My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 79 - 068 Jack

After awakening his superpower, Ji Minghuan had more or less contemplated this question:

——Since I am a restricted superpower user, could my parents possibly not be ordinary people?

After all, observing the situation of Gu Qiye’s family, it was clear: the hereditary genes of superpower users are incredibly strong, even affecting the entire family; in contrast, cases where ancestors lack such genes, yet self-awaken to superpowers, are extremely rare.

However, regarding the term "parents," Ji Minghuan really had no interest, so even though this question still had much to explore, he never delved deeply into it...

Not even once.

"Next time we meet, I’ll tell you about your parents," said the Mentor.

"I don’t care, I just want to know if they’re still alive?" Ji Minghuan said.

"They’re still alive."

"That’s enough."

"Goodnight."

The previous moment the detainment room was brightly lit, the next moment the lights turned off layer by layer from top to bottom.

Footsteps stopped at the doorway, the Mentor’s silhouette standing still in the light from the entrance. He slightly turned his head, peeking through the gap at Ji Minghuan left on the chair.

The door closed, then a prompt box rose in the darkness.

[Currently, there is a change in the development progress of the "Exorcist" branch worldview: 55％→60％]

"What reward would there be if the worldview progress bar reached one hundred percent... Exorcist, never thought there would still be such species in the world, truly insightful."

Ji Minghuan raised his eyes to the worldview development prompt box, contemplating silently in the dark.

"Alive, but haven’t come for me... what’s the difference from being dead?"

Expressionless, he tried to rummage for the faces of his parents in his mind, but not having seen them for years, even their appearances were nearly forgotten, leaving only a vague silhouette and a few blurry scenes.

The mentor suddenly mentioned his parents, indeed catching him unprepared.

But in Ji Minghuan’s understanding, his family now only included Kong Youling.

She is his only family. If the Mentor later intends to use his parents to threaten him, he’d abandon these two people at the first instance. Their life and death are irrelevant to him. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Get some sleep... tomorrow I still have to meet members of the travel brigade." He lay back on the bed.

Gradually, he closed his eyelids, consciousness falling into dreamland.

Precisely because he needs to control three bodies simultaneously, he must ensure ample sleep time to maintain a full Spirit state.

Otherwise... if one day he enters the spiritual world extremely exhausted and looks up to find those two corpses hanged in the library suddenly coming to life, that would indeed cause upheaval.

The night passed silently, the Spirit overly fatigued, causing Ji Minghuan to sleep very deeply this evening.

Not knowing how much time had passed, the annoying ringing of a phone in the darkness woke him.

Having just woken up, still a bit dazed, Ji Minghuan couldn’t discern which of the bodies heard the ringtone, or perhaps it was merely a dream—since entering "full split mode," he’d begun dreaming again.

Subconsciously, Ji Minghuan straightened his body, rising from the plain white bedding.

Surrounded by pitch blackness, he quickly realized his foolishness: how could there be a phone in the detainment room, so he pat his forehead with his palm, "snap," and lay back down.

Then he closed his eyelids, switching to "Gu Wenyu’s" body, pulling out the phone from under the pillow.

The screen displayed only Su Zimai’s barrage of messages, nothing else.

Finally, the second body "Xia Pingzhou" opened his eyes in the hotel room, staring motionlessly at the ceiling.

Lying flat on the bed, the telephone’s ringtone pierced his ears, constant vibrating emanating from the pocket. Quickly extracting the phone from the sweatshirt pocket, he looked down, indeed it was this body’s phone receiving the call.

Thus, relieved, he pressed the answer key, and the annoying ringtone finally ceased.

Ji Minghuan tilted his head, wedging the phone against his ear, uttering a single word: "Who?"

Soon, from the other end of the phone came a cool yet slightly childish female voice.

Recognizable as Ayase Origami’s voice. She said, "Come out, to the abandoned building on the west side of the Harbor District. Originally intended to let you meet Number 4 and Number 9, but didn’t expect Number 10 and Number 2 to arrive first, they said they want to meet you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

It seemed there was no room for refusal, Ji Minghuan scratched his messy hair and turned to look at the dimly lit sky outside the window.

"Might as well die..."

He murmured as he got up and washed up in the bathroom.

Before long, he put on a face mask and left the hotel.

