Chapter 119: Chapter 100: The Last Three Members of the Brigade (Second Update, Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

"I don’t understand Cantonese," Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow, turning to meet her childlike bright gaze, "are you from Hong Kong?"

"Sure am." Lan Duoduo smirked, "My name’s Lan Duoduo, number 5 in the brigade."

"Xia Pingzhou, number 12." Ji Minghuan paused, "I thought all Anecdote Envoys were foreigners."

"China has quite a few Anecdote Envoys too, don’t be stereotypical."

Lan Duoduo laughed, bumping him with her shoulder.

Ayase Origami approached and said coolly, "Kitty, sit inside."

Ji Minghuan shifted his position, making space for her, and sat further inside himself, letting Ayase Origami and Lan Duoduo sit together—truth be told, he wasn’t very comfortable with Lan Duoduo’s easy familiarity, so he welcomed the help from the young lady.

Lan Duoduo looked up, glancing at the boy with dark circles and the man dressed like a cowboy from the American West: "You two gentlemen, aren’t you going to introduce yourselves to the newbie?"

"Number 8, just call me ’The Hacker,’ that’s what they all do," the jumpsuit boy said listlessly.

"Number 6, I’m called ’Andrew,’ this newcomer seems quite popular to get attention from our dear Ayase," the cowboy uncle said animatedly.

"Number 12, Xia Pingzhou." Ji Minghuan said.

Lan Duoduo chuckled, "Haha, no need for introductions, we actually heard about you on the way, heard from the young lady you defeated Oda Takashige?"

"That’s true." Oda Takashige didn’t deny it, "Well, I’m going to prepare the ingredients for tonight’s meal, you all can flip the café’s open sign."

With that, he walked out from the washroom, vanished into the shadow at his feet.

"So sleepy... I’m heading upstairs to find a place to nap, keep the noise down," said the hacker boy yawning, as he went upstairs, likely to take over Xia Pingzhou’s mattress.

Andrew pulled up a chair to sit, the table was so crowded it was barely possible. He said, "Oh wow... didn’t expect not only womanizing skills but actual talents too, you even beat old Takashige, the newcomer?"

Bloodline sipped some red wine and mocked, "Didn’t see that coming, did you? The milk-drinking kitty is quite fierce."

"My kitty." Ayase Origami lowered her head to look at her haiku book, mildly emphasizing.

"Alright, alright, your kitty." Bloodline responded nonchalantly.

"How come you all seem to have such good relations with the newbie? I was only late to Tokyo by two or three days and now I can’t even compete," Lan Duoduo laughed, resting her chin on her hand, her sapphire earrings ringing.

Andrew glanced at the bottle of red wine on the table, licking his lips: "Pour me a drink, Bloodline lady."

Bloodline raised an eyebrow, curled her lips in a smile, "This wine I brought myself, it contains the blood of that superpower user ’Embers’ we killed in France, you sure you want to drink it?"

"Hey, who cares?" Andrew remained unmoved, took off his cowboy hat, "I’ve never tasted wine with human blood, maybe it’ll be thrilling."

"Considering you don’t usually call me ’old lady’, I’ll share some with you." Bloodline poured a glass and pushed it to Andrew.

"I always respect a beauty," Andrew grinned, "No matter the age, a beauty is a beauty; when I was a cowboy in the American West, I even dated a woman in her fifties."

"Spare us... that’s so greasy." Lan Duoduo scoffed, elbowing Andrew hard on the shoulder.

Ji Minghuan calmly sipped some steamed milk and curiously asked, "I’m a bit curious, what are number 6 and 8’s abilities?"

Andrew took the wine mixed with blood and gulped it down, his face turned various shades before wiping his mouth and shouting:

"Woohoo, oh yay, uh-haha—! Damn, that’s thrilling, is this the blood of France’s strongest superpower user, it’s like there’s fire in my stomach..."

After a while, his eyebrows, which had been raised high and trembling slightly, finally calmed down, his complexion eased, and Andrew pushed the wine glass away like he’d lost a life.

He glanced at Xia Pingzhou, squeezed out a hearty smile and said:

"Number 12 little brother, I’m an Exorcist like you."

