My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 151 - 118: Storm, Tokyo, Bloody Auction (Part 3)

Amid the sound of rain, the rain clouds covered the sky of Tokyo.

The rain was getting heavier, with no sign of stopping; tons of rain fell from the sky as if trying to drown the entire city.

At this moment, inside a remote abandoned building.

Xia Pingzhou was sitting in the corner of the top floor, playing chess with Ayase Origami, while glancing at team member number 7, Robert, who was resting his head.

"Why is Robert still here?" he thought, "If the leader infiltrated the auction, he should have brought number 7 along."

"It’s your turn." Ayase Origami’s cool voice interrupted Xia Pingzhou’s thoughts.

Xia Pingzhou lifted his head and drew a cross in the tic-tac-toe grid with a pencil.

"I won." Ayase Origami drew a circle and then connected five circles into a line with a pencil, "Kitten, not focused."

Xia Pingzhou was indifferent, his mind racing with thoughts.

"If the leader wanted other team members to enter the auction, he must use team member number 7 ’Robert’s’ ability—Robert can open a door connecting to any place he’s been to."

"But team member number 7, Robert, is staying here in the abandoned building, not moving at all."

"So that means... only the leader infiltrated the auction?"

Thinking this, Xia Pingzhou turned his head, expressionless, and said to team member number 9, the hacker, "Where’s the leader? Didn’t he say he would tell us the plan five minutes before starting the action?"

"The leader’s already in the auction." The hacker said, without looking up, while fiddling with his phone.

"The leader is inside the auction?" Xia Pingzhou enunciated.

The hacker closed his phone and looked at Xia Pingzhou, "Right, Robert is also in the auction. He’s about to open a door for us from inside the auction; we just have to wait here."

Xia Pingzhou slightly paused and asked, "But isn’t Robert here?"

Upon hearing this, other team members also cast their glance, a hint of surprise on their faces.

Then they all looked toward team member number 7, Robert, who was sleeping with his head against the wall, his mechanical helmet covering his expression.

In the silence, team member number 11, Anluns, suddenly drew a pistol from inside his suit.

Then Anluns removed Robert’s mechanical helmet, revealing a man with a gagged mouth and a bruised, swollen face. The man was unconscious.

Anluns covered his ears, raised the gun, and smiled as he pulled the trigger on the man’s head.

"Bang—!"

The sharp gunshot exploded in the silent abandoned building, blood splattered, and the man slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Hacker, explain." Jack the Ripper said coldly, tilting his head, "What’s going on now?"

"An interesting farce." Bloodline held his face with both hands, raised his eyebrows, and smiled slightly.

Ayase Origami also lifted her head, glancing sideways at the shot "Robert."

Lan Duoduo was taken aback, and after a moment, tilted her head and muttered, "Since this Robert is fake, then where is the real Robert?"

The hacker spoke, explaining to everyone:

"The real Robert is with the leader inside the auction. And the Robert who slept here for hours was an underground fighter Anluns kidnapped last night but put a mechanical helmet on him."

He paused and lowered his voice, "The leader said there might be a mole among us. That mole disclosed our capability to the auction people, so he let us perform this act in front of you..."

Saying this, the hacker turned his head to Xia Pingzhou and said flatly:

"Newcomer, I initially thought the mole was you. But you’ve been with us all the time, and I’ve been monitoring your phone records. Every text, every sentence you’ve said lately, I’ve kept an eye on, indicating the mole isn’t you."

Xia Pingzhou’s face showed no expression.

After a moment of silence, he replied unhurriedly, "That’s quite a joke; my heart is still in Jack’s hands. Betraying you would be seeking death."

Bai Tanlang raised his hazy left eye, quietly watching this scene, then spoke:

"The leader deceived us too..."

Andrew lowered the brim of his cowboy hat and smirked, "As expected of the leader, always coming up with things that surprise me."

"Alright, since the misunderstanding has been cleared," Anluns said, putting the pistol back in his suit pocket, "then Robert should be about to open the door for us from the auction."

Saying this, he lowered his voice, "Let’s go; it’s time to make a scene."

....

....

Meanwhile, inside the Mirror World’s auction hall.

The red curtain on the auction stage had already lifted, and the guests from the mafia family were applauding, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax, with some guests cheering loudly.

Then, a male and female host appeared on the auction stage, reciting a script to warm up the atmosphere.

The man’s appearance was naive like a golden retriever, his bushy eyebrows raised, always wearing a gentle smile; the woman wore a green-blue skirt, responsible for enlivening the atmosphere, teasing the guests with a microphone.

Blue Arc crossed his arms, quietly watching this scene.

Suddenly, he received a series of text messages, so he opened his phone and took a look.
