Chapter 183 The rescue team arrives in London (Thanks to the leader "Keyboard Master" for the reward)
[Black Pupa: Okay, Ms. Ke, I will help investigate the underground bars in Westminster. Once we find any traces of "Red Light", we will report to each other.]
Just as Hei Pupa sent the message, his right hand holding the phone suddenly paused.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from the perspective of the original body in my mind. The original body's hearing was restored, and the faint sound of water and snoring came into my ears.
Black Pupa raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Has the effect of the drug on me ended? Although my eyelids are still a little hard to open, judging from the movements around me, I should be on a ship..."
He looked up, hanging upside down, at the Thames in London.
At this moment, there was indeed a small cargo ship above the Thames, pushing away the white waves and slowly drifting from the distance.
"It looks like my real body is on this ship. It looks like the Savior Society is about to take action as well."
Thinking of this, the black pupa quickly synchronized its consciousness with the original body.
At the same time, in the cabin of the cargo ship in the distance.
Ji Minghuan slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling.
He felt beneath him and found himself lying on the soft floor.
After a moment's pause, he slowly turned his head and looked around. Through the cabin window, he could see the Thames River glittering in the sun. The cargo ship was moving on the river, and the cabin was rocking like a cradle, with the wooden floor creaking.
Looking away from the window, Ji Minghuan fixed his gaze on the interior of the cabin. Lying on the ground around them were four other children from the Salvation Society.
Among the four, only Mario was awake, while the others were still sleeping soundly on their beds on the floor.
Mario sat down against the wall, silently playing with the PSP in his hand. The dark circles under his eyes were still very heavy, and it seemed that even if he was injected with sedatives, he would not be able to sleep.
"Where is this?" Ji Minghuan lifted the quilt and sat up.
"London."
"Were we sedated last night?"
"Probably." said Mario.
Ji Minghuan subconsciously touched the collar around his neck, and the indicator light was still "blue", which meant that he was still in the state of "superpowers not yet awakened".
He breathed a sigh of relief and pushed Kong Youling's shoulder beside him: "Comrade Penguin, get up."
Kong Youling slowly opened her eyelids, rubbed her white eyelashes, raised her head and looked around, slightly stunned.
Ji Minghuan said to her silently through lip language: "We are in London."
After saying this, he and Kong Youling looked out the cabin window together. The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the Thames into the dim cabin, illuminating their faces. Kong Youling stared blankly at the sun on the horizon with his light-fearing eyes wide open.
The faces of the two were shrouded in a warm halo, as if a groundhog that had lived underground for a hundred years had finally poked its head out and seen the light of day again.
The white-haired girl was in a daze for a long time before she turned her head to look at Ji Minghuan's face. He was staring at her.
"It's been a while since you last saw the sun, right?" Ji Minghuan touched her head and asked silently.
"Um."
She nodded vigorously, then picked up the notebook and pencil beside the pillow and wrote in the notebook for him to see:
"The sun is so beautiful."
Seeing this, Ji Minghuan ruffled her hair vigorously, and then said lightly: "Are you stupid? The sun is something you can see every day, but only you feel that..." He was suddenly stunned, "Ah... why are you crying?"
Kong Youling was slightly stunned, and then she realized that tears were constantly squeezing out of her eye sockets and slowly sliding down her pale cheeks.
"Well... the sun is beautiful." Ji Minghuan shrugged, then raised his eyes and looked at the sun in London with her, "But we will have plenty of opportunities to see more scenery in the future. It's just the sun... Don't cry."
As he spoke, his eyes started to turn red for some reason, "Oh no... It's really embarrassing for a blackened elementary school student. What's going on with this broken eye? There must be sand in it." At this point, he rubbed his eyes hard, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
The two children put their heads together and looked across the 325-meter-long Millennium Bridge. The sun on the horizon was blurred by tears.
After a while, Ji Minghuan suddenly raised his hand, wiped the tears from Kong Youling's face, then turned his head, held her face, and squeezed her pale cheeks to make them round.
"I told you not to cry... We'll be going to many places in the future." He stared into her eyes, "Don't think that just basking in the sun is good enough to make you cry. Absolutely not."
In the sunlight, Kong Youling's lips curled up slightly and she smiled at him, her eyelids wet with tears trembling like bird feathers.
"I don't want to disturb you, but we have to wake up the others. We are not here to enjoy the scenery," Mario paused, "We are here to carry out a mission."
"Shut up."
"Oh." Mario shrugged.
"Can't you scream? Or do you have no mouth?" Ji Minghuan let go of Kong Youling's cheek and looked up at Mario with an unhappy face, "You were obviously the first one among us to wake up."
