Chapter 177 Another Mythical Anecdote: Arrival in London (Thanks to Chocolate Ding for the generous donation)

The cold-toned lighting filled the cell, where several children sat in front of the television, chatting amongst themselves. Their faces were pale from the light.

After discussion, they decided to abandon any slogans.

Ji Minghuan seemed surprised that even Kong Youling did not support the slogan she proposed. So, like a deflated balloon, she slumped her head, buried herself in picking out the discs on the ground, and ignored the three people behind her.

After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Speaking of which... do you know what the last, sixth child was called?"

"The sixth child?" Filio murmured in confusion.

Ji Minghuan nodded: "Didn't your mentor tell you that there's another kid here who's bound to a 'mythical-level wonder'? Among so many of you, does anyone know his name, or what his wonder is?"

Upon hearing this, the three children in front of the television looked at each other in bewilderment.

“It should be Zhu Bajie,” Sun Changkong crossed his arms and grunted twice, “That way I’ll have a junior brother.”

“Big Sister, you already have a lot of followers, you don’t need another pig,” Ji Minghuan said. “Besides… I feel that Pigsy is at most a ‘generational’ wonder, not even as good as Tang Sanzang.”

"What's so great about Tang Sanzang?" Sun Changkong asked, sitting cross-legged and blinking curiously at him.

“Tang Sanzang is amazing,” Ji Minghuan snorted. “We can divide up his flesh and eat it, and then we can live forever and live until the end of the world.”

Philio's ears perked up, and a chill ran down his spine. "Ji Minghuan, I don't eat people, I don't eat people... I really don't eat people."

He murmured softly, curled up, hugged his tail, and looked shakily at the ground.

Ji Minghuan was taken aback, thinking to himself that he might have accidentally touched a sore spot for the little werewolf.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking. I wouldn't let you eat people." He patted Filio's wolf ears, thinking to himself that he was even worse than Shasha, who ate everything.

To change the subject, he turned to look at Mario in the chair and continued asking:
"Mario, do you know what another mythical tale is here?"

“I think I heard my mentor mention it…” Mario said, “He said it was from a foreign myth, but I forgot which country’s mythology it was from.”

"Greek mythology?" Ji Minghuan was taken aback.

Mario played the game console for a while with a blank expression before nodding.

Ji Minghuan withdrew her gaze from his face, raised an eyebrow curiously, and pondered in her heart:

"Wow... fragments from Greek mythology? It's not some kind of Poseidon, Hades, or Athena, is it?"

In fact, he knew very little about Greek mythology. He only learned about these imposing names when he watched "Saint Seiya" with Kong Youling in the computer room.

With a "click," the dark disc player swallowed the disc, and the television began to play images.

Ji Minghuan looked up at the TV screen, scratched his head, and suddenly thought, "Wait a minute, what if the last child's mythical fragment is 'Zeus'? ...Then the Salvation Society dungeon after that will really be hellish for me."

"What are you thinking about?" Kong Youling tugged at his sleeve and held up her notebook.

"Nothing much, I'm going to London tomorrow, are you happy?" He turned around and gave her a slight smile.

"So happy, my first trip!"

"Yeah, after our trip to London, we escaped on the Penguin spaceship. Those idiots from the Salvation Society definitely can't catch us."

"really?"

"real."

Sun Changkong suddenly looked away from the television screen, glanced at the two of them, then hugged his knees and silently stared at the television. His fiery red pupils reflected on the screen, glowing brightly.

Not long after, when the movie was only halfway through, the mentor's voice rang out from above them: "It's time to rest, kids. We have to go to London tomorrow, so get some rest."

As soon as the words were spoken, the metal doors swung open with a rumble, revealing the figures of the white-robed experimenters lined up side by side under the light curtain of the passageway.

Sun Changkong was the first to stand up, and without saying a word, he walked out of the detention cell.

Mario was the second to get up, looked down at the game console, and walked into the passageway with a blank expression.

Ji Minghuan glanced at Sun Changkong's back, then pressed the pause button with the remote control, turned to Kong Youling and Filio, and said to them, "You two should go back to sleep too, or you'll get scolded by your mentor again."

Philo nodded. "Goodbye, Ji Minghuan. I will definitely protect you tomorrow."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, big dog."

After saying that, he turned to look at Kong Youling, "Tomorrow...see you in London."

A moment later, the children all walked out of the cells. The door closed. The lights went out.

In the darkness, Ji Minghuan sat motionless in the chair for a while, then lay down on the bed.

Just then, his pupils contracted slightly as he suddenly felt a subtle stinging sensation on his neck, as if a tiny needle had grown out of the inside of his collar.

