My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 85 Evil Man
Ji Minghuan controlled the No. 2 machine and accompanied Ayase Origami to Shibaura Pier and boarded the "water bus". They took the Tokyo Mizube Line and the journey to Harumi Pier took about 25 minutes.

He stood on the open deck, leaning his arms on the railing, staring at the scenery on the sea in a daze.

The ship drifted further and further away from the port. In Ji Minghuan's view, the Tokyo Tower gradually shrank into a thin orange pole, while the glass curtain wall of the Mori Building in Roppongi Hills reflected a cold light. In the distance, seagulls flew in, bringing a gust of cold sea breeze that ruffled Ji Minghuan's hair.

The sea water sparkled in the morning sun, and the magnificent outline of Mount Fuji could be vaguely seen in the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, the ship entered Tokyo Bay and approached the Rainbow Bridge.

Ji Minghuan turned his head and looked at the bridge pier in the distance. One or two seagulls were perched on the rusty maintenance ladder.

Suddenly, he remembered the reasons why Bloodline and White Wolf joined the group, so he turned to Ayase Origami beside him and asked:

"Why did you join the Brigade?"

"I'm not interested in answering... but if this is a question from a kitten to its master, that's another matter." Ayase Origami said indifferently, the sea reflected in her pupils.

Ji Minghuan asked, "Are you guys done yet?" and then shouted expressionlessly:
"Meow."

I have to say, even the voice seems to be "expressionless".

Ayase Origami was slightly stunned and looked back at Xia Pingzhou. She had clearly just made a joke, but she didn't expect this expressionless newcomer to pick up on it.

A hint of smile suddenly appeared on the face of this plain white, expressionless girl.

If you didn't know that she was a member of the White Crow Brigade, a wanted criminal who had done all kinds of evil, just looking at her smiling face, you might think she was just a normal Japanese girl.

"Number 12, are you... a reserved man?" She wrote on a piece of paper and made it fly in the air.

The passengers around who saw this scene exclaimed, the Japanese passengers shouted "Siguoyi", and the men from Italy whistled and shouted "Bravo" to express their praise. They thought the kimono girl was performing magic.

Someone wanted to pick up the phone to take a picture, but found that the lens was covered with a layer of pure white. When he turned the phone around, he found that the camera lens was stuck with a layer of thin paper that could not be torn off.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Ji Minghuan asked in a low voice, his black hair blown high by the sea breeze.

Ayase Origami thought for a moment and said, "It's boring to stay in the family. I feel like a puppet, everything is arranged for me, and I can see the end of my life at a glance."

"and then?"

The ship passed directly beneath the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, its shadow covering the faces of all the passengers. The girl's fair cheeks were shrouded in shadow, and she said:

"The leader came to me and said... 'Being a villain is more fun than being a puppet, isn't it?'"

"What's your answer?"

"I accepted. So Takikage followed me and joined the White Crow Brigade."

The sound of the waves drowned out their whispers.

As the two chatted, the water bus arrived at Harumi Pier.

Amid the cries of seagulls, they disembarked and arrived at a cafe near Tokyo Bay. The cafe was elegantly decorated—the tables and chairs were made of mahogany, and there were paintings framed on the walls, along with a prominent business license.

There weren't many guests in the restaurant, only one or two tables. But there were only four tables in total, and there wouldn't be enough space for more.

"This is the cafe that Takikage used to run. After joining the brigade, he handed it over to a junior. Every time the brigade's operations are over, he would return here. It's safe here, and the yakuza won't come looking for us."

Ayase Origami introduced with a deadpan expression.

Ji Minghuan nodded, looked at the customers in the store, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

He saw a familiar figure among the guests, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and secretly recited the name in his heart:
"Li Qingping?"

That’s right…the figure sitting inside the cafe was Li Qingping, and sitting opposite him was a foreign youth.

The young man had long golden hair and eyes as blue as the sea. He was wearing a white casual shirt made of very expensive-looking fabric.

