Chapter 72 Phone
"Wow... Let me hear it. What's the reason why you mistook me for Mr. 'Gu Wenyu'?"
Hei Pupa put the book into the restraints and spoke with interest, without any panic in his tone.
Ke Qirui said, "Except for the other members of the train group, there are very few people who know both me and Mai Mai. Gu Wenyu is one of them, and he happens to be in Tokyo." She paused, "It's a simple reason, but I think it's enough."
"He...he, my brother? He, my brother?!" Su Zimai muttered, his fingers still hanging in the air, pointing at the black pupa hanging upside down under the ginkgo tree.
If she had felt a series of complex and indescribable emotions in her heart the last time she heard the captain analyze that his brother was Blue Arc, then this time she was left with only shock and absurdity.
It was so outrageous that Su Zimai even suspected that the team leader had gone insane overnight and said that every person he saw was Gu Wenyu!
Besides, this thing is not a human, it's a giant moth! They are different species! We should at least respect the species isolation. It's impossible for Blue Arc and Black Pupa to give birth to a child named Gu Wenyu! Then I would also become the child of Blue Mouse and Black Moth!
At this moment, Su Zimai's mind was already in a mess. The person involved was right in front of him, so he might as well use tough measures to cut the Gordian knot.
"You, take off the mask." She lowered her face and spoke to Hei Pupa word by word.
"Is there a mask on my face? How come I didn't know?"
Black Pupa touched his face, which was only covered with a layer of restraints.
"Then... take off those tattered belts of yours."
"Isn't it impolite to ask someone you just met? I suggest you keep this attitude towards Blue Arc and say: Mr. Blue Arc, Mr. Blue Arc, can you take off your mask so I can see your handsome face?"
After saying that, Hei Pupa tilted his head and refused to pay attention to her.
Su Zimai gritted his teeth.
One second she was thinking about life, and the next second she received a call. Her cell phone ringtone was the theme song of "Happy Star Cat", which rang happily on the quiet trail of Shiba Park: "I am a cat, a happy star cat~"
"Well, it's a very tasteful ringtone, very suitable for a little girl like you who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Hei Pu said sarcastically, took out a mobile phone from inside the restraint belt, and played the minesweeper game that came with the system with his eyes lowered.
After hearing the ringtone, Su Zimai looked at the phone screen belatedly and was stunned for a moment.
The caller's name clearly displayed three large white characters "Gu Wenyu" - that's right, it was none other than her second brother who was both a rat and a moth.
She looked up blankly and glanced at the black pupa hanging upside down on the tree reading a book, then lowered her head and looked at the name on the screen, then breathed a sigh of relief. Her overheated and short-circuited brain was like a bucket of cold water poured on it and slowly cooled down.
"Captain, my brother called me." Su Zimai glared at Ke Qirui fiercely.
"Your brother?" Ke Qirui raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it was my brother who called me." Su Zimai said as he turned the phone towards Ke Qirui.
Her tone became a little colder, without any panic from before, like a cold female judge, she made up her mind: Captain, you are fooling me again, I was wondering how my brother could be such a big fool!
Without even raising his head, Hei Pupa continued to ramble on: "Miss, you can answer the phone first. It's okay for me to wait here. By the way, I am a very gentleman and I always respect women. I am also a feminist. I read Ueno Chizuko's "Misogyny" every morning. Finally, I am actually an awakened woman, one of you."
"If I believe you are a woman, I might as well commit suicide by disembowelment." Su Zimai actually said these words with the spirit of Japanese Bushido.
Black Pupa shook his head and raised a black finger: "Although my biological gender is male, how dare you assume my psychological gender? Maybe I am actually a beautiful girl in a sailor uniform under the mask?"
"Do you want to hang up?" Su Zimai asked Ke Qirui, her cell phone still ringing. But answering her second brother's call right now was obviously not a wise thing to do.
Ke Qirui put his hand on his chin and thought for a while: "No, you can go inside the curtain of the movie Devil to answer the phone. No one will disturb you, and no one can eavesdrop."
As she spoke, she fished out an old-fashioned one-way mirror from her windbreaker pocket and slowly put it on her left eye.
A faint light flashed on the lens, and then a crack suddenly opened up behind her, gradually expanding into a "movie screen".
Hei Pupa watched this scene silently. He still remembered that the two demons in Ke Qirui's retro one-way mirror contract were the "train demon" and the "movie demon". The wonder that appeared before his eyes at this moment was naturally the work of the "movie demon".
The scene inside the curtain was a long empty street with only black and white colors, like the set of a silent comedy.
"Don't run around, you big moth. I have something to ask you." Su Zimai raised his head and spoke to the black pupa hanging upside down under the tree in a commanding tone.
"Yes, miss." Hei Pupa replied without even raising his head.
Su Zimai glanced at him and stepped into the movie screen. His body suddenly lost all color, leaving only black and white, as if he had turned into a 2D character.
Then she dialed a phone in the long street of this pantomime, put the phone to her ear, and started talking to Gu Wenyu on the other end of the phone.
Because the movie demon generates a "silent movie", people outside the movie screen cannot hear the sounds in the movie scene. This also ensures that Su Zimai's conversation will not be eavesdropped by Hei Pupa, and the outside sounds will not be transmitted into the screen.
Ke Qirui stood quietly there, observing the scene behind the curtain with his peripheral vision.
A moment later, Su Zimai walked out from the movie screen, and his body turned into a three-dimensional character again.
She said: "My brother said that he can meet us tomorrow afternoon. He just arrived in Tokyo today and is too tired. He doesn't want to go out."
His tone was neither cold nor hot, and he even glanced at Ke Qirui in the middle, as if he was still angry with her.
Ke Qirui thought for a moment and confirmed, "Are you sure it's your brother's voice?"
Su Zimai spoke each word with emphasis: "Of course I am sure."
"Don't you feel anything strange?"
"No, I can fake the voice, but how could I not hear that annoying tone of his?"
Ke Qirui was silent for a while. During the conversation between Su Zimai and Gu Wenyu, she was staring at Hei Pu the whole time - there was no way Hei Pu would call Su Zimai with his mobile phone under her nose and talk to Su Zimai for several minutes.
She curled her lips and said, "It seems that I misunderstood Mr. Black Pupa."
Su Zimai glanced at the black pupa and felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He murmured with relief:
"I said my brother couldn't be this big fluttering moth... otherwise I would jump off the building right where I am. Even if he is a Blue Arc, it's better than being this big fluttering moth."
"Hey... then you'd better jump off the building quickly. How come I can't even compare to your big brother?" Ji Minghuan said in his heart with some unhappiness.
He raised his eyes from the mobile phone screen and looked at Ke Qirui with his eyes hanging upside down, admiring the confusion on the other's face.
The reason why he was able to get away with it was because of a series of preparations he made during the day.
