Chapter 284: Chapter 182: Salvation Squad Arrives in London
"Not our problem," Ji Minghuan said confidently, "No worries, Big Sister and Big Dog will handle it, and if worse comes to worst, there’s always this gaming kid."
He glanced down and saw that Kong Youling’s collar was emitting a "green" indicator light, which meant that the Salvation Society had not unlocked her superpower access.
It seemed that from the start, the Salvation Society had no intention of letting the two of them take action.
"Are they okay?" Kong Youling asked.
"They look fine, just need to work on their sleeping posture." Saying this, Ji Minghuan sat on the ground and lazily turned his head to look at Filio and Sun Changkong.
Both of them were sleeping like logs, snoring loudly.
Ji Minghuan stood up, quickly walked over, and gave Sun Changkong a hard shove, "Big Sister! Big Sister—! Wake up! The base is on fire!"
"Shut up, shut up... Penguin monster, take this from Old Sun..."
Sun Changkong smacked her lips, turned over, and kicked off the blanket, her dark red hair scattered messily on the pillow.
"Time to wake up, Big Sister!" Ji Minghuan shouted close to her ear.
Sun Changkong instantly awoke from her dream, widened her crimson eyes, sat up straight, and stared blankly out the window.
She muttered, "Where is this place..."
"This is London."
Ji Minghuan said softly, then leaned over to gently nudge Filio, waking him up, "Wake up, Big Dog, we’ll need you to bite that so-called Red Light today."
Filio groaned awake, rubbing his eyes, his wolf ears and tail drooping.
"Ji Minghuan, have we arrived in London?" he asked, yawning.
"Yes, we have."
"Wow! Why didn’t you wake me earlier? That’s embarrassing!" Sun Changkong looked at the drool on the pillow and blushed furiously, scratching her frizzy red hair and baring her small fangs in anger.
"You were sleeping with snot coming out, couldn’t wake you if I tried!" Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes at her.
Kong Youling sat on the ground watching the others, chuckling quietly.
"Oh right, before the ship reaches the shore, quickly, quickly!" Ji Minghuan said as he crouched beside the puzzled Kong Youling, snatched the pencil from her hand, and wrote a line on the cabin wall.
Kong Youling looked up and saw, "Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling were here," written on the wall.
After writing, Ji Minghuan turned his head to meet Kong Youling’s gaze, "Alright, that’s the first stop."
Kong Youling clapped her hands silently, saying, "First stop!"
Sun Changkong stared at the names on the wall, raised her fiery red eyebrows, then moved closer.
"I want to write too!" she said.
Ji Minghuan looked at her, "Can you write?"
Sun Changkong was taken aback, "I... I can’t really, Ji Minghuan, you write for me."
"What are you guys doing?" Filio, rubbing his eyes and drowsily dragging his wolf tail on the ground, walked over in a loose hospital gown.
Ji Minghuan pouted and silently added Sun Changkong and Filio’s names next to the line he wrote earlier.
"Are you satisfied now?" he asked.
Sun Changkong put her hands on her hips and said, "Only Mario doesn’t have his name."
Mario sneered, "Boring."
Just then, their collars simultaneously transmitted a voice, "In three minutes, the freighter will approach the Westminster District. Look at this map, the places marked with red dots are the underground bars. ’Eden’ is the name of the bar where your mission target ’Red Light’ is located."
As the voice fell, a light beam suddenly projected forward from the metal collar around Ji Minghuan’s neck, casting a map onto the wall.
The kids nearby exclaimed in wonder as they all stared at the projection map.
"Hey, why am I like a projector?" Ji Minghuan muttered, his face darkening as he raised his gaze to the map.
A thought flashed through his mind, "This location is the underground bar to the east of the Westminster District, near Xia Pingzhou’s hotel."
In that instant, he synchronized his consciousness with the Black Cocoon No. 1.
Suspended beneath the Parliament Building, the Black Cocoon suddenly opened its eyes, took out the phone wrapped in the restraint belt, and checked the received message.
[Ke Qirui: "Swallow Ghost" will complete a gang drug deal within the next hour, and he is the hunt target of "Red Light."]
[Ke Qirui: We must find him within three underground bars. "Red Light" must be lurking around him, waiting for the opportunity. For safety’s sake, the four of us will act together, so we can’t search separately.]
[Ke Qirui: With Mr. Black Cocoon’s strength, investigating the other two underground bars should be no problem, right?]
Black Cocoon raised his hand typing, and hit send,
[Black Cocoon: No need to search.]
The other party quickly replied.
[Ke Qirui: Do you mean you’ve already found it?]
[Black Cocoon: That’s right, Red Light is in the ’Eden’ bar to the east of Westminster. You need to move quickly, time is running out for you.]
Having sent this message, Black Cocoon wrapped the phone back in the restraint belt.
This android is only here to observe the situation from the top of this tower and cannot participate in action.
Firstly, because it’s possible to be discovered by the Salvation Society; secondly, if hackers find a connection between Xia Pingzhou and Black Cocoon, there’s a high risk of suspicion falling on Xia Pingzhou.
With that in mind, Black Cocoon closed his eyelids and switched his consciousness to the perspective of Xia Pingzhou No. 2.

Xia Pingzhou glanced at Ayase Origami still sleeping, quickly got up, put on a coat, simply washed his face, then put on his Face Mask, and swiftly left the hotel.
