Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 359 Temporary Belonging
"The desire for motherhood and the elderly is very common among adolescents. Your special identity and experience will especially enhance the subconscious sense of loneliness. This is a normal psychological phenomenon..."

"Stop! Don't explain!" Gongsun Ce covered his ears and yelled in despair, "It's not what you imagined! This topic is over, don't bring it up again and let me forget it!"

"And you know, memories don't fade easily."

"Come on, let's talk about something else!"

The dawn knight handed over a peeled pear, and Gongsun Ce stuffed it in his mouth, trying to choke himself to death with the pear.

He thought that the first meeting in Shadow Mist City was the pinnacle of embarrassment in his life, but it turns out that a person's life is far more ups and downs than he imagined, and there will be more and no less embarrassing and embarrassing things... After recovering from serious injuries The crush sits by the bed and looks after you. Hey, what a fucking rare scene. It’s enough to have a second time in a lifetime. Even if you can’t wake up like the hero in the movie, you can at least make a joke!It's all right now, in people's minds, I'm afraid I've completely turned into a stinky brat, and I'm useless in this life. If I had known this, I might as well have given up on myself and rushed forward for a touching hug, so that at least I could get some good luck!

"Damn..." He finished gnawing on a pear, and then slowly returned to his normal state, "How is everyone? Is it over? How long have I been asleep?"

"You have been in a coma for 3 days, Mr. Gongsun."

Elandia told him the follow-up of the incident in detail, about the ending of each battle and the changes in the overall environment.Gongsun Ce listened carefully for a while, then pondered and said, "Situ Yi went to the palace himself, is his goal the crown?"

"The crown is also a high-level mental arm, and it is also a necessary prop for the royal family to inherit the law of impermanence." Elandia said.

"I don't think that man would go to such lengths just because of a mere armed weapon..." Gongsun Ce pondered, "The main point is inheritance? What exactly does this impermanent inheritance refer to? I never thought that this thing can be passed on from person to person." of."

"This is an ancient ritual, which strips the aura of impermanence from one's own mind, and realizes the adoption of abilities through the fusion of heart and heart." Elandia explained, "The higher the degree of similarity between the two parties, the better the The deeper the relationship with each other, the higher the degree of completion of inheritance."

Leaving aside what aura is, this method sounds like some master empowerment in martial arts novels.Based on the theory alone, this "empowerment" should not need to be armed, but Elandia said that the crown is a "necessary prop"...

Think about it from another angle.Impermanence, a thing that comes from the heart, should be handed over to others, and there should be big problems?It’s okay if the old king is dying every time before he succeeds, but in the history of the kingdom, there are also normal handovers in which the old king abdicates and the new king ascends the throne. I have never heard of those kings who abdicated are unknown in their old age...

"In order to protect both sides of the inheritance?" Gongsun Ce had an idea, "It is easy to cause accidents if you directly inherit the entire law of impermanence, so use weapons as a carrier to carry out indirect transmission of gong. Will the lamp run out and die directly after the inheritance is completed?"

"You have always been sharp, Mr. Gongsun." Elandia appreciated, "The royal family has never disclosed the principle of crown succession in detail, but I think the crown stores the thoughts and memories entrusted by the kings of the past. These powers can protect both sides safety, and help the new king gradually stabilize and control power."

"So the crown is still a big database, maybe you can see the memory of King Morton... Situ Yi has been studying the myth of the founding of the country, maybe he wants this memory to attack the Queen." Gongsun Ce pondered, " With so many world-creating law envoys appearing, it is impossible for Situ Yi to be alone, and that so-called 'Hidden Law Master' might be their leader...the real leader of that organization."

He recalled the short communication with the man in the troupe, and said with mixed feelings: "It really ended like a trick."

This accidental death may have something to do with him dedicating his strength to specifically restrict Ailandia. Unexpectedly, Situ Yi, whose trap was destroyed, fell short, and was finally abandoned by his trusted accomplices and died.It's ironic that a man who plays with people's hearts will exit due to "miscalculation" like a traditional villain boss.

