Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 357 The Other End of the Parallel Line
Shadow Mist City, in front of the St. Giles Clock Tower.

when.

when.

The bell rang, loud and melodious.The sound waves rippled round and round, but failed to dispel the fog.The fog in front of the bell tower was so dark that it was full of malice.

There is a clear picture in the fog. Two men are smoking in the smoking room, and the middle-aged man and the young man are chatting leisurely.

"It would be better for everyone if she wasn't here, right?" said the middle-aged man. "There are already three Creation Envoys in the Kingdom. Suddenly there is another young Creator, and everyone is very troubled."

"You are so unpatriotic." The young man laughed.

"Don't report to the Dawn Knight." The middle-aged man also laughed, flicking the cigarette ash casually, "This is the truth. Your Majesty, the old regiment leader, and Your Excellency the mage, the balance was maintained very well...but her appearance It completely broke the balance, like a marble jumping on a chess table. I have been suppressed by two sides, and the recent treatment is even more..."

The young man clicked his tongue: "It's thanks to her to figure out the investigation of all the officials in the city! Do you think politics is as simple as a murder case?"

"He's a magician who creates a world, so it's okay to toss about." The middle-aged man put out his cigarette butt, "After all, he is from the Holy Sword Knights, and he is a commoner in the Eastern District... He doesn't even understand common sense, so it makes people speechless. "

"Not even a little bit of empathy..."

The two people in the smoking room were still talking, but the Dawn Knight didn't care.She walked slowly in the fog, analyzing the structure of this trap, thinking about the means to break it.

Situ Yi's methods were despicable, but effective.He activated the collective subconscious accumulated in the Shadow and Mist City as the material of the trap, and connected this trap with the St. Giles Clock Tower, like a bomb installed on the heart, and it would be destroyed if it was slightly touched.Dawn Knight can't take the risk of destroying the barrier and forcibly break through the barrier. She, who is submerged in it, must peel it off, analyze it and then dismantle it.

Dawn Knight stepped into the trap step by step.The image of the smoking room faded, and a new face appeared in the fog.A young woman, she remembered this person, who was the same time as she studied in the Knights of the Holy Sword in the past.The woman's face is facing the front, as if communicating with someone face to face.

The bells disappeared, and some piano performances sounded, and the scales were fragmented, if there was nothing.

"When I was in the Holy Sword Knights? Those unforgettable times..." The woman raised her legs, "You know the essence of that place, right? It was actually a cannon fodder training camp during the Secret War period. Few people really planned to cultivate any elites. Come out, after all, the law of impermanence can't be quick, and in order to urgently cultivate combat power for the coming war, isn't it just counterproductive.

So the atmosphere in that place is also very bad... Most of them are orphans, poor families and down-and-out nobles. The task of learning is heavy, and the atmosphere is as bad as those in public schools. "

The woman's eyes were hazy, as if she was recalling the past: "It's nothing to think about it now, it's nothing more than the school bullying... The poor and the weak are bullied, and everyone lives like this... But that woman is different. Everyone She is about to stand up when she is swallowing her anger. Do you know what she did? She duels with those people! She fights duels every day, wins every duel, and no one dares to provoke her in the end She is... really amazing, just like the protagonist of the novel."

The woman giggled, and another person's voice interjected outside the screen: "Everyone is very grateful to her, right?" The woman's complexion slowly changed. "Ha..." Her voice dropped. "Those people suffered from her, and in the end they intensified their revenge on innocent people like us. In the end, it was not us who were unlucky... meddling and self-righteous."

A trace of hatred flashed in the woman's eyes: "I wanted to kneel down and beg her at that time. I really thank you. Please spare us poor people and stop upholding justice."

Fragments of the past flashed through Dawn Knight's mind, but she remained unmoved.She is a creator who pursues the truth, and the Knight of Dawn will not be afraid of the truth.

