Chapter 107 Major Event : Dragon Ninja War (I)

July 7, 4 a.m., in the living room of Bo Ke’s house.

The sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, slightly disturbing the curtains along with the morning breeze, leaving a mottled beam of light on the floor.

The black cat half-closed its eyes and lazily curled up on the carpet by the window, as if it was lying in a bathtub filled with bath water, basking in the sunlight of just the right temperature.

There were a few cartoon animal pillows scattered on the light brown sofa, and a few magazines and the remote control were lying there quietly on the TV cabinet.

The living room was so quiet that you could almost hear the ticking of the clock, and occasionally the sound of a whistle or birdsong would squeeze in through the gaps in the curtains.

At this moment, seeing Bai Qiuwu packing her backpack, Bai Zini hurried over to her, pacing on the spot while saying, "Sister, help me take this."

After saying that, she handed a folding umbrella to Bai Qiuwu and motioned for him to put it in his schoolbag.

Bai Qiuwu took the umbrella and asked knowingly, "Why bring an umbrella in this weather?"

"This is a parasol. I don't want to get darker after the holiday and be laughed at by my classmates when I go to school." Baizini replied.

"Come on, we are here to play in the mall, not to go shopping, why are we exposed to the sun?" Ke Mingye sat on the sofa and casually complained to her.

He was wearing a T-shirt and casual shorts today and looked very comfortable.

Bai Zini glared at him and said, "Won't it take time to walk there?"

"Then you must take the subway. Who will go with you?" Ke Mingye said.

Bai Zini stood in front of the full-length mirror in the living room, tied her hair into a high ponytail and said, "What if it rains later?"

"It's going to rain in this weather so I'll just eat shit."

As Ke Mingye spoke, he glanced out the window. The sky was clear and the winding clouds extended all the way to the blue horizon.

Bai Zini rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head and used her phone to search for the weather forecast on Baidu, then fiercely raised the screen to face him, "The weather forecast says that it may rain soon, what do you say, brother?"

Bai Qiuwu put the folding umbrella into his backpack and interrupted the quarrel that was about to start between the two.

"Okay, I've got the umbrella for you. Just follow me when you need it."

"Good sister, I love you." Baizini curled the corners of her mouth at her.

Bai Ziling put on sunglasses and a sun hat, tidied her messy white hair in front of the mirror, smoothed the wrinkles on her white skirt, then turned her head to look at Ke Xiaomo who was walking down from upstairs.

"Are you ready?" Ke Xiaomo asked, hugging his shoulders.

"Where is my eldest brother?" Bai Ziling asked.

Ke Xiaomo replied helplessly: "He just finished taking a shower and is drying his hair. He will be down soon."

"If you don't understand, then ask, what kind of American schedule is this? How can Chinese people take a shower in the morning?"

Ke Mingye said disdainfully, thinking that Ke Yinzhi had retained many of the habits he had when he was on missions abroad.

"Maybe he is preparing to study abroad." Ke Yongzhu said. He was wearing a blue jumpsuit today and looked like he was not asleep yet. He was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed and taking a nap.

Ke Xiaomo said calmly: "Don't tell me, with his grades, he might be able to study abroad."

"Talking about me?"

Ke Yinzhi said as he walked down the stairs. He was still wearing a long black coat today, his shoulder-length black hair was messily draped behind his head, and he had a black earring on his right ear.

Earrings? Could this be the communication device between Big Brother and the Control Bureau?

Ke Mingye asked, "Brother, have you pierced your ears?"

"I've always had them, but I just don't wear them very often." Ke Yinzhi smiled.

Ke Xiaomo put his arm around Ke Mingye's shoulders and told him, "Don't be like your elder brother. Study hard."

"How could I learn to be so perverted like you two? When you were in high school, I saw you hanging out outside every day, but your grades are still so good, like ghosts." Ke Mingye shook his shoulders.

Bai Qiuwu raised his eyes to look at the two of them and echoed, "I also want to know how they did it. They don't help me with my homework at home. Otherwise, do I need to go to summer tutoring classes?"

"Your grades are already good enough, why do you need us to tutor you?"

Ke Xiaomo said, walking to the sofa and ruffling Yongzhu's hair with his hands: "Yongzhu, wake up, it's time to go out and play."

Ke Yongzhu slowly opened his eyelids, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and stood up from the sofa listlessly: "I'm so annoyed. Can't you guys set the time for the afternoon?"

"I may have something to do in the afternoon." Ke Xiaomo replied.

"I happen to have a date too." Ke Yinzhi smiled and put his hand on Ke Xiaomo's shoulder.

"It's too hot in the afternoon. I hate the sun." Bai Ziling said softly.

After hearing what the first two people said, Ke Yongzhu wanted to refute, but when he heard Bai Ziling also said so, he had to curl his lips and said, "Okay then."

After saying that, he walked towards the entrance, turned the doorknob and opened the door, "Come on, let's go watch a movie."

Bai Zini walked to the shoe cabinet, put on her sneakers, and while tying her shoelaces, she looked up and said to Ke Yongzhu, "Who wants to watch a movie with you? We'll go shopping in the mall when we get to MixC, and you can watch it by yourself." Ke Yongzhu crossed her arms behind her head, "Then I'll watch it alone. Is that a big deal? Who was the last person who punched me in the face after watching a horror movie? I really want to watch it with you."

