Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 5
Three minutes after making the declaration of obliterating the dragon worshipers, Gongsun Ce brought the hunter Alice to his apartment on the seventh floor of the apartment building.Gongsun Ce is using his super power to control the kettle to float up, so as to cover up his embarrassment.

There is no way.There's no real point in being anxious when a furious declaration is met with a depressing response like "Ugh, boy, I don't know where they are now...".Therefore, before reliable information was conveyed, the two agreed to have some basic exchanges on the status quo.

"Do you want cold water or hot water?"

"...I thought you would at least ask whether it's coffee or black tea."

"I really don't know how to make bubbles. If you want to drink, I can order takeaway for you, but I guess I won't be able to make it in time."

Alice Adar looked at the living space, which was too vast for a student living alone, and replied with a complicated expression: "No, thank you, give me a glass of cold water..."

"Please."

Gongsun Ce moved a glass of cold water to the hunter with telekinesis, and sat down on the stool opposite the sofa empty-handed.He stretched out his hand to the hunter: "Let me introduce myself. Gongsun Ce, as you can see, he is a superpower. Ability is a special telekinesis, which can make simple attacks, assist his own actions, and can also be used as a means of detection like just now .When it is casted with invisible force, the speed of action is fast, and when it turns into white matter, it is more powerful."

Alice grabbed the water glass, a little overwhelmed by the sudden self-introduction.This superpower often doesn't play cards in the way she expected, which makes Alice feel a little fresh.

"The white matter... refers to the 'white matter hammer'." Alice recalled the battle just now, and reached out to shake the young man's hand. "Alice Adar, the hunter of the kingdom, the psychic envoy of Brahma. My psychic is the shadow freesia, which can bloom in the shadow of the freesia flower, and move itself and the things it touches between flowers .”

Gongsun Ce remembered the way she appeared on the stage stepping on flowers, and thought that the ability introduction was probably not a lie.However, Alice was quite cautious, because she didn't mention the scope and limitations of her abilities.

"You didn't tell the whole story, did you?" Hunter Alice said with a smile as if seeing his thoughts.

"Of course. These days, even rookies who have just awakened their abilities won't do this anymore."

Alice took a sip of cold water, but she didn't hold back the thoughts in her heart, so she said bluntly, "You are acting quite rationally now...but just now you attacked me with a rage!"

"This is my consistent principle. I learned the truth from my respected elder brother. If the opponent has no intention of repenting, beat him and correct him. In this way, let alone apologizing, even reforming is no problem. "

"Where did you come from, big brother who is violent?!" Alice said crazily, "And now you have changed back to such a style. You are really moody!"

Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses: "Mr. Gongsun, I'm not a narrow-minded man. Do I want women who have expressed their repentance to continue chasing after them? That would be too tasteless."

Alice Adar was deeply confused, she couldn't connect the calm young man in front of her with the superpower who had murderous eyes downstairs 3 minutes ago.

"No, no, no, the problem is that you still had a scary expression of 'I'm going to kill them all' 3 minutes ago..."

"Anger should be used in the right place. Maintaining a state of anger will not help resolve the matter."

As Gongsun Ce said, it is useless to maintain a state of preparation for war.He really wanted to kill all the dragon worshipers, but the problem was that he didn't know where the enemies who had sneaked into the city were.

And when Alice Adar also expressed that she had not received any reliable information, all Gongsun Ce could do was to quietly send a message of "asking for someone" to his trustworthy friend for help, and then communicated with this person from the kingdom. The hunter discussed the topic of cooperation.

Alice looked at him suspiciously: "Your previous state was not peaceful..."

"That is undoubtedly the sole responsibility of Miss Alice. Among other things, handcuffing him in the first place is not a friendly gesture."

That is, Mr. Gongsun, I have a good temper.

If it were replaced by those superpowers with a bad temper, the whole street would disappear while the handcuffs were being handcuffed.

Alice rubbed her scalp and explained helplessly: "Big sister, I really have no choice... Do you know that vicious magicians have their own mental pollution? Just communicating with them may cause schizophrenia due to the influence." , You have fought against a vicious magician in the supernatural realm! As a hunter, my first reaction must be to control you first, so as to observe whether there are any signs of deterioration!"

Cockscomb head...Mr. Capulo also has an aura of mental pollution?
In this way, Alice's actions make sense.When she saw that battle ended, what she thought was probably not "defeated a dragon worshiper", but "whether this guy will become the new madman".Did the difference in experience, knowledge and personality cause the two people to deal with it completely differently...

"It's not appropriate to say that it was a fight. Mr. Capulo took the initiative to attack in a half-crazy state." Gongsun Ce recalled the ins and outs of the encounter, "Does he have any enmity with the superhuman?"

