Chapter 68 Jack
After awakening his supernatural powers, Ji Minghuan had also thought about this question to some extent:
——Since I am a restricted-level psychic, is it possible that my parents are not ordinary people either?
After all, looking at the situation of Gu Qiye's family, it can be seen that the genetic genes of people with superpowers are very powerful and can even affect the entire family; in comparison, there are very few cases where the ancestors do not have superpower genes but spontaneously awaken superpowers.
But Ji Minghuan was not interested in the word "parents", so even though there was still a lot of room for exploration, he had never thought deeply about it...
Even once.
"Next time we meet, I'll tell you about your parents," said the tutor.
"I don't care, I just want to know if they are still alive?" Ji Minghuan said.
“Still alive.”
"That's enough."
"Good night."
The lights in the prison room were on one second, and the next second, they were turned off from top to bottom.
The footsteps stopped at the door, and the instructor's back stood motionless under the light at the exit. He tilted his head slightly and glanced through the crack in the door at Ji Minghuan who was still sitting on the chair.
The door closed, and then a prompt box rose in the darkness.
[Currently, the development progress of the world view of the "Exorcist" branch has changed: 55% → 60%]
"What kind of reward will be given if the worldview progress bar reaches 100%... Demon, I didn't expect that there are such creatures in the world. It really broadens my horizons."
Ji Minghuan looked up at the prompt box of world view development and thought silently in the dark.
"Alive, but not coming to see me...what's the difference between that and being dead?"
He had a blank expression on his face as he tried to find his parents' faces in his mind, but he hadn't seen them for so many years that he had almost forgotten what they looked like. All that was left was a vague outline and a few blurry scenes.
The tutor's sudden mention of his parents really caught him off guard.
But in Ji Minghuan's understanding, his only family member now is Kong Youling.
She was his only family. If his mentor wanted to use his parents to threaten him in the future, he would give up these two people at the first opportunity. Their life and death had nothing to do with him.
"Let's go to sleep... I have to meet with the members of the brigade tomorrow." He lay back on the bed.
Gradually, I closed my eyelids and fell into sleep.
Because he needs to control three bodies at the same time, he must ensure that he gets enough sleep to maintain a full mental state.
Otherwise…if one day I enter the spiritual world when I am extremely tired, and when I look up, I find that the two corpses hanged in the library suddenly come back to life, then things will really change.
The whole night was silent. Because he was too tired, Ji Minghuan slept very soundly that night.
After an unknown amount of time, he was woken up by the annoying sound of a telephone ringing in the darkness.
Having just woken up and still a little confused, Ji Minghuan couldn't really tell which body heard the ringing sound, or maybe it was just a dream - since he activated the "complete split mode", he started dreaming again.
Subconsciously, Ji Minghuan straightened up and got up from the white bed.
It was pitch black all around, and he soon realized that he had made a stupid mistake: how could there be a telephone in the cell? So he slapped his forehead with his palm and lay back down with a "pop".
Then he closed his eyes, switched to "Gu Wenyu's" body, and took out his cell phone from under the pillow.
There was nothing on the phone screen except Su Zimai's messages.
Finally, the second machine "Xia Ping Zhou" opened its eyes in the hotel room and stared at the ceiling motionlessly.
He lay flat on the bed, the phone ringing in his ear was piercing, and his pocket was constantly vibrating. He quickly took out the phone from his sweatshirt pocket and looked down. Sure enough, this was the call received by this body.
So I pressed the dial button with a sense of relief, and the annoying ringing finally stopped.
Ji Minghuan tilted his head, put the phone to his ear, and uttered only one word: "Who?"
Soon, a cold and slightly childish female voice came from the other end of the phone.
I could tell it was Ayase Origami's voice. She said, "Come out, to the abandoned building west of the port. I wanted to take you to meet No. 4 and No. 9, but No. 10 and No. 2 got there first, and they said they wanted to see you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
It sounded like there was no room for refusal. Ji Minghuan scratched his messy hair and turned to look at the dim sky outside the window.
"Let's just die..."
He muttered to himself, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Soon, he put on a human face mask and walked out of the hotel.
I took the morning train, leaning against the window, staring at Tokyo in the first rays of sunlight. The rice fields in the distance were covered with a layer of dim light, and the wind blowing from the horizon made the rice sprouts sway slowly.
