Chapter 234 Blue Arc Assassination Operation, Unveiling the Secrets of the Black Chrysalis (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The black pupa hung upside down on the roof. Gu Wenyu silently observed Su Zimai for a while, then looked up at Lin Yilong, who had just come out of Lin Zhengquan's ward.

After thinking for a while, he decided to negotiate with the latter first.

Lin Yilong took the elevator downstairs, registered briefly at the front desk, and then left the hospital.

At the same time, Black Chrysalis loosened his restraints and plummeted straight down from the top of the skyscraper, the hem of his trench coat fluttering wildly. He stretched out a restraint strap and grabbed onto an advertising billboard, hanging upside down in the alley Lin Yilong often walked through, reading a book as he waited.

Before long, Lin Yilong arrived as scheduled.

He stopped in the middle of the alley, looked up, and stared at the dark figure hanging silently upside down in mid-air.

"Mr. Mulong... so you're planning to take action against Blue Arc?" Heiyong asked while reading. "Or have you been busy taking care of Mr. Lin Zhengquan's safety these past few days? I don't think you've been away from the hospital much."

"Nothing to do with you."

Lin Yilong said coldly.

"Don't be so cold. We're business partners, after all. It won't hurt to say a few more words."

"It's supposed to be a collaboration, but what can you offer me?"

“Uh… I can give you some constructive ideas,” Black Chrysalis said. “At noon on August 3rd, which is tomorrow, the mayor will be holding an annual Outcast Awards ceremony in the city center to commemorate the 8th anniversary of the Outcast Association.”

"and then?"

"Blue Arc will make a grand entrance and receive a medal personally presented to him by the mayor," Black Chrysalis said. "If you want to expose Blue Arc's past crimes and seek revenge, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity... Because the award recipient is Blue Arc, no one will question his inability to protect those around him, and the venue's security will be weak. You can take advantage of the situation and have a real man's 1v1 with Blue Arc on stage."

Lin Yilong raised his head and looked at the black cocoon expressionlessly.

He asked, "So, what exactly are you up to? What do you gain from cooperating with me? I don't believe you have no ulterior motives and are simply looking for fun."

“That’s a good question.” Black Chrysalis suddenly looked up from her book. “You’re the first collaborator to ask me about the purpose of our collaboration. That’s a good sign, proving that not all of my collaborators are so unguarded.”

"What's your answer?"

"In fact... I have no ulterior motives towards you, and I don't even need you to do anything."

"Then what's the point of you contacting me?"

“I have ulterior motives towards Ghost Bell,” Black Chrysalis said quietly. “And it was at Ghost Bell’s behest that I came to help you. Wasn’t my intention clear from the beginning?”

"Mr. Ghost Bell?" Lin Yilong pondered.

“That’s right, Mr. Ghost Bell even fought Blue Arc several times for you,” Black Chrysalis said with a sigh. “He told me that you are a very good young man, and that he wanted to see you kill Blue Arc and avenge your father more than anyone else.”

He paused for a moment: "So, Ghost Bell sent me to help you. Is that hard to understand?"

"I still don't think he'll work with a clown like you."

"Judging people by their appearance is not a good quality," Black Chrysalis sighed. "I have other things to do. I've already given you the plan; whether you implement it or not is another matter. But tomorrow's awards ceremony is indeed a rare opportunity, and I hope you won't miss it."

Why should I listen to you?

"Years ago, after that earthquake, at the same awards ceremony, you, still young, helplessly looked up from the crowd as Blue Arc received his medal amidst dazzling light," Black Chrysalis said deeply. "You wanted to yell at him then, to make him pay for your father's death, but you could only be dragged away by security guards, your mouth covered, unable to utter a sound..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yilong lowered his head, his face slowly darkening.

He certainly still remembers the sense of powerlessness he felt that day. He was just an ordinary person surrounded by the crowd, only able to look up at the "rising star hero" in blue armor, step by step onto the award stage under the spotlight.

Finally, amidst cheers from thousands, Blue Arc received the medal awarded by the mayor.

Lin Yilong opened his mouth to shout angrily, but his thin body was drowned out by the cheers of the crowd. In the sunlight, the boy opened his mouth in despair, but no sound came out. He just stared blankly around at the fanatical smiles on the faces of those people.

Before that day, he had watched as his father was blasted into blood and gore by that deep blue lightning bolt, which splashed onto his face.
On that day, he watched as his father's killer was hailed as a hero by everyone, while he could only stand in the crowd, being pushed and shoved, unable to even stand on his own two feet.

Lin Yilong suddenly realized that in this era, the voices of ordinary people are probably not even as powerful as those of insects.