If I guessed correctly, this blond young man should be the second prince of the Whale Box Garden, the person Li Qingping is currently protecting - if something goes wrong with the second prince at this auction, I'm afraid my good brother will have to go back on his knees.

At this moment, Li Qingping looked a little absent-minded.

He hadn't touched the coffee on the table, his head lowered, concentrating on texting someone on his phone. He deleted and revised the text, hesitated several times in the dialog box, and finally sent the message. "You really know how to choose a place... If you want your good brother to die, just say so, okay?"

Ji Minghuan thought about it and synchronized his consciousness with the No. 1 machine "Black Pupa".

As he opened his eyes, he heard a "ding" message alert sound. He picked up the phone beside his pillow and saw that it was a WeChat message from Li Qingping. He had just been thinking for a long time in the cafe, considering what to send to Gu Wenyu.

Li Qingping: Are you awake? Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to invite you to meet my foreign friend? Do you want to come to the cafe?

"I'm afraid this coffee will kill people..." Ji Minghuan couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he went to see Li Qingping because he had nothing to do and wanted to see what the "Second Prince" looked like.

In this way, he would not recognize the wrong person at the auction - if at that time, Li Qingping needed someone to help him keep an eye on the second prince before he could make a bold move, then Ji Minghuan would jump out to help him kidnap the second prince and let Brother Red Dragon play his role.

Since the goal has been achieved, in order to ensure that nothing happens to Unit No. 1, Ji Minghuan doesn't need to let Gu Wenyu get involved in this mess.

It's impossible to ask him to use "restraint belt detection" to check the ability values ​​of the team members, right?

It is very likely that at the moment the measurement was made, Hei Pupa's hands had already been broken by Ayase Origami, or the whole person had been dragged into the shadows by Oda Takikage for execution.

After much deliberation, he decided to stand Li Qingping up in a dignified manner.

【Gu Wenyu: I feel a little sleepy all of a sudden. Good night.】

Li Qingping: "You're saying goodnight so early in the morning? You're standing your buddy up again, aren't you? You're amazing."

Gu Wenyu: Don't you still have your foreign friends? You didn't even tell me you were traveling to Japan, and now you're the one taking over.

【Li Qingping: Didn’t you tell me?】

【Gu Wenyu: Same here.】

"Sit down, have a drink." Ayase Origami's voice drew Ji Minghuan's attention back to Unit 2. "It's free."

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Oda Takikage, who was sitting at the counter pretending to be the boss.

Following her gaze, Ji Minghuan controlled Xia Pingzhou to look sideways.

At this moment, Oda Takikage had already taken off his ninja uniform and changed into casual clothes. His two-meter-tall giant physique was very conspicuous even when sitting on a low stool, so Ji Minghuan recognized him as the ninja from before.

There was no expression on his firm face. He blinked at Ji Minghuan and then continued to read the newspaper.

Ji Minghuan was secretly surprised. The Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge were several kilometers apart, but Oda Takigage was faster than them by taking the sea bus, and he had even changed his clothes when they met again. It turned out that there was no ordinary character in the brigade.

"Is this a ninja?"

He had a completely new understanding of this member number 4, and secretly reminded himself: Before the auction begins, I must have Su Zimai be on guard against Oda Takikage, lest he be dragged into the shadows without knowing how he died...

At this moment, at the table next to Ji Minghuan, Li Qingping and the second prince were chatting happily.

"Where is your friend?" The blond young man took a sip of coffee, raised his head and asked Li Qingping.

"He stood me up."

Li Qingping replied expressionlessly.

It seemed that he had never given a good look to anyone in the Whale Box Garden, even when facing the prince - Ji Minghuan had seen him communicating with the gatekeeper like this last time. Perhaps he had a relatively high status there and liked to put on airs.

"What a bad guy." The second prince said with emotion.

"Yeah, a bad guy." Li Qingping said with emotion.

"Okay, okay, we're good brothers when we meet, but we're cold and mean behind each other's backs."

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan took a sip of his sugared coffee and stopped observing the two of them out of the corner of his eye.
