Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 456 The Illusory Song of the Cyber ​​Ghost (3)

The Sound Curtain City in the Real Sound State is the third largest city in the Northern Continent. From a high altitude, this huge city looks like a regular square, with all the roads dividing the city in an orderly manner.The headquarters of the Kalash family that Gongsun Ce and Qi Luo went to was naturally located in the most developed center, while the other three members wandered around in the "lower right corner" near the airport.

Sevis rubbed a cone and was licking it in a low spirit. The eldest lady couldn't help reminding: "Miss Sevis, isn't it too cool today..."

"Huh? Is there any?"

The female ranger's usual white military uniform is very revealing, and today's new outfit is even more advanced. She is wearing sandals and sports shorts, and the upper body is only boldly wearing a red and blue striped bikini with a small coat , along the way, I gained a lot of attention gifts from male passers-by.

While talking, a drop of melted ice cream dripped from the edge of the cone, just falling on the side of the white gully.Servis was about to reach out to wipe it off, but Qin Qianbai hurriedly handed her a tissue, and the female ranger wiped it off indifferently, and ate half of the cone in one bite: "This place is too depressing, if you don't wear it, be free. Suffocate."

"Exhibitionists are exhibitionists, don't make excuses for your sexual fetishes." Shi Yuling rolled his eyes, "Hezhong art capital is still suppressed?"

"Ah~ You guys really came here today?" Sevis looked weird, "You can just sing a song, who wants to try?"

The girls exchanged glances, and Qin Qianbai volunteered to take over the task of trying.She cleared her throat and sang an episode from an old anime: "A heart chasing after tomorrow's love leaves a fiery trail

Spread love and laughter everywhere..."

puff!puff!
Before the real sound phenomenon officially appeared, several muffled sounds like balloon deflation resounded all around.All the projection screens projected above the street suddenly changed, and the various images faded away, replaced by an orange triangle sign indicating a warning.Immediately afterwards, several gray prosthetic mechas fell from the sky, aiming at the surprised Qin Qianbai with something like a trumpet.A nervous female voice came from the leading mecha: "We are the Police Force of Sound Curtain City. The system has detected unauthorized singing behavior. To avoid misunderstanding, please show your personal audio-visual license!"

Dawn Knight was the first to stand up and explain: "Sorry for the trouble, we are tourists who just arrived today."

The prosthetic police officers who were facing the enemy suddenly relaxed a lot, and the female captain spoke with a sense of blame: "What channel did you enter the city through? Didn't you see the safety precautions?"

Shigure Zero frowned: "Huh? Your airport is full of luxury stores and audio-visual stores, and the screens are full of advertisements. Where are the precautions?"

"Those damned capitalists f*ckingly changed the broadcasting schedule." The female captain cursed in a low voice, "Be careful, you guys know the landscape here, right? It's easy for laymen to sing casually, causing safety hazards, so be careful not to violate the rules. The next time you commit a crime, you will be fined, and if you commit it more than three times, you will be jailed, so as not to make any noise for yourselves.”

The prosthetic cops left annoyed, and Dawn Knight deduced from their reactions that this was a common occurrence.Qin Qianbai was deeply shocked, held back for a while and said, "Wow..."

"See, you don't even have the freedom to speak out without a license!" Sevis said viciously, "I was fined [-] Kerry just yesterday, and the reason for the fine was 'causing excessive noise in a public place' , damn, I will be fined if I catch a robber and shoot him!"

"Is there still an artistic atmosphere in this place?" Shi Yuling was deeply surprised.

"I checked the local reports in the past three months, and the singing accident rate in the Real Sound State suddenly increased about two months ago. Before the sound curtain city was not under martial law, this should be the local government's measures to protect the safety of residents. Emergency measures." Dawn Knight explained, "Miss Shigure asked a good question, how do local artists practice their songs?"

"If your home is full of protective force fields, then you can close the door and sing freely at home, or you can pay a high price to rent a special practice room and pay by the hour." Sevis ate the ice cream in two or three mouthfuls, and took the lead to walk away , "There are more civilian options, follow me."

Sevis got on the bus and took a group of people to the bustling area of ​​the city. Elandia noticed that she didn't look at the map when choosing the route, obviously she was very familiar with the city's topography.

"Miss Sevis, do you often come to Sound Curtain City?"

"No, the last time I came was a few years ago." Ranger scratched his chin, very uncertain, "Traveling here in the past two days to pick up a few errand tasks, I naturally took note of the terrain. "

"Your memory is quite good..." Shi Yuling looked sideways.The female ranger looked proud: "That's right, I'm not a benchmark in the industry if I don't have this ability!"

