My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 48 Night Attack
"It looks like there are other experts at this auction. The Whale Box Garden is also getting involved."

Ji Minghuan sat in the exhibition stand of the lighthouse, tilted his head, and quietly watched the whale as big as a battleship disappear on the sea.

Although he was very curious about what the so-called "box garden in the whale" looked like, he couldn't possibly follow Li Qingping into the whale's belly. That would be tantamount to seeking death.

So he could only watch his best friend leave silently. It would be better to say that the word "watch" was too high for him. He was just a stalker and a peeper.

I really don’t know how Li Qingping would react when he found out that his best friend had secretly followed him all the way.

The tide rolled over the beach, the sea surface illuminated by the searchlight was calm, and the continuous sound of the tide lingered in the ears.

"Li Qingping will serve as the Second Prince's bodyguard, accompanying him to the underground auction in Tokyo... If it were just him, it would be fine. Li Qingping's attributes are similar to my father's. Using the psychic rating system, he's only a quasi-disaster-level expert. He can't even touch the baseline of Rainbow Wing. With the power of the White Crow Brigade, they can definitely easily control him."

"But the problem is: if Li Qingping dies at the auction, then my 'Black Pupa' will have one less main quest."

Ji Minghuan hunched his back and sighed deeply, feeling that his role as the second-in-command had really started off badly. He couldn't even protect himself, and had to find ways to save the lives of others.

He raised his head, glancing sideways at the undulating sea beneath the night sky, thinking, "Suppose the situation gets even worse: my brother, father, and sister also want to interfere in the auction. Then, there will be at least three Half-Step Calamity-Grade tough guys, an unknown force from the Exorcist Association, and the Japanese underworld."

"Either my second character died there, or my first character missed out on several main quests. For me, neither outcome was worth it."

"This is truly a dangerous situation... No wonder the skill point reward for that 'Survive the Auction' quest is ridiculously high. It turns out it's just incredibly rare. But leaving the group is also a dead end... Let's just take it one step at a time."

With pitch-black restraints wrapped around his entire body, his figure disappeared as if wiped out from this world by God. Ji Minghuan stepped on the table, crawled through the window of the lighthouse, and jumped up under the moonlight.

Half an hour later, Gu Qinye stood at the door of his house and opened the door with a "click" using the silver-plated key.

He turned the doorknob and walked into the house, looking a little tired, when his mobile phone suddenly received a text message from an anonymous user.

[Anonymous user: Mr. Blue Arc, thank you for your help today. I never thought you could do so well.]

[Gu Qiye: How did you know that the girl was imprisoned at the bottom of the library? ]

[Black Pupa: My hearing has always been sharp. Besides, I've told you before, I see through the true face of every disguised person. That hypocritical, filthy dean certainly can't hide from my eyes either.]

[Gu Qiye: You could have chosen to send him to prison instead of torturing him to death.]

[Black Pupa: The way I treated him was far from being called "brutal killing."]

[Gu Qiye: That's because you want me to help you fake a suicide scene, so you can't go too far.]

[Black Pupa: Wow, you figured this out... It seems we've become quite familiar with each other after just two days. You said you could send him to prison, but in reality, your heart's decision is the same as mine. You also want to kill him, but you can't because of your status. However, I can do it for you.]

【Gu Qiye: That's nonsense.】

[Black Pupa: At least from the fact that you didn't expose me, I can tell that you essentially approve of my actions.]

Gu Qiye: Compared to all this, today has actually improved my impression of you. I originally thought you were just a bad guy who only cared about having fun, but I didn't expect you to do one or two good things occasionally.

[Black Pupa: Wasn't what I did in the square that day a good thing? If I hadn't intervened, you, severely injured at the time, would have been like a dog with a broken spine, wearing the handcuffs Green Wing handed you. You know there's something wrong with those handcuffs.]

【Gu Qiye: Whatever you say.】

After sending this message, Gu Qinye let out a long sigh, threw down his phone, and slumped down on the sofa, resting his head against the back of the sofa.

He looked up at the ceiling in a daze, and soon the text message alert sounded again.

Gu Qinye picked up his phone and took a look at the incoming text message.

[Black Pupa: By the way, how is that girl? ]

Gu Qiye: She's receiving treatment and psychological counseling in the hospital. It'll take some time for her to be discharged. I visit her every day after get off work when I have time. Hei Pupa: Or perhaps, to be more direct, you could tell me the address of the hospital.

[Gu Qiye: Isn't your hearing very sharp? Go find it yourself.]

[Black Pupa: That's true. Actually, I don't have time to visit her, so please take care of her.]

[Gu Qiye: That's not wrong. Your appearance will probably leave a psychological shadow on her.]

Gu Qiye had just put down his phone when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the entrance.

Only then did he remember that he had not closed the door, and turned his head from the back of the sofa to look at the person who came in.

Gu Zhuoan changed into slippers and walked in carrying a bag of takeout boxes. The white plastic box lid could not remove the rich aroma of onions.

He met Gu Qiye's gaze, cigarette in hand, and asked in a muffled voice, "Have you eaten yet? I bought some spare ribs."

Gu Qiye was silent for a while and shook his head: "Not yet."

"Then let's eat together?"

"Has Wenyu returned home?"

"I just texted him. He's in his room. Come down right away."

Gu Qiye hesitated for a moment: "Then... let's eat together."

If Gu Wenyu wasn't at home, he would definitely refuse Gu Zhuo's proposal and go to a nearby restaurant to find something to eat and fill his stomach. But since Wenyu was at home, it wouldn't be a big deal if he just had a meal with them. Gu Qiye didn't think he had any expectations of this useless father. He just didn't want his brother to be too lonely.

At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridor on the second floor. Then Ji Minghuan walked down the stairs slowly while looking at his mobile phone, his slippers making a clicking sound.

He swaggered into the kitchen first and sat down.

Gu Zhuoan put out his cigarette, threw it into the ashtray, and then put the plastic bag of scallion-flavored spareribs on the table.

The three of them had a silent dinner together. They didn't talk much at the table, just ate their own food.

After dinner, Ji Minghuan brushed his teeth in the bathroom on the second floor and walked back to his room. He closed the door with his restraints, then lay on the bed, called up the system panel, and simply and efficiently distributed the attribute points and skill points he had just obtained.

[The "Strength" attribute of the first game character "Black Pupa" has changed from C++ to B.]

[1 skill point has been consumed, successfully learning the skill "Ability Steal" of the "Li" branch. (After you use the restraint belt to bind a psychic, you can temporarily steal and preserve their abilities. The abilities will disappear after using them once.) (The stolen abilities are only 50% effective, and the power depends on the attributes of the "Black Pupa"). (Maximum preservation time: 24 hours.)]

[The next skill of the "Li" branch has been opened for learning: "Capacity Increase".]

Ji Minghuan was really exhausted after the whole day. In addition, he was woken up by his tutor not long after sleeping in the afternoon, so he could not hide his sleepiness at this time.

I turned off the lights and it didn't take long for my eyelids to droop.

He fell asleep.

At the same time, on the same night, the silent prison cell once again welcomed the mentor's visit.

But... strangely, the mentor did not come this time as usual.

Instead, he opened the metal door of the prison cell in the quietest manner, and in the pitch-black darkness, he approached the sleeping Ji Minghuan step by step and silently.
