Chapter 102: The Two of Hongyi, the Leader’s Gift (Third Update, Asking for Monthly Tickets)

In the brightly lit cafe, the fan was turning slowly, blowing on Xia Pingzhou's face, and his black hair was blown up by the wind.

One or two passers-by stopped on the street, as if wanting to knock on the glass door, but when they looked up and saw a "Close" sign hanging on the door, they had to turn around and leave regretfully.

"How did the previous No. 12 of the brigade die?"

Ji Minghuan asked as he scooped coffee with a spoon and looked at the group members sitting at the table.

Andrew took a deep puff from a cigarette, shrugged, and said, "That guy was unlucky. He met someone from Rainbow Wing during his vacation and was killed... We were not there at the time, and no one could save him."

Ji Minghuan thought for a moment and said with regret, "The average person in Hongyi is a disaster-level monster. There's really no way we can deal with them."

"So, the last number 12 was unlucky," said Andrew.

Ji Minghuan took a sip of coffee with sugar and asked casually:
"Speaking of which... do you know who the specific members of Rainbow Wing are?"

Lan Duoduo draped his arms behind the chair, looked up at the TV, and said nonchalantly:
"The hacker knows. He found out the identities of two Rainbow Wing members. He said that Rainbow Wing number 12 seems to be the Indian [Machine Soul Bodhisattva] - Ajaya; number 10 is the British [Gothic Doll]. Her name is a bit long, Esther or something, I forgot."

Machine Soul Bodhisattva, Gothic Doll...

Ji Minghuan remained calm and silently memorized the two disaster-level code names in his mind - maybe one of them was the murderer who killed the mother of Gu Wenyu's family.

Inside the cafe, a TV was hanging from the ceiling, and the anchor of Tokyo News was reporting a news story:
It tells the story of a supernatural being named "Black Pupa" from China who fought off the "Wing Man" at the Tokyo Tower the night before and helped "Yingwu" rescue the hostages.

Ji Minghuan was attracted by the broadcast sound and silently looked up at the dark, mummy-like figure.

When the Blood Descendant saw the black pupa on TV, she immediately lowered her red eyes and put down her wine glass. She said:
"Seeing this bug-like person...it's really disgusting. I don't even feel like drinking anymore."

She paused for a moment, a playful smile on her lips: "Our little cat is still fun to look at." As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Xia Pingzhou.

Ji Minghuan was too lazy to pay attention to her and just gave her a blank look in his heart.

He always felt that he was the group's favorite, and his bloodline played a big role. It was all because of this woman who thought he looked like the dream lover she had been looking for for a hundred years, so she subconsciously developed a liking for him.

In the end, she called him "kitten" in front of Ayase Origami, which led to the current situation getting out of control.

As if to oppose the blood descendants, Ayase Origami didn't want to see him following the blood descendants.

The gangster's daughter was quite childish in this regard, which was in keeping with her age—it was basically a childish belief that "I must not give away something that someone I hate wants." So, she didn't necessarily think Xia Pingzhou was a cat, but simply didn't want to see the bloodline happy.

To be honest, Ji Minghuan really couldn't understand whether the relationship between the two was good or bad.

However, for a gangster lady like Ayase Origami who lacks common sense, she may not have a clear boundary between "hate" and "like", but more of a boundary between "kill" and "cannot kill".

"My cat..." Ayase Origami closed the haiku collection, "You are not allowed to look at it."

"Cats are raised to be looked at by people." The Bloodline laughed.

"That's great... I also want to be the cat of these two young ladies." Andrew raised his eyebrows and said with emotion.

Lan Duoduo scratched the blue hair on his forehead and glanced at him sideways: "You are obviously a stud horse who is in heat everywhere. What does it have to do with cats?"

"plus one."

Ayase Origami didn't even look up as she used the napkin to write words in the air.

Lan Duoduo held his chin up and saw "Black Pupa" on TV sitting on the railing of the exhibition stand and painting.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, right... the hacker told me: A few days ago, the team leader chatted with him on the phone about this guy called 'Black Pupa'."

"Captain?"

The Blood Descendant tilted his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his crimson eyes, "Captain, are you interested in such a minor character?"

Lan Duoduo nodded. "Yes, the hacker said the leader is interested in Black Pupa and wants to recruit him into the brigade, but he can't find Black Pupa's contact information yet."

She thought for a moment, "Maybe he's attracted by this bandaged freak's abilities. He seems to be able to suppress other people's abilities. If we can make good use of this ability, many difficult opponents will become wild dogs... But think about it from another perspective. If this bandaged freak stood against us, and he tied up all of you freaks, wouldn't you just sit and wait for death?"

Haha, my restraint belt can not only suppress superpowers, but also has an effect on abilities of other systems.

Ji Minghuan added in his heart.

"You talk as if he has that chance." The Blood Descendant disagreed.

"Trash." Ayase Origami glanced at the black pupa and commented in an emotionless voice.

Andrew sighed and said, "Are you kidding me, Lan Duoduo? The most important thing is that we're already full. Adding that weirdo would only damage our image!"

He paused and said, "The minimum number of members should be handsome uncles like me, and the next best thing should be pretty boys like newcomers."

