Chapter 94 Rainy Night, Mystery (asking for monthly ticket)
July 15th, night, Roppongi Hotel.
The heavy rain was still falling in Tokyo, and the big raindrops were hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The light in the corner of the room was dim. There was a night light on the bedside table. Under the light, a young man in a black hoodie was lying. He had his eyes closed and was sleeping peacefully.
But after a while, as the "restraint belt incarnation" died violently at the hands of Ghost Bell, Ji Minghuan suddenly opened his eyes in bed.
At the same time, a red and black prompt box appeared in the pupils.
[Hint: Your "restraint belt incarnation" has died. ]
[After a 12-hour cooldown period, you can release the "Restraint Belt Avatar" again. ]
Ji Minghuan looked at the prompt panel, then looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at Tokyo, which was shrouded in rain.
He had a blank expression on his face, as if he was gathering his emotions.
After a while, he took a deep breath and cursed very quickly: "Dead dad, stinky dad, rotten dad, violent donkey, go to hell with mom's coffin as soon as possible, and be reborn as a big moth in the next life!"
I'm afraid... this is the first time that Ji Minghuan has faced the murderous intent of such a high-level strong man. Before, among the strong men of the same level as Gui Zhong: whether it was Blue Arc or the White Crow Brigade, he could barely make friends with them.
Therefore, I have never experienced this kind of brutal and unreasonable oppression.
He experienced it a little bit today, and it was like a huge black river was roaring and rushing towards him, engulfing all the buildings along the way, and was about to wrap him up completely.
The crazy face of Gui Zhong flashed through Ji Minghuan's mind again. He slowly crossed his arms under his body and rested his head on them.
He stared at the ceiling of the hotel, his mind racing.
Judging from the result of this negotiation, Ji Minghuan was indeed foresighted:
——If he had gone to see his father in his original form instead of using an avatar with restraints, then his No. 1 machine would have probably died suddenly on the spot for no apparent reason.
Unfortunately, we were unable to reach a cooperative relationship with Gui Zhong until the end.
Perhaps it was because during the negotiation, Ji Minghuan couldn't help but speak coldly and made a few sarcastic remarks, which caused his father to be in a state of out-of-control and rampage from beginning to end - other people might still hold on to the remaining rational thinking after being stimulated.
But Gu Zhuoan ignored his threats and just vented his anger.
In fact, even if he communicated normally or even begged for mercy humbly, Gui Zhong would never cooperate with him.
Ji Minghuan knew clearly that Gu Zhuo was not looking to cooperate with him from the beginning.
This mad bull is just here to vent his anger.
After some time, when the auction incident is over, Gu Zhuoan's mind should be much calmer, and it won't be too late to try to reach a cooperative relationship with his father then.
Soon, Gu Zhuo'an will understand how important the character of "Black Pupa" is to him and Blue Arc.
And now... at least Ji Minghuan's goal has been achieved: telling his father that Lan Hu is his good son, and also previewing the big event of the auction in a few days.
In this way, it is almost certain that Dad will appear at the auction.
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan silently cheered for Uncle Gui Zhong in his heart:
"Come on, Dad. I'll take care of my sister, and you protect my brother. The main mission of Black Pupa depends on you. It would be best if you could help me kill Jack the Ripper, so that Xia Pingzhou's mission will also be completed..."
After watching the heavy rain outside for a while, he thought of Kong Youling again.
The face of the white-haired girl flashed through his mind and he slowly closed his eyes.
But just as he was beginning to feel sleepy, the thunder that Gu Wenyu and Xia Pingzhou heard overlapped, forming an extremely loud sound that rudely pulled him back to reality from his sleep.
Ji Minghuan sighed slightly. The senses of the two bodies overlapped, and the noise doubled, making it extremely noisy.
What's more, he hated rainy nights because he was abandoned by his parents on a rainy night...
Every time this happened he would always feel uneasy, as if he was going to lose something, so he always wanted to find a cabinet to lock himself up - as long as he locked himself up, he would know nothing.
At this moment, Ji Minghuan suddenly missed the environment of the prison cell. It never rained there, and there was only a vacuum-like tranquility.
Since he couldn't sleep anyway and had nothing to do, he synchronized his consciousness with Xia Pingzhou's perspective.
The wind was howling, lightning was flashing and thunder was roaring, the attic windows were shaking, and the door of the cafe downstairs was also shaking. Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes from the mattress on the floor.
He tilted his head from the pillow and stole a glance at Ayase Origami who was sleeping soundly under the moonlight.
Tonight, the second machine will still sleep in the attic with this young lady... In fact, Ji Minghuan likes the attic very much, perhaps it is a habit inherited from the orphanage.
As if she noticed his gaze, Ayase Origami slowly opened her eyes, tilted her head, and cast an emotionless look at him.
The two looked at each other and said nothing.
Ayase Origami's eyes were still empty, but her look was not cold. Instead, it was as if she was looking at a frightened kitten awakened by thunder.
Amid the sound of the pouring rain, she stared at Xia Pingzhou for a while, then closed her eyes again.
There was still no sound of human voice in the attic, but the waste paper pages on the ground suddenly rose up with a rustling sound, densely covering every gap in the window.
For a moment, the sounds of heavy rain and thunder were completely blocked outside.
