Chapter 261: Chapter 176 “Don’t Lock Yourself Up.” _2

“Are we done?” he asked.

“Hmm. Don’t be mad at mom anymore.”

“Alright, I got it.”

“And you can’t ignore me.”

“Hmm.”

“Brother, you can’t shut yourself in.”

“Okay.”

Time reverted to the present, and Ke Mingye’s thoughts were once again interrupted by the sound of a plane crashing.

Bai Ziling put down the controller and asked abruptly, “Going out?”

“Why suddenly head out?”

“You’re playing without any focus,” she said, “Let’s go to the aquarium.”

“With the recent hot weather, better not to go out. Stay home more. Bai Zini said she’ll be home soon, she plays better than me, I’ll let her keep you company.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Zini pushed open the door and walked in, her head lowered, seemingly deep in thought.

“See, here she comes.”

As he spoke, Ke Mingye glanced at Bai Zini passing by the sofa, quickly got up, pushed her onto the sofa, and handed her the blue and white Switch controller.

Only then did Bai Zini belatedly react, lifting her eyes from her dark bangs to stare at Ke Mingye.

“What’s up?” she asked.

“Quick, play games with your little sister Xiao Ling. I’m going to take a nap. Call me when it’s time to eat.”

After saying that, Ke Mingye went upstairs without looking back, thinking to himself that the two of them better not cause any trouble. It’d be best if they both stayed home, to avoid one being caught by a Blood Clan Hunter and the other by the Witch Church…

“This Witch Church and Blood Clan Hunters are eager to make a move on my two sisters, it seems they’d turn the whole city upside down to come after them. I don’t even know who will strike first, nor what their origins are. Damn it, with all their maneuvers, Huanjing is going to be trampled into a quagmire… might as well not bother and just hop on a train and get out of here.”

“Still not important enough within the Alliance, no seniority, otherwise I could have forced Xizi Yue to tell me… I should have been able to find out what this ‘Witches’ Night’ is all about.”

While pondering, Ke Mingye moved back to his room, locked the door casually, and flopped onto the bed in a star shape.

Just as his gaze shifted toward the ceiling, a message bubble popped up in the top right corner of his field of vision. He raised an eyebrow and tapped to pop it, bringing up the discussion panel.

[Gastella: Hello, can we meet today?]

[Gastella: Last time I only saw Spider Man and the Paranoid classmate, can I meet the others this time? Like Fan Quan, Unsettling Dreams, Good Orange Peel, Cai Bing.]

[Good Orange Peel: Just to clarify, I’m in Japan. I’ve just stayed in this discussion group and haven’t left. You won’t find me in Huanjing.]

[Gastella: Japan?]

[Failed Man: He’s indeed not in Huanjing, I can vouch for that.]

[Failed Man: Where shall we meet, are you bringing those vampire hunters?]

[Gastella: Of course.]

[Failed Man: Can’t you come in person? Otherwise, it’s really insincere.]

[Gastella: You talk like this and it makes me very embarrassed, exposing me in front of so many people.]

[Failed Man: So, is it okay or not?]

[Gastella: Depends on the situation. So, can Fan Quan come or not?]

[Failed Man: He’s missing, hasn’t made a peep these past few days.]

[Gastella: Wow, that’s troublesome.]

[Gastella: Let’s meet tomorrow then. I’ll bring you to them, tomorrow at noon, same old place, that open-air cafe.]

[Failed Man: No, you bring them to the open-air cafe.]

[Gastella: Well, that’ll depend on the situation, I don’t fully trust you yet.]

Ke Mingye sighed lightly and thought: “What to do… Let’s see Gastella’s reaction first, hoping to see her Blood Clan Hunters tomorrow, but the problem is… if she finds out I’m using a puppet, then her suspicion of me will increase.”

He was lost in thought when another chat panel popped up.

[Cai Bing: Paranoid is looking for you.]

[Failed Man: What does he want?]

[Cai Bing: To run an instance.]

[Failed Man: Just him and me?]

[Cai Bing: Yeah. Sweet duo queue. It shouldn’t be hard for you to carry him through an instance, right?]

[Failed Man: You are invincible, buddy. What’s the reason?]

[Cai Bing: We’re still not clear on Gastella’s background. She’s only met the two of you, me and Fan Quan can’t show ourselves easily. If you get targeted while running the instance, that’d be trouble.]

[Failed Man: What about Paranoid? I am just a puppet, it’s no big deal if Gastella is onto me, but Paranoid is different.]

[Failed Man: Last time, Gastella didn’t act against me and Paranoid because the Black Judge was at that cafe. This time it’s different.]

[Cai Bing: Then let Paranoid die.]

[Failed Man: Holy crap, hacker lady, that’s too cruel.]

[Cai Bing: It would be better if you could finish him off yourself, stab Paranoid to death. To prevent him from falling into Gastella’s hands and spilling our info.]

[Cai Bing: Anyway, go handle your Paranoid master. Given his temper, if you ignore him, I’ve got no clue what he’d do.]

[Failed Man: You’re unbelievable… so which instance are we supposed to run?]

[Cai Bing: Remember the basement Fan Quan took you to last time? Where you used the brain imaging helmet on Che Zhengchen.]

[Failed Man: Don’t tell me there’s an instance there?]

[Cai Bing: There really is.]

[Failed Man: Oh, I’ll go check it out.]

[Cai Bing: Paranoid is already waiting for you in that alley in Hongdeng Commercial District. When you have time, add him as a friend with your real body, it’s killing me to keep contacting him through me.]
