My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 155 Su Zimai's Revenge Plan (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On the evening of July 23, five minutes after the bank incident, near a residential building in the Guyimai neighborhood.

Maintaining its transparent form, the black pupa stood motionless atop the streetlight.

Under the bright full moon, bathed in its gentle light, he silently observed the brightly lit residential building.

Only after confirming with his senses, using the restraints, that Su Zimai was the only one in the house, did he leap into the room through the open window with a sense of security.

I took a deep breath and closed the window behind me.

The restraints covering my body fell off, splashing onto the ground like a black tide, and for a moment my body felt much lighter.

He supported his shoulders with his hands, tilted his head, and stretched his stiff neck. To be honest, he seriously doubted that his cervical spine would be able to withstand being upside down for too long.

"Is someone so young already developing cervical spondylosis?"

Ji Minghuan lay on the bed, manipulating the restraints to undress herself while absentmindedly pondering:

"If what Tong Zizhu said is true, then Mom really was an exorcist before?"

"She also said that Mom is a third-tier exorcist. No wonder Su Zimai's talent is so high. It turns out she inherited it from Mom... But if Mom is really that powerful, why was she easily crushed to death by Hong Yi? Was it to protect her older brother and younger sister?"

In the memories of Unit One, when their mother died five years ago, Gu Wenyu and Gu Zhuoan were not at home.

At the time, the old man was taking Gu Wenyu to the supermarket to buy ice cream. When they rushed home, they found that their home had been reduced to ruins and was engulfed in flames.

Gu Qiye and Su Zimai were unconscious. Rescuers carried them onto stretchers and into an ambulance.

Seeing this, twelve-year-old Gu Wenyu stood there stunned, slowly letting go of the plastic bag he was carrying, which fell to the ground with a "thud".

In conclusion, Gu Wenyu did not witness Su Ying's death, and therefore had no way of verifying the series of abnormalities in his mother.

"Never mind..." Ji Minghuan shook his head, pulling himself out of his jumbled thoughts. "No matter what, Tong Zizhu is a member of the Phantom Troupe after all. We'll just let Unit-02 slowly get to know her."

While he was lost in thought, the black restraints had already stuffed the mask and trench coat into the closet.

So he put his arms behind his head, closed his eyes, and took a tour of the perspectives in his mind.

Venice is 7 hours behind Lijing, so it's still afternoon there.

After killing the two twin demons resembling Blue Arc, Xia Pingzhou had the Queen Statue carry his body, avoiding the surveillance cameras along the way, and returned to the hotel to rest.

Meanwhile, in the Whale Garden, it was about the same time as in Lijing, and night had already fallen.

After the old butler died, Caesar had not eaten or drunk anything all day and was fast asleep on his side; Agubaru had nothing to do, so he could only sleep inside the crystal ball.

"Tomorrow, Caesar will be watching the Royal Court team's exhibition match. I need to observe the Royal Court team's strength while also trying to get Caesar to find out from the Queen where the legendary whale will land next, so as to prepare for meeting the captain the day after tomorrow."

After making a plan in her mind, Ji Minghuan was about to close her eyes to rest when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, followed by Su Zimai's indifferent voice:

"Hey bro, are you asleep yet?"

He reluctantly sat up, got out of bed, turned the doorknob to open the door, rolled his eyes, and looked expressionlessly at Su Zimai behind the door.

She was wearing a white nightgown, her beautiful hair cascading down her back. Seeing that she hesitated for a long time, unwilling to speak, Ji Minghuan shrugged helplessly and took the initiative to ask:

"What do you want from me?"

“I…” Su Zimai put her hands behind her back, looked up at him, and said hesitantly, “I may have to leave for a while in a few days.”

Seeing her expression, Ji Minghuan asked without hesitation, "Oh, are you going on another mission?"

As he spoke, taking advantage of Su Zimai's inattention, he raised his finger and brought up the mission panel of Unit 1.

Main Quest 3 (Phase 7): This quest will refresh in 3 days (July 26th).

Is what she's doing related to the main quest? He wondered.

“Yes, a very important task,” Su Zimai said in a low voice.

"An important mission?"

Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow, muttering to herself as she looked up, staring suspiciously at her sister's serious expression.

Just then, his spare phone, hidden in his pocket, beeped with a message notification. He paused for a moment, then realized he'd forgotten to hide the phone Black Chrysalis used under the wardrobe.

If his older brother and father were standing in front of him, he definitely wouldn't dare to show his spare phone to avoid arousing suspicion, but he didn't care about Su Zimai, who was a harmless creature.

So he turned on his phone screen in front of Su Zimai and glanced at the message he had received.

[Ke Qirui: Tell Xia Pingzhou that we've found the 'traffic light'.]

"Ha... Could this be the important task that Su Zimai just mentioned?"

Ji Minghuan stared blankly into thought, then quickly typed a reply to the other party's message.

[Black Chrysalis: You're not kidding me, Miss Ke.]

[Ke Qirui: I'm not joking with you. Based on a series of clues we've gathered, we've determined that 'Red Light' will next head to London.]

[Black Chrysalis: London... I see. I will pass this on to Mr. Xia Pingzhou. Thank you for the information.]

[Ke Qirui: You're welcome. We're business partners, after all.]

[Black Chrysalis: Will the Ghost Train crew be all out this time? Catching a red light is quite an achievement.]

[Ke Qirui: Of course.]

[Black Chrysalis: Even the little girl who wet her pants in fear was no exception.]

[Ke Qirui: She's a genius, she just needs time to hone her skills.]

[Black Chrysalis: I understand. If it's convenient, would you be willing to give me a ride on the train demon? Once I get to London, I'll definitely be able to provide you with a lot of help.]

[Ke Qirui: Wow, are you serious? Watch out, or we'll gang up on you.]

[Black Chrysalis: Seriously, I strongly suggest you bring me along, otherwise something unexpected will happen.]

[Ke Qirui: Hmm... Considering you saved Xiaomai once, I'll take you along this time.]

[Black Chrysalis: Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Ke. We'll contact you later.]

Ji Minghuan typed quickly in the input box, clicked send, and then looked up at Su Zimai. While seemingly staring at Su Zimai, he was actually pondering the text on the panel.

Main Quest 3 (Phase 7): This quest will refresh in 3 days (July 26th).

"I see," he thought. "So the fourth stage of this main quest is about working with the Ghost Train crew to catch the red lights in London?"

Su Zimai had been standing at the room door for quite a while. With a cold expression, she asked in an unpleasant tone:
"Who is it? Replying to her messages is more important than your sister, huh? You haven't secretly gotten a girlfriend, have you?"

Ji Minghuan put her phone back in her pocket and asked her, "I'd like to ask you, is your mission that important? You've only been home for a couple of days, haven't you?" "It's very important," Su Zimai said. "It's about getting revenge on someone I really dislike."

revenge?

Ji Minghuan's heart stirred slightly as she suddenly recalled how Xia Pingzhou had scared Su Zimai so much at the auction that she wet herself.

He tilted his head, wondering: "Is my little sister planning to get revenge on my second unit? Don't be so funny..."

Ke Qirui probably also knew that during the disbandment of the troupe, as long as Hei Yong relayed this information to Xia Pingzhou, Xia Pingzhou would most likely rush to London, England, to see his former teammate who had gone mad for no reason—the evil exorcist "Red Light".

When Su Zimai learned from Ke Qirui that Xia Pingzhou would also be involved in this matter, she naturally couldn't help but want to give this guy who had embarrassed her a good beating.

He remained silent for a moment. Under normal circumstances, he might have had the leisure to let the second unit play with his younger sister, letting her vent her anger by giving her a good beating.

But this time the situation is completely different:
—The Salvation Society members would bring several children imprisoned in the base to capture Red Light, in order to test the children's combat skills.

Intervening at such a crucial juncture is incredibly dangerous. Su Zimai might actually die this time, since the Salvation Society and the White Raven Brigade are not on the same level.

Even Rainbow Wing and Lake Hunter are probably no match for the Salvation Society.

However... since the Salvation Society still wants to play the good guy in front of my true form, they probably won't directly attack the Exorcist Association.

