My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 192 Ruri Urushihara, Reunion, Return (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Ruri Urushihara sat down against the wall, hugging her shoulders and tucking the hilt of her sword between her arms.

He smiled as he looked at the five children in the cabin, while Big Ben tolled in the distance. The melodious chimes mingled with the morning light streaming through the windows, bathing their innocent faces in its glow.

The expressions on their faces were slightly surprised and puzzled.

They eyed the uninvited guest warily. One second they were alone in the cabin, the next this figure suddenly appeared and started talking to them. It was very suspicious!
It was only then that Kong Youling finally came to her senses.

She paused for a moment, then withdrew her guard and slowly sat back down next to Ji Minghuan.

Ji Minghuan patted her head and said in a low voice without turning her head, "Don't do that next time. I don't need you to protect me."

Kong Youling neither nodded nor wrote anything; she simply sat there, hugging her knees in a daze. She lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, then picked up her notebook and slowly, stroke by stroke, wrote with a pencil:
"But... I also want to protect you."

But after she finished writing, she didn't show it to Ji Minghuan. Instead, she closed the notebook, hugged it to her chest, and silently lowered her head. She knew that Ji Minghuan was angry, even though he acted as if he didn't care.

A silence fell over the cabin. The children looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak to the young man dressed like a Japanese samurai.

The leader is still the leader after all, and she played a leading role in the end.

Sun Changkong sat cross-legged on the Somersault Cloud, curiously examining Urushihara Ruri, and asked:

"Did you bring us back?"

“Otherwise?” Ruri Urushihara smiled. “The pattern on your hands is my special ability. As long as you have that pattern, I can bring you back.”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then pulled up the sleeve of their hospital gowns to look at their wrists, only to find that the strange diamond pattern from before had disappeared.

So this was his special ability? Was it teleportation? No… it couldn't be that simple. Thinking this, Ji Minghuan glanced down at her wrist, then looked up at Urushihara Ruri:
"Your ability has no distance limit? You sent us back to the ship from that far away."

"Secret."

"Big brother, you're a Calamity-level ability user, right?" Ji Minghuan thought for a moment and then asked.

"Why do you say that?" Ruri Urushihara raised an eyebrow.

“I heard your name on the radio before, when you came to see your advisor.”

“Your memory is pretty good,” Ruri Urushihara suddenly laughed. “But you have to call me older sister.”

"what?"

“Because of the job, I am good at disguise,” Ruri Urushihara said. “I can appear in front of you in any form I want.”

"So you're playing a Japanese samurai today?" Ji Minghuan asked curiously.

“Pretty much,” Ruri Urushihara said. “When I dress up as a man, you can also treat me as a man. I often dress up as a man and go on dates with young girls. Women understand women better, so I know how to make them fall head over heels for me.”

Ji Minghuan thought to himself, "It sounds like you could exchange experiences about abducting little girls with a certain lesbian train hero."

Sun Changkong stared at his pectoral muscles for a while before realizing what the two were talking about. She sniffled, her nosebleed catching in her throat, and blankly looked up, belatedly asking:

"Wait, you're a woman?"

"Yes."

"Then...then...what are your muscles?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Ruri Urushihara smiled slightly: "It's pasted on, it looks pretty realistic, doesn't it?"

Sun Changkong was stunned, his mouth agape in shock, his little tiger teeth reflecting the sunlight.

Then he lowered his head, and his eyes slowly dimmed.

She pouted, looking aggrieved, and squatted on the somersault cloud, drawing circles in the white mist. As a country girl, and having spent several years in jail with the Salvation Society, this was the first time in her life she had seen a handsome guy, and the first time she had seen a handsome guy's abs. She never expected to be scammed... "Does this world only bully wild children?" she wondered.

Ji Minghuan glanced at her, thinking to herself that the hurt she had suffered must be no less than that of a young boy who had just fallen in love online with a cross-dresser.

He thought, "So Ruri Urushihara is a woman... Is she the captain's older sister or younger sister?"

He felt that this so-called Ruri Urushihara could easily join Tong Zizhu and Hei Yong at a game of cards, since they all liked women who could disguise themselves.

The guy in the middle, in particular, dressed up as the mother of Unit 1, and for a time brought Ji Minghuan the warmth of maternal love.