Time passed silently amid the clanging sound of the tram, and soon we arrived at the meeting place.
After getting off the train, we walked for a short while to a deserted building area, and entered one of the abandoned buildings. What we saw was a ruin, with old factory machines everywhere.
There were five figures sitting on the ruins. Ji Minghuan had seen three of them before. They were:
Member No. 11 - "An Lance", a blond-haired British man with super powers. His ability seems to be to summon a slot machine. It was he who blew up the underground bar last time.
Member No. 3 - "Ayase Origami", a girl in an ochre-red kimono, a psychic with the ability to manipulate paper, serious and delicate like a Japanese doll;
Member No. 7 - "Robert", a man wearing a robot box head, is a mutant whose ability is to open a "door" on the wall that connects different places.
In addition to these three people, there were two more figures that Ji Minghuan was not familiar with.
One of them was wrapped in a beige cloak, with only his head exposed.
This is a man with messy hair and a beard. There is a scar on his left eye, a white film in his eye, and his eyes are empty, and it is unclear where his focus is.
The other was wearing a Japanese high school uniform, light grey in tone, with a bow tie.
This is a young girl with long black hair, playing with a short knife with a dark red handle in her hand, and her eyes are as dark as the polar night in the Arctic Circle.
Ji Minghuan looked at the dagger, and the information Xia Pingzhou had investigated flashed through his mind. The blade kept overlapping with the Ripper's "Heavenly Drive" in his memory, and finally overlapped with the reality in front of him - there was no doubt that this was the knife.
Jack the Ripper... was a woman? Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
[Completed main mission 2: Find the location of the evil exorcist who killed "your loved ones" - "Jack the Ripper". ]
[Obtain mission rewards: 1 skill point, 1 attribute point, 1 split point. ]
[Main Quest 2 has been updated to the second stage: Lurk in the White Crow Brigade and wait for an opportunity to kill the second member - "Jack the Ripper". (Quest rewards: 3 attribute points, 3 skill points, 3 split points)]
Ji Minghuan glanced at the words on the panel, and his eyes lingered on the girl in school uniform.
An Luns was still wearing a British suit today. This outgoing man jumped down from the ruins, took the initiative to come forward, and put his hand on Ji Minghuan's shoulder.
He raised his other hand and pointed at the long-haired girl, smiling and saying, "This beautiful girl with long black hair is 'Jack the Ripper', number 2 in the group. She is an exorcist, and the exorcist is the knife."
He shrugged and added, "The Ripper is a name given to her by others, and Jack is her nickname when she plays games. The combination is 'Jack the Ripper'. She is quite famous, and many outsiders have heard of her name. What about you?"
What about me? The main quest is to kill her, how could I not have heard of her name?
Ji Minghuan teased in his heart, but his face showed no expression: "I've heard of it."
An Lunsi nodded, then raised his hand and pointed at the cloaked man, introducing him: "The cloaked weird uncle over there, we all call him 'White Greedy Wolf', he is number 10 in the group."
"What kind of ability is he?"
An Lunsi shook his head and kept it a secret: "He is neither a supernatural being, nor a miracle teller, nor an exorcist."
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Can Muggles also join the White Crow Brigade?"
"No...he is not an ordinary person," An Luns lowered his voice and said faintly: "He is a devil."
Ji Minghuan was slightly stunned, and whispered softly: "...Demon?"
"That's right." An Luns whispered, "He joined the brigade to find his child. I heard that this guy transformed into a human and had a child with a human woman... Later, the child ate his woman. He was very angry and abandoned the child and ran away."
At this point, he couldn't help but smile.
"He soon changed his mind, but couldn't find the child anywhere. Finally, he came to us and joined us. He said he wanted to travel around the world with us to see if he could find any clues about the child."
The information in the words surged in like a tidal wave, and Ji Minghuan's brain froze for a second.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked at the man with a white film in his eye.
"Mr. Bai Tanlang, your child who ate his mother alive and then got lost wouldn't be called 'Firio', right..." He thought, "What a coincidence, I will meet your sweet baby in the laboratory tomorrow."
There will be another update in the evening, please give me your monthly vote!
