Chapter 101 The Last Three Members of the Brigade (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)

June 7, dusk.

Unit No. 2 Xia Pingzhou sat up from the attic, supported his right hand on the mattress, and turned his head to look out the window.

The sun was setting in the west, slowly taking away the afterglow that had fallen on Tokyo. Through the attic window, one could see a glass curtain wall dyed bright red.

After washing my face and going downstairs, I saw that the cafe was empty. There was no sign of the girl in kimono or the ninja uncle. Instead, I saw a woman in a bright red dress sitting on a chair in the corner.

She lowered her eyes, quietly sipping her wine. Then, looking closely, she saw it was the brigade's number 9—"Blood Descendant."

The door was open, and the setting sun was shining in. The woman's light golden hair was almost dyed white under the setting sun.

She cupped her cheeks, raised her crimson eyes to look at him, and curled her lips at him: "As expected of a cat, you spend the whole day either lying down and sleeping, or purring and acting coquettishly."

Ji Minghuan walked over, pulled a chair and sat down opposite her, and asked curiously:

"Why are you here?"

"The old lady who pursues love for a long time is here to compete with Miss Kimono Loli for the custody of kitten No. 12." The blood descendant made a joke.

When there's no one around, she doesn't mind calling herself that.

"Then you're too late. The cat has already signed a lifelong foster contract with Miss Kimono Loli."

"Then you better be careful. The contract might include sterilization of the kittens. I've seen every kitten deceived and coaxed into having their claws pressed in. Oh, those bloody claw marks..."

"No more joking, where are Ninja and the young lady?" Ji Minghuan shrugged.

"They went to pick someone up. Three members of the brigade arrived today on a stowaway boat from the harbor." The Bloodline yawned. "The kimono-clad Lolita didn't want to be alone with me, so she went to accompany her housekeeper."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Although we won't gather until five days later, there's no rule that prohibits members from getting together at other times." The Bloodline smiled slightly, "I came here to chat with you."

"I don't talk much. It's boring to chat with me."

The Bloody gestured with his eyes to the thermos behind the counter. "By the way, over there is the steamed oat milk that Oda Takikage made for you. He said he wanted me to remind you when you woke up."

Ji Minghuan picked up the thermos, sat back in his seat, opened the lid and took a sip of milk. The advantage of being a lady's cat is that you can share the housekeeper:

He said he wanted to drink something, so Oda Takikage prepared some drinks for him in advance;

If he wanted to eat something, even if the store didn't have the ingredients, Oda Takikage could turn into a shadow and fly to the supermarket, bringing back the ingredients in less than two or three minutes.

"That's great! Am I really being taken care of like a kitten?" The blood descendant tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.

"I'm not a cat."

"By the way, I heard that you defeated Oda Takikage?" The blood descendant winked at him.

"Who told you that?"

"Of course she's your eldest daughter. Her tone was like a kitten showing off that she kicked the butler with her paws. She didn't feel sorry for the butler at all."

"I can't imagine that she would have any other tone besides speaking coldly?"

"Is that so?" The Bloodborn smiled. "She's the most robotic of the group. Even Robert isn't as artificially intelligent as she is."

Ji Minghuan did not agree, but thought about the competition in the morning.

He did defeat Oda Takikage at that time, but it could also be seen that on the one hand Oda Takikage was careless, and on the other hand Oda Takikage did not use his full strength.

Furthermore, his Tenku has so many mechanisms that it cannot be compared with ordinary exorcists. It is not surprising that Oda Takikage was defeated by him.

If it is a one-on-one game, even if the opponent is a level stronger than him, he still has a chance to defeat the opponent by relying on the mechanism of the chess game.

So it seems... since Oda Takikage is a peak-level Dragon-level psychic, then the current strength of Unit 02 should be that of an average Dragon-level psychic... slightly stronger than Unit 01, but not much stronger.

It's okay, beating Su Zimai up is enough... But I heard from Ke Qirui that Su Zimai was promoted to a second-level exorcist yesterday, so her strength must have increased as well. She may not be able to beat Su Zimai into a pig's head by then, so let's take it one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan took a sip of steam milk.

The Bloodline paused and glanced towards the entrance of the cafe: "Well, aren't they back now?"

Ji Minghuan looked up and saw five figures slowly walking into the cafe.

Their backs blocked the afterglow of the setting sun, and the shadows on the ground were stretched very long by the setting sun. Putting aside Ayase Origami and Oda Takikage, whom he knew, the remaining three people were:

A boy in a blue jumpsuit with dark circles under his eyes, looking about twelve or thirteen years old;

A middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat, a denim jacket and suit pants, his eyes sparkling under the brim of his hat;

The last one was a girl with short blue hair, wearing a T-shirt with rock punk prints and jeans, a pair of sapphire earrings, and sparkling eyes.

