My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 202 Negotiation, Unit 2 Awakens (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"A keen sense of smell."

As soon as the words were spoken, a pitch-black restraint belt extended downwards from the sky, and the black cocoon fell upside down from the top of the billboard, holding a copy of "The Outsider" in its hands, hovering in front of Lin Yilong.

Lin Yilong stared at his figure and asked slowly, "What do you want to do?"

Black Chrysalis lowered her eyes, turning the pages of the book as she spoke:

“I heard about your situation from Mr. Ghost Bell and I deeply sympathize with your plight. At the same time, I also feel disgusted with Blue Arc. He is self-righteous, foolish, and arrogant. Someone should have taught him a lesson long ago and made him face reality.”

"Ghost Bell?" Lin Yilong paused. "You still have connections with Ghost Bell?"

“That’s right. Even though you’re now an Outcast and on his opposing side, you two used to have a good relationship. He praised you highly, saying you were a good kid and shouldn’t ruin your future for revenge.”

“Boring…” Lin Yilong frowned. “Don’t try to fool me with his name. I don’t believe he would cooperate with a clown like you.”

"I heard that your battle suit was designed by Old Master Ghost Bell himself," Black Chrysalis said. "Don't you think it's strange that I would know these things? If he hadn't told me personally, how would I know these things?"

“I’m enough on my own, I don’t need any collaborators,” Lin Yilong said. “If you try to get in my way, I’ll kill you too.”

After the previous test in the square, Mutaki understood that Black Chrysalis usually uses a Stand to appear in front of others, so even if he caught him, it would be useless.

Black Chrysalis suddenly grinned and said, "This is not something someone with leverage over you should say. Your temper is as stubborn as Ghost Bell's. You are indeed a good disciple he trained."

"I have nothing to do with him anymore."

"Let's change the subject. Aren't you curious about who attacked your brother?"

Lin Yilong's face darkened instantly: "You'd better not mess with me, I'm in a bad mood right now."

“First of all,” Black Chrysalis said, “did you know that your brother is actually an exorcist?”

"Of course I know."

"But he doesn't know you're a superhuman, right?"

Lin Yilong was silent for a moment: "What does this have to do with you?"

Black Chrysalis sighed deeply: "That's right. Judging from your reaction, neither of you has revealed your identities to the other, so you don't know what happened to the other."

He held up one finger: "I feel the same way. These kinds of family tragedies happen all the time. The whole family could solve 90% of the problems by sitting down together and having a frank conversation, but everyone has their own secrets and has to hide things from each other."

Have you finished spouting your nonsense?

"When Mr. Lin Zhengquan was carrying out a mission for the Exorcist Association, he accidentally provoked people from a mysterious organization, and that organization was targeting his team and planned to annihilate them."

“That woman in the hospital must be one of his team members…” Lin Yilong pondered. “I often see her around my brother.”

“That’s absolutely right. Her name is Ke Qirui, and she’s the leader of the exorcist team ‘Ghost Train Group’,” Hei Yong said. “And your brother is a member of the train group. All four of them are currently being targeted and are probably doomed.”

“It doesn’t matter… I trust my brother.” Lin Yilong shifted his gaze. “He can handle this himself.”

"Are you sure?" Black Chrysalis thought for a moment. "Alright, that's fine too. Since you think so, let's not discuss your brother's matter for now and just let him fend for himself."

He paused for a moment: "But... are you really not going to consider cooperating with me? I have your background, your motives, and all your secrets. I could choose to make these secrets public, but I didn't."

Lin Yilong stared at him silently for a long while before speaking:

"I can cooperate with you, but you'd better not let me find your true form, and keep your tail between your legs..."

“Don’t worry…” Black Chrysalis said, “No one can find my true form. My true form is in the safest place in the world. I’m afraid even I myself can’t find it.”

"You want to use me."

“Of course, you can also use me, that’s what we call ‘cooperation’.” Black Chrysalis closed the book. “Don’t hesitate any longer, Mr. Mulong. I am the best and most well-connected intelligence dealer in this city. Every discerning person would be honored to cooperate with me. You are the first person who is so difficult to deal with. You know, even Ghost Bell agreed to my cooperation request without saying a word.”

As he spoke, he shook his head and shrugged, "We're all civilized people, there's no question of resorting to knives and guns."

"I hope you won't regret your choice."

Lin Yilong said in a deep voice, then turned and left expressionlessly.

Black Chrysalis watched him leave in silence, then opened the "Social Superstar" character development panel.

Sure enough, another name had appeared on it.

[Current progress: Training Task 3: Establish cooperative relationships with a total of 10 superhumans (Current progress: 9 out of 10, the superhumans with whom cooperative relationships have been established are: "Gu Qiye", "Su Zimai", "Ke Qirui", "Lin Zhengquan", "Xu Sanyan", "Gu Zhuoan", "Tong Zizhu", "Qi Yuanli", and "Lin Yilong".]

