Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 23 The real goal
The series of battles in the sewage treatment plant took about an hour.It is now 1:8 in the evening, which is already a time when students in junior high school and below are not suitable for going out alone.

Gongsun Ce rarely felt tired, which was mainly due to the exhaustion from the battle with the masked girl just now.Leaping over half of the sewage treatment plant with Biochemical Meat Wall on its shoulders may seem troublesome, but it's actually just a matter of putting in a little more effort, but fighting a well-matched battle with a martial arts master will take both effort and energy.

An expert in combat is much better than a dragon madman.

Now, Gongsun Ce's mind is as dry as after a day of fighting in front of a mountain of test papers.His experience told himself that if he didn't replenish some energy and take a rest, it would be the turn of his heart to suffer.

Although thanks to someone's ink painting, his heart is already very uncomfortable.

Gongsun Ce pressed between his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to the side: "Do you have energy bars or compressed biscuits?"

An energy bar in white packaging landed in his palm.

"White chocolate flavored, specially made for those with abilities."

The package of the energy bar says "enough to last you a day!" in exaggerated artistic words, even if you are not a superpower, you can think that this is false propaganda.

The masked woman who gave the energy bar tore open the package of the other one, stuck it under the mask and ate it.

Gongsun Ce bit off most of the energy bar: "Thank you. Do you really want to stick to this way of eating? The mask is full of scum."

"Crack, click. Unlike someone who participated in the incident without even changing his clothes, I think the confidentiality of identity is very important."

Gongsun Ce didn't think it was meaningful.Covering one's face, changing one's clothes, and changing one's tone of voice, these skills were considered practical more than ten years ago, but they are not so trustworthy today.

Now is no longer the era when even surveillance cameras were not popularized. Regardless of some supernatural means that may exist, people in this city have countless ways to lock a person's true identity only by relying on the power of technology, so Gongsun Ce rarely hides himself. appearance.

"I've lived here longer than you. There are fights every three days. My personal information has long been known by all parties. There is no need to conceal my identity."

The masked woman raised her head, her smooth black hair falling like a waterfall.

"The current capital of the sky is not a magic cave where there are often battles."

"It's not like you haven't seen what it was like before the establishment of order."

With these words as the ending, Gongsun Ce ended the conversation between the two.

Takizawa Yoshihisa, who was tightly bound by white ropes, was lying on the green grass. The calm expression on his face was in stark contrast to the gloomy Alice.Just by looking at this, Gongsun Ce knew that the progress of the torture was not going well.

"I will tell." Takizawa Yoshihisa was very calm, "After being tortured by experts who don't know where, after being entrusted by psychics, prying open my heart, or using drugs to make me speak, I will tell myself All the information you know is spoken.”

Alice's face sank like water: "You are very conscious of your situation, and you don't look like a vicious envoy at all."

"I did not fall into madness. Tyros, unfortunately, went mad at the very beginning; Capulo, dull and stubborn, I watched him fall into madness step by step, irreparable. And I know very well, I know What I'm doing, I act with my own will." Takizawa even began to smile, "I want to summon the gods, the omnipotent gods, and bring eternity back to the incomplete world. For this I can give everything, give everything. "

Alice raised her short arrow and put the arrow point against the man's throat: "Does the man who calls the dragon disaster a god also want to say that he is sane? In my eyes, you are all lunatics trying to destroy this city. "

Takizawa Yoshihisa was neither angry nor panicked.He just lamented silently, like an unsatisfactory person who knew the ending long ago, watching his defeat in the center of the stage.

"You guys don't know anything, and you don't want to know. Even if I tell the truth, you won't understand, you'll just go crazy. You're a Brahmacharm, and your powers won't work when you're tortured. I, what I won’t even tell you, if you want to kill me, just stab me.”

"..."

Alice Adar didn't say a word, and Gongsun Ce in the distance couldn't see her expression. He only felt that the hunter seemed to be observing the expression of the dragon worshiper, trying to find any suspicious traces.

Alice took two steps back, seemingly about to give up interrogating Takizawa, but suddenly threw the weapon in her hand!The demon-breaking arrow shot out of his hand and flew towards Takizawa's heart——

Just before touching the man's body, it stopped in the air.

"Let's not kill, Miss Alice."

Gongsun Ce's voice came from behind her.

"... Capulo's ignorance can be let go, but this person can't." Alice's words were extremely indifferent, "He has gone too far in the madness, hallucinations and the power given by the evil dragon In this way, he will not cause pollution just by his actions like Tyros or Capulo, but once he speaks about the truth in his cognition, even our hearts are likely to be corrupted by him."

Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment, and said, "I think he still has a certain degree of reason and common sense—you see, he was frightened like a child when he saw the biochemical flesh wall just now."

"It doesn't matter if you have common sense or not. That thing scares me enough even when I see it, okay! You can take something more disgusting than a B-grade horror movie villain and put it into actual production, no matter what you think, it's something wrong with you!!"

Alice's coldness lasted less than 5 seconds before dissipating.Gongsun Ce nodded secretly, thinking that she really is more suitable for this quick-fried look.

"At least he didn't take the initiative to talk about the crazy words, did he? Our mission is completed, and his ending will be left to the city's officials to decide. Maybe it won't be long before Mr. Takizawa will be humane Caring was deeply moved and decided to fully cooperate, it is not bad to let him die with such thoughts.”

The huntress sighed bitterly.

"Sigh... It has been nearly four hours since the green cockscomb head was dealt with, and no valuable new information has come. The possibility of getting information in the short term..."

Gongsun Ce knew what the other party wanted to say.