Therefore, he could not make a sound, nor did he dare to make a sound.

He was afraid his roar would be insignificant. So he suppressed his hysterical roar in his throat, his chest burning as if it were about to tear apart.

Finally, in an attempt to prove he wasn't a loser, he rushed toward the podium, only to be stopped by security.

Before Lan Hu could finish his questioning look, he was dragged away without a word.

That was the most powerless day of Lin Yilong's life.

It was that despair that drove him to grow stronger over the next three years, making him the person who can now stand on the same stage as Blue Arc.

“Things are different now, aren’t they?” Black Chrysalis’s voice broke his thoughts. “A familiar awards stage, familiar people, isn’t this a golden opportunity to prove that… you are no longer the powerless boy you once were.”

He paused. "If I were you, I wouldn't miss tomorrow's awards ceremony. Mr. Mutaki, are you going to continue being a useless person like you were a few years ago, only able to watch the people you hate walk onto the stage, unable to do anything about it?"

After saying that, the black pupa grabbed a restraint strap and swung upwards, its body as light as a jet-black bird.

"Shut up."

Lin Yilong lowered his head and pondered for a long time before looking up with a gloomy expression.

The clear summer sky was cut into pieces by the power grid, and a dark rain cloud was drifting in from afar. The long, dark figure had already disappeared among the crisscrossing power lines.

"As expected of Master Guizhong's apprentices, you two are exactly alike in that you only know how to say 'shut up' after being choked by someone."

These were the words Lin Yilong heard before he left the alley, their tone still mocking. He clenched his fists, his face cold as he walked out of the alley; it had started to rain.

At the same time, on the fifth floor of Lijing Central Hospital, outside Lin Zhengquan's ward.

The rain pattered softly, and the corridor was quiet.

Ke Qirui sat on a public bench, gazing at the rain outside the window, quietly smoking his pipe; Su Zimai stood against the wall, her hands behind her back, her head hanging low in a daze.

Xu Sanyan walked in from the stairwell, still wearing a black suit. He took a cigarette from his pack and put it in his mouth, then looked up at the two men and asked:
"How's Zhengquan doing today?"

"The doctor sent by the association said he can be discharged today," Ke Qirui said.

"Okay...that's good." Xu Sanyan took out a lighter and bent down to bring it close to the flame.

"Then we can finally leave. We've been staying at this hospital for days." Su Zimai stretched and turned to look at the two of them. "By the way... Commander, Sanyan, did you two watch the news yesterday?"

Xu Sanyan shrugged: "The news about the legendary whale?"

"I saw it." Ke Qirui said, smoking a pipe and looking down. "I heard from the association that the White Raven Brigade destroyed the Garden of Shadows and killed the legendary whale." "The White Raven Brigade has that kind of power?"

Su Zimai cast a surprised look at her.

“Of course, I also have my doubts about this,” Ke Qirui said. “However, the islands in the miniature garden are now located in the North Sea near Bergen, and we can slowly piece together the truth of the matter from the islanders’ stories.”

“The things that have happened lately are getting bigger and bigger,” Su Zimai sighed. “First the Tokyo auction, then the destruction of this Little Garden Kingdom… The White Raven Brigade is really getting more and more arrogant.”

Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou's image suddenly flashed into her mind.

The memory of that day when she and Xia Pingzhou fought off a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the tropical rainforest was still vivid in her mind. She didn't know why, even though this man was highly suspicious and his stance was wavering, at that moment she was willing to believe him.

At that time, if there had been even the slightest mistake in their coordination, they would probably have both died on the spot, swallowed by the two dinosaurs.

She had initially harbored resentment towards Xia Pingzhou, but the idea of ​​revenge vanished after that collaboration.

"Revenge?" Su Zimai thought. "His willpower is really strong. If I were in that group of murderous madmen, I probably wouldn't have been able to endure it for even a day."

She shook her head, pulling herself out of her jumbled thoughts, and stopped thinking about that enigmatic young man.

"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune, isn't that exactly what those scoundrels are best at doing?" Xu Sanyan leaned against the wall and took a drag of his cigarette.

"In short, this matter is not simple, so don't rush to conclusions," Ke Qirui said calmly.

"Ah."

Su Zimai nodded.

“Our MaiMai is just so curious.” Ke Qirui raised her hand and patted her head. “If you really care about the truth of the matter, then just go and ask Hei Yong.”

Su Zimai was taken aback: "Huh? You want me to go find the giant fluttering moth?"

As she spoke, she turned her head and gave Ke Qirui a cold glance: "Commander, are you serious?"

