My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 153 Black Chrysalis: Mom, please hit me one more time (Seeking monthly votes)
The brightly lit trains rumbled past on the overpass, and the evening breeze they stirred up swept slowly across the city.

At this very moment, Black Chrysalis was hanging upside down below a high-altitude work platform, his restraints piercing through the night, allowing him to gaze at the distant high-rise buildings.

On the rooftop of that tall building, a slender figure dressed in a black bodysuit stood with his back against the railing, gazing sideways at the scene above the long street.

Black Chrysalis stared at the figure, recalling the intelligence he had obtained during the Phantom Troupe gathering when he communicated with the hacker through Unit 2.

[Xia Pingzhou: What does the new recruit look like? What abilities does he have, and how strong are they specifically?]

[Hacker: You're so annoying. Is it that you'll only go after any woman?]

[Xia Pingzhou: I'm just curious whether the new members are better or worse than me, otherwise I'll be at the bottom again.]

[Hacker: I don't believe it.]

Xia Pingzhou: I am gay.

【hacker:……】

[Hacker: Su Ying, new member number 4, usually wears a long black coat over a black bodysuit, and glasses. Her age is unknown. I only just learned what she looks like, and her abilities are still unclear.]

[Hacker: She's with the leader in Hongyue Commercial Street in Lijing, supposedly planning to contact Black Chrysalis. After all, Black Chrysalis just had a fight with Silver Swallow there.]

[Xia Pingzhou: Is the black pupa really that important? The commander is paying so much attention to it.]

[Hacker: Who knows... By the way, I can't find out anything about Su Ying's background. She's very strange; I asked the guild leader, but he didn't say anything either.]

Xia Pingzhou: Beware of the mole within.

[Hacker: Relax, I'm the fucking mole assassin.]

[Hacker: Honestly, I haven't found out anything about your background either. Who knows what your origins are? If the leader didn't disregard the members' backgrounds, I'd find you quite suspicious too.]

Xia Pingzhou: Maybe she and I are both moles.

[Hacker: It's okay, I'll keep watching you guys.]

Xia Pingzhou: I'm going to smash my phone right now.

Black Chrysalis stared at the figure in the distance, thinking, "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Su Ying... I've been fishing for her in Hongyue Commercial Street all day, and I've finally found her... But she and the leader are after me. I'm fishing for them, and they're fishing for me too—in this situation, I can only use the restraint belt avatar to make contact with them, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble."

If circumstances allow, his goal is naturally to have the Black Chrysalis capture this new member, and then use the "Binding Band Truth" to interrogate her and force her to tell the truth.

This way, we can find out whether the new group member is a "real mother" or a "fake mother".

If she is the "real mother," then why would she fake her death in the accident five years ago to hide the fact that she is still alive from Gu Zhuo's case and her three children?
If she is a "fake mother," then why does she know Gu Wenyu's mother, and why does she use her mother's name—"Su Ying"—to join the White Crow Brigade?
What is the connection between her and Su Ying, and is this connection related to Su Ying's death?

Of course, the ideal situation is that Su Ying and Gu Wenyu's mother have no relation whatsoever, and it's just a coincidence that they share the same name.

In this way, Black Chrysalis's troubles vanished, and his plan proceeded as usual: relying on Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuo'an's obsession with Rainbow Wing, he would further guide them to get closer to Rainbow Wing and seek information about the Salvation Society for himself.

With that in mind, Black Chrysalis turned on airplane mode on her phone and wrapped it inside the restraint straps.

To prevent the hacker from scanning a wide range of electronic devices and hacking his phone while the restraint avatar was making contact with Su Ying.

After realizing the hacker's capabilities, Black Chrysalis decided that from now on, whether he was letting Unit One contact the Brigade Leader or other members of the Brigade, he would make sure that he was not carrying any smart devices.

Limited by the hacker's capabilities, he had to contact the target face-to-face each time, rather than communicating via text message, to avoid giving the hacker an opportunity to exploit. This prodigy is no slouch when it comes to network technology.

At this moment, above Hongyue Commercial Street, the group of armed robbers had already rushed into the bank, quickly pulled the trigger, and used wide-range firepower to kill two guards. Then they fired shots into the air, forcing every employee in the bank to lie on the ground.

Amidst the stream of neon lights, pedestrians screamed and scattered in all directions, and for a moment the entire street's flow of people surged toward the exit, with car horns blaring in all directions.

Neither Su Ying nor Hei Yong made any rash moves at this moment, but quietly observed the scene on the street.

Su Ying's goal should be to wait for the black chrysalis to appear so that she can make contact with him in place of the brigade leader.

