Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 360 Your Story

Superbia East, Starr White Field Cemetery.

The cold winter wind blows, making the dusty weeds flutter, and the dry branches move with the wind, like the skinny hands of an old man.The tombstones under the dead trees are arranged in an orderly manner, which looks like a miniature town from a distance.

Gongsun Ce is standing in front of a newly erected tombstone, holding a bouquet of violets in his hand.The tombstone is the most common style, and the epitaph is concise: "Once comrades, past friends."

"This place is quite bleak in winter, but I have seen photos, and when the flowers bloom in spring, the surrounding area is full of flowers. The environment is better than where many people live." Gongsun Ce placed the flowers in Jane Diella In front of the tombstone, "Go well."

He put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.

Of course, he did not set up the monument. Jane's funeral was arranged by the Dawn Knight. She didn't tell anyone else about it, but after studying for more than a month, Gongsun Ce can also deduce from the clues that Elandia is doing What.He also kept quiet, only saying that he went out for a stroll, and went alone to send a bouquet of flowers to the enemy he killed with his own hands.

It's kind of hypocritical when you think about it, and he's not that sad.It's like a ritual that marks the end of the matter.What would Elandia say if she knew this idea?

"The essence of paying homage to the dead is to comfort the living..." Gongsun Ce said to himself, "That's it."

"Yo? It's rare for you to say something nice!"

He looked up and saw Creek Hyde waving not far away, holding a bouquet of purple flowers.

·
"You're a big shot now!" Crookie marveled, "Her Majesty the Queen personally received you, awarded the George Cross, and acted as a role model~ Do I have to call you Sir Gongsun?"

"Don't come here, it's all pre-determined and officially announced until the end of August, and it's only a title." Gongsun Ce looked at her suspiciously, "Isn't it all internal information later on, how do you know?"

Ke Liji squinted and smiled: "Sister, how can I say that you have been in the system until now, you, a foreigner who has just arrived, still want to compare the intelligence network with me?"

The green-haired girl put her hands behind her head and whistled as she walked, with a leisurely expression as if she was walking in the park.She threw the bouquet in front of the grave and sang "Rest in peace, my friend!" Then she slapped her buttocks and left as if nothing had happened. He was so angry that he turned into a phantom and talked to her.

Gongsun Ce stretched out a finger to bluff: "No, I think you have a ghost! Tell me honestly what you were doing on the day of the duel."

Creeky immediately raised his hands: "My lord, please spare me! If you want to do something, you can do it directly. Xiaomin promises to cooperate without making so many excuses..."

"You'll die if you don't make dirty jokes?"

"It's a pity to let the little boy not be funny!" Krikey said confidently, "Sister, I went to escort the driver as soon as possible that day. When His Royal Highness Jackson slashed the desire beast in the East District, I was still in the team. After slashing monsters Is it easy for me to lie down until now when I am seriously injured!"

Gongsun Ce's eyes suddenly became strange: "Isn't it your turn to run to escort the second prince later? Aren't you the apprentice of the old idiot?"

Creeky stretched out his fingertips and poked at his forehead: "It doesn't prevent me from being a subordinate of the royal family. Who says one person can't have two jobs?"

Gongsun Ce clasped the finger that came from the opposite side together, and said with a smirk: "Okay, you are a double-faced female spy. Sow discord and fan the flames!"

"Master Jazz is trying to torture me with a gun and a stick in his words..." Krikey withdrew his index finger and crossed his arms, "There is still a little expectation."

"Master Jazz isn't interested in tablets." Gongsun Ce waved his hand, dispelling his doubts.

Almost a week had passed since the day of the duel. During this time, they had been looking for the Genesis Envoy who escaped that day, but they hadn't found anything.This is reasonable, after all, it is an impossible task to find a invisible world without a trace.

On the other hand, the investigation of the inner ghost has also fallen into an embarrassing situation: the existence of the invisible man Chuangjie has been confirmed, so how can we find the inner ghost?As long as the Envoy of Genesis exists, the information will be one-way transparent to the enemy.Even if there is not a single ghost, the Invisible Creation World can rely on its own advantages to create a situation where enemies are everywhere.This is nothing more than another "armor case". The battlefield was a mess that day, and every high-level executive could not produce conclusive evidence to prove whether his actions were true, and the investigation was deadlocked.

The means cannot be considered, only the motives.Who will benefit from this mess...

Gongsun Ce was thinking about it endlessly, when he heard the people beside him say, "Don't be too sad, if you don't kill her, you will be the one who will die, and you are right."

Gongsun Ce retorted habitually: "Why am I sad? I just think she's quite... how should I put it, she shouldn't? Maybe I found out earlier that she can still be saved."

"I don't think so." Keriki turned around and looked at the tombstone in the distance.

They stood on a high place near the exit, and looked around the cemetery, which was gray and lifeless, like exquisite ruins.She was smiling when she spoke, but her tone was cold and impersonal.

"Some things are doomed from the very beginning. Some people are born strong and kind, while others are born weak and evil, just like night and day are incompatible. Some people can overcome the influence of the environment and induce others to carry out their will because they are born Standing on the side of 'white', they know how they should live.

