CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 210: TOUGH GUY GHOST BELL, FOUR-PERSON FAMILY MELEE

Gu Qiye was taken aback: "Leaving home again for a while?"

"Yes." Su Zimai nodded.

"Is it a mission?" Gu Qiye pondered, "The recent tasks from the Exorcist Association seem a bit... too frequent?"

He lifted his eyes, earnestly staring into Su Zimai’s eyes, as if trying to see something.

"It’s fine, I can handle it." Su Zimai avoided his gaze.

Gu Qiye was silent for a moment: "I may not be in a position to say anything, but don’t push yourself too hard. I used to have no choice but to go solo, but you’re different, you have me."

"Alright." Su Zimai hesitated, "Brother, be careful these days."

"Yeah, you too."

Su Zimai lowered her head, absent-mindedly stood up from the chair, and went upstairs.

"Leaving again?" Gu Wenyu leaned on the second-floor railing, playing with his phone.

"Yes."

"Your worries are written all over your face... What happened? Want to tell me?"

"I can’t say."

Su Zimai lowered her head, looking a bit gloomy. She could barely hold back from talking about the Salvation Society and Lin Zhengquan in front of Gu Qiye, but with Gu Wenyu, it was harder to resist.

Gu Wenyu sighed in relief, thinking to himself that his sister still had some sense. Since Su Zimai wasn’t willing to even mention the "Salvation Society" to him, she probably wouldn’t casually bring it up to others later.

After a moment of silence, Su Zimai whispered, "My friend is hurt, I’m really worried about him... I need to stay by his side, so I can’t come back for a while, that’s it."

"Alright, hang in there."

Gu Wenyu said, then looked down at his phone, reached out to pat Su Zimai on the head, and while she was still in a daze, he ruffled her hair, then moved into his room and closed the door.

He leaned against the door, opened his contact list, and sent a message to Ke Qirui.

[Gu Wenyu: Take care of my sister, Train Heroine.]

[Ke Qirui: That’s quite an offensive nickname... Also, how come you and your brother send the same message, did you plan it?]

[Gu Wenyu: You have my brother’s contact?]

[Ke Qirui: Added a few days ago, Xiaomai gave me his contact info so I could update him on her well-being, send daily shots of Xiaomai’s life or something.]

[Gu Wenyu: You could send me some too, preferably the candid ugly ones.]

[Ke Qirui: Such a sly brother, I don’t want a scolding from Xiaomai.]

[Gu Wenyu: So what’s up with you guys? Have you run into some trouble?]

[Ke Qirui: It’s inconvenient to say, maybe next time.]

He lay back on the bed, picked up the remote control, and mindlessly flipped through the channels, watching TV for a while.

The host said, "Today, the Mutant ’Blue Arc’ and the Mutant ’Mu Long’ jointly cracked an underground organization trafficking case. With the arrival of this outstanding new mutant, Li Jing’s public safety..."

"Really curious, how would my brother feel if he accidentally took down Mu Long’s dad..." Gu Wenyu thought silently, looking at the amiable and approachable Blue Arc and the silent and introverted Mu Long on TV.

"Don’t lose hope now, dad is totally unreliable, I can only rely on you to join Rainbow Wings and catch the Salvation Society’s tail." Just as he thought this, he suddenly heard a knocking sound.

Soon after, Gu Qiye’s voice came from outside the door: "Are you there, Wenyu?"

Gu Wenyu was startled, rolled off the bed, and opened the door, seeing Gu Qiye standing outside with arms crossed.

He asked, "What’s up, bro?"

"Want to play the latest game with me?" Gu Qiye smiled, "I bought a disc of ’Mutant Alliance,’ that IP everyone’s talking about online, and our PS5 hasn’t been used for a while."

Saying this, he revealed a game disc in his hand, with iconic mutants from Japan, the United States, China, and other countries drawn on the cover, with Blue Arc standing in the center position.

To commemorate the Japanese mutant "Sakurabu" who died in the auction incident, the producers also included her as a playable character in this fighting game.

With the popularity of so many mutants, the game ’Mutant Alliance’ was a hit even before it was released, getting pushed across all platforms.

Gu Wenyu nodded: "Sure, but does this game have ’Black Cocoon’? I want to play Black Cocoon."

"No, it’s called Mutant Alliance, so the characters are based on real mutants," Gu Qiye said, "But you can play Blue Arc, Blue Arc is a popular character."

"Then I’ll choose someone else, Blue Arc’s not for me."

"Uh... alright then."

Gu Wenyu shrugged: "Little sis is leaving tomorrow morning, I’ll go get her." With that, he pounded on Su Zimai’s room door, and once she opened it, Gu Qiye and he dragged her downstairs together.

The three of them sat in the living room, connected the PS5 to the TV, and distributed the controllers.

Gu Wenyu controlled the character "Swallowing Silver," Su Zimai controlled "Sakurabu," and Gu Qiye controlled the hidden character "Embers." Embers was once France’s most powerful superpower user, fatally ambushed by the White Crow Travel Brigade, and included in the game as an easter egg, requiring a secret code to unlock.

The secret code Gu Qiye used was sent to him by the game’s developers in an email.

Soon after, Gu Zhuo Case also came home, placed his shoes in the shoe cabinet, and watched the three of them silently from the couch as they played games, just like in childhood.

He suddenly nostalgically looked out the window; back then, Su Ying was still around, cooking in the kitchen, while he smoked and read the newspaper in the living room, and the kids sat cross-legged on the floor playing games.
