My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 294 Electric Current Memory, The Last Undercover Agent (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The carriage was brightly lit, yet completely silent, with only the deafening roar of the engine in the air.

Black Chrysalis had already put the mask back on, turned on the voice changer, and the metal was fitted to his head, covering the back of his head.

He was playing Minesweeper on his phone while silently reading a book. The restraints made a rustling sound as he turned the pages. Ke Qirui, sitting opposite him, was also reading a book, but it was a detective novel.

"Speaking of which, do your other collaborators know who you are?" Ke Qirui thought for a moment and then suddenly asked.

“Uh… So far, only you and my grandfather know,” Black Chrysalis said. “Of course, once I achieve my goal, there will be no need to continue pretending. More and more people will know my identity.”

"So you mean... even Xia Pingzhou doesn't know who you are?" Ke Qirui asked curiously, looking up into his eyes.

"Xia Pingzhou? Who is Xia Pingzhou? Does he even deserve to know who I am?"

At this point, Black Chrysalis couldn't help but shrug. "He's just a small fry at the Dragon level. Tell me, besides the Diaper Demon, who else can he bully?"

"I see." Ke Qirui smiled. "Then I should be honored to be the first person besides your grandfather to know this fact."

“That’s right, this is the treatment of a personal driver. Even my brother and my dad don’t know my identity.”

"Doesn't it sound a bit like, 'Neither my dad nor my brother ever hit me'?" Ke Qirui joked.

"Indeed, if they ever find out who I am, they'll really give me a good beating."

As he spoke, Black Chrysalis scratched his chin. "But I was probably already underground by then. They couldn't possibly be kicking my tombstone to vent their anger, could they?"

Ke Qirui ignored his wicked joke, lit his pipe, and asked casually:
"Speaking of which, you didn't fall in love with me at first sight, did you?"

"how you said that?"

"You only revealed your identity to me. I must state first that I do not date minors."

"You're being a bit presumptuous. I'm an independent, transgender-aware woman, and the probability of me falling in love with you at first sight is close to zero." Black Chrysalis narrowed her eyes. "Besides, you might as well say that you don't date men; that would be more convincing."

"Where does this persuasiveness come from?"

"Is that even a question? Our diaper devil is completely infatuated with you."

Hei Yong lowered her head and sighed in disappointment, "I thought my older brother would teach you a lesson, but he actually said, 'Respect and understanding, as long as Xiaomai is happy, that's all that matters.' I almost fainted from anger."

"Don't joke like that. If the big idol Blue Arc really comes after me, I'll really have to take a train and flee overnight."

"He's no longer a big idol; in other people's eyes, he's just a controversial dead man," Black Chrysalis said calmly. "In the information age, people will forget him soon, and a new replacement will appear immediately."

"Your brother is quite determined. He gave up the fame and fortune he had earned over the years and plunged headlong into a revenge journey with no guarantee of a good outcome," Ke Qirui said with a sigh.

“He’s always been like this,” Black Chrysalis said.

“Xia Pingzhou too,” Ke Qirui suddenly said. “With his talent, if he had stayed with the Exorcist Association, he would definitely be a top figure by now.”

“Uh…” Black Chrysalis raised her head, “I feel that you care too much about Xia Pingzhou.”

"Really?" Ke Qirui raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t you have to ask about his current situation every time you meet me?” Black Chrysalis narrowed her eyes and stared at her. “It’s a bit too frequent.”

"Actually, it's because the president really likes him and often asks me about him."

"President?"

“The president of the China Lijing Exorcist Association is also my adoptive father,” Ke Qirui explained. “When Xia Pingzhou left the association because of the red light incident, the president repeatedly expressed to me that he felt it was a pity that such a talented person had left the world of exorcists. However, the president did not force Xia Pingzhou to stay because of his own selfish desires.”

"His fate was unpredictable, and after all the twists and turns, he certainly didn't expect that Xia Pingzhou would fall into an even more dangerous situation."

"Perhaps this is fate," Ke Qirui sighed. "But is he really only at the Dragon level right now?"

“Of course, didn’t you see it with your own eyes? He was fighting the Diaper Demon to a standstill.” Black Chrysalis said slowly. “Only half a month has passed since the auction started. Even if Xia Pingzhou’s talent is strong, he can’t cross the threshold of the Quasi-Cataclysmic level.”

