Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 121
"Gongsun has been asleep for 12 hours."

Shi Yulian looked at the wall clock in the hall and made the above report.

It was 12 noon, and he was dutifully observing his friend.Gongsun Ce lay motionless on a large piece of rice paper with a complicated pattern drawn on it, and occasionally hummed twice, sleeping soundly like a pig.

Yan Qi was holding a plate of fried sea cucumber with shark's fin in front of the dining table, without even looking at it, he said, "Sleeping for 12 hours and still in a shallow dream, is he a pig?!"

The young man in the suit defended himself out of friendship: "He will be 20 years old in the second half of the year..."

The practice of impermanence usually begins in childhood.Children are simple-minded and have a simple dream structure. Under the care of their teachers, they can quickly enter the deep level. The assistants can also use the secret method to collaborate in dreams and help young children find spiritual light.

But Gongsun Ce's heart has more twists and turns than walnuts, and Yan Qi, as his teacher, is watching from the side without lending a helping hand, which makes his sleep time longer than usual.In Shi Yulian's view, it is normal for him not to go deep into the dream for a long time.

"You know better than me?"

The young man in the suit fell silent.Yan Qi put down his chopsticks: "Wait!"

·
"Gah--! Ha--! Whoa-wah-!"

The biochemical kangaroo croaked like a crow, jumping more and more happily in the sandpit.

Gongsun Ce felt a little nauseous from being bumped.He thought about it and didn't know where he was doing.Why is the sun so dark?What is the ship in the sky?How can there be biochemical kangaroos in the desert?Everything seems inexplicable, but it is logical when experienced.He complained about where he was just now, but he naturally felt that he should be here.

Experience a wild kangaroo cross-country race in the desert.

The sense of dislocation and familiarity made him feel almost schizophrenic.Gongsun Ce subconsciously wanted to close his eyes and experience the game in the hot desert wind.But vaguely, he heard a voice talking next to his ear, and the tone sounded particularly annoying.

"Go to the depths, Gongsun boy."

Go deep, he muttered this sentence.Deep in the desert was an old apartment building, he was going there, going there...

After walking for so long, it's time to arrive.Thinking of this, Gongsun Ce had an idea.

"drive!"

As soon as he pulled the rein - there shouldn't be such a thing just now, but somehow it was there - the biochemical kangaroo responded loudly: "croak!"

The kangaroo punched twice, pressed its body, and rushed forward with its head buried.They crashed straight into the towering sand dunes, and rushed out of the straight tunnel from the front, causing the high mountains of yellow sand to collapse behind them, causing a large amount of sand and dust to fly in the sky with the wind.Not long after, the rampage of the biochemical kangaroo caused a sandstorm in the desert.

When the wind and sand covered the entire sky, they finally arrived at their destination and came to the old apartment building.

Gongsun Ce got off the kangaroo, patted his partner on the face, and said solemnly.

"Well done, friend. A great adventure. I assure you, I've never had a biochemical Kangaroo Fort."

The biochemical kangaroo said: "You are lying. When the new product was first launched, you joined in the fun and bought one with Caldesia."

"I haven't eaten since then, it's really bad." Gongsun Ce waved his hand, "See you again, good friend. Next time remember not to play boxing hurdles on the main road, it will make everyone beat you you."

"Ah, goodbye friend, goodbye~!"

The biochemical kangaroo sang a song, and its body turned into yellow sand and returned to the desert.Gongsun Ce wept sadly, with deep emotion, tears streaming down his face.

He sat in the dust and sobbed for a while before he wiped away his tears and stepped into the apartment building.

The moment he stepped through the door, all the vague feelings disappeared, the unnatural sense of harmony faded away immediately, and calmness and reason returned to his mind.He clearly remembered the purpose of his trip: he was practicing in his dream, trying to find the spiritual light in his heart.

"--Wow."

And he didn't know the so-called actions just now were also clearly remembered by him.The gray-haired young man opened his mouth and said dryly, "People are really stupid in their dreams."

·
There appears to be no elevator in the building.It was very weird, when he realized this, a spiral staircase suddenly appeared in front of him.

"So sweet, thank you for my heart."

