Chapter 49 Uninvited Guest

The night of June 6th, the Beijing Ring Road No. 20 Viaduct.

This viaduct was officially abandoned a few years ago due to structural safety risks.

The police set up a fence at the entrance and strictly prohibited vehicles from entering. The street lights that could be seen every 25 meters on the viaduct were dim at this time, and the only source of light was the bright moon hanging in the night sky.

The deep moonlight shone down, and every street lamp emitted a cold glow, casting long and slender shadows on the empty road, like a devil blowing cold air.

Above the deserted and desolate viaduct, the puppet had just stood up from the railing when he discovered that the area within ten meters around him was covered by a layer of red-gold flames, tightly fitting like a pig cage immersed in molten lava.

The puppet stood on the bridge railing and looked around slowly.

The air on the viaduct heated up rapidly, and his thin body twisted and swayed faintly in the white mist rising from the road, like the strange human figure in "The Scream" by Norwegian writer Edvard Munch, which could be destroyed in the hot wind at any time.

"Samadhi True Fire?" Ke Mingye thought, "So this ability is also within the scope of Sun Wukong's path... I've really learned a lot. I've never seen my sister use this trick on the dark web before. She's really serious about it."

Black Goku stood in the moonlight on top of mad clouds, looking down at the puppet trapped in the Samadhi True Fire. There was not a trace of emotion in his scarlet pupils, like a warden looking at a prisoner in jail.

She pulled a cell phone from the pocket of her metallic gown, typed quickly into the memo, and then turned the screen toward the doll.

It read: "You lied to me. I waited for you for a long time in that western restaurant."

The puppet raised its empty eyes and looked at her, tilted its head, and said:

"I know you're angry, but can you not be so fierce?"

The cold eyes behind Black Goku's mask seemed to have replaced the verbal response. She stretched out the dark golden stick standing behind her and pointed the tip of the stick at the puppet's head.

Then, even the stick was faintly covered with a layer of red-gold flames, like a torch used for executions.

"What is this, Samadhi True Fire? It seems like you are planning to roast and eat me..."

The puppet spread his hands and said, "If you make such a commotion over the city, someone will come soon. I suggest you put out these annoying fires, and then we can have a good chat?"

Seeing that the other party did not react, it reached out and touched the Samadhi Fire burning on the bridge railing. Its entire left hand was instantly burned to ashes by the flames, leaving nothing behind.

"It's so hot, so hot, so hot, so hot! It's so hot--!"

The puppet pretended to shout while swinging his broken arm and stomped his right foot on the bridge surface. Then he regained his composure the next second, raised his hands high, lowered his empty eyes, and stared at the other person dimly.

He said, "I'm kidding. It's not hot at all. You can burn me to death. I allow you to do that..."

The puppet paused and spoke in a long tone: "But then you will never know the truth of the matter, and you will never know why I know your identity, and... your sister Bai Zini is the magical girl Ashes."

When Black Goku heard the name "Bai Zi Ni", his pupils were instantly covered by red-gold flames, but that flash of fire was fleeting.

She narrowed her eyes, still keeping calm, and a cold voice came from behind the mask: "Tell me, who are you?"

"Are you finally not typing on your phone?" The puppet grinned. "That's just like trying to cover up your mistake. I know who you are."

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question..."

Black Goku said in a deep voice, and the fire on the viaduct burned even more fiercely.

"My name is 'Weird Thing', I'm unemployed and I just became disabled."

The puppet said, raising the stump of his arm that had lost its hand, and waved it in front of Black Goku's eyes, "Look, I only have one hand left, and my life is ruined. It's all your fault. Is this what a superhero should do?"

"This is not your body. You are just a puppet, or a machine." Black Goku said coldly.

"Oh, you figured it out." The puppet raised a non-existent eyebrow and said, "Yes, that's why I came to see you without restraint."

"What exactly is your purpose?"

"Just want to make friends with you."

"Are you kidding?" Black Goku asked almost word by word.

"No, I'm lonely, so I need friends." The puppet raised a finger and said in a low voice: "Listen, I have a special ability that allows me to see the identities of everyone in the world and the truth behind them. So, on the bus... I saw at a glance that you are the 'Black Goku' on TV."

He paused and asked, "Oh, by the way...when you usually appear, you always tie up your right hand and the golden hoop with chains. Why didn't you do that this time?"

"Because I came here prepared to kill you."

"As expected... Then you usually wrap that chain around your hands to remind yourself to stop in time and not kill anyone, right?" asked the puppet.

"It seems you know me quite well." Black Goku's eyes were cold.

"Of course, I can see the anger in your eyes. The gods are really a terrifying existence... Has your humanity been distorted by the so-called gods unconsciously, becoming so... gloomy, furious, and weird? And has it been from a certain day that you gradually found that you are no longer like yourself? You can't control the anger in your heart. You start to fear that you will lose control, so... you picked up the chain and tightly wrapped it around your arm and the so-called golden cudgel."

The puppet said in a deep voice, his empty eyes staring into the eyes behind Black Goku's mask. They looked at each other in the light of the fire.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "People want to gain the power of God, but they are attacked back. How presumptuous of themselves, isn't it?"

Black Wukong took a deep breath and asked slowly: "How much do you know?"

Ke Mingye thought for half a second and then started his classic nonsense speech.

“I think I know everything in this world.”

The puppet cast its gaze toward the brightly lit city with a gloomy expression, saying, "But because of this, I am very lonely. You know, I am so lonely that I almost want to commit suicide. Knowing a lot is not a good thing sometimes. I often want to empty my mind, but I can't. The information pours into my brain like a tide, strangling my neck."

Black Goku was silent for a moment: "So you approached me just for fun?"

"Of course, I won't attack your family, nor will I attack you, and I won't affect your family relationships, but..." the puppet said, "If you don't make friends with me, then I will make friends with those big bad guys."

He paused and said, "Maybe one day, they will suddenly ask me, 'Who is Black Wukong's true identity? Do you know?' Then I will give out your name, and all your family members as well."

The eyes behind Black Goku's mask flashed, and she stepped on the surging clouds under her feet to come to the front of the puppet, raised the golden cudgel and placed it against its neck.

"You dare?" she said coldly.

"It's not that I don't dare, but I don't want to...as long as you are willing to be friends with me

The puppet covered its face with its hands, tilted its neck, and slowly lowered its face, its voice as low as a dog that had fallen into the water.

"Listen, ma'am, I'm not a bad person. It's just... I'm just too lonely. I'm so lonely that I can only use this method to get your attention."

Black Goku was silent for a long time, then he moved closer to its face and stared into its empty eyes.

"You are a monster..."

"Oh, I admit it, otherwise your sister wouldn't call me 'weirdo'." The puppet said dejectedly.

"Wait, this is the name she gave you?" Black Goku's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

"Yes, you can ask her." The puppet said to himself, "What a good name, isn't it?"

At this moment, a teasing voice with a very mechanical magnetic force suddenly came from behind the two of them, and suddenly sounded on the viaduct.

"You guys are having a really good time, can you let me join you? Better put out the fire first, this thing doesn't look like it would welcome me."

Following the source of the sound, the two turned their heads at the same time. Through the swaying flames, they could see a figure slowly walking towards them from the other end of the viaduct. The sound of footsteps echoed on the silent viaduct.

Looking up, the uninvited guest was wearing a black swallowtail windbreaker and an angular mask on his face. In the middle of the mask was a striking blood-red "V", and the rest was covered in a layer of black.

At this moment, his information was also transmitted into Ke Mingye's mind through the puppet's eyes.
