My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 787 - 400: Epilogue, The Path of the Rebel Crow

"I still feel like it's all so surreal." Anluns said nonchalantly, "Rabbit Head and I went to the casino for a bit, and when we came back, we found three people had run off, two were dead... Do you think that's reasonable, Rabbit Head?"

"Don't mention it, Slot Machine Kid." Robert lowered his voice, speaking deeply.

Anluns put his hands in the pockets of his suit, lowered his head, and murmured with a wry smile, "It's such a pity... I actually quite liked the newcomers, and Sister Ripper too. I never expected things would turn out like this."

At this moment, Ryukawa Chiba, sitting in the corner, ordered a bottle of liquor from the attendant pushing a cart, giving her a polite smile.

Throughout the entire White Crow Travel Brigade, he seemed to be the only one whose mood appeared light and at ease, with no trace of gloom or melancholy on his face.

Ryukawa Chiba picked up a cup, poured himself a glass of red wine, and while savoring the drink, turned his head slightly, casting a sidelong glance at the distant, silent girl in a white kimono.

She was like a doll, lowering her head motionless, her gaze empty and lifeless.

Ryukawa Chiba raised an eyebrow, only then noticing that in Ayase Origami's palms, there sat a small plastic cat charm.

...

...

Meanwhile, in China, Hai Fan City, at a cemetery on a remote hill.

The typhoon that made landfall last night left this hillside cemetery in disarray, with trees toppled, scattered leaves swirling chaotically, and many headstones tilted in unsightly directions.

Thus, when Zhuge Hui arrived early in the morning, it took him a long time to tidy up the entire cemetery. Resting his old back, he almost wished to conjure a rain of fire with a wave of his folded fan to reduce the cemetery to ashes.

After that, Zhuge Hui and Lin Xingshi together buried Zhou Jiuya's coffin in the earth and erected a headstone for him.

"Old Crow, Old Crow, I told you back then you shouldn't be so arrogant. How foolish... If you had eliminated them all at the auction, we wouldn't be in this situation now." Zhuge Hui sighed while waving his folded fan.

Lin Xingshi shrugged, "Alright... He's probably complaining from underground now. The man's dead, and you're still nagging at him. Let him rest in peace for a while."

With that, the two walked towards the hillside, gazing at the distant fjord, taking a breath of fresh morning air.

Zhong Wujiu was severely injured, though he had been saved, he remained bedridden and needed to recuperate for another day or two.

The people of the Zhou family didn't come either. They were very disappointed in Zhou Jiuya; no one was willing to acknowledge that the heir they had high hopes for ended up dying in such a humiliating manner due to Spiritual Control.

Thus, it was an especially quiet funeral, with only Zhuge Hui and Lin Xingshi silently coming to bury Zhou Jiuya's body into the ground.

At this moment, the two leaned against a maple tree, chatting leisurely while looking up at the sky, cleansed crystal clear by the storm.

"Iceland, huh?" Zhuge Hui waved his folded fan.

Lin Xingshi nodded casually and said, "Yeah... Iceland. If we want to find out who was targeting Jiuya and Wujiu, we can only go there to seek the truth." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"But Captain... Could it be a trap by the Nian Beast?" Zhuge Hui asked cautiously.

"If it wanted to kill us, we would have been dead when we were ambushed by the brigade." Lin Xingshi shook her head, "My life was saved by Little Nian. I don't believe he would deceive me."

Zhuge Hui almost retorted, saying how could you become so childish every time you encounter that Nian Beast, but in the end, he just sighed softly.

He said, "You might be right. If it weren't for the Child of the Year Beast's help yesterday, I would have had to fight a desperate battle against the brigade to protect you and Wujiu. The outcome would have likely been grim, given their superior numbers, and I alone wouldn't have been their match."

"Hmm, so do you still doubt him?" Lin Xingshi thought for a moment, then turned to ask.

Zhuge Hui sighed, "Whether doubtful or not, I'm definitely going to Iceland. I think with Wujiu's character, he won't let the ones who caused Jiuya's death off the hook, and I can't persuade you otherwise. I'd rather risk my life to accompany you this time."

Lin Xingshi took a deep breath, her fiery red braid swaying in the wind.

She said softly, "Salvation Society, this time we must uncover this organization's true face."

"Of course." Zhuge Hui said, "But before that, let's go meet up with the Gu Family people first."

"The Gu Family?"

"Yes, the Child of the Year Beast said it, Black Cocoon is still alive." Zhuge Hui waved his folded fan, "I think this pitch-black guy will become our guiding light, so it's better to find him first."

"Makes sense." Lin Xingshi nodded, "Then when Wujiu's injuries have healed, we'll head to Li Jing, to ask the Gu Family about Black Cocoon's whereabouts."

The two chatted away as they walked down the mountain, through the swirling maple leaves.

...

...

In another corner of the world, over the North Pacific.

The Celestial Wolf spread its vast, shadow-casting bone wings, swiftly soaring over the sea, its pupils reflecting the grey line where sea meets sky.

"Huff... Huff..."

The wind pressure hit directly, causing the giant wolf's fur to flutter noisily, like a flattened white tent. At this moment, a girl in a red dress with light makeup and a short-haired young man in a black coat sat on its wings.

Xia Pingzhou placed his hand on his bent knee, sitting quietly on the dragon's wings, gazing upward at the sky, clear as if washed by water, boundlessly blue, the horizon clearly visible in the distance.