The image of the woman dissipated, and the fog faded away.A red brick road emerged in the slightly clearer world, with ancient white stone buildings on both sides of the road, and an old building covered with ivy at the end.Dawn Knight is familiar with this place, this is the Knights branch of Kulin City, the first unit she came to after graduating from the Holy Sword Knights.

Dawn Knight only stayed here for one year, during which she walked this road countless times, living a two-point and one-line life from the dormitory to the office building.There are always people coming and going on the road, and no one talks to her or stands by her side. She walks alone among the crowd, day after day.

Now the red brick road is filled with gray figures, and people who cannot see the outlines avoid it, full of resistance like the colleagues in the memory, their eyes just glanced away, and they looked away in disgust. fear.The Dawn Knight walked the brick road again, and the whispers of the figures reached her ears, just like in the past.

"That girl doesn't even know how to hold a knife and fork." "She doesn't speak well." "Like a barbarian, how did you get in here?" "Sell her lust, haha!" "Did you see that, Today she actually corrected my words and deeds! It's ridiculous, talking about the rules and regulations with me, who does she think she is!" "A dead child who doesn't know how to measure." "Sooner or later she will be kicked away..."

Rumors, slander, framing, prejudice, bad words, strange looks from people.The Dawn Knight is still calm, and most of the analysis of the trap has passed.She walked out of the vortex of malice, she didn't care about the gossip of these people, it was the same in the past, and it is the same now.

"Have you heard, that person is off work to solve the case." "There is something wrong with his brain... This kind of case will make everyone's face look ugly." "You want to be promoted and go crazy!" "What's wrong Yes, pigs should roll in the mud..." "Hey! I just received the news that she has been selected for the star knight's assessment list!" "Fuck it! Are the people above crazy!!" "Quickly find a way to build a relationship, hurry up and please that her..."

The Dawn Knight was approaching the core of the trap. She walked through the red brick road and walked into the office building of the Knights of Culin City.When she walked in, everything changed, and she was placed in a more familiar environment, standing in the headquarters of the Knights where she was working now.There were many people in the hall, everyone was very nervous, and no one paid attention to her arrival.

The sound of the piano gradually became denser, playing a cheerful and light tune.Two people she was familiar with walked into the headquarters, the knight Gaffrey and the old captain, and they were talking nervously.

"Oh my God! You can't imagine what she did!" Gaffrey waved his hands excitedly, "So many investigations and evidences... the entire capital, no, the entire kingdom will be destroyed by her!"

"... Alas." The old regiment leader didn't speak, but sighed sadly.Gaffrey became anxious: "My God! What can we do... Maybe we shouldn't rush to accept her then!"

"..." The Dawn Knight slowed down a little.

The two walked past her and walked out through the gate.Then colleagues came on stage one by one. "Too anxious." Yulia sighed. "She's not as 'smart' as she thought..." Raquel shook her head bored. "I want to call in sick, really." Sara rubbed her temples vigorously.

The knights in the illusion passed by the dawn knight without saying a word, like passengers passing by the aisle in a hurry when the train arrives at the station.They talked to their mobile phones in the car and didn't care about the disclosure of the content of the conversation. They knew that the people in the seats next to them would never see each other again in their lives, so they didn't care at all.

Dawn Knight knew that those were all angry words, and they were all one-sided truths.She knows that her colleagues and friends still respect and love her, but her steps are still a little slower... or slow down...

The voices of other people in the headquarters interspersed, many people came towards her, and many people walked past her. "Does she know what she's doing!" "Damn it, my father's because of this..." "Okay, the annual salary and benefits for the next few years will be worth seeing." "I just bought a new car and go to work today I was smashed." "Who begged her to do such a stupid thing!" "I'm so fucking fed up, when will that woman leave!!"

