CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 210: TOUGH GUY GHOST BELL, FOUR-PERSON FAMILY MELEE

In the cramped basement, aside from the humming exhaust fans, only the dripping sound of water could be heard. When Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes from the bed, the clock on the wall showed exactly 2 PM, with the hour hand stuck in place.

Today is July 28th.

There are 4 days left before the Legendary Whale reaches Bergen, Norway.

Li Jing’s time is seven hours ahead of London, where it’s already 9 PM.

Comrade Black Cocoon has been idle the whole day, and unless Mu Long plans to act against Blue Arc in the coming days, he will remain idle.

After all, the only way for Unit One to approach Bergen, Norway, without arousing the family’s suspicion, is to rely on Ke Qirui’s ghost train for quick round trips within a day.

However, the previous trip to London had already aroused suspicion from both his brother and sister. Doing it again would be too conspicuous. Su Zimai only needs to confirm some information with Ke Qirui to know that her brother is closely linked with Black Cocoon.

Although the Diaper Demon might not possess human intelligence, if it suddenly awakes to human knowledge, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the big flapping moth.

Clearly, exposing one’s identity at this moment is not a wise choice—if the family learns about the identity, future actions will be restricted everywhere.

Besides, since the traffic light incident, the Salvation Society has been observing the White Crow Travel Brigade recently. Therefore, to be safe, Ji Minghuan plans to let Black Cocoon standby and not participate in this terrarium operation.

As for the main mission that requires Unit One to establish a cooperative relationship with "Li Qingping," it will have to wait until Li Qingping and Cezar escape together from the Whale Terrarium to discuss further.

During his contemplation, a "knock, knock" sound came, rhythmically as gentle as a monk striking a wooden fish.

It was undoubtedly Ayase Origami knocking on the door. Only she could produce such an enlightened sound, as if through the wooden door, one could imagine her wooden-knock-like movement.

"What’s up?" Xia Pingzhou asked while getting dressed.

"Catch a plane."

"Coming."

With that, Xia Pingzhou threw on a coat, got up from the bed, put on his shoes, walked to the door, and opened it, looking up at the girl outside, who wasn’t wearing a kimono.

Today, Ayase Origami was unexpectedly wearing a plain white cloth dress, with a white lace-patterned hat on her head. She raised her eyes slightly from under the brim, silently watching Xia Pingzhou’s phone.

Seeing that the cat doll on his phone chain was still hanging safely, she withdrew her gaze.

Xia Pingzhou glanced at his phone to confirm, "The hacker arranged for us to go to Heathrow Airport?"

"Yes, a 4 o’clock flight, and it will arrive in Norway at..." Ayase Origami said, "the Alps."

"It’s Bergen, not the Alps." Xia Pingzhou corrected as he put away his phone, then asked, "Is Jack the Ripper traveling in the same cabin with us?"

"She requested to sit in a different cabin from us."

"Great." Xia Pingzhou shrugged, "Otherwise, she’d be kicking our seats like a hyper child again,"

"Let’s go."

"Have you ever been to Norway?"

"No."

"Makes sense... A brigade is meant for world travel, or else why call it a brigade."

"Then the world trip we agreed on earlier still counts?" Ayase Origami suddenly asked.

"This is a business trip because of work needs, abbreviated as a ’business trip’, afterward, it’s a vacation trip, the mindset is different, and so is the definition." Xia Pingzhou said matter-of-factly.

Not long after, the two left the underground corridor, hailed a taxi on the streets of London, took one last look at the spire of the church through the car window, and then drove away to the sound of Big Ben’s chimes.

Upon arriving at Heathrow International Airport, the two completed their formalities and boarded the first-class cabin smoothly with the hacker’s help, then sat down in adjacent seats.

Yanmo Lin proactively requested to sit in the neighboring first-class cabin, and even in her cabin, there were other passengers.

Xia Pingzhou was quite worried about the safety of the other passengers. Jack the Ripper might only kick a seat out of annoyance when she dislikes someone, but if she dislikes other passengers, when the plane lands, the cabin might only be filled with scattered organs and human skins.

Looking around, the first-class cabin was as empty as ever, like a secluded peach blossom garden.

Whenever this happened, Xia Pingzhou would appreciate the convenience of having an electronic pet, so he opened his phone and sent a message.

[Xia Pingzhou: I love you.]

[Hacker: In-game, do not disturb (auto-reply)]

[Hacker: Crazy? I don’t want to be hunted by the young lady.]

"Have the other team members already reached Bergen?" Xia Pingzhou put down his phone and asked the girl in the white dress beside him.

"Most of them have arrived." Ayase Origami said, then silently stared out the window, lost in thought.

"Then let’s catch some sleep on the plane first. I have a feeling that when we get to Norway, the other team members won’t let us rest. We probably won’t get any sleep tonight."

"Okay."

Ayase Origami nodded as she leaned her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes.

Xia Pingzhou yawned as well, tilted his head, and fell asleep against her side head.

His consciousness gradually switched to Unit One.

....

....

It was 8 PM local time on July 28th when Gu Wenyu opened his eyes, got up from the toilet seat, washed his hands, and walked out of the bathroom, entering the wooden corridor on the second floor of his home.

He leaned against the banister at the staircase, playing on his phone while extending the restraint belt to sway in the air, eavesdropping on the conversation coming from downstairs.
