My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 90 Performance (Part 3)

"So... my brother isn't a Blue Arc after all?"

Inside the Kawasaki Ramen Restaurant, Su Zimai muttered to himself, as if he was in another world.

"Correct."

Ke Qirui looked at the photo of Lan Hu on his phone and nodded.

She turned to look at Su Zimai and said unhappily, "From what I've seen now... what Hei Pupa said yesterday about Lan Hu being your brother was probably just a joke."

"I told you... trusting that big bastard is definitely the stupidest thing we have ever done in our lives." When saying this, there was no anger in Su Zimai's tone.

Instead, there seemed to be a hint of relief, relief that he had been deceived by the black pupa.

Ke Qirui thought for a moment: "But the problem is... even if Gu Wenyu is not a Blue Arc, he is most likely a mutant."

"Captain, are you trying to say my brother is that big moth again?"

Su Zimai curled the corners of her mouth and pointed at the Tokyo Tower on TV with a somewhat amused look: Hei Pupa had just jumped from there, and his life or death was uncertain - of course she hoped that Hei Pupa would fall to his death under the Tokyo Tower, but unfortunately it was difficult.

"No, haven't we verified this?" Ke Qirui smiled at her.

For some reason, Su Zimai was suddenly stunned.

Her heart was beating very fast, as if a thousand little people were kicking and tapping against her heart.

It was not until this moment that she finally regained her composure. The worries of the past few days vanished, as if a huge rock had fallen from her heart, clanging and rolling into the abyss.

Su Zimai hung his head, was stunned for a while, and then a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She seemed a little happy...happy that her brother did not lie to her.

I told you, I've already told you my identity honestly, how could you possibly be hiding something from me?

We are family...

When she came to her senses, Su Zimai found that Ke Qirui was staring at her.

To cover up her daze, she quickly made a joke: "Well... I was worried that Xu Sanyan was following me for a long time, but I found out that my brother suddenly went into a male escort club and asked a man to accompany him for a night of partying."

After a pause, she jokingly said:
"If I knew my brother was actually gay, it would be more terrifying than knowing he was a Blue Arc, right?"

"Alright, stop insulting your brother... We've wronged him for so long, how pitiful is he?"

After saying that, Ke Qirui put on the Deerstek hat that was placed aside and said softly, "Let's go, Mai Mai, let's go to the branch building and meet the real Blue Arc."

"Ah."

Su Zimai nodded.

Having said this, Ke Qirui paid the bill with the waiter and called a taxi outside the ramen restaurant.

After getting in the car, the two said something to the driver, and the car drove towards the official building of the Exorcist Association, gradually dissolving into the ocean of neon signs.

At the same time, on the other side of Minato Ward, Tokyo.

Ji Minghuan controlled the No. 1 machine, the Black Pupa, and followed behind Xu Sanyan, flying under the moonlight with the help of the restraint belt, circling around rooftops, billboards, and the tops of telephone poles.

In a moment, he followed Xu Sanyan all the way to the first floor of the Japan Exorcist Association building.

Hei Pupa looked up and saw that it was just an ordinary office building - this was because the "Exorcist Association" was different from the "Strange Walker Association" and was not an entity that would appear in the public eye.

Because of this, if Ji Minghuan wants to find the Japanese branch building of the Exorcist Association, he must follow Xu Sanyan.

When Xu Sanyan arrived, Ke Qirui and Su Zimai just got out of the taxi.

The three met and greeted each other.

Unfortunately, after they entered the association building, they did not see a man in a cyan-blue uniform, only the president.

The white-haired, fifty-year-old president of the Japanese branch, dressed in a yellow kimono, with his hands clasped behind his back, explained with a smile, "Mr. Lan Hu left first. He said he'll come back tomorrow after all the bodyguards are assembled. There's no need to rush."

Although Ke Qirui was a little disappointed, he still smiled and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

As she spoke, she glanced at the absent-minded Su Zimai: "Maimai, it's late today, let's go back and rest."

"Oh...it's all in vain." The black pupa following above their heads sighed.

Although he didn't get to see the funny scene of Gu Qiye and Su Zimai meeting each other, Ji Minghuan thought: at least I can know which hotel Ke Qirui is staying in, so he remained invisible and followed Su Zimai all the way.

A moment later, the black pupa stopped on the branch of a ginkgo tree beside the road, squatting like a cat, squinting at the plaque on the top of the five-star hotel.

"Qing Benhua Hotel."