In the end, there was no one in the hall, and the sound of the piano stopped, as if the music had come to an end.Only the Dawn Knight walked alone, looking for the heart of the trap.There was a monotonous noise looming in the silence, like a train passing by the side of the railway.She thought of the house she lived in when she was a child, and there was a railway track behind the house, and every day at midnight when the last train passed by, there would be such a sound.In the dream, she was awakened by the noise, stared at the cracks in the ceiling, and fell asleep again after a long time.

The noise accompanied her footsteps, and the dawn knight walked through the empty hall, walked through the deserted corridor, and opened an office door.

The space behind the door is spacious, with a large screen floating in the center, like a movie theater.Orianna was sitting in the center of the screen, and the distressed look on her face was greatly enlarged by the screen.Her voice sounded, sad and guilty.

"I asked the knight Elandia before, and she said that my ability is not enough...I know she is telling the truth, but I am still very sad...Sorry, I..."

Orianna said softly, "I think she's right. I can't help her. Maybe she doesn't need it, either?"

The screen flashed, and a new picture emerged, which was the time Jane Diella spent with her, her first entourage, and her former friend.

"Hello, Knight Elandia! I, I, I have always admired you!" Jane, who met her for the first time, greeted her nervously. "Are you really willing?! I will work hard! I will never let down your trust!!" Jane, who became a follower, danced excitedly. "You know so many things." Jane was amazed during the investigation. "Do you like to read detective novels? Er... not too ladylike..." Jane joked with her. "Fish and chips are too common! I want to enjoy the upper class life~" Jane waved a knife and fork to chat with her.

"The prisoner is... oh, is it wrong again..." Jane, who failed in reasoning, hugged her head and wailed. "I sometimes think, in fact, you don't need my help..." Jane said dejectedly. "Knight Elandia, I think I really fell in love with His Highness the Crown Prince! He is simply a perfect gentleman..." Jane talked about the hypocritical love. "Why, why did you break my dream!" Jane cried in pain. "I'm much better, Knight Elandia." "Sorry." "Wrong again." "I'm so incompetent." "Maybe I should... no, it's nothing."

"Knight Elandia...why do you want to destroy the captain's armor...?" Jane's eyes were full of shock, but there was a twisted joy in the depths.

"I'm your friend... Dawn Knight!! Your followers are being looked down upon!! You're just watching and doing nothing?! How can you be so ruthless!!"

The screen jumps rapidly, arriving at the night when they parted ways.Jane knelt in the corridor, looking at her with hatred in her eyes.Then a new picture appeared, which was Jane Diella's battle in the outside world.Jane is fighting with Gongsun Ce and Yulia, she looks so strange, her former friend is crazy like a demon, screaming hysterically.

"The value of my existence, the meaning of my existence, has completely disappeared by the Dawn Knight!! That's why I want to take revenge! Take revenge on Elandia!"

Unknowingly, Dawn Knight stopped. She stared at those pictures, speechless for a long time.After a few seconds she moved on, pushed open the exit door, and walked out of the movie theater-like space.

The new room was blank, without any extra furnishings.The two doors one behind the other serve as the exit and entrance. Jane Diella stood in the center of the room and said expressionlessly: "I hate you. Elandia Helleson."

The Dawn Knight walked past the former followers and pushed open the exit door.The new room was exactly the same as here. Another Jane stood in front of her with a blank face and cold hatred in her eyes. Her voice echoed that of Jane behind her.

"Nobody wants to be around you."

"Everyone has had enough of your authenticity."

The Dawn Knight pushed open one door after another, and what greeted her was always the same scene.It seems that infinite rooms have been copied and arranged into a completely consistent maze, no matter how you move forward, it is like pacing in place.Countless Janes spoke in front of and behind her, and the stacked sounds were as weird as a tsunami.

"No one is asking you for help."

"Don't be so self-righteous, okay?"

"Everyone's life has been ruined by you..."

Unknowingly, the infinite room disappeared, and in the darkness, there were dots of light lit up. The endless screen of light enveloped the Dawn Knight like a sphere, and endless human beings cast disgusting gazes at her. Jane said together with hatred.

