Chapter 71 Silence
Chapter 71 Silence
In Shiba Park, tall ginkgo trees line both sides of the remote trails, their branches and leaves forming dense green shade.
The bright lights of Tokyo Tower, not far away, shone diagonally through the gaps between the apricot leaves, casting dappled light and shadows on the stone pavement. As the evening breeze blew, thousands of leaves rustled.
However... in such a pleasant environment, a huge black insect pupa suddenly appeared, hanging upside down under the branches of the ginkgo tree.
The moonlight penetrated the gaps between the leaves and poured down, flowing on the surface of the pupa like mercury, reflecting a cold and eerie luster.
It is so out of place, just like the insect eggs in the movie "Alien" broke into the set of a fresh and artistic film, pulling everyone immersed in the dream back to reality with an extremely aggressive sense of tearing.
Anyone who sees this scene will surely feel a tremor in their heart.
"what happened?"
Seeing the leader suddenly stop, Su Zimai also stopped. She looked up from her phone screen and froze in place.
"This is..." She murmured as a black foreign object was reflected in her shrunken pupils.
Ke Qirui raised his head, staring at the giant pupa hanging upside down on the branch, and slowly recited the other party's name:
"Black pupa."
"Oh... I seem to hear someone calling my name." A faint voice came from inside the giant cocoon, and then the restraint belt that was expanding and spreading outward suddenly contracted inward, sticking tightly to the side of a human figure, slowly rotating around him like a stream of water.
Black Pupa hung upside down under the tree, motionless. After a moment, he raised his right hand, which was bound by the restraints, and in his hand was a copy of "I Am a Cat" in its original Japanese version.
Apricot leaves fluttered and fell, brushing against the sunglasses on his face.
"It seems different from what you see on TV..." Su Zimai looked at him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's indeed different. His mask and windbreaker seem to be gone." Ke Qirui rested his hand on his chin and looked at him with interest from under the shadow of his hat brim.
If the black pupa they saw on TV could be considered a strange man in strange clothes, barely counted as a human being, then the one hanging upside down in front of them was completely a black mummy - his whole body was wrapped in black restraints, even his eyes were not exposed, but he wore a pair of sunglasses, as if to remind others where his eyes were.
"Miss, when in Rome, do as the Romans do." Hei Pupa adjusted his sunglasses and flipped open a book while saying, "I'm cosplaying a Japanese ninja, so I've temporarily thrown away my windbreaker and mask. For now, please call me—'Ninja Version of Hei Pupa'."
"It's so cold." Su Zimai was chilled by this joke.
"After saying so much...you actually use the same voice changer." Ke Qirui joked.
Ji Minghuan curled his lips under the mask and thought to himself:
"Because I removed the voice changer from the mask and put it in my backpack on the plane. It's the only thing you can bring on the plane; anything else would be exposed during security."
He couldn't possibly disguise himself to meet his sister and still speak with his original voice. Given Su Zimai's familiarity with his voice, he would definitely be able to tell if he was just mixing his voice.
Ke Qirui continued, "You really have a lot of leisure and elegance. Every time you appear on camera, you always carry a book with you."
"If I remember correctly... I should have said that I wanted my image to appear in elementary school textbooks."
Hei Pu said nonchalantly as he read, "Reading so many books is obviously good for my public image. People who imitate me in the future will find a book to read, even if it's just for show. When those literary workers include me in their textbooks, if they really have nothing else to praise, they can at least praise me for encouraging young people to develop a good habit of reading."
"I see." Ke Qirui smiled slightly and took out the pipe from his windbreaker pocket.
She raised her head and asked calmly, "So... what does Mr. Black Pupa, who has become so famous recently, want to do with us?"
Black Pupa raised a finger wrapped in restraints and said slowly, "My friend said...some of you seem to want to cooperate with me?"
Hearing this, Ke Qirui put his pipe in his mouth, recalled the conversation in the theater last night, and immediately read out a name:
"Xia Pingzhou?" "That's right..." Hei Pu said jokingly, "But we usually call him 'Chess Player'. Calling him by his first name isn't very romantic, don't you think, Miss Ke Qirui?"
"Who are the 'we' you are talking about?" Ke Qirui seized on the word and asked.
Black Pupa used the straps to adjust his sunglasses, which kept falling, and said quietly, "Who knows? 'We' could be millions of people, or just a lonely little boy. Of course... the most likely scenario is that we never existed and are just the fantasy of a mentally ill person, a hallucination engendered by extreme repression and madness."
"You're talking too much," Su Zimai frowned and asked coldly, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Listening to Hei Pupa's weird tone, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
For some reason, she seemed to dislike people who talked too much, especially Blue Arc and Black Pupa - one of them was decent, the other was an unknown person, and they hit her sore spot precisely.
"Ask her." Hei Pu tilted his head. "Of course... I don't mind cooperating with you, Miss Su Zimai."
After saying that, he raised his sunglasses, avoided the lenses and looked at Su Zimai under the tree - although he did not show his eyes, only the senses of the restraints served as a substitute.
"Why do you know my name?" Su Zimai's voice suddenly became low, his tone almost identical to that of Lan Hu when his real name was revealed.
Black Pupa shrugged: "Because I know what's underneath everyone's mask."
He shook his head and closed the book. "I picked up the wrong book. I should have found one in both Chinese and Japanese. It seems I overestimated my Japanese level."
Ke Qirui was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to Su Zimai and said, "Maimai, I've changed my mind now."
"What's your idea?" Su Zimai met the leader's gaze.
"Your brother is not Blue Arc, but... Black Pupa."
Su Zimai was stunned at first, then narrowed his eyes and stretched out his voice: "Huh? You said this big fluttering moth is..."
Before she could ask, Ke Qirui raised his head and asked Hei Pupa, "You are...Gu Wenyu, right?"
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows under the mask and thought to himself: This woman's intuition is so accurate it's a bit scary. I shouldn't have used the restraints to test her last time. She must have noticed something that day. Fortunately... I still have a backup plan.
Black Pupa was silent for two seconds, then he whistled and turned his head away: "I'm sorry, I don't understand who you are talking about... but I think the little girl next to you should know who he is."
"Really?" Ke Qirui chuckled. "Then why do I feel that you two give me very similar feelings? My intuition has always been very accurate and has rarely been wrong."
She paused, her tone becoming more serious. "Pretending to be deaf and dumb isn't something a smart person would do. Gu Wenyu, take off your mask and let's talk about cooperation."
Su Zimai was stunned listening to this, her mouth open but no sound came out, her brain seemed to have short-circuited. After a moment, she came to her senses, raised her right hand, pointed her index finger at the black pupa hanging upside down under the tree, and turned to Ke Qirui and asked:
"he?"
Ke Qirui nodded.
"my brother?"
Ke Qirui nodded again.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