Lan Duoduo added, "This sleazy cowboy uncle’s Celestial Driver is a sniper rifle, usually likes to hide and shoot stealthily from afar. Seriously, when he gets serious, he can shoot through a building."

"And number 8 then?" Ji Minghuan asked, referring to the boy in the jumpsuit who called himself ’The Hacker.’

Lan Duoduo said, "Hacker’s ability is quite complex, but it’s related to internet data, you can ask him if you’re interested."

Andrew shrugged, silently drank some plain water to tone down the wine, then spoke:

"Number 8? Just an internet-addicted kid!"

Lan Duoduo said coolly, "But this internet-addicted kid happens to be the world’s best hacker, the head let Oda Takashige search across half of China to find this little prodigy and drag him into the brigade."

Ayase Origami said expressionlessly, "With kids and old ladies, the leader must have thought this way the brigade’s ecological balance is maintained."

Bloodline slammed the wine glass on the table, smiling at her with a chill in her eyes, "Ah... our gang lady sure is unfriendly when she speaks."

Lan Duoduo promptly intervenes to stop the impending argument, "Don’t go wrecking Takashige’s café, he’ll flip out if he comes back."

Ji Minghuan interjected, "I’m more curious, who’s the strongest in the brigade? Where does Oda Takashige rank?"

Bloodline thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, we recognize the leader or little Jack the Ripper as the strongest, Takashige ranks relatively low, the young lady and I are on par."

Lan Duoduo sighed resting her chin, "Before you came, I was second to last, sigh... just want to shoot all these people secretly, dammit."

Upon hearing this, Ji Minghuan finished the last sip of hot steamed milk, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and silently filled in the White Crow Travel Brigade’s member list in his mind.

....

Number 1: Unknown (Leader)

Number 2: Jack the Ripper (Exorcist, Celestial Driver is a dark red dagger, "Quasi-Calamity level," one of the top combatants in the brigade)

Number 3: Ayase Origami (Superpower User, ability is controlling paper entities, "Quasi-Calamity level," combat strength similar to Bloodline)

Number 4: Oda Takashige (Superpower User, ability is to vanish into shadows, control shadows, "Dragon level," ranks mid to low in brigade combat strength)

Number 5: Lan Duoduo (Anecdote Envoy, Anecdote Fragment unknown, "Dragon level," second to last in brigade combat strength)

Number 6: Andrew (Exorcist, Celestial Driver is a "sniper rifle," specific strength unknown)

Number 7: Robert (Superpower User, ability to open a door on any wall linking different locations, functional brigade member, shouldn’t be too strong, likely last if measured by combat)

Number 8: Hacker (Superpower User, ability said to relate to "internet data," strength unknown)

Number 9: Bloodline (Suspected Superpower User, ability is controlling own blood, combat strength similar to Ayase Origami, presumed to be "Quasi-Calamity level")

Number 10: Bai Tanlang (Demon, ability unknown, presumably can become a big dog, estimated at least "Quasi-Calamity level," upper limit unknown)

Number 11: Anluns (Superpower User, ability is to summon a slot machine known to cause an explosion when three "bazooka" symbols align, "Quasi-Calamity level")

Number 12: Xia Pingzhou (Brigade pet, responsible for cat antics and finishing blows, can’t make 12 people without him, "Dragon level")

....

Ji Minghuan sat among the members, quietly pondering: "Blue Arc is one of the best among the Quasi-Calamity level, should handle two Quasi-Calamity levels without much issue, and Dad is stronger than Big Brother, possibly nearing the Calamity level threshold; not to mention there’s Li Qingping, Red Dragon Bro’s strength shouldn’t be underestimated either..."

Judging from this, both sides’ apparent strength might not differ much, with the defenders having a bunch of lackeys for cannon fodder, it’s hard to say who will win the auction.

And for the remaining uncertainties, there are only two people left...

One is the "mysterious guest" mentioned by the hosts;

The other, is the brigade leader who hasn’t yet arrived in Tokyo.

This monstrous leader is the one who will ultimately determine the outcome of the bloodbath at the auction.