"Is this a newcomer?"

The moment the blue-haired girl saw Xia Pingzhou, she immediately pointed at her and asked.

"Yes, Miss Lan Duoduo." Oda Takikage said, "He replaced the previous member who died and is now the new No. 12."

Lan Duoduo pulled a chair and sat next to Xia Pingzhou. He rested his chin on one hand, turned his head to look at him, and gave him a sly smile: "Hello, I am Chinese."

"Chinese people should stop showing off their foreign languages," said Ji Minghuan.

Lan Duoduo immediately changed his tone and said with a smile, "Handsome boy, where are you?"

"I don't understand Cantonese," Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow and turned to meet her childlike bright eyes. "Are you from Hong Kong?"

"That's right." Lan Duoduo frowned, "My name is Lan Duoduo, and I'm number 5 in the brigade."

"Xia Pingzhou, number 12." Ji Minghuan paused, "I thought all the strange news envoys were foreigners."

"There are quite a few whimsical people in China, too. Don't have stereotypes."

Lan Duoduo smiled and bumped him with his shoulder. Ayase Origami came over and said indifferently, "Sit inside, kitten."

Ji Minghuan moved his butt to make a seat for her, and sat at the innermost seat, letting Ayase Origami and Lan Duoduo sit together - in fact, he was not used to Lan Duoduo's outgoing attitude, and the eldest lady came to the rescue.

Lan Duoduo raised his head and looked at the boy with dark circles under his eyes and the man dressed like a cowboy: "You two grown men, why don't you introduce yourselves to the newcomers?"

"Number 8, just call me 'Hacker'. That's what they all call me," the jumpsuit boy said gloomily.

"Number 6, my name is 'Andrew'. This newcomer seems to be very popular. He can even be taken care of by our little sister Ayase..." The cowboy uncle was very happy.

"No. 12, Xia Pingzhou." Ji Minghuan said.

Lan Duoduo laughed and said, "Haha, no need to introduce myself. Actually, we all heard of your name on the road. I heard from the young lady that you defeated Oda Takikage?"

"That's true." Oda Takikage didn't deny it. "Then I'll go prepare the ingredients for dinner. Everyone, please turn over the cafe's business sign first."

As he spoke, he walked out of the bathroom, his figure disappeared into the shadows under his feet.

"I'm so sleepy... I'm going to find a place upstairs to catch up on my sleep. You guys keep your voices down." The hacker boy yawned and went upstairs. He probably wanted to take Xia Pingzhou's mattress.

Andrew pulled up a chair and sat down. The table was so crowded that it was almost impossible to fit anyone else. He said, "Oh my... I didn't expect that this new guy not only has good luck with women, but also has real talent and hard work. He actually beat Uncle Takikage."

The Bloodline took a sip of red wine and said teasingly, "I didn't expect that a kitten that drinks milk would be so powerful."

"My cat." Ayase Origami looked down at the haiku book and emphasized lightly.

"Okay, okay, your cat." The blood descendant didn't care.

"Why do you all seem to have such a good relationship with the newcomers? I only arrived in Tokyo two or three days late, and I can't even make it into the competition." Lan Duoduo smiled, supporting her chin, and her sapphire earrings jingled.

Andrew glanced at the bottle of red wine on the table and licked his lips: "Have a glass of wine, Miss Bloodline."

The Blood Descendant raised an eyebrow, curled his lips, and asked, "I brought this bottle of wine myself. It contains the blood of the mutant 'Ember' whom we killed in France. Are you sure you want to drink it?"

"Hey, what's the big deal?" Andrew remained calm and took off his cow hat. "I haven't tried what wine with human blood tastes like yet. Maybe this is what makes it so good."

"Since you don't usually call me 'old woman', I'll give it to you." The blood descendant took out a glass, poured a bottle of wine, and pushed it to Andrew.

"I've always respected beauties," Andrew smiled. "A beauty is a beauty, no matter her age. When I was a cowboy in the American West, I even dated a woman in her fifties."

"Stop it... so greasy." Lan Duoduo chuckled twice and bumped Andrew's shoulder hard with his elbow.

Ji Minghuan calmly took a sip of steamed milk and asked curiously, "I'm a little curious, what are the abilities of No. 6 and No. 8?"

Andrew took the blood-stained wine and poured it down his throat in one breath. His face turned pale and blue. After a moment, he wiped his mouth and shouted:

"Woohoo, oh yeah, hahahahahaha! Damn, this is awesome! Is this the blood of France's most powerful esper? It's like there's a fire burning in my belly..."

