My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 46 Cinema
There had just been a heavy rain, and Lijing was still shrouded in a dim veil.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the afternoon sun penetrated the clouds and shone down, but it could not reach every corner of the city. Guyimai Community happened to be an area where no light could be seen.

The bathroom was dimly lit. Ji Minghuan flipped the switch on the wall, turning on the orange bathroom light. He slowly walked to the sink, picked up a towel from the rack, and wiped his face in the mirror.

Then, while walking towards the room, he replied to his best friend's message on his mobile phone.

Gu Wenyu: I have some free time, where should I go?

Li Qingping: How about watching a movie? The recently released "Neon Genesis Evangelion: End of Evangelion."

Gu Wenyu: Oh, Eva, I want to watch it too. Do you want to book the tickets or should I?

Li Qingping: Just go out now. I've already booked your ticket.

【Gu Wenyu: How much is it? I’ll transfer it to you via WeChat.】

Li Qingping: Brother, do you need this little money? If you stand me up again, I'll be mad. You've been acting like a dead person these past few days. Every time I call you, you play dead. I'm starting to suspect you've found a girlfriend behind my back.

With a "ding" sound, my best friend sent me the location of a movie theater.

Ji Minghuan glanced at the address, then walked back to the room, found a T-shirt and jeans in the closet, put them on in a few seconds, pulled his sleeves and went out.

By the way, he was wearing a T-shirt with the cartoon image of the alien "Swallow Silver".

Unlike national idols like "Blue Arc", "Tun Yin" has received mixed reviews in China because of his overly irritable personality. He often says shocking things and has no sense of propriety in what he says, and often does things that are difficult for people to understand.

He usually appears in a silver uniform and a silver mask, and his special ability is that he can immediately gain different abilities by swallowing different metals.

Therefore, the cooperative merchants of the Association of the Different Walkers designed the cartoon image of "Swallowing Silver" into a silver hamster with a cold expression, gnawing on a small piece of iron in its hand with its head down.

I really don’t know whether to cry or laugh after seeing this.

Ji Minghuan laughed anyway. He only knew that Gu Wenyu was a fan of Tunyin, which was why he had this T-shirt in his closet.

Ji Minghuan turned the doorknob, and just as he pushed it open a crack, he saw Gu Zhuoan's face. His tall figure stood quietly against the wall, his back hunched, his arms draped over his stomach, staring at the floor in deep thought.

"Wen Yu...Qi Ye said what date he would go to Japan?" Gu Zhuoan raised his head and asked.

"I haven't asked yet."

"Then remember to ask him and prepare a few days in advance."

"Ah."

"Want to go out and play?"

"Correct."

"Don't come back too late."

"Oh."

Gu Zhuoan was silent for a moment, then warned, "There's been a lot of superpowered criminals out there lately, like the 'Black Pupa,' the 'Out-of-Frame,' the 'Earthworm Man'... and even the 'Ghost Bell.' Anyway, if you run into danger or trouble out there, remember to call me immediately and I'll come get you right back."

Come on, isn't Ghost Zhong standing right in front of me now? According to your logic, shouldn't I call you right away and say: "Wow, Dad, I'm so scared. The super criminal Ghost Zhong is blocking my door and won't let me go out to play."

"Okay." Ji Minghuan looked up from his phone screen and looked at Gu Zhuo'an, "Anything else?"

"It's okay. Go and have fun." At 5:30 in the afternoon, Ji Minghuan arrived at the cinema on time.

The dark clouds hadn't quite dispersed yet, and the sky was a bit gloomy. The street was wet, and the puddles reflected the colorful neon lights and movie posters from the cinema.

It was summer, and the air quality was somewhere between damp and hot, making it quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, after a while, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly collapsed, and the warm afternoon sun shone in, easing some of the pedestrians' irritability.

After scanning the QR code and taking out two movie tickets from the Taopiaopiao machine, Ji Minghuan and Li Qingping each held a bucket of popcorn and lay in the massage chair area waiting to enter.

Li Qingping still had his hair in pigtails today, and his handsome face attracted the attention of many passers-by.

On one of the large screens in the cinema, information about supernatural criminals who have been active in Lijing City recently was being played. The pictures on the screen switched one after another, rotating the information of a series of dangerous people such as "Ghost Bell", "Flying Ant", "Off-Frame", and "Black Pupa", and an AI female voice was used to remind residents to stay away immediately if they saw people with similar attire.

When the screen flashed across the image of Black Pupa's upside-down figure, with the restraints surrounding him like waves, Li Qingping immediately slapped the armrest of his chair, pointed at the screen, and said to Ji Minghuan, "Damn, I think his outfit is so cool every time I see it. What about you?"

"My sister said he was a big moth." Ji Minghuan said without raising his head.

Li Qingping said with a grin, "He's incredibly handsome, okay? I saw the video uploaded by netizens. He was reading a book while twisting the heads off five gangsters. My dad and I were stunned, wondering who he was. Not to mention that even Blue Arc was stunned by him at the time."

"Blue Arc didn't seem quite right that day. How could he be fooled by two such weak criminals with his strength?"

"I feel the same way...his movements seemed to become much slower during that live broadcast."

As he spoke, Li Qingping turned to look at Ji Minghuan: "By the way, do you think that 'Black Pupa's' outfit looks familiar?"

"Is there any?"

"What do you mean by 'yes' or 'no'? It's obviously very similar to the battle suit we designed together in junior high!"

"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

"Hey... we're just superficial brothers. Didn't we agree that if one of us awakens our superpowers and becomes a Dissident, we'll create our own uniform according to this set of blueprints?"

"Oh...it seems so." Ji Minghuan said nonchalantly, "Fortunately, our final test results both showed we were Muggles. Anyway, why do we have to go into jobs with the highest mortality rates? After I graduate, I'll find a job and you can go home and inherit the company. Why not? We both have bright futures."

"I really wish I had the genes for a superpower." Li Qingping sighed. "If there were no other options, who would be willing to be a Muggle?"

Seeing him acting so hypocritically, Ji Minghuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Brother, don't wait until I find out you're a psychic, or I'll have to open one or two small accounts to give you a hard time."

"But actually..." Li Qingping paused and looked away, "Sometimes I also think it's nice to be an ordinary person. It's actually pretty good to go to boring classes at school every day, stare blankly at the playground, and hang out with friends after the holidays."

"Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental? Are you reminiscing about your lost youth even though it's still here? Or did your brain suddenly switch to the wrong channel?"

"Coke or Sprite?" Li Qingping smiled and changed the subject.

"Cola."

Hearing this, Li Qingping bought two bottles of drinks from the vending machine next to the massage chair and handed one of the bottles of Coke to Ji Minghuan.

"Thanks."

Ji Minghuan looked down at his phone, thanked him and reached out to take the Coke.

At this moment, a black restraint stretched out from his fingertips, gently touched Li Qingping's little finger, and then quickly retracted into the gap between his fingers.

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