After saying this, the two were speechless for a while. Gongsun Ce wanted to mention Jane, but felt that the topic of "Hey, I stabbed your former good sister to death with my own hands" sounded more like street dancing in a minefield. What a disaster.It was rare for him to be silent, and he heard Elandia on the side say: "Mr. Gongsun, why did you come to help me at that time?"

"what?"

Gongsun Ce was stunned, thinking what the hell kind of problem is this?Does such a thing need a reason?But Elandia's expression looked so focused, as if she was talking about the evidence with him, which made him give up the idea of ​​fooling around.

"There's just... no reason." Gongsun Ce scratched his head, "It's like when you see the girl in the next class being bullied in the corner after school is over, or you see an unlucky child surrounded by a group of gangsters after school Asking for money, most of the time you feel that they are miserable and have nothing to do with you and rush past, but sometimes you think they are too miserable and you can’t bear to watch them, why don’t you just go up and complain?
That doggy phantom trap looks disgusting as hell, edited together with a bunch of 'truths' from acquaintances to make it look like the whole world is bullying you together.But the fact is definitely not the case! Eva's so depressing film lost the theatrical version, not to mention the last episode, everyone applauded and said "Congratulations", the reality has no reason to be worse.I thought to myself, why is such a good person like Elandia trying to get you in such a miserable situation, there is no need for a reason. "

Elandia looked at him quietly: "What is eva?"

"Ah, it's a cartoon. I really like the one made by Zero Island at the end of the last century..."

Gongsun Ce clutched his forehead in despair, thinking that he was so fucking awesome that it was rare for him to have a chance to be handsome, so he was talking about animation again.

Elandia nodded and smiled at him: "You have a more sense of justice than I imagined, Mr. Gongsun."

"Please don't speak in this tone, okay? It seems to be doing some kind of commendation for the three good youths."

Elandia changed the subject: "And, you seem to have misunderstood the question. Why you 'can', not why you 'will'."

Gongsun Ce and her stared at each other for three seconds, and gradually realized that a lot of his words were not answers to the questions, and they were asking about means, and he was talking about motives.

"That's right, um." He said awkwardly, "I stretched my telekinetic power over there and saw the illusion, and then I exploded my power and hit you there."

"Oh." Dawn Knight nodded.

Gongsun Ce lay back on the hospital bed little by little, covering his head with the quilt, like a dead body covered with a white cloth.His whisper came from the quilt, as desperate as a frog blown into the sky by a typhoon.

"just kill me……"

·
Dawn Knight did not kill him, but led him out of the hospital.Gongsun Ce changed back to his usual suit and put on a new hat.

"Why are you wearing this?"

"Because you are a little famous now. If you don't hide it, you may be recognized by the citizens."

Gongsun Ce remembered the news he had seen before, and suddenly realized.It is not easy for the kingdom officials to put the matter of impermanence in the open, so they simply put all the credit on the elder brother and him.After all, the big brother, the heavyweight machine god, has seen it all. It’s not easy to collectively brainwash the citizens of the city, saying that the resolution of the crisis is all due to the superpowers...

The fact is true, no big brother king would have been beaten to pieces by King Mu long ago.

Now they were walking on the streets of the inner city. It was getting late and the street lights were about to be turned on, and most of the people were holding oil lamps in their hands.Gongsun Ce observed the surrounding environment with the help of lights, and found that the atmosphere was a little tense but generally stable, which convinced him that the damage caused by the chaos was indeed not great.After a month or two, everyone will forget about today's commotion, and in a year or so, it is estimated that few people will mention it. Only those involved will know how dangerous that day was.

"What are we going to do now?" Gongsun Ce asked blankly.

"Go to dinner." Elandia said, "In the past three days, the situation has gradually stabilized, and we have completed most of the aftermath work. Although the official duties are still heavy, Knight Rakel recommends holding a small celebration after you wake up. Yes, congratulations on successfully protecting the capital."