"It wasn't intentional."

After saying that, Baizini tied her shoelaces tightly, stood up, and let her high ponytail rise and fall.

"I think you did it on purpose." said Ke Yongzhu.

"Then I'll watch it with my brother." Bai Qiuwu slung over her schoolbag and teased, "How pitiful it is for him to be alone. He will secretly wipe away his tears in the cinema later."

"Yes, yes, wipe your tears." Ke Yongzhu yawned.

Bai Zini turned her face towards Ke Mingye and stared at him with anger in her eyes: "What about you, brother? You won't accompany me too, right?"

Ke Mingye avoided her gaze: "As for me, it depends on the situation."

Ke Yinzhi glanced at his phone, put it back into his coat pocket, shrugged and said, "There's nothing good to watch in the movie today. I'll accompany your second brother to the bookstore near Vientiane City. Come find us when you're done."

Bai Ziling said expressionlessly: "Then I'll go shopping with my sister. My sister is so pitiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zini hugged her shoulders and rubbed her pale face: "You are worthy of being my good sister."

"Don't plan so much for now, we'll talk about it when we get there."

After that, Ke Xiaomo took the lead and walked out of the house, pressing the button on the elevator sign. Soon, seven people took the elevator downstairs and walked to the nearby subway station.

Getting on the subway, the seven people squeezed in the crowd filled with the smell of disinfectant, each leaning against the wall of the carriage playing with their mobile phones. When they arrived at the station, they got off the train one by one.

They separated at the intersection in front of the "Vanxiang City" shopping mall on Luodehua Commercial Street.

Ke Xiaomo and Ke Yinzhi found a secluded coffee shop not far away and sat down, while the other five went to the mall to play.

On the way to Vientiane City, Bai Zini asked Bai Qiuwu to return the folding umbrella. She had to pretend to hold the umbrella for just a few steps, which was very pretentious.

Bai Ziling lowered his sun hat and looked up at the traffic light through his sunglasses.

While playing with his mobile phone, Ke Mingye kept his eyes moving quietly, paying attention to any movement nearby.

The electronic screen on the building was broadcasting the beauty advertisement endorsed by Xiziyue; the street was crowded with people, some holding coffee in their hands, some looking down at their phones, and some carrying briefcases with numb expressions.

The traffic stopped one by one under the traffic light signs, and left one by one as the green light came on.

He was very curious whether these people would suddenly jump up in the next second, lift up their clothes, and reveal a ninja uniform wrapped in black cloth.

Or maybe a car passing by suddenly opened its window, and a rain of daggers and kunai shot out, piercing all five of them like a hornet's nest.

Fortunately, the imagined scene did not happen, and they arrived at Vientiane City smoothly.

Ke Mingye, on the pretext of being too lazy to walk, accompanied Ke Yongzhu and Bai Qiuwu to the fifth floor of MixC to buy three movie tickets. They sat outside the cinema for a while before their tickets were checked in and they were allowed to enter.

Bai Zini and Bai Ziling were wandering around the mall, occasionally going into a jewelry store, occasionally into a gift shop. The two sisters looked like child stars, and people often stopped to look at them.

At the same time, at Lodhua Commercial Street, Gibson Bookstore.

In the shadows behind the last row of bookshelves, two figures were leaning against the wall, one hugged his shoulders with his eyes closed in thought, the other lowered his head and flipped through a book. The floral wallpaper behind them was not as dazzling as their appearance.

"The notice you received this morning said that the action would start in the afternoon, right?" Ke Yinzhi lowered his eyes and asked while flipping through the book "Remembrance of Things Past" in his hand.

Ke Xiaomo closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. After a while, he said, "Yes... This is what is written on the scroll tied to the blue bird. I confirm that it is the handwriting of the sect master."

"Is it really okay for me to intervene?" Ke Yinzhi said, "Didn't you say that the Ninja Clan has strict rules that forbid outsiders from getting involved in these matters?"

"Rules are rules, but I need you."

Ke Yinzhi paused as he turned the pages of the book, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "It's rare for you to say something that a younger brother should say, so I have to help."

"Compared to this, from just now, have you felt that there is something wrong with the people walking on the street?"

As he spoke, Ke Xiaomo opened his eyes and cast his peripheral vision towards the French window on the right. Through the window, he could see the figures of people on the street. They kept passing by outside the library.

"It's not quite right," Ke Yinzhi continued to calmly flip through the pages of the book. "Although they act very natural, their body movements and expressions reveal a sense of affectation."

Ke Xiaomo's eyes wandered, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It seems that they have targeted us. Several guests in the library have disappeared, and the administrator has also left."

"Wow... who dares to target us? They are really blind."

Ke Yinzhi closed the book in his hand and slowly stuffed it back into the gap of the bookshelf, speaking jokingly.

The next moment, a figure walked in from outside the library. He was dressed in a white robe, with his back to the sunlight, and his solemn face shrouded in shadows.

A-class hero of the Super Hero Association, Ink Writer.

At the same time, a loud explosion and the roar of some kind of beast were heard from Vientiane City, not far from Luodehua Commercial Street, resounding throughout the entire street.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
