Chapter 138: Chapter 111: Jack the Ripper, Death Deadline, Turning Against Each Other (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Time to wake up."

As a cold voice reached his ears, Xia Pingzhou from Machine No. 2’s eyelids fluttered slightly as he slowly woke up from the bed in the attic.

Opening his eyes, he saw Ayase Origami sitting on the windowsill, reading a collection of haiku.

Moonlight cast a crisp silver edge on her profile.

Ji Minghuan was just about to speak when suddenly a black and white task prompt box appeared before him.

[Main Quest 2: Lie low within the White Crow Travel Brigade, wait for an opportunity to kill the No. 2 member — "Jack the Ripper."]

[This quest now has a deadline: If "Main Quest 2" is not completed by September 01, 2020, Machine No. 2 will self-destruct.]

Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the task’s deadline.

The unexpected death deadline didn’t stir much inside him: "Failing to complete this task means death, that’s absurd... But they’ve given a month and a half, which is quite generous. By then, my Machine No. 2 should have grown to ’calamity level’ strength."

"Even if Jack the Ripper upgrades to a Tier Three Exorcist, at most he’ll be at calamity level like me. There can’t be any opponents at the same level." Thinking this, Ji Minghuan rose from the mattress and put on a pair of Nike sneakers nearby.

"Takayama prepared dinner for you, there’s someone downstairs."

Saying that, Ayase Origami jumped off the windowsill and descended the stairs before him.

Ji Minghuan quietly watched her profile leave, then got up from bed and slowly moved towards the staircase, sluggishly making his way down. Each step was accompanied by the creaking sound of old wooden stairs, which felt quite insecure to walk on.

Upon reaching the ground floor, he raised an eyebrow slightly, only to see the cafe’s door closed, with three guests gathered around a table playing cards. These guests seated on the sofa were all familiar faces. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Member No. 11, Anluns, the slot machine kid.

Anluns was still dressed in a British-style suit today, his blond hair and blue eyes making him quite striking.

Member No. 7, Robert, the mechanical box-head.

Robert wore a white shirt, his head still adorned with a square mechanical box.

Member No. 2, Jack the Ripper.

This person was also still sporting a black and white Japanese high school uniform, with eyes dark as a polar night.

At that moment, Ayase Origami was sitting next to Jack the Ripper, emotionlessly advising her: "Against a seven."

"Against a ten."

Jack the Ripper disregarded her, intending to play a card, only for Ayase Origami to use her superpower to hold the card in her hand, stubbornly refusing to let the card slip from her fingers.

"Against a seven, or you’ll lose." Ayase Origami repeated, her tone calm.

Jack the Ripper looked up from her hand, indifferently replying: "I’ll think for myself, don’t use your superpower to control my play, or else... watch out if I gouge your eyes out."

Ayase Origami remained unfazed.

"Hey... no calling for outside help, that’s unfair," Robert scratched his mechanical box-head, protesting their actions with a metallic voice.

Anluns, however, remained indifferent and laughed, saying: "It’s fine; having Miss Ayase join would only be a hindrance."

Ayase Origami heard this and looked up at Anluns, coldly saying: "Slot machine, you leave next round, I’ll take your place."

Anluns curled his lips: "Don’t bully people; it’s rare for me to visit your cafe. Besides, my name’s not ’Slot Machine,’ I’m called Anluns."

"Boom." Jack the Ripper tossed four cards on the table.

"Pass." Anluns shrugged.

"Pass." Robert shook his head.

Ji Minghuan quietly stood at the staircase, curiously observing the four on the sofa. Until now, he hadn’t realized that Ayase Origami and Jack the Ripper shared such a close relationship.

Just then, Oda Takashige emerged from the kitchen dressed in a butler’s outfit, handing him a hot milk and a baguette stuffed with a hot dog.

"Mr. Xia Pingzhou, your dinner," Oda Takashige said blandly.

"Thanks." Ji Minghuan grabbed the baguette and milk, taking a sip of hot milk, then asked Oda Takashige: "Are No. 3 and No. 2’s relations... good?"

Saying this, his gaze fixed on Ayase Origami and Jack the Ripper.

Ayase Origami sat on the sofa armrest, constantly gazing at Jack the Ripper’s cards, her hanging black hair lightly brushing against Jack the Ripper’s cheek.

Oda Takashige nodded: "When actions require team formation, the young lady and Miss Ripper always group together. They’re very in sync... other than you, Jack the Ripper is probably the young lady’s closest member in the brigade."

"No need for ’other than me’, my relationship with the young lady isn’t that good, I’ve just joined the brigade recently."

Ji Minghuan said expressionlessly, biting into the hot dog baguette, then looked again at the main quest.

[Main Quest 2: Lie low within the White Crow Travel Brigade, wait for an opportunity to kill the No. 2 member — "Jack the Ripper" (Deadline: September 01).]

Staring at the blood-red text on the panel, he raised an eyebrow, intrigued in thought:

"When I eventually kill Jack the Ripper, how will this mafia young lady view me... won’t she start doubting life, realizing her cat killed off the brigade’s closest member."

Actually, until tonight, Ji Minghuan had considered: he might be able to leverage this interpersonal relationship with Ayase Origami — this mafia young lady lacks common sense, and has somewhat cared for him.

This way, when the act of killing Jack the Ripper is exposed to the brigade members, the leader would mobilize the members to hunt him down.
