Chapter 127 Heavy Rain, Tokyo, Bloody Auction (XI)
On the silent auction stage, Hei Pupa strangled Robert's neck with a restraint belt, hung him upside down under the spotlight, and stared at Qi Yuanli's face motionlessly.
"Black pupa..."
Gui Zhong narrowed his eyes and slowly read out the name of the uninvited guest.
Andrens and the Ripper looked at each other. Neither of them knew Black Pupa, so they looked at the Blood Descendant and Oda Takikage, only to see confusion and surprise in the eyes of the other two members.
No one seems to know where this guy came from.
After a long silence, Qi Yuanli asked Hei Pupa, "What do you want?"
"Finally someone asked about it. Otherwise, it would be so awkward for me to keep posing here." Black Pupa sighed. "Actually, what I want is very simple." He paused. "Tell your team members to let Blue Arc go right now and hand him over to Ghost Bell."
"Impossible." Qi Yuanli replied bluntly.
Black Pupa shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "Really? Then there is no way I can let go of poor Mr. Robert. This hardworking old member certainly didn't expect that he would have to endure such suffering in the end. The captain who loved him so much was planning to give up his life. Even I couldn't help but sigh for him."
He paused for a moment. "Think about it carefully, Captain. Are you really going to give up member No. 7 in exchange for Blue Arc's life? Is this really a good deal for you?"
A brief silence fell between the two of them.
Qi Yuanli thought for a moment, and finally said: "I can agree to your terms, but I have to add one more condition."
"But it's okay."
"You let Ghost Bell leave here first. I'll have my people release Blue Arc, and then you return Robert to us."
"You have so many evil intentions, Mr. Qi Yuanyuan. You also know that once the ghost bell is gone, you monsters will be unbridled." Black Pupa said, "I am afraid that I will be killed by you before I can take Blue Arc away?"
Qi Yuanyuan asked expressionlessly: "So what do you want to do?"
"Let's do this. Let your people stay put first." As he said that, Hei Pupa tied Robert's neck with one hand and fell backwards to the floor of the auction table.
Black Pupa led Robert towards the Ghost Bell, deliberately bypassing several members of the group and keeping a certain distance from them.
"What... do you want to do?" Gui Zhong stared at him and asked in a deep voice.
"Who knows, what do I want to do? What do I want to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Black Pupa used the restraints to steal Robert's superpowers.
[Passive skill "Restraint Suppression" has taken effect: While being bound by your restraint belt, the opponent cannot use any extraordinary abilities. ]
[Active skill "Power Steal" has been activated: Your restraint belt has stolen the power of the power user "Robert", which can be released within 24 hours (after "Release Skill" or "Exceed the time limit", the stored power will automatically disappear). ]
Then, under the gaze of everyone in the audience, the black pupa carried Robert closer to the bell tower of the ghost clock, then raised his hand to touch the wall of the bell tower, and used the stolen supernatural power to create a "wooden door" on the empty wall.
This scene alarmed everyone in the White Crow Brigade - only Gui Zhong did not understand Robert's special ability and thought it was Black Pupa's own ability.
Anluns and the Ripper were stunned, and even Oda Takikage showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Uh...Sister Ripper, didn't I just see that he used Robert's superpowers?" An Lance shrugged and turned to ask the Ripper.
"That should be it..." The Ripper nodded.
The wooden door was reflected in Qi Yuanli's deep pupils. He thought expressionlessly, "Not only can it suppress superpowers... can it also steal superpowers? It would be nice if we met in some other setting."
The Blood Descendant sat at the edge of the auction table, holding his cheek, and said nonchalantly:
"Wow... No wonder the leader wanted to recruit this ugly guy into the brigade. It turns out he has this ability."
The black pupa was leaning against the edge of the bell tower in a very coquettish posture.
Everyone in the auction hall focused their attention on this arrogant psychopath. The team members couldn't understand why this psychopath, who could be killed with a slap, was able to control everyone and dominate the situation... It really is true that if you live long enough, you will see everything.
Black Pupa tapped the bell tower with his fingers and continued, "Then let's continue to sort out the current situation. Ms. Ripper's injuries are almost as serious as Mr. Blue Arc's... If the stalemate continues, I'm afraid both of them will lose their lives."
He paused and said, "So, why don't we each take a step back? I'll let Gui Zhong wait behind the door, and then the other members and the leader will keep their distance, and let Mr. Ninja hand over the Blue Arc to me alone;"
"And I will return Robert to Mr. Ninja, and then I will leave here with Blue Arc and Ghost Bell, and make this door disappear. We owe each other nothing."
After saying that, he swept his eyes over everyone present: "The bastards of the White Crow Brigade... and the respected commander, how do you feel about that?"
Hei Pupa's gaze finally rested on Qi Yuanli. Qi Yuanli's eyes were always so deep, like a black swamp, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.
At this moment, Gui Zhong and Qi Yuanli remained silent, and the other members had no decision-making power. They just waited quietly for the leader to give instructions.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Yuanli spoke up to break the silence.
"Let's do it as you said." He said expressionlessly.