But other people can only live on the "dark" side. They look at people under the sun so dazzling and beautiful, and have the illusion that they can pass by themselves, but once they cross the line, they find that they are out of place.When they saw Bai's purity, they felt ashamed of their filthiness, and hated to defile it instead.The more they hold on like that, the more they hurt themselves, and in the end they still crawl back into the black quagmire and fall secretly..."

"Those people were born with no cure."

Creeky looked back with a calm expression.She was clearly talking about Jane Diella, but her tone seemed to be talking about herself.Gongsun Ce shrunk for no reason, frowned and said, "A good girl, why is she so pessimistic? Be positive, okay?"

"Hey, if you see too many bad things in society, you will naturally lose your mind!" Krikey grinned, "So when I saw a little boy like you, I wanted to talk more, to feel the innocence of believing in love and justice. Time. Cherish the good times now! When you grow up, it will be difficult to be optimistic~"

She whistled and ran away, her back was relaxed and happy, the pessimism that was inadvertently revealed earlier seemed to be an illusion, and it was also like an actor's rare expression of true feelings.Gongsun Ce watched her walk away, feeling that his mentality, which had just been active, was gradually becoming heavy again.

They parted at the fork in the road, Gongsun Ce went out through the main entrance, and Ke Liji walked towards the side entrance.

She left the cemetery, wandered aimlessly in a random direction, and unknowingly came to an old brick house.The red brick building built in the middle of the last century is located on the backlit side of the street. Through the windows on the second floor, you can see the doors next to each other. The mottled walls are full of red or black stains, broken The light tube stands on the ground against the wall.

"Long time no see, Mom and Dad." Keriki said to himself.

She twirled the jackknife between her fingers, and pushed her free hand towards the door, as if intending to enter the room to have a look.But Krikey suddenly changed her mind, she quickly walked into the alley beside the building, her body dispersed like mist.One breath later she appeared on top of the red brick building, wearing a dirty cloak.Ten seconds later, another 'acquaintance' came around the corner, a handsome superhuman with long hair, followed by two thugs dressed in strange clothes.

"The two of you really misunderstood the person. I'm just an ordinary tourist, how can I be a person with superpowers..."

Mo Yuankai was deeply embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to walk around the street to see the sights when he had nothing to do today, but unexpectedly he turned on the disguise but was still guessed by the two people based on their vague impressions.

"Trap! You're talking nonsense!" Tyros lowered his voice, "Look at your hair!" Capulo rubbed the green hair on his head cooperatively: "Hair!"

"Look at your face!" Capulo rubbed his face cooperatively: "Face!"

"I've seen it with my own eyes, can I still admit my mistake?!" Tierlos clapped his hands and concluded, "You were the one who didn't run away that day!"

Mo Yuankai hurriedly pulled the two of them into the alley, and whispered, "Keep your voice down, it's embarrassing to be recognized by everyone. What's the matter?"

The two gangsters looked at each other, and Qiqi said affectionately, "Thank you, hero, for saving our lives!!"

"No, it's just to help others..." Mo Yuankai is really not good at dealing with this kind of situation. Everyone in Cangdu keeps a distance, but it is rare for them to approach him directly. Creates an "I have something to get out of here" vibe, but it doesn't work very well.

"I almost thought I was dead." Tierlos was grateful, and finally wentssip again: "How many people did you save that day? That big shiny thing is also yours? It's you in the sky with that...that monster Fight?"

Mo Yuankai swiped his hand to his mouth, and said solemnly: "It's secret information, no comment!"

"Oh, oh! I understand, I understand... Did they award you a medal? Did the queen personally donate that medal?" The gossip souls of the gangsters were burning, "Is there an interview? Will it be on the headlines of the newspaper?"

Mo Yuankai immediately looked at the sky: "No, I heard the call of mission. Take care, you two, I'm going to uphold justice!"

"You're busy, you're busy!" The gangsters hurriedly retreated to the side, seeing the hero swish up to the sky, and then hang upside down under the eaves like a bat and look back, his long hair fell down and almost touched the ground.

"By the way, it's fate to meet you. I just want to tell you something." Mo Yuankai scratched his face, "Recently...try not to stay in the capital. If possible, go out for a vacation, or go outside first Odd jobs are good."

"Is there something else going to happen?" Tyros asked warily.

"It's hard to say..." Mo Yuankai shook his head, "Anyway, if you can go out, go out and live for a while, and it's best to come back in September or October. Now, I'm only telling you because of fate, so it's not good to spread it around."

"Definitely, definitely." The orange-haired gangster nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, buddy!"

Mo Yuankai went away like a ray of light, and the flattering smile on Tierlos' face faded into a sad look.

Capullo said worriedly: "Brother, are we leaving?"

"Go? Where are you going?" Tierlos slapped his little brother on the head fiercely, "Are you rich? Do you have a job? Do you have food when you leave the capital? You don't even have any relatives. Who do you go to? Go? Why do you have a room here to live in, and you can eat the subsistence allowances of the royal capital and the welfare of the royal capital, how do you live when you leave Superbia? You are not even wanted to recruit hard labor!"

