CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 198: THE DANGERS OF KONG YOULING AND ANOTHER CHILD

A silent night, Ji Minghuan managed to sleep peacefully without being rudely awakened by Su Zimai’s malicious revenge from the next room.

As expected, when he opened his eyes early the next morning, the first thing he saw was a silver-white ceiling.

The monitoring eye reflected silver light in the dark, and the penguin-shaped broadcasting equipment was crooked from the last time he slapped it.

He blinked his eyes, thinking to himself that his body could finally move freely.

After all, the Salvation Society had safely sent him back to the base. The sedative’s main role was to prevent the kids from discovering the base’s location on the way back, which was no longer necessary now.

To be honest, Ji Minghuan originally planned to commission someone to investigate the background and destination of the cargo ship on the Thames River.

But after considering it, relying on anyone to investigate this matter would only risk dragging them into it, and they might not even possess the ability to conduct such an investigation.

However, there’s one group of reckless individuals: the White Crow Brigade.

The hacker felt guilty towards Xia Pingzhou. From his perspective, the incident was indeed because of him: if he hadn’t recommended Xia Pingzhou to go to the "Eden" underground bar, Xia Pingzhou wouldn’t have encountered the subsequent series of events.

And considering the hacker’s capabilities, there’s a chance he could actually track down the cargo ship’s destination, potentially providing an opportunity to gain clues about the Salvation Society.

Besides, since the Salvation Society had already set its sights on the Ghost Train Corps, it was inevitable that the White Crow Brigade would also become a target—the three of them, Xia Pingzhou, Ayase Origami, and Jack the Ripper, had openly clashed with members of the Salvation Society.

By then, even if the hacker didn’t want to get involved, he’d have to deal with the Salvation Society’s investigation.

However, due to the existence of "Urushibara Ryuri," Ji Minghuan believed it was uncertain whether the Salvation Society would take action against the White Crow Brigade, considering the relationship between the leader "Urushibara Osamu" and "Urushibara Ryuri" still needed to be explored.

Perhaps Urushibara Ryuri would protect the White Crow Brigade, and then nothing would happen.

But regardless, now there’s only the option to wait for the second machine to wake up. Though after passing a night, Xia Pingzhou’s body still showed no signs of recovery, and the field of vision remained dim and murky. This unyielding sleep was really comparable to Zhou Jiuya.

Presumably, at this moment, the hacker should be getting reprimanded alternately by the young lady and Jack the Ripper. This electronic pet, despite everything, should have some resilience and wouldn’t quit the brigade overnight due to scolding.

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan no longer lingered in bed and got up in the pitch-black confinement room.

He felt along the wall edge and pressed a button on the circuit board, "click," turning on the lights.

Under the cold lighting, he picked up the remote control from the ground, turned on the TV, played a disc of "Terror Resonance," Yoko Kanno’s music began to play, and on the screen, the male lead was riding a motorcycle with the female lead on a night-time elevated bridge.

Ji Minghuan yawned, watched TV for a while, then picked up a metal tray filled with toiletries and walked into the bathroom to turn on the faucet.

In the sound of rushing water, he stared blankly at the mirror, washing his face and brushing his teeth.

The hacker’s face flashed in his mind, as Ji Minghuan brushed his teeth, he thought, "Genius, if you can help me find out the location of the Salvation Society base, I’ll let you be my electronic pet for life, okay?"

He thought: It’s an honor for you to be the electronic pet of a villainous elementary school student, later I still want you to record the world travels of Kong Youling and me, of course, by then I wonder if the young lady and brother will be with us...

After a while, the broadcast voice finally sounded in the dead silence of the confinement room: "Restricted Superpower User, No. 1002, Mentor is visiting, quickly make preparations."

Ji Minghuan had just finished brushing his teeth, he moved out of the bathroom, sat at the table, and picked up a bottle of milk and a sandwich from the tray to eat.

Before long, the metal door at the entrance rumbled open.

A man in a white lab coat, carrying the smell of disinfectant, approached, raised his glasses on his nose, and slowly sat opposite Ji Minghuan.

"How do you feel about your first mission?" the mentor asked with his fingers interlocked, smiling.

Ji Minghuan propped his chin, "Feels... London is quite beautiful."

"Anything else?"

"Also, I really wanted to smash everyone’s head, if there was a button that could destroy the world at that time, I’d definitely press it without hesitation."

"Sorry, we hadn’t anticipated so many problems would occur this time." The mentor apologized with a smile, "Logically, Red Traffic Light should merely be a second-tier exorcist, with your abilities, they should have only taken a little while to resolve."

"Who are those people, why did we encounter them?"

"One side is the ’White Crow Brigade,’ a vicious bandit organization. Through our investigation, they seem to have coincidentally been traveling in London and happened to bump into the Red Traffic Light; the other side is the ’Ghost Train Corps,’ a team from the Exorcist Association."

Saying this, the mentor raised his hand to adjust his glasses, "And this exorcist team, I’ve already warned them."

"Why warn them?" Ji Minghuan asked.

"Because not only did they interfere with our work, but they also threatened your personal safety." The mentor picked up his insulated cup, sipped the tea, "Don’t worry, our warning was very gentle."

The gentleness you speak of, does it mean beating Lin Zhengquan half to death? Ji Minghuan silently mocked.

"So what about the Red Traffic Light?" he asked.