If we take this into account, then Su Zimai should be safe?
But will everything really go as smoothly as I think? Even if my sister doesn't die, what if she's also captured and taken to the Salvation Society's base?
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised her eyes and asked in a seemingly casual tone:
"So, you're going to run away from home again?"

“No… this time I plan to sit down and have a proper talk with them.” Su Zimai shook her head. “But without your help, I definitely can’t convince them, especially my older brother. He’s incredibly stubborn.”

"Isn't it troublesome...? Why do you need to worry about them? Just do a magic trick and fly to Ke Qirui's house on a pigeon."

"No."

"Why not?" Ji Minghuan suddenly sneered. "It's not like you'd obediently stay home just because they don't let you go out. Do you think I don't know your personality?"

Su Zimai paused for a moment, then frowned and said in a low voice, "You're right. Even if they don't let me go, I'll still go."

"Isn't that right?" Ji Minghuan said expressionlessly. "Why bother with all that and waste my time?"

Su Zimai hung her head and pondered for a moment: "Isn't it better to ask them something than not to ask them at all?"

A brief silence fell between them. After a long while, Ji Minghuan suddenly took a deep breath, his lowered bangs obscuring his eyes.

"Have you ever thought about this...?"

"What have you thought about?"

"If you've thought about it, ask me too."

Ji Minghuan paused for a moment: "Am I not your brother too? Why are you only thinking about what your older brother and father think? Do you think I have to support you?"

Su Zimai was slightly taken aback, then slowly raised her head to meet Gu Wenyu's gaze.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never even seen Gu Wenyu angry. This older brother always seemed indifferent to everything. But right now, she could tell from Gu Wenyu's tone that he seemed a little angry.

Ji Minghuan's face was icy as she asked, word by word, "Tell me honestly, is the Tokyo incident related to you?"

As he spoke, he opened his phone's browser and searched for trending topics: "That news about the auction is all over the internet. The timing coincides with our trip to Japan. I heard that almost all the guests and bodyguards are dead."

"Me and that matter..."

Ji Minghuan interrupted her: "Are you trying to say that you have nothing to do with that matter?"

"Why are you being so fierce? What did I do to you?"

"Didn't you tell me the night before last that these things are dangerous, and that you might suddenly disappear one day?"

"and then?"

“Then…” Ji Minghuan looked away, “Wouldn’t I worry about you? Aren’t I family too?”

Su Zimai was stunned for a long time. She stared blankly at Gu Wenyu's profile, lowering her eyes and then raising them again.

His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.

"What if I don't let you go? Will you still go?" After a moment of silence, Ji Minghuan asked.

“Yes, I will go,” Su Zimai said. “I want to become more powerful, climb higher, become more famous among exorcists, and then find out about my mother’s affairs. So I can’t let go of any opportunity.”

"Oh, whatever you want then."

After uttering a cold remark, Ji Minghuan closed the door, leaving Su Zimai alone in the corridor.

He lay back on the bed, put his arms behind his head, and stared at the ceiling in silence.

"Why am I actually a little angry... for no reason." He muttered softly after a moment.

After a long while, when he heard the footsteps in the corridor gradually fading away, he slowly closed his eyelids.

"Restricted-level psychic, number 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', instructor is visiting. Prepare for interrogation as soon as possible."

The cold words and the cold light emanated from the ceiling, waking Ji Minghuan from her deep sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes, yawned deeply, and then turned to look at the entrance.

The heavy metal doors opened, and the instructor walked in slowly and sat down at the table.

He clasped his hands together and looked at Ji Minghuan with a smile: "How did you sleep?"

"It's alright." Ji Minghuan got out of bed and stretched. "Having a TV makes sleeping much better."

He got out of bed and sat down opposite his tutor.

The mentor rested his chin on his clasped hands, looked up from behind his glasses, and stared intently at Ji Minghuan.

He said, "Ji Minghuan, we have found the trail of the 'red light'."

Ji Minghuan was taken aback: "The crazed exorcist you were talking about before?"

"Yes, he is your target for this mission."

"Wow, where is he?"

London, England.

The mentor paused for a moment, met Ji Minghuan's gaze, and slightly composed himself as he said:

"Three days later, you will travel to London to carry out your first mission on behalf of the Salvation Society."
