My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 44 News
July 11, 11:30 am, Lijing, Guyimai Residential Area.

The rain gradually subsided, and white mist climbed up the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room like a gecko.

Ji Minghuan lay on the soft bed with his arms as a pillow, staring out the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.

He stared at the city scene shrouded in rain for a while, with no expression on his face.

With a tapping sound, bean-sized raindrops slid down from the window, swirling and falling towards the billboard on the street.

The blood-stained windbreaker and mask were thrown casually beside the bed.

While sorting out the information he had obtained this morning, he used the restraints to put the uniform back into the cardboard box at the bottom of the closet and sealed the opening of the box with tape.

"The dean said: The people who took my real body and Kong Youling away had a hexagram pattern on their uniforms."

"And this pattern is exactly the same as the one left by the mad exorcist 'Red Light' when he committed crimes: every time he killed someone, he would write a line of Latin text next to the pattern, which means 'Salvation Society'."

Ji Minghuan closed his eyes and switched his consciousness to "Xia Pingzhou" in a hotel in Tokyo.

He called up the task panel and took a look.

[Main Mission 3: Find clues about "your former teammate," the mad exorcist - "Red Light."]

He switched back to "Gu Wenyu's" perspective with ease, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

He thought to himself, "The important thing is that my mentor told me that he doesn't belong to the Abnormal Association, nor the Exorcist Association, and certainly not a member of the Strange News Envoy. So... there's a high probability that they belong to this organization called the 'Savior Society'."

"Now that we've confirmed that, all we need to do is find Red Light. I can use the restraint mantra to get information from him about the nature of the Savior Society and their purpose. Maybe Red Light even knows where the Savior Society's base is located."

Ji Minghuan stretched out his right hand, lowered his eyes, and looked quietly at the restraints wrapped around his fingertips.

"It seems... the Saviors have most likely planted spies within the Deviant Association. Otherwise, how else can we explain how their news arrived so quickly?"

"Help Gu Qiye enter Hongyi and infiltrate the top level of the United Nations. He should be able to help me find clues about the "Salvation Society"..."

"Once we find the location of the laboratory, things will be easier: gather strength and wait for the right moment. I probably can't do it alone. I have to find a way to mobilize the Abnormal Association, the White Crow Brigade, the Exorcist Association, and even the criminal forces on my father's side. So how to guide them is also a difficult problem."

Ji Minghuan was thinking while sliding the system panel, and suddenly it occurred to him: "Oh yeah... what's the use of that event card I got this morning?"

Select the "Event Card Book" and the first card in the card slot will be the "Bird in a Cage".

Event Card Name: Bird in a Cage

[Effect: When you are attacked by any "control" ability, you can get rid of the effect by losing this card.]

[Value: Selling the card can be exchanged for "1 skill point".]

"I could sell it for skill points, but forget it... I'll keep it for now. Maybe it'll be useful later."

Listening to the faint sound of rain, Ji Minghuan suddenly felt a little sleepy.

He yawned and closed all the miscellaneous panels in an orderly manner.

Closing my eyelids, three infinitely overlapping perspectives suddenly appeared in my mind. Every body was sleeping in the darkness, and the senses of every body were mobilized:

It was raining in Tokyo and in Lijing, but the prison cell was silent, like the bottom of the sea thousands of miles away.

This month of confinement taught Ji Minghuan a profound lesson: people need a little noise to sleep soundly. Before Ji Minghuan awakened his supernatural powers, it was difficult for him to fall asleep in his cell.

He used all the sleep-inducing techniques he had learned in the orphanage, such as counting sheep, breathing regulation, and mental arithmetic of pi... and tried every possible means.

But there is no need for that now. The sound of the falling rain is the best sleep aid.

His thoughts sank into darkness, as if falling into the cradle of the deepest part of his consciousness. Not long after, a voice as cold and hard as iron woke him from his sleep.

"Restricted-level psychic, number 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', instructor is visiting. Prepare for interrogation as soon as possible."

Ji Minghuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw the silver-white ceiling. The cold surveillance camera was facing his face, like an iron-faced judge silently provoking him.

He tilted his head from the pillow and saw the heavy metal door open and the mentor walked in slowly.

"What's going on this time, Teacher... I've only just fallen asleep, and you're already rushing to ruin my sleep quality. You're really something."

Ji Ming complained listlessly, too lazy to even move from the bed. He simply put his arms behind his head, closed his eyes, and lay motionless on the bed like a mummy.

"Your dean is dead." The tutor sat down and said.

Ji Minghuan was obviously stunned for a moment, then he opened his eyes in surprise and slowly turned around.

"The old dean... is dead?" he asked in disbelief, his voice a little hoarse.

The instructor nodded. "It happened this morning. According to an investigation by the Blue Arc specialist of the Lijing Deviant Association, your dean hanged himself in his office at 8:30 this morning. His actions have been exposed... I hear he imprisoned an orphaned girl in the basement for several years, committing many brutal acts against her. Now the whole of Lijing is discussing this matter."

"Hanged herself?" Ji Minghuan muttered to himself in a daze, and then asked, "What was the name of the girl he locked up?"

"Permission given."

"How did they find out...she was imprisoned in the basement?"

"Blue Arc received an anonymous call from the dean. When Blue Arc arrived at the office, he found the dean had hanged himself. Before committing suicide, the dean wrote an unsent self-confession email on his computer, in which he told Blue Arc the girl's location."

Hearing this, Ji Minghuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

He thought to himself, "My dear brother, you are really good at making up stories. You helped me to make it so perfect."

A few hours ago, Ji Minghuan did ask Gu Qiye to help him disguise the murder scene. This was not surprising. He felt that Gu Qiye was the same kind of person as him, and both would think that the dean's death was not a pity.

But what Ji Minghuan could not have imagined was that a decent person like Gu Qiye could actually do so well against his conscience.

In the eyes of the public, the alien "Blue Arc" is equivalent to a superstar of the era. No one would suspect that he was cheating in such matters, and the Alien Association would not investigate further.

In addition, at this point in time, most people were in shock and anger about this incident. No one cared about how the dean died. They only cared about the result that "the dean is dead."

Whether it is suicide or homicide, there is no essential difference to them.

What no one could have imagined was that the person who actually killed the dean was actually the psychic "Black Pupa" who had only recently entered the public eye.

I'm afraid that once the tutor knows about this, he will immediately conclude that there is a real connection between "Black Pupa" and Ji Minghuan, and then mobilize the members of the Salvation Society to capture Black Pupa and bring him to the laboratory for surgery.
