Chapter 92 Ghost Bell, Meeting Time (First Order)
The rain was pouring down, and the glow of neon signs filled the rainy Tokyo. But only a beam of lightning in the sky would favor this abandoned building in a remote corner.
At this moment, in the floor shrouded in darkness.
From a distance, Gui Zhong stared at the black pupa motionlessly.
The black pupa was hanging upside down below the ceiling. He looked away from the book, slowly turned his head, and looked at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared on the floor.
After just a glance at the other person, he lowered his eyes and continued to flip through the book "How to Get Rid of the Negative Influence of Original Family" in his hand.
After a moment, he said slowly:
"Mr. Gu Zhuo'an, oh no... I'm calling you 'Mr. Ghost Bell' now... You're really punctual. I thought you'd gone home to beat the kids, but I didn't expect you to still remember a stranger like me. I'm so moved that I'm about to burst into tears."
Amid the roar, a flash of lightning once again illuminated the majestic figure standing in the center of the floor - he wore a metal helmet with a Z-shaped pattern, a pitch-black cloak, his scarlet pupils slightly narrowed, and a violent gleam of light was cast in the darkness from the corner of his eyes.
Ghost Bell walked slowly towards the black pupa. Amidst the sound of his footsteps, a heavy metallic sound came from behind the mask:
"Tell me, why do you know those things?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb..." Gui Zhong lowered his voice.
Black Pupa flipped the pages of the book with a rustling sound, and suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand. You mean: how did I know that you had an affair with the boss lady of the underworld?"
He scratched his chin. "Compared to this, I actually want to remind you: our poor little widow, Mr. Ghost Zhong, has been a widow for five years. It is not illegal to find a new girlfriend, and your wife will not crawl out of the grave to kick your ass."
"Be bold. Embrace your new life bravely, Mr. Ghost Bell."
After Hei Pupa's last words fell, Gui Zhong suddenly stopped.
At that moment, it was as if a train roared through the sky, thunder roared, and lightning flashed across the gray sky, bringing a flash of daylight, briefly illuminating the motionless figure in the middle of the floor.
When the lightning faded, the ghost bell could no longer be seen at the spot.
The next moment, Gui Zhong's face was reflected in the black pupa's pupils, and the violent, blood-red eyes were very close.
He pulled the black pupa down from the ceiling with his movements as natural as taking a toy box from the shelf in a convenience store.
With a "click", the restraints burst apart.
Then Gui Zhong raised his hand and grabbed Hei Pupa's neck, pressing him against the wall - in a battle with such a huge difference in level, there was no need to use any abilities at all, relying on strength and speed was enough to achieve the purest and most primitive crushing of combat power.
"Why do you know me so well... and the people around me?" Gui Zhong asked hoarsely, word by word.
Even though his neck was being strangled and his legs were hanging in the air, Black Pupa's expression remained calm.
He looked at Gui Zhong with amusement and said, "What are you angry about and why are you so uneasy, Mr. Gui Zhong?"
Gui Zhong remained silent, just narrowed his eyes and stared at him motionlessly.
"I understand... You are angry about your own incompetence. You are also angry about why Gu Qiye became a Differentiator without discussing it with you in advance... But he abandoned his child for two years and now he comes back hypocritically, pretending to be willing to fight and be beaten. Do you think that in his eyes, everything that happened in the past two years can be written off?"
At this point, Hei Pupa slowly looked away, with a hint of regret in his tone:
"Unfortunately, it's too late. Gu Qiye was used as a pawn by the United Nations officials. Do you think they didn't investigate his background thoroughly? No... They took advantage of Gu Qiye's obsession with Hong Yi and used him as a tool."
"And when your son finally entered Rainbow Wing, he thought he could find out the truth about his mother, but he didn't know that he had stepped into hell."
Gui Zhong tightened his grip on his neck, and his low roar resounded through the building like thunder:
"Shut up!"
Hei Pupa coughed twice and a hoarse laugh came out of his throat, as if mocking him.
He said: "To the United Nations, your good son is just a piece of waste paper that can be thrown away after use. After squeezing out all his value, they will symbolically hold a mourning meeting for Mr. Blue Arc, just like... five years ago, they used those hundreds of thousands of dollars to get rid of your dead wife."
