Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 347

"Ah Ce, don't pay too much attention to small setbacks. You are such a smart person, what are you afraid of making mistakes? Let's discuss together when we have time later..."

"It's okay, brother, I'm fine." The voice behind the door sounded lively.Mo Yuankai glanced at the door not far away, and deliberately said: "Actually, the Dawn Knight did something wrong this time, she..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the younger brother interrupted: "It's none of her business, I'm just taking care of my own defense."

The worst fear is this situation.He understands the truth, but he is just unhappy, and wants to say something angry to help him ease his emotions, but he takes the initiative to block your mouth, what can you do?
"I'm a little sleepy, let's rest first, good night."

"...Okay, you should rest early."

Mo Yuankai had nothing to say, and went downstairs embarrassingly.

The candlelight on the first floor flickered, reflecting the face of the female knight in the hall.Orianna sat on the small sofa with a worried look on her face.She also just talked to the Dawn Knight, but like Mo Yuankai, she didn't get much results.

"I don't think Mr. Gongsun did anything wrong." Orianna was depressed.

Mo Yuankai poured himself a cup of hot chocolate: "But the Knight of Dawn is right, right?"

He also poured a cup for the female knight, and Orianna took the hot drink and said, "I don't understand why they are suddenly at loggerheads..."

"It's not them, it's Ah Ce who is in a hurry." Mo Yuankai sighed, "On the one hand, it's a conflict of thinking, Ah Ce is eager to prove her innocence, but the Dawn Knight's focus is to find out the truth; on the other hand... Orianna, do you think people need to help each other?"

Orianna nodded vigorously: "Of course! Without your help, I'm afraid I'm still trapped in the problem of the holy sword. We can't survive in this world independently, what a lonely life it would be."

"We need other people's help because there are some things we can't do alone. Like me, my combat power is not bad, but my mind is not good. I need to ask Atce to help me analyze the situation, otherwise I will not be able to deal with those intrigues." It's worth seeing." Mo Yuankai sighed, "But does the Dawn Knight really need the help of others? In terms of brains, few people are smarter than her; in terms of combat power, she is an envoy of creation. Who can help her in battle?"

This is the distance, a distance farther than any status or strength.If you stay by her side for a long time, you will feel that the meaning of your existence has disappeared.

The more you understand, the more you want to get closer, the more you will find your own powerlessness.How should this helplessness be vented?Orianna couldn't find the answer, and she thought maybe no one knew.

She went to the window and pushed it open to get some air.The night wind blew with moisture, making her shiver.

It is going to rain.

·
Gongsun Ce lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling silently, feeling like a dead cicada.

Cicadas are very noisy when they are alive, always lying on the tree and flapping their wings endlessly.People who like it say it's the sound of summer, but those who hate it only feel the sound of insects making their hearts anxious.It can be seen that it never cares about people's thoughts, it just sings by itself, it has to grasp every minute and every second of itself, because its life span is too short, so short that it can only sing this summer.

When the summer is over and the autumn wind blows, the sound of cicadas will be extinguished.When no one cares about the silent insects anymore, their lives will leave with the singing, and their bodies will quietly fall into the dust, swept away by the autumn wind, without knowing where to go.

Gongsun Ce thought that he was a cicada, so he could only talk nonsense endlessly to make people laugh.Because he has no more value, no one really needs him.The hero of the sky does not need his combat power, and the knight of the dawn does not need his reasoning.They are just kind-hearted, leaving a clown by their side to chatter, and ease the loneliness by the way.

But they don't know that clowns are actually more afraid of loneliness.Because those capable people can have a place everywhere, but if the clown has no audience, he will have to end up alone, like a dead cicada falling under a tree, no one cares.

"..."

The night wind blows from the half-opened window, carrying a damp smell, together with the low air pressure, pressing an uncomfortable premonition into my heart.This made his mood worse.

"It's going to rain." Gongsun Ce said softly.