"Sounds pretty good." Gongsun Ce looked left and right, secretly checking for familiar faces nearby, "By the way, can I take off this hat for a while?"

Elandia looked at him for a while and said, "If you want a sense of accomplishment, I think everyone in the headquarters will not hesitate to praise your actions."

"I didn't! I just..." Gongsun Ce was furious, "Okay, I just want a sense of accomplishment! I lost an arm and broke a leg from the beating, so it's not too much to be self-satisfied!"

"No. But..."

Gongsun Ce took off his hat directly, and walked two steps with his head held high.There is no change in the world, people around are still talking about their own affairs, and everyone comes and goes on their own.He stood without moving for a while, and gradually felt that he was a fucking idiot, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"...Hey?" At this moment, a voice came from the crowd, and a young student was standing not far away, holding a sandwich he had just eaten.He stared at Gongsun Ce with his mouth wide open, and said in surprise, "You're that superpower in black? The boy who fought monsters?!"

"Ahaha." Gongsun Ce said awkwardly, "Yes, I—"

People's eyes suddenly focused, and many citizens stopped and stared at him.Immediately afterwards, people's cheers and praise surged, submerging the young people like a tide. "Holy King, it's that boy..." "I saw the video of you fighting!" "It's amazing, you're so young!" "My father was in that park at the time, and he said you saved him! "

In an instant, he seemed to be standing under the spotlight and became the focus of much attention.So many voices and sights surrounded the boy from all directions, making him at a loss for what to do.He saw someone taking out his mobile phone to take a picture, so he quickly covered his face with a cloak. "It's nothing, it's easy to do... Thank you! Thank you everyone!" He hurriedly flew up into the sky, put on his hat, and caused exclamations from the crowd.

Gongsun Ce went around a few times and landed near the headquarters.Elandia appeared in front of him, put her hands on the brim of her deerstalker hat, and said helplessly, "So I don't suggest you do this."

"I'm a fool, can't I? I'm happy!"

Gongsun Ce's heartbeat quickened due to nervousness, and he couldn't help but smirked.He had done the same job so many times in the firmament, he never thought it was a big deal.But this is the first time... There is such a big feedback waiting for him, as if he has done something really big.

"Don't you say this is outrageous?" Gongsun Ce, who came back to his senses, smiled wryly, "They were so hostile to people with super powers before, but they suddenly changed to this attitude?"

"People's thoughts are always easily guided by louder voices, and how you view it is up to you." Elandia said, "You can call it 'seeing the wind and making the rudder', or it can be said to be 'knowing the favor'. .”

"It's hard to say..." Gongsun Ce muttered, and followed the Dawn Knight to the headquarters not far away.

They walked into the Knights headquarters and walked through the hall. The celebration banquet was held in the reception room on the third floor.The crystal chandelier on the ceiling shone dimly, the candlesticks on the wooden cabinets were lit with candles, the original furniture was removed and replaced with a long table full of food, and the people he was familiar with held conversations indoors with plates and wine glasses.

This was really a small celebration banquet, except for the star knights and their entourage, only the elder brother who arrived one step earlier was left.Mo Yuankai stood in the middle of the room holding a can of beer, and responded to everyone's congratulations with a little embarrassment.Standing at the door, Gongsun Ce suddenly felt his feverish mind calm down a little, and his familiar feeling and positioning returned.Under the guidance of official public opinion, he briefly enjoyed the glory of being in the public eye for a while, but in the end the center of the stage still had to be given to those stars who really shined.

He didn't actually do anything, did he?It is the elder brother and the World Creation Envoys who decide the outcome of the battle. He just tried his best.

Gongsun Ce habitually walked to the corner, trying to find a quieter place to stand.At this time, the knights noticed his arrival, and the blue-haired knight walked over first, and stuffed a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine into the hand of the superhuman without any explanation.

