My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 801 - 404: Moonlight, Truth, Su Zimai’s Doubts

Time is 1:30 AM on August 26th, in China Li Jing.

The night was deep, the Li Jing Iron Tower was brightly lit, but the top exhibition platform was empty, and Gu Wenyu and Su Zimai were nowhere to be seen.

And at this moment, a streak of pitch-black lightning was swiftly racing through the city.

It raced so fast, yet made no sound at all—this was because when Gu Qiye used this lightning, the electric light swallowed the thunderous sound as it moved.

The black lightning raced swiftly upwards along the surface of the skyscrapers. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The next instant, Gu Qiye arrived at the rooftop of the high-rise building.

He squatted slightly at the railing, his gaze covered in lightning sweeping across the entire city. But in those bright lights were only laughing crowds and couples on midnight dates.

Nowhere did he find even the slightest hint of anything strange or out of place.

It was as if the incident at the train station was just a dream.

The deceased brother suddenly appeared two weeks later? And kidnapped his sister? It was absurd beyond belief, Gu Qiye's mind was a mess.

He lowered his head, silently watching the lights around Li Jing gradually dim. After one or two o'clock, the streets would see fewer and fewer people; the whole city was slowly falling asleep.

Gradually, the night enveloped the city like a curtain.

In just the past ten minutes, Gu Qiye had nearly searched kilometers around the city, even running back and forth several times. He had checked every place Black Cocoon used to frequent, even the exhibition platform at the top of the Li Jing Iron Tower.

No matter what, he had not found any trace of Black Cocoon or Su Zimai.

After a while, Gu Qiye descended from the top of the building to the bustling center street, where the crowds were still noisy.

Gu Qiye stood forlornly in the center of the intersection, watching the throng slowly engulf him, unfamiliar figures passing by without anyone noticing his presence.

"Xiaomai, Wenyu..."

He slowly lowered his head, murmuring softly. Suddenly, someone called his phone.

Gu Qiye silently picked up the phone, glanced at the caller's name, clicked to answer, and put it to his ear.

"Still haven't found them?" Gu Zhuo Case asked in a deep voice.

"No... I haven't found them," Gu Qiye said softly.

"I see..."

"Dad, I was thinking... maybe he really is Wenyu, just that something has gone wrong," Gu Qiye thought aloud, comforting, "I think you can rest assured, if he is Wenyu, he definitely wouldn't put Xiaomai in any danger."

Gu Zhuo Case was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath. He asked, puzzle-ridden:

"But if he is Wenyu, how could he use Xiaomai's life to threaten us?"

At these words, Gu Qiye was silent too. He lowered his head, thought for a while, then shook his head, murmuring, "Maybe he just has some unspeakable hidden?"

On the other end, Gu Zhuo Case said in a deep voice, "No... I don't believe my son would do such a thing... He would never joke about Xiaomai's safety, absolutely not."

Gu Qiye had no words; he also didn't believe Gu Wenyu would be involved in such absurdity.

He lowered his head, his eyes slightly wandering.

Honestly, at the train station, seeing Black Cocoon using a restraint belt to tie up Su Zimai, Gu Qiye suddenly thought of those corpse puppets controlled by the Father of Puppets.

At that time, his mind was filled with such thoughts: could it be someone from the Salvation Society turned Gu Wenyu into a puppet, then had him kidnap Su Zimai, to threaten and lure them into the Salvation Society's trap?

But for both Gu Zhuo Case and Su Zimai, such a thing would be too cruel—their most beloved family member turned into a puppet after death, who could accept that?

Therefore, thinking this way, Gu Qiye did not mention the possibility at first.

Suddenly, Gu Qiye thought of the chaotic writing on the drawing board made by the shadow.

At that time, Black Cocoon wrote so quickly. Within almost a second, the words on the drawing board transformed several times.

Gu Qiye couldn't see what Black Cocoon wanted to express, just slightly struck by the frenetic scene, unable to utter a word.

For some reason, when watching the shadow wrapped in a giant cocoon, Gu Qiye seemed to feel his anxiety, pain, and worry as if fleeing from something yet forced to face it.

Thus, he just stayed on the spot, looking up at the drawing board's chaotic, disorderly words, fearing for his sister's safety while striving to understand what Black Cocoon was expressing.

"If you really are Wenyu, what were you trying to tell us at that time... Why do you look so painful? I don't understand, I really don't understand... As a brother, I'm really so foolish, so useless."

Gu Qiye hunched his back, stood silently on the zebra crossing, murmuring noiselessly.

Yet at this moment, Gu Qiye's mind suddenly flashed with the words Black Cocoon wrote on the drawing board.

At that time, he only vaguely remembered a few names, one name left a deep impression.

"Ji... Minghuan?"

He murmured. For some reason, Gu Qiye felt a peculiar familiarity with this name, a familiarity that felt somewhat dissonant.