The world was silent, except for a line of moonlight shining through a tiny hole in the paper.
Under the moonlight, the remaining paper pages formed a line of Japanese in mid-air:
"Kitten, go to bed early."
Ji Minghuan was stunned and thought: Miss, are you really treating me like a cat?
Seeing Ayase Origami's peaceful sleeping face under the moonlight, Ji Minghuan also controlled Xia Pingzhou to slowly close his eyelids.
Thanks to the help of the kimono girl, Xia Pingzhou's side quieted down, and the voices in Ji Minghuan's head were no longer as loud and symphonic as a choir.
Slowly, he fell asleep.
"Restricted-level psychic, number 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', the instructor is visiting, get ready quickly."
The sudden sound of the broadcast woke Ji Minghuan from his hazy sleep.
When he opened his eyes, the heavy metal door had already opened. He turned his head and saw his mentor walking slowly towards him with his hands behind his back and a warm smile on his face.
"Good evening."
Ji Minghuan rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, walked past his mentor, picked up a wet towel from the floor at the entrance, and wiped his face.
Then he slowly sat down opposite the instructor, holding his cheek and asked:
"What are you doing here today?"
"How do you feel after meeting Firion?"
"What a stupid dog. I thought he was a wolf, but he turned out to be a husky. Oh no... a big golden retriever."
"Haha..." The instructor smiled, "I told you, he's not as scary as you think."
"I'm very sleepy. Tell me what you want to say." Ji Minghuan hated to see his smiling face, so he crossed his arms on the table and urged him impatiently.
"I said last time that I would talk to you about your parents." The instructor said with a serious expression, "Let me tell you the conclusion first. They are still alive."
As he spoke, he took out a photo from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Ji Minghuan's heart moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the photo. In the photo were two blurry figures wearing turbans and windbreakers, and only their facial outlines could be seen.
"What can you see clearly?" He frowned.
"This is a photo our people took in Arabia three years ago. Your parents were wandering there at the time."
"Three years ago? Why did you notice my parents three years ago? The prediction that I would destroy the world was not a recent thing." Ji Minghuan caught the other party's logical loophole.
The mentor looked into his eyes and slowly put the fingers of his hands together.
"Because your parents... were once one of us."
"ha?"
“Here are their files.”
The tutor opened the two files on the table.
The owner of the file on the left is named "Ji Huaiye", and the owner of the file on the right is named "Lin Xi". Date of birth, measurements, weight, detailed resume... every piece of information is extremely detailed.
"Wait, my father's last name is clearly Ji." Ji Minghuan said, "You can't make up something like parents for me out of thin air, right?"
"That's a pseudonym...his real name is Ji Huaiye." The instructor said, taking out a photo from his sleeve.
The faces in the photo were undoubtedly Ji Minghuan's parents. They were wearing white coats and had a six-pointed star medal hanging on their shoulders, which looked like the pattern of the "Salvation Society".
The two faced the camera with faint smiles on their faces.
My parents...are members of the Salvation Society? Ji Minghuan was slightly stunned.
"Your father was once one of our senior staff members, and your mother was an experimenter in the scientific research department... According to my investigation, they disappeared eight years ago. We have been looking for them, but have not been able to find them." The instructor paused, "We have never known that they had a child. It seems that you were born before they joined the organization. They concealed this fact."
Eight years ago... that was the time they locked me in the closet and disappeared. Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan was skeptical, his eyes rolled, and then asked:
"Then why are they gone?"
The instructor thought for a moment and said, "We don't know the reason either. We are still investigating."
He paused and said, "There are still many mysteries about your parents, but there are some things I can tell you clearly. Your father, Ji Huaiye, is a powerful natural disaster-level mutant who has performed many extremely dangerous tasks for us. "
"And your mother is very talented. She helped us improve the effect of the superpower inhibitor and promoted it to the entire organization. The inhibitor used on you now is the result of her scientific research..."
"Come to think of it, there's a reason why your potential is so terrifying."
Ji Minghuan was silent for a long time: "You mean... they left me behind for a reason?"
"Yes." The instructor said, "And the reason is not simple, otherwise why would they disappear for so many years?"
Ji Minghuan stared into his eyes: "You must know the reason."
"If I knew, I would definitely tell you." The mentor said, "I just want to tell you... your father is a very beloved person here. He is powerful and has noble character. He must love you very much, so he doesn't want you to get involved in these dangerous things. He keeps you well protected from us."
"But... he didn't know that he gave birth to a restricted child." Ji Ming laughed.
"That's right... your only problem is that you are a restricted-level psychic." The instructor said softly, looking directly into Ji Minghuan's eyes, "And I will definitely help you find them and figure out why they abandoned you back then."
Ji Minghuan didn't know how much truth and how much falsehood there was in his teacher's words. Finally, he was silent for a while, and then he just said:
"Are you done? I'll go to sleep after that."
The instructor was silent for a moment: "Then take a rest." Then he stood up from the table.
"By the way, we will arrange for you to meet the second child living here."
"Tell me, what's going on this time?" Ji Minghuan knew that the children who could be taken in here could not be simple people. He could get a glimpse of this from the little devil "Fiorio".
"This child is a curiosity maker."
The instructor paused, then slowly lowered his voice, "And he has a unique 'mythical wonder' bound to him."
