My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 84 - 073: Free Gift

At noon on this day, Ji Minghuan controlled the body of Unit One, "Gu Wenyu," and recorded a series of voice notes using a mobile phone inside the hotel.

As time moved to evening, Su Zimai sent a text message, informing Ji Minghuan of her location. Upon receiving the message, Ji Minghuan immediately left the hotel.

He wrapped his body with the Pitch Black Restraint, flew to the hotel where Unit Two was located, and handed over Gu Wenyu’s phone to Unit Two.

Then, he swung along with the restraint belt towards Shiba Park and stopped by a mobile phone shop on the way.

He used the restraint belt to pick up a phone to play games and casually took a copy of "I Am a Cat" placed on the counter by the owner as a free gift for buying the phone in full. The owner must be very pleased.

Finally, maintaining the Color Change state, he silently entered the park and wrapped himself into a giant cocoon, hanging from a tree. He used Restraint Sensing to listen to the surroundings, quietly waiting for Su Zimai and Ke Qirui to arrive.

Of course... if he didn’t encounter them for a long time, he would have to switch to another tree.

As the saying goes, "Ten minutes on stage takes ten years of practice," the scene was quite comical.

......

.....

Three minutes earlier, in another corner of Tokyo.

In a dimly lit hotel room, Ji Minghuan, controlling the body of Unit Two, "Xia Pingzhou," picked up the phone left by Black Cocoon, connected it to the computer via USB, and uploaded the series of recorded voices to a local folder.

Then he opened the phone’s contact directory, found Su Zimai’s number, and clicked to dial.

Staring at the densely packed recording files in the folder, Ji Minghuan’s thoughts began to wander.

Even though Ji Minghuan considered himself to know Su Zimai very well, he could almost predict every word she would say in the call, feeling that he was unlikely to be exposed.

But to be cautious, he recorded more than 100 recordings to deal with various situations.

When the call connected, Su Zimai’s voice came through:

"Big brother? You finally stopped playing dead?"

In the dim light, Ji Minghuan’s cheek was illuminated by the computer screen.

He brought the phone closer to the computer speaker, then clicked on the fifth recording with the mouse, and Gu Wenyu’s voice came out: "Hey... can you stop bothering me?"

"I just wanted to drag you out to play," Su Zimai complained. "You’re the annoying one, not answering calls or messages all day. I was almost worried you’d been taken by the Japanese mafia to be a host."

Hearing this, Ji Minghuan used Xia Pingzhou’s fingers to click the third recording.

Then Gu Wenyu’s voice came through the computer speaker again: "Who was it last night who played a prank that got me in trouble?"

"You’re the sick one, actually telling my teacher you’re gay... When she told me, I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Will you be responsible if I have to go to the hospital?"

Su Zimai said indignantly.

Ji Minghuan clicked the fifteenth recording: "So what exactly do you want?"

"Are you coming out to play tomorrow afternoon? I’ll treat you to Japanese food. If not, the day after is fine too."

"Seeing how sincere you are, then tomorrow night it is."

Su Zimai was silent for a while: "Alright... by the way, let me tell you, I feel like the teacher misses you so much she’s going crazy. Now she sees someone on the street and thinks it’s you. Just now, she was calling your name to a beetle on a tree. I suggest you come to heal her heart, or your good sister is going to die."

"Idiot."

Ji Minghuan played the final recording, leaving a concise two-word remark.

Then he hung up the call, turned off the hotel’s computer, lay down on the soft bed, closed his eyelids, and focused his consciousness on Unit One, "Black Cocoon."

At the same time, Su Zimai, in the Silent Street, closed her phone and was silent for several seconds, deeply exhaling and staring blankly at the black and white street.

The place felt oppressive, and she was unwilling to stay long.

"I told you... My brother couldn’t possibly be the big fluttering moth; the captain is too annoying."

Thinking this, she marched angrily out of the movie screen, with a cold face, back on the path in Shiba Park, and explained to Ke Qirui.

"So, since we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding between us, shouldn’t we have a proper discussion now?" asked Black Cocoon.

Ke Qirui said, "Of course, I made a wrong judgment before, and I apologize for that."

Su Zimai muttered under her breath, "Captain, you must really like my brother, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You jump to conclusions, telling people they’re him on sight. Earlier, when you said he was Blue Arc, it was reasonable. Now you say he’s a big fluttering moth, I’m genuinely impressed... Almost asking him to commit seppuku on the spot and take off the mask."

For goodness’ sake, if you commit seppuku, then I really should take off the mask. How am I supposed to play without a central plotline?

Black Cocoon thought silently, then said to the two,

"Let me first clarify my cooperative terms: if there’s any information about ’Traffic Lights,’ please share it with me... My friend is interested in it."

Ke Qirui thought for a moment: "The friend you mentioned is called ’Xia Pingzhou,’ right?"

She had investigated Xia Pingzhou’s background yesterday. Xia Pingzhou had joined an Exorcist team, and a friend in the team, ’Traffic Lights,’ suddenly went into a Frenzy, slaughtering all the team members before vanishing. This led to Xia Pingzhou leaving the Exorcist Association.

"It seems you know him quite well." Black Cocoon said noncommittally.

Ke Qirui slowly said, "He is a pitiable person, blinded by obsession, ensnared by a series of misfortunes."

"I believe... Mr. Chess Player is not someone who likes to be pitied, so you’d better not approach him with that saintly, world-saving mentality." Black Cocoon paused, "Do you think he’s blind? Or a fool? How could he not be aware of the dangers and trials his choices will face, and your actions might very well kick him into the abyss."

"I just want him to return to our fold," Ke Qirui sighed. "It’s the safest path for him. With his talent and potential, it won’t take many years for him to become a top Exorcist. At that point, seeking revenge on the White Crow Travel Brigade might be a more prudent choice."

"But you know that’s impossible."

Ke Qirui took out a smoking pipe from her pocket, putting it in her mouth, "So, what’s your relationship with Xia Pingzhou?"

Black Cocoon shrugged, rather pleased, "Mr. Chess Player and I are old acquaintances. In a sense, it was I who helped him get the contact information for the leader of the White Crow Travel Brigade; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to join the brigade."

"So, you’re the culprit." Ke Qirui said.

"So, will you cooperate with me?" Black Cocoon tucked the phone back into the restraint belt and looked up at Ke Qirui, "If you cooperate with me, I can provide you with information on the White Crow Travel Brigade..."

He paused: "Of course, the premise is that it doesn’t endanger Mr. Chess Player’s situation. Please understand, if I provide you with too much information, his situation will become perilous."

"I understand your point; once considered a mole, he will be immediately executed by the brigade members."

After a pause, Ke Qirui looked up from the pipe and said to Black Cocoon, "I can cooperate with you, but there’s a prerequisite."

"What’s the prerequisite?"

"You must first answer a question for me."

Black Cocoon nodded: "Of course, you can ask, Miss Ke Qirui; if it is something I know, I will certainly answer truthfully."

Ke Qirui curled her lips, and calmly inquired,

"Gu Wenyu... is Blue Arc, right?"

She put away the pipe, "My guess is that you also have a cooperative relationship with Blue Arc—because of this, when I suspected you were Gu Wenyu, you immediately contacted him in some way, and let him call his sister to clear up our misunderstanding. Otherwise... it can’t explain why the call came so timely."

Su Zimai was taken aback.

Black Cocoon was silent for quite a while.

Then, in a serious tone, he said: "Oh oh oh... I didn’t expect you to discover this, truly unbelievable, you have sharp eyes, Miss Ke Qirui." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, almost articulating word by word,

"That’s right, your brother... is Blue Arc."
