Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 369 The Countdown to the End
Gongsun Ce quickly followed the knight out of the headquarters, tension and anxiety spreading in his heart.His gut told him something was going to happen, but he didn't know it.Randomly picking five ordinary people to attack in a city of 2000 million people, how can this be prevented?

"I hope everything is still in time..."

They greeted their colleagues, hurried out of the headquarters, and drove to the East District.Their car stopped after driving for a while, and the bridge connecting the eastern district and the inner city was completely blocked.Gongsun Ce poked his head out from the skylight on the roof of the car, and saw a large group of people crowded in the middle of the bridge, holding wooden signs full of slogans, shouting angrily towards the area on the other side of the river.

"...Parade and demonstration." Gongsun Ce's face was ashen, "Why is it at such a time?"

"Do nothing!" "The descendants of the murderer get out of the capital!" "We oppose the new security regulations!!" "Who will stop the murderer!!"

Holding sticks and glass bottles, people holding up various slogans crowded on the motorway, and the crowded crowd blocked the bridge to the East District.Horns and yells kept ringing, and angry people and car owners insulted each other.The traffic police who came to maintain order failed and were pushed aside by the marchers instead.People in gray and black clothes squeezed through the gaps between cars and headed towards the inner city. From a distance, it looked like a muddy mud flow crossed the glacier and rushed towards the white city.

Gongsun Ce parked the car on the side of the road and flew directly across the bridge with Ailandia.The two observed the situation in the air, communicating and thinking rapidly.

"Elandia, do you want to reveal your identity?" "It's no good, my rash appearance will only arouse resistance." "Ah, yes, I will question you about the murder case...Damn it!" Gongsun Ce scolded With a sound, he quickly swept across the crowd with telekinetic power, observing everyone's appearance.

"...I didn't find the instigator." He reported hesitantly. "There are no lethal weapons, no hidden impermanence, no traces of interference..." Elandia made a judgment, "It is the spontaneous action of the people."

They landed in the East End and rushed to the police station near the latest homicide.

"Elandia, is this just a coincidence?" "Maybe, but we should be prepared."

Elandia made a crystal ball-like weapon, and issued an order in an unprecedentedly serious tone: "I am the second seat of the Starlight Conference, Dawn Knight Elandia Helaisen. Notify all members of the headquarters, from now on Entering a state of emergency preparations, all star knights are requested to go to the bell towers in their respective jurisdictions as planned. The central command contacted the Mage Academy and reported to the royal family, and properly dealt with the parade in the eastern district as quickly as possible. All members above the manifestation level must pay attention to their own defense , be alert to the surprise attack of the Lord of the Yin Law."

"Got it, Dawn Knight." Raquel's voice came from the ball, "How does your jurisdiction handle it?"

"I'm tracking down the enemy's trail in the Eastern District, please ask Mr. Mo Yuankai to defend temporarily."

The conversation ended quickly, and the elite team of the capital began to act as quickly as possible after the order of the World Creation Envoy.Gongsun Ce was surprised by the knight's quick judgment, and he couldn't help asking, "Should we still investigate this case?"

"Check. There was also a world-creating law envoy who escaped from the battle that day. This incident is likely to be his handiwork. Whether it is manipulating civilians to commit crimes or subordinates of the troupe, we can take this opportunity to collect enough information."

"Ah, find that person!"

The Dawn Knight was much faster than the vehicle, and Elandia brought him to the police headquarters in the East District almost in the blink of an eye.Greetings were done on the road, and they hurriedly revealed their identities and went to the autopsy under the leadership of the police officer.The real chaos hasn't happened yet, maybe it's still too late...

·
【Elandia Helaisen is the unparalleled knight of the dawn, a resourceful and famous detective.No one is her opponent on the frontal battlefield, and no cunning prisoner can escape her capture.

However, no one is perfect, and there are always limits to the roles a person can play.The "knight" who protects the civilians cannot respond to the protests of the citizens, because the knight cannot draw a knife on the civilians; the "detective" who detects the case cannot prevent the occurrence of the case, because the detective always arrives late after everything is over. 】

Roningrus Ricklu walked in the hall of the museum, using living magic to activate the cultural relics enshrined in people's hearts.The urgent warning notice made the old mage feel particularly bad.

"Hyde! Where are you going now?!"

"Yes, yes!" The elusive apprentice jumped down from the second floor, "What's the matter, old man?"

"An announcement came from the Knights, and we are now entering a state of full alert." Luo Ninglusi said solemnly, "Move out all the old things in the warehouse."

"The archetype's mind arm?" Keriki raised his eyebrows. "Those things are not only inefficient but also deadly. They're unnecessary, right? Who needs them except the Dawn Knight's research."