"So here's the question: how will he defeat the Ripper?" Ke Qirui said. "I just got some news from the chairman these past two days. They said that the White Raven Brigade attacked the Shin-e-kyo prison in Hokkaido, killed the warden who was a calamity-level prisoner, and kidnapped a prisoner."

She lowered her voice: "You happen to be in Hokkaido too, you can't tell me you didn't actually know about this, can you?"

Without hesitation, Black Chrysalis said, "According to my investigation, the warden is a member of the Salvation Society, so I entered into a mutually beneficial cooperation with the White Raven Brigade, and thus obtained a lot of crucial intelligence."

Ke Qirui already knew enough. Even the incident at the red light would cause a huge reaction if it reached the ears of the Salvation Society.

So he didn't mind letting Ke Qirui know more, since the two of them were already in the same boat.

“I see. I was wondering how you got involved in this.” Ke Qirui thought for a moment. “Actually, what I’m more concerned about is that the intelligence report said Xia Pingzhou killed a near-disaster-level soldier named ‘Flame Ghost’.”

She paused for a moment: "If Xia Pingzhou's strength is really still at the Dragon level, as you say, then how did he manage to do this?"

"Broaden your horizons a bit. Isn't it common for protagonists in novels to kill opponents of higher levels? Think about it, Xia Pingzhou's experience is a perfect protagonist template."

After saying that, Hei Yong counted on his fingers one by one, "The reason I say this is firstly because he was an unparalleled genius, secondly because his whole family died, and finally, his whole family died."

Ke Qirui smiled helplessly, too lazy to continue the nonsense with Hei Yong, and simply reminded him:

"Although the president likes Xia Pingzhou very much, if things continue like this, Xia Pingzhou is going further and further down the path of a sinner... He killed a good person."

“If he doesn’t act, someone else will. He’s just forced to do it,” Black Chrysalis said. “Besides, Xia Pingzhou doesn’t care whether he’s a good guy or a bad guy. He only cares about whether he can get his revenge… The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon, doesn’t that make sense?”

"But can he really defeat the Ripper?" Ke Qirui asked. "According to the latest intelligence I have, the Ripper is already a third-tier exorcist. The evolved Sky Exorcist has changed its form, and she should have reached the strength of the Cataclysmic level."

"Don't worry... Xia Pingzhou will do something even more amazing than you imagine."

Hei Yong closed the book, the rumble of an engine filling his ears.

The train demon burst out of the time tunnel at that moment. With a screech of brakes, sunlight streamed in. The train had arrived in New York, at an abandoned train station. New York's local time was more than ten hours behind Lijing's. So while it was the morning of August 9th in Lijing, the clocks in New York had just struck night on August 8th.

It's like an eternity.

After getting off the train, Hei Yong looked up at the night sky, then waved goodbye to Ke Qi Rui. He then wrapped himself in restraints, entered camouflage mode, and left the train station.

He swung between towering skyscrapers, finally hanging upside down beneath the buildings of Times Square.

The black chrysalis hung upside down, silently gazing at the brightly lit street, waiting for someone's message.

A moment later, he felt a vibration in his trench coat pocket. He took out his phone and glanced at it.

[Gu Qiye: I've found out who killed my mother. Come out and meet them.]

[Black Chrysalis: Why do we need to meet? Couldn't you just type the members' information into your phone and send it to me?]

Gu Qiye: You'll understand when you see me.

[Black Chrysalis: Okay, send me the location, I'll stay invisible the whole time.]

The black pupa flew away from Times Square, plummeted in the howling night wind, and then plunged into the Manhattan neighborhood, hanging upside down under the air conditioner unit's support plate.

Not far away is a park, bustling with people. White pigeons flutter in the twilight, and the fountain splashes water.

Gu Qiye arrived quickly and was very punctual.

He sat down on a public wooden bench on the street, with a wall covered in graffiti behind him.

At that moment, an invisible pupa was hanging upside down below the air conditioner unit overhead.

The two were positioned one above the other, only centimeters apart. No one made a sound.

To be honest, Hei Yong still didn't understand what Gu Qiye wanted to do, or why he had to take such a big risk to meet her.
He silently observed Gu Qiye, while Gu Qiye silently played with her phone.