"Okay, then... please go in and wait behind the door, Mr. Ghost Bell." Black Pupa turned his head to look at Ghost Bell, put the restraint belt against his mouth like a trumpet, and whispered to him: "You don't want Mr. Blue Arc to die in front of you, do you?"
Hearing this, Gui Zhong glanced at Lan Hu with a knife on his neck, and his eyes flashed slightly.
Then he silently walked into the door on the side of the clock tower. Behind the door was an open-air cafe. It was raining heavily on the street. Hei Pupa had just stolen this power and obviously didn't know how to use it, so he could only choose a location nearby.
The ghost bell moved a long distance away, standing quietly in the rain. It turned around and stared at the black pupa behind the door with its scarlet eyes.
The black pupa was still leaning with his body tilted, supporting his head with his elbows, leaning coquettishly against the surface of the clock tower.
"Keep the ghost bell away from you," Qi Yuanli requested, "and then exchange hostages."
"Totally." Black Pupa said, motioning to Ghost Bell with his chin, "Move your butt back."
Gui Zhong's face twitched slightly.
Through a portal, he and Black Pupa looked into each other's eyes, their pupils as red as if molten lava was flowing.
"Did you hear that?" Black Pupa spread his hands. "Move your ass back. You're too close to this door, and it will affect the fairness of this transaction. Don't you want me to bring Mr. Blue Arc back?"
The ghost bell was silent for a long time, and finally retreated a distance in the rainy street.
"That's right..." Hei Pu looked at the ghost bell that was soaked by the rain. The ghost bell's eyes seemed to say: If you dare to fool me, I will definitely kill you.
The Ghost Bell had already created a certain distance between itself and the Black Pupa's portal in accordance with the agreement between the two parties, so Oda Takikage tilted his head and made eye contact with Urushihara.
Oda Takikage released the knife that was on Lan Arc's neck, and slowly approached the black pupa with Lan Arc.
"Stop! You can stop here, Mr. Ninja."
Black Pupa shook his finger and warned, "Don't think I don't know how fast you are. If you get one step closer, I will break Robert's neck."
As he spoke, he used the restraints to swing Robert's body back and forth in the air, just like an adult rocking a cradle to coax a baby in it.
"Woohoo, baby Robert is flying high!" Black Pupa put his hands on his hips, "Woohoo...if you get any closer, it won't be baby Robert swinging, but baby Robert's head swinging in the sky. Do you understand, Mr. Ninja?"
The faces of the members of the White Crow Brigade twitched slightly.
At this moment, except for Lan Qi who had fainted, no one at the scene wanted to kill him, especially Gui Zhong who was standing in the rain as punishment.
They all gasped. No one understood why such a despicable person was born in the world. He was so despicable that he deserved to be punished by heaven and earth.
I'm afraid that anyone passing by on the street would not be able to help but kick him in the ass, but this lunatic just twists his butt and makes faces at you, mocking everyone while presiding over the operation of the situation in an orderly manner.
"Takikage... do as he says." Urushihara said expressionlessly.
Oda Takikage nodded, and stopped ten meters in front of the black pupa with the blue arc.
The two looked at each other.
Black Pupa stared into Oda Takikage's eyes, stretched out a restraint belt, slowly reached towards Blue Arc's body, wrapped Blue Arc's waist, and then slowly dragged him over from the ground. Blue Arc's back dragged a terrifying river of blood on the ground.
Then, Black Pupa slowly loosened the restraints around Robert's neck. Robert coughed loudly and was almost suffocated by this lunatic.
Black Pupa pulled Blue Arc back and used the restraints to put Robert on the ground.
The next moment, Oda Takikage suddenly jumped up, stomped his feet and sprinted forward, cutting off the restraints connecting Robert with his sword.
At the same time, Black Pupa pulled Blue Arc into his arms, leaned back, and the door of the clock tower closed in an instant!
Soon after, even the ghost clock tower disappeared in the center of the auction hall, leaving only a deathly silence.
After Black Pupa, Blue Arc, and Ghost Bell left, the air pressure in the entire auction hall seemed to have risen a lot.
The Blood Descendant said with emotion: "What a magical person."
An Lunsi was frowning, but he had a smile on his face: "Next time I see this black pupa, I will definitely put him into a slot machine as a toy."
"Are you okay, Mr. Robert?" Oda Takikage untied the restraints on Robert's mouth and looked at Robert.
“I’m fine…” Robert shrugged, got up from the ground, and said in a hoarse metallic voice: “I’m sorry, Captain. If I had known that the black pupa was hiding in the auction house, I wouldn’t have been caught by him.”
"It doesn't matter."
As he spoke, Qi Yuanli turned his head and looked at the side of the mirror world. "Robert, take the Ripper back to the nearby base to bandage his wounds, then open a door and come back. The other members will follow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he switched places with a crow inside the mirror world. His figure disappeared, and was replaced by a flock of crow feathers falling down.
"Let's go, No. 2." Robert followed the order, opened a wooden door in the wall, and left carrying the seriously injured Ripper.
