"I’ll think of a way," Lin Zhengquan said in a low voice, "Considering my share, Yilong should stop; then Xiaomai, you call Blue Arc and we’ll sit down and talk first."
After a pause, he said hoarsely, "A step back, if it’s confirmed that Dad was really killed by Blue Arc, then we’ll talk."
Su Zimai was silent for a moment and nodded.
"If there’s really that opportunity, it would be good," Black Cocoon said quietly, "Do you know, because I was hired...I can neither see Mu Long dead nor see Blue Arc dead, I must ensure the safety of both."
At this point, he spread his hands, "But I’m just a harmless-level superpower user. If I intervene in a battle between two top Quasi-Catastrophe Level entities, I’m afraid I could easily be pulverized, hence why I’m here seeking your help."
However, deep down he had another purpose, which Black Cocoon did not speak out in front of the four people in the ward.
He hoped that this incident would become known to everyone— "Blue Arc successfully stopped a Quasi-Catastrophe Level criminal mixed into the Mutants Association," which would be quite an achievement.
Once the event comes to light, it would be enough to cause a sensation throughout the country, enough to complete the last piece of the puzzle before the big brother joined Rainbow Wings. The rightful source is novel⁂fire.net
Moreover, ever since entering a near-death state during the auction event, when Blue Arc reappeared in the public eye, his strength was evidently enhanced.
It was obvious that even netizens who didn’t have much understanding of superpower users could raise questions at the dining table:
— "Has Blue Arc become faster?"
Based on Black Cocoon’s observation over the past few days, lying in bed, scrolling through Swallowing Silver hamster fan videos while also watching Blue Arc videos:
Gu Qiye’s current strength is just one step away from advancing to Catastrophe Level; and at such a juncture, encountering Mu Long as an equally matched opponent might help him smoothly break through this threshold.
"Old brother, you’ve been under pressure for so long, isn’t it fair for me to put a little more pressure on you to ascend to the heavens?"
Black Cocoon raised his hand to scratch his chin, silently apologizing to Gu Qiye in his heart.
"In any case, the time and location, I’ve already told you, it’s at the commendation conference hosted by the mayor tomorrow afternoon; how you plan to proceed is your business," he said, "Next, I have a cable car date to deal with, all of you, farewell."
With that, he tilted backward from the windowsill, falling a hundred meters towards the earth from above, disappearing from the four’s sight.
Ke Qirui exhaled a breath, pulled out her phone from her coat pocket, and opened the search engine.
She murmured, "Mutants commendation conference, huh? If it’s held tomorrow afternoon, we still have time to find Blue Arc and Mu Long, and talk to them."
The next moment, Ke Qirui glanced at the popped-up results on the screen and suddenly froze slightly.
"What’s wrong?" Xu Sanyan asked, biting a cigarette.
"The time was pushed forward a day, just announced this morning," Ke Qirui spoke quickly, put away the phone, and retrieved the Single-sided Mirror from her pocket, putting it on her face, "Only twenty minutes left, we must rush over immediately."
Xu Sanyan froze, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and looked at the sky outside the window:
"That damn bug fooled us again..."
Lin Zhengquan furrowed his brows, pulled off the blanket, got down from the bed, put on slippers, and looked at Su Zimai’s face, which was in awe.
He said, "Xiaomai, no matter what we must first ensure your brother and my brother are safe."
"Mm, I know." Su Zimai nodded and replied softly.
As his voice fell, one after another, cinema screens rose from the ward, engulfing the shadows of the four.
