Chapter 98 The Possibility of Becoming a Hero (asking for monthly tickets)
"Is there any guest who is stronger than me?" Blue Arc thought, "I hope the auction organizer is not lying about the information and trying to trick us into taking on this mission with peace of mind."
There was silence in the villa hall, the waves washed the coast, and seagulls flew in with the morning sunshine.
"Let's stop here for today." Yingwu said, "Ms. Ke, Mr. Lanhu, when you come over tomorrow, we will start discussing how to arrange the defense measures for the auction."
She paused and said, "There are still five days before the auction begins. We have plenty of time to prepare."
"Okay." Ke Qirui smiled slightly, put his arm around Su Zimai's shoulders, and pulled her body closer, "My sister and I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Then I'll be leaving first." Blue Arc said.
Ke Qirui turned his head to look at him: "Mr. Lan Hu is really interesting. He was the slowest to come, but the one who left the fastest."
"Tokyo is a great place. There are so many delicious foods, and I still haven't tried many of them."
After saying that, Blue Arc walked out of the villa.
“If you couldn’t take off your mask, I’d really like to invite you to have breakfast with us.”
Ke Qirui watched him leave.
Lan Hu waved at her without turning his head, leaned forward slightly, and his body turned into a deep blue lightning and rushed towards the torii-style exit. He ran away in the astonished eyes of the bodyguards, with wisps of electric arcs still remaining in the air.
Since his brother had already left, Ji Minghuan had no reason not to leave. But he still stayed on the second floor for a while, hoping to see if he could get any private information.
He leaned against the mahogany railing and thought, "If the big shot 'guest' Yingwu mentioned is from the Salvation Society, then I can kidnap a random bodyguard these days and let the restraint belt incarnation take his identity and enter the auction site to see if I can find him."
Soon, Ke Qirui left with three members of the Ghost Train Group; only Yingwu and others were left in the living room of the villa.
Huiyuan Ritsu put one hand behind his back, adjusted his round-frame glasses, and said with a wry smile:
"These Chinese people are really aggressive in their words."
Dongshan Xinchang held the hilt of the knife and said coldly: "If it weren't for Miss Yingwu's sake, I would have fought with Xu Sanyan a long time ago."
Yingwu shook his head: "No matter what their personalities are, they are comrades who will live and die together, and we must treat them with caution. It is not a good thing for us to have a conflict at this point, and they are foreign aid invited by the association."
"How do you feel, Miss Yingwu?" asked Jingshou, who was dressed as an onmyoji. His voice was feminine, like the hissing of a snake.
"I saw it with my own eyes. The Blue Arc is stronger than I thought."
Yingwu said, looking up at the traces of electric arcs remaining in the air outside the villa, "The last time I saw him was a year ago. He has become much stronger."
"It seems... Blue Arc will soon become a disaster-level weapon." Jing Shou said with emotion.
"Yes, everyone can see that Blue Arc is aiming to become a member of Rainbow Wing." Yingwu paused, "I still care about that person."
"Black pupa?"
Huiyuan Ritsu uttered a name quietly.
"Black Pupa" is a confusing character: some people think he is just a showman, some people think he is a performance artist;
Some people think that he is a hidden person, hiding a huge conspiracy behind him, and every action of his has an ulterior motive...
"Yes, there must be a reason why Black Pupa came to Japan at such a coincidence." Yingwu pondered, "Although Blue Arc denied it, I still believe that he and Black Pupa have a cooperative relationship. I just don't know whether this cooperative relationship is good or bad for us."
"Do you suspect... that Blue Arc is threatened by Black Pupa?" Jing Shou opened his folding fan and covered his lower face.
"It's possible." Yingwu nodded.
"Then can we still trust Blue Arc?" asked Mirror Guardian.
"Let's take it one step at a time." After saying this, Yingwu walked out of the villa, and the other three did not stop either.
Before long, the hall was empty.
Only the second floor of the villa remained, and there was a large transparent fluttering moth napping against the railing.
Ji Minghuan drooped his eyelids and yawned: "I think I can consider establishing a cooperative relationship with Ying Wuye, just in time to improve the progress of the training task." He shrugged, "But... I feel that these people will not survive this auction, and I don't know if the dead partners will still be counted in the progress."
Thinking of this, he grabbed the windowsill on one side with the restraint belt and shot out of the window.
In mid-air, the sea breeze blew the restraints on his face, and the restraints reflected a crystal clear sea surface in his pupils.
In the sunlight, the horizon sparkles brightly, and one or two sails are swaying at the end of the sea.
Because he wasn't sure whether his elder brother would return to the Roppongi Hotel immediately after taking off his Blue Arc uniform, Ji Minghuan didn't dare to hang around outside and went straight back.
He crawled into the familiar floor-to-ceiling window, closed the window with restraints, drew the curtains, and then slowly removed the restraints from all over his body, revealing a thin body.
