My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 310 Brother and Sister, The Black Chrysalis's Deal (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The train demon had not yet reached Osaka, Japan, and the clanging sound enveloped the carriages from all directions.

Outside the train window, a bizarre and surreal scene unfolded. The train was moving fast enough that everything was just a fleeting glimpse, quickly becoming a colorless outline.

Inside carriage number 8, the brother and sister sat quietly in the same row of seats, some distance apart.

"By the way, how long have you been keeping this from me?" Su Zimai asked softly after a long silence.

She touched her red nose, not daring to look up at Gu Wenyu, afraid to recall the embarrassing state she had just been in.

"It's only been a few months. I only recently awakened my superpowers, how long can I keep this from you?" Gu Wenyu said, then suddenly changed his mind, "Okay... actually, I've been keeping it from you since I was born, isn't that amazing?"

He wasn't joking; he was stating the truth. Gu Wenyu was a complete fabrication from beginning to end, merely a paper doll created by his supernatural abilities.

Therefore, Su Zimai's memories are merely the result of a distortion of reality. To say that "it has been kept from her since she was born" is actually not a problem at all.

"You've only awakened your superpowers a few months ago, and you've already become so powerful?" Su Zimai didn't believe it and turned to stare at him.

"Yes, yes, because I'm a genius that's one in ten million... no, maybe one in a billion."

Gu Wenyu nodded while looking down at his book, speaking casually.

Su Zimai subconsciously opened her mouth, intending to say that he was shameless.

But then she thought about it again and suddenly realized that what her brother said seemed to be true. Who else could become so strong right after awakening their superpowers? It was like he had cheated. He was clearly very weak at first, but later he even hung up and whipped the Silver-Eating Rat.

She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and carefully reviewed all the inconsistencies that had arisen so far. Then she asked:

"How did you manage that at the ramen shop?"

"How did you do that?"

"Well... you were eating ramen with us when you ran up to Tokyo Tower and grabbed that 'winged man,' it was being broadcast live on TV!"

"Just a clone," Gu Wenyu said casually.

"Clone?"

Su Zimai was stunned.

"Yes."

As Gu Wenyu lowered his eyes to read, he stretched out his right hand. From the sleeve of his trench coat pocket, the restraints rustled and fell to the ground, piling up into a small hill. Then, they gradually deformed into the outline of a human.

Su Zimai stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then slowly lowered her face, looking at the black humanoid figure with suspicion and surprise.

"How can someone so ugly be a clone?" she murmured. "Wasn't it obvious at a glance?"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized, "Oh, I get it. First, you wrap it up with restraints all over its body, then put on a pair of sunglasses, and then it will look like the way it appeared in front of me and the group leader in Japan."

"I'm so touched, little sister. With your intelligence, you actually thought of this." Gu Wenyu raised his eyebrows and said with admiration, "I thought that with your silly and cute personality, I would have to explain it to you."

"roll."

Su Zimai glanced at him.

"Oh, right, actually I can make it not only pretend to be a 'black pupa'." Gu Wenyu said, a playful smirk playing on his lips, "I can also make it become Dad, I can make it become my older brother..."

After he finished speaking, the face of the restraint belt suddenly changed, sometimes resembling Gu Zhuo'an's unshaven face, and sometimes resembling Gu Qiye's face with a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth.

Su Zimai was completely stunned by what she saw.

“I can also turn it into you,” Gu Wenyu said quietly.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Su Zimai exclaimed in surprise, quickly gesturing with her hands to park the car.

"Okay, forget it."

Seeing that Su Zimai called a stop in time, Gu Wenyu also chose to stop.

He was afraid that Su Zimai would be traumatized and unable to sleep tonight, so she would send him a barrage of text messages to harass him.

As Gu Wenyu turned the pages of the book, a rustling sound filled the air, and the restraints, which had been transformed into a cloud of scorching steam, vanished as if they had never existed.

However, the temperature inside the carriage did rise a bit, with wisps of black steam filling the air.

Su Zimai suddenly realized something, her face turning alert as she clutched her chest with both hands. "Wait...you're not going to turn my clone into me and then do something strange, are you?"

Are you sick?

Gu Wenyu looked up from the book, speechless, and said, "Uh... at most I'll just make my clone look like you, then try on some diapers to see which brand fits your size best."

"roll."

After Su Zimai finished speaking, she suddenly noticed a large pile of diapers in the cardboard box and looked up suspiciously. "Wait, you didn't actually do that, did you?"

"Of course I was joking, I wouldn't be that bored." Gu Wenyu pouted.

"Actually, I was just teasing you," Su Zimai snorted.

"Please don't make weird jokes, okay? At heart, I'm just an innocent elementary school student. Don't corrupt me."

“Mmm, elementary school student, elementary school student.” Su Zimai nodded and said sarcastically.

"By the way, aren't you curious where that box of diapers came from?"

"What do you mean, where did this come from? Didn't you buy it at the supermarket just to annoy me?"

"Of course not, I'm not that bored," Gu Wenyu said disdainfully. "That box of diapers was actually a gift from the supermarket owner."

"It's for you?"

“Yes, back then I was at Lijing Square, didn’t I rescue a group of hostages from Green Wing?” Gu Wenyu said. “One of the hostages was the son of the supermarket owner. I originally just wanted to ask him for a diaper as your birthday present.”

At this point, he smiled proudly, "In the end, to thank me for saving his son, he gave me a whole box of them. I couldn't refuse his kindness, so I had to accept them."

Su Zimai was skeptical, but when she recalled the scene of Black Chrysalis's first appearance, how it treated people's heads like balls and handed guns to hostages, she couldn't help but gasp.

