Chapter 248: Chapter 167 Family eting Second Loop (Part 1)
Linjiang Business District.
Amidst leaping electric arcs, thorny vines twisted like countless pythons, entwining every corner of the street.
The comrcial street no longer looked as prosperous as it once had, but rather like a unique maze with both modern features and the wild traits of untad nature.
Black Wukong stood still at the center of the street, tilted his head, and gazed silently at the distant blue owl through his mask. He remained silent, his emotions complex.
It was sowhat funny to say, but the reason Bai Qiuwu had gone out was because she had recently seen the news on Weibo that “Dice Monster had appeared again at Huanjing Tower!”
Given the previous examples, the mont she saw the news, Bai Qiuwu subconsciously thought that this strange thing was probably inviting her to et again, right?
To pay attention to it seed rather pointless;
Yet to ignore it didn’t feel quite right either… Who knows whether it would do sothing utterly shocking out of boredom.
But she really didn’t know what kind of reason to co up with to et it; being led by the nose every ti would be rather embarrassing.
Just then, she rembered that today “Dice Monster kidnapped the Commander but then released him unhard” had happened, so Bai Qiuwu thought she might as well ask this strange thing what mischief it was up to today, thus giving her a reason to et it.
Imdiately, she left the house without looking back and rode the Sorsault Cloud towards Huanjing’s Number 7 Overpass.
When Bai Qiuwu hurried to the Number 7 Overpass, she found not a single soul there, so she had no choice but to sit alone on the railing, staring blankly at the brightly lit city in the distance for a while, unfortunately still failing to wait for the Dice Monster’s appearance.
In the end, she felt like a grudge-bearing person who had been stood up on a date, sowhat irked, yet also feeling as if she was making too much of it: Not every ti the strange thing rolled the dice did it an to chat with her on this overpass, not to ntion the passing ntion of “Ninja Mr.” which she had subconsciously taken as babble and ignored…
Just as Bai Qiuwu was about to dejectedly pick up her Jingu Bang to go ho, she suddenly heard a huge commotion from Linjiang Business District, thinking since she had already co, it wasn’t a wasted trip if a superhuman cri incident had occurred.
Bai Qiuwu then rode the Sorsault Cloud at top speed to the place, had a glance, and that led to all the subsequent events.
At this mont, seeing Black Wukong staring at him, blue owl slightly tilted his head, tilting his beak as well.
“Er… hello?”
He spoke slowly, greeting her and waving from a distance.
Black Wukong watched him for a while and then let out a sigh of relief.
Since her current Golden-Eye Fire-Viewing ability could not see through substantial objects, only illusions, she couldn’t see who was beneath the blue owl mask. Moreover, the other party was using a voice changer, making voice recognition unrealistic.
“Should I get tough and pry off his mask?”
She thought this and then shook her head.
“No, better not. There are plenty of other thods and ans to confirm his identity. Prising off his mask now might actually put him in danger.”
While thinking this, Black Wukong glanced sideways at those fearless dia reporters and passersby filming with their phones. In such a situation, she definitely couldn’t unmask blue owl in public, regardless of who the person beneath the mask was.
So, she took out her phone from the pocket of her tal windbreaker and typed rapidly on the screen with her fingers wrapped in her gauntlet before turning the screen toward blue owl.
Blue owl looked closely and saw the ssage on the screen: Are you hurt.
He shrugged and replied, “Minor injury, just a broken rib or two. With a superhuman physique, it’ll heal in a couple of days. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Black Wukong. If you hadn’t arrived in ti, I’d probably be torn in half by that bad woman by now…”
“That’s good to hear.”
Black Wukong continued to type and raised the screen to respond.
anwhile, she made a ntal note of where blue owl was injured, planning to go ho and grill Ke Mingye, turning into a step-by-step advanced reading machine, pressing exactly where it hurt to see if the lad would keep pretending or not?
Of course, if he didn’t react, she’d actually be happier: Having a dragon brother and a Magic Girl sister at ho was enough; adding a superhero brother would make daily life utterly unbearable.
She glanced back at the unconscious Black Rose, beneath whom a pool of blood had already ford.
Although the Ninja claid to have shown restraint, it didn’t seem completely the case: Such a wound would have already been fatal for a weaker superhuman; luckily, Black Rose’s body had a natural healing ability, so she could withstand this amount of blood loss.
Bai Qiuwu had initially thought about having blue owl take Black Rose to the Association Building, which would have allowed him to gain so credit.
But if Black Rose was only pretending to be unconscious, that would be a huge problem; with this lad’s modest skills, a nearly defeated counterkill would be more than enough.
After all, blue owl was not like her, receiving daily martial arts instruction from Sun Wukong.
Though the monkey taught in a rather half-hearted way, as if humoring a child. In Chinese mythology, the majority of Sun Wukong’s battles were won with exceptional strength rather than martial arts, but this did not stop him from being innately smart and self-taught.