It's even quite possible that the commotion in the bank was orchestrated by them. After all, a little investigation into Black Chrysalis would reveal that whenever something interesting happens, this enigmatic figure, who is both righteous and wicked, is likely to appear on the scene.

All they need to do is hire a group of outlaws to stage this scene in the bank.

Black Chrysalis's goal was to capture Su Ying and find out if she was really his mother.

Su Ying wasn't far from him, so he had to remain invisible and wait for the right moment. He would release the "Restraint Belt Avatar" once Su Ying was a little further away.

Otherwise, if she were to discover the true form of the Black Chrysalis, things could very well go wrong on the spot—after all, Su Ying might just be a decoy, and the leader might be lying in ambush nearby, waiting for the Black Chrysalis to make its appearance.

At this moment, although he couldn't see the situation inside the bank through the black cocoon's perspective, he could hear a series of movements inside the bank through the amplified hearing of the restraints, and then roughly judge what was happening inside.

He gazed silently at Su Ying in the distance while listening to the sounds coming from inside the bank.

Rapid, continuous footsteps approached as robbers carrying explosive devices stormed into the vault and installed the devices on the vault door. A series of beeping sounds followed by a deafening bang that echoed throughout the entire commercial street.

The robbers yelled "Hurry up!" as they rushed into the vault carrying bags, grabbing handfuls of banknotes from the shelves and stuffing them in, like hungry wolves eyeing their prey.

Just then, Su Ying on the rooftop moved. Like a nimble wildcat, she leaped lightly between the high-rise buildings and alleyways, grabbed the ventilation pipe and slid down, landing on the top of an advertising sign after a single step against the wall, and finally swung around in mid-air before landing on the street.

In that instant, a mask suddenly covered her face—a mask resembling a cat's face. The pupils of her cat-like eyes were slanted upwards, and several sharp whiskers on her cheeks resembled claws, extending all the way to her ears.

“Skywalker?” Black Chrysalis thought, “From what I’ve observed, there shouldn’t be anywhere on her body where she could hide a mask, so this mask must be her Skywalker.”

As he thought about it, he stretched out his right hand and peeled off a piece of restraints above the high platform. The restraints wriggled and floated on the platform, gradually piling up into a crooked human shape.

The pitch-black restraints gradually wrapped around the humanoid figure completely, turning it into a "maskless and trench coatless" version of a black cocoon, just like every time it appeared in Japan.

The black pupa gently pushed the restraints of its avatar, causing it to fall. The avatar extended its restraints in mid-air, grabbed the traffic light sign, and twisted the traffic light pole. Then, it grabbed the restraints and swung around rapidly, heading towards the bank.

Inside the bank at this very moment.

Five robbers rushed out of the vault carrying large bags of banknotes, only to find that their accomplices who were keeping watch outside had been taken down by a figure wearing a wildcat mask and a black bodysuit.

Su Ying stepped on the backs of their accomplices, turned slightly to the side, and looked at them through the mask.

In the next instant, the five thugs simultaneously snapped back to their senses and raised their rifles, spraying bullets at the woman. A deluge of gunfire erupted, creating a blinding barrage. Su Ying had nowhere to escape, but her figure suddenly became blurred and distorted, then began to tremble eerily.

This scene is like when you're watching TV and the screen suddenly freezes, followed by the figures on the screen suddenly stretching and twitching amidst the static and noise.

In an instant, her figure vanished amidst the hail of bullets.

When the deafening gunfire subsided, the leader of the gang turned around in bewilderment and suddenly saw a cat's face pressed against his ear. The woman behind the mask whispered something to him.

The bandit was startled, his pupils dilated, but before he could react, Su Ying jumped onto the backs of the two bandits, kicked their backs with her knees until they were broken, then pinned them to the ground from behind and knocked them unconscious with a hand chop.

The other three accomplices came to their senses and twisted their guns to aim at Su Ying and pull the trigger.

Su Ying turned her head to look at the gun muzzle, and with lightning speed, lifted up the bodies of the two bandits beneath her, using their flesh and blood as shields to completely block the oncoming gunfire.

With a series of "splattering" sounds, bloody cuts spread across their bodies, splattering blood everywhere, but the bullets never touched Su Ying's body.

Immediately afterward, while the other three were reloading, Su Ying threw the two corpses away, pinned two of them down, and then swiftly pounced on the other one, grabbing his right wrist and pulling him forward to make him lose his balance. Then, she twisted her body, pressed her back against his chest, and subdued him with an over-the-shoulder throw.

With a loud bang, the man's body was slammed to the ground by Su Ying, and the cracking sound of breaking bones could be clearly heard.

The remaining two bandits struggled to their feet from under their comrade's corpse and pulled the trigger at Su Ying.