Objectively speaking, although Tong Zizhu's act of giving Ji Minghuan a mother was heartwarming, Ji Minghuan decided to repay evil with kindness and would call every mech she encountered "Mom" in a respectful way, leaving her with a psychological shadow.

"You just said our mission is over?" Only Mario brought up the important matter.

“Indeed…you failed,” said Ruri Urushihara.

Hearing this, Sun Changkong finally remembered something important. She paused, climbed up from the somersault cloud, and shouted unwillingly, "Why? But we can still fight!"

“Failure is failure.” Ruri Urushihara smiled. “However, this time it’s not your fault, but rather that the Salvation Society didn’t anticipate so many factors hindering the mission.”

She paused, then said, "For your safety, we have no choice but to suspend the mission."

Sun Changkong asked, "Then why don't you step in and beat those bad guys away, and then grab that traffic light?"

“No, my orders are only to ensure your safety, not to participate directly in the operation.” Ruri Urushihara shook her head.

Mario said expressionlessly, "Didn't the mentor say that he wants to test our abilities? There's no point in letting others interfere."

“But…but…” Sun Changkong stammered, his face full of resentment.

At this moment, Fiorio, who was sitting in the corner of the cabin, finally calmed down, and his dark pupils no longer bulged upwards.

He curled up in a ball, hugging his shoulders, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Ji Minghuan, Kong Youling, I should have stayed to protect you. I caused you to get into danger."

"This was our collective judgment, and in the end, everyone was fine, wasn't that right?" Ji Minghuan turned to look at him.

Mario said, "Shouldn't we blame some restricted-level superhuman for doing nothing?"

Ji Minghuan said, "Let's not talk about whether I'm a restricted-level ability user or not. You should first have your mentor take off my ability suppressant. Otherwise, how can I show you my supernatural powers?"

He lowered his voice and said sarcastically, "You want to test my abilities, but you don't want to remove the inhibitors from my body. Isn't that like the left and right hemispheres fighting each other?"

That's what he said, but he knew in his heart that once the Salvation Society reduced the dosage of the inhibitor, he could unleash the potential of all the organisms at the same time.

When he wanted to leave, no matter how many people were in that underground bar, they couldn't stop him. But the Salvation Society was too cautious and never relaxed their restrictions on him. Mario looked up from his handheld console, glanced at Ji Minghuan, and quickly looked away.

He said, "That's true... but I do hope you stay as an accessory, otherwise we won't have a chance to shine."

"Cat Mario, you've gone too far!" Sun Changkong sent his somersault cloud to bump into Mario, making him choke.

Ignoring the two bickering, Ji Minghuan looked up and asked Urushihara Ruri:
What do we need to do now?

“Now…” Ruri Urushihara thought for a moment, “you just need to take a nap and then go home.”

After saying that, needles suddenly emerged from the collars of the five children and injected sedatives into their necks. Soon after, the children slid down one after another like puppets with broken strings and fell into a deep sleep in the cabin.

The somersault cloud gradually disappeared, turning into a fleeting red light that landed on Sun Changkong's chest. Urushihara Ruri reached out and helped Sun Changkong's head, which was about to hit the ground, before carrying her back to the bed and then silently sitting down by the wall.

"The White Raven Brigade... is it just a coincidence?" Ruri Urushihara lowered her eyes and said silently, "Brother, did you come to find me?"

She clutched the knife hilt to her chest and glanced sideways at the clear, water-washed sky outside the window.

Meanwhile, in another corner of London.

Inside a pitch-black, enormous pupa, the black pupa opened its eyes, and the restraints on its senses enveloped the entire abandoned train station like a sea.

Xia Pingzhou fainted due to excessive blood loss, and his main body was unable to move due to the sedative. So at this moment, the only machines that could be operated were a gluttonous shark that only knew how to eat and sleep, and a large fluttering moth.

The most pressing matter is naturally the Black Chrysalis side, since Ji Minghuan is still waiting to reunite with the Ghost Train group.

The surroundings were deathly silent, and the vibrant side of London was shut out by these dilapidated roofs.

Every second that Ji Minghuan waited inside the train station filled her with trepidation.

He worried that Ke Qirui and the others would be intercepted by the Salvation Society halfway, and that their meeting at the underground bar would be their last. If that happened, the Salvation Society would be able to reclaim the traffic lights, and the whole trip would be for nothing.

