Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 323 Thief!
thump... thump...

Above the bell tower of San Bianca, the heavy bell played a melodious and grand sound.Dawn Knight habitually opened his pocket watch to confirm the time.Nine o'clock at night, exactly.It was a wise decision to let Jane go to meet the knight Orianna first, otherwise they will be really late.

She put away her pocket watch and looked into the boy's eyes.

"Good evening, Mr. Gongsun. I am the Dawn Knight of Morton's Royal Knights, the second seat of the Starlight Conference, Elandia Helaisen."

The black-haired boy in black didn't respond. He stared at him blankly, like a child who had been scared out of his wits.And this young man is indeed only 16 years old, Elandia thought, before he became a dragon, he was indeed a child.

Then, she heard the other party's voice.

"...It's so beautiful."

Even the tears were not wiped away in the future, and he was still sitting on the ground against the wall.He didn't even hear her words clearly, but he only paid attention to the beauty of the visitor.There was no calmness or thought in the words, with the recklessness and impulsiveness of a young man almost like Meng Lang.

She hates such people.

Even if you are ignorant, you should try to control the situation; when you are in danger, try to rescue yourself.Is it possible that by praising the kind rescuer, can I write off my previous folly?
When the boy was in danger, he just waited for death to come.Giving up on self-help is tantamount to running to the end, she hates such people.

However, these words should not be spoken to strangers.She just said flatly: "This is not the place you should come to, I will send you back to Superbia."

·
Consciousness gradually returned.Her voice was heard.

To send back to Superbia?She has the strength to do this?Maybe she was an official and she was indeed saved.However, he caught the look in the opponent's eyes.Although it only flashed for a moment, there was no hidden emotion——

Gongsun Ce propped himself up on the ground and shouted in a panic, "Wait a minute! Hey, you, don't, don't get me wrong!!"

As soon as the silver-haired woman stopped, he said helplessly: "I didn't do it on purpose. It's just... an unnatural reaction in a special situation! It doesn't mean that I intend to strike up a conversation with you! Anyway, what I mean is... ..."

Gongsun Ce shouted in despair: "I just think you are beautiful!"

Ruined.

An already bad first impression just got worse! ! !

With the last bit of hope in his arms, Gongsun Ce looked at this clear woman, trying to find a smile of relief on her face.

The silver-haired woman shook her head expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, sir. The bad first impression will not be changed by your explanation. Now, please return to the city first."

"Farewell to me!!"

The silver-haired woman pointed at the ground, and the floor tiles flew up one after another, causing Gongsun Ce to fall into the bottomless darkness below the road.Struggling desperately, he supported the "exit" of the brick road with his hands, and shouted unyieldingly: "At least give me a contact method! Leave a phone number!! It's really not an email—"

call!In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Ce fell into the ground.The bricks and stones were filled back one by one, making his body disappear.

Elandia bid farewell to the visitor who strayed into Shadow Mist City, and started to get down to business.She clasped her hands, and the light condensed into the shape of a pure white sword in her hands again.She touched the ground with the tip of her sword and read: "Dawn Star."

In an instant, a pure white star rose on the horizon of Shadow Mist City.

This bright star rises into the night sky, illuminating all the fog in the city, and makes countless ghosts fade away in the light; the pure starlight falls on the earth, driving away all the beasts in the darkness, and making the ugly life disappear in the light.Her power makes all evil invisible, and she wiped away the shadows and mist with just one sword, as fast as real light, and easily swept away the sand and dust on the shore like a wave!
The stars twinkled in the sky above the shadow and mist, and even the strange moon seemed small compared to it.This cleansing has completely purified the inner city, and it will take some time for the longing beasts and phantoms to reappear.Elandia scatter the long sword, and her speed of action made her seem to disappear out of thin air.She appeared thousands of meters away, standing on top of a tall tower, stepping on a piece of rag.

The cloth dissipated into smoke and melted into the mist.

"Psychological method..."

Elandia thought for a moment, then tapped the tower with her toes.Bricks and tiles flew up, forming the gate to Superbia.She left Shadow and Mist and returned to Superbia in reality.

The world in the shadow no longer has any sound.The starlight dissipated, and the city was empty and silent.

·
9:00 at night, Superbia, inner city.