"And the reason this happened... is because of you, a father who doesn't care about your own children."
Black Pupa's voice was calm, as if he was recounting history that had already happened, and he immediately gave the other person a sympathetic look:
"We've made the same mistake again, Mr. Ghost Bell."
After these words fell, a silence fell between the two of them. Gui Zhong stood there in a daze, recalling the scene five years ago when he watched his wife die.
Hei Pupa used his restraints to pick up the book "How to Get Rid of the Negative Influence of Your Original Family" from the ground and said slowly:
"You could have noticed it earlier - if you were willing to come back even once in the past two years... but you didn't. You entrusted the two children to Gu Qiye."
"While he is taking care of your two children, he also has to endure high pressure and risk his life every day to clean up the mess for the government you hate so much. He works so hard to tell his powerless and self-destructive father the truth..."
At this point, Hei Pu raised his head to meet Gui Zhong's turbulent gaze, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"But what did this father do? Do you want me to enumerate your sins: using a knife to carve scars on the body of your beloved child, you must be happy, right?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at his five fingers wrapped in restraints: "On a practical level: you cut his throat with your wrist blade; on a spiritual level... not only did you ignore him, but you even came back after two years and looked at him coldly, saying to him: 'Have you forgotten your mother?'"
Gui Zhong stood there in a daze.
He nodded slightly and looked at the ground, the red light in his pupils fluctuating like a candle flickering in the darkness.
Yes, he did say that to Gu Qinye... No wonder Gu Qinye was so furious and hysterical at that time, like a mad little lion.
"Your words are very interesting and destructive, just like a child pouring hot water into an ant nest," Hei Pu praised. "I'm afraid that in Gu Qiye's eyes, it's as if his father has denied his entire life... You so cruelly and easily wrote off all his hidden efforts for his family, and demoted him to a ungrateful and useless person."
"No, that's not what I meant!" Ghost Bell growled, and the metallic magnetism shook the entire building.
He suddenly jumped up, grabbed the black pupa's body and smashed it against the wall!
The entire floor was rumbling and shaking, and holes were appearing on the walls one after another.
"You are so incompetent. You are still the same as always... you can't accept reality. You can only use violent and extreme means to numb yourself, and throw yourself into that bloodthirsty and crazy world, just like a stupid bear hiding in a tree hole to avoid the world."
The black pupa opened his mouth with a grin, his body was already torn into pieces: dead snake-like restraints leaked out from the holes in his body, just like pinching a pillow and letting out piles of cotton scraps.
The ghost bell continued to smash his body against the wall, and the black pupa's body sank deeper and deeper.
Bang, bang, bang! The loud and violent noises continued to echo on the floors, drowning out the noise of the heavy rain.
But no matter how he abused it, the black pupa's voice still floated calmly in the floor, like a devil's voice piercing his ears:
"Your son is completely throwing himself into a flame, Mr. Gui Zhong. From the moment he has a father like you, once he successfully joins Hongyi, it will only become an irreversible tragedy."
"The UN top brass will never trust a deviant whose father is a criminal. When the fact that you are the 'Ghost Bell' is exposed soon, your son's situation will become even more interesting. Guess how the UN will treat him then?
"And what will Gu Qiye think of this father who made all his efforts go to waste?"
"Shut up--!!!"
The ghost bell roared, and smashed its fist wrapped in a metal glove into the deep pit, punching through the black pupa's abdomen.
But he didn't see any blood, only a piece of restraints hanging on the ground. He panted like a beast, pulled his fist out of the black pupa's body, and looked at his bloodless fingertips, as if he had punched cotton.
At this moment, the black pupa's voice came slowly, like a maggot attached to the bone, like a ghost:
"By the way, let me tell you: in a few days, the White Crow Brigade will come to Tokyo, Japan. Their target is the underground auction."
"...Auction?"
Gui Zhong muttered to himself hoarsely, narrowing his scarlet eyes.
"Yes, it's the auction that the lady boss you've been dreaming of told you about. What a pity, I thought you would accept her proposal."