The prototype of the mind arm is the method used by the people on this island to protect themselves before the law of impermanence was introduced into the kingdom.Replace aura with vitality as the power to activate the armed forces, and rely on self-sacrifice to protect the homeland's last trump card.These ancient armaments have long been abolished due to their inefficiency, and only a small amount remain in the museum, but now Luo Ninglusi wants to take them out again.

"It's not necessary for us," said the old mage, "and if the decisive battle fails...the surviving civilians need the power of the old thing."

Always consider the result of defeat. In case the impermanence of the capital is completely dead, the survivors can at least have something to protect their families.

"Understood." Keriki nodded, "Old man, I'll find someone to do things for you. I have to go back to the palace when it's critical."

"...Okay, let's go."

The mage's apprentice, Ke Liji Hyde, is also a secret agent serving the royal family, and the old mage knows it well.Some people who work in secret must be put on the bright side, so that people in high positions can feel at ease.He has always understood the truth, but in daily life, he has long been used to the other party running back and forth, and the old mage still feels a little sentimental when he hears the apprentice speak so bluntly.

After all, she was promoted from the bottom by the royal family.The kindness of knowing you and the teacher you meet later are not the same concept.

Creeky walked behind the old man, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, old man, you know who I am. Don't be too sad..."

·
East District, Honeysuckle Street Police Station.

The morgue was full of stench and stench, and the miserable condition of the disembowelled corpse made the experienced police officer turn green.However, there was no difference between the detective and the assistant. Ailandia was flipping through the autopsy report page by page, and Gongsun Ce put together the broken corpses with his thoughts.

"There are 5 victims, three men and two women. The first victim is a homeless person, the second is a sex worker, the third is a priest, the fourth is a courier, and the fifth is a housewife... I can't tell The victims have something in common, like indiscriminate killing..." Gongsun Ce carefully observed the cut marks on the corpse, "Multiple parts were cut off with a single knife, and there were no repeated cuts. arms?"

"Heavy weapons will seriously damage the corpse, and it is more likely to be a short knife that is carried with you." Elandia said, "The murderer is agile and skilled in martial arts. Such a person can cut off a human body with a knife. Ce, the first Bring the body."

Gongsun Ce did as he said, and with a flash of white light in the hands of the Dawn Knight, he wrapped a few dirty coats and a cotton cap on the drunkard's body.She read the conclusion of the autopsy report: "The cutting speed is extremely fast, and the sequence cannot be determined. It is speculated that the deceased's right arm, forearm, and right hand were cut into three sections first...Why did the prisoner cut the knife from the arm first?"

"There is little logic to this kind of pleasure, and it's probably just because of convenience."

Gongsun Ce pulled up the corpse's right hand with telekinesis: "Just like this, he stretched out his hand..."

"Go get a man standing in front of him."

Elandia made a rough human form out of white matter and stood in front of the corpse.The corpse's right hand reached up, and Elandia fine-tuned the details of the figure until the corpse's stiff finger movements matched the outline of the figure.

"A drunken, rude vagabond. According to the file, there are tattered pornographic magazines in the shed where he lives. Such a person will not have such an intimate interest in men." Gongsun Ce murmured, "So very Probably a woman, pretty-looking..."

"Tall, not elegantly dressed, and good at using short daggers. She always commits crimes at night, maybe because she is busy with work during the day..."

The white human figure became more and more detailed with the addition of details. Gongsun Ce looked at the outline of the human figure and felt an uncomfortable sense of familiarity.He seems to have seen such a person, a woman who is agile, busy with work, and walks alone at night is not surprising... good at using short daggers...

"Elandia." Fragments of daily life flashed in his mind, and he recalled the details of communicating with someone, his voice trembling unconsciously, "I remember that Keriki has a jackknife."

A light flashed on the white human figure, and the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle came together, allowing Elandia's impermanence to reveal the truth.

If Hyde.If it is her.So, right now, the most dangerous person is...

"—Oops, Rhoninglus!!"

·
"...It's all over in one night's sleep."

A gray silk thread penetrated Luo Ninglusi's celestial spirit cover and sank into his brain.

The old mage's eyes widened.The gray line has no entity and cannot cause physical damage.The threads came from Cliki's hands... No, there were other threads, threads that got into the body at some point... Where did those threads come from...!
"you……"

speechless.Thinking gradually becomes dull.No, was it sluggish before that.Why didn't you notice it.What about the spell of protection?Armed with heart.Since receiving the alert, he has been on full alert.He couldn't possibly fall for such a crude sneak attack.Exactly... when... was the trick in...

Creeky's body suddenly blurred, disappeared like mist, and flashed again and again in the hall.Some kind of invisible attack clung to her like a ghost, and the buildings and cultural relics moved like living things, launching an all-round snipe at her.The means left by the old mage were activated automatically at this moment, and Creeky Hyde was cornered.One moment before the living spirit would shatter her body, one moment before the power of resurgence would pluck her spirit.

