Superpowers of Sky City

Late night, White Rock District, Pandil Bar.

At the open-air table outside the bar, foreign guests are talking on their mobile phones.The waiter brother brought the third glass of beer and left quietly.

There are few foreigners in this area, let alone tourists.It's so late at night, maybe this man in black has nowhere to go?

Thinking of this, the waiter looked into the bar, where drunk men and women hugged to keep warm, and the stained glass windows were full of crying and sobbing.There are many people who have nowhere to go, and this man is no exception.In short, I am lucky, the bar is still there, the job is still there, and life can go on.

The waiter left, Yan Qi grabbed the wine glass, drank nearly half a liter of beer in one go, and wiped his mouth.The old friend on the other end of the phone sighed: "I still have the mind to drink."

"Why, I still have to cry and howl?" Yan Qi sneered, "It's not the first time, manpower is always exhausted."

"Master Yan is open-minded, I'm afraid most people are not as open-minded as you." Old Liu said sadly, "How much has the king cultivated?"

"We built them houses enough for the whole city to live in, and rebuilt the rest by ourselves."

Yan Qi put down his wine glass, observed the deformed street through the thick glass, and said in a flat tone: "People need hope to live, and people need motivation to live. Rebuilding a home is a necessary process. A broken house is easy to paint, and the heart is gone. It can’t be made up.”

"You're right." Old Liu said, "But you know what? If I were a commoner, I wish you could paint the house and car one by one. I'd rather spend my whole life in a perfect house than new Stand up again and go to fight for reconstruction. Master Yan, you are such a grown-up, you have to force people to stand up again. His grandma!"

Yan Qi drank his beer, smashed the glass on the table, and laughed loudly: "Ha! Seeing the road is uneven, do you think you didn't help enough? It's a pity that I am not the Holy King Morton, not the Knight of the Dawn, and I am not Mao who wants to be a hero. Head boy. If you want to worship God, go to Konghua Realm and stay there, you are not much happier than the shitty world!"

"Yeah..." Liu Zhongwu on the other end of the phone was in a mixed mood, "The old building has finally collapsed, but fortunately the foundation is still there. Whether it is to sweep away the accumulated evils and make it stand or not, or whether it will be poor at the end of the day and plummet, it is their own business."

"Two foreigners are fucking idle." Yan Qi raised his hand, "Have another glass of cold beer!"

The waiter brought another large glass of beer, and took away the empty glasses that were neatly stacked on the table.Yan Qi drank beer slowly, and listened to his old friend chattering: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold... Do you think Situ Yi is really dead?"

"Is the pinnacle of the creation world so easy to kill? Not to mention [-]%, [-]% are not dead!"

Yan Qi answered firmly, but his attitude was completely different from when he was talking to superpowers.

"..."

Old Liu Moran said after a while: "Your Majesty didn't use the power of Brahma to define boundaries."

"The emperor did the right thing. The Nether Dragon died, and Situ Yi broke through. The two irreversible nodes are too close together. No matter how hard you toss, you can only go back to the moment when he just broke through. At that time, Situ Yi must be the first to react. If I... do it again, the ending may not be better."

"We are powerless after all."

"I knew something six years ago, what are you still talking about now?"

"If he could really let go easily, how could Situ Yi be as crazy as he is now?" Liu Zhongwu smiled wryly, "Don't talk about frustration! Speaking of something else, that dragon species has become the new sword master, and all parties will never let it go. Not to mention uniting the crowd, I am afraid that many of the Kingdom's own people will not agree."

Yan Qi raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Liu Zhongwu answered slowly: "In my opinion... a newcomer needs to be convinced if he wants to be in the top position. Those who support him must see the confidence worthy of support, and those who oppose him must see the reason why they dare not make a move."

"That's true." Yan Qi said with a smile, "So I won't go, and you can settle it yourself. What should happen."

"So confident?"

Yan Qi drank the last glass of beer, got up from the table, and walked into the night.His voice came with the night wind, and faded away in the streets of Wangdu.

"I have no confidence in someone I just met. All I know is that the Knight of Dawn will never let a good-for-nothing inherit her aura...

Wuxiang will never lose in the hands of a lucky guy. "

·
In the end, the people who dealt with the aftermath also left, and the drama staged in the capital really came to an end.

People come with their desires and aspirations, and leave with different regrets and loneliness.On stage and off stage, inside and outside, it seems that there is no real "winner". Everyone loses more than they gain. heart.

