Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 494 Meteor Shower Night (3)

·Combat meeting minutes from Qiluo app·

Onowell: When killing Jane Gray Morton, the Knight of Dawn interrupted the seance ceremony by depriving her of her status as queen with the "Decree of Destroying the King".Can we do it again with Gaius?

Will: I can assist with the Convict Gun.

Gaffrey: It is theoretically feasible to replace the basic logic of the art form with the law of the kingdom and the constitution of the United States.However, there is no evidence for the crime committed by Gaius, and we cannot judge the crime by guesswork alone.

Aurus: ...I don’t recommend that you work in this direction.

Two hours later, the Shen Xing Disaster Relief Memorial Hall.

"This place is smaller than I thought." Qiluo said.

"It was originally a facility built by the city government to appease the hearts of the people." Shigurei said, "It can be included in the tourist brochure because of insufficient maintenance funds for a long time, and the operator is counting on the bad guys to earn some ticket money."

"Madam, please eat your snacks honestly, and pretend to be a tourist." Gongsun Ce said in a low voice.Shi Yuling rolled his eyes, took out a snake-shaped biscuit from the packaging bag, and reluctantly took two bites.

"It tastes terrible." Rei Shigure complained loudly, "Who bought this brand?"

"It's you." Qin Qianbai, who was pretending to be his son, looked unhappy, "It's all your fault for trying to buy discounted goods."

Shi Yuling took advantage of the topic and began to lecture his "son" by his ears.Gongsun Ce quietly left the filming scene of the family sitcom, and went to the exhibition cabinet to watch the record of the "Shen Xing Incident" 15 years ago with Ailandia.More than a dozen old photos, a few reports and a restoration model of the disaster site are the faint traces left by the past disasters.The old newspaper at the head wrote a summary of the investigation 15 years ago: On August 1995, 8, multiple meteors of different sizes fell, causing 24 deaths and 4 serious injuries.

The size of the memorial hall is small, and there are very few tourists in the museum. The name of this place is actually a publicity building built by the government in response to public opinion, and it has long lost its meaning.Maybe in a few years when the government runs out of budget it should be demolished and the land used for an apartment building or a supermarket.This environment provided great convenience for discussion, and Gongsun Ce didn't have to worry about the crowds around him.He pretended to be appreciative, and asked Elandia softly: "What is the ins and outs of the incident?"

"In August 1995, Prince Aurelian went to Hezhong alone in order to inherit the position of Patriarch. At that time, the old Patriarch Claudius was old, and the Ultimis family needed a new leader, and Prince Aurelian At a young age, he already has the strength to show the peak, and is recognized as one of the talents who are most likely to break through the world, so he has become the best choice."

"In terms of strength alone, he is indeed, but not necessarily in a comprehensive consideration. Aurelian is the core of political marriage, even if he inherits the head of the family, he will not be able to live in the congregation for a long time. Why did Claudius let a man far away in the kingdom be the head of the family? ?” Gongsun Ce objected.

"First of all, it is not uncommon for family heads to be far away from home. The Mr. Onoville you are familiar with is a ready example. Secondly, the Ultimus family is not the master of the United States. He can only represent the family itself. If Aurelian By inheriting the position of head of the family, Ultimus and the kingdom will become truly unbreakable allies, which will be beneficial to both parties."

Gongsun Ce quickly cleared his mind.Once the inheritance is successful, Otimis will become a powerful family supported by the Kingdom in the territory of the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom will also receive the full support of the world's largest arms dealer. It is a win-win situation.He felt a little ironic: "So Aurelian was a genuine peace envoy back then..."

"Prince Aurelian himself has always advocated a truce and advocated peace. At that time, many people thought that this succession would bring about a true peaceful relationship between the two countries. So it disappeared." Elandia said, "However, the prince died strangely in the end, the relationship between the two countries fell to a freezing point, and the secret war intensified until the disaster in the sky came."

