My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS

On the morning of August 4th, Black Cocoon flew over Li Jing, its transparent body bathed in sunlight, revealing only some discolored contours.

While spinning forward, he typed on his phone to communicate.

[Black Cocoon: I'm actually curious, why was Lin Zhengquan singled out by the Salvation Society? Since they killed Lin Zhengquan, why didn't they just take care of you all as well?]

[Ke Qirui: When we went to his house, we found that his computer was destroyed, and some printed documents on the printer were also missing. He might have secretly investigated things he shouldn't have.]

[Black Cocoon: Red Traffic Light?]

[Ke Qirui: Maybe, the only clue he knew about the Salvation Society was "Red Traffic Light", he must have discovered something...]

Black Cocoon squinted its eyes, finally understanding: Lin Zhengquan might have secretly uncovered evidence of the Mentor meeting with the Red Traffic Light, leading to him being targeted by the Mentor.

Even, the Salvation Society had warned Lin Zhengquan once, but he hadn't given up those clues even after returning from the hospital.

Black Cocoon thought, Zhengquan was still too upright; he probably wanted to clear the name of Red Traffic Light and expose the evidence of it being manipulated by the Salvation Society?

A sudden cool breeze blew over the city, making him shiver slightly. He put away his phone, and the restraint belt danced like spilled ink, driving his light body forward.

Before long, he arrived at the agreed meeting place with Mu Long.

It was a pitch-black corridor. Mu Long wore a gray cape and a medieval knight's helmet, standing motionless in the darkness.

He closed his eyes, leaning silently against the wall. Moments later, he finally awaited Black Cocoon's arrival.

"How have you been, Mr. Mu Long, though it's only been a day since we parted."

Black Cocoon hung upside down below the ceiling, leafing through Hugo's "Les Misérables" while greeting him.

"How did my brother die?" Mu Long asked.

He had seen today's news; a head was hanging above a streetlight, captured by a passing citizen's camera, and reported to the police.

"Attacked by an unknown superpower user." Black Cocoon said, "Died miserably, as if only a head remained."

"What about the people from the train group? Where did they go?"

"They escaped." Black Cocoon said, "They were victims too; if they didn't flee, they might have met the same end as Lin Zhengquan. You don't need to take your anger out on them... Surely they're not feeling well either."

"Who… killed my brother?"

Mu Long's voice remained calm, devoid of anger, yet subtly trembling.

"Salvation Society, have you heard of this name?" Black Cocoon said, "Your brother was accidentally drawn into a series of events related to the Salvation Society, which led to him being targeted by them."

"Salvation Society?"

"Exactly." Black Cocoon said deeply, "It's an extremely dangerous organization, more dangerous than Rainbow Wings. With your current strength, if you fight alone, you can't possibly contend with them."

"Tell me where they are."

"Are you planning to seek death? Charging mindlessly isn't something a wise person does."

"Tell me!"

Mu Long finally couldn't suppress his anger, suddenly opening his eyes, his pupils bearing a chilling gleam.

"I won't tell you, even if you stab me to death now, it would be useless." Black Cocoon shook his head, "Your brother wouldn't want to see you sacrifice yourself for him."

"What's the point of living? All my family is dead… all dead!"

"Endure, wait for a suitable time, just like the efforts you made to get close to Blue Arc." Black Cocoon paused, "Have you not already had similar experiences?"

A clear buzzing sound, Mu Long suddenly drew his blade, step by step approaching Black Cocoon, lifting the tip of the knife against his neck.

"If you kill me, there won't be anyone else on Earth to help you get revenge. If you think involving innocent people will vent your anger, you're welcome to try..."

Black Cocoon raised his eyes, meeting Mu Long's gaze upside down.

"Mu Long, calm down, we need him." Ghost Bell emerged from the darkness, reminding in a low voice.

They remained deadlocked for several seconds.

"Was my brother's death related to you?" Mu Long broke the silence.

"I can't say."

"Did you deliberately guide him to get close to the Salvation Society, was his death within your expectation?"

"I warned them long ago, but they didn't listen. If needed, you can contact Mr. Zhengquan's friends to inquire about the exact scenarios then."

Mu Long stayed silent.

"Your brother originally had a chance to escape, to get away. The Salvation Society had warned him once and let him go." Black Cocoon said, "But for his sense of justice, Lin Zhengquan chose to oppose the Salvation Society, wanting to expose the truth of 'Red Traffic Light', but that was undoubtedly futile."

He paused: "He was too weak, yet too determined, hence he died."

"What should I do?" After a moment of silence, Mu Long asked.

"I will help you find a chance for revenge, but for now... I need you to continue to endure." Black Cocoon said slowly, "If you act impulsively, everything will be over, this isn't an easy fight, the opponent is stronger than the Blue Arc you dream of killing."

Hearing this at the end, Ghost Bell took a deep breath, remaining silent. He really couldn't understand why this pitch-black entity couldn't speak plainly, even mocking him, a passerby, making it hard not to feel anger.
