Superpowers of Sky City

Aurus lay in the sewer, looking at the clear sky through the hole in the manhole cover.

The white clouds were as light as escaping smoke, and a few huge white feathers fell from the clear sky.Today's weather is high and the air is clear, which is a good weather for traveling. On the Biochemical Pigeon, there should be men and women in a relaxed mood, discussing how to spend the rest day in the wind.However, all of this has never been related to him. In the past, he had no intention of paying attention to it, but now he is unable to touch it.His eyes were lifeless, as dim as pebbles everywhere on the ground.

A mutated mouse crawled over, looked at him cautiously for a while, and decided to bite his finger.The mouse probably thought Aurus was a dead man, and flinched in surprise when he tasted the hot blood.But Aurus didn't move, he was used to the pain, he had already fallen into numbness.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far to near, mixed with the savage shouts of young people.This time the enemy should find him soon, and after that it will be just another repetition.Aurus's leg was broken, and a person with a broken leg couldn't run away, so he didn't make any more meaningless struggles.The mouse worked hard again, his vision became blurred amidst the sound of gnawing, and fragments of memory jumped out, intermittently like a damaged record player playing an ugly song.

At first he was caught by gangsters at the bottom and locked into a dark factory building.There he was exposed to the city's deepest malice, and saw how brutal thugs deal with their enemies.Aurus screamed, cursed, threatened, begged for mercy, cried, but all to no avail.Everyone was laughing when he died, his body thrown down the drain like a filthy bag of garbage.

Then the "second" experience began, this time Aurus met the leader of a small organization he had used as a pawn.He brought a whole new level of humiliation and pain, using drugs, psychic powers, and all manner of torture.The little character danced with joy because he had the opportunity to humiliate a "big man". He knew that it would not bring him any benefits, but he devoted himself to the work of torturing others, deriving pure pleasure from the violent catharsis.

Aurus still cursed, still wept, and this time he died in the slaughterhouse.Then the third time, the fourth time... He stopped counting after more than twenty times, and he was familiar with the city he had lived in for ten years in the most ironic way.At one point he was depressed like a vagabond, and then he tried to fight back in pain.

On one occasion, Aurus almost succeeded, using the environment and the props at hand to successfully take down a group of thugs.But then he saw a young man in white, who was gentle and refined.It was a new member of the light core, and his torture method opened Aurus's eyes.That kid was still in junior high school, but his methods of harming human beings were as skillful as an old spy from the secret war period.This person was angry that the loss of Aurus made the Light Core lose face. He repeatedly cursed Aurus, who was disqualified, and wanted to execute the useless leader on behalf of the majority.

For the first time in his life, Aurus Ultimis began to reflect on what he had done.Many times he has admitted in hindsight that he was wrong, and this time he knows he was wrong.

He began to reflect, to reflect deeply, and every time he started again, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, confessing what he had done, hoping that this would free him from hell.But there is no response in the infinitely repeating world, the sky is as high as his title, and only the pain of the world follows one after another.Two months after the somatosensory time, Aurus began to endure. He was as silent as an ascetic, facing the world indifferently like a dry old tree.He regards all these as a test, and once he successfully passes the test, he will be able to climb a new ladder, and his strong spirit will make him a legend in the world like a saint.

But still no one came to rescue him.

Then Aurus saw that the ordeal was but a pretext for self-deception, a sham for the generosity of others.Pain is not a good thing at all, it is just torture, and it has no meaning other than destroying life.This new discovery made him throw most of the contents of the books he had read into the trash can, and there seemed to be nothing more useful on the bookshelves after that.After a politician has discarded his lies, he is surprised to find himself indistinguishable from a bum.

"It should be... over here..." "Search the corridor..." "I'll go down to find..."

The voices from above grew louder, the manhole cover was being stomped on, and the dust shook off Aurus' face.The rat was scared away by the sound, and Aurus was not in a hurry. He would die of blood loss in a short time.After all the emotions were exhausted, all that remained in his heart was numbness. He barely moved his lips and asked a silent question.

What else do you want me to understand?
I'm tired, aren't you tired?
The pole of heaven is as far away as ever, without sound.Death approached quietly with a familiar feeling of coldness. The fragile young man closed his eyes, wanting to recall some happy memories and warm himself in the endless torment.

In the past, Aurus would choose when he gave a speech at the Light Core, when he talked with his father, or when he practiced impermanence, but perhaps Tianji's spells were too powerful, and he couldn't warm himself no matter how he recalled.Perhaps ordinary people would think of their mother at this time, but Aurus has no mother in the sense of family.He is a genetically adjusted test-tube baby, with the mission of an elite from birth.The chosen one should not be disturbed by meaningless family affection, he was proud of it in the past.

Now Aurus feels a little regretful, perhaps ordinary people can find more comfort in despair at this time.

"Sewer..." "Who..." "Together..." "...Ah..."

The clamor was getting closer and closer, and the time of death was approaching.This time he emptied his mind, trying to find a new spark in his memory.

Unbelievably, this time Aurus thought of the taste of beer.Unpleasant rock music was played in the bar late at night, and Ed lay on the wine table and cried loudly.That time Ed fell out of love, and after chasing a school girl who was a year behind him for half a year, he found out that he had a boyfriend in his hometown.He talked with his subordinates that a man should be ambitious and have the world in his heart when he is born in the world, and he should not only see the opposite sex around him, but also imagine future encounters.In fact, Aurus has never been in love. His understanding of love mainly comes from the love history of the family children and a few romance novels sent by Claire, but if he doesn’t comfort his subordinates, is it possible to cry with him?
Aurus actually remembered the content of those novels, they were all flamboyant, flamboyant, dry and vulgar, and the content was all about a clumsy female secretary who made jokes in the workplace and was caught by the young and wealthy boss In the end, the two got married after going through all kinds of difficulties...