"—if only you weren't here."

The Rider of the Dawn is not afraid of the truth.

Dawn Knights cannot be harmed by Malice.

Pursuing truth, the Genesis Master has no weaknesses.

However.However.

Elandia Helleson, still feels pain and grief.

Truth is the sharpest blade, undeniable and therefore unbreakable, when it stabs the heart you have nowhere to hide.You can't do anything but accept it, but the human mind has a limit after all, and it is not as eternal as God's reason.

"..."

After a long absence, Elandia once again felt ethereal, as if she was about to fly to the other side.She should accept it all.She cannot escape the truth.Elandia who is not needed by others, Elandia who does not need others...

Is it going to become an eternal reality after all?Stay alone on the inside of the world.

As a result, the real truth grows little by little, and Elandia, who is a human being, gradually becomes smaller.

"Alandia!" Gongsun Ce roared, and punched the fog outside the bell tower, "Wake up! Alandia!!"

Gongsun Ce can "see" what's going on inside.Seeing the mist surrounding her, seeing the phantom in the mist, and seeing her condition deeply trapped in it.But he couldn't get through, and he couldn't go to the inside of the barrier no matter what.It seemed that there was an invisible wall locked on the outside of the clock tower, no matter how hard he beat it, he couldn't get past it.He attacked the wall again and again, but failed. He was counterattacked by his own strength again and again, and fell back to the platform of the bell tower.

"Stop, Gongsun Ce!" Yulia grabbed his shoulder behind him, "What are you doing! Did you fall under the enemy's illusion!"

Julia couldn't see it.He understood immediately.Yulia's power cannot extend to the inside of the barrier, but his telekinetic power can.But now there is no extra time to explain, we must race against time.Elandia's condition was very bad, but she had a look in her eyes that he couldn't understand.The existence of Elandia Helaisen seemed to be changing, and the change made him unable to explain clearly. He only felt that something was becoming weaker and thinner...

"Hey... Elandia!!"

Gongsun Ce suddenly understood the crisis.Before, when he looked at the woman in the environment, he could imagine her helplessness, but now he gradually couldn't understand her feelings.Elandia had become a stranger, she was gradually transforming into a "creature" he could not understand, like a real machine.

She is still so beautiful and so powerful, but will she still communicate with herself like that?Will he patiently correct his etiquette again and again?Not anymore.If Dawn Knight's transformation continues, those pasts will disappear along with her existence.She won't share emotions with you anymore, she won't teach you in the afternoon sun, she won't even say thank you when it's all over... just a cold idol.

It was a murder, a murder of "people."The Elandia he knew was about to die, and the woman he liked was about to disappear forever and remain in his memory forever!

"Don't go there...! Come back, Elandia!"

Elandia was still walking in the fog, and the humanity in her eyes was almost gone.He punched again, and was counterattacked by force again, the young man fell to the ground in pain, the strong impact made it difficult for him to breathe, blood flowed from his forehead, blurring his vision.

What are you doing?You are the invincible Dawn Knight, you can kill all enemies with a single sword, and no lie can be hidden from your eyes.But why are you tied up by such a dirty trick?Shouldn't your mind be much stronger than mine? How can you be defeated by mere human malice!

"I've seen that smoking man too. When he was chatting, he said that the Knight of Dawn must not be the prisoner of the armor case. He was an upright knight. Your former female classmate worked in the Blue Chapel District. I saw her talk to her colleagues about it. When you investigated the case back then, you said you were a man of integrity!"

Gongsun Ce struggled to get up and stopped tremblingly.He thought that Dawn Knight shouldn't be so weak, there must be a reason for her failure... What is Situ Yi's thinking... What is the core of this trap...

——I am the only one who wants revenge!Revenge on you!Take revenge on Elandia!
Suddenly he understood, he knew why the trap worked.Because Elandia is lonely.Everyone is hostile to her, few people cherish her, and she has only a few friends besides those good-tempered colleagues.She put the friends she had finally made with the most important position in her heart, but the former friends turned against each other and stabbed her heart.Her heart was hurt that day, and that wound never healed.