Gongsun Ce read the old newspaper carefully, he knew the story behind the official record.Back then, the kingdom's creation law envoys were unable to enter the Hezhong due to the general environment during the secret war, so the kingdom sent four manifestation law envoys to return home with them as the prince's guards.On the night of the succession ceremony, several dazzling meteors fell from the sky and razed an old building in Meteor City to the ground.The four manifested magisters were the four unfortunate victims who died that night. The whereabouts of Aurelian Otimemis was never mentioned in the news, because the official caliber of the United States has been "Aurelian's mysterious disappearance" for 15 years. .The prince is still remembered by the old citizens in the distant island country, but he has long been forgotten by people in his hometown.

"It's not right." Gongsun Ce said, "Gaius's plan is too rough. He is a man who is so cautious that he has to think word by word for casual small talk. His assassination plan will not be so grandiose. If he wants to kill someone , that person should die reasonably and have nothing to do with him.”

"The premise is that he is strong and well-prepared." Elandia pointed out, "Gaius 15 years ago was a soldier who had just been evacuated from the battlefield, and he had nothing but a medal."

It seemed that Gaius had no choice but to take risks. Aurelian not only had the support of the kingdom, but also the favor of his old family master. If Aurelian inherited the position of the family master, he would never have a chance to turn around.Gongsun Ce agreed with this conclusion, and he began to think about what cards Gaius had in his hand at that time.

"He also has his buddy champion."

"A champion shot wouldn't cause such turmoil."

Kaitianshu masters never like to make mistakes, and this makes sense.So it’s Situ Yi and Lord Yinlu?Even more impossible, judging from the timeline that those two people were still busy working on Shigure Genya, it is unclear whether they knew Gaius at that time.Hong Yiqing?There was no reason for a veteran Chuangjie to personally take action because of this. He could make Claudius, the head of the family at the time, change his plan again with just a few words...

Thinking at a deadlock for a moment, he suddenly remembered the short communication with Aurus before the operation began.The rich second generation was so weak that his hands were trembling, but there was a stubborn light in his eyes.

"What do you think my father was like?"

"A rationalist as calm as a machine."

"Is that so in your eyes?" Aurus smiled complicatedly, "But in my opinion, my father is an emotional man."

"Are you sure you're talking about Gaius?"

"Ahhh, sentimental and impulsive, that's why I use myself as a negative example to educate me. I asked my father about the Aurelian incident a long time ago, and he only said one sentence, 'If I had your talent then That's it'," said Aurus, "and he's a failure as a machine to deal with his son with such evocative vague answers."

Gongsun Ce hated the tone of the other party, but he agreed with this conjecture.What about another angle?The premise remains the same, if the image of Gaius back then was different from what it is now, he was weak, at a disadvantage, and considered himself mediocre, but with the same ambition as his son, he wanted to fight for a turnaround.But this does not mean that he will lose his IQ, he will think of a radical but retreat method to control this arms family...

Arms family... Otimes is an arms dealer, and Aurelian is a pacifist?
The contradiction suddenly jumped out of my mind, like a school of fish jumping out of the sea under the moon.Gongsun Ce said quickly, "What was the first thing Gaius did after taking power?"

"Internal liquidation." Elandia said, "He personally killed the elders headed by the old Patriarch Claudius, thus completely establishing his own ruling power."

At this time, Gongsun Ce had almost confirmed his conjecture. He pretended to be a bored man from the kingdom and took the lead to walk outside the memorial hall.

"You've thought about the possibility, haven't you?"

"No evidence."

"Yes, think about the stupidity and arrogance flowing in their blood."

Elandia shook her head: "This is not evidence." Of course, Gongsun Ce thought, she couldn't make such a guess to the queen at all.

"Fortunately, we are not detectives now, so we don't need to make perfect reasoning." Gongsun Ce said, "Aulus is right, don't waste time on the first plan. Adjust the travel plan, we have to speed up." The Harvey family They came in high spirits and left in disappointment. They left behind the complaints and some household garbage that almost every tourist would issue.This included two half-eaten food wrappers, the unpalatable snake-shaped biscuits rattling in the bin as they wobbled as they collided.