“Our respected Mr. Black Chrysalis is all-knowing,” Ke Qirui teased. “What’s wrong with asking him? Maybe he knows the inside story of the Little Garden incident, after all, he has dealings with the Phantom Troupe.”

"Oh... I think I heard people talking about me behind my back."

Upon hearing this eerie voice, the three members of the Ghost Train were slightly startled, and then looked up at the same time.

A huge, pitch-black pupa had appeared out of nowhere, hanging silently upside down beneath the snow-white ceiling. Everything in the hospital was plain white and desolate, making this incongruous object stand out starkly.

"Speak of the devil, and he appears." A smile curved Ke Qirui's lips.

"Tch." Xu Sanyan shook her head. "Another unlucky day."

Su Zimai froze, almost losing her balance, then frowned and shouted in a tone that was both surprised and annoyed:

"A big, fluttering moth!"

The next moment, the giant pupa slowly split open, and a young man in a black trench coat emerged from it, holding a hardcover copy of "The Snows of Kilimanjaro".

"Shh, this is a hospital." Black Chrysalis raised a finger wrapped in restraints to her lips, her tone mocking. "Miss Su Zimai, I know you're happy to see me, but could you please be a little quieter?"

Su Zimai lowered her voice and said disdainfully, "You're still as disgusting as ever, always eavesdropping on other people's conversations."

"It was just a coincidence that I bumped into you on my way to find someone," Black Chrysalis said dismissively.

"Looking for someone?" Ke Qirui raised an eyebrow. "There aren't many people here you can look for."

"That's right, has Mr. Lin Zhengquan woken up?" Hei Yong asked.

"So you were looking for him... Well, you've come at just the right time. Zhengquan is awake right now," Ke Qirui said. "That's strange. Mr. Black Chrysalis, is there anything you need to tell him?"

Black Chrysalis nodded, raising her eyes to meet hers: "Indeed, it is a very important matter, and I'm afraid it will be too late if we don't convey it soon."

“Wow, Mr. Black Chrysalis says it’s important, so it can’t be ignored.” Ke Qirui smiled. “Then why don’t the four of us go to the ward and have a chat?”

After saying that, she put her pipe back in her trench coat pocket, got up from the public bench, and took the lead in opening the ward door and walking inside.

Seeing this, Su Zimai and Xu Sanyan silently passed by Hei Yong and entered the ward.

The black cocoon tightened its restraints, fell from the ceiling, rolled over and landed steadily on the ground, then stepped into the room and casually closed the ward door.

Lin Zhengquan, who was resting with his eyes closed on the hospital bed, opened his eyes upon hearing the commotion. The moment he saw the man in the trench coat and mask, he couldn't help but frown: "Who is this?"

"We've come to visit you in the hospital." Black Chrysalis shoved the book into her trench coat pocket, organizing her thoughts. "Uh... first, I must reveal two facts that may shock you."

"Go ahead and say it, we're all listening," Ke Qirui said.

Black Chrysalis thought for a moment: "You should know 'Mutaki', right?"

"Mulong?" Lin Zhengquan asked.

“The newly appointed Aberrant.” Ke Qirui smiled. “I talked about him with Sanyan and Xiaomai. Mulong’s abilities are quite impressive. Didn’t he beat you up in the square before?” As she spoke, she turned to look at Heiyong.

"How did you manage to escape from his territory back then?" Su Zimai asked suspiciously.

Black Chrysalis shrugged: "That's a trade secret..."

He thought to himself, if his younger sister and Ke Qirui knew that he could also create clones, they would probably be absolutely certain that he was Gu Wenyu, which was not convenient to tell them.

"So, what happened to Mu Long?" Xu Sanyan couldn't listen anymore.

"Alright, let's not talk about Mulong for now. You all should know Blue Arc, right?" Hei Yong grinned.

Except for Su Zimai, who was stunned for a moment, the other three members of the Ghost Train Group nodded.

“Blue Arc is her brother.” Black Chrysalis stretched out her left hand and pointed at Su Zimai.

“Mu Long is his younger brother.” Hei Yong stretched out his right hand and pointed at Lin Zhengquan.

The ward was initially deathly silent, then the four members of the Ghost Train troupe simultaneously uttered the same sound:
"ha--?!"

The black chrysanthemum withdrew its hands, put its hands on its hips with satisfaction, and continued speaking amidst a chorus of astonished gazes:
"Then... here comes the most crucial part: Mu Long wants to kill Lan Hu, which means that Mr. Lin's younger brother wants to kill Miss Su's older brother."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "So, what are your thoughts on this?"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