Black Pupa paused, lowered his voice and asked, "Why did your son come to Tokyo at this time? Even with your confused mind, you should be able to guess it, right?"
Gui Zhong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and met the dark eyes in the deep pit:
"He...will attend the auction?"
"That's half right. To be precise: Gu Qinye will serve as the bodyguard of the auction and face off against that vicious group of villains head-on." As he spoke, the black pupa squeezed his head out of the pit in the wall.
He slapped Gui Zhong's hand away. "You should have heard about that incident. A few days ago in Lijing Square, Mr. Blue Arc, who was seriously injured by you, had no choice but to accept Green Wing's proposal." He smiled. "At that time, he actually wanted to wear the handcuffs that Green Wing handed over... You and I both know what will happen after he put on those handcuffs. Maybe the handcuffs suddenly exploded and both of your son's arms were blown off."
Having said this, Black Pupa slowly raised his head and looked directly into Ghost Bell's eyes:
"But the question is... why was Gu Qiye stupid enough to wear those handcuffs? What made him become like this today?"
Gui Zhong narrowed his eyes and asked indifferently:
"Why?"
"Because long before he put on those handcuffs, a 14-year-old boy had put shackles on his heart... He never got over his mother's death, so he couldn't bear to watch any ordinary person die at the hands of a superpower."
Black Pupa paused: "Otherwise, he will feel that he has betrayed himself, the powerless boy who watched his mother die in front of him five years ago."
Gui Zhong was slightly startled, and muttered Gu Qiye's name to himself: "Qiye..."
"So do you understand? In your family, the person who is least able to get over your mother's death is not you, but your good child - 'Gu Qiye'."
Hei Pupa spoke slowly, and his voice seemed to carry the sound of thunder outside the window.
The rain was getting heavier. Ghost Bell lowered his head and panted like a crazy buffalo. The hand that was tightly grasping the black pupa's head slowly loosened. He said to himself:
"I can persuade him... persuade him to stop."
Black Pupa shook his head: "No, it's too late. What did you do earlier? Even if you were willing to give this poor child a little care instead of abandoning him alone, he would never have become the fool he is today who thinks he is righteous and whose eyes are blinded by obsession. He is a complete tragedy."
"No...it's not too late."
"Face the reality. He is beyond saving. As a father, you can only watch him walk step by step into the fire and meet the inevitable end." Black Pupa said slowly, "You, the culprit, are the one who is least qualified to persuade him... Mr. Ghost Bell."
"What do you know?" Ghost Bell roared, "I will make up for everything!"
Hearing this, Hei Pu closed the book in his hand contentedly and said quietly:
"You do have a chance to redeem yourself, but you only have one chance, and this unique opportunity is right in front of you..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Cooperate with me. This is your last chance."
"Cooperate... with you?" Gui Zhong laughed in anger.
"That's right, cooperate with me." Black Pupa grinned, "I will help you pull your child back from hell; and... I can also help you find the Rainbow Wing member who killed your wife, and help you find an opportunity, an opportunity to take revenge on him."
"Do you think I will believe you?" Gui Zhong paused and sneered coldly, "Believe a... madman?"
"Actually, I think you're more of a lunatic than me." Black Pupa said sarcastically, "Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. When did you become so unrecognizable?"
"No, I will not cooperate with you. Don't even think about it."
Gui Zhong spoke word by word, his pupils flashing with madness under the mask.
"Really? But I think if you see what I look like under the mask, you'll want to work with me." Hei Pu shrugged. "Mr. Gui Zhong, are you curious... what kind of face I have under my mask?"
Gui Zhong turned his head to look at him and sneered coldly, as if mocking this lunatic who had no self-awareness.
But just as he was about to speak sarcastically, his pupils suddenly contracted - at this moment, the restraints wrapped around the black pupa's face had shrunk back into the skin of his face.
Then, a beautiful face was exposed in the humid air during the rainstorm.
The flash of lightning outside the window suddenly illuminated the face.
It was slowly reflected in the eyes of the ghost bell.
Gu Zhuoan stared at the face beneath the black pupa mask and murmured hoarsely:
"wheat?"
It was Su Zimai's appearance.