"At this rate, we only need one more collaborator to complete the training phase," Black Chrysalis thought. "Units 2 and 3 are much simpler. There's not that much scheming and maneuvering involved. One is all about killing and the other is all about eating. In comparison... the difficulty of Unit 1 is absolutely inhuman."

He wrapped his entire body in restraints, and his slender figure instantly merged into the air, disappearing without a trace.

"Next, we just need to wait for Unit 2 to wake up, and then we'll consider how to dispel the commander's suspicions."

It was 7:30 PM local time on July 27th, inside a private hospital in London. Xia Pingzhou woke up in his hospital bed and looked around. It seemed to be a basement, with no windows, only ventilation openings. The tiles on the ceiling were faintly cracked and had some yellow spots on the surface, looking quite old.

"This must be a basement," he thought to himself, groaning softly as he got out of bed, the wound on his back throbbing with a splitting pain.

Fortunately, Ji Minghuan had already adjusted his "pain perception" to one percent. Even if his entire back was split open, he would only experience the intensity of being punched.

Xia Pingzhou took a deep breath, turned to look at the closed door, and then took out his phone from beside his pillow.

Upon opening the phone, a message from the hacker immediately popped up on the screen.

[Hacker: The leader watched the video from the underground bar and wants me to ask you what happened in the movie world. Remember to answer me when you wake up.]

[Xia Pingzhou: I encountered several monster children. I was dealing with the Ghost Train gang while dodging their pursuit. These children seemed to be after the crazed exorcist; they possessed the mythical artifact, "The Monkey King."]

[Hacker: That's it?]

Xia Pingzhou: What else do you want me to say? If it weren't for your fault, I wouldn't have gotten involved.

[Hacker: Ugh, don't even mention it. I got yelled at by the young lady and the Ripper for this whole thing, and even the old lady in Venice is cursing me. How many mothers do you have?]

[Hacker: I used to tease you about your luck with women, but now it's backfiring. I'm fucking annoyed with you. You'd better deal with them as soon as you wake up.]

[Xia Pingzhou: I'll stop talking now. I need to check where I am. We can talk when I get back to the hotel.]

[Hacker: I've sent the Ripper to pick you up.]

[Xia Pingzhou: Couldn't you have the young lady come pick me up?]

[Hacker: The young lady has gone into seclusion; you probably won't be able to find her for a while.]

Xia Pingzhou was taken aback, then shrugged, silently put down his phone, clicked the gear icon in the lower right corner of his field of vision, brought up the system panel, and found the taskbar option.

[Main Quest 3 (Phase 2) Completed: Stop the Salvation Society members from taking away the "Red Light".]

This main questline is complete and will not lead to any new stages.

"Is this main quest over?" Xia Pingzhou wondered. "The process is shorter than I expected."

Although he couldn't feel the pain, he was still acutely aware of his physical weakness and exhaustion. So he silently lay back down on the bed, using his consciousness to navigate the control panel, and continued to look down.

[Quest rewards obtained: 2 skill points, 1 split point, 1 attribute point.]

[Unit 2 currently has 3 skill points (If you have too many skill points, please use them to develop the skill tree and unlock the unit's potential)]

“I already have three skill points. I saved one last time, which is just enough to unlock the King’s power.” Xia Pingzhou thought to himself that he was quite concerned about the move [King’s Flash] on the chess player skill tree, feeling that it would be a powerful killing move.

[Unit #2 has 1 attribute point.]

You currently have a total of 8 Split Points (a total of 16 Split Points are needed to create the next mech).

"I'm almost ready to gather enough split points. My next mech needs to be one that can get close to Lake Hunters so I can figure out a way to lure the Lake Hunters to the Salvation Society base and make them my allies..."

Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou silently closed a series of system panels. Just then, he suddenly froze slightly and slowly turned his head from the pillow.

Under a flickering light bulb, a girl in a black and white school uniform appeared in the basement. She sat quietly on a chair beside the hospital bed, her long, straight black hair falling behind her head.

The light cast her shadow long, long on the old wall.

At this moment, the girl in the school uniform lowered her eyes and used a small knife to peel an apple in her hand. The apple peel, as bright red as blood, peeled off in circles and slowly fell to the ground.

Xia Pingzhou only breathed a sigh of relief after he saw her profile clearly.

He asked, "If I faint from fright, shouldn't you apologize to me?"

"Now that you're awake," the Ripper said expressionlessly, "shouldn't you tell me what happened that day?"

As she spoke, she pressed the knife against Xia Pingzhou's neck, placed the peeled apple on the shiny blade, and slid it down the sharp edge toward Xia Pingzhou's mouth.

Xia Pingzhou remained expressionless and did not catch the apple with his mouth. "I only accept food from Miss Xia."

"Want to die?" the schoolgirl said calmly. "I wouldn't mind sending you on your way."

Xia Pingzhou took a bite of the apple, then slowly got up from the bed and said, "Before answering all your questions, I require Miss to be present."

A flash of light, and the apple in his mouth snapped in two.