Immediately afterward, his consciousness suddenly became hazy, his mind felt as if shrouded in mist, he couldn't think clearly, and he was about to drift off to sleep. "A sedative..."

Realizing this, before he completely lost consciousness, Ji Minghuan used all his strength to split his mind apart, dispersing and synchronizing it with the perspectives of several game machines in his mind.

At this very moment, it was already the dead of night in Beijing, China, while Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami's plane had just arrived at London International Airport in the UK.

The time difference between London and Beijing is seven hours, and it's sunset here.

The plane descended slowly with a rumbling roar. Looking down from the plane, one could see the Thames River shimmering in the sunset, and birds flying over the Millennium Bridge, which connects St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tate Modern.

A light drizzle was falling from the sky, and the Gothic spires could be seen hazily through the rain.

Ayase Origami gently reached out and woke Xia Pingzhou, who was resting on her shoulder. He slowly opened his heavy eyelids, looked up, and saw the crimson glow of the setting sun reflected on the girl's pale face.

Staring at her profile for a while, Xia Pingzhou thought to himself, "That's really ruthless... My mentor must have injected my main body with a fast-acting sedative, and not just any ordinary one... I almost fell into a deep sleep."

"Have we arrived?" he asked.

"We're here," she said.

"So fast..." Xia Pingzhou yawned and lifted his head from Ayase Origami's shoulder.

"London and Venice are close by; it's only a two-hour flight." Jack the Ripper crossed his arms and asked the two, "What are you planning to do next?"

"Let's find a hotel to sleep in." "Sleep in."

Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami spoke in unison. The former swayed as if he hadn't woken up yet, so he rested his head on the shoulder of the girl in the kimono and closed his eyes.

The Ripper swept across his seat and said coldly, "I wouldn't mind slicing you up, putting you in a bag, and taking you to the hotel."

Xia Pingzhou remained silent, and Ayase Origami simply looked down at the haiku collection, seemingly having no intention of waking Xia Pingzhou, since there were still two or three minutes before the cabin doors closed.

Ji Minghuan synchronized her consciousness to the No. 1 mecha.

Now that Xia Pingzhou has arrived in London, it's time to get busy with the matters concerning the Black Chrysalis.

At the same time, in a residential building in the Guyimai neighborhood of Lijing, China.

In the dimly lit room, Gu Wenyu sat up in bed, raised his right arm and stretched out the restraint strap to press against the wall, glancing at the time on the wall by the moonlight: "01:30".

He scratched his messy hair, pulled out his phone from under his pillow, and glanced at it with droopy eyelids.

[Ke Qirui: 2:30 AM, the abandoned train station near Guyimai Street, I'm waiting for you here.]

[Black Chrysalis: Received, Miss Ke.]

[Ke Qirui: Let's hurry, we need to arrive in London tonight and make some plans. The traffic lights should already be on their way to London.]

[Black Chrysalis: I'm always punctual, so please don't worry.]

[Ke Qirui: Speaking of which, surely the all-knowing Mr. Black Chrysalis wouldn't get lost? Do you need me to send you my location?]

[Black Chrysalis: It's alright, Miss Ke Zinan will lead the way for me.]

[Ke Qirui: You have such a twisted sense of humor, do you really enjoy stalking little girls?]

[Black Chrysalis: You're wrong. I was just protecting her safety. Letting a little girl walk alone at night is not the behavior of a gentleman.]

[Ke Qirui: If she knew there was a giant fluttering moth following her, she'd be even more terrified, right?]

[Black Chrysalis: Not at all. I just gave her a gift a few days ago. She should be head over heels in love with me now.]

[Ke Qirui: I'll talk to you later, see you at the train station.]

Gu Wenyu put down his phone, stretched out a restraint strap and pressed it against the wall. The strap's sensory components penetrated the wall, allowing him to peek into his younger sister's room.

Under the moonlight, a white nightgown lay on the floor. Su Zimai had changed into a smart black suit, put on a face mask, and tied her hair in a high ponytail. Her whole demeanor suddenly looked much more capable and heroic.

Su Zimai was facing her reflection in the mirror, her eyes resolute, as if she had made a tremendous decision.

"The same outfit as at an auction, coupled with that determined look... Oh no, the diaper demon is about to strike again..."

Gu Wenyu rubbed his dark circles, thinking to himself with annoyance, then groaned and slowly sat up in bed.

Another restraint strap emerged from his sleeve, pulling out a cardboard box from the bottom of the wardrobe. From it, he took out a black swallowtail trench coat and a dark red mask.

After changing into the black cocoon uniform, he then wrapped his entire body in restraints, entering a transparent form. He then opened the window, leaped up in the moonlight, and disappeared into the darkness.