A plainly dressed young lady ran quickly and stopped panting in front of Mo Yuankai and Orianna.The girl came in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to light up the oil lamp in her hand, so it was obvious from a glance that she arrived on short notice.

"Huh...huh...it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Mo Yuankai!" The yellow-haired girl gasped and stretched out her hand excitedly, "I'm Jane Diella, the entourage of the honorable Dawn Knight... oh, Dawn Knight It is the knight Elandia that you were about to meet!"

"Hello, Miss Jane." Mo Yuankai shook hands with this "knight attendant", "Take a rest first, there is no rush."

She looks to be about the same age as Orianna, with yellow hair and green eyes, not tall, with a flat figure, with two braids, and she has an ordinary taste from her bones.Her voice is not high but sharp, with a cheerful smile on her face, she looks like a talkative optimist, which makes Mo Yuankai feel good: he is the worst at getting along with those indifferent, gloomy, and mean people , except A Ce.

"Sorry, Jane?" Orianna looked around suspiciously, "Knight Elandia...?"

"Dawn Knight is never late, unless there are special circumstances!" Jane said quickly, "You know, Shadow Mist has been unstable recently... There seems to be a small problem inside, and Knight Elandia went to check it out in person. Time. She thought that she must not be able to meet with you on time, so she asked me to explain the situation first. "

"She is such a polite knight." Orianna admired.

"Of course! It's too cold here, why don't I take you to No. 91 first?" Jane exhaled, and turned into a puff of white mist in the cold weather, "I just ran from there... light on the light first superior."

"You are so considerate." Orianna praised, "Mr. Mo, this is the etiquette of the kingdom. We will fill the house with light before welcoming guests, because it is very important for us to lead guests to dark places." Disrespectful thing."

Mo Yuankai recalled the pedestrians with lights on the side of the road, thinking: "Do people in the kingdom like light and fire?"

"Actually, we all hate the dark. Only phantoms like those dark, cold places." Jane replied enthusiastically.While speaking, she made a small gesture, a white light flashed, and the flame in the lamp ignited by itself.

"Jane...you use the impermanence method to light the lamp again!" Orianna said half-blamingly.Jane stuck out her tongue: "Oh, don't let Knight Elandia know about it! Otherwise, she will teach me again."

"It's good to have a box of matches with you."

"But that doesn't look dignified, Orianna~"

...Can't you bring a lighter?

Mo Yuankai realized that it doesn't make much sense to say this to people who are still using oil lamps.He casually dialed his partner's number.

"Hello, Ce? We are going to Dawson Street. Where are you?"

·
"...I'm nearby." Gongsun Ce clutched the phone, lost his mind, "There's no need to take a detour to find me."

"Wow your voice sounds so deep?"

Gongsun Ce recalled his performance, and said sadly: "...I may have lost my love."

"what?????"

Gongsun Ce sighed sadly and hung up the phone.In front of him was a two-story old building, located on the side of the street near the intersection, and there seemed to be an attic on the top.The house number is written on a beautiful metal plate in front of this small building: 91 Dawson Street.

The silver-haired woman sent him to his destination directly, with subtext as if telling him to get the hell out.

"……Oh shit!"

Loss and decadence brewed in the young man's heart, mixed with fear, and gradually condensed into a stream of wet, unreasonable anger.What's the meaning?What did he do?What is a bad first impression, a look of extreme arrogance, are you amazing?If you have the guts, don't save me!

He himself knew that he was thinking nonsense, all of this was just venting, he was annoyed by his own ugliness and powerlessness, but his emotions would not disappear because of reason, they would only become more dull and anxious...

Gongsun Ce sighed sullenly, thinking that a dank man like himself deserved to be unpopular.He pushed the door with his usual self-blame and self-loathing, and the door of number 91 was locked.

He got tired of it, so he simply stretched his thoughts through the crack of the door, and opened the door for himself from behind.The interior space of 91 Dawson Street was larger than he had imagined, and the furnishings were more classical than he had imagined.Beige carved wallpaper was pasted on the wall, decorated with oil paintings that he couldn't appreciate, there were several canvas sofas by the fireplace, and an unfinished book was placed on the small round table.

"Upper class..."