And the movement of the world will not be changed by people's thoughts. The sun will rise as usual after the night falls, and the time will pass as usual after the miracle disappears.Soon the last month of winter passed, and the kingdoms of the southern hemisphere ushered in spring.A new visitor stepped into the land of the king's capital with a mountaineering bag on his back, with a dusty look and a calm expression.He walked alone on the streets of the East District, looking at the surrounding buildings and pedestrians, and looking at the expressions in people's eyes.That look reminded him of the last city that suffered a dragon disaster, and his hometown.

"Another sad city." Xu Junyi said with emotion, "If the Glazed Dragon could really come into the world, it wouldn't have such a bleak ending... It's the stupidity of human beings that made all of this."

There was a great being in his heart who laughed and said different opinions.

"Will you sing praises for their courage?" Xu Junyi shook his head, "My lord, forgive me for being ignorant, I don't understand your thoughts. If there is no hope at the end of bravery, what's the point of fighting foolishly? ... I don't want to go See? After all, I can only see the facts at the moment..."

The man looked focused as if talking to a close friend, but there was no one beside him, like a lunatic who had already gone mad.The man longing for the miracle of the gods hides among the crowd. In his backpack is the Nether Eye found under the guidance of a great existence. He wants to find his companions in the city, because he knows what the coming of the gods will bring. s consequence.

Months after the kingdom crumbled, human fragility was once again on display.Due to the chaotic situation for quite a long period of time, the large-scale impact after the dragon came could not be rescued in time.The collapsed people went crazy under the influence of the dragon phenomenon, and the capital became a gathering place for dragon worshipers.

After the collapse of the capital, the influence of the spirit prison world faded away, and there were no phantoms on the island anymore.But the glazed dragon is not dead, and the influence of the Konghua world is still there.The incidents created by the vicious law are endless, and the accidents caused by the phenomenon of animalization are also increasing. It can be said that there is a wave of unrest and another wave. The haze created by the dragon has not dissipated, and new fears are spreading in the capital. ...

But in the end, the weak and sad will rise when their tears dry up.

Many people died, but more people survived. The reason why they stood up again was not only the motivation to rebuild their homes, but also the miracle that people witnessed that night.That is the giant who fought against the Nether Dragon, the sword light that fought fiercely with the Glazed Dragon, and rushed to the battlefield like a shooting star, which belonged to the courage of mortals.

The kingdom's officials have a set of rigorous explanations that conform to common sense for the various phenomena that night, but the people of the capital have another set of opinions in their hearts.The existence of supernatural powers has gradually become an open secret. During the employment period at the end of the year, people rushed to go to the Knights, to museums, and to sign up for certain unpopular official institutions.Official organizations that have been severely damaged by battles have absorbed a large number of fresh blood even though they strictly abide by the standards.The difference in identity and family background seems to never exist at this moment, and enthusiastic young people from all walks of life have quietly changed the ancient institution.

In the action of hunting dragon worshipers and longing beasts, the folk hunters performed well, which made them come into the sight of the high-level knights.In order to cope with the situation in a special period and quickly replenish the combat power of the Knights, the Seventh Knight Orianna decided to recruit neutral hunters to serve as officials.This emergency team became the prototype of the Wild Hunt, and it also made Orianna Carvan the first Seventh Knight ever to have subordinates.The hunters in black made quite a few of the older knights uncomfortable, but many were okay with it—it reminded them of the Knights of the Dawn's former entourage, and they felt sympathetic.

At the end of the year, the long-dormant Knight of Dawn finally woke up from his weakness, and the news greatly boosted the hearts of the people.Therefore, people spontaneously held a celebration, which was the first celebration after the disaster. It not only celebrated the return of a knight, but also celebrated that people successfully survived the difficult second half of the year.

Then, time continued to pass, the damaged buildings were rebuilt, and the damaged blocks were re-planned.A year later, Superbia has almost no trace of the damage. Newer and stronger houses have been built here, but the traditional blue-roofed and white houses are still there.The architects of the royal capital used excellent planning to make the two sides coexist harmoniously, heralding a new atmosphere after the disaster.

During the commemoration ceremony for the first anniversary of the collapse of the kingdom, a monument was erected in the inner city to commemorate those who died a year ago.At the same time, two bronze statues were completed in the newly built "Remembering Square" this year.The bronze statue refers to the memory and dictation of many people, and tries to reproduce the vague image in people's minds as much as possible-the hero who stood up that night and fought against the evil dragon.

Few people mention the words "child of the devil", "child of the curse" and so on.Teenagers with supernatural powers are now called "superhumans" with very different sensibilities.

Another two years passed.