"I don't know them well." Mario said expressionlessly, "If it weren't for the mission, I wouldn't be staying with you guys."
Mission... Kong Youling looked at Mario's lips and remembered that they were here to carry out a mission. So he put his hand on his chin and thought for a while, then wrote on the notebook for Ji Minghuan to see:
"Mission, what do we have to do?"
"It has nothing to do with us," Ji Minghuan said confidently, "It doesn't matter, Big Sister and Big Dog will handle it. If it doesn't work, there's still this handheld kid."
He lowered his head and saw that Kong Youling's collar was emitting a "green" indicator light, which meant that the Savior Society had not unlocked her ability to use her supernatural powers.
It seems that the Savior Society had no intention of letting the two of them take action from the beginning.
"Are they okay?" Kong Youling asked.
"It looks like there's nothing wrong, except that the sleeping position needs to be improved." As he said that, Ji Minghuan sat on the ground and glanced leisurely at Firio and Sun Changkong.
I saw the two of them sleeping like pigs, snoring very loudly.
Ji Minghuan stood up, walked over quickly, and pushed Sun Changkong hard: "Big Sister! Big Sister! Wake up! The base is on fire!"
"It's too noisy, too noisy... Penguin monster, take this stick from me..."
Sun Changkong smacked his lips, turned over and kicked away the quilt, his long dark red hair scattered messily on the pillow.
"It's time to wake up, big sister!" Ji Minghuan shouted in her ear.
Sun Changkong suddenly woke up from his dream, stood up from the bed with his red eyes wide open, and stared blankly out the window.
She murmured, "This is..."
“This is London.”
Ji Minghuan said softly, and then he leaned over and gently pushed Firio to wake him up: "Wake up, big dog, today I have to rely on you to bite that traffic light to death."
Firion groaned, woke up, rubbed his eyes, and his wolf ears and tail drooped.
"Ji Minghuan, have we arrived in London?" he asked, yawning.
"Here we are."
"Wow! Why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's so embarrassing!" Sun Changkong's ears turned red when he saw the saliva on the pillow. He scratched his ruffled red hair and showed his little fangs angrily.
"Who told you to sleep so hard that your nose was running? It's impossible to wake you up, okay?" Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes at her.
Kong Youling sat on the ground, looked at the few people and smiled softly.
"Oh, by the way, hurry up before the boat reaches the shore!" Ji Minghuan said, squatting beside Kong Youling who looked puzzled, snatched the pencil from her hand, and then wrote a line of words on the wall of the cabin.
Kong Youling looked up and saw what was written on the wall: "Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling visited here."
After finishing writing, Ji Minghuan turned his head and met Kong Youling's gaze: "Okay, this is the first stop."
Kong Youling clapped his hands and said silently, "First stop!"
Sun Changkong stared at the two names on the wall, raised his fiery red eyebrows, and then moved closer.
“I want to write too!” she said.
Ji Minghuan looked at her: "Can you write?"
Sun Changkong was stunned: "I... I don't know how to write it. Ji Minghuan, can you help me write it?"
"What are you doing?" Firion came over sleepily, rubbing his eyes, his wolf tail dragging on the ground, and his hospital gown was a little loose.
Ji Minghuan curled his lips and silently added the names of Sun Changkong and Firio next to the previous line of words.
"Are you satisfied with this?" he asked.
Sun Changkong put his hands on his hips and snorted, "Only the cat Leo has no name."
Mario said dismissively: "Boring."
At this time, a voice came from the collars of several people at the same time: "In three minutes, the cargo ship will be close to the Westminster area. Look at this map, the place marked with a red dot is the underground bar. The bar is called 'Garden of Eden', and your mission target 'Red Light' is there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the metal collar on Ji Minghuan's neck suddenly emitted a beam of light forward, projecting a map on the wall.
The children nearby were all amazed and looked at the projected map together.
"Hey, why do I look like a projector?" Ji Minghuan muttered, his face darkened, and he looked up at the map.
His mind moved slightly: "This location is the underground bar in the east of Westminster... It is near Xia Pingzhou's hotel."
At this moment, he synchronized his consciousness with the black pupa of Unit No. 1.
The black pupa hanging upside down under the Parliament Building suddenly opened his eyes, took out the mobile phone wrapped in the restraints, and looked at the received message.
[Ke Qirui: "Yan Gui" will complete the gang's drug deal within the next hour, and he is the hunting target of "Red Street Light". ]
[Ke Qirui: We must find him in three underground bars. The "Red Light" must be hiding next to him, waiting for an opportunity. For safety reasons, the four of us will act together, so we can't search for him separately.]
