Chapter 175 Lion and Cat, Mario (asking for monthly ticket)
After Black Pupa met with the leader of the White Crow Brigade on the rooftop of the middle school, his "restraint belt incarnation" turned into a cloud of burning steam and dissipated towards the city with the wind.
At the same time, Guyimai residential area.
Unit No. 1 Gu Wenyu suddenly opened his eyes while lying on the bed, and then a red and black prompt box appeared in his pupils.
[Hint: Your "restraint belt incarnation" has died. ]
[After a 12-hour cooldown period, you can release the "Restraint Belt Avatar" again. ]
Gu Wenyu closed the panel, put his arms behind his head, turned his head, and stared at the billboard outside the window in a daze:
"It's going pretty smoothly. The leader will most likely take the team to Norway and wait for the legendary whale to land there. As long as they can enter the box garden, Xizel and Li Qingping will have a chance to survive."
"Then... the most urgent matter is the Savior Society. Tomorrow morning I have to go to London with my sister and the others, and then compete with the Savior Society in speed to see which side catches the red light first."
Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes and synchronized his consciousness with the No. 2 machine.
At the same time, Venice, Marco Polo International Airport.
It is still five o'clock in the afternoon here and it is almost dark. The afterglow of the setting sun is like a yellow bus, sliding down the blood-red slope and pressing heavily on people's cheeks.
Natsuhira Hiru, wearing human face masks, and Ayase Origami walked side by side through the long airport corridor.
Jack the Ripper followed behind them, playing "Ninja Watermelon Slicer" on his phone without even looking up.
I don’t know what her obsession with cutting watermelons is. Maybe she is addicted to cutting people and is looking for a substitute. Anyway, Xia Pingzhou gets annoyed when she hears the “swish swish” sound coming from her cell phone.
The three boarded the plane's first-class cabin. The hacker had modified the plane's status so that other guests could not reserve the cabin, so they were the only ones visible in the entire first-class cabin.
It has to be said that Xia Pingzhou feels that the only benefit of joining the brigade is having an extra electronic pet that can help him arrange his itinerary and provide information anytime and anywhere.
The disadvantage is that as long as there are electronic devices around you, you will be monitored by him 24 hours a day.
However, after all, Xia Pingzhou is still in the dangerous observation period, and the team leader's suspicion of him has not been completely lifted, so there is nothing wrong with being monitored by hackers.
There was a violent turbulence, and the plane took off with the rumbling sound of the engine. The destination of this plane was London, England. It only took two hours to fly from Venice to London.
Xia Pingzhou raised his head and looked at the clear sky outside the window, then looked at the girl in kimono who was looking down at a haiku collection.
"Come to think of it...you like haiku very much?" he asked.
"This is all my mother left me," she said softly.
Xia Pingzhou was silent for a while: "Have you been to London?"
"No. What about you?"
“It’s my first time in a place like that, too.”
Xia Pingzhou lowered his eyes and suddenly thought of Kong Youling. When they were in the welfare home, the two of them lay in the corner of the library, head to head, flipping through a travel magazine on the floor, and screaming at the Big Ben and the Thames in London.
Kong Youling said that the world outside is so big. He said, yes, I will take you out to see it in the future, and we will write "Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling visited here" everywhere.
"But...will I get scolded?" Kong Youling asked, holding up the notebook.
"Then we'll run away," Ji Minghuan said proudly. "We'll run to the North Pole, then ride on polar bears all the way to the South Pole, catch a large number of penguins, tie them together, and ride on their backs to travel around the Pacific Ocean."
“Can penguins be used as boats?”
"Didn't that pirate cartoon say that penguins are the most durable ships?"
"So cool... I want to ride on the penguin boat!" Kong Youling's eyes lit up and he wrote on the notebook, as if he had no doubts about Captain Ji Minghuan's plan.
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted Xia Pingzhou's thoughts.
"London...is there a Sherlock Holmes?" Ayase Origami thought for a moment and asked. It seemed that when it came to Britain, this girl who lacked common sense only knew the name Sherlock Holmes.
"I don't know. Since there is a modern version of 'Jack the Ripper', it shouldn't be surprising that there is a modern version of Sherlock Holmes in London, right?" Xia Pingzhou said lightly.
"What happened to you, the modern version of 'Jack the Ripper'?" A cold questioning voice came from behind.
"Not much," Xia Pingzhou replied, "I'm talking to the young lady, please don't interrupt."
Ayase Origami closed the haiku collection and said, "Then... could Sherlock Holmes be a supernatural being?"
"I feel like... he should be an exorcist."
"Why not a mutant?"
"His Sky Drive could be a pipe or something, very fashionable." Xia Pingzhou said expressionlessly, "If he is a superpower, then it is hard for me to imagine what his ability is. And if a detective has to rely on superpowers to solve a case, that's too lame."