Sevis said it easily, but Shigure Rei knew how difficult it was.The size of the Sound Curtain City is no less than that of Superbia, the capital of the kingdom. Even though she was very intelligent as a manifester back then, she only memorized the terrain of the inner city and the places she frequently visited for missions when she was a hunter. When I arrived in unfamiliar suburbs and residential areas, I was still blind.

Sevis didn't spend more time in Sound Curtain City than they did. Can a ranger memorize the city's topography in this little time?Even with the elites of the Impermanence Association as the standard, this memory is ridiculously good, not like a person who often forgets things.

Shi Yuling thought of the other party's strange "longevity" state and Jago's entrustment, and decided not to say anything that stimulated the other party.A group of people took the bus with You Xia for about 20 minutes, and came to a large building that looked like a stadium.There are many young people with musical instruments gathered around the front of the building, most of them looked depressed, and an angry girl shouted loudly at the door: "I made an appointment a month in advance, why don't you let me in!!"

The gatekeeper was a middle-aged man with a big belly, with an impatient look on his face: "Since last week, Sound Curtain City has implemented new regulations. Without a professional certificate of level 4 or above, you cannot enter the public practice place. Your license level is not enough, go to the level test .”

"The registration fee for one test is [-] Kerry, and I'll test your X*&%!" The girl cursed angrily.The middle-aged man squinted and reminded: "Control the volume, if you make it louder, you will be fined."

"If you don't let it go, don't let it go. At worst, I will go to the church to practice!"

The girl suppressed her voice aggrieved, and angrily led the band members away.Sevis was amazed, and said to them: "Here, the current situation of the Sound Curtain City. If you have a certificate, you need to make an appointment to play. The low-level certificate is not yet available. The higher the grade of the exam, the more you pay, and the exam is very sad. .”

"What about the church?" Qin Qianbai asked.

"The church has a safe and cheap protective force field. The problem is that the church doesn't have so much free space and funds for lovers to study art, so if you want to go to the church, you have to wait in line..."

Qin Qianbai looked along Servis' fingertips, and saw a long line coming from the corner of the next intersection, and the girl and her companions were at the end of the line.Vivid promotional images were displayed on the projection screen by the roadside, but there was no sound.

"Another thriving local art is pantomime," said Ranger with a stern face.

Looking at this colorful metropolis and the silent people in it, Qin Qianbai suddenly felt a heavy and gloomy gray covering his vision.The oppressive atmosphere is like the sky before the rainy day, and the people on the ground can't interfere with it, but let it bring bad mood to everyone.

Jin Kalash brought Gongsun Ce to his private office. Before entering the door, a female staff member just turned her back to them and walked away. Her wavy long hair made Gongsun Ce feel a little familiar.

Gongsun Ce entered the office, sat down on the leather chair, and said first, "Mr. Jin, I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Jin seemed to find it very interesting: "Mr. Gongsun, in the eyes of us bystanders, the purpose of your trip is surprisingly clear. You have never concealed your purpose since you set off, so what is there to hide now?"

Gongsun Ce was a little puzzled by the implication of something in Jin's words, thinking that the old man's expression would almost say "I know you know that big secret", but the problem is that he really doesn't know the deep inside story.It’s not easy for him to tell people that in fact, three of the five people in our boat are coming to Hezhong for the first time, and I don’t even know anything about the history of Hezhong that I read all of your sacred scriptures on the first night when I came here.If you really want to say that, it's a trivial matter to blow up the negotiation, and not getting more information is the big problem.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce's face was calm and composed, and he only put on a mysterious smile: "I would like to hear Mr. Jin's opinion."

"I don't mind being an honest person once." Jin propped up his chin with both hands, and looked at the expression on Gongsun Ce's face with shrewd old eyes under the glasses, "Your first stop is the Magneto State, where you will go straight as soon as you land. Found her; you followed her tracks until the second 'encounter' in the Wooden State; and then the State of Blade Rain, and the third encounter made you fight side by side and build a friendship; Your ranger came to the State of Real Sound, and your spaceship immediately arrived at the City of Sound Curtain—the plan to investigate Gaius is just a cover on the bright side, and your real purpose is not to be with this man hidden in the dark side of history. Do the immortals come into contact, Mr. Gongsun?"

"Oh..." Gongsun Ce smiled inscrutably, feeling even more absurd in his heart.

Jin's skepticism was reasonable, but only the crew knew that the Venus Star's voyage had no plan at all: their destinations were all chosen by dice dice from those two idiots in Cangdu.There is no such thing as a big secret big plan, it’s just a headless fly flying around and happened to draw a treasure map, if Jago hadn’t explained last time that they couldn’t even detect the peculiarity of Sevis, it was just a coincidence I have only encountered many times...

