Chapter 93 Black Pupa: I, your daughter (asking for monthly ticket)
The restraints slowly faded from Black Pupa's face, exposing his features to the damp, cold air, and also to Ghost Bell's eyes:
——There is no doubt that it was Gu Zhuoan’s daughter, “Su Zimai”.
"wheat?"
At this moment, Gui Zhong stood there in a daze, and almost instinctively and hoarsely pronounced his daughter's name.
The low voice was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain, and the force exerted by the ghost bell on the metal gloves slowly dissipated.
The rain was getting heavier, as if it was going to drown the entire city. A flash of lightning flashed, illuminating the two people in the dim floor.
The light as bright as day fell on Hei Pupa's face, helping Gui Zhong to realize once again that what he saw was not an illusion.
"No... Wheat."
Belatedly, Gui Zhong's scarlet pupils suddenly shrank - at this moment, the surging murderous intent in his eyes completely faded away, and was replaced by astonishment, panic, and surprise.
As if he had accidentally touched a torture instrument that had been burned by fire, he panicked and loosened his right hand that was twisting the black pupa's neck.
"No... How is this possible?"
He shook his head, drooped his shoulders weakly, and slowly took two steps back.
The appearance under the black pupa mask was still reflected in the contracted pupils: Su Zimai's expression was cold, yet stubborn, with a kind of pride that refused to be outdone.
There was still blood at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes seemed to be looking at a poor person.
Gui Zhong's body was like a kite with a broken string, staggering on the ground and slowly retreating backwards.
He shook his head and roared: "No, no! ... No--!"
Staring at Su Zimai's face which was slightly twisted with pain, the fear and self-blame in Gui Zhong's heart completely exploded at this moment, and his mind was filled with a lot of thoughts.
Did I hurt my own daughter?
I thought I was protecting my family, but…why her?
Why, wheat?
Why do I keep making the same mistake...every time?
The painful memories in his mind were brought up again: the bloody half of his face under the Blue Arc mask; the bloodstain at the corner of Su Zimai's mouth.
Gui Zhong thought as he stepped back, as if escaping from the bloody reality before him.
He wanted to continue to distance himself from his daughter, but he had no way to retreat, and his back slowly rested against a thick pillar.
With his back against the pillar, Gu Zhuoan slowly lowered his head. The red light in his pupils flickered uncertainly, like the snowflakes that filled the screen when a TV malfunctioned.
"Xiaomi, what have I done..." He covered his forehead and muttered hoarsely.
Gui Zhong's whole body was shaking, and he recalled the scene of smashing his daughter against the wall and strangling her neck. He gritted his teeth and roared.
With Su Zimai's face on his shoulders, the black pupa slowly rose from the pit in the wall.
He adjusted the throat of the restraint incarnation and uttered a voice as clear as a girl's, but slightly hoarse:
"You are so cruel, Dad. Is this how you treat your daughter?"
His body, wrapped in restraints, walked forward step by step, appearing hideous and broken under the lighting.
But that face was so real, with anger and sadness in the pupils.
After a long silence, Gui Zhong slowly knelt down, his head hung, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
He asked word by word:
"Xiaomi, why...it has to be you?"
"Yeah... why me?" Su Zimai said sarcastically, "You abandoned your daughter for two years and ignored your son. Is it possible that I have to wear a mask to wake you up and let you know what you have done to your family?"
"I was wrong. I was really wrong."
The ghost bell kept muttering to itself, and even though the mask had transformed the voice into a very metallic sound, one could still hear the weakness and pleading mixed in it.
He lowered his voice and said tiredly:
"Xiaomi, let's go home. Please... go home with me."
"Go home?" Su Zimai said expressionlessly, "If my brother dies, will we still have a home to return to?"
After a pause, she asked aggressively, "Without my mother, and now my brother, is this still a home?"
Gui Zhong said firmly: "He won't die."
"Yes, then cooperate with me, Dad. Let's go save my brother together." Su Zimai stumbled towards Gui Zhong and said softly, "Come with me...save him."
However, at this moment, staring at Su Zimai's face, Gu Zhuoan suddenly recalled one thing: that day Hei Pupa pretended to be a member of that underworld family and sneaked into the bar.
But when Gu Zhuoan left the bar, he found the man in the flowered shirt hanging under the billboard.
——The black pupa has the ability to change its appearance.
This thought was like a truck crashing into Gu Zhuoan's heart. With the sudden sound of brakes, the front of the truck smashed all his worries and confusion into pieces.
He was deceived.
Thinking of this, Gui Zhong suddenly raised his head and narrowed his bloodshot eyes:
"You deceived me... You have the ability to disguise yourself."
"Uh...actually, I really am Su Zimai. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you my mother's birthday?" Hei Pu said lightly, and his tone suddenly returned to its usual playful state.