After a while, his raised and slightly trembling eyebrows were finally lowered, and his expression relaxed a little. Andrew pushed the wine glass away silently as if he had lost his life.

He glanced sideways at Xia Pingzhou, forced out a hearty smile and said:

"Brother No. 12, I'm an exorcist just like you."

Lan Duoduo introduced: "This wretched cowboy uncle's Sky Drive is a sniper rifle. He usually likes to hide and shoot from a distance. Don't tell me, when he gets serious, he can shoot through a building."

"What about number 8?" Ji Minghuan asked. He was referring to the boy in a jumpsuit who had just called himself a 'hacker'.

Lan Duoduo said: "The hacker's ability is somewhat complicated, but it is related to network data. If you are interested, you can ask him yourself."

Andrew shrugged, silently drank a sip of boiled water to dilute the excessive alcohol, and then said:
"Number 8? Just a little internet-addicted brat!"

Lan Duoduo said calmly, "But who made this internet-addicted brat the world's most powerful hacker? The leader specially sent Oda Takikage to search half of China, and finally found this little prodigy and brought him into the brigade."

Ayase Origami said expressionlessly, "There are little brats and old ladies. The leader must have considered that by averaging them out, the ecological environment of the members would appear balanced."

The Blood Descendant slammed his wine glass down on the table, looking at her with a smile, his eyes cold: "Ah la... our mafia lady is just not friendly."

Lan Duoduo spoke up in time to stop the quarrel between the two: "Don't destroy Uncle Takiying's cafe, he will be furious when he comes back."

Ji Minghuan interrupted, "I'd rather know who's the strongest in the brigade? Where does Oda Takikage rank?"

The Bloodline thought for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, we all agree that the leader or the Ripper sister is the strongest, Takikage ranks relatively low, and the eldest lady and I are on par."

Lan Duoduo held his chin in his hand and sighed, "Before you came, I was the second to last. Oh... I really want to secretly shoot all these people, damn it."

Hearing this, Ji Minghuan finished the last sip of hot steam milk, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and silently completed the list of members of the White Crow Brigade in his mind.

No. 1: Unknown (Team Leader)
Number 2: Jack the Ripper (the exorcist, whose Sky Exorcist is a dark red knife, "quasi-catastrophe-level", and his combat power is one of the best in the brigade)

Number 3: Ayase Origami (a psychic with the ability to manipulate paper objects, "quasi-disaster-level", with combat power similar to that of a Bloodline)
No. 4: Oda Takikage (a psychic with the ability to hide in the shadows and manipulate them, a "Dragon-level" character whose combat power ranks in the middle of the brigade)

No. 5: Lan Duoduo (Oddity Envoy, holds an unknown number of oddity fragments, "Dragon Level", second to last in combat power in the brigade)

No. 6: Andrew (Exorcist, Tianqu is a "sniper rifle", the specific strength is unknown)

Number 7: Robert (a psychic with the ability to open doors on the wall that connect to different places. A functional member of the group, his strength shouldn't be too strong. He might be the last one in terms of combat)

Number 8: Hacker (a person with special abilities, whose abilities are said to be related to "network data", and whose strength is unknown)

Number 9: Blood Descendant (suspected to be a psychic, capable of controlling her own blood. Her combat power is similar to that of Ayase Origami, so it can be inferred that she is a "quasi-disaster-level")
No. 10: White Wolf (Demon, unknown abilities, should be able to transform into a large dog if nothing unexpected happens, presumably at least "quasi-catastrophic level", upper limit unknown)

No. 11: An Lunsi (a psychic whose ability is to summon a slot machine. It is known that if three "bazooka" icons are drawn from the slot machine, a massive explosion will occur, "quasi-catastrophic level")
No. 12: Xia Pingzhou (the group's favorite, responsible for Meow Meow Meow and finishing off enemies. Without him, the 12-man team wouldn't be complete. "Dragon Level")
Ji Minghuan sat among the group, thinking silently, "Blue Arc is the best among the Quasi-Catastrophe-level warriors. It shouldn't be a problem for him to defeat two Quasi-Catastrophe-level warriors alone. And Dad is even stronger than Big Brother, maybe even reaching the threshold of Catastrophe-level. Not to mention Li Qingping, Big Brother Red Dragon's strength should not be underestimated..."

From this point of view, the paper strength of both sides should not be much different. The defending side still has a bunch of small fry who can be used as cannon fodder. It is hard to say who will win this auction.

The remaining uncertainties only involve two people...

One is the "mysterious guest" mentioned by the organizers;
The other is the brigade commander who has not yet arrived in Tokyo.

What kind of monster this monster leader is will directly determine the outcome of the bloody battle at the auction.