……accidental?
wrong!Gongsun Ce suddenly woke up.How could it be by chance?The Northern Continent is an incomparably vast land, and the distance between the State of Splendid Magnetism and the State of Blade Rain is enough to fill a half-zero island.Even if Sevis was on the saint's pilgrimage like them, they shouldn't have met so many times in a short period of time.

There is nothing wrong with Jin's statement. Aside from the treatment time spent driving and changing the route to the Cold Steel State for the peace talks, they were traveling in pursuit of the ranger Sevis.The Venus Star even met Sevis' initiative to visit on the first day when it came to Hezhong, but before today they didn't feel any sense of disobedience... No one raised any doubts!
The more Gongsun Ce thought about it, the more chills he felt in his heart, not only because he had discovered the "obstacle" in his mind, but also because this technique of disrupting the audiovisual was so familiar that it made people panic.The thought in his heart was only for a moment, and the real Gongsun Ce just let out a meaningful "oh", he slightly restrained his smile, and said seriously: "I didn't expect you to 'discover' her... I thought the Kalash family There will be an advantage in that regard.”

A gleam of joy flashed in Jin's eyes, and Gongsun Ce did not ignore this detail.

"The power of the totem is too far behind the monarch dragon. We can never catch up with the eyes of the Nether Dragon. But as you can imagine, we left a little more information by relying on the voice... It can only be interpreted by the family Information." Jin Zhengse said, "I think you need this information, and correspondingly, I want to know her hiding mechanism, or other secrets you have learned."

Obviously, Jin thought he was able to track Sevis with the Nether Eye, and it was no secret that Zero Island rescued the Hidden Gods beforehand.

Gongsun Ce was thinking about the solution when he suddenly frowned.He knocked heavily on the table and said coldly: "It seems that your family has no sincerity towards us."

A few minutes ago, North Continent Real Sound Media Company, 45th floor.

If it wasn't for the regular flashing reminders on the corridor wall, Qi Luo would have thought that he had come to the green space outside the building.The whole floor space is covered by dense green plants, and the air is as fresh as the forest after the rain in the Living Mountain State. Looking around, there are only rare and rare grasses, and a beautiful appearance of colorful flowers.Ariel led her to sit down in the gazebo in the middle of the garden, and Qiluo noticed that the tables, chairs and teacups here had a familiar texture.

"What exquisite wooden furniture."

"I like the natural and fresh taste of wooden equipment. Whenever the Dadalyon family launches new products, they will send me a set."

Ariel sat down on a high stool, her figure was already slender, this high stool made Qi Luo raise her eyes slightly.The purple-haired actress blinked her eyes when she spoke, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, making her pupils even more breathtaking.Qi Luo always had some small feelings of comparison, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when she saw this. She was a female star from a big family, and she could fascinate people's hearts in the blink of an eye.

"Sorry, I forgot that you are from the capital of the sky. Maybe you prefer bars or dance halls? There are similar facilities on the 34th floor."

Ariel's words awakened her from worrying about gains and losses, and Qi Luo hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, it's very good here! I was thinking that I should bring a CD so I can get you to sign it."

"You're so funny." Ariel smiled slightly, "We're likely to become enemies, aren't we? Maybe Mr. Gongsun and my father will announce the failure of the negotiation in a short time. What are you doing with the signature of the enemy?"

"The hostility in terms of positions does not hinder the artistic vision." Qi Luo looked serious, "Even in the era of the secret war ten years ago, people in the empire would still listen to the ballads of the common people."

"Haha... I understand why you are so popular, you are really a lovely girl." Ariel leaned forward, getting close to Qi Luola, "I remember you officially debuted four years ago, Miss Qi Jingxuan ?”

Qi Luo was startled, she didn't expect that the person she met for the first time would suddenly say her real name.The girl panicked for a moment: "Why would you..."

"Name? A stage name is a name for fans to hear. Why do you bring it into your life?" Ariel said, "I'm not supernatural enough to know the real name of every singer. I know this name because I I've been following you."

"Ah!" Qi Luo was very pleasantly surprised, "Have you heard my song?"

"From the debut album "Stars" to the release of "Qi Luo" at the end of March, I have listened to every song of yours." Ariel looked at her with a smile, "Every time I listen to you sing, I love you I felt a wave of genuine admiration.”

Looking at those beautiful pupils, Qi Luo suddenly felt a chill in her heart.The purple-haired woman looked friendly, but she felt that she was looking at a beautiful cheetah. The leopard was lazily lying on the stone, but its eyes were fixed on the prey, waiting for the best time to leap out and devour the weak flesh and blood.She subconsciously felt that she shouldn't continue this topic, so she hurriedly said: "I think—"

Before Qi Luo could finish speaking, the woman's next words made her feel chills all over.

"What I admire most is that Your Excellency has the courage to publish such a clumsy and ugly melody, and shamelessly call himself a singer."
