My avatar is becoming the final boss
Chapter 68 Jack
Chapter 68 Jack
After awakening his superpowers, Ji Minghuan had more or less pondered this question:
——Since I am a restricted-level psychic, is it possible that my parents are not ordinary people either?
After all, looking at the situation of Gu Qiye's family, it can be seen that the genetic genes of people with superpowers are very powerful and can even affect the entire family; in comparison, there are very few cases where the ancestors do not have superpower genes but spontaneously awaken superpowers.
But Ji Minghuan had no interest in the word "parents," so even though there was still a lot of room for exploration, he had never given it much thought...
Even once.
"Next time we meet, I'll tell you about your parents," said the tutor.
"I don't care, I just want to know if they are still alive?" Ji Minghuan said.
"Alive."
"This is enough."
"Good night."
The lights in the prison cell were brightly on one second, and the next second, the lights were turned off from top to bottom.
The footsteps stopped at the door, and the instructor's back stood motionless under the light of the exit. He tilted his head slightly and glanced through the crack in the door at Ji Minghuan, who was still sitting on the chair.
The door closed, and then a prompt box rose in the darkness.
The current progress of the "Exorcist" branch's worldview development has changed from 55% to 60%.
"What kind of reward will I get if the worldview progress bar reaches 100%... Demon, I didn't expect such a creature to exist in the world. It's really an eye-opener."
Ji Minghuan looked up at the prompt box of world view development and thought silently in the darkness.
"Alive, but not coming to see me...what's the difference between that and being dead?"
He had a blank expression on his face as he tried to find his parents' faces in his mind, but he hadn't seen them for so many years that he had almost forgotten what they looked like. All that was left was a vague outline and a few blurry scenes.
The tutor's sudden mention of his parents really caught him off guard.
But in Ji Minghuan's understanding, his only family member now is Kong Youling.
She was his only family. If his mentor tried to use his parents to threaten him in the future, he would abandon them immediately. Their life or death had nothing to do with him.
"Let's go to sleep... I have to meet with the members of the brigade tomorrow." He lay back on the bed.
Gradually, my eyelids closed and my consciousness fell into sleep.
Because he needs to control three bodies at the same time, he must ensure that he gets enough sleep to maintain a full mental state.
Otherwise…if one day I enter the spiritual world when I’m extremely tired, and when I look up, I find that the two corpses hanged in the library have suddenly come back to life, then things will really change.
The whole night was silent. Because he was too tired, Ji Minghuan slept very soundly.
After an unknown amount of time, he was woken up by the annoying ringing of the phone from the darkness.
Ji Minghuan was still a little confused after just waking up, and he really couldn't tell which body heard the ringing sound, or maybe it was just a dream - since he turned on the "complete split mode", he started dreaming again.
Subconsciously, Ji Minghuan straightened up and got up from the plain white bed.
It was pitch black all around, and he soon realized that he had made a stupid mistake: how could there be a phone in the cell? So he slapped his forehead with his palm and lay back down with a "pop".
Then he closed his eyelids, switched to the body of "Gu Wenyu", and took out his cell phone from under the pillow.
There was nothing on the phone screen except Su Zimai's messages.
Finally, the second machine, "Xia Pingzhou", opened its eyes in the hotel room and stared at the ceiling motionlessly.
He lay flat on his back, the phone ringing shrilly beside his ear and his pocket vibrating constantly. He quickly pulled out the phone from his sweatshirt pocket and looked down. Sure enough, it was this body that received the call.
So I pressed the dial button with a sense of relief, and the annoying ringing finally stopped.
Ji Minghuan tilted his head, put the phone to his ear, and uttered a single word: "Who?"
Soon, a cold and slightly childish female voice came from the other end of the phone.
I could tell it was Ayase Origami's voice. She said, "Come out, to the abandoned building west of the harbor. I wanted to take you to meet No. 4 and No. 9, but No. 10 and No. 2 got there first. They said they wanted to see you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
It sounded like there was no room for refusal. Ji Minghuan scratched his messy hair and turned to look at the dim sky outside the window.
"I might as well die..." He murmured, got up, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Soon, he put on a human face mask and walked out of the hotel.
I boarded the morning train, leaning against the window, staring blankly at Tokyo under the first rays of sunlight. The rice paddies in the distance were shrouded in a dim light, and the wind blowing from the horizon caused the rice sprouts to sway slowly.