It was the scene she saw on TV that left her with an extremely bad first impression of the black pupa.

She almost thought he was a complete lunatic, but there was no other way to resolve the situation at that time—although Gu Wenyu's actions were extreme, they did help Gu Qiye out of the predicament.

Thinking of this, Su Zimai shook her head and said with a sigh:
"I'm speechless... If it were me, I would have just put a diaper over your head and given you a gift, based on the way you saved people back then."

"So you're the diaper demon, and the boss is a normal person," Gu Wenyu said nonchalantly. "He understands I'm just faking madness, and he's still a good person at heart." Su Zimai thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Wenyu speechlessly. "Speaking of which, during the auction, wasn't it you who had Xia Pingzhou watch me get beaten up?"

“Oh, really,” Gu Wenyu said. “Back then, I was afraid the other members would easily defeat you, so I had Xia Pingzhou keep an eye on you. He’s my collaborator, and he’s the only one who would go easy on you.”

"Then I really thank you. You're such a good brother to me." Su Zimai sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"You're welcome, Diaper Demon became famous in one battle."

"Still in diapers, still in diapers, when will this ever end!" Su Zimai snapped. "You promised me ages ago that you wouldn't play this joke again!"

"Okay, okay, I'll make fewer jokes like that in the future."

As Gu Wenyu was speaking, he suddenly remembered something, so he looked up at her and asked curiously, "By the way...didn't I explain the clone thing to Ke Qirui before?"

"Is there any?"

"Yes, Ke Qirui recorded our conversation on a voice recorder. Didn't you listen to it?"

After speaking, Gu Wenyu gestured with his chin to the recording pen in Su Zimai's hand.

Su Zimai shook her head, glanced down at the recorder, and said, "I only listened to half of what was in that recorder before I stopped listening to it."

"why?"

She was silent for a moment: "Because I want to find the answer myself from you; the commander's question to you doesn't count."

"Oh, so it's that 'you are only you in my eyes' kind of thing. We really have a deep brother-sister relationship. My tears are about to fall." Gu Wenyu said calmly.

“Who’s so close to you as a sibling? Elementary school students have to call you ‘older sister’,” Su Zimai said coldly.

“Okay, sister,” Gu Wenyu said without hesitation.

"good."

Su Zimai was completely satisfied.

Gu Wenyu thought for a moment, "By the way, little sister, remember to keep this a secret from Dad and your older brother."

"Why?" Su Zimai asked, puzzled. "Don't they know you're the Black Chrysalis?"

“Yes, so listen to me.” Gu Wenyu nodded. “I don’t want them to know my identity for now. Don’t ask why yet; I’ll tell you later.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"It's a promise, okay? You're not allowed to betray me." Gu Wenyu said softly, turning his head to stare into her eyes, then reaching out to touch the top of her head and ruffle her hair.

Surprisingly, Su Zimai didn't slap his hand away; instead, she moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder.

To be honest, he had never seen such an obedient younger sister since he was born; she was like a completely different person.

Su Zimai closed her eyes. The train was still rumbling forward. In the swaying carriage, she felt warmth on Gu Wenyu's shoulder.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "I won't tell Dad and my older brother, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Gu Wenyu asked.

“I know you’re going to avenge Mom, and I know I’m too weak to help you,” Su Zimai said softly. “So, you must come back safely, and bring your older brother and the others with you.”

So she already knew her father's identity? Gu Wenyu wondered.

"I know, I'll make sure they get back safely," he said calmly. "Have I ever lied to you?"

Can I hug you again?

"Isn't that cheesy? Are you in elementary school?"

"I'm afraid you won't come back."

"Please don't curse me, okay?" Gu Wenyu said, putting down his book and giving her a hug. "You should also be careful. The Salvation Society is still watching you."

After a long silence, Su Zimai responded softly, "Mm."

She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Gu Wenyu placed her on the seat, using the restraint straps to form a pillow for her to rest her head on, and then silently turned his head to look at the entrance of the carriage.

The car door connecting to the passageway was opened, and Ke Qirui walked in.

"How did your conversation go?" she asked.

"You had a good chat," Gu Wenyu said, giving him a disdainful look. "But I really do thank you for making sure my little sister found the recording."

“I just don’t want to let her down. If Mai Mai knew that her brother died so inexplicably, she would regret it for the rest of her life.” Ke Qirui took a drag of her cigarette. “That’s the kind of person she is. At least I hope you can talk to her first.”

After speaking, she lowered her eyes and glanced at Su Zimai, who was sleeping on the chair.

"It doesn't matter," Gu Wenyu said. "I'm relieved that she's not following us."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are we almost in Osaka?"

“Yes.” Ke Qirui nodded. “After dropping you and Mu Long off in the car, I took Xiaomai back to Lake Hunting.”

Gu Wenyu turned to look out the window. "Speaking of which, what would happen if someone accidentally got caught in the temporal turbulence of a time tunnel?"

"What do you mean, how?" Ke Qirui raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the hazy scene outside the car window.

"literal meaning."

“If you get caught in a spacetime turbulence, you’ll never come back, just like being swallowed by a black hole,” Ke Qirui said calmly. “That’s why I always keep the carriage doors very tight.”

"I can rest assured that."

As Gu Wenyu spoke, he turned his gaze away from the window. He looked up at Ke Qirui and said, "If things get out of control, for example, if an unmanageable monster appears on the island, then I might ask you for a favor."

"Wow, you're one of my most important clients. You're always welcome to visit me."

Ke Qirui seemed to understand what he meant, so she put away her pipe and gave him a smirk.