Su Ying's body underwent a strange transformation at that moment, once again blurring into a bizarre phantom, as if the reflection in a mirror had suddenly shattered. Her body abruptly twisted and then vanished from the spot.

The next second, she flashed behind the two thugs and hooked their heads with her long legs.

Then, their upper bodies twisted on the ground, their legs exerted force, and their heads spun around with a clear "crack" sound, then fell silent, their faces still showing expressions of astonishment.

"These days, if you don't have some kind of superpower and still commit crimes, you really have no self-awareness..."

Su Ying murmured softly as she slung the backpack containing the banknotes over her left and right shoulders.

Just then, she suddenly looked up and saw a huge, black pupa hanging upside down from the ceiling.

Su Ying straightened up from the ground and stared silently at the giant cocoon. The lights inside the bank flickered on and off. Many of the light tubes had been shattered by gunfire, and white fragments fell to the ground with a soft rustling sound.

Su Ying tilted her head and said calmly, "I was getting impatient and came out to find some fun, and you're only just now coming out."

The giant black cocoon slowly untied itself, and a humanoid figure wrapped in restraints emerged, holding a children's comic book, "Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother."

The restraints manifested as saying, "Oh, I know you... Su Ying, the new member of the Phantom Troupe, right?"

“It seems the leader was right, you have a strange ability to spy on others.” Su Ying said as she removed her mask, exposing her face to the light.

Her face kept changing, sometimes a charming middle-aged woman, sometimes a pure young girl, but her face always had the same indifference, revealing no expression whatsoever.

Su Ying seemed to have already heard from Qi Yuanli that Black Chrysalis possessed an unknown ability to acquire information, so she was not surprised when Black Chrysalis mentioned her name.

Black Cocoon's upside-down gaze was fixed on Su Ying's face, and it wondered: Does her "Sky Chaser" also have the ability to change her appearance? The power that suddenly disappeared just now must have also come from her Sky Chaser.

"Excuse me for speaking frankly... but I actually know someone named Su Ying."

"Is that so?" Su Ying kicked away the corpse at her feet and said casually, "Go ahead and say it."

Black Chrysalis lowered her eyes and said while flipping through the comic book, "The Su Ying I knew had an accident five years ago and died forever in this city. She left behind three poor children and a crazy, stupid cow."

Black Chrysalis paused for a moment: "Ms. Wildcat, is there any connection between you and that Su Ying?"

Su Ying paused for a moment upon hearing this: "I didn't expect anyone to know these things. It surprised me... No wonder the leader of the White Raven Brigade paid so much attention to you, and even made capturing you my first mission to join the brigade."

“You haven’t answered my question yet.” Black Chrysalis shrugged. “Are you the real ‘Su Ying’ or the fake ‘Su Ying’? Or do you actually have no connection with that Su Ying at all… But judging from your reaction, it doesn’t seem to be the case.”

"Who knows? Maybe I am the 'Su Ying' you're talking about, or maybe I'm not..." Su Ying said calmly, her expression suddenly freezing.

It was exactly how Gu Wenyu remembered his mother. In his memory, Su Ying always looked very young, with a beautiful face and a calm and gentle temperament.

The black pupa was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, even her voice became identical to Su Ying in Gu Wenyu's memory: "Tell me, why do you know Su Ying, and why are you so fixated on whether I am Su Ying?"

Black Chrysalis stared at Su Ying's face, thinking: Sure enough... since she has revealed this face, she either knows the mother of Unit One, or she is Su Ying herself.

“It seems you do know her, Miss,” he murmured.

"Otherwise what?" Su Ying said, "Isn't the answer right in front of you?"

“Mom,” Black Chrysalis suddenly said.

Su Ying was stunned for a moment.

The unexpected cry of "Mom" caused her brain to short-circuit for a moment.

The entire bank fell into a brief, deathly silence.

"Mom...it's me, Su Zimai, Mom..." The black pupa suddenly changed the details of the restraints' throat, altering its voice to Su Zimai's tone, "You don't recognize me anymore, do you? I thought you were dead..."

Immediately afterwards, he transformed his face into Su Zimai's and then removed the restraints covering his face.

Staring at the girl's face, which bore a striking resemblance to her own, Su Ying stood frozen in place, motionless.

Seeing her remain silent, Su Zimai, hanging upside down in mid-air, sniffed, wiping her nose with her restraints, and said with tears welling up in her eyes:

"Mom, why did you lie to us... We all thought you were dead."

Meanwhile, outside the bank, the black pupa, hanging upside down on a high-altitude work platform, scratched its chin, thinking to itself:
"You don't think you're the only one who can change your face, do you? Let me see... are you really my mom, or are you pretending to be my mom? And what's your purpose in pretending to be my mom?"
