Chapter 99 Xia Pingzhou: What? I beat up a team member? (Second update, asking for monthly tickets)
In the cafe, Oda Takikage lowered his reading glasses on his nose and glanced at Xia Pingzhou who was standing across the counter.
Then he slowly lowered his head to read the newspaper and said in a gentle and low voice:
"Tonight, the remaining three members will arrive in Tokyo. If you want to spar with someone, you can find No. 5. Her name is Lan Duoduo... She is a soft-hearted person."
"No." Ji Minghuan shook his head and said, "I only want to fight with you, forget about the other members."
In the official information provided by Yingwu, the brigade's No. 4 member "Oda Takikage" was judged to be a peak dragon-level psychic.
There may still be some errors in the Japanese official estimate of the strength of other members, but Ayase Origami and Oda Takikage are people who escaped from the mafia family, and the Japanese side must know them much better than other members.
Even if there are deviations, they will not be far from the actual strength.
Therefore, Ji Minghuan wanted to fight with Oda Takikage, who was at the peak of the Dragon level...
See with your own eyes how big the gap is between you and him.
There is another reason: Oda Takikage looks tall and bulky, with a strong back and a ferocious frame, but he is the most difficult enemy for Unit 2 to deal with: a speed-type ability user.
"I'm sorry, but I still don't have the desire to fight with you. I've been fighting enough all the time, and it's rare for me to have some free time..."
Oda Takikage lowered his eyes and looked at the newspaper. His voice was honest and calm. "No. 12, why don't you calm down and sit down to drink some coffee? You don't need to worry about the auction. We will be responsible for killing them all."
Although he said he was tired of killing, Oda Ryuue was calm when he said the words "kill them all" - to this ninja butler, killing people was like punching in at work, he was too lazy to do it, but he was used to it.
"Kitten, panting."
Ayase Origami said this lightly, taking her eyes off Xia Pingzhou's face and continuing to look at her haiku book "Four Leaves Collection".
Seeing that Oda Takikage was indifferent, Ji Minghuan turned his head and looked at Ayase Origami expressionlessly. He said seriously:
"Not only is it panting, the kitten is going to run away from home."
After a pause, he added: "I'd better follow the old lady who pursues love for a long time."
Ayase Origami raised her eyes from the haiku book and stared at Ji Minghuan motionlessly, just looking at him for a while.
Her eyes were indifferent and empty, like the eerie feeling of a Japanese doll placed on a shelf at night, but Ji Minghuan was unmoved and stared at her quietly.
After a moment, Ayase Origami looked down at the haiku book, and said to Oda Takikage without raising her head:
"Takiying, be a cat toy for a moment."
Although it was clearly a sentence with ambiguous meaning, Oda Takikage immediately understood what Miss Ayase meant. Without hesitating for even half a second, he slowly put the newspaper on the table.
"Okay, miss." He responded in a flat tone.
"It's not appropriate to do it here. We can find a remote and unmanned building nearby."
Ji Minghuan said this without even turning his head, and walked out of the quiet cafe first. The bright sunshine hit him in the face, carrying with it the summer heat, making him feel dazed for a moment.
Ten minutes later.
Ji Minghuan and Ayase Origami came to the vicinity of Tokyo Bay and climbed to the top floor of a building whose construction had been halted due to uncontrollable reasons.
Last night, the legendary Bandage Man fought the Horrible Clock Tower Man for 300 rounds here. So you can see that the already messy abandoned building is even worse, with terrifying pits all over the walls.
It must have been a evenly matched battle.
There was also a huge human-shaped hole in it, as if someone had been hammered into the wall like a nail. Just looking at the remains of the building was enough to make people sigh with horror. You don't have to think about how fierce the battle was at that time.
Ayase Origami glanced at these traces but didn't pay much attention to them.
"Where are the others?" Ji Minghuan asked.
Ayase Origami was too lazy to answer and just glanced at the ground not far away.
Then, a puddle-like shadow floated from there, and then a giant shadow slowly emerged from the shadow.
At this time, Oda Takikage had already changed into that set of black masked ninja costume, carrying a sword handle on his back, and his eyes were sharp and cold. Compared with the honest old uncle Coffee, he seemed to be a different person.
"Miss, it seems like someone has fought here." Oda Takikage turned his head and looked around, then spoke.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't affect you."
As she spoke, Ayase Origami raised her hand, and pages of sketchbook paper appeared from the cuffs of her ochre-red kimono. In the blink of an eye, she sealed all the windows to ensure that it would not cause too much noise, but the surroundings suddenly became dark.
In the pitch-dark environment, Ji Minghuan and Oda Takikage looked at each other from dozens of meters apart.
In this abandoned building, a major ethical incident of "father beating his son" happened last night. If this place accidentally turns into a "large-scale cat abuse scene" today, it would be simply horrible.
The fact that two bodies were injured here at the same time fully demonstrates that this is an ominous place and it is not advisable to set foot here again in the future.
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan suddenly turned his head to look at the remaining holes on the wall, then turned back after a moment and met Oda Takikage's gaze.
His expression turned cold, as if he had turned Oda Takie into a ghost bell, turning his grief and anger into fighting spirit.
