of the lighthouse, tilted his head, and quietly watched the whale as big as a battleship disappear on the sea.
Although he was very curious about what the so-called "box garden in the whale" looked like, he couldn't possibly follow Li Qingping into the whale's belly, as that would be tantamount to seeking death.
So he could only watch his best friend leave silently. It would be better to say that the word "watch" was too high for him, he was just a stalker.
I really don’t know how Li Qingping would react when he finds out that his best friend has secretly followed him all the way.
The tide rolled over the beach, the sea surface illuminated by the searchlight was calm, and the continuous sound of the tide lingered in the ears.
"Li Qingping will serve as the guard of the 'Second Prince' and accompany him to the underground auction in Tokyo... If it's just him, it's fine. Li Qingping's attributes are similar to my father's. According to the rating sequence of psychics, he is just a 'quasi-disaster-level' expert. He can't touch the baseline of Hongyi. With the power of the White Crow Brigade, they can definitely control him at will."
"But the problem is: if Li Qingping dies at the auction, then my 'Black Pupa' will have one less main quest."
Ji Minghuan hunched his back and sighed deeply, feeling that his role as number two had really started off badly. He couldn't even protect himself, and had to find ways to save the lives of others.
He raised his head and glanced at the undulating sea surface under the night sky, thinking: "Suppose the situation can be even worse: my brother, father and sister also want to interfere in the auction. Then there will be at least three half-step natural disaster-level tough guys, unknown combat power from the Exorcist Association, and the power of the Japanese underworld at the auction site."
"Either my No. 2 character died there, or my No. 1 character missed several main quests. For me, neither outcome is worth it."
"It's really a bad situation... No wonder the quest 'Survive the Auction' has such an absurd amount of skill points to reward, it turns out it's because it's so rare. But leaving the group is also a dead end... Let's take it one step at a time."
With pitch-black restraints wrapped around his entire body, his figure disappeared as if wiped out from this world by God. Ji Minghuan stepped on the table, crawled through the window of the lighthouse, and jumped up under the moonlight.
Half an hour later, Gu Qinye stood at the door of his house and opened the door with a "click" using the silver-plated key.
He turned the doorknob and walked into the house, looking a little tired. At this moment, his mobile phone suddenly received a text message from an anonymous user.
[Anonymous user: Mr. Blue Arc, thank you for your help today. I never thought you could do so well. ]
【Gu Qiye: How did you know that the girl was locked at the bottom of the library? 】
[Black Pupa: My hearing has always been sharp. Besides, I have told you that I can see through the true face of every pretender. That hypocritical and dirty dean naturally cannot hide from my eyes.]
【Gu Qiye: You can choose to send him to prison instead of torturing him to death. 】
[Black Pupa: The way I treated him was far from being called "brutal killing."]
[Gu Qiye: That’s because you want me to help you fake a suicide scene, so you can’t go too far.]
[Black Pupa: Oh, you discovered all this... It seems that we are very familiar with each other after just two days of friendship. You said that I can send him to prison, but in fact, the choice you made in your heart is the same as mine. You also want to kill him, but you can't do it because of your identity. But I can help you do this.]
【Gu Qiye: This is nonsense.】
[Black Pupa: At least from the fact that you didn't expose me, I can tell that you essentially approve of my actions.]
【Gu Qiye: Compared to these, today has improved my impression of you. I thought you were just a bad guy who only cared about having fun, but I didn't expect that you would occasionally do one or two good things.】
[Black Pupa: Wasn't what I did in the square that day a good thing? If I hadn't come out to break the situation, you would have been like a dog with a broken spine, wearing the handcuffs that Green Wing handed over. You know that those handcuffs are wrong.]
【Gu Qiye: Whatever you say.】
After sending this message, Gu Qinye let out a long sigh, threw down his phone, slumped down on the sofa, resting his head against the back of the sofa.
He looked up at the ceiling in a daze, and soon the text message alert sounded again.
Gu Qinye picked up his phone and took a look at the incoming text message.
[Black Pupa: By the way, how is that girl? ]
[Gu Qiye: She is receiving treatment and psychological counseling in the hospital. It will take some time for her to be discharged. I will visit her every day after get off work when I have time.]
[Black Pupa: Or maybe you could be more direct and tell me the address of the hospital.]
[Gu Qiye: Your hearing is very sharp, go find it yourself.]
[Black Pupa: That's true. Actually, I don't have time to visit her, so please take care of her.]
【Gu Qiye: That’s right. Your appearance will probably leave a psychological shadow on her.】
Gu Qinye had just put down his phone when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the entrance.
Only then did he remember that he had not closed the door, and turned his head from the back of the sofa to glance at the person who came in.
Gu Zhuoan changed into slippers and walked in carrying a bag of take-out boxes. The white plastic box cover could not remove the rich aroma of onions.
He met Gu Qiye's gaze, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and asked in a muffled voice: "Have you eaten? I bought some spare ribs."
Gu Qiye was silent for a while and shook his head: "Not yet."
"Then let's eat together?"
"Has Wenyu returned home?"
"I just texted him. He's in the room. Come downstairs right away."
Gu Qiye hesitated for a moment: "Then... let's eat together."
If Gu Wenyu was not at home, he would definitely reject Gu Zhuo's proposal and go to a nearby small restaurant to find something to eat and fill his stomach, but since Wenyu was at home, it would be fine to have a meal with them. Gu Qiye did not think he had any expectations for this useless father, he just didn't want his brother to be too lonely.
At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridor on the second floor. Then Ji Minghuan walked down the stairs slowly while looking at his mobile phone, the sound of his slippers tapping.
He swaggered into the kitchen first and sat down.
Gu Zhuoan put out his cigarette, threw it into the ashtray, then put the plastic bag of scallion-flavored pork ribs on the table.
The three of them had a silent dinner together. They didn't talk much at the table, they just ate their own food.
After dinner, Ji Minghuan brushed his teeth in the bathroom on the second floor and walked back to his room. He closed the door with a restraint, then lay on the bed, called up the system panel, and simply and efficiently allocated the attribute points and skill points he had just obtained.
[The "Strength" attribute of the No. 1 game character "Black Pupa" has changed: C++ level → B level]
[1 skill point has been consumed, and the skill of the branch "Li" has been successfully acquired - "Supernatural Power Steal" (After you use a restraint belt to tie up a supernatural power user, you can temporarily steal and save his power. The power will disappear after using it once) (The supernatural power after stealing is only 50% effective, and the power depends on the attributes of the "Black Pupa") (The longest storage time: 24 hours)]
[The next skill of the branch "Li" has been opened for learning: "Capacity Increase". ]
Ji Minghuan was really exhausted after the whole day. In addition, he was woken up by his tutor not long after sleeping in the afternoon, so he could not hide his sleepiness at this time.
I turned off the lights and it didn't take long for my eyelids to droop.
He fell asleep.
At the same time, on the evening of the same day, the silent prison cell once again welcomed the tutor's visit.
But... strangely, this time the tutor did not come as usual.
Instead, he opened the metal door of the prison cell in the quietest manner, and in the pitch-black darkness, he approached the sleeping Ji Minghuan step by step and silently.
There will be another chapter later today. It is ranked seventh on the new book list. Please give me your monthly votes and keep reading.