He hates rainy days.Rainy days will always remind him of the past, and the alley that he can't get out of.Think of the touch of raindrops on your body, think of clothes wet by cold rain.He curled up on the bed, tightened the quilt, trying to bring some warmth to himself, but it didn't work.

What Situ Yi said was absolutely right, he was really a third-rate clown, no one was happy after a play, he was the only one who was sad.Was it all his fault in the end?He shouldn't be so overreaching, should he?

Let the small characters stay in the movie honestly.Don't be grandstanding and make people laugh.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.He ignored it.Lie on the bed with eyes closed.

dong dong.

The knock on the door sounded again, firm and stubborn.He sighed silently, got up and opened the door.

Elandia stood in front of the door, rarely wearing a formal dress, but wearing heavy pajamas like a burqa.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, Mr. Gongsun."

Gongsun Ce didn't speak, just stood quietly.

"I don't agree with your reasoning, but I appreciate your kindness. Thank you for wanting to clear my name." Elandia said seriously, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

What are you doing, are you thinking about this so late?

Although you didn't do anything for me, I am very grateful for your kindness, and I want to do something to repay you... But now you think you can't think of an answer, so you just ask me directly?I was so anxious that I even forgot to change into regular clothes...

Are you provoking me?You think I'm not low enough, do you?How stiff is your life?

Gongsun Ce felt angry and funny, he wanted to get angry with this woman, but he didn't have the energy to be serious with her.Once again he found that these outlets of emotion were useless to her.The boy waved his hands weakly and said, "Actually, you don't need to say so much in many cases, a hug to your friend is enough."

Dawn Knight froze for a moment.She seemed to realize that this young man regarded herself as a friend until now.

She opened her arms, as if for a hug.

Gongsun Ce wiped his face helplessly, at this moment he suddenly realized that it was pointless to be angry with this person.What's there to be angry about?You know that she has never been malicious to you, and her words are all to make you better.It's not that she doesn't care about you... she's just too clumsy.

He reached out and patted the Dawn Knight on the shoulder.

"I'm kidding. I don't need anything, and I'm glad you could tell me that."

"but……"

"This is too rude, I can't take advantage of you." Gongsun Ce smiled, "Remember to say thank you first next time."

"Why?" Elandia said, puzzled.

He didn't know how to explain it, so he just asked, "Then why did you choose to talk about reasoning first?"

Elandia said earnestly: "It's about an attitude of seeking truth. For me, that's the most important thing."

Gongsun Ce scratched his head, feeling speechless.He tries to frame the words: "There's no question it's important, but...in other people's eyes, it's not 'most important', is it? You know, not everyone is like you."

Elandia pressed the knuckles of her index finger to her forehead, and seemed to be in deep thought.It took a while before she let go of her hands and looked directly into the young man's eyes.

"You're right, Mr. Gongsun. I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, it's just a small thing."

He scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "There will be an imperial duel in a few days, go to bed early. Good night, Miss Elandia."

Elandia nodded: "Good night, Mr. Gongsun."

He closed the door and lay back on the bed.The depressed mood relaxed a little, making him feel less uncomfortable, and felt that this effort was not wasted.After all, he is helping a clumsy person, not a cold machine.

Hugging or not doesn't really matter.A lot of times you feel lonely just because you feel like no one cares about you.

Gongsun Ce pulled up the quilt and fell asleep in a somewhat calm mood.

Outside the window, the drizzle was like a curtain, and the wind was biting.

·
The next day, it was raining continuously in the royal capital, and the wet and cold water droplets fell endlessly, and the gloomy sky made people feel depressing.The streets of Superbia are occupied by open umbrellas, looking from a height like a colorful parade in a dark city.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, Gongsun Ce put away his umbrella and stepped into the tea room of the headquarters together with Dawn Knight.Several knights were resting indoors. The bad weather could hardly bring them a good mood. They said hello and blended into the breathless gloom.

Gongsun Ce flipped through the newspaper for a while, and Raquel on the side had nothing to say: "Is there any good news?"