Under the mask, Ji Minghuan silently memorized its address and name. He then raised his right arm, stretched out the restraints, and wrapped them around the traffic light sign on the highway. Grabbing the dark restraints, he leaped into the air under the moonlight.

Soon, Black Pupa returned to the Roppongi Hotel.

He shrank his body and entered the dimly lit room through the open floor-to-ceiling window.

Glancing sideways, he could see his restraints avatar sitting on the bed in a daze, holding a room card in his hand.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ji Minghuan untied the restraints that wrapped around his entire body, walked over, and symbolically expressed his condolences to the other "Gu Wenyu". Then the restraints hissed and turned into a hot gas and dissipated.

The room card fell to the ground with a "click".

He picked up the room card on the ground with a restraint, stretched it to the door, and put the door into the card slot.

The orange and yellow lights in the high-end king-size room lit up one by one, dispelling the cold darkness.

Ji Minghuan sat down on the soft bed, hunched over, and breathed a sigh of relief: "This way, I've finally cleared myself of suspicion."

He slumped back with relief and lay directly on the bed.

"Go to bed early today...My mentor might come over tonight and tell me about my parents. Even if he doesn't come, I still have to go to the Ghost Clock tomorrow night to recharge my batteries."

Not long after he closed his eyes, Ji Minghuan fell into a deep sleep.

A night of silence.

The next day, at the Roppongi Grand Hotel in Tokyo, Japan.

When Unit No. 1 opened its eyes, Ji Minghuan saw that the time on the wall was 7:30 in the morning.

At the same time, the first rays of sunlight streamed in through the high-end curtains and shone onto the red floor.

"Didn't the teacher come to see me last night..."

Ji Minghuan stared at the ceiling for a while, then slowly got up from the bed.

On July 15th, he had nothing to do the whole day, or rather, there was really nothing to do.

On the main body's side: When no one came to visit, the prison cell was still deserted, so Ji Minghuan got out of bed and picked up some food from the plates that the experimenters had placed on the floor. After filling his stomach, he lay back on the bed and continued to sleep;

As for Xia Pingzhu: Since he hadn't received any news about the leader's arrival in Tokyo, he had no choice but to stay in the cafe, drinking coffee, chatting with Ayase Origami and Oda Takikage, and occasionally acting as a waiter in the shop, passing white sugar and books to customers. It seemed quite pleasant.

In the end... only Gu Wenyu was left, and some things were still pending.

Because on that night, Ji Minghuan made an appointment with Gu Zhuoan to meet on top of an abandoned building near Tokyo Bay.

Time is like sand flowing through fingers, slipping away silently.

At dusk, the setting sun slowly took away the afterglow scattered on the earth, and neon lights rose up all over Tokyo like fallen dominoes.

Another night came, and with it a sudden rainstorm.

It was as if a floodgate suddenly opened above the clouds, and tens of millions of tons of rain poured down.

The raindrops drifted between the streets and alleys and the cables of high-rise buildings, drawing clear parabolas and finally hitting the earth violently.

The wind howled and the thunder rumbled...

A terrifying flash of lightning could be seen across the sky, even lighting up the clouds.

At this moment, on the top floor of an abandoned building around Tokyo Bay.

Black Pupa was hanging upside down motionlessly below the ceiling, holding an educational book titled "How to Get Rid of the Negative Influence of Your Original Family" in his hand.

With the help of a little neon light from the window, he lowered his eyes and quietly flipped through the book.

Faced with a ruthless character like "Ghost Bell", he was too lazy to put on airs and wrap himself up like a giant cocoon - that would not have any deterrent effect at all, but might instead become a fuse to irritate the other party.

Amid the rustling sound of rain, Hei Pupa glanced sideways at the city of Tokyo engulfed in the rain. The Rainbow Bridge across Tokyo Bay was still brightly lit, and the traffic flow formed a dragon of light.

At this moment, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye a figure appear in the middle of the floor - with a "boom", lightning flashed across the sky, and the fleeting light illuminated his figure.

The black pupa was stunned for a second, then slowly turned his head and looked forward.

The uninvited guest was wearing a breathing mask with a metal Z engraved on it and a long black cloak. The long cloak wrapped around his whole body, hiding his figure in the darkness, but it could not cover up the red light flashing in his pupils.

He slowly walked towards the black pupa, and each step seemed to be accompanied by the roar of a bronze bell...

The rain is still falling and the world is silent.