Fortunately... things didn't turn out the way he expected.

With a series of footsteps, the four members of the Ghost Train Group climbed the stairs and entered the empty Platform 7.

Seeing that they had entered the sensory perception range of the restraint band, Black Chrysalis secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, "Looks like there's no need to pick out offerings for my sister's grave. I'll save money on a pack of diapers."

Ke Qirui, with a pipe in his mouth, took a puff and said, "Let me make it clear first, my train demon only has one or two carriages left, and there are no sleeper berths yet, so everyone will have to squeeze in after boarding."

"Were all the other carriages of the train demon wrecked by that red-haired little girl?" Lin Zhengquan asked, frowning.

He was busy dealing with the little werewolf and had no time to pay attention to the battlefield on the leader's side.

Ke Qirui nodded, "I really don't know who these kids are, and what kind of power the person behind them comes from..."

Su Zimai remained silent. After this impactful morning, she had gained a completely new understanding of the black pupa.

He seemed to come from a completely different world from theirs, and in that unfamiliar world... such demons and monsters were probably just commonplace?
"What exactly is this giant fluttering moth?" she wondered.

Xu Sanyan stubbed out her cigarette. "Let's get in the car first. I have an appointment this afternoon."

"Another blind date?" Ke Qirui glanced at him sideways.

“Right, I can’t just keep messing around with you forever.” Xu Sanyan said expressionlessly, “I’ve made enough money, it’s about time I retired.”

“Here it comes, here it comes, it’s the death flag.” Su Zimai crossed her arms and said matter-of-factly, “If you said this before the operation started, I feel like you’d already be dead in the bar.”

"Don't curse your own family..." Lin Zhengquan helplessly raised his hand and ruffled her hair.

The four members of the Ghost Train group all smiled.

Because Black Chrysalis had warned them beforehand, they had tacitly avoided mentioning her name from the start of the operation until now. After all, no one could be sure whether the mysterious organization was still using some kind of mysterious method to monitor them.

“Let’s go… let’s go back to Lijing, away from this place of trouble.” Ke Qirui put away her pipe and turned to look at Su Zimai. “Your brother must be quite worried about you too.”

“No… my brother didn’t message me.” Su Zimai glanced at her phone.

Oh? My brother didn't message my sister, but he messaged me. He won, won too much. Black Chrysalis clenched his fist secretly.

Ke Qirui's retro-style one-way mirror flashed, and a movie screen appeared above the mottled tracks. Then, a dark red train roared out, and white steam surged out, covering all directions.

When the fog cleared, the train, which was originally a hundred meters long, was now reduced to just a locomotive and two carriages by the magic cudgel. It looked so pitiful, like a cat that had been shaved.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the four members of the Ghost Train Troupe boarded the train one after another.

Black Chrysalis also began to move. He pulled on the restraint strap above his head, swung around the abandoned train station, and then distributed the weight of the strap all over his body, landing lightly on the ceiling of one of the carriages without making a sound.

Clinging to the top of the carriage, Black Chrysalis made a move similar to the Pokémon "Slacker," lying on its side and resting its hand on the back of its head.

He opened the task panel and claimed the reward for the corresponding task.

[Main Quest 3 (Phase 4) Completed – Assist the Ghost Train crew in capturing the rampaging evil exorcist "Red Light".]

[Rewards obtained: 1 skill point, 1 split point, 1 attribute point.]

[Note: Main Quest 3 (Phase 5) will refresh after a certain period of time.]

Black Chrysalis raised her finger, closed a series of system panels, then raised her head and quietly looked at the London sky.

He also understood that it would only be safe once the train demon entered the "time tunnel," otherwise the possibility that the Salvation Society members were lurking nearby could not be ruled out.

Once he slips up, his mentor's chain of suspicion will immediately be established, and his situation in the Salvation Society will become even more dangerous.

After the four boarded the train, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, and the train demon crashed headlong into the dark tunnel, blocking out the sunlight overhead, and the world went dark.

Soon after, a spacetime rift formed in the pitch-black tunnel.

The dark red steel behemoth plunged into it and then disappeared.

"Judging from their appearance, the red light must be in the movie world and hasn't been stolen," Black Chrysalis thought. "Then... once the train enters the tunnel, we should start interrogating the red light."
