Chapter 57 Theater
Since the first morning when "Xia Ping Zhou" was created, this character has been stranded in the hotel for two days and two nights.
During this period, Xia Pingzhou had been lying flat on the bed in the hotel. Sometimes Ji Minghuan would control him to get up to go to the bathroom, stretch his muscles, and call the hotel front desk staff to renew his room, but his movements were limited to the room.
It’s not that Ji Minghuan is partial to the number one role, nor does he have any opinion on the number two role.
If he had the chance, he would definitely want to play around with this new role. But as a member, Xia Pingzhou had the White Crow Brigade logo tattooed on the back of his hand, and Ke Qirui and Su Zimai had seen what his face looked like two days ago. The people from the Exorcist Association must be looking for him now.
Under these circumstances, if you wander around the streets in broad daylight, you will most likely be caught by the Japan Exorcist Association.
That would be troublesome: either he would be forced to reform himself on the spot, or he would arouse the suspicion of the White Crow Brigade.
The better result is that the character's life is saved, but the potential for exploring the main task is wasted. The worse result is that the second character dies on the spot - neither of which is what Ji Minghuan wants to see.
Not to mention that the ability of the second character "Chess Player" is more suitable for positional warfare, and his mobility is very average. In short, he is not good at running.
He is not as flexible as the first character "Black Pupa", nor does he have a life-saving ability like "Invisibility". If he encounters a battle, the second character will most likely be in a very passive situation.
Therefore, every move must be planned carefully to avoid conflict with anyone before your strength is increased.
One word: "Go!"
The good news is that in Xia Pingzhou's character background, he not only prepared a human skin mask for himself before coming to Japan, but also forged a fake ID card. So when he checked into the hotel, he also wore a human skin mask and used a fake ID.
In this way, even if Ke Qirui knew what he really looked like, he wouldn't have to worry about being found by the Exorcist Association and brought to the hotel.
Of course, if the members of the brigade were around, there would be no need to worry so much.
With a group of villain bosses protecting him, Ji Minghuan actually hopes that those small fry will come to him, and then he will take advantage of the gaps between the bosses killing people and find a way to get a few kills to advance the progress of the "Wild Hunt Winter" training system.
"Ah... this is the pleasure of hugging thighs."
While thinking about this, Ji Minghuan took out his cell phone from the pillow and looked at the text message.
[Ayase Origami: Tomorrow the 4th and 9th will arrive in Tokyo. I will take you to meet them. ]
【Xia Pingzhou: Okay, see you then. 】
After briefly replying to the message, Ji Minghuan took out a set of clothes from the suitcase. He washed his body in the bathroom, then changed into a white hooded sweatshirt and put on a human face mask.
Then he took out the room card from the card slot and put it in his pocket, then walked towards Roppongi Bar Street.
If it weren't for the fact that wearing a human skin mask in front of the brigade members would have no meaning and would have made him look guilty, otherwise Ji Minghuan would have definitely put it on before meeting them.
In this way, Ke Qirui and her sister would not see his true face that day.
He glanced at his right hand. The White Crow Brigade's iconic crow tattoo was tattooed on the back of his hand: a black crow figure, a red number "12", and a white cross running through the pattern. Ji Minghuan hid his right hand in his pocket to prevent passers-by from seeing the pattern, thinking that he would find a bandage to wrap it up when he came back...
Walking through Tokyo at night, the izakayas are brightly lit, and the smell of grilled salmon, drinks and Japanese yakitori wafts out.
The tip of his nose twitched slightly, but his heart remained unmoved. In his eyes, there was only that huge red exclamation mark under the night sky.
Soon, Ji Minghuan followed the direction of the exclamation mark and came to the location of the "card incident". Looking up, he saw a skyscraper standing under the huge "exclamation mark".
Judging from the huge spider sculpture on the top of the building, this is the Mori Building in Roppongi Hills.
Created by French artist Louise Bourgeois, the spider sculpture is made of a black metal mesh and symbolizes maternal love and protection. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of Roppongi Hills.
Ji Minghuan observed the surrounding environment and came to the "West Walk" shopping mall next to Mori Building.
He stopped at the entrance, put on the hood of his sweatshirt, and released the Sky Drive from his body. A black and white Möbius strip appeared beside him. He stretched out his hand slowly and grabbed the "Queen's Stone Statue" chess piece on the strip.
The chess piece shattered and turned into a black and white halo that flowed to his side, and then formed a luxurious and slender black iron giant under the night sky.
