Chapter 657: Chapter 371: The Gu Family Joins, the Death of the Seven Deadly Sins

Hai Fan City, this is inside one of the mansions of the Lin Family distributed in this small city.

The first ray of sunlight pierced through the thin paper window, shining on the potted plants on the windowsill.

At this moment, Lin Xingshi was sitting on a swivel chair behind the desk, quietly reviewing documents, seemingly having heard something interesting, so she lifted her eyes from the pages.

She curiously looked at Zhuge Hui, her fiery red long braid swaying slightly in the morning breeze.

"Old Hui, were you just talking about those few from the Gu Family?" she asked.

"Could it be that there are others outside?"

Zhuge Hui smiled slightly, a clear light in his eyes, "If we need some people to help us watch the brigade, they would be quite suitable."

"Let me clarify first, the group you’re talking about does not include our genius Exorcist Lord Maimai." Ke Qirui coughed twice, speaking earnestly, "Though she’s also a member of the Gu Family, she was almost scared into a Diaper Demon by the White Crow Travel Brigade before. You wouldn’t expect her to face off against the White Crow Travel Brigade again, would you?"

Saying this, she leaned closer to her pipe, took a puff, and couldn’t help but chuckle, "Let’s hope she doesn’t get scared into some new weird species this time."

"Nobody mentioned your little sister," said Zhuge Hui, tilting his head, "Anyone with eyes knows her capabilities; who would send her on such a suicidal mission?"

Ke Qirui shrugged her shoulders, hearing the disguised sarcasm in Zhuge Hui’s words.

Back then, she took Su Zimai to the Tokyo auction, believing that with her Ghost Train Corps, along with Zhou Jiuya’s power, they could completely wipe out the White Crow Travel Brigade.

But who would have thought that it rained heavily in Tokyo that day, and Zhou Jiuya fell into a deep sleep. If it weren’t for Xia Pingzhou’s secret help, Su Zimai might indeed have been in trouble.

"That little sister you’re talking about might just be eavesdropping at the door and give you a slap when you go out." Ke Qirui released the pipe, teasingly said, "Don’t underestimate her; with her temper, she might do anything."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Hui hurriedly covered his mouth with a folded fan, shaking his head, "My apologies, my apologies, I shouldn’t have spoken lightly of the genius Exorcist Lord Maimai."

"Well... guess how she’d describe you? Looks young, but talks like an old person. Slick-tongued, with a whiff of old age." Ke Qirui continued.

Zhuge Hui’s face darkened, but the corner of his mouth still held a kind smile.

Zhou Jiuya slightly furrowed his brow, taking a deep breath, "Handling just a few insects, and we need outside help? Does it not disgrace us Lake Hunting people?"

"In the end, Old Crow, weren’t you too arrogant back then? If you hadn’t let them slip at the auction, would we be dealing with this now?" Zhuge Hui shook his head.

"Just one month, I’d like to see how strong they could have become."

"Let me lay it out for you, the White Crow Travel Brigade destroyed the Terrarium and seized a heap of treasure artifacts. Their combat power has since changed drastically." Zhuge Hui tapped the mahogany desk with a folded fan.

"In what way has it changed?"

"Recently, that Catastrophe-Level Superpower User ’Julius’ from Hokkaido’s New Leaf Village Prison was also taken down by them... You and I both know how strong Julius is." At this point, Zhuge Hui waved his folded fan.

He glanced at Zhou Jiuya, "Do you really think a bunch of minions could take down Julius?"

"Just fish with extra spikes, still just fish," Zhou Jiuya said indifferently, "Don’t exaggerate so much, Old Hui, I didn’t know you’ve gotten this silly."

"Alas, this child is beyond teaching." Zhuge Hui sighed, shaking his head.

"Old taste," Zhou Jiuya also sighed.

"You..."

Zhuge Hui got angry, raising his folded fan, pointing at Zhou Jiuya, veins appearing on his forehead.

"Our genius Diaper Demon calling you old-tasting wasn’t a joke," Zhou Jiuya said coldly.

Listening to their conversation, Ke Qirui, leaning against the wall, suddenly thought of something.

She put the pipe back into her trench coat pocket, quietly lowered her head, her eyes subtly moving.

At this moment, she was calculating whether to bring up "Xia Pingzhou" with the Lake Hunting four, in case Xia Pingzhou really gets taken out by them later.

But speaking up at this time might not be good, since Xia Pingzhou is already planning on how to get out from the brigade. If anything happens because of this, it might disrupt his plan.

After thinking it over, Ke Qirui decided to keep this secret to herself.

Besides, even if she said it out loud, she didn’t think the Lake Hunting people would show mercy to Xia Pingzhou given their characters.

In their eyes, even if Xia Pingzhou initially wanted to be an undercover, later on, he had no choice but to partake in many massacres. Staying in the White Crow Travel Brigade long enough, there’s no way to detach from those beastly acts.

Xia Pingzhou was long no longer a clean person.

"You two don’t rush, let’s first see what the captain thinks." Zhong Wujiu spoke coldly.

Ke Qirui looked up at him once, the youth in a black coat and evil ghost mask rarely spoke. But when he did, his voice unexpectedly sharp and clear, not as low as Ke Qirui imagined.

Zhuge Hui covered half his face with a fan, looking at Lin Xingshi, "Captain, what’s your take?"

"I don’t think it’s good. Since the brigade is targeting our Old Crow, how can we pass this risk onto outsiders?" Lin Xingshi lowered her head in silence for a while, then shook her head.