After waking up, the Knight of Dawn lost her previous strength, but she still went to investigate cases, promote justice, and pursue the truth.She will also investigate the records of the kingdom's collapse, like a police officer looking through the yellowing old cases in the file cabinet.She would occasionally fall into an irregular deep sleep after waking up, and no one knew why.

She watches animations during her spare time at work, occasionally tries video games, and jots down her thoughts.She never asked about the current situation of her followers back then, and when her colleagues asked curiously, she just smiled.

The Seventh Knight gradually adapted to her new identity and power. She was overwhelmed by her daily work, and when she was almost overwhelmed, she secretly contacted her boyfriend far away to complain.She still lives with Elandia, because she knows that her old friend is not as strong as she used to be, and she has to keep him safe.

Occasionally, when she signs a document, she feels that she is not so pure. Now she may be rejected by the holy sword of the year, but her colleagues will always tell her that you think too much, and you are not much different from then.

The capital of the kingdom has regained its appearance as an international metropolis, with old people leaving every day...

New people come every day.

"Jingle bell bell bell!"

At 6:30 in the morning, the sound of the alarm clock echoed in the small bedroom.A trembling hand protruded from the thin quilt, and slammed it at the alarm clock like beating an enemy.The alarm clock made of special materials deflated like rubber, bounced back onto the bed, and continued to scream happily, until someone in the thin quilt got up with a mess of hair, and pressed the hidden switch with a sullen face.

Alice Adar stared at the alarm clock for about ten seconds, her tone full of despair.

"I must be out of my mind to buy this thing with last month's wages..."

She got out of bed with her messy hair, and staggered into the bathroom.A listless blue-haired girl was reflected in the mirror, and the small sticker next to the mirror was written with her words of encouragement: "Eat and drink once a week without worrying about eating and drinking, step into a well-off life with two orders a week, and soar to prosperity on three days a week!"

"Once a week, my back hurts, and twice a week, I'm dying..." Alice murmured like a zombie, "Three times a week, I'm a walking dead... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

She patted her face vigorously, and completed the necessary procedures in the bathroom before going out.When she went out, she had turned into that bright and agile huntress, wearing a hunting suit with short arrows on her waist, tall and tall, with long legs and a good face, and she had long blue hair reaching her waist. A sassy woman with a rate of 90.00%.

The urban hunter's gestures showed the unique chicness of an expert. She went downstairs chicly, went to the garage chicly, and sat in her exclusive car to the headquarters of the Knights.Her return rate is close to 100% at this moment, and people are looking at this sassy huntress with long blue hair reaching her waist... and her [-]% new and second-hand bicycle.

(I will buy a car next month! At least buying a horse is better than this!!)
Alice remained calm on the surface, but screamed loudly in her heart.Fortunately, the apartment is not far from the headquarters, and she will be able to reach her destination soon.The bicycle crossed the Memorial Square halfway in order to take a shortcut. The sun shone brightly on the surfaces of the two bronze statues, causing Alice to squint her eyes.

It is said that this bronze statue was built to commemorate the heroes who stood up when the kingdom collapsed, but no matter how Alice looked at it, she felt that the designer had mixed a certain degree of personal hobbies... That super-large iron-canned long-haired robot is simply It came out of Zero Island animation!Another statue of a student boy with glasses looks like a newbie ninja who suffered from chuunikuniosis. What kind of hero would dress up like this!

The old citizens passing by the bronze statue look natural, and parents and elders often bring their children here for ideological and moral education.Miss Hunter deeply felt that she was still far from integrating into the capital, and she might still lack a little local common sense.

She rode into the headquarters, parked her bicycle (the headquarters of the knight order has a special bicycle shed, it is said that because many knights rode to work for a while), she went to the cafeteria to check in and asked for a breakfast for employee benefits.Today's meal is hash browns, black pudding, fried eggs, sausages and crispy bacon. A full plate is one of the few essences of kingdom cuisine... It's just that the drinks that come with the meal are a little unconventional.

Alice picked up the cup full of brown drink: "Ma'am, I've wanted to ask this question for a long time. Why is there pearl milk tea in the historic cafeteria of our Knights headquarters?"

The aunt in the canteen said cheerfully: "In the past, the canteen made a special menu for entertaining distinguished guests, and some of the dishes were well received, so they stayed permanently at the suggestion of the knights."

Alice looked at the stewed pork rice, fried pork liver, and tangerine skin bones on the menu, and said firmly, "I guess it's a guest from the Empire?"

"Oh, the relevant information is confidential... But I can tell you that he is a very handsome gentleman, as glamorous as the knight Raquel!" The cafeteria aunt looked like a nympho.