As far as I can remember, among the four basic chess types, two of them have special abilities, one is the "King Stone Statue", and the other is the "Queen Stone Statue", which is the strongest among the chess types.
The ability of the Queen's statue is to make its body "empty" in a short period of time. In the "empty" state, its body will become transparent and can penetrate everything. This move can be used for both offense and defense, and it can be called a panacea.
Not only that, the vanishing of the Queen's statue can also affect things that the body touches, including the human body.
Then the stone statue of the queen leaned down, picked up Ji Minghuan's body, and her figure flashed, and she passed through the closed glass door in a state of "nothingness" and entered the interior of the "West Walk" shopping mall.
Ji Minghuan fell from the arms of the stone statue of the queen, lowered his eyes and waited for his body to materialize again, then turned into the Mori Building from the corridor of the shopping mall.
The entire building was empty. With his hands in his sweatshirt pockets, he deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras and wandered aimlessly from the basement floor to the fourth floor, finally entering the Roppongi Hills building connected to the Mori Building.
Then it slowly stopped in front of the entrance of a theater.
At this moment, a black and white prompt box popped up in front of his eyes.
[The card event No. 5 of "Tokyo City" has been triggered: "Spider Dancer at Roppongi EX Theater". ]
“This is it.”
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows curiously and looked carefully at the theater in front of him.
On the wall at the entrance hangs a 2-meter-high three-dimensional English word "EX THEATER". In the dark, the neon tube emits a cold icy blue light, outlining the edges of the words. The nameplate on the side wall is a metal three-dimensional word "Roppongi EX Theater" in both Japanese and English.
He let the Queen's statue enter the ticket hall first and cut all the surveillance cameras in half, and then deal with the surveillance cameras in the entrance passage.
By the time Ji Minghuan entered the venue, even the surveillance cameras in the venue had been taken care of by the Queen's stone statue. The elegant stone statue walked slowly towards him holding two daggers and returned to his side to wait for orders.
At first glance, the scale of this venue is not small, estimated to be half the size of a "Japanese J-League Football Stadium".
The light tubes on the ceiling flickered, and the surroundings were bright and dark. When the lights were bright, you could see that there was a stepped auditorium in front of you. There were high chairs in the back seats and a standing area, which could accommodate about 800 to 1,000 spectators.
A schedule is displayed on the wall with the "Roppongi Hills Streetscape" as the background.
In addition, there is a series of performance posters. Apart from the LiveHouse trailer, most of the posters are promotions for musicals and dramas, including "A Hundred Demons Night Parade" and "Madame Butterfly", with the night view of Roppongi Hills as the background.
According to the schedule, unless it is a New Year's Eve performance or an art festival, the venue's performance time may be extended to 00:30 the next day, otherwise it will generally be cleared and closed at 11:30.
So at this moment, there is no one in the museum.
The next moment, the curtains of the stage suddenly opened to both sides, and the spotlight on the dome turned on with a "bang", shining on the huge shadow in the center of the stage.
Ji Minghuan put his hands in his hoodie pockets and looked up, only to see a spider-like demon with a human face hanging upside down under the dome by spider silk. She danced in the air intoxicatedly, singing opera in a low and hoarse voice, and the joints of her eight limbs twisted in a strange arc, like an actor or a madman.
Sometimes they danced and laughed loudly, sometimes they were hysterical and screamed.
[The task of triggering the "Card Event": Clear the "Spider Demon" in the theater within five minutes. ]
"Wait a minute... am I opening this instance too early?" Ji Minghuan rested his hand on his chin, and suddenly thought, "Wait for my character number one to get off the plane, and then I'll bring him to the instance with the character number two. Is there a chance that we can exploit a bug and get two event cards at once?"
There was no time for him to regret, the spider silk on the stage moved slightly.
The next moment, the spider demon's body was dragged upwards by the spider silk and suddenly disappeared under the spotlight, but its shadow on the wall was still twisting strangely, as if it was still dancing.
The lights went out completely, and a chilly wind blew through the entire Roppongi EX Theater.
Even Ji Minghuan couldn't help but shiver in the pitch-black darkness.
At the same time, in another corner of the venue.
A corner of space suddenly tore open, as if a movie screen was suddenly "embedded" in the darkness.
A tall and thin woman slowly walked out from behind the curtain, and then the movie screen disappeared from behind her.
The woman, with a pipe in her mouth, leaned against the wall silently, one hand on her shoulder, and looked quietly at the boy in the sweatshirt in the center of the venue and the giant statues surrounding him.