Took the morning train. He leaned against the train window, daydreaming as he watched Tokyo bathe in the first rays of sunlight, while distant rice fields were covered with a dim light, and the breeze from the horizon gently swayed the rice shoots.

Amid the clanging sound of the train, time flowed silently, and before long, he arrived at the meeting location.

Getting off the train, he walked a short distance to a seldom populated abandoned building area, entering one of the deserted buildings. It was a wasteland, with old factory machines scattered everywhere.

On this wasteland sat five figures. Ji Minghuan had seen three of them before. They were:

Member No. 11—"Anluns," a blond-haired, blue-eyed British man, a Superpower User whose ability seemed to be summoning a slot machine; last time, it was him who blew up the underground bar;

Member No. 3—"Ayase Origami," a girl in a reddish kimono, a Superpower User with the ability to manipulate pages of paper, taciturn, as exquisite as a Japanese doll;

Member No. 7—"Robert," a man wearing a mechanical box head, a Superpower User whose ability was to open a "door" on the wall connecting different places.

Besides these three, there were two figures Ji Minghuan wasn’t familiar with.

One of them was wrapped in a beige cloak, with only a head exposed.

He was a man with messy hair and a stubble beard. There was a knife scar above his left eye, and a white haze in his eye, making his gaze seem unfocused.

The other wore a Japanese high school uniform, in light gray tones, with a tie.

She was a girl with black long hair, playing with a short dagger with a dark red hilt, her eyes as dark as a polar night in the Arctic Circle.

Ji Minghuan looked at the dagger, and the information Xia Pingzhou investigated flashed through his mind. The knife’s body overlapped with the "Celestial Driver" in his memory of Jack the Ripper, finally merging with the reality before him—without a doubt, this was the knife.

Jack the Ripper... is a woman? With this thought, Ji Minghuan slightly raised his eyebrows.

[Main mission 2 completed: Locate the whereabouts of the Evil Exorcist—"Jack the Ripper," who killed "your relative."]

[Mission reward received: 1 Skill Point, 1 Attribute Point, 1 Split Point.]

[Main mission 2 has been updated to the second phase: Lay dormant within the White Crow Travel Brigade, looking for the chance to kill Member No. 2—"Jack the Ripper." (Mission Reward: 3 Attribute Points, 3 Skill Points, 3 Split Points)]

Ji Minghuan glanced at the text on the panel, his peripheral focus lingering on the girl in a school uniform.

Today Anluns was still wearing a British-style suit, and he jumped down from the ruins to greet him proactively, placing his hand on Ji Minghuan’s shoulder.

He raised his other hand to point at the long-haired girl, and with a smile, said, "That girl with the straight black hair is ’Jack the Ripper,’ she ranks No. 2 among the members. She is an Exorcist, and her Celestial Driver is that small knife."

He shrugged and added, "Jack the Ripper is a name given to her by others, and Jack is her nickname from gaming. Combined, it’s ’Jack the Ripper.’ She’s quite famous, many outsiders have heard of her name, what about you?"

I? The main mission is to kill her, could I not have heard of her famous name?

Ji Minghuan teased in his heart, though his face showed no expression: "Heard of her."

Anluns nodded, then raised his hand again to point at the cloaked man, introducing: "That cloaked strange uncle over there, we call him ’Bai Tanlang,’ he ranks No. 10 among the members."

"What kind of Power User is he?"

Anluns shook his head, keeping a secret: "He’s neither a Superpower User nor an Anecdote Envoy, much less an Exorcist."

Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows, testingly asked: "Can a Muggle join the White Crow Travel Brigade?"

"No... he isn’t a normal human," Anluns lowered his voice, saying deeply: "He’s a demon."

Ji Minghuan was slightly stunned, softly murmuring: "...A demon?"

"Exactly." Anluns said in a low voice, "He joined the brigade to find his own child; it’s said this guy turned into a human form, had a child with a human woman... later that child ate his woman, he was furious, and left the child behind."

Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Soon he regretted it, but couldn’t find the child anywhere, eventually joined us, saying he wanted to travel the world with us to see if he could find clues about that child."

The information in the words surged like a tide, causing Ji Minghuan’s brain to stall for a second.

Then he slowly turned his head, belatedly looking at the man with the white haze in his eye.

"Bai Tanlang, your child who ate the mom and got lost wouldn’t be named ’Filio,’ would it..." he wondered, "What a coincidence, tomorrow I’m about to see your obedient baby in the lab, oh."
