CHAPTER 237: CHAPTER 154: SU ZIMAI VS. THE SALVATION SOCIETY? THE LITTLE SISTER’S REVENGE PLAN
In the evening of July 23, five minutes after the bank incident, near a residential building in the Gu Yima District.
Maintaining his transparent form, Black Cocoon stood motionless at the top of a streetlamp.
The full moon hung in the sky, bathing in its bright moonlight, he silently observed the brightly lit residential building.
Only after confirming with restraint sensing that Su Zimai was alone at home did he leap confidently through the open window into the room.
He took a deep breath and closed the window casually.
The restraint belt that covered him slipped off, like black tides splashing "whoosh" onto the ground, making his body feel lighter for a moment.
He supported his shoulder with his hand, tilted his head, and loosened his stiff neck. Honestly, he suspected that hanging upside down for long periods might damage his neck.
"So young and already suffering from a cervical problem?"
Ji Minghuan collapsed onto the bed, manipulating the restraint belt to undress while carelessly pondering:
"If what Tong Zizhu said is true, then was Mom really an exorcist?"
"She even said Mom was a Tier Three Exorcist, no wonder Su Zimai’s talent is so high; he inherited it from Mom... But if Mom was really that powerful, why was she casually crushed to death by Rainbow Wings — was it to protect my brother and sister?"
In the memory of Unit One, when his mother died five years ago, Gu Wenyu and Gu Zhuo Case were not at home.
Their father took Gu Wenyu to the supermarket for ice cream, and hurried back to find their residence turned to ruins amidst shooting flames.
Gu Qiye and Su Zimai lay unconscious, and rescue personnel moved them onto stretchers, sending them to the ambulance.
Watching this scene, the twelve-year-old Gu Wenyu stood dazed, slowly releasing the plastic bag in his hand, which fell to the ground with a "thud".
Therefore, Gu Wenyu did not witness the scene of Su Ying’s death firsthand, and therefore couldn’t verify a series of abnormalities regarding his mother.
"Forget it..." Ji Minghuan shook his head, retracting his scrambled thoughts, "Anyway, Tong Zizhu is a member of the travel troupe, so it’s enough to have Unit Two slowly reach out to her next."
During his idle thoughts, the restraint belt had already stored the mask and coat in the wardrobe.
Thus, he placed his arms behind his head, closed his eyes, and navigated the viewpoint in his mind.
The time in Venice is 7 hours slower than Li Jing, so it was still afternoon.
Xia Pingzhou had employed the Queen’s Statue to carry his body back to the hotel for rest after killing two twin demons resembling Blue Arc, avoiding numerous surveillance cameras along the way.
Meanwhile, at Whale Terrarium, the time was about the same as Li Jing; the night had grown deep.
Following the old butler’s death, Cezar had neither eaten nor drunk for a whole day, sleeping sideways; Yaguba lying in the Crystal Ball, dozing off with nothing to do.
"Tomorrow, Cezar will go to watch the Royal Court Team’s exhibition match; I need to observe the Royal Court Team’s strength while luring Cezar to extract the location of the next landing of the Legendary Whale from the Empress, to prepare for the meeting with the troupe leader the day after tomorrow."
Having made his plans mentally, Ji Minghuan was about to close his eyes to rest when suddenly he heard a knock at the door followed by Su Zimai’s lukewarm voice:
"Brother, are you asleep?"
He reluctantly sat upright, got out of bed, turned the door handle, opened the door, and rolled his eyes expressionlessly at Su Zimai behind the door.
She wore a white nightgown, her clean hair scattered behind her. Seeing her hesitation and unwillingness to speak, Ji Minghuan shrugged helplessly and took the initiative to ask:
"What do you want from me?"
"I..." Su Zimai placed her hands behind her back, looked up at him with slightly hesitant tone, "might have to leave for a while in a few days."
Looking at her expression, Ji Minghuan asked without pause: "Oh, are you going on another mission?"
As he said this, he subtly raised a finger while she was off guard, pulling up Unit One’s mission panel.
[Main Mission 3 (Stage Four): This mission will refresh in 3 days (July 26).]
He wondered if what she was doing had anything to do with the main mission.
"Yes, a very important mission," Su Zimai said in a low voice.
"An important mission?"
Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow, murmuring as he glanced up suspiciously at his sister’s serious expression.
Just then, the backup phone hidden in his pocket emitted a message alert tone. He paused, realizing he forgot to hide the phone used by Black Cocoon in the bottom of the wardrobe.
If his brother or dad were standing in front, he’d definitely hesitate to reveal the backup phone to avoid suspicion, but for harmless Su Zimai, it didn’t matter.
So, he opened the phone screen in front of Su Zimai and glanced at the received message.
[Ke Qirui: Tell Xia Pingzhou, we found the ’Red Traffic Light’.]
"Oh... Could Su Zimai’s important mission really refer to this?"
Ji Minghuan thought dumbfoundedly, then quickly tapped his fingers to reply to the message.
[Black Cocoon: Don’t play jokes on me, Miss Ke.]
[Ke Qirui: I’m not kidding with you, based on a series of clues we investigated, we judge the ’Red Traffic Light’ will head to London next.]
[Black Cocoon: London... I see, I’ll inform Mr. Xia Pingzhou, thank you for the information.]
[Ke Qirui: You’re welcome, after all, we’re in a partnership.]