The black pupa's body maintained its color-changing form, but given the close proximity, Gu Qiye should have been able to sense the change in airflow and should have known that he was hanging upside down above her head, yet she made no indication of it.

A moment later, a tiny beam of black lightning suddenly shot out from Gu Qiye's fingertips.

The current silently pierced through the air, touched the black pupa's neck, and then traveled along the blood vessels to his brain nerves.

Black Chrysalis was taken aback, and then her pupils under the mask contracted slightly.

As a tingling sensation spread through his bones, large fragmented memories suddenly flooded his mind.

"My brother transmitted his memories to me through electricity? Is this the level of precision of a Calamity-level ability user?" He narrowed his eyes, pondering.

Only at this moment did he finally understand why Gu Qiye wanted to meet him in person.

First of all, Gu Qiye did not have any photos of the Rainbow Wing members. If he wanted Hei Yong to become familiar with the faces of the eleven members of Rainbow Wing, the only way he could do so was to transmit memories using electricity.

Secondly, if other information about Rainbow Wing members is transmitted by typing on a mobile phone, there is a certain possibility that it will be inaccurate from memory.

Therefore, meeting him directly and transferring his memories to the black pupa via electric current is the most convenient and safest approach for Gu Qiye.

This is to prevent errors from occurring during intelligence transmission and to avoid a series of unnecessary incidents.

At this moment, the memory images transmitted to the black pupa's mind were not blurry.

First, there was the rumbling elevator car descending. Inside the car, Gu Qiye was looking at a tablet computer, and next to him was a white-haired girl named Yu Ruier.

The tablet contained her impressions of each member of Rainbow Wing, along with their abilities, but she only knew the abilities of some of the members.

No. 1: Sail Holly (Code Name: Azure Boat) (China)
No. 2: Ke Qingzheng (codename: Whistleblower) (China)
Number 3: Ruri Urushibara (codename: Thousand Returns Hand) (Japan)
Number 4: Yuriel (codename: Ice Girl) (Iceland)
Number 5: Karina (codename: Polar Scholar) (United States)
Number 6: Hideaki Oda (codename: Last Sword Demon) (Japan)

Number 7: Alexandra Ivanovna (codename: Princess) (Russia)
Number 8: Gu Qiye (codename: Black Flash) (China)
Number 9: 9,999 (Code name: Arms Queen) (Russia)

Number 10: Esther Doolittle (codename: Gothic Doll) (United Kingdom)
Number 11: Garfield West (codename: Overload) (United States)
File #12: Name not disclosed (codename: Father of the Puppet) (UK)
In the file that Gu Qiye remembered, the one that impressed Hei Yong the most was naturally Rainbow Wing's No. 12—the nameless one, "Father of the Puppet".

This nameless man's special ability is to turn deceased people with special abilities into puppets.

Rainbow Wing's predecessor, Number 8, also known as "Machine Soul Bodhisattva" Ajaya, who died in the Sahara Desert, was turned into a puppet by the Puppet Father.

At that moment, Black Chrysalis felt a slight stirring in his heart, and suddenly recalled the information he had extracted from Warden Julius through the "Binding Band Mantra".

"Julius, which members of Rainbow Wings have you met?"

“Urushihara, Ruri, Karina… Oda Hideaki, and one more person, no… no, there should be one more person, I don’t know his name. But he took Ajaya, he took my old friend Ajaya…”

The electric current passed through the brain, but the black pupa remained motionless, hanging upside down in mid-air.

Combining the information he had gleaned from Gu Qiye and Julius, he silently pondered:

"Based on the information leaked by Julius, it can be confirmed that 'Thousand Return Hand' Ruri Urushihara, 'Polar Scholar' Karina, and 'Last Sword Demon' Hideaki Oda are the Salvation Society's spies planted in Rainbow Wing."

"Julius also said that he did not know the name of the last undercover agent, but that undercover agent was related to 'Machine Soul Bodhisattva' Ajaya... And in the old man's memory, 'Father of Puppet' turned Ajaya into a puppet - this was most likely the Salvation Society's arrangement."

"From this perspective, the last undercover agent of the Salvation Society should be Rainbow Wing's No. 12, the Father of Puppetry."

Thinking this, Hei Yong slowly raised her head and saw that Gu Qiye, who had just been sitting on the public wooden bench, had already walked away.