At that time, he took the time to finish reading and wrote a few reflections with a headache. He felt that this kind of book really lowered the style of the members of the Light Core, so he took a few classical literature and philosophers' classics from the bookshelf as a gift.It's not that Aurus doesn't know the girl's heart, he feels that he has to do big things after all and can't waste time on the relationship between men and women.Besides, I have already used my feelings to get her to join the organization, so I can't really do something worthless...

Fragments of memory popped up one by one, playing shogi with Kawai in summer, playing baseball with Gao Yu in autumn, everyone toasting at the annual reception... It's amazing that he actually warmed up a bit.The picture ends at the aquarium late at night, where all kinds of weird sea animals swim slowly in the water. The girl stands in front of the water tank, her hair is dyed blue by the light.Her pupils were as beautiful as green gemstones, full of expectations and prayers.

He was really moved and hesitated at that time, but finally made a decision.If you let them stay, you will never be able to do big things again, then the meaning of his life will be gone...

But he didn't accomplish anything in the end. After he failed, he fell to the bottom, and in the end, what he thought of was these "not worth mentioning" trivial lives.In fact, it was not a useless entertainment, but his only treasure, but wasn't he the one who pushed these precious things out?

Aurus suddenly began to cry, crying like a child.He pounded the dirty floor so hard that his fists fell apart limply.Now he finally feels regretful, but the things that were once lost will never come back.He himself plunged himself into the bottom of despair.

The sound of footsteps came in a hurry, and Aurus was lifted up.This time the enemy's actions were cautious and even gentle. He opened his eyes in confusion, wondering who was going to kill him this time.

He met a pair of jewel-like eyes, the beautiful emerald green was blurred by tears, like grass after the rain.The girl hugged his filthy body tightly, weeping uncontrollably.

"Orus, my God. How did you become like this! What did they do to you?!"

"Claire?"

Aurus groaned dully.For a moment, he thought it was Claire from four years ago who came to kill him this time, but the girl in front of him was no different from when they parted. She was wearing a ol' outfit and high heels, and her beautiful long hair was stained with filth from touching him.He was convinced that this was the real Kleiya Kalash, and panic and shame, watered down by joy, clung to his heart.

"No, no," he whispered hopelessly, "I told you to get out! You shouldn't be here! Don't look at me—"

"Stop talking stupid! Get out with me!!"

The girl's screams overwhelmed Aurus.Claire tried to pick him up, but was too terrified to succeed.The other shoulders held him back, Ed.He also saw Kawai Ryozo and Gao Yu, dressed completely differently from when they were in Cangdu, but the look in his eyes was still the same as before.

"Aurus, you got fucked enough this time," Ed whispered, "Thank God you're still alive, don't fuck around next time."

"He needs to be hospitalized when he goes out?" "I need to find a hidden place to heal his wounds, Aurus has too many enemies..."

Everyone talked normally and led him out.There was some light at the end of the sewer, and Aurus' tears couldn't stop flowing down, dripping onto the ground.

"Kreiya, you made the wrong choice. I don't have superpowers anymore..." he said painfully, "I'm useless now..."

The impact came extremely suddenly, and the left side of Aurus' cheek was burning with pain.

Claire withdrew her slap and wiped her tears vigorously. It was the first time she yelled at him so brutally: "Who cares! Shut up if you can't speak, idiot!"

Aurus was speechless, not even a word.The shock, pain and perception that this slap brought to him were more direct than all the tortures so far combined.He was led by his friends to the light, and choked out a word.

"……thanks."

Aurus was terrified when he came out of the light that it was all a dream.He opened his eyes, groped around, and grabbed Claire's hand.Everyone is there, his body is sound, there is no injury, but he is so weak that he has no strength, like a patient who has been bedridden all year round.

The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when they first arrived. The colorless room was full of grotesque bumps and bumps, and a sneer echoed faintly in the room.

"Beasts still have the feeling of relatives and friends, how can people's hearts be cold and empty? Let's do people well before talking about big shit!"

The ink painting was gone, and the wall directly opposite was empty.

·
Sound Curtain City, Venus.

The large army is going to the Fire and Wind State today, and Gongsun Ce is exercising his body on the deck as a rehabilitation after the war.Qin Qianbai played against him slowly and asked, "Creiya and the others should be here now. Can Aurus be rescued?"

"Okay, probably." Gongsun Ce looked strange, "I accidentally found out about his recent situation before I left, what did that person say... It's bad enough, I wonder how he can improve his memory when he comes out this time."

Qin Qianbai was taken aback: "What kind of punishment can make that hypocrite change his nature?"

"Don't ask, it's not good for your appetite."

The two fought for a while, and walked towards the bridge together, when Gongsun Ce stopped walking just after entering the door.

A young man with black hair and black clothes was sitting carelessly on the sofa in the middle, throwing candied fruit and dried fruit into his mouth.The black-haired young man with red phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and a rather refined appearance of a literati, but his temperament is flowing like a ruffian.

Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai stared at each other: "I'm stupid, you fucking..." "You..."

"Why, you can't even talk after going out for a while?"

Yan Qi, who was more than ten years younger, squinted and said with a sneer, "Have enough rest, get ready to go!"