"oh."
Ayase Origami suddenly stopped talking.
In fact, Xia Pingzhou really wanted to tell her that it was okay not to find topics if she didn’t know how to find them. She always looked like she was racking her brains when she took the initiative to talk to people. Perhaps there would always be a sad barrier between puppets and humans. Fortunately, his character was a robot.
The cabin was quiet. Xia Pingzhou turned his head and stared at the sea of clouds outside the window in a daze.
He kept rehearsing the same scene in his mind: If he saw Kong Youling in a hospital gown on the streets of London tomorrow, would he really be able to calm down? It has come to this point, and one wrong step will lead to failure.
The girl in kimono suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"What?"
Xia Pingzhou was stunned and turned to meet her gaze.
"Since yesterday, you've made me feel..." she said, "like you're worried."
"Really?" said the Ripper who was sitting in the back seat. "He just has a blank expression. How can he look like he has a lot on his mind?"
"I second the motion." Xia Pingzhou said.
Ayase Origami lowered her eyes and stared at the words on the haiku collection for a while, "Is that so?"
Xia Pingzhou was silent for a while: "Sometimes I wonder if I were just a cat. Cats are only responsible for taking naps and acting like a spoiled child, not for having a lot on their mind."
"You're not a cat?" Ayase Origami asked.
"Only in front of you."
"I've seen it while taking a nap, let's see if I can act coquettishly."
At this moment, the Ripper kicked the seats of the two people hard, and a lukewarm voice came from the seat behind: "You are so unscrupulous, do you want me to cut off your fingers and use them as mice to play games? I don't mind doing that."
"Gomenasse." "Smith Marseille."
The two apologized expressionlessly, with no change in their tone.
Xia Pingzhou looked out the window and thought: The Ripper is the strongest fighting force in the entire brigade. I bring her along in the hope that she can be useful on this trip to London, but the problem is... how can I contact the red light without arousing suspicion from them and the hacker?
"Using Unit 1's information gathering capabilities to create a chance encounter?"
He shook his head and collected his messy thoughts.
"Speaking of which..." Xia Pingzhou suddenly said.
"What?" The girl in kimono turned to look at him.
"I've been your cat for so long, you can be my cat sometime. That's only fair." Xia Pingzhou turned his head and looked at Ayase Origami seriously.
She was stunned for a moment.
"...Kitten, rebelled."
"Be careful, the kitten may suddenly turn into a lion. I will bite you."
"One day," Ayase Origami said, continuing to read with her head down, "when you become stronger than me."
"Really? Then won't you have to call me master?" Xia Pingzhou said nonchalantly.
Ayase Origami didn't say anything, but just formed a small palm with the paper and gently scratched his cheek.
The plane flew through the sea of clouds, and the cabin was still shaking slightly. Looking at the white and silent kimono girl beside him, Xia Pingzhou always felt that he seemed to be infected by that doll-like attitude, and his originally anxious mood was calmed down.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep unknowingly, with his head resting on her shoulder.
"Restricted-level psychic, number 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', quickly get up and get ready, the instructor has something to say."
He didn't know how much time had passed before a cold voice pulled him out of his sleep.
Ji Minghuan opened his eyes groggily, scratched the collar around his neck, slowly stood up, and stared blankly at the penguin broadcast on the ceiling.
Soon, the metal door opened and the instructor walked in: "Ji Minghuan, are you ready?"
"What preparations?"
"Prepare to go out on a mission. When you wake up, you will find yourself in London."
"So soon, by plane?"
"You'll know then."
"Alright." Ji Minghuan rubbed his eyes, got off the bed, and walked to the table. "Then why are you looking for me now? You might as well be quick and bring us to London together."
"Let me introduce you to Mario first, so that you can take care of each other."
"Mario, is that SkyDrive the kid from the 'game console'?" Ji Minghuan pulled a chair and sat down.
"Um."
Ji Minghuan held his cheek, yawned, and murmured, "You're not going to give us an anesthetic first, let us sleep, and then let Mario load a 'London' scene on the game console, and when we wake up, you're going to lie to us that it's the real London, right?"
"You are quite imaginative," the instructor said with his hands behind his back, smiling slightly, "Anyway, he is here, let's get along with him."
After saying this, he walked out of the cell without looking back, his back disappearing into the blazing white light curtain.
Ji Minghuan tilted his head and silently stared at the entrance of the prison cell out of the corner of his eye, wondering what kind of monster would come this time.
Soon, a blond, blue-eyed boy walked in through the dazzling light curtain with dejected steps. Mario hung his head, holding a PSP game console in both hands, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for ten days and ten nights.
Ji Minghuan raised his eyes, looked at him curiously, and then said aggressively:
"You're the only one named Mario? Have you paid the copyright fee to Nintendo for this name?"