[Ke Qirui: With Mr. Black Pupa's ability, it shouldn't be difficult for him to help us investigate the other two underground pubs, right?]
Black Pupa raised his hand to type and clicked send.
[Black Pupa: No need to look for it.]
Soon, the other party replied to his message.
【Ke Qirui: Could it be that you have found it? 】
[Black Pupa: That's right, the red light is in the "Eden" bar on the east side of Westminster. You have to act quickly, because you don't have much time left.]
After sending this message, Black Pupa wrapped the phone in the restraints.
This body can only stay on the top of the tower to observe the situation and cannot participate in the action.
First, it was possible that the Salvation Society would find out; second, if hackers knew that there was a cooperative relationship between Xia Pingzhou and Hei Pupa, there would be a great risk that Xia Pingzhou would be suspected.
Thinking of this, Hei Pupa closed his eyes and switched his consciousness to the perspective of the second machine, Xia Pingzhou.
Xia Pingzhu glanced at Ayase Origami who was still sleeping, quickly got up and put on his coat, simply washed his face and put on a human face mask, then quickly left the hotel.
He walked down the street, pulled out his phone and sent a message to the hacker.
[Xia Pingzhou: I'm in a bad mood and want to drink some wine. Please help me find a place. It's better to have a hidden underground bar where it's not easy to get into trouble.]
[Hacker: Get lost, do you really think of me as your Tamagotchi? ]
【Xia Pingzhou: Add money.】
[Hacker: The bar closest to you is called "Garden of Eden", let me take a look. ]
[Hacker: Go forward, cross two streets, and then turn into the second alley on the right. No code is needed, but I heard that gangsters usually trade there, so you might run into some danger.]
[Xia Pingzhou: What's the danger? I can't go in to have a drink and get beaten up, right?]
[Hacker: Who knows? I'm busy playing games, I don't have time to bother with you, I'm logged off.]
Xia Pingzhou silently put away his phone, opened the map, and followed the route he remembered.
Not long after, Xia Pingzhou, wearing a human skin mask on his face, walked into an alley, went down a staircase, and entered the interior of the "Garden of Eden" underground bar unimpeded.
A piece of jazz music was playing in the bar, which was full of lights and nightlife. There were not many customers in the bar, and the bartender was wiping glasses behind the counter. The TV hanging from the ceiling was showing horse racing, and the audience's excited shouts could be heard from it.
The surroundings were relatively quiet, with no unusual noises. However, just as Xia Pingzhou was about to go deeper into the bar, he heard a roar coming from the front, followed by the sounds of breaking glass and tables being smashed.
He was stunned for a moment and looked up, and what caught his eye was a short-haired man holding a lamp pole in his hand.
The short-haired man was wearing a black jacket and black trousers. His muscles were in a highly expanded state. The sleeves of his arms were torn, and the veins were throbbing, clinging to the knotted arm muscles like snakes.
His eyes were red, his face was ferocious, and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth.
If these features alone are not enough to identify the other party's identity, then when seeing the lamp pole the man is holding, anyone can tell that this is the notorious serial killer "Red Light".
The madman who slaughtered dozens of exorcists in a few years.
At the same time, he is also Xia Pingzhou’s former close friend - "Shi Yimin".
At this moment, under the red street light's leather shoes was stepping on a disgusting corpse.
The head of the corpse had turned into a pool of blood splattering on the ground, and a waterfall-like mark was drawn on the side of the neck. I'm afraid there was not even any bone left, as it was smashed by the stick. His torso was torn off and fell to the wall.
Xia Pingzhou looked up at the red traffic light, then lowered his head to send him a message on his mobile phone in order to avoid arousing the hacker's suspicion.
[Xia Pingzhou: What's going on? You really know how to pick a place for me.]
[Hacker: Do not disturb me during the game (automatic reply)]
The bar's guests and staff fled in all directions amid screams, and only Xia Pingzhou remained standing.
In the midst of the chaos, the red street light stood still. He held the top of the light pole tightly in his right hand, and the lampshade was emitting red, green, and yellow light alternately, making his already ferocious face look as terrifying as a ghost.
The next moment, he roared like a wild beast, crushed the corpse under him with one foot, stomped forward, and rushed towards Xia Pingzhou.
At the same time, Xia Pingzhou released the Sky Drive, and the alternating black and white halos spread outward, forming a ring. Countless chess shadows slowly rotated around his body like satellites.
【Xia Pingzhou: I hate you.】
[Hacker: Do not disturb me during the game (automatic reply)]
After sending the last message, Xia Pingzhou threw his phone on the ground and walked towards the red light.