Gongsun Ce talked to himself, and climbed up the stairs step by step.He confirmed that he had reached the second floor, but the sign in the corridor said "2".

"Are you going up to the negative floor? To be honest, it looks like a haunted apartment building." The gray-haired young man said nonchalantly, "Am I going up or down?"

After 0.1 seconds he got the answer to this question.The moment these words were blurted out, the soles of Gongsun Ce's feet were empty, and the original floor was replaced by endless and deep darkness. Gravity pulled his body, causing the young man to fall to the bottomless bottom.

"This trap mechanism is too old-fashioned, is my taste so nostalgic?"

He sighed, and said without expectation: "Let you see my super power to float in the air..."

He couldn't use his mind power, nor could he use his white matter. The sense of powerlessness that belonged to ordinary people reminded him of Xu Junyi's fight against each other.The wind howled, the young man fell, leaving only a dry murmur in the empty corridor.

"I knew it."

·
Gongsun Ce felt that his thoughts were firmly bound by some kind of force, and the thoughts that usually escaped in his mind were squeezed into a very small range at this time, as thin as a steel needle.

He is descending in a lightless darkness, heading for unknown but familiar regions.Needle-like thoughts twitched in his brain, and the tingling sensation awakened the memory not long ago.He had experienced this feeling before, in mid-February, when he pierced Yan Qi's ink sword into his heart...

He was going to the depths of his heart, falling towards the place where the final sword was sealed.

Different from last time, this time Gongsun Ce felt down-to-earth only after a very short time.His eyes blurred, and he found himself standing in front of a familiar door.There is a house number of 707 on the iron gate, which is his residence in the capital of the sky.

There is only one door standing alone in the darkness, like a misplaced scene map in a game.He glanced around, and found that there were some fantastic light spots not far from him, which were colorful and colorful.The light jumped up as soon as he paid attention to it, and all kinds of strange objects were reflected in it, which made him firmly attracted when he saw it, and subconsciously wanted to walk over...

Gongsun Ce quickly withdrew his gaze and looked back at the door.He still remembered the dos and don'ts for dreaming that Yan Qi taught him.

To search for the true spirit, you need to fall into a dream, and your heart without light will turn into an abyss.All mysteries are illusions, and the ordinary is true... This is the formula taught to him by the painter in black, and what he remembers more clearly is the popular explanation: the soul that is not lit up is as dark as the abyss, and what is messed up inside Both.Stay away from anything that seems unusual and look for symbols you are most familiar with.

A key appeared in Gongsun Ce's hands out of thin air. While opening the door, he thought, what if he really touched those light spots?Could it be that he became insane, or really mentally ill... The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, he couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly stepped into the door of his dream.

The feeling of being dazzled struck again, and this time Gongsun's strategy slightly adapted.He found that the living room of his house was not turned on, but it was extremely lively. Four people were smearing around the square table, not knowing what they were doing.Seeing Gongsun Ce coming, they all said together: "You are finally here, Gongsun Ce. Everyone is waiting for you!"

The superpower's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, let me turn on the light later."

As soon as the voice fell, the lights turned on automatically.The room was bright, allowing him to see the faces of the four guests clearly.

Facing him was a blurry mosaic. The figure of the thing could not be shaken, like an old TV screen that had lost its signal, or a video file that had run incorrectly in the computer and was moved to the real world.The mosaic monster made a girlish voice: "Ah, so bright!"

This contrast made Gongsun Ce shiver.He hurriedly looked at the other three people, and found that there was nothing that looked like a person sitting in the house!
"Wow!" Sitting on the left hand side of the planar monster was a beast-shaped flame, which burned his beloved furniture, roaring repeatedly, but couldn't utter a single human word.

On the right hand side is a big white robe, which is covered with dirty blood, and there is an emptiness under the robe, where the body should be, and a beautiful half-gold and half-gray mask is buttoned on the place where the face should be.

The white-robed monster looked at him through the mask, and asked with a smile: "Having a nightmare again, Gongsun?"

It's hard to say this isn't a nightmare.The children are afraid that they will wake up crying when they see their house like this.

Gongsun Ce smiled dryly and said, "Hahahaha how could it be, Mr. Gongsun, my sleep quality has been quite high recently... Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shi Yu."

