Chapter 190 The Choice of Three People, Confrontation in the Bar (asking for monthly ticket)
Inside the underground bar.
Snow-white paper butterflies fluttered in the air, flapping their wings in unison. The frequency of their wings resonated, and the "swish" sound enveloped all directions for a moment.
Ji Minghuan lowered his head, holding Kong Youling tightly in his arms, his eyes fixed on Ayase Origami and the Ripper.
At this moment, Kong Youling broke free from his arms like a kitten, and nimbly and lightly got out of his arms. A strand of snow-white hair scratched his cheek lightly, and then slid across his arm.
Ji Minghuan was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted, raised his head and said in a low voice:
"Kong Youling!"
The white-haired girl raised her arms and protected him in front of her.
She raised her eyelids tremblingly, her photophobic red eyes shining brightly in the darkness as she looked directly into Ayase Origami's eyes.
Ji Minghuan half-knelt on the ground with a pale face, looking at the white-haired girl's back through the flying paper curtain, then raised his head and met the eyes of the girl in kimono.
The Ripper remained calm.
She placed the dark red giant sickle on his neck, and with her other hand she took out a small knife, and quickly put it on Kong Youling's back, piercing a corner of the hospital gown. The blade was only one centimeter away from her skin.
"Don't push your luck," the Ripper lowered his voice, "I don't usually kill children unless it's necessary."
"Jack...let him go." After a long silence, the girl in kimono suddenly said.
"Why?" asked the Ripper.
"Let's take them away first."
The Ripper was silent for a moment, "Miss, first you had a cat, and now you have two children?"
"I have something to ask him." Ayase Origami said.
For some reason, the kimono girl's dark eyes were always fixed on Ji Minghuan's face.
The Ripper shook his head. "No, these two kids look strange...if we let them go, something might happen. Don't order me around based on your own inexplicable judgment. This isn't the first time."
Ayase Origami remained silent.
At this moment, in another corner of the underground bar, Black Pupa wrapped himself in transparent restraints like a pupa, quietly hanging upside down under the ceiling.
The restraints in a static state blocked all smells for him, and his senses were fully exposed, like an insect-proof net covering the dim underground bar, allowing him to see all the details, even a small insect crawling on the entrance corridor.
At this moment, the black pupa seemed to be peeping at the scene in the bar from an alien space.
Under the mask, his pupils dilated, like a wild animal out of control. Silently, the cold restraints spread over his body like a tidal wave, tightly wrapping around every inch of his skin, almost strangling him to death in his cocoon.
The young man in hospital gown in the distance lowered his head, his eyes shaded by his hair, his thoughts in a mess.
"I have to let Black Pupa take her away... As long as she is taken away now... No, we can't do this. The people from the Savior Society are hiding nearby and observing. We must not expose Black Pupa at this time, otherwise it will play into their hands."
"Dinosaur? No, I can't let my sister die there. I have to use the Queen's stone statue to save her... Xizel is awake, don't worry about him, I'll pretend to be asleep and let him and Li Qingping continue training... It's too late to save the king or the original body... The shadow demon has been used, so we must use the copy demon now... Kong Youling... Kong Youling, Sun Changkong, the Monkey King?"
"Sun Changkong seems to have gone berserk. He will die... All the people in the train group will die. They are already dead... Kong Youling, I want to take Kong Youling away... I can't let her stay here... No, she can't be exposed here... If she gets hurt, I will kill everyone here... all of them."
At this moment, movie screens suddenly appeared in the tavern.
Ayase Origami and Ripper were startled for a moment, then reacted at the same time.
The girl in kimono looked back and raised her sleeves. A paper butterfly flew forward and surrounded a figure in a flash. It was Su Zimai who had just emerged from the curtain.
Su Zimai looked up and was stunned on the spot. Paper butterflies flew towards her like a heavy snowfall, surrounding her body, as if they were ready to devour her at any time.
She was stunned for a long time before she slowly reacted and frowned tightly. She had seen the destructive power of these paper butterflies at the auction, so she naturally did not dare to act rashly.
The Ripper looked at Su Zimai who was surrounded by paper butterflies, then turned his head to look at Ke Qirui.
"I advise you not to move," she said, "otherwise... my companions will cut this little girl in two."
However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded from the other corner of the bar.
"Let her go, your people are here with me..." Xu Sanyan said, raising the dark red umbrella with a gloomy look and pointing the tip of the umbrella at the back of Xia Pingzhou's head.
Ayase Origami looked in the direction of the voice, and with her empty and cold eyes, she glanced around and saw Xia Pingzhou who was safe and sound.
She was slightly startled.
In silence, the girl in kimono looked at him with wide eyes, her pale lips slightly parted but she said nothing.
"Wow, newcomer... I thought you were dead." The Ripper said sarcastically to Xia Pingzhou.
"If he's not dead yet, he'll be dead soon."
Xia Pingzhou said this expressionlessly, raising his hands in surrender.
Before this, his life-saving tricks were either used on the red traffic light or on Mario. In other words, if Xu Sanyan pulled the trigger at this time, he would be dead.
No one could save him from being shot at such close range.
The Ripper watched this scene and still did not let his sickle move away from Ji Minghuan's neck. At the same time, his other hand held the knife tightly against Kong Youling's back.
From her personal intuition, these two children are more dangerous than the four people of the Ghost Train Group. Even if the people of the Ghost Train Group show up, it is not worth it for her to let go of these two children.