Seeing that she was still wearing pajamas, Ji Minghuan used a restraint belt to take out a set of clothes from the suitcase and put them on.
Just then, a ding sound came from the cell phone.
Ji Minghuan pulled the chain of his pants and picked up his phone with the restraints, then tilted his head and glanced at the message that popped up on the screen.
【Gu Qiye: Do you want to come out for breakfast? 】
"So brother rushed back from there just to have breakfast with me?" Ji Minghuan laughed dryly.
He stretched his neck and retracted the restraints that were tidying up his sleeves. He felt that Mr. Blue Arc really took his family too seriously...
Is this the Family Man?
Gu Qiye probably thought: I was busy all day yesterday, leaving my brother alone in the hotel. Feeling guilty, he kept thinking about finding a chance to spend some time with him today, so he appeared outside Gu Wenyu's room early in the morning.
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan couldn't help but feel a little funny: after less than ten days of getting along, he already knew the personalities of every family member.
But this is also because this family is full of straightforward people, and their thoughts are particularly easy to guess. I wonder if it is because they inherited Gui Zhong’s wild bull genes?
Of course...except for the dead mother.
Whenever Su Ying's kind face flashed through his mind, Ji Minghuan couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Gu Wenyu's mother is still alive, and suddenly jumps out of the grave to give their family a big surprise?
【Gu Wenyu: Eat, eat, eat. You can eat anything. 】
Ji Minghuan typed quickly using his restraints, then poked the screen to send.
Just one second after the message was sent, he heard a knock on the door - it turned out that Gu Qinye was leaning outside the door, sending a message on his mobile phone, waiting for his reply.
He curled his lips and walked out quickly, only to see that Gu Qinye had changed into a refreshing white T-shirt and black trousers, and was leaning against the wall in the corridor with his shoulders folded, waiting for him.
"Where are we going to eat?"
"You choose, eat whatever you want."
Gu Qinye raised his head and smiled at him, then threw his cell phone to Ji Minghuan.
The phone flying towards him was reflected in his pupils. Ji Minghuan could clearly feel that the phone was flying very slowly in the air, just like a snail crawling, and the crawling track was clearly visible.
In order to make his reaction appear slower, he deliberately delayed for a second before slowly extending his hand.
So Gu Qiye's phone slipped past his eyes and fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a red blanket on the ground, otherwise the screen might have been broken.
"What are you throwing away...do you think your phone is a Nokia?" Ji Minghuan said, "What's so great about being rich?" As he said that, he slowly bent down and picked up the phone from the ground.
He knew that Master Blue Arc was very wealthy and had made a lot of money from the Alien Association in recent years. However, in order to hide his identity from his family, Gu Qiye had no choice but to use Master Gui Zhong's bank card. Anyway, his father was very rich.
Gu Qiye hugged his shoulders and smiled: "It doesn't matter, if it breaks, I'll buy another one, and I'll also give you a new phone."
"Changing after the college entrance examination is just a waste of time."
Ji Minghuan said dejectedly, looking down at the introductions of the shops on the screen of his mobile phone, and his eyes stopped on a Western-style coffee shop called "Blue Bottle Coffee", which was located on a street in Roppongi, very close to their hotel.
"Let's go and eat this." He raised the screen and faced Gu Qinye.
So they took the elevator out of the hotel, and soon they arrived at the Western-style cafe.
Jazz music was playing in the cafe. Gu Qiye picked up the menu and ordered two freshly made waffles with maple syrup worth 1,080 yen, plus a summer limited edition hand-brewed coffee.
Then he looked up at his brother, only to see Ji Minghuan playing "Life is Strange" on his mobile phone with his head down.
"By the way... Wenyu, have you taken any ability tests recently?"
Gu Qinye pretended to be nonchalant and suddenly mentioned it.
In fact, he often worried that since he had the genes of a superpower in his body, would Gu Wenyu and Su Zimai also suddenly awaken their superpowers like him one day?
Ji Minghuan said without even looking up: "What is that? Why do I, a Muggle, need to take a test? Doesn't it say that if you don't awaken your superpowers before the age of fifteen, then the probability of awakening your superpowers after that is less than one percent?"
Gu Qiye thought for a moment and said, "If you awaken your superpowers, would you want to be a supernatural being?"
"I don't have much backbone. I would rather be a videographer and make money by attracting people's attention with my supernatural powers."
"That's good..." Gu Qinye smiled with relief. What he said was true. With his brother's personality, even if he awakened his superpowers, he would not do anything dangerous.
But Su Zimai is different. Xiaomai is irritable and impulsive, and he gets angry easily. If Su Zimai awakens his superpowers like him one day, the consequences will be unimaginable... Thinking of this, Gu Qiye decided to have a good talk with Su Zimai after returning home.
"How is your sister these days?" he asked in a low voice.