The white-robed monster accepted the title as if nothing had happened, and then talked about board games with him.The guests appear to be playing a card game at his house, and it happens that one of four is missing. "Gongsun Ce, I'm missing you~" "Don't you want to play, Gongsun?" hair.

Gongsun Ce looked at the appearance of the last monster. This guy looked very special: it wasn't even a living thing.

It was a piece of wood as tall as a person, and countless cold weapons were densely inserted on it, aiming the sharp point at everything other than himself, but also piercing the end of the weapon into his body.

Taped to the top of the wood was a rough crayon drawing of a childish smiling face.

Gongsun Ce felt more and more cold.He forced himself to smile and said, "Everyone is dressed in a very special way today, huh?"

"You don't look the same as usual!" the mosaic monster said cheerfully, "I have a mirror here, do you want to see it?"

He rebuffed forcefully, almost in a harsh tone.The monsters were not angry, they just sent him invitations to "come and play" again and again.

Gongsun Ce almost agreed.He really thought it was a good suggestion, and even took two steps unconsciously, but he still remembered his purpose.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get something from the house."

After a casual sentence, he walked towards the door of the bedroom——

"A Ce, do you want to go inside?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind.Not surprisingly, those were Qin Qianbai's words.

"If you go further in, you will see unpleasant things." The young lady's voice said, "You may be sad."

Gongsun Ce was silent for a few seconds.

"Thank you, miss. I'll just go inside and have a look, and I'll be right back."

He resisted the desire to look back, pushed open the bedroom door, and stepped in without looking back.In an instant, the sense of confusion when the scene shifted reappeared.

This time Gongsun Ce found himself standing in a deep tunnel, with countless oil torches illuminating the space on both sides.He tried reaching for the torch, but found he could take it off easily.

Scenes of past memories appeared in the torch that he took down, and it was the scene of him talking endlessly in front of others.Gongsun Ce is a talker, there is no doubt about it.The torch is very bright, taking this thing back, it should be able to illuminate a large area of ​​darkness.

He followed the firelight to observe the surroundings, and found that there was a small sign under each torch: "Superhuman", "Helpful", "Kind", "A Zhai", "Strong"...

"It's fake, it's all fake. It's all an illusion..."

Gongsun Ce thought about it, and hung up the torch.He walked deep into the tunnel, and every step he took, a beam of fire went out.When he came to the end, all the flames were gone.With his naked eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, he could vaguely discern another door at the end of the tunnel, a door carved on the stone wall.

In front of the door was a small horse seat, and a person he was very familiar with was sitting there.He couldn't be seen in the dark, but Gongsun Ce immediately understood who it was.

"Brother, are you guarding the door?"

The elder brother Youyou in the dark replied: "That's right, isn't this to help you watch the gate. There is such a precious treasure in the gate. If someone else came, he would not be allowed to enter."

"Wow, thank you very much. Brother, can you answer me some questions by the way, why I didn't see Orianna and the others in my heart, but Qi Luo, who I have only known for a few days, is here?"

"Because you haven't seen them for a long time. Dreams are related to memory. No matter how deep the friendship of friends three years ago is, they can't remember them better than friends who meet every day. It's like you came here on a biochemical kangaroo , why do you sit on this thing?"

The last time Gongsun Ce saw the biochemical kangaroo was in January this year.A small accident occurred in a certain laboratory that was trying to mass-produce animals, causing [-] biochemical kangaroos to jump onto the streets of the sky capital, and started a passionate boxing with the superpowers who celebrated the New Year one after another. The competition makes the city in the sky full of a different flavor of the year.He has to say that the strength of the animals' feet impressed him second only to their unpalatable meat.

"I understand." He walked towards the gate on the stone wall, "Let's go, thank you brother..."

The young man in the darkness reached out to stop him.

"A Ce, this is the door for the real you to enter. People who don't even want to see their own appearance are not allowed to enter."

Gongsun Ce frowned: "Brother, please accommodate me..."

"There's nothing to tell about it. Go back, look in the mirror, and choose for yourself."

Gongsun Ce took off his glasses and wiped them carefully for half a minute before putting them back on.

"it is good."

