Chapter 273 Ruri Urushihara's Supernatural Ability, The Icelandic Girl's Aspirations (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"By the way, did you know that there was someone on the plane who is your biggest fan?" Ruri Urushihara put down her newspaper and suddenly turned to Gu Qiye.

Gu Qiye belatedly raised her head and looked at Qiyuan Liuli sitting on her right.

"Who are you referring to?" he asked casually, seemingly uninterested in the topic.

"Of course it's our Icelandic girl! Who else could it be? Or that two-hundred-year-old woman lying in her coffin? But her second personality, Alice, might actually like you." Ruri Urushihara said teasingly, resting her chin on her hand.

"An Icelandic girl?" Gu Qiye murmured in confusion.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head slightly from the back of the chair, glancing at Yuriel sitting behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Qiye remembered that the file mentioned that Yuriel was born in Iceland. That's why Urushihara Ruri called her the Icelandic girl; there were no other Icelandic girls here.

Right now, the Icelandic girl is wearing white Apple headphones and looking down at her tablet playing a game called "Life is Strange".

"Are you sure it's her?" Gu Qiye asked. He couldn't imagine that someone as aloof as Yu Ruier would be a fan of a popular idol.

During his time as a member of Blue Arc, he consistently adhered to the association's requirements, maintaining the standards expected of a public figure in his words and actions. Frankly, even he himself didn't particularly like the "Blue Arc" persona, so he didn't feel anything when he heard that his family also disliked it.

“Oh right, she’s a fan of yours,” Ruri Urushihara said with interest. “I did a mission with her once before, and when she had nothing to do, she would search for your name on her browser.”

She picked up a bottle of cocktail from the food cart and added, "Well, even without searching, Blue Arc's name is all over the internet, a big celebrity."

"Why is she so interested in me?" Gu Qiye asked.

"Who knows?" Ruri Urushihara stretched and tugged at the corner of her lips. "You can ask her yourself."

At this moment, Yuri noticed their gazes. She looked up at Urushihara Ruri, then turned to look at Gu Qiye, and slowly took off her headphones.

"What's wrong?" she asked expressionlessly.

Gu Qiye shook her head. "It's nothing."

"We were just talking about you. Aren't you his number one fan?" Ruri Urushihara unscrewed the bottle of cocktail, turned to look at her, and asked, "Why are you so unresponsive now that we've met? Has your robot girl crashed?"

Gu Qiye and You Ruier both fell silent.

"This is a misunderstanding, isn't it?" Gu Qiye turned his head to look at the Icelandic girl behind him.

She paused slightly, then lowered her eyes, offering no denial.

"It's not a misunderstanding?"

As he spoke, Gu Qiye glanced at her in surprise, then suddenly remembered Yu Ruier's computer wallpaper.

He tilted his head. "It's a bit strange for a catastrophe-level fan to be a near-catastrophe-level fan; half a month ago I was still a near-catastrophe-level fan, you should have been able to crush me with one hand, right?"

Yuriel remained silent.

"You're quite the conversationalist," Ruri Urushihara teased, taking a sip of her cocktail. "Let me guess, you've never been in a relationship?"

"I don't have time," Gu Qiye said. "I'm very busy at home."

"So you're still a househusband." Ruri Urushihara said casually. "Very good. Isn't there a line in The Godfather that says a man who doesn't care about his family isn't a good man? Although I don't watch movies that are too masculine."

“It’s complicated, do you want to hear it?” Yuriel suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Gu Qiye asked. He was utterly exasperated by the strange people in Hongyi's group, feeling like a social outcast here. However, he didn't intend to get too close to anyone from Hongyi.

"Of course, it's about my journey to becoming your fan, you blockhead," Ruri Urushihara answered for her.

Gu Qiye hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you don't mind, tell me."

He felt that this was no different from being publicly executed. Suddenly, he thought it would be good if the people around him disliked Lan Hu like his family did, at least it wouldn't be awkward.

Yuriel paused for a moment before speaking, "I grew up without parents, and I feel deep sympathy for children like myself who have no home. Therefore, after becoming a member of Rainbow Wing, I used the money I earned to support several orphanages. One of these orphanages is in Lijing, China. Once, I saw the orphanage I was supporting on the news: the Blue Arc, the Outcasts, rescued a group of children who were being held hostage by criminals. I knew those children; they were all very well-behaved, very good children..."

At this point, she looked up at Gu Qiye, "Since then, every time I come to that orphanage, I see a group of children gathered around the TV, shouting and praising Lan Hu. They are laughing so happily, I have rarely seen them laugh so happily... So without realizing it, I feel that this person on TV is quite remarkable, he has done what I have not done. At least he can give these children a psychological support, give them the courage to face life, and give them light in their eyes."

Yu Ruid paused for a moment, then said, "And... isn't your image my tablet's wallpaper?"