·
The time came to 09:30 at night, and the Harvey family returned to the hotel.Just by looking at the expression on the front desk girl's face, they knew that they were in a hurry to see the countless scenic spots in the metropolis like most country folks who came to Meteor City for the first time, and then they were tossed messily by the ever-changing landforms.

"Let me guess where you guys have been. Houses of Parliament? Old Kenton Memorial?"

"The mud pit that appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the Capitol, and the honey glass tunnel that turned right at the entrance of the memorial hall." Mr. Harvey looked exhausted, "Holy King Blessing, how did you survive here?"

"It depends on your luck." The girl at the front desk said, "Be happy sir, there will be a meteor shower tomorrow, and then this crazy city will finally be able to calm down for a few days!"

After taking the elevator upstairs, everyone rushed into Mr. Harvey's room. Shigure Rei and Kira threw themselves on the bed first.The guess of the girl at the front desk was absolutely correct. They had browsed a total of ten scenic spots, large and small, today. Even Huanyue Zun, a travel enthusiast, felt mentally exhausted.

"Oh, I really regret choosing the plan of traveling." Qi Luo moaned, "Why don't we choose the transport workers from the state of wood and equipment?"

"Obviously, you guys are not very good at playing the role of porters, and I'm embarrassed too." Gongsun Ce sat down next to her and rubbed his idol's face, "Cheer up, crew members, let's review the battle plan again! "

The battle plan has been drawn up before departure, and every member is familiar with it.But Gongsun Ce still intends to repeat it again, in order to check whether there are any gaps in the review and to calm down the mood of his companions.He spread out the travel brochure on the table and pointed to the rectangular presidential palace on the large spread.

"The landforms of the Brilliant State are extremely complex and changeable. No one can tell how many votes a flash of light will change or even affect the election results. The presidential election day of the United States is set on the first day after the meteor shower in autumn every year. This is because after the meteor shower The Huangguang activities will be temporarily suspended within 3 to 5 days, so as to ensure the fairness of the election results and the safety of the election process.”

"What is the principle of the meteor shower?" Qin Qianbai raised his hand.

"It is speculated that the totem should be able to affect the redundancy removal mechanism during the operation of the Brilliant Light State." Elandia replied, "The time of the meteor shower this year has been advanced, and Gaius is worried that it will change later and the election time will be advanced. , the possibility of further changes in the short term is very low.”

"The forecast time for the meteor shower is from tomorrow afternoon to evening. According to tradition, the president and vice president will make public appearances at the presidential palace and hold a celebration ceremony with the candidates. This is our best chance to act. Everyone knows the specific plan, and Any unresolved issues?"

Qi Luo raised her hand: "I want to ask about President Hezhong. Klein Ayman may have the ability to influence the civilized front. What if he breaks the pot and throws trouble on the spot?"

This piece of information came from Governor Jago. During the meeting, he specifically stated that the President, as the leader of the United States, may have the qualifications to interfere in the civilized front. In the worst case, it is also possible to directly turn the table on the opposite side to unblock the Mysterious World.Gongsun Ce shook his head when he heard the words: "Gaius' plan is to ascend to the gods by himself. It is not good for him to destroy the civilization front before he succeeds. If the opponent is really crazy to this extent... it depends on our plan three."

"Your backup plan is so outrageous, you might as well think of something else. Can't you really think of a way to get the Guilty Gun to come ahead of time?" Rei Shigure said, "It feels a bit risky to rely on just the few of us to carry out the assault. "

"I'm afraid it's difficult. In the past two days, I have made a preliminary analysis of Meteor City's defense system. It responds relatively slowly to the weapon of the mind, but once the weapon of the level of the Conviction Gun is brought, it will immediately trigger the alarm. Elandia said, "On the other hand, Mr. Shigure is still in a coma..."

