My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 20 Testing
The cicadas outside the window were chirping desperately, and the hum of the electric fan drove away the non-stop chirping.

The camera on the TV screen cut back to the studio, and the host said while looking down at the script:

"The association spokesperson reminds citizens: If you see anything similar to the black bands in the near future, please stay away immediately and call the emergency hotline to report it. The identity and motive of the 'black pupa' are still under investigation. This station will continue to monitor the situation as it progresses. Next is the weather information."

Hearing this, Ji Minghuan turned his attention away from the TV screen and thought to himself, "While Gu Qiye is still here, I should use the 'Restraint Belt Detection' to see what other abilities Su Zimai has. Maybe I can complete the main quest right away."

Thinking about it, he opened the skill tree panel again to confirm the effect of the skill.

[Restriction Detection (Learned): When you use the restriction to touch the opponent (must be human), a series of his data (attributes, abilities) will pop up in your mind.]

Although he hadn't used it yet, judging from the text, it should only require a touch, he thought.

"Would you like a drink?" Ji Minghuan said, getting up from the sofa.

"Coke." Su Zimai said.

"Row."

Ji Minghuan walked to a corner of the living room, opened the refrigerator door, took out a bottle of Coke from the freezer, and took out a cone of ice cream from the lower freezer layer.

He slowly walked towards Su Zimai, raised the hand holding the Coke, took out the restraint from the cuff of his school uniform jacket, raised his hand, and gently and slowly touched her shoulder from behind.

At that second, the pitch-black restraint belt quickly emerged from the cuffs of the school uniform jacket like a tiny hooked blind snake, and swam through the blood vessels on Ji Minghuan's wrist.

Then, he slowly touched Su Zimai's shoulder.

[Achievement conditions: Touching the target's body, and activating the passive skill "Restraint Detection."]

On the sofa, Su Zimai, who was playing with her mobile phone with her head down, shuddered. It felt like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity suddenly wrapped around her neck.

She was still wondering what had touched her body when she suddenly turned her head and saw a bottle of ice-cold Coke. It had just been taken out of the refrigerator, and the red bottle was still emitting white mist.

At this time, Ji Minghuan had already put the restraint belt back into the sleeve of his coat. In order to divert Su Zimai's attention, he cooled her neck with Coke and then let go.

The can of Coke, as cold as ice, fell from Su Zimai's shoulder like a rock falling from a cliff, and she quickly raised her hand to grab it.

"What's wrong with you?"

She glanced sideways from the back of the sofa, staring coldly at Ji Minghuan, her voice sinking. No one likes being pranked like this, especially since she felt so strange just now, as if she'd been stung by some strange creature.

"Your attitude is so bad even when I help you get the Coke. I won't do it next time." Ji Minghuan said, and then he unpacked the ice cream cone while checking the ability panel generated by the "restraint belt detection".

[Target gender: Female]

[Target Attributes: Strength: D-level; Speed: C++-level; Spirit: B-level]

[Exorcist]

[Class: First Class (Exorcists are divided into three classes)]

[Sky Drive: Magic Hand (Rarity is A-level among Sky Drives) (Currently, this Sky Drive is bound to the Demon: Refrigerator Demon)]

"What the hell is this..." Ji Minghuan was puzzled.

He munched on his ice cream expressionlessly, then opened the quest panel. He saw that the main quest, "Exploring What My Sister Is Hiding," was still unfinished. "Is it because I haven't seen her use her powers, or is it because I'm still unsure of her specific role within the Demon Hunters?" Ji Minghuan mentally analyzed the scene of Gu Qiye bandaging his wound in his living room in combat fatigues last night, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"That's right." Su Zimai suddenly said again.

"what happened again?"

"Dad said he would be back tonight," said Su Zimai.

Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "But he didn't send me a message."

He thought for a moment and murmured, "Then I guess he didn't send a message to my brother, so he only told you?"

"Then you tell your brother later."

"That's fine, but since I heard that Daddy will be back, I might not go home tonight."

"Whatever he wants," Su Zimai said expressionlessly, "but if brother doesn't come back, I'll go live with my classmate."

Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard. They both turned their heads from the sofa at the same time and saw Gu Qiye walking in from the entrance, carrying a heavy shopping bag in his hand. From the outline of the folds, one could vaguely see that it contained boxes of food.

Gu Qiye was playing with his phone in his left hand while lifting the shopping bag with his right hand. He said to the two people on the sofa in a threatening tone, "I'm cooking tonight, so you two kids are not allowed to run around. Wait until after dinner before going out to play."

Ji Minghuan observed his neck. There was no wound on Gu Qiye's neck at this time. There was not even a scar left. It was obvious that he was seriously injured by the ghost bell last night. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the alien's injuries recovered so quickly. Of course... it might also be that the medical care of the Alien Association was more outstanding.

"I understand." Su Zimai replied.

"What about you, Xiaoyu?" Gu Qiye asked Ji Minghuan as he walked towards the kitchen. "Did you hear that?"

Ji Minghuan said nonchalantly: "I won't run around, but someone else will come to dinner tonight."

"Who?" Gu Qiye put the shopping bag on the kitchen table, then raised his eyebrows and turned to ask the two people: "Your classmates? Or friends? Then I have to make a meal that looks good and leave a good impression on them."

"It's Dad." Ji Minghuan said.

The air in the living room suddenly became quiet, and Gu Qiye's expression froze on his face, and he was stunned for a full few seconds.

The reason for his reaction was not only because their father Gu Zhuo had not been home for two years, but also because of... what "Black Pupa" said when he asked to meet him alone last night.

"Aren't you curious? What on earth has your father been doing out there these past two years? Did he really just have a fight with you and doesn't want to see you anymore? Or maybe... your father actually has other plans in mind, and to avoid involving you and your siblings, he had no choice but to run away."

"That's right, regarding the Gu Zhuo case, is he also hiding some unknown secrets like you..."

"Think carefully, is your father really such a coward? How could he be so cowardly as to hide from his own children for two years? Was there some reason that compelled him to do that? Just like you joining the Deviants' Association to learn the truth about your mother's death."

After coming back to his senses, Gu Qiye was silent for two seconds, then whispered to Ji Minghuan:
"Let him come if he wants to."
