CHAPTER 238: CHAPTER 154: SU ZIMAI VS. THE SALVATION SOCIETY? SISTER’S REVENGE PLAN

[Black Cocoon: Is the Ghost Train Corps going to dispatch everyone this time? Catching the Red Light is quite an achievement.]

[Ke Qirui: Of course.]

[Black Cocoon: That little girl who was scared into peeing her pants is no exception.]

[Ke Qirui: She is a genius; she just needs time to hone her skills.]

[Black Cocoon: I understand, if it’s convenient, would you be willing to let me hitch a ride with the Train Demon? I can definitely provide you with considerable help once I’m in London.]

[Ke Qirui: Oh, are you serious? Be careful, we might gang up on you.]

[Black Cocoon: I’m serious, I strongly suggest you take me along, otherwise unexpected things will happen.]

[Ke Qirui: Hmm... Considering you saved Xiaomai once, I’ll bring you along this time.]

[Black Cocoon: Good, thank you for cooperating, Miss Ke. We’ll be in touch.]

Ji Minghuan quickly typed into the input box, clicked send, then looked up at Su Zimai. Though he appeared to be staring at Su Zimai, he was actually pondering the words on the panel.

[Main Quest 3 (Stage Four): This quest will refresh in 3 days (July 26).]

"I see," he thought, "the fourth stage of this main quest is to cooperate with the people of the Ghost Train Corps in London to catch the Red Light?"

Su Zimai had been left standing at the door of the room for quite a while, with a cold face and an unhappy tone:

"Who was that? Replying to her message is more important than your little sister, huh? You’re not secretly dating someone, are you?"

Ji Minghuan put his phone back in his pocket and asked her: "I should ask you, is your task that important? You’ve only been home for two days, right?"

"Very important," Su Zimai said, "I need to take revenge on someone who’s really annoying."

Revenge?

Ji Minghuan’s heart stirred slightly, suddenly recalling the incident where Xia Pingzhou scared Su Zimai at the auction.

He tilted his head, wondering: Is my little sister planning revenge on my second-self? Don’t be too humorous...

Ke Qirui should also know that during the brigade’s disbandment, as long as Black Cocoon informs Xia Pingzhou of this intel, there’s a high probability Xia Pingzhou will rush to London to see his former teammate who went berserk — the Evil Exorcist "Red Light".

And Su Zimai, having learned from Ke Qirui about Xia Pingzhou’s involvement, naturally couldn’t help but want to deliver a hard punch to the guy who embarrassed her.

He remained silent for a moment; under normal circumstances, he might have the leisure to let the second self spar with his little sister, and even take it easy so she could vent by hitting him a bit.

But this time is completely different:

——The Salvation Society members will bring several children from the base to capture the Red Light, testing the children’s combat abilities in the process.

Intervening at such a critical point is incredibly dangerous, it’s possible Su Zimai could really die this time, especially since the Salvation Society is on a different level than the White Crow Travel Brigade.

Even Rainbow Wings and Lake Hunting probably aren’t a match for the Salvation Society.

However... since the Salvation Society needs to present themselves well in front of my true self, they probably won’t directly target those from the Exorcist Association.

Considering this, Su Zimai should be safe?

But will everything really go as smoothly as I think? Even if my sister doesn’t die, what if she gets captured and taken to the Salvation Society’s base?

Thinking this, Ji Minghuan raised his eyes and asked in a seemingly unconcerned tone:

"So are you planning to run away from home again?"

"No... This time I plan to sit down and talk with them properly." Su Zimai shook her head, "But without your help, I won’t be able to convince them, especially big brother. He’s really stubborn."

"Isn’t that troublesome... Do you still need to manage them? Just use magic to turn into a dove and fly to Ke Qirui’s place."

"No way."

"Why not?" Ji Minghuan suddenly chuckled, "Acting as if they won’t let you go, you’ll obediently stay at home, like I don’t understand your nature?"

Su Zimai was taken aback and then frowned, saying softly: "You’re right. If they won’t let me go, I will still go."

"Exactly?" Ji Minghuan said expressionlessly, "Then why bother being redundant, wasting my time."

Su Zimai drooped her head, pondering for a moment: "Isn’t it better to ask them than not ask, isn’t that right?"

Brief silence enveloped the two. After a moment, Ji Minghuan suddenly took a deep breath, his lowered fringe covering his eyes.

"Have you thought of..."

"Thought about what?"

"Thought of also asking me?"

Ji Minghuan paused: "Am I not also your brother? Why do you only consider big brother and dad’s opinions, do you think I must support you?"

Su Zimai was slightly stunned, slowly lifting her head to meet Gu Wenyu’s gaze.

She had never seen Gu Wenyu angry since childhood. This brother always seemed indifferent to everything. But now, she could hear from Gu Wenyu’s tone that he seemed somewhat angry.

Ji Minghuan’s face was cold as he asked word by word: "Honestly, is the Tokyo incident related to you?"

While speaking, he opened the mobile browser and searched for real-time hot topics: "The auction news is all over the internet. The timing coincides with our trip to Japan. It’s said all the guests and bodyguards died."

"I don’t have anything to do with that event..."

Ji Minghuan interrupted her: "Are you saying you have nothing to do with it?"

"Why are you being so fierce? Did I provoke you?"

"Didn’t you tell me two nights ago that these things are dangerous, and you might suddenly disappear one day?"

"And then?"

"And then..." Ji Minghuan turned aside, "Won’t I worry about you? Aren’t I also your family?"

Su Zimai was stunned for a long time, staring blankly at Gu Wenyu’s profile, her gaze rising and falling.

Her lips moved slightly, but she couldn’t say anything.

"If I say you can’t go, would you still go?" Ji Minghuan asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes, I would go." Su Zimai said, "I want to get stronger, climb higher, become more renowned among the Exorcists, and investigate mom’s matters, so I can’t miss any opportunity."

"Oh, then do as you like."

After a cold remark, Ji Minghuan directly closed the door, leaving Su Zimai alone in the corridor.

He lay back on the bed, arms resting behind his head, silently staring at the ceiling.

"How come I’m starting to feel a bit angry... Such nonsense." After a moment, he murmured softly.

After a while, hearing the footsteps in the hallway gradually fade, he slowly closed his eyes.

.....

.....

"Restricted-level superpower user, code number 1002—’Ji Minghuan’, Mentor visit, prepare for interrogation as soon as possible."

The cold voice and cold light spread from the ceiling, waking Ji Minghuan from deep sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes, yawning long, then turned to look at the entrance.

The heavily overlapping metal doors opened, and the Mentor paced over, sitting on the table.

He clasped his hands with a smile, looking at Ji Minghuan: "How was your sleep?"

"Pretty good." Ji Minghuan got up from the bed, stretching, "With a TV, sleeping has become a joy."

He got out of bed and sat opposite the Mentor.

The Mentor rested his chin on his clasped hands, looking at Ji Minghuan through his glasses, staring intently.

He said: "Ji Minghuan, we’ve already found the traces of ’Red Light’."

Ji Minghuan was surprised: "The berserk exorcist you mentioned before?"

"Yes, that is the target of your mission this time."

"Oh, where is he?"

"London, United Kingdom."

The Mentor paused, looked at Ji Minghuan, his expression slightly solemn:

"In three days, you will be heading to London, representing our Salvation Society, to carry out your first external operation."