Andrew patted Xia Pingzhou's shoulder and took a look at his handsome face. "Isn't that right, No. 12?"

Ji Minghuan took a sip of coffee and remained silent.

"It's okay. One more member won't hurt anything. And who knows... the new guy might just die at the auction in a few days." At this point, Lan Duoduo gave a sly smile. "That's not funny."

Ji Minghuan raised his eyes from the cup and said calmly.

He thought to himself, if a No. 2 unit dies and a No. 1 unit joins the brigade, then it’s still me, isn’t there any difference?
"The kitten won't die as long as I'm here." said Ayase Origami.

If there weren't so many people around, Ji Minghuan would have already started "meowing".

At this moment, Oda Takikage suddenly emerged from the shadows behind Lan Duoduo, carrying a large bag of food.

He turned and walked into the kitchen connected to the cafe. Everyone in the group was already used to this scene, and their faces showed no particular expression as they chatted about their own things.

Looking up at the TV, the news anchor played a clip in which Hei Pupa used cartoon drawings to promote the positive image of the Chinese alien "Swallowing Silver" to the Japanese people.

For a time, the words "swallowing silver" were on the hot search of the Japanese version of TikTok, as well as Twitter, and stayed on the hot search for a whole day and night before the popularity began to decline.

"Oh yes... a year ago, Andrew and I fought against this silver-swallowing little rat in Hong Kong." Lan Duoduo mentioned.

"Swallow Silver seems to be... Dragon level?" Ji Minghuan murmured.

Lan Duoduo tilted his head and said disapprovingly, "That's what the association's official website says, but I feel like it's just marketing hype. This guy is only worth a relatively powerful Kui level, right?"

"So who won in the end?" Ji Minghuan asked curiously, "You or Tunyin?"

Lan Duoduo frowned, feeling looked down upon. She snorted coldly and said:
"Of course, he was beaten to his knees by my big snowman. Hong Kong is my territory."

"Then why didn't you kill him?" The Blood Descendant took a sip of red wine, raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "He's still so lively now."

"Because that Blue Arc guy rushed over," Andrew took a sip of his wine. "We had no choice but to run. Oh my god, we almost couldn't get away... That guy was really fast! Luckily, I had a sudden inspiration and used my gun to knock down several aerial work platforms that were under construction. That Blue Arc guy didn't stand stalemate with us, but went to rescue people. Otherwise, the outcome would be hard to say."

"Blue Arc..." Ji Minghuan pretended to be nonchalant, "I haven't met him yet."

"It's almost time to eat, please tidy up the table." Oda Takikage's voice came from the kitchen.

Andrew put out his cigarette and grinned, "Okay, okay, I'm starving. I haven't tasted No. 4's cooking in a while. The last time was when we were robbing a military supply transport ship in Italy."

"But I'm almost full from drinking. You guys eat, I'll leave first." The blood descendant smiled slightly, put down his wine glass, stood up from the table, pushed open the glass door and left. The wind chimes tied to the door were still clanging.

"Newcomer, please go upstairs and call the hacker." Lan Duoduo was playing with his mobile phone and patted Xia Pingzhou's shoulder without raising his head.

"Oh."

Ji Minghuan responded casually, stood up from the table, and walked up the circular staircase.

After going up to the attic, he saw the hacker sitting on the windowsill playing with his phone. The moonlight fell, illuminating the boy in the jumpsuit's childish face.

"Newcomer, the leader wants me to give you a gift." The hacker suddenly said.

"what gift?"

"Do you have a cell phone?" The hacker curled his lips and looked up at Ji Minghuan.

"Here you go." Ji Minghuan casually tossed the phone to the hacker. There was nothing important inside anyway. He had been prepared for being monitored from the beginning. There was no way he was leaving any clues on the phone now, and there wouldn't be any way he would leave any clues in the future.

This is especially true after learning that there is a "prodigy hacker" in the brigade.

The hacker took Ji Minghuan's phone, turned it on, and said after a while, "OK."

He threw the phone back and Ji Minghuan caught it.

When I opened the screen, I saw a new software with a black skull pattern on the homepage.

"What is this?" Ji Minghuan asked.

Without even looking up, the hacker replied, "I hacked into the Exorcist Association's internal system. After they detect the presence of a demon using a special instrument, they upload the demon's location to the private system of the Exorcist website. This allows every Exorcist with the system to see the demon's location. It also displays the Exorcists assigned to carry out the extermination mission."

"Oh, so I can use this software to find out where demons appear in Tokyo?"

"It works not just in Tokyo, but in any city around the world," the hacker said. "I'll help you update the system regularly to prevent you from being caught by the Exorcist Association."

This thing sounds really useful. Tomorrow I'll have Ayase Origami and Oda Takikage take me to kill monsters and level up.

Hold on to the thigh of the underworld lady and see if you can upgrade Xia Pingzhou's Tianqu "Chess" to the second level before the auction starts.

This way, you can contract a new demon.

The key is that this system can also be used to gain insight into the movements of the Exorcist Association, so there is no need to worry about running into exorcists like Ke Qirui who are directly under the association while eliminating demons, as happened last time.

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan silently put his phone into his pocket. He looked up at the hacker and said:

"Thank you. Please tell the leader: I like this gift very much."