"Avant-garde artists in Baishi District are doing vulgar graffiti on the streets, and a marquis's house in Blue Church District has a theft scandal... We did not report this case last week. The truth is that his lover stole a family heirloom." Gongsun Cesao Go to the next line, "It is rumored that the crown prince will have another meeting...It's been three weeks and it's time to let the news go... Finally, there is another murder case in the Eastern District.

Yulia, who was listening, sighed dully, but Gavri pretended not to hear it. "Holy King." Sara complained lying on the ground, "Is there any 'good' news?"

The door of the tea room was pushed open with a bang, and the knight Orianna came running out of breath, and said excitedly: "It's fixed! It's fixed!!!"

Everyone looked at her blankly, and then the expressions on their faces changed to surprise.They ran out of the tea room scrambling, and Sarah, the four-legged golden retriever, became the slowest one at this time.Led by Orianna, they went to the duel field at the headquarters and saw Mo Yuankai standing beside the old leader.

Knight McCollough was clad in ash-like armor, still old but intact.Many parts of it have been slightly adjusted during repairs, and the most obvious change is in the center of the breastplate: there is a golden ring around the original cross star, like a black sun in a solar eclipse.

Everyone stared at the old leader nervously.The old man closed his eyes tightly, raised his right hand, and a pale golden halo instantly swept across the venue, making people feel warm from their hearts.

"I have to say……"

McCullough opened his eyes and said, "It's perfect. It feels even better to me than it should have been."

"Okay!!" "Great!!" "Holy King, thank you!!"

The knights cheered in unison, and the old leader took the lead in embracing the young craftsman.Surrounded by the crowd, Mo Yuankai waved his hands awkwardly.The haze of the rainy day was immediately dispersed, and Gongsun Ce stood aside, feeling joyful and proud of his friend's achievements.

Finally there is good news.That's great, he thought.

·
And the rain was still falling, falling towards Superbia, towards the east side far from the headquarters.

"I'm singing in the rain~
Just singing in the rain~"

Crookie hummed an old song from the other side of the coast, holding a green umbrella, walking in the rain in the East End.

On the side of the street, two dirty children in ragged clothes were fighting in a puddle, splashing dirty muddy water on each other.Seeing her passing by, the naughty children deliberately poured water on her.

"What a glorious feeling~
I'm happy again~"

Crookie hummed a song to dodge, stepped on the mud puddle with his right boot, and the mud splashed on the urchins, drawing angry shouts.The urchins were blinded by the muddy water, and when they rubbed their eyes and got up, the back of the green-haired woman had already disappeared.

She entered the green land far away, and entered the theater troupe where no one was there.On a rainy day, no one watched the show, and the troupe closed down.Jane sat alone in front of the tent, pulling the petals of the violets one by one with her fingers.She didn't open an umbrella, and the rain soaked her dress, and the raindrops mixed with makeup left on her face, like black tears and dried blood.

"You're not going in?"

"I like rainy days." Jane Diella took care of the petals slowly, "The wet and cold feeling is very comfortable, and it can stimulate cruel fantasies."

"Oh, little knight...you are becoming more and more like a qualified villain, the leader must be very happy."

Keriki put away the umbrella and walked into the warm tent.A lot of old members of the religious order came today, including the leader, the master of the law, the projection of the zero island lunatic, the projection of the careerist of Hezhong, and Jane.She walked to Jane's side and said with a smile: "It's agreed that I will do it for you. How can you come and grab my job yourself?"

"It's an important meeting after all, and it's etiquette to appear in person." Jane patted her hand, "How is the analysis progress of Shadow Mist City, Shi Yugenmi?"

The projection of the Zero Island man was sitting at the other end of the tent, with his legs crossed and a playful smile on his face.

"My feelings are very complicated. The people of the kingdom thousands of years ago must have worked hard to design this enchantment. It is a masterpiece, and I have nothing to say."

"Do you really want me to say that? Are you really incompetent?" Jane laughed.