In an instant, the once-extinguished torch was lit at the same time, illuminating Mo Yuankai's face and the stone gate at the end of the tunnel.The stone gate was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light of the fire, allowing him to see his current appearance clearly.

In the mirror, he laughed wildly, his eyes full of self-esteem.Gongsun Ce in the mirror was wearing a flamboyant black dress embroidered with gold patterns, and a black-faced cloak with a red background behind him. His hair was deliberately long and tied into a single ponytail behind his head. His face was much younger than it is now.

This image is undoubtedly completely different from the current him, and the biggest difference is the hair color: the current Gongsun Ce has a signature gray hair, but the hair of the man in the mirror is as black as the night sky.

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and touched the ponytail and cape behind him.He commented blankly: "It looks like a funny clown."

Everything in the tunnel was illuminated, only Mo Yuankai was still sitting in a dark corner, not showing his true face.He smiled and said, "Don't be like this, Ah Ce. I think he's still quite handsome."

"I know this is my own idea, but thank you anyway."

Gongsun Ce reached out to the mirror door.The moment he touched the mirror, a dazzling light hit his eyes——

·
When the light dissipated, he found himself back in the original old building.This time he reached the 7th floor and was also in front of the door of the 7th room, but what he could see was no longer his room door in the firmament capital.

In front of him was a bronze-colored anti-theft door with an anti-theft net installed between the iron bars, which seemed to have been used for some years.Through the anti-theft net, one can see another off-white door with an upside-down "Fu" on it, as well as a few animation stickers glued on by children.

There is a faint smell of oily smoke in the corridor, the ear-piercing chirping of cicadas from outside the building, and the faint sound of a piano. It should be that the upstairs neighbor’s child is practicing the piano again... These unforgettable and familiar impressions wake up little by little The memories hidden deep in his heart.Gongsun Ce suddenly realized that he finally knew why there was this building deep in the desert.

This is the place he has lived in for the longest time from birth to growing up, and it is an old residential building that he has not seen for nine years.

This is the home where Gongsun Ce lived for ten years.

"...very reasonable."

The superhuman took out the old key a little sadly, and returned to his real home.He tentatively shouted: "Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

No one answered.

Gongsun Ce took out his pocket watch, the current time is five o'clock in the afternoon.He remembered that his parents had gone out to work at this point, and it would take some time before they returned.

The appearance of the house is exactly the same as before he left: the new sofa just replaced, the old TV that has been used for several years, the peony paintings hanging on the wall, the small square table piled with remote controls and books... He looked at them one by one, and almost wanted to Sit here and wait for your parents to come back.But the person with superpowers did not lose his memory, and he did not forget his purpose of entering the dream.Gongsun Ce reluctantly looked away and grabbed the doorknob of his room.

Intuition told him that this was the deepest place he could reach in this dream.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the final door.

There is a small bed by the wall, above the bed is a bookshelf full of fairy tale books, and next to the bed is his desk, on which are placed all kinds of toys he loved when he was a child... His room is really the same as it was before he left, only more got the same thing.

One more person.

A mature woman was sitting at the desk with her back to him.

She was wearing a deerstalker hat, a dark blue top, black trousers, and a long brown trench coat. Her long silver hair hung behind her head. She was as pure and beautiful as fresh snow in winter, firmly attracting his attention. look.

After hearing the sound of entering the door, the woman turned her head and looked into Gongsun Ce's eyes.Their gazes split as soon as they met, because Gongsun Ce subconsciously lowered his head.

She looked unchanged from the past, and her gray pupils were exactly the same as he remembered, which almost made Gongsun Ce suffocate.

The silver-haired woman got up from her seat and said calmly.

"Long time no see, Ce."

Gongsun Ce stuttered and was at a loss.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Miss Alandia, I, I'm surprised, really, I really didn't expect to see you here."

His speaking speed is getting faster and faster, injecting more emotional color into the words.It was a different emotion than surprise and joy.

"I, sorry, I'm a little nervous, I'm overwhelmed. I really, I don't know what to say. I mean..."

Gongsun Ce clenched his fists little by little, stared at the woman in front of him, and shouted with unprecedented fury.

"—Get out of my heart, Dawn Knight!!"
