My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 819 - 408: Su Zimai’s Mask, the Gathered Gu Family

Moonlight streamed through the airplane window into the pitch-black cabin, falling upon Su Zimai's face. Her eyes were slightly reddened, and her right hand gently stroked the mask's patterns.

"I understand... Let's sleep. After a nap, we'll be in Iceland."

Having said that, Gu Wenyu withdrew his gaze from her face.

He leaned his head against the back of the chair, closed his eyes to rest, while Su Zimai quietly sat beside him, staring dazedly at his profile for a while before resting her head on his shoulder, clutching the mask and sleeping soundly.

The airplane slid along the runway for takeoff, and after a while, it soared into the night sky amidst the roar of the engines.

At this moment, Gu Wenyu suddenly opened his eyes, quietly observing the silver-haired girl in Cabin One through Restraint Sensing.

You Ruirui was walking over.

Gu Wenyu held his breath.

But the good news was she was only heading to the aisle's restroom, so he remained silent for a moment, lowered his gaze to Su Zimai's sleeping face, and closed his eyes once more.

Before long, he fell asleep.

...

...

Meanwhile, in Li Jing, inside an inconspicuous old bookstore.

This old bookstore is nestled in a deep alley, rarely visited. The owner had passed away not long ago, so Su Wei spent some Silver Tael to buy it.

For the past two days, the Gu Family father and son have been staying in the Train Demon's carriage, while Su Wei remained in the old bookstore, sipping tea and reading books, using the time to heal.

After the battle with the White Crow Travel Brigade, Su Wei's hair appeared slightly whiter, and the wrinkles and dark spots on his face were now impossible to conceal.

At this moment, Ke Qirui leaned against the old yellowed bookshelf, arms crossed, conveying some intelligence from the Gu Family father to Su Wei, mostly about events that took place at the station last night.

"President, that's the situation," Ke Qirui said.

"Wenyu is still alive?"

Su Wei murmured in shock, adjusting his glasses.

"Yes, there is that possibility," Ke Qirui nodded, speaking softly, "According to Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuo Case, Gu Wenyu wants us to go to Hof Glacier in Iceland, where he will reveal the truth to us."

She paused: "At the same time, it's also the base of the Salvation Society."

Su Wei lowered his head, frowning in silence for a long time.

"Did he take Xiaomai as well?" Su Wei pondered aloud.

"Yes, Gu Wenyu said he would take Su Zimai to Iceland, seemingly wanting to use this to threaten you," Ke Qirui sighed, "But I don't believe he would do that; something must be off."

Su Wei nodded, speaking softly: "I also think, even if Wenyu enjoys playing tricks, he wouldn't jest with Xiaomai's life."

"However, I believe... It could be a Salvation Society conspiracy," Ke Qirui said quietly, "After all, we've previously encountered their Artificial People and Psychic Ability users."

She lowered her voice: "Two possibilities lie before us: One is Gu Wenyu is alive, under Spiritual Control by the Salvation Society; the other is Gu Wenyu has passed away, and the Salvation Society used his genes to create an Artificial Person, hence the ability to use restraint belt superpower."

Su Wei remained silent for a long time, ultimately choosing not to respond to this but instead asked:

"Where are Qiye and Zhuo'an? Why haven't they come to see me personally?"

"They... They are also quite distraught, so they asked me to relay this to you."

"I see."

Ke Qirui raised her head, quietly observing Su Wei's profile.

"President, do you plan to go with them?" she asked.

At this moment, Su Wei suddenly laughed, "That brat, could he actually still be alive? Even if it's false, I have no reason not to go, my granddaughter's still with him."

Ke Qirui withdrew her gaze, looking down at the desolate alley outside the window. A sliver of moonlight fell on the old bookstore's promotional page on the wall, which Su Wei had just put up himself today.

To advertise the bookstore, hoping someone might visit.

"You're just looking for a reason to convince yourself," Ke Qirui pondered, "Actually, you yearn for peace more, don't you?"

"Yes, I've reached the age where I understand my daughter's feelings," Su Wei sighed, "Su Ying just wanted her family to live peacefully, which is why she distanced herself from this old man."

"If that's the case, I wouldn't suggest you go to Iceland with them."

"Then why did you tell me?"

"Simply because I felt concealing this from you wasn't right," Ke Qirui paused, whispered, "I think we all hope Gu Wenyu is alive, even if there's only a slim chance, don't we?"

Su Wei removed his glasses, rubbed his nose bridge, and closed his eyes to gather his thoughts. After a while, he suddenly smirked and said:

"Tell Zhuo'an and the others that I will go to Iceland."

Ke Qirui remained silent for a moment, smiled, "I knew it."

Su Wei opened his eyes, put his glasses into the case, and looked at her: "Where are they now?"

"Still on my Train Demon, we're waiting to join forces with the Lake Hunting people."

"Lake Hunting, huh?"

Su Wei looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. During the past two days back in Li Jing, he had spent most of his time healing, hardly inquiring about external matters.

"Yes, Lin Xingshi and Zhuge Hui have already investigated and found that those who controlled Zhou Jiuya and Zhong Wujiu are from the Salvation Society," Ke Qirui said, "So, they want to join us on our journey to Iceland to uncover the truth."