"Don't move..." The Ripper warned Ji Minghuan, "Don't think you can escape in the chaos."
The young man in the hospital gown raised his empty eyes, looked at Kong Youling's back, then slowly looked up into the eyes of Jack the Ripper.
He spoke each word with emphasis: "If you dare to hurt Kong Youling, you will all die."
The kimono girl looked coldly at Xia Pingzhou who had a calm expression, then turned her head to look at Xu Sanyan's face.
She lowered her voice and said, "If Xia Pingzhou gets hurt, I will... kill all of you."
Seeing the scene so chaotic, even Ke Qirui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows for a moment.
She looked at Ayase Origami quietly from under her hat brim. After a long silence, she said in a deep voice:
"Xu Sanyan, don't shoot."
"Tsk..." Xu Sanyan's face twitched slightly.
He didn't expect that he had just gotten rid of the three monsters of unknown origin in the game world, but when he returned to the real world, he was surrounded by two monsters from the brigade. If he had known earlier, he should have listened to that black bug and not gotten involved in this mess.
"Give him... back to me." said the girl in kimono, her voice full of coldness.
"Calm down. A conflict here will do no good to either you or me. We can choose to exchange hostages."
Ke Qirui spoke slowly, glancing at the Ripper and the two children in hospital gowns out of the corner of his eye.
She thought to herself: I wonder what abilities the two kids in hospital gowns who were left behind have. Fortunately, the people from the brigade came and subdued them. In this way, even if the three monsters in the game world run out, Xia Pingzhou should have room to negotiate with them.
Thinking of this, she continued, "I will return Xia Pingzhou to you, and you will return this little girl to us. Is that okay?"
Ayase Origami looked up at her, then silently stepped into the center of the paper butterflies, strangled Su Zimai's throat with her arms, and whispered in her ear:
"Go forward..."
Hearing this, Su Zimai took a deep breath, took a step forward, and followed Ayase Origami's steps forward.
On the other side, Xu Sanyan also used the tip of the umbrella to press against Xia Pingzhou's back, forcing him to move forward.
Su Zimai and Xia Pingzhou gradually get closer.
In the dead silence, the two quietly exchanged glances, then quickly looked away.
"Pull away your paper butterflies first," Ke Qirui paused, "or I'll have my men shoot."
The girl in kimono gave her a lukewarm look, then chose to do as she was told.
The paper butterfly flapped its wings and flew away from Su Zimai, but Ayase Origami still had her arms around her throat, ready to cut it off at any time.
"Sanyan, move the gun away." Ke Qirui lowered the brim of his hat and said in a low voice.
Xu Sanyan hesitated for a moment, but finally did as he was told and retracted the tip of the umbrella that was against Xia Pingzhou's back.
Seeing this, Ayase Origami slowly loosened her arms that were strangling Su Zimai.
At this moment, except for Xia Pingzhou and Su Zimai, everyone else present remained motionless.
They all knew that if they took action at this time, it would mean a fight to the death, so they silently abided by the same rules.
Under everyone's gaze, the two walked forward, passed each other, and returned to each other's camps.
The next moment, movie screens suddenly formed inside the tavern. Ke Qirui put his arm around Su Zimai's shoulders, put the hat on her head, and then used the movie demon to take away all the members of the Ghost Train Group and the red street lights on the ground.
The Ripper had no intention of attacking them because that would mean she would have to let down her guard against the two kids in hospital gowns.
Again, she felt that the two children were more dangerous than the people in the train group, and even if she let them go, she could not let the two children go.
As for Ayase Origami, since Xia Pingzhou had returned, she had no intention of pursuing him any further. She just grabbed his sleeve, lowered her eyes and raised them again to confirm whether he was injured.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Xia Pingzhou said in a low voice.
The girl in kimono didn't say anything. When she looked up at him, there seemed to be a hint of anger in her empty eyes.
She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, wanted to express her anger with her expression, but in the end she just frowned slightly, and soon her brows relaxed again, revealing a confused look.
"I'm glad you're okay." She said softly.
The paper butterflies above his head fluttered down and turned into pure white fragments that blended into the dirty blood.
The girl in white, like a doll, stood in the chaos.
She gently leaned her head on Xia Pingzhou's shoulder, closed her eyes and remained silent for a second.
As the black and white movie screens disappeared, the entire underground bar suddenly became empty and no longer seemed so cramped.
At this time, there were only five people left in the bar: Ji Minghuan, Kong Youling, Xia Pingzhou, Ayase Origami, and The Ripper.
The Ripper tilted his head and looked at Xia Pingzhou expressionlessly: "Remember to explain it clearly when you go back."
"I think you should blame the hackers for this. Compared to this..." Xia Pingzhou turned his head and looked at Ji Minghuan, "The matter has not been resolved yet."
Ji Minghuan raised his eyes from under his forehead and looked at him coldly, and their gazes met.
"What do you mean?" asked the Ripper.
Xia Pingzhou turned his eyes away from Ji Minghuan's face and explained expressionlessly: "It's too late to leave now. Don't let them run away. They are the bargaining chip."
As soon as the words fell, a game prompt box suddenly appeared in the air.
["Administrator" Mario has been forced to log out of the game, and the game scene "Jurassic World" has ended. 】
Ayase Origami and Ripper saw this scene, looked at each other, and became alert.
Xia Pingzhou turned his head and glanced at a pixelated door that was open behind him. He saw a white cloud floating out of it, with three children in hospital gowns sitting on the cloud.
