Chapter 632: Chapter 364: Liuli’s Vision, Zeus Takes Action (Double Chapter)

But back then in Osaka, Japan, when he inquired using the Black Cocoon’s identity, Urushibara Ryuri didn’t respond at all, merely stating her experiences were unrelated to what Ji Minghuan was seeking, so he had to give up.

Yet now, he seems to have an opportunity to understand the story of the two through this travel route.

Bloodline also cast a curious glance at the two at this moment; she had already been drinking all night before Xia Pingzhou arrived, and now she was a bit intoxicated, her face a warm shade of rosy pink.

"The captain’s sister is named Urushibara Ryuri, and she disappeared a few years ago, as if she had been spirited away," said Yanmo Lin. "No matter what, the captain couldn’t find any trace of her."

"Urushibara Ryuri..." Xia Pingzhou lifted his head, murmuring the name softly.

"Urushibara Ryuri was a superpower user, but at that time her superpower was just awakening, and its specific effect was still unknown. It was during those few days that she disappeared."

"Was someone targeting her ability?" Xia Pingzhou asked instinctively.

"That’s a possibility," Yanmo Lin thought for a moment. "The captain then entrusted a very trusted former member to use divination to assess the life and death of Urushibara Ryuri."

"And the result?" Bloodline swirled her red wine glass, propping her chin as she casually asked.

"The result was, she was already dead," Yanmo Lin said. "And the captain didn’t doubt this result as that member had been with the group for a long time."

"Dead?" Xia Pingzhou raised an eyebrow.

"That’s right, dead," Yanmo Lin nodded. "But after that, someone resurrected her, turning her into a puppet."

"Turned into a puppet..." Bloodline raised an eyebrow. "It’s quite impressive for a power user to achieve such a feat."

"That organization seems to be the Salvation Society, the one behind those kids we ran into in London. The captain found out after exchanging intel with Black Cocoon."

Xia Pingzhou fell silent for a moment. "Salvation Society..."

"Salvation Society, what a chilling name," Bloodline muttered. "So... 1001 is currently inside the Salvation Society, which means I really should find out where the Salvation Society is."

At this moment, her gaze grew increasingly dazed, the burning liquor flowing like fire through her veins, and the jazz music in the bar gradually became hallucinatory.

"If someone could help you find the Salvation Society, would you go with them?" Xia Pingzhou asked.

"Of course, I joined the group to find 1001. If I could already find him, what reason would I have to stay here?" Bloodline said without hesitation.

"Then you risk being turned by Black Cocoon, I must remind the Hacker to keep an eye on you," Xia Pingzhou said flatly.

"Naughty..." Bloodline lay her head on her crossed arms, closed her eyelids, and mumbled indistinctly.

"You guys are incredible, chatting away and going off-track," Yanmo Lin said faintly.

"Back to the main topic, how did the captain know his sister became a puppet of the Salvation Society?" Xia Pingzhou continued to ask.

"His sister contacted him on her own," Yanmo Lin said. "Through a letter.

"What did she say in the letter?" Xia Pingzhou asked.

"She said in the letter, ’Let’s play hide and seek, just like when we were kids,’" Yanmo Lin said expressionlessly. "She also mentioned becoming a puppet and not being her former self anymore."

Bloodline and Xia Pingzhou were silent for a while, they exchanged a glance, with some emotion in their hearts.

Xia Pingzhou thought, yes, Urushibara Ryuri knew her brother so well, how could she not know that if Urushibara Osamu found out she had been made into a puppet, he would end her ’life’ immediately once he found her. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This is a hide-and-seek game destined to sorrow, where someone must hide, yet yearns to be found by the other party.

"Was it Black Cocoon who told the captain about Urushibara Ryuri’s location?" Xia Pingzhou asked.

Yanmo Lin kept his eyes down as he wiped the Demon Blade, saying, "Yes, Black Cocoon helped the captain find Urushibara Ryuri’s puppet."

"This Black whatever Cocoon has been quite active recently, who exactly is he?" Bloodline asked in a low voice.

"I don’t know, but he’s a clue about the Salvation Society, the captain is very interested in the Salvation Society now," Yanmo Lin said.

"It’s quite challenging to catch him, that guy is elusive," Xia Pingzhou boasted.

Bloodline slowly lifted her head. Her fast metabolism had almost sobered her up from the alcohol. She raised her head to look at the TV, cradling her face in her hands, "Speaking of which, those four from Lake Hunting have such interesting combat styles, don’t you think?"

"I see you’re looking to get hit by a Bronze Pillar," Xia Pingzhou said indifferently.

"Boring," Yanmo Lin said.

"I heard this person is the weakest among Lake Hunting," Bloodline continued.

Xia Pingzhou also lifted his head, looking at the TV screen mounted on the wall.

In the high-definition restored video, a figure in a long robe and magua waved a folding fan, and then a huge Eight Trigrams formation appeared in the sky, causing a celestial phenomenon. From the center of the Eight Trigrams formation, a torrential rain of fire fell from the sky, sprinkling over the forest.

In an instant, a whole forest of demons turned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Xia Pingzhou diverted his gaze from the TV, pouring himself a glass of iced orange juice.

He said, "By the way, is the captain such a vengeful person? I thought he had no feelings for the members, and we were just pawns to achieve his goals."

"I feel that the captain isn’t that resentful; for him, both Lan Duoduo and Oda Takashige were just replaceable members," Yanmo Lin said.