Alice curled her lips, quickly finished her breakfast in the cafeteria, and walked to the Wild Hunt's office.The magnificent headquarters building and the newly built gray building are connected by the corridors on the second and third floors, which is convenient for the Seventh Knight to visit her troops after work.There were whispers among the hunters and knights coming and going.

"Look, that's Ms. Aida, who has recently emerged..." "I heard that she can complete seven orders a week." "It's too scary, Iron Man?!" "Even so, she still rides a bicycle to work..." "Such a noble and honest hunter is really a role model for my generation."

Gao Jie, what a ghost, my wife is saving up to buy a house!Alice roared in her heart.Don't mistake poorness for a noble quality, you chivalrous idiots!

She walked into the office quickly, took out a stack of reports, and knocked on the counter where the task was delivered. "Phyllis, hand in the task." "Here we come, please wait a moment!"

Behind the counter, a young man of the age of a high school student hurried out, wearing the blue overalls of the Knights Order and a newsboy cap on his head.After carefully reading the report, Phyllis gave her the stamp of "Complete", and said briskly: "That's amazing, Ms. Adar. I think you will be invited to become a full-time employee in a few months."

"I don't want to be a knight!" Alice waved her hands in disgust. "It's so much more fun to be a hunter. Why would you wear armor and make tin cans for that little salary?"

"Everyone can't ask for it..." Phyllis shrugged, "You think, maybe there is a chance to work with the star knights."

I can't wait for those tin cans that show their peak start to be as far away from me as possible.

Alice quickly changed the subject: "Forget it, the idol can get close after just a few glances from a distance. Thank you. If you have any entrustment with quick money, please recommend it to me."

"There is really no commission that suits you today." Phyllis checked the commission list, "Maybe you can consider taking a break today... Ah!"

The young man's face became serious: "I just received an urgent request from the Dragon Worshiper, and it was the application for evaluation and upgrade submitted by the hunter Darwell. He was seriously injured during this mission."

"Long Crazy, the money is coming soon." Alice rubbed her hands expectantly, "Tell me about the situation!"

Most people are worried about safety issues and dare not answer the list of lunatics. Only a strong person like you can say that!Phyllis swallowed the joke, and quickly said: "There are two dragon worshipers who are about to escape from the country, and the few information shows that their destination may be..."

Phyllis' eyes moved to the bottom of the report, and he paused: "The capital of the sky."

"That's crazy." Alice sighed, "I took this order, and the report was handed over to the headquarters. Now it's too late to follow up. I have to prepare for a business trip. Is there any free mind-reading arm?"

"The short arrow master you ordered before gave you a [-]% discount. The workshop is really out of food." Felice begged for mercy, turned around and found a pair of shiny silver handcuffs, "Here are the alloys that the workshop tried. Handcuffs, you need to give you a [-]% discount."

Alice wanted to refuse at first, but then she thought that those scheming dragon worshipers might need to catch someone alive, so she reached out and said, "Buy it! Arrange a schedule quickly, big sister, I'm leaving."

"Okay, please leave it to me. I really envy Miss Adar, who can go to the capital of the sky to do missions~"

Phyllis delivered goods with one hand and worked with the other hand, multitasking and chatting casually at the same time.Alice rolled her eyes: "What is there to envy, the worst city in the world! Think about it, 500 million superpowers are crowded in one city, and the manifestation method used to make a layer of skin fall off if you were not careful. "

"Even so, I still look forward to that city." Phyllis said sincerely.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because, the two people I admire most in my life are people with superpowers."

Phyllis completed the formalities and returned the documents.His eyes looked out the door, as if he was looking at a place far, far away, as if he was looking at the memories of years ago.

"I think their city must be a very nice place!"

Alice was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked back at the sky outside the door.

Today's sky is blue and cloudless, which is a good weather for going out.Under such a sky, the mood of the people in the sky naturally relaxed, which made her travel psychology that had been buried for a long time due to the mission, a little bit of a rare jump.

"The capital of the sky..." Alice said to herself, "Maybe it's a trip worth looking forward to."

The hunter walked out of the Knights headquarters in a happy mood and started a new task.

In 5 hours and 32 minutes, Alice Adar, who is tracking the dragon worshiper, will arrive in the sky capital.

After 12 hours and 15 minutes, Alice will encounter a bespectacled superhuman in the Thorns.

After 12 hours and 25 minutes, Alice will decide to act with her temporarily...

As a result, the gears of fate began to turn again, and a new story began.

It's still about the past, it's still about the dragon, but the stage is no longer a theater in the mist, and the protagonist is no longer a deceitful Taoist in black...

That will be another story about superpowers and impermanence.