"I'm not an envoy of justice, but I still feel uncomfortable seeing human beings die in front of my eyes. Just treat it as a student's inherent innocence."

"At this time, I said that I am a student again... Tsk tsk."

Alice finally put away her weapon, and Gongsun Ce knew that she had given up her mind.

Takizawa Yoshihisa sat on the ground silently without making any comments.Gongsun Ce walked up to him, leaned over and smiled and said:
"By the way, even if you don't say a word, we are not clueless. Because your actions themselves provide us with important ideas."

"...!"

Takizawa's breathing became a little quicker, and Gongsun Ce knew that his thinking was right.

"We came here following the change of the water flow. This change was deliberately done by you to attract our attention. Where are the materials that may cause you to cause visions? Naturally, you need a lot of sewage. And Before going to the sewage treatment plant, where you can touch the materials..."

Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses and speculated: "Of course it is the sewer! It seems that you have been in the sewer system of this city for a long time. The movement of the sewage is enough for you to figure out the topography of the city, not only the ground. The distribution of facilities, as well as the general situation of the city’s underground.”

Takizawa's pale face confirmed his guess, and Gongsun Ce happily snapped his fingers.

"However, there are many metropolises in the world with a population of more than one million. I don't see any reason why you must come to the capital of the sky. Unless there are certain conditions in your action plan that must be met here, such as... The city itself?" Gongsun Ce shook his finger and said with a smile, "I understand, I understand. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Takizawa. Although you kept silent, your micro-expression still betrayed yourself ah."

Takizawa immediately struggled when he heard the words, and shouted to Gongsun Ce: "The giant dragon phenomenon is—"

The masked woman who was watching made a lightning strike, and before Takizawa could say a word, she knocked him unconscious with a hand knife.That pitiful appearance made Gongsun Ce's head drip with cold sweat.

The masked woman withdrew the knife in her hand: "Look, look, this is the sacred +10 hand knife that saved you from danger."

"You don't even want to make up a serious name anymore!"

"It was an ordinary attack that wasn't even a move. The temporary boss ran away without saying anything, and I took this person away and handed him over to the official for torture. Is it okay to deal with it this way?"

Alice's teeth were sore: "That man ran away for no reason, now you come to ask me...? Is this how your ceremony hall... handles affairs?"

"Who knows, unfortunately I am also a temporary worker."

Thank you for calling yourself an expert.

Gongsun Ce slandered someone's previous behavior, and glanced at Alice's expression.

He was sure that this sentence finally made the diligent hunter explode.

"What is the Eternal Light Empire thinking?!"

"I'm not very clear. Normally, it wouldn't happen like this. I hope you won't be prejudiced against the Empire because of what happened tonight. Then, the superpower over there..."

As if implying something, the girl in the mask looked straight at him: "We just gave you advice."

The tone of the girl's speech was the same as before, and there was no noticeable omen in her actions.Even the hunter, who was always vigilant, didn't remind him at this time, which means that even she didn't notice it.

However, Gongsun Ce had a clear premonition in his heart.Just like a classmate who has been with him for a long time can think of what the other party will say next, just like a friend with a good relationship can predict the actions the other party will make, the feeling in his heart tells him the truth: now, here, wearing a mask girl is ready to fight.It's not the kind of ability battle that keeps each other's hands away from before, but an all-out battle with no gaps in gags.

Gongsun Ce didn't change his face: "I replied to you just now. I will investigate with Miss Alice... I will not quit."

Thus, the sense of urgency of the imminent war disappeared.The masked woman dragged the unconscious Takizawa a few steps, then turned around and said, "Remember you owe me dessert once."

"Good good."

The temp workers of the Empire left.Alice Aida looked at her back, and put a hand on Gongsun Ce's shoulder: "Gongsun Ce, that child is indeed..."

"Who knows. I won't inquire about things that have nothing to do with me."

"So what is the goal of the dragon lunatics?"

"What's underground in the capital of the sky?" Gongsun Ce asked retortly, "Of course it's the corpse of the dragon of the sky."

·
Takizawa Yoshihisa was in a coma, and these words could not reach his ears.

The man who used to be a researcher just wanted to stop them by all means, and never let them interfere with the leader's plan.This thought still lingered in his mind even when he was unconscious, making Takizawa look pained.

How long did it take before the man finally regained consciousness.

Takizawa found himself in the middle of a room without any decorations, his whole body was firmly fixed on the chair, and he couldn't move at all.To his confusion, his mouth was not sealed.This means that the people holding him here are not afraid of what he can say, which Takizawa speculates may be because they intend to use some possible soundproofing equipment to communicate with him in a safe situation.

Before Takizawa could think further, the door facing him opened.A handsome young man in a suit walked into the room.

"Takizawa Yoshihisa, a psychic envoy born in Zero Island, transformed into a dragon worshiper in the dragon disaster of Superbia. The source of pollution is speculated to be the disaster of glass. A freelance scholar who has been assisting official research for many years In the identity activity, I worked at the Shigure Research Institute earlier, and in that institution full of geniuses and weirdos, I was just an ordinary researcher, so I developed a gloomy and negative personality..."

Takizawa's eyes widened, he was speechless in surprise.The young man who walked into the room was holding a file, and was narrating the life of a human named Takizawa Yoshihisa, but none of that had reached his ears.

Because he recognized the face of the young man in a suit, he knew who was talking to him.

"You, you are...!"

The young man in the suit put away the file and smiled at Takizawa.

"I'm Shigure Reiichi. Long time no see, Mr. Takizawa."