"Thank God that Shiyu-kun was able to catch up with the battle when he got up. Sneaking in without the cover of Curse Balance is still too unsafe." Gongsun Ce took out a tied picture scroll from his backpack, "Thankfully we still have this secret weapon. There is a guarantee no matter what.”

"This level is not a guarantee, it's a big killer." Qi Luo complained.

"Secret weapons are the same as preparatory plans, the more the better! We made three plans before, and I decided to give up the plan for the status of the president. The situation of Gaius is different from that of Grey. Using the past to deal with him is a move. Throwing stones at one's own feet." Gongsun Ce said, "You can try the second plan, and if you really have no choice, rely on the third plan."

Shi Yuling was taken aback: "Is there any mistake, you really plan to use that magical plan?"

The totem of the Brilliant State is not only the key to the city's defense system, but also another core of the saint's civilization front. It can become Gaius' hole card and can also be used to "instigate rebellion".The so-called second plan is to have Elandia guide Qiluo's action, relying on information manipulation ability to cooperate with the church's magic formula to replace the control priority of the totem.Once the totem is successful, it will first obey the instructions of the church, and Gaius' plan will collapse from the foundation.And plan three...

The third plan is fundamentally a gamble, not to mention whether there is a chance to launch it, and there is no certainty about the effect if it succeeds. It is full of the flexible style of these people who have always been adaptable.

"An unreliable preliminary plan is better than no plan, so everyone will have to take risks tomorrow." Gongsun Ce made up his mind, "If everything goes well, I can hold back Gaius and Totem at worst, Shigure Zero will be responsible Against Zhan Jinglian, Yan Qi said that he would be responsible for dealing with Situ Yi's methods, but..."

Everyone knows what he left to say.champion.

The part of this plan that has not been fully finalized in the end is that no one can guarantee that they will stop the champion.So far, they have no lack of experience in fighting the World Creation Envoy and the Monarch Dragon, but the ultimate realm of the Return to Heaven Art is completely different from them.That is a terrifying man like ghosts and gods. His sudden slash in the arena is like the magic of a seraphim, and like his realm, it surpasses common sense... and also surpasses understanding.

"I'll fight him." Qin Qianbai said.

The girl sat cross-legged on a wooden bench, playing with the Wanhua knife that had been turned into a flute.She raised her head to meet everyone's gaze, there was no abnormality on her face, she was neither happy nor nervous.

"Miss Qin, can you do it?" Elandia asked on behalf of everyone, "This is not the only option, we can ask Agent Will to dispatch in advance."

"Before the actual fight, I don't know the outcome of the future." Qin Qianbai said, "But I know that some battles cannot be retreated. Once retreated, I can no longer go forward. Now I have a better knife and more Nice clothes, if I don't fight I will lose to the champion forever. I don't want to be the loser forever."

The girl spoke eloquently, her eyes were as clear as a pool of spring water, and she could see the end with a simple and clean glance.That kind of fighting spirit that does not contain murderous intentions or grievances is something that Gongsun Ce cannot possess or understand. Perhaps those who cannot understand should be handed over to this kind of "similar" to deal with?

Gongsun Ce rubbed her head: "That's all up to you, Qin Qianbai. Don't die, you know?"

"I won't die. I'm still waiting to go back to my hometown with Ah Ce to get married."

"The decisive battle is about to start, so don't set up the flag like this, okay?!" Qi Luo went crazy, "Qin Qianbai quickly take back your death flag, and it will be too late if you don't take it!"

Qin Qianbai suddenly realized: "If I knew it, I would have gotten married in advance..."

"I think she is good at this. She has already entered the idiot state in advance. Martial arts idiots are invincible." Rei Shigure curled his lips, "Okay, let's finish it quickly and let big sister and I have a good sleep when we have time."

Gongsun Ce cleared his throat, and said seriously: "This is the end of the review of the battle, please recharge your batteries and get ready. This battle is code-named 'Meteor', and our actions will be faster than any meteor. In an instant, the most brilliant light burst out!"
