My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 85 - 74: Trap

"I really didn’t expect that before we met Gu Wenyu, we had already confirmed his identity..." Ke Qirui sighed and said, "Don’t you feel guilty about betraying a collaborator’s secret?"

The Black Cocoon shook its head in denial: "Both of you are upright individuals, you will contact Blue Arc sooner or later, especially since one of you is his sister; if I were to sell out his identity to those in the corps, that would really be ’betrayal’."

Ke Qirui sighed slightly and asked, "So how do I contact you after this?"

"I’ll contact you when needed, give you a call, send a text, or perhaps... appear in front of you out of nowhere, though of course not while you’re in the shower, I’m a gentleman."

The Black Cocoon said as it put its phone back into the restraint belt, as if the big fluttering moth was ready to sneak away.

"Sounds like I’ll have nightmares tonight." Ke Qirui joked and then asked, "So ... if I want to contact you actively, I can only do so through Gu Wenyu?"

"Of course, you can interpret it that way." The Black Cocoon replied ambiguously.

"That’s easy then... I happen to have his contact information."

Ke Qirui said while turning her head to glance at Su Zimai, who hadn’t said a word since just now, her expression tired, as pale as a paper-cutout from a textbook, swaying precariously in the evening breeze carrying apricot leaves.

The Black Cocoon scratched its jaw wrapped in a restraint belt, silently looking at the dazed sister and thought to itself: Is this child messed up already?

"Maimai, what do you think?" Ke Qirui raised her hand to poke her cheek, trying to elicit a reaction.

Su Zimai expressionlessly replied in a soft voice, "I don’t want to think about anything, let’s just cooperate."

"A wise choice."

The Black Cocoon said slowly, meanwhile, a task settlement panel was reflected in his eyes.

[Main Mission 3 (Phase 2) Completed: Establish a cooperative relationship with the exorcist "Su Zimai" of the Ghost Train Corps, thereby expanding interpersonal relationships within the Exorcist Association.]

[Mission Reward Acquired: 1 Split Point, 1 Skill Point, 1 Attribute Point.]

[Current Split Points Held: 7, 2 more needed to create the next game character.]

[Main Mission 3 Updated: Cooperate with exorcists "Ke Qirui" and "Su Zimai", ensuring their survival during the auction operation.]

Raising his sunglasses, using restraint sensing to look at the text on the panel, Ji Minghuan’s eye twitched slightly, thinking, you two are indeed a pair of inseparable entities, first time seeing main missions bundled together like this.

Sincerely, he felt he was incompatible with Ke Qirui, best to avoid her in the future—fortunately, he foresaw this and came prepared today, otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.

"Farewell, ladies."

After speaking, the Black Cocoon’s body was pulled upward by the restraint belt.

Like a diver, he stood elegantly and straight on a tree branch, slowly leaned back, falling into a sea of ginkgo leaves. A gust of evening wind blew, accompanied by scattered apricot leaves, and his figure disappeared into the night.

The scenery of Tokyo Shiba Park was still beautiful, but the mood of the people watching was no longer the same.

Ke Qirui wanted to comfort Su Zimai, but suddenly turned her head and saw a Japanese child staying in place.

It seemed he saw the Black Cocoon at the last moment and was scared onto the ground. The area beneath him was wet, seemingly peed himself, and after a while, he started crying.

Ke Qirui quietly watched this scene and suddenly recalled what the Black Cocoon did to a hostage kid at Li Jing Square last time.

"Kid killer..." she shook her head, sighing.

.....

.....

Ji Minghuan manipulated the Black Cocoon floating over Tokyo’s Harbor District, the transparent restraint belt climbing over one billboard after another carved with Japanese, with the salty and humid smell from the port drifting on the night wind in front of him.

Seagulls that strayed into the city drifted past him, shedding white feathers that fell onto the streets—if the Black Cocoon also "shed feathers", then his restraint belt fragments would be scattered all over the city.

To be honest, without that set of tailcoat, his actions were much more nimble and free.

In the past, wearing the coat always required securing the coat’s hem with a restraint belt when hanging upside down, to prevent being covered over his head.

Simply using the restraint belt to stick to his body resolved this hassle—the belt adhered to his body like a second skin, once wrapped, it seemed to integrate with him, making breathing and movement seamless.

In a short time, the Black Cocoon arrived at the hotel where Xia Pingzhou was staying.

Using the restraint belt, he took his phone from Xia’s hand, then hurried towards Roppongi in Tokyo, returning the borrowed phone and book along the way, giving a wave to the astonished store manager with the restraint belt.

Scared another person witless.

Soon, Ji Minghuan slipped through the open glass window, back into the hotel room.

He headed to the bed, reaching out his right arm without looking back, the pitch-black restraint belt crawled like a serpent from the floor to the wall, closing the window and drawing the curtains.

Amidst the "swish" sounds, he lay on the bed, called up the Black Cocoon’s character tree panel.

[Branch One (Hidden): Restraint Sensing (acquired) → Restraint Truth (acquired) → Restraint Color Change (acquired) → Restraint Trap (leaves behind a restraint trap that inherits the abilities of "Restraint Sensing", "Restraint Color Change", and "Restraint Detection")...]

[Branch Two (Frenzy): Restraint Extension (acquired) → Restraint Blade (upon activating the skill, sharp blades attach to the edges of your restraint belt) → Unknown → Unknown...]

[Branch Three (Li): Restraint Detection (acquired) → Restraint Suppression (acquired) → Superpower Stealing (acquired) → Capacity Enhancement (allows you to store two different, plundered superpowers with the restraint belt, and extends the maximum storage time to 48 hours.)...]

Ji Minghuan rested his chin on the pillow, his gaze swept over the three branches, pausing at the text description of "Restraint Trap".

He had previously tested when he had the chance, the Black Cocoon’s restraint belt would turn into worthless rag once disconnected and lose its linkage to the human body.

While "Restraint Trap" was a skill born to fill this shortfall—it allowed the Black Cocoon to leave behind a restraint belt retaining vitality in place, instantly binding the enemy once they approached.

Moreover, as the trap inherited the effects of "Sensing", "Color Change", "Detection", "Suppression" four skills, the restraint belt could scout enemy positions, remain invisible, and suppress the extraordinary abilities of those trapped.

Theoretically, this would be a very useful skill, akin to a Moba game’s "Scout Guard" after a comprehensive enhancement, who wouldn’t use "wards" when playing games.

But Ji Minghuan’s focus wasn’t here, instead he thought: "Typically... the further the skill on a single branch, the stronger it should be, the first branch being developed to this extent, continuing to learn might unearth some advanced skills."

With that in mind, he raised hand to long press the text of "Restraint Trap".

Watching it brighten from dimness, finally blossoming into a highly black, vital color.

[Spent "1" Skill Point, successfully acquired Branch "Hidden" skill—"Restraint Trap".]

[The next skill in Branch "Hidden" is now available to learn.]

He looked at the skill tree, only to see a new skill emerging above the "Hidden" branch—"Restrait Incarnation."

And the effect of this skill made Ji Minghuan arch an eyebrow slightly.