"How dare you lie to me?" Gui Zhong's voice turned completely cold.
"Oh my god, why yell so loudly? It was just a little joke to help improve the relationship between us..."
Hei Pu covered his ears and shook his head, then sighed deeply. He simply stopped pretending, stood up, and stopped walking half-kneeling.
He even stomped the ground hard with his feet and jumped around lively.
Black Pupa raised his head, looked directly into Ghost Bell's eyes, and said indifferently:
"You know, you only need to say 'cooperation' to close the main mission. But why didn't you say it? Why did you find out at this point? Is it so difficult for you to say a word?"
Hei Pu's tone was like that of a little boy who had been caught playing a prank. He was disappointed, unreasonable, and angry. He put his hands on his hips and continued to accuse:
"If you are willing to say the word 'cooperation', then wouldn't it be good for you, me and everyone else?"
"What's good about it?" Gui Zhong slowly stood up from the pillar.
"What's good about it? That's even a question. As for you... you have a new daughter, and you are a happy father of twin daughters and two good sons. As for me, I have completed the main mission, patted my butt and walked away."
At this point, Hei Pupa put his hands on his hips, lowered his head and sighed deeply: "Alas, but now...because of your stupid behavior, everything is ruined."
After saying that, the black pupa lowered his head dejectedly, and once again changed his face into the incarnation of the restraint belt.
He showed his true form, spread his hands, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, good father. Actually, I'm not Su Zimai, I'm Gu Wenyu."
"You still want to lie to me?"
Gui Zhong slowly stood up from the ground and stared coldly at Gu Wenyu's face on the black pupa's face.
His anger was completely ignited, as if he was being mocked as a clown. Hei Pupa first pretended to be his daughter, and now after being exposed, she was pretending to be his second son.
"Please, I really am Gu Wenyu..."
Black Pupa tilted his head slightly, pointed at his own face, and said innocently, "Look at my face, look at my little expression, can other people pretend to be so similar?"
The face of the restraint incarnation was the original face of Gu Wenyu, without any changes in the details.
But because he forgot to change the details of his throat, his voice was still Su Zimai's when he spoke - Gu Wenyu's face matched with Su Zimai's tone, which was extremely strange.
Like a fucking android.
Gui Zhong was furious.
The next second, as a strong bell rang, time seemed to stop at that moment.
When Hei Pupa came to his senses, his pupils shrank slightly, and he found himself on the wall ten meters behind, with Gui Zhong pinching his neck, and those crazy eyes were very close.
The ability to stop time? Black Pupa thought, no... is this slowing down the flow of time?
The ghost clock said: "You are finished."
"Well, actually I am Gu Qinye." As he spoke, the black pupa transformed himself into Gu Qinye's appearance again.
He said jokingly, "I can still be your dead wife, Su Ying... Please, if she sees you having an affair with the bar owner's wife, she will rush out of the coffin and kick your ass, my good father."
In order to prevent himself from being further confused by the black pupa's face, Gui Zhong raised his hand and tore off his face directly.
Gui Zhong looked down at his right hand. On his metal glove was not a human face, but a restraint belt that was drooping like a dead snake.
Seeing this scene, Gui Zhong finally understood that the black pupa standing here was just a clone... a cover.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the black pupa's face again.
At this moment, the black pupa's face was already a terrifying void, a foreign object made of tangled restraints:
Hei Pupa grinned, and the restraints kept falling down from his face like black tears.
He said, "Sure enough, I thought I could fool you, Mr. Ghost Bell... But you really have no sense of humor. Can the atmosphere between us not be so... tense?"
Ghost Bell stared at this ugly, inhuman face and spoke word by word:
"Whatever your purpose in approaching us is, I warn you... If you dare to do anything harmful to my sons and daughters, no matter where your real body is, I will find you and tear you in half."
Hearing this, the corners of Hei Pu's mouth widened even higher, almost reaching both sides of his cheeks.
He said faintly, "Oh, I will welcome you then. I think... you will like my appearance under the mask very much. You will definitely like it... so much that you will want to tear your heart into pieces."
Just as he finished speaking, his head was suddenly embedded into the wall by a hand. Thousands of cracks appeared on his body, and every restraint was heating up and whining.
Soon, this strange body began to disintegrate, turning into pieces of hot gas that gradually evaporated.
The world was silent, but the anger in Gui Zhong's heart had not yet subsided. He breathed deeply, staring at a hole in the wall, as if he was looking at the gap in his heart.
Gui Zhong slowly took off the breathing mask on his face. Gu Zhuoan withdrew his gaze from the holes on the wall and lowered his head to look at the fragments of the restraints hanging on the ground.
A furious roar was heard from the dead silence of the floor.
It was still raining heavily outside the window, and the whole city of Tokyo was whimpering under the thunder. The Japanese characters on the neon signs flickered, and passers-by in raincoats came and went.