The other members of the group then stepped onto the auction stage one after another and walked into the wooden door of the mirror world.
At this moment, inside the mirror world.
Hacker No. 8, a member of the team, walked out of the vault of the mirror world empty-handed, stepped onto the auction platform, and when he looked up, he could see the magnificent shadow that almost occupied half of the auction hall in the mirror.
And there are two such shadows in total.
The raging flames and the white light like midnight sun collided in the air. Two huge monsters of unparalleled size fought each other.
"What is that?"
The hacker raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise appeared on his young face, and the phone almost fell out of his palm.
He didn't expect that while he was collecting the auction items in the vault, the auction hall would turn into such a mess. It was like he had traveled to the filming site of a prehistoric blockbuster, with demons and monsters fighting in the air.
Dazzling flames and scorching winds hit me in the face.
At this moment, the Wolf of Daylight and the Red Dragon were still in a stalemate, and the Red Dragon Shadow was still in the upper hand.
But for some reason, Li Qingping never left his place from beginning to end, but just fought back passively - perhaps to protect the second prince.
The sharp claws of the Day Wolf were wrapped in dazzling white light, and collided with the ochre-red flames spewed by the red dragon phantom in mid-air. Amid the deafening explosion, the terrifying air wave stretched for a hundred meters, blowing all the members' clothes and hair high.
The heat generated by the red dragon's wings almost burned through the air, but the white light of the wolf's claws tore a crack in the flames.
But before the crack could expand, the dragon's tail, wrapped in lava-like flames, swept over, knocking the giant wolf back, and its hooves plowed four deep, charred grooves on the mirrored floor.
Each of their collisions tore open dark cracks, spider-web-like lines rapidly spreading in the void. The mirrored sky of the dome was already covered with cracks, and small fragments fell down, and vaporized into pale mist the moment they touched the dragon flames.
The ground of the auction house continued to tremble, and no part of it was intact. Every time a dragon roared or a wolf howled, the mirror fragments hanging on the edge of the crack collapsed.
It was as if the whole world was falling apart beneath their feet.
At this moment, Ayase Origami and Xia Ping Zhou were sitting idly on the floor of the auction table, playing poker with Lan Duoduo.
"Seven of seven." Lan Duoduo threw down two cards and looked up at Xia Pingzhou. "Newbie, you must not cheat me! I heard from An Lunsi that he was cheated by you before and lost the whole night."
"Nine," said Ayase Origami.
"Yes, J." Xia Pingzhou said.
The three men's hair was blown up by the oncoming heat wave, but they continued playing cards without raising their heads.
In fact, it was not that they were lazy. In fact, several of them had tried to launch long-range attacks - but Ayase Origami's paper butterflies could not do anything to the red dragon, Xia Pingzhou's cannon cart statue could only tickle the red dragon, and Lan Duoduo had no useful fragments of strange stories.
At this moment, the only weapons that can be of any use are probably Andrew's sniper rifle and the bloodline's bow and arrow.
The hacker was stunned for a while, and finally came to his senses.
He put his hands in the pockets of his jumpsuit, stepped onto the auction platform, and said to Qi Yuanyuan beside him: "Captain, I have used my supernatural powers to store all the items in the auction into the 'database'."
He paused and said, "You can leave now."
Qi Yuan was silent, his deep pupils reflected Li Qingping in the center of the shadow.
Li Qingping's face was obviously a little pale.
An Luns came over with a bottle of orange juice, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then squinted his remaining eye and looked at the Daytime Wolf whose eyes were filled with white light.
He patted the hacker's head and said with a smile: "That's what I said...but our classmate Bai Tanlang doesn't seem to want to leave."
"That guy always gets hit." The hacker clicked his tongue.
Qi Yuanli looked at Li Qingping and said expressionlessly, "The opponent is carrying a burden, so we must let the Red Dragon Wells stay where he is and cover the burden in the form of a phantom. This way he will not be affected by the battle."
After hearing what the captain said, Lan Duoduo immediately raised his eyes from the playing cards and looked at Bai Tanlang who was getting more and more courageous in the battle. On the other hand, the light of the red dragon's phantom was becoming dim.
She said, "I see. That's why the red dragon never fought back."
"So if this goes on, we will win sooner or later?" asked An Luns.
"It's just a matter of time." Qi Yuanli said.
At this moment, Andrew fired another shot. The deafening sound of the gunshot made the surrounding members cover their ears.
Lan Duoduo rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's no use firing that gun. Why don't you sit down and play poker with us?"
Andrew took his eyes away from the crosshairs of the sniper rifle and sighed: "Oh, can't anyone tell me why this red dragon's skin is so thick? I also want to use more powerful bullets, but I'm worried that Brother Bai will be affected."
"After all, 'Red Dragon Wales' is the generation-level wonder that is closest to a mythical wonder." Lan Duoduo said.
At this moment, Qi Yuanyuan on the auction table suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly.
Following his gaze, one could see a chair standing out of place in the center of the auction hall.
Neither the dragon flame nor the white light shook the chair.
And the most important thing is...
The figure in the chair woke up.