Move forward.
With the sound of clear footsteps, Tianqu was released from Xia Pingzhou's body.
The black and white halo swirled around him, forming a Möbius strip. The chess shadows on the strip revolved around him like satellites, emitting a faint halo that illuminated the surroundings like fireflies.
At the same time, a perspective like a chess player looking at the chessboard appeared in Ji Minghuan's mind.
The bird's-eye view allowed him to see clearly everything within a radius of thirty-five meters centered on himself - as the spiritual attributes of the No. 2 machine improved, the scope of the "chessboard" seemed to have expanded slightly.
Oda Ryuue remained unmoved, standing quietly like a statue, as if wanting the newcomer to take the lead.
Ji Minghuan stretched out his right arm and touched the chess shadow on the black and white circle.
Then, all the chess pieces were summoned out, standing around him like a legion, and he was the powerful general on the battlefield.
Two cannon chariot chess pieces, three black iron soldiers, a queen colossus, and a king colossus - this is all the combat power that Xia Pingzhou currently possesses.
The three Black Iron soldiers held huge shields and grasped their long swords, forming a mountain of people in front;
Two black iron gun carriages were being loaded with ammunition with a "click-click" sound, and sparks flew from the muzzles;
The King's colossus held high the scepter symbolizing power in the darkness. A layer of black and white light flowed out from the scepter, forming a barrier that covered Xia Pingri.
The stone statue of the queen holds a short dagger in her left hand and a long dagger in her right hand. She stares quietly at Oda Ryuei in the darkness, with faint blue flames burning in her slender eye sockets.
At this moment, Ayase Origami, who was a bystander, suddenly spoke.
"Chess piece." Ayase Origami asked briefly, "Why is it different from last time?"
She could see that compared to the last time she saw Ji Minghuan using his abilities, the scene before her was very different. And these were not subtle, hard-to-detect changes, but things that could be seen at a glance:
First of all, the number of soldier pieces has increased from one to three, and the number of artillery pieces has also increased by one;
The second thing is the appearance. Every Black Iron Soldier is equipped with a huge shield in his left hand.
Before the fight officially started, Ji Minghuan slowly explained to the young lady:
"My Tianqu can be upgraded by killing people. When I went to the amusement park to meet the Bloodline that day, she gave me the nine Kui-level psychics she had captured. So after killing these psychics, my Tianqu evolved."
After a moment of silence, Ayase Origami suddenly said, "Next time, don't look for the old vampire woman. Look for me."
She had a blank expression on her face, emphasizing each word:
"My cat, I keep it."
Hearing this, Ji Minghuan stared at Oda Takikage and called out coldly without even turning his head:
"Meow."
I don’t know if it’s because I read too much “I Am a Cat” written by Natsume Setishi, or because I was beaten stupidly by my old father here last night, but Ji Minghuan found that this time he really wanted to meow from the bottom of his heart.
He thought: Is it really happy to cling to someone powerful? Who would want to bother with Ghost Bell and Blue Arc, the two great natural disasters? Whoever likes can play house with them?
He would be pinned against the wall and beaten by his stupid father at any time, so that he could experience the iron fist from his father, as if making up for the fatherly love he had missed in the past eight years.
What a pity!
It's really not as good as being the pet cat of a gangster lady who kills people without blinking an eye.
Of course...in another month, this little kitten will turn into a big tiger.
"Be good, little cat." said Ayase Origami.
At this moment, Oda Takikage in the distance did not speak.
It was also the first time he saw Xia Pingzhou's Tianqu. When he saw the series of giant statues surrounding him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and his face unconsciously became solemn.
After a while, Oda Takikage said with emotion: "I see... Such a special Sky Drive mechanism, and it is also a rare evolved Sky Drive, just like Miss Ripper, no wonder... The captain let you join the brigade."
Before this, he seemed to have always looked down on this kid, thinking that the aura he exuded was completely different from that of the other people in the brigade, like a kitten mixed in with a group of lions.
But now he found out that he was wrong...
Maybe this guy is a complete monster.
Oda Takikage said deeply: "If you were not a member of the brigade, based on my personal experience, I might consider strangling you in the cradle to prevent you from growing up and posing a threat to the young lady."
"That's a pity." Ji Minghuan had a blank expression on his face. "Team members are forbidden from killing each other, but of course there shouldn't be any problem with a sparring match like this."
He knew in his heart that Ayase Origami was there to act as a referee, and if necessary, the Kimono lady would use her special powers to prevent the two from fighting and endangering their lives.
It's impossible for a referee of quasi-catastrophe level to accidentally watch his kitten being beheaded by a ninja, right?
Therefore, Ji Minghuan can fight Oda Takikage with confidence without worrying about violating the group rules.
"Indeed...I am glad that such a young man with great potential is one of our members."
After a pause, Oda Takikage slowly drew out his long sword from behind his back and met Xia Pingzhou's gaze: "No. 12, you want to know how strong your Sky Drive is after its evolution, so you are so eager to spar with me, right?"
"right."
"Then I... am honored to be your opponent."
The moment the words fell, Oda Takikage's figure hid in the shadows under his feet and disappeared in an instant.