His cell phone number and WeChat were blocked by Su Zimai, so he could only contact his sister through Gu Wenyu.
"Don't worry about my sister. She's having a great time in China. She didn't send me a single WeChat message."
"Then remember to tell her that if she wants to go home, she can check the mailbox. I left her a key in the letter."
"Oh." Ji Minghuan paused, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Gu Qinye seriously, "By the way... Brother, do you think my sister..." He hesitated to speak, his face looked like he was constipated.
Gu Qiye was startled, frightened by his brother's expression, so he frowned and asked in a low voice:
"Xiaomi, what?"
"Do you think..." Ji Minghuan took a breath and said word by word: "Is there something wrong with her sexual orientation?"
"……ah?"
Gu Qiye was stunned for a moment, then his expression slowly relaxed, and he asked curiously:
"Sexual orientation?"
With that said, he did feel that Su Zimai's personality was somewhat masculine, and she didn't speak in the soft and gentle voice like other girls of the same age, but that was outside his blind spot.
Ji Minghuan nodded: "Yes, yes, I think my sister likes women. I saw her and that woman flirting in the park that day, and I couldn't stand it, so I ran away."
Gu Qiye hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Young people nowadays are all like this. In fact, if Xiaomai likes a girl, we can't say anything."
"Okay then. Respect and understand."
"Respect and understanding."
Gu Qiye shrugged and repeated with a smile. He didn't care who his sister liked, as long as she was happy and safe.
After thinking for a while, he finally gave a warning: "Wenyu, if you really awaken your superpowers one day, remember to discuss it with me. Maybe I can help you."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Ji Minghuan lowered his eyes and played with his cell phone.
He thought that if he had not chosen the main growth path of [Gray Character] when creating the character, but had chosen [Hero], he would probably have joined the "Alien Association" now, following Blue Arc to carry out missions and steadily improve his level as an alien.
It's just like the leveling and monster-killing routines commonly seen in hot-blooded comics.
Being protected by the big brother is naturally much less stressful than cooperating with him. At least there is no need to worry about the impact after the identity is exposed. But since he has chosen another path, Ji Minghuan does not regret it.
After all, having a younger brother to take care of is not a good thing for the eldest brother. Instead, it will make the villains who hate him become rampant, because it means that Blue Arc's weaknesses have increased. Just like Batman and Robin, Robin is always kidnapped by the Joker, and Batman always has to rush to rescue him.
After breakfast, Ji Minghuan and Gu Qiye returned to the hotel together.
He lay on the big bed in the hotel room, staring at the ceiling in a daze, sorting out the information he had obtained this morning in his mind:
"In addition to the Salvation Society, there is actually another possibility that the force behind the other guest mentioned by Yingwu is actually... that is the exorcist organization - 'Lake Hunter'."
Lake Lie, a Chinese exorcist team led by the lion dancer "Lin Xingshi", has a total of four people. Each member is a third-level exorcist, and each of them is as strong as the members of Hongyi.
Reason told him: the probability that the other guest came from "Lake Hunting" was much greater than the probability that he came from "Salvation Society".
But... even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that someone from the Salvation Society will show up at this auction, Ji Minghuan must find out the identity of this guest.
The current situation does not allow him to miss any opportunity to find the Salvation Society. Even if there is only a clue, he must hold on to it tightly, because... that may be the only chance for him to escape.
"I must rescue my original body and Kong Youling from the laboratory within two months at the latest... No one knows what kind of monsters the Salvation Society is cultivating now, or whether they are developing the world's most powerful and effective superpower inhibitor to kill me in bed."
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan decided to test his current strength.
The capabilities of Unit 1 are currently still focused on reconnaissance and tracking; there is no doubt that when it comes to combat... Unit 2's current capabilities are far stronger than Unit 1.
Xia Pingzhou's combat ability represents the highest level that Ji Minghuan can currently display.
So he slowly closed his eyelids and synchronized his consciousness with Xia Pingzhou.
When she got up from the mattress on the ground, Ayase Origami was no longer in the attic. It seemed that the young lady in kimono did not have the habit of staying in bed. The pages that she had pasted on the window last night had fallen down and were hanging on the ground.
Ji Minghuan washed up in the bathroom in the attic, then went downstairs. The old circular staircase creaked.
He walked down the stairs, looked up at Ayase Origami who was drinking coffee and reading haiku, then turned to look at Oda Takikage who was sitting behind the counter reading a newspaper.
"Number 4, are you free?" Staring at Oda Takikage, he spoke expressionlessly.
Oda Takikage raised his thick and short eyebrows, slightly lowered his reading glasses for reading the newspaper, and raised his head from the newspaper.
"What's wrong...Number 12?" he asked.
"Fight with me. I want to test my strength."
Ji Minghuan looked into his eyes and spoke slowly.
Ayase Origami glanced at Xia Pingzhou, her eyes seemed to say: Why are you panting so early in the morning, little cat?
