Chapter 518: Chapter 518

"Number 12." Gu Qiye said, "Don’t you have a name?"

"No. I don’t need a name." After speaking, the Father of Puppets took a sip of red wine.

"Why would someone without a name join Rainbow Wings?" Gu Qiye asked, "Don’t you feel like you’re being used... like a puppet?"

"I simply find it interesting." The Father of Puppets removed his glasses, revealing hollow eyes and deep eye sockets. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel{f}ire.net

"Yes, exploring the world is a very interesting thing. Life starts as a blank slate, only when interacting with the world can it gain some color." The Father of Puppets said, "And only from the highest point, the view is broader, allowing one to see the fullest and most colorful spectrum, whether black or white, is so interesting..."

"Alright... I take back what I just said."

After speaking, Gu Qiye took a deep breath, slowly lowered his head, his complexion darkened. Fortunately, the dim light in the box, the drooping fringe concealed his expression.

His lips slightly moved, thinking, yes, I can never forget the color your presence brought to my life that day.

Gu Qiye could never forget the beam of a meteor he saw that day in the Old Jingmai District.

The twilight sky was dyed like daytime, that beam of meteor rose towards the bright moon, then exploded like fireworks, and afterwards, thousands upon thousands of beams of light, like divine punishment, crashed earthward.

Su Ying protected him and Su Zimai in her arms, telling them to close their eyes. When Gu Qiye opened his eyes again, their surroundings were already a ruin, the entire world covered in a layer of fierce and dazzling red, from the depths of the ruins, cries resounded from time to time.

The Father of Puppets put his glasses back on, "Why do you think I am an official puppet? Mr. Qiye. Everything I do is for the exploration of this world, to satisfy my own curiosity, joining Rainbow Wings is merely a process."

"Then what are ordinary people in your eyes?"

"I’m not interested in them, because there are too many samples, too much mediocrity. I prefer observing more unique creatures, they have observational value." The Father of Puppets said mysteriously, "Sometimes I think... if there were fewer half the humans in this world, it would seem less noisy, don’t you think?"

"I think?" Gu Qiye said quietly, took a sip of orange juice, "I think... you should be among that half."

"Your joke is quite interesting, I read your news, originally thought you lacked a sense of humor." The Father of Puppets praised.

"I don’t advise you to talk with that odd person, newcomer." Ke Qingzheng suddenly said.

He turned his head, under neat and straightforward short hair, behind the lenses, cold sharp eyes looked at Gu Qiye.

Gu Qiye had an impression of him, although Ke Qingzheng didn’t talk much, but the title "Flowing Whistle" was easy to remember.

"Just chatting a bit." Gu Qiye said.

Fan Dongqing heard Ke Qingzheng and Gu Qiye chatting and also turned around.

He put his arm around Ke Qingzheng’s shoulder, saying to Gu Qiye, "Why not talk about how your relationship with the white-haired girl is progressing, she’s a big fan of yours, aren’t you unsure about it?"

"We’re just regular colleagues." Gu Qiye responded indifferently, feeling annoyed.

"Alright, alright, which normal colleague stays so glued together?" Fan Dongqing said, "She’s not interested in anyone else, only interested in you, haven’t you realized?"

"We’ve only known each other for a few days, please don’t joke about our matters." Gu Qiye put down the glass.

"Young people are , saying one thing but meaning another." Urushibara Ryuri said with a smile.

"Then are you the same, saying one thing and meaning another?" Fan Dongqing said, "Why is it that none of my solo invitations to you have been successful?"

"For special reasons, I think it’s better to keep a distance." Urushibara Ryuri said, "You’ll understand in the future."

"Now that’s a bit hurtful." Fan Dongqing shrugged, "Are you the daughter of some financial magnate? If I get close to you, would your dominant father have me wiped out?"

"There’s actually a possibility." Urushibara Ryuri said faintly.

While chatting, a white-haired girl in a dress and jacket pushed open the warm curtain, stopping at the door.

She raised her ice-blue eyes, glanced at where Gu Qiye originally was, found he wasn’t there, then scanned around, finally spotting Gu Qiye’s position. But there was no free seat beside him.

So, she paused for two seconds, sat alone in the corner, lowered her head, quietly playing with her phone.

Gu Qiye got up, sat next to her, "Is the meeting starting soon?"

"Yes, in two hours." You Ruirui said, "But it’s fairly close to the Association Building, we have plenty of time."

"Let’s go ahead, the food is basically finished anyway." Gu Qiye said softly.

"Not staying longer?" You Ruirui asked, "It seemed like you wanted to get closer to them." She paused, "Especially the Father of Puppets."

"I really want to get closer to him." Gu Qiye laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Isn’t that the case?" You Ruirui said.

Gu Qiye shook his head, "It’s noisy here, I’d like some quiet, shall we take a walk by the canal?"

After speaking, You Ruirui closed the game on her tablet, and left the box with him.

Two hours later, at the Japan Mutant Association Building.

Commander Chen Xi sat at the end of the meeting table, gazing intently at the meeting materials. After a while, she turned aside, raising her eyes to look at the twelve members of Rainbow Wings.

After confirming that everyone was present, she withdrew her gaze and calmly said:
