Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 14
"This persuasion came quite suddenly." Gongsun Ce shrugged, "It's suitable before the final battle, not when the little boss has just been defeated."

"It's a good thing you still have the mind to make a joke...you should understand what I mean?" Alice tapped her nails on the table with a worried face, "This is not what you imagined, it's not like catching those lunatics and it's over Yes. You may be involved in the battles of experts from various countries, and even meet those terrible perverts..."

The hunter hesitated for a moment, as if he was in conflict with what he was going to say, but he still curled his lips and said in an almost mean manner.

"Take it easy, young man, do you really think you are great with a little special ability? Three years ago, that kind of magic cave escaped. It is not a good idea to go back to your own city to suffer. It is the task of experts to protect the world from intrigue. You It’s best for ordinary people like this to go back and enjoy their daily life with their little girlfriends.”

Alice herself didn't even notice that her tone softened a little unconsciously.

"...It's rare for someone to ride a pigeon with me to see the scenery, and I don't want to see you die tragically in the chaos."

Gongsun Ce thought of her hesitant look on the back of the pigeon, and he understood instantly.

In fact, Alice regretted it at that time and wanted to persuade him to leave, right?It's just that I just agreed that it's not easy to find opportunities to persuade colleagues to quit.She should have thought that she would retreat before Tyros' ability, but she didn't expect that this person's strength was a little stronger than expected, so that he could easily defeat the dissociated demon body, and in the end she could only be defeated by She spoke in person, speaking vaguely.

Gongsun Ce asked suddenly: "Miss Alice, why did you become a hunter?"

"Me?" Alice looked sideways in surprise, "I... because hunters come with quick money and freedom."

"free?"

"We are very comfortable in this line of work, like mercenaries in a gray area. There are no immediate superiors to force tasks, and we don't have to look at the stinky faces of uncles. If you are in a good mood, you can take two more orders and enjoy yourself for a few months. If you are in a bad mood If you don’t take the order home, you will drink cold water and drink the northwest wind.” Alice smiled, “After the kingdom collapses, there is no way to make the manpower shortage. The Wild Hunt is gone, but the internal working method is still the same as before... from the gray area to the official name, how you live is up to you."

Gongsun Ce imagined the daily life of hunters, sleeping as many days a week as he wanted, and when he needed to make money, he went to pick up an order to catch a criminal and then went home with a big bag of gold coins to eat and drink.This kind of temptation to arrange time freely made this job full of attractiveness, which made him very excited.

"Looks like I want to be a hunter."

"Don't, when you drink the northwest wind, you will know that this job is not easy to do, and once you receive a bad order, it will be even more unlucky." Alice rolled her eyes, "Like big sister, I am the top unlucky person this time. , I thought it would be easy to catch a few dragon lunatics, but after fighting each other, I found out that each of them has the strength of supernatural powers. After catching a living victim and interrogating him, he said that he planned to summon a giant dragon, and he knew that this trip would not be let go... "

Gongsun Ce interrupted her abruptly: "Miss Alice, why do you continue to follow this list? Follow them into this muddy water?"

Alice didn't reply right away, as if she didn't expect him to ask this.She stepped on the floor, and she still looked lively when she spoke, but there was a hint of something that Gongsun Ce couldn't understand in her words.

"Of course it's to make a fortune by handing in tasks... Besides, I'm also an expert, so there's no reason to retreat when I'm in trouble."

Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "Similarly, I also have reasons why I can't give up. Summoning a giant dragon is too big a matter. Compared to placing trust in other experts I have never met, I still trust you and myself more."

Before Alice answered, he quickly changed the subject: "Stop talking about dissuading me. The 'perverted' you mentioned just now means...?"

Alice's complexion was as tangled as a fisherman who knew the storm was coming but was already at sea.

"The impermanence you have come into contact with now is an official expert like me...but there are still some free people in the world who don't work for anyone! These free people probably also know The information about the capital of the sky, when I think of them coming, I get a headache like I'm dying..."

Gongsun Ce frowned and asked, "How is the strength of the free people? Compared with Tyros..."

Alice twitched her mouth: "Compared to them, Tyros is at best a paramecium."

The strength gap is as big as the microscope level!

"So exaggerated?"

Miss Hunter pointed her fingers one by one, and she spoke with a sense of self-abandonment: "Do you know who is coming? Tianji, Mingke, Chimage, Hermit Lord, Shiyu... are guaranteed to be the envoys of the Appearance , even several of them are World Creation Envoys! Each of them is a famous disaster, and the information on each of them is written as unknown and extremely dangerous. You can’t imagine how outrageous the list is. I deeply doubt the intelligence agencies. I didn't find any evidence at all, but just sent me the list of dangerous elements they thought of at the first time!"

The word Shigu looks a bit like a person's name in a series of obvious nicknames...

Gongsun Ce tentatively asked, "Which is the worst?"

"Of course it's Tianji, the Tianji of the empire." Alice whispered cursingly, "Tianji has no goals at all. He is amazingly powerful but only wants to fight. Everyone knows that there is a lawless madman in the Everglow Empire. He doesn't seek wealth, fame, secular status , disregarding the safety of others and the peace of the society, just seeking a smooth battle to satisfy oneself. What do you think such a person will do after getting the method of summoning a dragon?"

"Sounds like a warrior who would go one-on-one with an evil dragon."

"That's what I'm afraid of. No matter who wins or loses, we and this city will definitely end." Alice subconsciously tightened her arms, "Another guy I absolutely don't want to meet is Shigure from Zero Island."