"An unbearable woman...!"

Gongsun Ce wiped the blood from his face and stepped forward again.Unprecedented emotions flooded his body, and emotions made his strength majestic.For the first time in his life, he wanted to completely destroy something.He must break this invisible wall, even if he exhausts his strength, he will destroy it.

The "psychic power" rapidly expanded at this moment, and the indescribable violent power was concentrated in the boy's only right fist.In an instant, his aura became strange and fierce, like a demon in mythology who wanted to burn the world.After the run-up, Gongsun Ce roared and jumped up, throwing his fists at all costs, hitting his will and mind towards the barrier that divides the world!
·
"Elandia...Elandia..."

Someone's calling was heard.

Like the noise of a train looming.Like a noise in a hallucination.

"return……!"

How about going back there?
Endless figures floated around him.So many people are telling a fact.There is no need for His existence in the human world.The moment of decision has come.He slowly floated up, surrounded by countless people, upward, upward...

"Are you an awkward child! Do you feel so uncomfortable because your followers betrayed you!!"

But someone's voice is still there.

Clear, loud, not like noise.There was a dull sound, like someone hitting the wall with a fist.The shallowness of those words made him helpless, and it was not such a simple problem.It's the contradiction between the way of being and what I want in my heart, it's my isolation from the world, it's...

"It's just because I'm lonely! It's because I feel like I'm hated by everyone!!"

No matter how far the distance is, the gods are thinking about the real constants and exploring the new forms of existence of life, but the young man watching does not have such a high vision and realm, he can only think with his own monotonous logic, and only thinks that he is alone. People are very poor and lonely.

There is no resonance or understanding.Just shallow wishful thinking.The foolish delusions of youth lie in parallels which have nothing to do with Him.The lives that are moving forward on their own tracks, never intersect like the sky and the earth.

However, the beating sound never stopped.

However, he on the parallel line is still roaring.

"A woman who makes people look down! In that case..."

The sound of beating hit after blow, and the brutal human beings never stopped for a moment.The endless figures began to vibrate, and everything was shaking unsteadily, like an angry giant punching the planet from the outside, trying to engrave his will here.The blow fell like a shooting star, creating a pure white crack between the silhouettes!
The whole world was shaking, and the human figures formed by malice flashed and disappeared, and the phantom of Jane Diella reappeared, and was shattered by the aftermath of the attack before it could make a sound.Fissures bloomed in the fierce attacks, covering every corner of the world. With the final punch, the light and shadows in the sky were shattered at the same time. Stardust scattered!
The real world emerged as the light dissipated, not a giant or a shooting star, but just a black-haired boy in black waving his fists.He was seriously wounded, his head was bleeding, and he only had one arm left. He stood tenaciously in a state of embarrassment.The boy jumped down from the air, reached out to her, and yelled at her.

"If you feel lonely, let me be your follower!"

Their eyes intertwined in the blink of an eye, they were so close but never so far away.He on the parallel line has exhausted his strength and cannot reach His hand.

So Elandia stretched out her hand, and grabbed the boy who did everything to save her.

Gongsun Ce was dragged back to the ground by her, looking nervously at the silver-haired woman in front of him.She still seemed dazed, still in the fog.Her eyes slowly focused on his face, gradually revealing his familiar smile.

"Thank you." Elandia said softly.

On both sides of the barrier, the big bells rang simultaneously.The pure white power reverberated inside and outside the barrier with the sound of the bell, smoothing the Shadow Mist City that was about to collapse.The Dawn Knight led the boy across the realm and came to the front side of the barrier.The clear white light swept across the capital, swaying all the beasts and ghosts under the sword.

Gongsun Ce calmed down and lost consciousness.

He knew it would all end because the knight he knew had returned to reality.