Capulo held his head and said with a bitter face, "Don't hit me, you."

"Damn..." The gangster trampled on the ground with his toes back and forth, turned his mind several times, and said anxiously: "Let's take a look... look at the situation. If it doesn't look right in two weeks, we will run away."

Tierros also knew that the situation was not good. Even if such a big incident happened on the day of the duel, everyone would feel uneasy even if it was handled properly.Not to mention the drama that gradually spread...King Morton killed and seized the sword...Everyone kept quiet on the surface, but everyone in the interior was thinking, not everyone believed in the phenomenon of the dragon.

But the question is how to escape?Where are you going?What should I do after that?have no idea.No money, no contacts, no such long-term considerations, and no vision of the future.Just deal with it casually, let's push the problem first and see the situation.Anyway, it was the same in the past, and it will be the same in the future, strikes, unemployment, cuts in benefits, troubles caused by the nobles... Bad things happen every once in a while, but life always goes on like this day by day, in a muddle-headed way...

While thinking, he heard Kapullo whispering: "Brother, I don't think he is authentic. Shouldn't everyone know about this?"

Tyros was speechless to refute for a while, but he subconsciously wanted to speak for the man: "What do you know! This is because... because..."

"Because the king has a full 2000 million people, and one-tenth of the population of the whole kingdom is in this city. It is impossible to evacuate all the people within a few months, and rashly spread such vague information. Letting it out will only lead to riots. Traffic arteries are blocked, air tickets and train tickets soar, panic buying of daily necessities, not to mention economic and political chain effects..."

The green-haired woman leaned against the entrance of the alley, playing with a jackknife in her hand, and smiled back at the gangsters who cast their gazes: "The attack on the day of the duel has just ended. At this time, the wind is blowing, and the crumbling old building may be It's about to collapse!"

"Hyde?!" Tyros became nervous all of a sudden, protecting Capulo and taking two steps back. He stared at the blade in Keriki's hand, "Why did you rich man go back to the East District?"

"Why are you nervous, and I won't kill you." Krikey said with a smile, "I just happened to pass by and came over to take a look. I miss the good old days of my childhood."

Kaplo has already started to swing, and Tyros's face turned green: "Please come back if you don't have any good news to share? I'm really scared."

"Yes." Creekie whistled, "Remember Jane?"

"Jie ha ha ha! Another rich guy!" Tyros said meanly, "I was fired for stealing, right? The little bitch is disgraced, she deserves it!"

"She died. I just came back from sweeping her grave."

Tyros's mocking laughter stopped suddenly, as funny as a goose with its neck stuck.

"Why?" Capullo said blankly.

"I can't see myself clearly." Keriki shrugged, "You must have gone the wrong way, I don't know when."

"...You deserve it, you asked for it." Tyros was silent for a long time, and once again spoke cold words, with jealousy, sarcasm and sympathy. "I insist on crawling under the sun, always thinking about going to places I shouldn't go, and killing myself in the end... I've been living here, and I won't die."

"Who says it's not? People always have their place."

Keriki put away the jackknife and left leisurely.She walked into the avenue from the backlit alleyway, and it seemed that she never left.

·
Gongsun Ce walked silently among the tombstones, thinking about the words he heard when they parted.

Creeky feels that a person's position is fixed by birth, so which side is he on?Gongsun Ce asked himself, is he white?or black?
He thought he should be on the white side, but wasn't he, who was in the dead zone, also a fearsome existence in the eyes of others?It's just that the elder brother pulled him into the sun, and the place that really belongs to him may still be...

Thoughts seem to be moving forward in a quagmire, and the further they go, the deeper they sink.Unknowingly, his footsteps became heavy, and all the bad things he encountered since he came to the kingdom reverberated in his mind, making him more unhappy and more depressed.

"..."

Gongsun Ce walked out of the cemetery, feeling at a loss for a moment.At this time, he heard a light "click", like the sound of a pocket watch opening.

He turned his head and saw the beautiful figure wrapped in the blue top, and the medal on the chest was shining brightly.He stared at the medal for a few seconds, and raised his head to realize that the silver-haired knight had just put away his pocket watch and was meeting his gaze.

"It wasn't me, I didn't mean it!" Gongsun Ce suddenly realized how rude he was just now, and hurriedly explained, "You know I'm shorter than you, so my eyes will naturally look over there, this is..."

"I know." Elandia nodded, "What I want to ask is, do you have time to go to the East District with me?"

"Of course." Gongsun Ce said without hesitation, "What case is there?"

·
Violations of the law and discipline happen every day in the Eastern District of Superbia, but the Rider of Dawn did not come here today to investigate the case.She drove Gongsun Ce through the gradually familiar roads in a car, and stopped in front of an old residential building.

There are six floors in this building, built of brown bricks and tiles, and the windows are close together, like matchboxes.The exterior walls of the residential building are mottled, and the green window frames are mostly rusted. The first floor used to be a small shop but it has been closed for a long time. There are various small advertisements on the dirty glass, which can be seen through the overlapping paper gaps Inside was a dusty clearing, all gray.

"This is?"

"My childhood home," Elandia said.