Yulia raised her cup: "To the King and friends of the Knights!"

The star knights raised their glasses one after another, and the familiar people smiled at him one by one.The knights of Superbia said in unison: "Respect the king and friends of the Knights!"

He was wheeled into the middle of the room, and everyone clinked glasses with him. "Thank you..." Gongsun Ce's voice trembled a little, he was surrounded by knights, he didn't know what to say, so he just repeated, "Thank you all!"

·
Gongsun Ce spent more than an hour happily. He and his elder brother cleaned up most of the food on the table.He listened to Raquel tell toast jokes in the south of the kingdom, talked to Gaffrey about the kingdom's many stereotypes, he and Sara made jokes about Yulia, and listened to the old leader recite ancient long poems in high spirits.

He drank a few glasses of wine and felt a little hot, so he went to the balcony to cool off. (Alandia reminded minors not to drink alcohol after the start, which was selectively ignored by everyone.) Orianna and Alandia whispered next to each other. "Knight Elandia, what do you think of me this time..." "I think you did a great job, Knight Orianna."

Gongsun Ce chuckled a few times, and leaned carelessly against the railing on the edge of the balcony.Mo Yuankai came over with a wine glass and leaned beside him.

"How is it, Ce?"

"What?" Gongsun Ce asked back.

"Supebia."

"Eating is okay, wine is good."

"Oh……"

"It's a pretty nice city." Gongsun Ce said sincerely.

"Yes, it's pretty good." Mo Yuankai raised his glass with a smile, "Drink a glass!"

Gongsun Ce drunkenly raised his glass and touched his eldest brother.He thought to himself that this city is really like an old building, with many problems inside and out, but once you get used to it, you still think this place is good...

At least this is not a place to exclude you.

·
Somewhere far away from the headquarters of the Knights, in a luxurious garden, a child in black is staring at the starry sky with his party.

"It's really thanks to you for giving me the jade." Jane pushed the concentric jade to the table.

"You can be safe and sound thanks to your own caution. After using the jade, you can still use the clone to control the puppet to cast spells." Yinlu Lord said.

"I have to be careful. The Dawn Knight is unfathomable. If you didn't do more tricks, I'm afraid it's not just a loss of jade. We've already been exposed." Jane sighed, "Speaking of Situ Yi, I didn't want you to be the last one. Did the enemy die in battle? How could it be turned into a scapegoat for Master Yin Lu?"

"It's as if I've broken my promise." Lord Yinlu said displeased.

Situ Yi's voice sounded with a smile: "The performance is the most important thing! If there is no suitable reason, how can you leave the stage reasonably? Please ask Yin Lu to be a villain~"

Jane held a gun with a stick when she spoke: "Your trap doesn't seem to be effective either?"

"I wanted to make Lixiao wake up and become a king. Reality and lust competed for the top. At that time, it was easy to get Liuli. Unexpectedly, the bad clown became a good clown, and the little character became a great hero. What happened unexpectedly, the world is impermanent~!"

Jane was deeply troubled, and once again felt that partnering with this man was too risky a move.If Elandia Helaisen really becomes the eternal king of this era, who can guarantee that he will enter the world, the end of the road?In fact, the realm is not always effective, once the realm is damaged...

"Alas..." Jane couldn't help but let out a long sigh when she thought of the extremely bad consequences, and then blamed: "Sir, can you arrange the script first when you act next time? We amateur actors can't improvise every time."

"It's okay. I didn't expect much from this trap. This battle has been successful."

Master Yin Lu flicked between his fingers, and a glass bead-like object flew into the air, and he caught it.

That is the core that remained when the skeleton king Morton disintegrated...

It is also one of the real goals of this battle.

"The recovery of the pupil of the netherworld is completed, so the conditions are all gathered. Everyone can rest for a while, and the next time they appear on stage, it will be the end of the big show."

The figure of Yinlu Lord disappeared into the night and disappeared.
