My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 72 Telephone
"Wow... let me hear it. Why do you think I'm Mr. Gu Wenyu?"

Hei Pupa put the book into the restraints and spoke with interest, without any panic in his tone.

Ke Qirui said, "Apart from the other members of the train group, there are very few people who know both Mai Mai and me. Gu Wenyu is one of them, and he happens to be in Tokyo." She paused, "It's a simple reason, but I think it's enough."

"He...he, my brother? He, my brother?!" Su Zimai muttered, his fingers still hanging in the air, pointing at the black pupa hanging upside down under the ginkgo tree.

If the last time she heard the captain analyze that his brother was Blue Arc, she still had a series of complex and indescribable emotions in her heart, then this time there was only shock and outrage.

It was so outrageous that Su Zimai even suspected that the team leader had gone insane overnight and that he would say that everyone he saw was Gu Wenyu!

Besides, this thing isn't a human, it's a giant moth! They're completely different species! We should at least respect species isolation. There's no way Blue Arc and Black Pupa could have had a child and created Gu Wenyu! Then I'd be the child of Blue Mouse and Black Moth!

At this moment, Su Zimai's mind was in a mess. The person involved was right in front of him, so he might as well use tough measures to cut the Gordian knot.

"You, take off your mask." She lowered her face and spoke to Hei Pupa word by word.

"Is there a mask on my face? How come I didn't know?"

Black Pupa touched his face, which was covered only with a layer of restraints.

"Then... take off those tattered belts of yours."

"Isn't it rude to ask this of someone you've just met? I suggest you treat Blue Arc the same way. Just say: Mr. Blue Arc, Mr. Blue Arc, could you please take off your mask so I can see your handsome face?"

After saying that, Hei Pupa tilted his head and refused to pay attention to her.

Su Zimai gritted his teeth.

One moment she was contemplating life, the next she received a call. Her phone ringtone, the theme song from the popular movie "Happy Star Cat," rang cheerfully on the quiet Shiba Park trail: "I'm a cat, a happy star cat~"

"Well, it's a very tasteful ringtone, very suitable for a little girl like you who looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside, and is cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Hei Pu said sarcastically, took out a mobile phone from inside the restraint belt, and played the minesweeper game that came with the system with his eyes lowered.

After hearing the ringtone, Su Zimai looked at the phone screen belatedly and was stunned for a moment.

The caller's name clearly displayed three large white characters "Gu Wenyu" - that's right, it was none other than her second brother who was both a rat and a moth.

She raised her head blankly and glanced at the black pupa hanging upside down on the tree reading a book, then lowered her head and looked at the name on the screen, then breathed a sigh of relief. Her hot and short-circuited brain was like being poured with a bucket of cold water and slowly cooled down.

"Captain, my brother called me." Su Zimai glared at Ke Qirui fiercely.

"Your brother?" Ke Qirui raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it was my brother who called me." Su Zimai said as he turned the phone towards Ke Qirui.

Her tone became a little colder, without any panic from before. Like a cold female judge, she made up her mind: Captain, you are fooling me again. I was wondering how my brother could be such a big shot!

Without even looking up, Hei Pu rambled on, "Miss, you can answer your phone first. I'll wait here for a bit, that's fine. By the way, I'm a gentleman and I always respect women. I'm also a feminist and I read Ueno Chizuko's 'Misogyny' every morning. Finally, I'm actually a truly awakened woman, one of you."

"If I believe you are a woman, I might as well commit suicide by disembowelment." Su Zimai actually said these words with the spirit of Japanese Bushido.

Black Pupa shook his head and raised a black finger. "Although my biological gender is male, how dare you assume my psychological gender? Perhaps underneath the mask I'm actually a beautiful girl in a sailor uniform?"

"Do you want to hang up?" Su Zimai asked Ke Qirui, whose phone was still ringing. But answering her second brother's call right now was obviously not a wise move. Ke Qirui put her hand on her chin and thought for a moment: "No, you can go inside the movie Devil's curtain and answer the phone. No one will disturb you, and no one can eavesdrop."

As she spoke, she took out an old-fashioned one-way mirror from her windbreaker pocket and slowly put it on her left eye.

A faint light flashed on the lens, and then a crack suddenly opened up behind her, gradually expanding into a "movie screen".

Hei Pupa watched this scene silently. He still remembered that the two demons in Ke Qirui's retro one-way mirror contract were the "Train Demon" and the "Movie Demon". The wonder that appeared before his eyes at this moment was naturally the work of the "Movie Demon".

The scene behind the curtain was a long, empty street, in only black and white, like the set of a silent comedy.

"Don't run around, you big moth. I have something to ask you." Su Zimai raised his head and said to the black pupa hanging upside down under the tree in a commanding tone.

"Yes, Miss." Hei Pupa replied without raising his head.

Su Zimai glanced at him and stepped into the movie screen. His body suddenly lost all color, leaving only black and white, as if he had turned into a 2D character.

Then she made a phone call on the long street in this silent drama, put the phone to her ear, and started talking to Gu Wenyu on the other end of the phone.

Because the movie demon generates a "silent movie", people outside the movie screen cannot hear the sounds in the movie scene. This also ensures that Su Zimai's conversation will not be eavesdropped by Hei Pupa, and the outside sounds will not be transmitted into the screen.

Ke Qirui stood quietly there, observing the scene behind the screen with his peripheral vision.

A moment later, Su Zimai walked out from the movie screen, and his body turned into a three-dimensional figure again.

She said, "My brother said he can meet us tomorrow afternoon. He just arrived in Tokyo today and is very tired. He doesn't want to go out."

His tone was neither cold nor hot, and he even glanced at Ke Qirui in the middle, as if he was still angry with her.

Ke Qirui thought for a moment and then confirmed, "Are you sure it's your brother's voice?"

Su Zimai said word by word: "Of course I am sure."

"Don't you feel anything strange?"

"No, I can fake the voice, but how could I not hear that annoying tone of his?"

Ke Qirui was silent for a while. During the conversation between Su Zimai and Gu Wenyu, she was staring at Hei Pu the whole time - there was no way Hei Pu would call Su Zimai with his cell phone under her nose and talk to Su Zimai for several minutes.

She curled her lips and said, "It seems that I misunderstood Mr. Black Pupa."

Su Zimai glanced sideways at the black pupa, and a huge weight dropped from his heart. He murmured with a sense of relief:
"I told you my brother couldn't possibly be this giant moth... Otherwise, I'd jump right off the building. Even if he were a Blue Arc, it'd still be better than this giant moth."

"Hey... then you'd better jump off the building quickly. How come I can't even compare to my big brother?" Ji Minghuan said in his heart with some unhappiness.

He raised his eyes from the phone screen and looked at Ke Qirui with his vision hanging upside down, admiring the confusion on the other's face.

The reason why he was able to get away with it was because of a series of preparations he made during the day.