Gongsun Ce muttered and closed the door.He took two steps and noticed a strange detail: there seemed to be no traditional "lights" in the room, only a few table lamps or wall lamps for auxiliary lighting.But the room is very bright, which obviously doesn't make sense...

Gongsun Ce's gaze stayed on the center of the first floor, where a luxurious candlestick was placed on the table, and the flames flickered on three candles.The light that illuminates the entire floor seems to come from this seemingly faint candle.

"Spiritual armed lighting? It's very environmentally friendly... a big dog..."

Gongsun Ce was amazed. He was about to find a place to sit down when he suddenly looked at the spiral staircase leading to the second floor.The light of the candle was very stable, illuminating all the spaces within the first floor.He thus saw a pair of feet as black as ashes...the feet were silently walking down the bottom step!

Landlord of the house?Doorman security?Various guesses emerged in Gongsun Ce's mind. The man didn't seem to notice him, and he had already stepped on the first floor, with a mechanical stiffness in his movements.His whole body was exposed under the light, and it turned out to be a dark human figure.His body seemed to be composed of countless tiny particles, and every time he took a step, a wisp of black dust would disperse.

The strange man held a box the size of a fist in his hand. When he was about to go downstairs, he stopped suddenly and turned his head.He wore a gray mask on his face. Behind the eyeholes of the mask, tiny wriggling particles "looked" straight at Gongsun Ce's eyes.

"Hello?" Gongsun Ce waved his hand, "May I ask you?"

The shadow man turned around on the spot and ran to the second floor quickly.

This reaction will be a ghost of a security guard!Gongsun Ce immediately reacted, he remembered the instructions on the plane, deliberately didn't use superpowers, and only jumped several steps to chase.In a few seconds, the two ran up to the second floor. There was no light here, and they could only be illuminated by a ray of moonlight cast from the window. "Stop!" Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand to grab the man's shoulder, but he didn't expect that this blow would go through most of the man's body and knock the dust man away.

The strange man's body dissipated like real smoke, and even the mask disappeared together.Before he completely dispersed, he threw the box in his hand, and it fell into Gongsun Ce's hands.

"Fuck?!"

Gongsun Ce almost wondered if he had awakened some brand-new ability such as "big disintegration palm" after the adventure, until he realized that the dust did not leave even a trace, and he realized that it was probably someone's ability.However, the rapidly developing reality did not give him more room to think. Almost at the same time as the weirdo disappeared, a scream came from outside the window.

"--what!"

Gongsun Ce stared out, only to see a figure running away in a hurry with flames on his back.Farther away, two familiar figures followed quickly.He looked at the box in his hand in a blink of an eye, and then at the open door of a room on the second floor, and suddenly realized.

Someone broke into the room first and stole something, and now the stolen goods are still in his hands!This is really yellow mud stuck in the crotch, things are going to be fucking messed up!However, there is not much time left for him, someone will definitely enter the room in less than 10 seconds, and the time left for him is only a few seconds...!
·
"What happened?" Mo Yuankai asked.

"I... I don't know! I hope I'm wrong!" Jane held the lantern and ran like a gust of wind, "This is too... Oh my God...! How could there be a thief?!"

After hearing this, Orianna said anxiously: "Mr. Mo, please don't use your ability, otherwise things will become difficult to explain!"

Mo Yuankai remembered the commentary on the plane, and understood the other party's worries.He followed behind the knight's entourage, his movements were not fast, and there was a faint worry in his heart.91 Dawson Street arrived, Jane quickly opened the door, and the three of them entered in a file.

"Don't move—!" Jane just screamed, but she stopped it because she was too shocked.

It was obvious that someone broke into the house, and a line of dirty footprints extended from the door to the stairs; the house also seemed to have been rummaged by outsiders, and the obviously moved candlestick on the small round table proved this. point.But these things are now irrelevant "auxiliary evidence", because the real ironclad evidence is lying carelessly on the sofa, which is darker than the real iron and stone.

Gongsun Ce in black was sitting on the sofa, leaning his hands back on the backrest, crossing his legs carelessly, his movements were as wild as he wanted.

He tossed a gold-rimmed box with one hand, and spoke proudly amidst the stunned expressions of the three:
"Yes, I stole the thing!"