Gu Qiye nodded. "That was the wallpaper they changed when I let the little girls at the orphanage play with my computer," Yu Ruier said. "I haven't changed it since then because... I don't dislike it."

Gu Qiye was stunned. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

The girl raised her eyes, her icy blue pupils fixed on Gu Qiye, like a clear blue sky.

She said, “Whether what the outsider Mutaki said is true or not, I don’t think you need to blame yourself. Because in places you can’t see, many more people living in darkness have been encouraged by your existence, and many people have been saved because of you, just like the children in the orphanage.”

Gu Qiye remained silent for a long time, wanting to open his mouth and say "thank you" to her, but after hearing "Mulong", his mood sank to the bottom again. The scene of fighting with Mulong in the center of Lijing City that day seemed to be still vivid in his mind.

"I'm sorry... I'm not what you think."

Gu Qiye lowered his voice and spoke slowly, then turned around, no longer glancing at the white-haired girl behind him out of the corner of his eye, as if he didn't want to see her disappointed expression.

But Yuriel just stared at his back quietly, her gaze lingering for a long time.

"What a pity, it seems neither of you are very good at chatting." Ruri Urushihara smiled and shook her head. "Do you need me to lend you a hand?"

Neither of them responded to her.

Seeing that Gu Qiye remained silent, You Ruier slowly lowered her head as well. She put her headphones back on, turned her head to look out the window, and saw that the sky above the sea of ​​clouds was clear and bright.

"Never mind, it's my fault. I shouldn't have tried to find topics for you two taciturn people," Ruri Urushihara said calmly. "Let's talk about something more practical so that it won't get awkward."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Gu Qiye, "Let's introduce each other's abilities. This will make it easier to maintain a good working relationship in the following operations."

Yuriel was wearing headphones, but she still understood what she was saying by reading her lips.

She and Gu Qiye both lowered their heads and thought for a while, then raised their heads at the same time and nodded.

“Let me start with my introduction. My abilities are rather complex, and there are quite a few ways to use them,” Ruri Urushihara smiled. “But to save time, I’ll just talk about one that might be useful in this operation. You shouldn’t mind, right?”

Gu Qiye asked expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"

As Ruri Urushihara poured a cocktail into a plastic cup, she introduced it slowly and deliberately:
"For example, I can leave a diamond-shaped mark on you, and as long as you are within three kilometers of me, I can teleport you to my side at any time, or to the location of another mark carrier, as long as the mark has not disappeared."

Gu Qiye raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment: "I don't understand, since you're here, why did the Machine Soul Bodhisattva 'Ajaya' die?" If Rainbow Wing's predecessor, Number 8, hadn't died, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter Rainbow Wing.

“Because I didn’t participate in that Sahara operation, and Ajaya seemed to have underestimated the enemy,” Urushihara Ruri said calmly. “The target of the Sahara operation was the supernatural criminal organization, ‘Black Cross.’ At the time, their international wanted level was even higher than that of the White Raven Brigade. No one expected that there was a Calamity-level supernatural being hiding in ‘Black Cross.’ Ajaya fought hard but failed, and in the end, he had no choice but to perish together with him.”

Gu Qiye nodded silently, seemingly agreeing with her statement, yet also seemingly not.

When it was his turn to introduce his special ability, Yuriel and Ruri Urushihara both tacitly skipped it. After all, Blue Arc's special ability was already known to everyone.

And since it had only been a few days since the second mutation of his superpower, even Gu Qiye himself probably hadn't figured out the changes in his ability during that time, so asking him was pointless.

Therefore, Gu Qiye and Qiyuan Liuli both turned their attention to Yu Ruier.

“My ability is ice control,” Yuriel said. “It’s not some kind of rule-based ability. Just like your ability is lightning manipulation, it’s simple and easy to understand.”

“Okay, I understand,” Gu Qiye said softly.

He suddenly recalled the mess at Lijing Starlight Amusement Park. If it were a Calamity-level ability user with the power to control ice, then it was indeed possible to make such a mess of the scene.

Yuriel had promised him that she would tell him who killed Ghost Bell after the mission was over, so he didn't need to overthink it. For now, he just needed to focus on the mission.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiye took out her phone from her coat pocket, opened the photo album, and glanced at the top photo.

Those were photos he received from Ke Qirui before boarding the plane. During the days that Su Zimai had run away from home without a word, he had kept in touch with Ke Qirui, which was why he felt at ease letting his sister go out.

He took a deep breath, looked away from the screen, and stared blankly at the boundless sea of ​​clouds. The sky was as blue as the sea, making one feel as if they could swim all the way to the other side of the world.

Just then, Ruri Urushihara's voice suddenly drew his attention.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the higher-ups' orders this time are that if you encounter members of the White Raven Brigade, don't even think about capturing them alive, and don't try to extract information from them. In other words... kill as many as you can." Urushihara Ruri lowered her voice slightly at the end.