The name sounded all too familiar, but Miss Alice had no reason to know his old friend.Then she probably spoke of another... another name he had heard today.

Gongsun Ce called up today's news bulletin on his mobile phone, and within a few seconds he found the latest news focus.The massacre in the eastern part of Zero Island at the end of last year is said to be a mass death tragedy that has not happened for many years.

"This one?" Gongsun Ce pointed to the photo on the phone screen.The name of the suspect is marked below the photo: Rei Shigure.

In the photo is a slender black-haired woman, with a pair of black pupils staring indifferently, she looks like a frail woman.Gongsun Ce could imagine her flipping through books in the library, but it was hard to imagine that such a woman would have anything to do with murder.

Alice said disdainfully: "It is a tragedy, but it is actually a disgraceful accident. The Shigu Research Institute was completely wiped out by their experimental subjects. Although it is not appropriate to say this in my capacity, these people are dead. The public is a good thing."

"You sound like you're talking about a mad science establishment."

"That's the truth. The Shiyu Research Institute is a scientific research institution purely for 'practical' purposes, trying to cultivate impermanence. Judging from their achievements over the years, their research results can only be said to be 'practical'. The head—the erratic lawmakers who come out of that institution are either incomprehensible lunatics, or lunatics who are not strange to kill with a smile."

When it came to the word "practical", Alice deliberately emphasized the pronunciation, which sounded like she was being eccentric.

"Now they are finished first, but we poor people have to help with the aftermath. The divination of the intelligence department shows that Shigure Zero is likely to be on the way to the capital of the sky. No one knows what Shigure will do, I hope not Good to meet."

Shiyu "men"?
"Shigure is the name of a group of people?"

"The impermanence masters trained by that institute are all surnamed Shiyu." Alice waved her hand, "It's always right to stay away from people with the surname Shiyu. This is common sense in our industry."

"Isn't the ordinary person surnamed Shi Yu very pitiful?" Gongsun Ce retorted.

Miss Alice poked his forehead with her hand.

"I have already stepped into the inner world and still think that there will be such a coincidence around me? If you are so unprepared, you will die a miserable death!"

This is really an irrefutable statement.

For this reason, Gongsun Ce still felt embarrassed, after all, he happened to have a good friend named Shi Yu.The information I was told conflicted with the daily life I was familiar with, and this kind of contradiction happened around me made the sense of dislocation extremely serious.

For a moment, he didn't know what to believe.

"Tianji and Shiyu..."

As if to deepen the impression, Gongsun Ce repeated the names of the two in a low voice.The notification tone of the social software sounded at this moment, marking the end of this conversation.

"Miss Alice, we're ready to go. The intelligence dealer said it's almost done, and we can just walk over to get the information now."

"Go over? Do you still have to hand over the information in person?"

"There are always some eccentricities in their business." Gongsun Ce smiled, "Thank you for the warning, I will definitely be careful in my future actions."

"Hey..." Alice heard his determination, and waved her hands, "Then I will use you to my heart's content, so don't regret it."

"how come."

Alice tore off the tissue with the symbols on it, and the inexplicable sense of tranquility disappeared.She counted out the exact amount of cash from her bag and beckoned the boss to pay the bill.

Gongsun Ce walked out of the store first.In the evening, the commercial street is crowded with people. Teenagers who have just finished school are running around on the street. The aroma of food and the smell of oily smoke carry the smell of fireworks in life. In the fast-paced urban scene, there is no abnormal smell. .

He couldn't help thinking that if people knew the information about the impending occurrence of the giant dragon phenomenon, and knew the future of the city's destruction, even if that was just a possibility...

Will the peaceful order be broken because of this?Will chaos once again descend upon the city?After hearing this news, some people will definitely want to evacuate, but where can the superpowers go...

Gongsun Ce has no way of knowing, and is unwilling to continue imagining.

at this time--

(Gongsun, on the right.)
Without warning, a clear voice sounded in his heart, and the soft tone was all too familiar to him.

Gongsun Ce followed his advice and looked to the right.At the alley on the side of the street, among the passers-by, a young man in a suit was standing upright.The man raised his right hand, put his index finger in front of his lips, and made a silent gesture.

(shh.)
Afterwards, Shi Yulian took a step back.The black suit blended into the various clothes of pedestrians and disappeared into the crowded crowd.

"..."

Gongsun Ce was silent for a long time, when Alice just walked out of the store: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I happened to see a classmate."

This is not a lie.

It seems that because he did not lie, Alice's intuition was not touched this time.

·
Gongsun Ce and Alice quickly left the shopping street, turning into two inconspicuous dots in the crowd.And when Shi Yulian retreated silently, there was another person hiding in the dark.

Gongsun Ce always maintained a telekinetic network for detection by his side, but failed to notice the existence of this bystander.Because she is so familiar with the habits of superpowers that she can easily avoid his distance.She stood hundreds of meters away, on the roof of a building, using her extraordinary eyesight to track the gray dots among the crowd and observe their actions.

She picked up the phone and dialed a specialist's number.

"Hey, it's me, it's me. Ah Ce got mixed up with a strange woman, I'm worried."

The man on the other end of the phone said something to her, the girl listened for a while, nodded and said.

"...Understood. Then confirm it with your own eyes."

She jumped down from the roof of the building, landed on the ground as easily as a feather, and hid in the crowd like her friends, going in a different direction from them.