The man in white lowered his head, raised his hand to press his hat, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Didn't I tell you? I have nothing to say. This is truly a masterpiece... measured by the standards of a thousand years ago!
Are all the people in the kingdom mentally handicapped!To continue such a poor and backward design to the present, and still have the face to call it a barrier to protect the country? !I can still see this ridiculous design in the 21st century, which really leaves me speechless! "

Genami Shigure's projection raised his head, and laughed wildly: "A mere Shadow and Mist City! A mere 1000 years! This level of rubbish deserves to trouble me with Genmi Shigure? Of course it's done!"

Situ Yi applauded and said with a smile: "Geng Mi's talent is unparalleled in the world~"

"Shut up, actor!" Shi Yugenmi sneered, "The problem lies in your plan. You want to hide behind the scenes and gain benefits, so you hate putting yourself in danger so much? Or are you being invaded by the greed of this country?" dyed?
Reality is not a drama, if you want to win the supreme power, you have to show me the consciousness to bet your life!It's not too late to switch to my plan, Lord Yinlu! "

"It's okay, this time the plan is all based on Wuxiang's drama, so just trust his script. If something goes wrong, I will correct it."

The Hermit Lord replied flatly, and then looked at the silent participants: "Gaius, what are your preparations?"

"The first batch of dragon clones produced has been shipped to various parts of the kingdom, and will be mixed in with the flow of people heading to the capital to celebrate."

"Oh, the poor work of mediocrity."

The projection of Gaius Otimemis ignored the sarcasm of someone on the side: "In addition, I also have similar concerns with Shi Yugenmi. Since we have chosen a relatively safe plan, we might as well minimize the risk. Use shadow Fog is suppressing key targets..."

"Don't be fooled by Shigure Genmi's tone, great politician. Do you really think the enchantment is as incompetent as he said?" Jane said disdainfully, "The identification and use of the confusing enchantment is fairly simple, and it will be removed from the permission list The engraved name can only be completed by stepping into the bell tower by physical means. Elandia Helaisen has already prepared herself after the attack on the armor, and I do not recommend that the Hermit Lord take any risks at this time. Anyway, after this time, the enchantment is in our hands, why rush for a while."

Gaius nodded: "The one who knows the capital best is you, I have no objection."

"That's it." The Hermit Lord took out a piece of jade and handed it to Jane who was beside him, "Take the concentric jade."

Jane took the jade carefully: "You trust me too much. What should I do if I lose your treasure?"

"Employees are not suspicious, suspects are not." Master Yinlu sat down on the chair.

There is no need for any issues anymore, the plan has long been well-understood, and what is going on now is not so much a meeting as it is a confirmation before everyone takes action.The preparation of the big plan is about to begin, and whether it goes well this time will affect...

What will be affected?Maybe it's not a big deal, it will only affect whether people in the future will die more or less.She looked at this group of people with different plans, and found it very interesting.They all want to get benefits, only they want to see how beautiful this ancient city can burn.

Perhaps the most similar to her is Wuxiang, and the head of the group wants to see his drama successfully completed.

They all looked at the center of the tent, at the man who was writing furiously.Situ Yi put down the quill and announced in a high voice: "Everything is ready, the new play is finished!"

He walked across the tent with ethereal steps, brushing the faces of Jane and Creekie with his big sleeve, changing their appearance.They have all become "characters" who will appear on the stage, just like Situ Yi himself.

"Put on the costumes and put on heavy makeup. Be sure to memorize the lines, and don't neglect the audience..."

A man in a white coat and a tall hat walked into the rain, brushing Jane Diella's face with his big sleeves.Another important actor finished dressing up. The head of the Dust Cult looked at the city in the rain and sang loudly in front of each actor:

"The auspicious day is approaching, and it's time for the show!"

　(Finally, I finished my work and was able to fly home. The journey was exhausting, and I was really unable to type. The publication will be closed for two days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the serialization will resume on Wednesday night.

　　Wen Tun's presentation of the plot is about the same, it's time to make the rhythm brighter. )
