My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 39 Conflict
08:00 AM Japan time, office entrance in an abandoned office building in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Ke Qirui lowered the brim of his Deerstalker hat, and the corners of his clear eyes slightly raised.

From the shadow of her hat brim, she looked expressionlessly at the working devil who was slowly turning into ashes and dissipating, then looked at the backs of the four members of the brigade.

She then pulled a vintage one-way mirror from her pocket, put it on her left eye, and clipped the chain to the collar of her windbreaker. She said, "I came here to take a look after detecting the demon's presence. It seems someone has done the work for us."

Su Zimai also stared at their backs. She asked, "Captain, are they also exorcists?"

"Probably not." Ke Qirui shook his head.

The one standing here at this moment is Ji Minghuan’s second game character - "Xia Pingzhou", not the number one character "Gu Wenyu".

Naturally, the two of them couldn't recognize him.

But in the memory of the second character, Xia Pingzhou had met Ke Qirui once two years ago.

Both of them are holders of SS-level Sky-Drive. Within the Chinese Exorcist Association, they are both rising stars that everyone is paying attention to. It is hard for them not to know each other.

If Ke Qirui looked carefully, he would recognize that the person in front of him was Xia Pingzhou.

Gazing at the two figures, Ji Minghuan thought secretly in his heart:

"The situation seems a bit dire. If my sister dies at the hands of the brigade, then my 'Black Pupa' will lose a sustainable mainline mission, right?"

Thinking of this, he decided to find a way to let Su Zimai go without arousing suspicion from the other members.

As for Ke Qirui, her life or death has nothing to do with him.

"I'm hungry." Ayase Origami said expressionlessly, "Kill them, and then go eat quickly."

As she spoke, she turned half sideways.

At this moment, Ji Minghuan suddenly said, "I remember the woman in the hat. She's a member of the Exorcist Association. Her Sky Exorcist is a pair of 'retro-style one-way mirrors'... I don't know the other one. Have you heard of her?"

After hearing what Ji Minghuan said, An Luns seemed to remember something.

"An old-fashioned one-way mirror?" He muttered, raising an eyebrow. "Oh... Ke Qirui from the Exorcist Association, isn't she? She's quite famous. The leader knows her and seemed to have considered inviting her to join the group before."

"What's the result?" Ji Minghuan asked.

"The leader didn't say, but it seems she was rejected." An Lunsi smiled. "She later formed an exorcist team called the 'Ghost Train Team', probably named after the 'train demon' she contracted."

Ayase Origami tilted her head and glanced at the two of them without emotion.

She asked, "After all this talk, are you going to kill him or not?"

Robert scratched his mechanical box head and said calmly, "Forget it. The leader said not to cause a commotion before the auction starts. There's no point in us starting a war with these two exorcists here."

Hearing this, Ji Minghuan interrupted and said, "If you agree, I'd like to try fighting with that woman."

After a pause, he added, "But her Sky Drive will cause a lot of noise. If you think it will affect the secrecy of the auction... then forget it."

In his memory, the ability of Ke Qirui's Tianqu 'Retro One-way Mirror' is to directly summon the contracted demon.

This is fundamentally different from other Tianqu - other Tianqu are contracted demons, making the demons become part of the Tianqu, but her Tianqu retains the demon's body and summons them when needed.

Ji Minghuan had tested it with the "restraint detection" in the park last night. Ke Qirui's "retro one-way mirror" contract currently has two demons, the first is the "train demon" and the second is the "movie demon".

Judging from the name "Train Demon", the size of this demon must be quite large. In other words, if they were to fight with Ke Qirui here, Ke Qirui would definitely summon the Train Demon and hold a stalemate with them.

The commotion it caused at that time must have been quite significant, even equivalent to announcing to the entire Japan:
——"The White Crow Brigade has arrived in Tokyo."

An Lunsi shrugged: "That's true... The leader reminded us that if we meet her, don't underestimate her abilities."

"Don't waste time," Robert said, looking away from the two people at the office entrance. "If killing them was to cover our tracks, then fighting them would only cause more noise and have a greater impact."

He paused and said, "Let's go. Don't make the leader angry."

"Then let's go." With that, Ayase Origami was the first to turn around and walk towards the empty corridor.

"Okay." Ji Minghuan said, with a hint of imperceptible disappointment in his tone.

Turning around and leaving with the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Sister, I can only help you up to this point. If they really don't let you go, then we'll be separated forever. It's better to have one less main plot than one less game character.

"By the way, No. 12." An Lunsi followed and put his arm around his shoulders. "So, you used to be in the Exorcist Association?"

"Everyone who awakens the Sky Drive will be invited by the local officials. They also invited me." Ji Minghuan explained without hesitation, "Then I felt it was boring to stay, so I left."

"No wonder you came to us on your own initiative. Do you think it's more interesting to stay in the brigade?" An Luns smiled.

Ji Minghuan didn't bother to answer, and just said, "In a week, we're going to rob an underground auction in Tokyo, right?"

"That's right, that's when the action started," said Anluns.

"No specific plans?"

"The leader usually only tells us five minutes before the operation begins."

"No need to prepare?"

"People with such little execution ability have died a thousand times in our group." An Lunsi smiled. "The captain is very interested in your ability. I hope you can stay with us and die slowly. Don't be like the last No. 12."

Ji Minghuan nodded expressionlessly.

He turned his head and glanced at Ke Su and the other man who were staying in the office, thinking:

"So, what are Ke Qirui and Su Zimai doing in Tokyo? Are they also going to get involved in the auction? With my sister's ability to play in such a high-level game, even if I were to infiltrate the brigade as a traitor... there's no way I could save her."

The four of them walked around the corner and into a dingy, narrow hallway. Robert placed his right hand on the wall and opened a door frame. They turned the doorknob, stepped inside, and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, in an abandoned office.

"Their aura suddenly disappeared?" Su Zimai frowned. When she sensed the hostility, she was about to take out her Tianqu, but she didn't expect them to turn around and leave.

She turned to Ke Qirui and asked, "Captain, who were those people just now?"

"It seems to be someone from the White Crow Brigade..." Ke Qirui whispered.

"what?"

"I've seen a photo of one of them. The little girl in the kimono, she's the eldest daughter of the Ayase family in Japan. Later, she received an invitation from the leader of the White Crow Brigade, left her family, and became a member of the brigade."

"So just now, were they planning to kill us?"

"Yes, I don't know why they didn't take action." Ke Qirui said, "Everyone in the brigade is very strong. If we don't prepare, it will be difficult for us to win."

She thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the concerns of the Japanese Exorcist Association are true. The White Crow Brigade has indeed come to Tokyo and has set their sights on the underground auction organized by the Association in collaboration with several major underworld families."

Su Zimai asked, "Then should we still accept this commission to 'protect the auction from proceeding normally'?"

"Now that we're here, it would be a shame to leave." Ke Qirui rested his hand on his chin. "Let's report what just happened to the association. The Japanese side should further strengthen the security of the auction."

"Who can they possibly call?" Su Zimai sighed, holding his forehead. "Japan's exorcists and psychics are all incredibly weak. There aren't many worth looking at."

"That being said, the Japanese Association can also ask for help from neighboring countries and ask them to send some people over." Ke Qirui raised the corner of his mouth.

Su Zimai frowned and asked, "For example?"

"Blue Arc."

Ke Qirui slowly read out the name.