Time passed silently amid the clanging sound of the tram, and soon we arrived at the meeting place.
After getting off the tram, I walked a short distance to a deserted area of buildings. I entered one of the abandoned buildings. What I saw was a ruin, with old factory machinery everywhere.
There were five figures sitting on the ruins. Ji Minghuan had seen three of them before. They were:
Member No. 11 - "An Lun Si", a blond-haired, blue-eyed British man with supernatural powers. His ability seems to be to summon a slot machine. It was he who blew up the underground bar last time.
Member No. 3 - "Ayase Origami", a girl in an ochre-red kimono, a psychic with the ability to manipulate paper, serious and delicate like a Japanese doll;
Member No. 7 - "Robert", a man wearing a robot box head, is a person with special abilities. His ability is to open a "door" on the wall that connects to different places.
In addition to these three people, there were two more figures that Ji Minghuan was not familiar with.
One of them was wrapped in a beige cloak, with only his head exposed.
This is a man with messy hair and a beard. There is a scar on his left eye, a white film on his eye, and his eyes are empty, and it is unclear where his sight is focused.
The other was wearing a Japanese high school uniform, light grey in tone, with a bow tie.
This is a girl with long black hair, playing with a short knife with a dark red handle in her hand, and her eyes are as dark as the polar night in the Arctic Circle.
Ji Minghuan stared at the dagger, his mind flashing back to the information Xia Pingzhou had researched. The blade's blade repeatedly overlapped with the Ripper's "Heavenly Drive" in his memory, finally merging with the reality before him—without a doubt, this was the dagger.
Jack the Ripper...was a woman? Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
[Completed Main Quest 2: Find the location of "Jack the Ripper," the evil exorcist who killed "your loved ones."]
[Obtained mission rewards: 1 skill point, 1 attribute point, 1 split point.]
【主线任务2已更新至第二阶段:蛰伏在白鸦旅团中,伺机杀死2号团员——“开膛手杰克”。(任务奖励:3个属性点、3个技能点、3个分裂点)】
Ji Minghuan glanced at the words on the panel, and his eyes lingered on the girl in school uniform.
An Luns was still wearing a British suit today. This outgoing man jumped down from the ruins, took the initiative to come forward, and put his hand on Ji Minghuan's shoulder.
He raised his other hand and pointed at the long-haired girl, smiling and saying, "This beautiful girl with long black hair is 'Jack the Ripper', number two in the group. She's the exorcist, and Tianqu is the knife."
He shrugged and added, "Ripper is the name someone gave her, and Jack is her nickname when she plays games. Together, they form 'Jack the Ripper'. She's quite famous, and many outsiders have heard of her name. What about you?"
What about me? The main quest is to kill her, so how could I not have heard of her name?
Ji Minghuan teased in his heart, but his face showed no expression: "I've heard of it."
An Lunsi nodded, then raised his finger and pointed at the cloaked man, introducing him: "That weird uncle in the cloak over there, we all call him 'White Greedy Wolf', he is number 10 in the group."
"What kind of ability does he have?"
An Lunsi shook his head and kept it a secret: "He is neither a psychic, nor a news teller, nor an exorcist."
Ji Minghuan raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Can Muggles also join the White Crow Brigade?"
"No...he is not an ordinary person," An Luns lowered his voice and said quietly, "He is a devil."
Ji Minghuan was slightly stunned and murmured softly: "...demon?"
"That's right." An Lunsi whispered, "He joined the brigade to find his child. I heard that this guy transformed into a human and had a child with a human woman... Later, the child ate his woman. He was very angry and abandoned the child and ran away."
Having said that, he couldn't help but smile.
"He soon changed his mind, but couldn't find the child anywhere. Finally, he came to us and joined us, saying he wanted to travel around the world with us to see if he could find any clues about the child."
The information in the words surged like a tide, and Ji Minghuan's brain froze for a second.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked at the man with a white film in his eye.
"Mr. Bai Tanlang, your child who ate his mother alive and then disappeared couldn't be called 'Firio'..." he thought. "What a coincidence! I'll be meeting your sweet baby in the laboratory tomorrow."
There will be another update in the evening, please give me your monthly vote!