But in the end, the old man missed the game.His attack was disarmed by himself before it succeeded.Loningrus Riklu mechanically froze in place, like a living puppet.

"Almost got killed~" Ke Liji patted his flat chest, "Careful old man, after being plotted for so long, he still has energy to spare. Who are you trying to catch with this automatic triggering trap?"

She walked up to the puppet, lowered her head in a wicked manner, and said, "The show is about to begin, and the Dust Cult wishes to greet you."

·
【Roningrus Ricklu is a knowledgeable and talented reanimation mage, and also an old man with a eccentric personality.He is cautious because of his pessimism, always considers the worst situation, and he is almost infallible due to his suspicious nature.

However, the lonely "old man" who has never been married all his life always yearns for family affection.The expectations and trust he had in the young people made him reveal flaws that shouldn't exist in front of those close to him...

We can no longer blame him.After all, young people are always the nemesis of "old people"! 】

Queen Anne was walking towards the bell tower in the palace, and she felt uneasy.She always feels that she has forgotten something, and now she is in a state of emergency preparations, she should go to her place...go to the clock tower to meet McCollow...but it seems that there is still something that should be done, that is...

"……what!"

heir to the kingdom.To prepare for the worst, the royal family members must be sent out of the royal city first.Three children, and Aurelian... no, Aurelian is gone... already gone...

However, is it because of longing for too long?The vision in her head seemed to come true, and she really saw her dead husband in reality.He was standing on the path in the garden, waving to her cheerfully, just like the summer they met.

"Aurelian?" Anne called softly, "Why did you come here? The king is very dangerous, take the children away..."

Aurelian did not answer, but came with a smile.He looks almost exactly the same as when he was young...almost exactly the same...almost...but how can the same people look different?
As he approached, the queen finally saw clearly that it was not Aurelian, but Charles, her most beloved son.A thread grew in Charlie's hand, and the thread sank into her brain.

"what……"

Charlie's mouth moved mechanically, and the man who had been tampered with could only speak out the lines he had designed: "The Cult of Dust sends you greetings."

The protection technique prepared in advance was activated, and a light golden beam penetrated Charlie Morton's heart.Before he died, Charlie reached out and put a glass bead in his mother's hand.

Charlie's consciousness seemed to recover for a moment before he died, his pupils narrowed for a moment, and his mouth opened in disbelief.Do you want to say something?But it was too late.Then Charlie Morton died, the man who was manipulated to assassinate his mother, and then killed by his mother, had time to shed a tear before he died or even in the future.

And Queen Anne had already lost consciousness, her consciousness sank into the darkness.She walked into the bell tower in the palace, walked into the center of the entire Shadow Mist enchantment system, and activated the emergency plan with her own authority.

She threw the "glass beads" and embedded the pupils of the Nether Dragon into the core center of the Shadow Mist Barrier.

Then the bells of St. Morton's Great Clock Tower rang.

As a result, fog filled the streets.

As a result, the residents of the whole city were panicked, their fears had become solid, and on this night when there were constant conflicts in the city...

Under the resonance of the pupil of the nether world, the enchantment of the Shadow and Mist Capital built on the basis of the spirit prison world ushered in the reversal of the surface and the inside.

·
[Albion Anne Morton was once a talented monarch, but now is just an old woman in her twilight years.A "mother" who loves her eldest son will put down her guard in front of her children, and a "widow" who misses her deceased husband will eventually be hurt by love. 】

"I can't get in touch with Luo Ninglusi." Gongsun Ce's face turned pale.

"The royal palace has also lost contact." Elandia dragged him up without any explanation, "Let's meet up with Mo Yuankai..."

Her footsteps suddenly slowed down, and they all heard the bell ringing, but it was clear that it was not time to tell the time yet.Gongsun Ce noticed that there was fog in the air, like the fog on the day of a duel.In the blink of an eye, the fog became so thick that you couldn't see your fingers, but the surrounding environment didn't change, there was only thick fog, only thick fog...

The footsteps of the Dawn Knight stopped, and Gongsun Ce had never heard her voice so dignified.

"Ce, stay by my side."

A black figure appeared in the white mist, a slightly familiar silhouette.An old man, wearing scorched black armor and gray hair, was tall but tall, walking as usual.Gongsun Ce vaguely recognized the person who came. "No." He repeated in despair, "Don't! Don't!!"

A figure stepped out of the gray mist, wearing holy flame armor and standing in front of them with a long sword.McCullough Wright's eyes were glazed, and he spoke mechanically like a puppet.

"...Lonely Form·Boundary Breaking. Soul Burning Sacred Flame."

The defenders of the Morton Kingdom ignited the beacon of despair at this moment.

【Macro Wright, the firewood knight, a self-sacrificing "hero". "Heroes" and the evil party complement each other, and when the overthrown "dragons" step down, there is no need for the upright to survive.Therefore, the "hero" who defended the kingdom burned himself out in the final battle. 】