Alice shook her head: "No, it's for predation. Capulo probably wants to eat your heart to recover your strength, because the heart is the energy source for you superpowers."

Prey... Mr. Gongsun, am I just a piece of bread in his eyes?A man who is not regarded as a duel until he is hurt, hides a gentlemanly attitude, and is a man as crazy as he looks.

"That's right. Also, you mentioned the so-called vicious envoy..." Gongsun Ce thought thoughtfully, "I guess this is a special kind of impermanent envoy? Mr. Capulo is not only a lunatic, but also a misguided one. Is it impermanent?"

Alice twirled the short arrow at her fingertips, and said in surprise, "You know our industry well?"

What is your industry.

It's as if impermanence is a profession obtained after graduating from a technical school.

"Knowledge is not counted, at most it is a little knowledge." Gongsun Ce quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind, thinking about the amount of information he should show.

It was not a good idea to display one's knowledge without reserve in front of Alice Adar, a stranger of unknown origin.Besides, he doesn't know much about the world of the Impermanent Law Envoys, so it's better to pretend to be a layman who "has dabbled".

"The method of impermanence is a technology that has appeared since 2000 years ago and uses the power of the mind to affect reality. The creature dragon cannot cause damage by normal means, but the 'supernatural' power of the method of impermanence can effectively kill the dragon. , so the method of impermanence is also called the Dragon Slaying Technique by the experts in the other world."

The founding emperor of the Eternal Light Empire, the legendary sage of the United States of Urstes, the "King Morton" of the Kingdom of Morton... The heroes who are active in history and mythology because of the legend of dragon slaying are often the most powerful in that era The impermanence of human beings is a well-known common sense in the inner world.

In the world on the surface side, myths and legends are regarded by ordinary people as synonymous with fictional stories.

"As far as I know, the law of impermanence can be divided into seven different types..." Gongsun Ce pretended to recall for a while, "The proper term you use is 'heart phase', right? The order is Ji·kong· Spirit, Sanskrit, Huang, Disaster, and Strange. There are also five increasing 'realms', which are enlightenment, clarity, spirituality, appearance, and creation."

The "Piercing Snake" used by Capulo before is his barren appearance·Tongshen, which is the impermanent method of the barren appearance in the realm of Tongshen.Gongsun Ce vaguely remembered that the wild face method was a technique that focused on strengthening the body, and the little red snake was most likely a part of Kapullo's body.

As for the wonderful flowers that move in the shadows used by Alice Adar, it is very similar to the Brahman method that controls time and space.Since the range of influence of this technology is not too large, she should also be a magician who belongs to the backbone of combat power.

"Oh, I have the basic knowledge of the inner world, so I don't have to do science." Alice twirled the short arrow in her hand, like a student with nothing to do, twirling a pen, "And then?"

"No, then, that's all the information I know."

This amount of information should be enough, and you can pretend to be an outsider who has some knowledge of the inner world, but does not have a deep understanding.

Gongsun Ce thought it was a good choice to tell some half-truths and half-false lies at this time. He couldn't enthusiastically say to the hunter who met for the first time, "Impermanence can be used? I'm familiar with it. Your immediate boss, the Seventh Knight, is me." Old friend we used to play tricks on her."Miss Alice would most likely regard him as a charlatan who is full of flamboyance, and decisively give up her intention to cooperate.

"Humph~~"

Gongsun Ce was very satisfied with his performance, and it didn't look like Alice Aidar was being concealed by him.The huntress stared at his face carefully, alertness and sensitivity flashed in her brown eyes.

"Lie." Alice turned the short arrow around and pointed the arrow at Gongsun Ce's face, "Big sister, I can tell. Your understanding of the inner world is definitely more than what you have described."

It's a bit tricky...

Different from that careless performance, Miss Alice's intuition is quite sensitive, and she is indeed an expert who can be sent to the capital of the sky.

"Please also understand that I can't tell the whole story about myself to the lady I just met." Gongsun Ce replied with a polite smile, "So, do you intend to cooperate? I have something to say first, I am purely out of a sense of responsibility Voluntary labor, no money and no favors, I finish the work early so I can sleep peacefully earlier."

"Do you know how suspicious your own words sound?"

"I'm just a warm-hearted student of justice."

"No, thank you." Alice drank the cold water and stood up from the sofa, "Judging from being able to have such a long conversation with me, you should not be affected by that dragon lunatic. You have completed the necessary duties, forget about this matter, boy! The crisis related to the safety of the city will be resolved by experts, and it is the greatest help for you to stay in your own home and not cause trouble."

The blue-haired huntress put down the water glass, turned and walked towards the door, but she was really ready to leave.When Alice put her hand on the doorknob, Gongsun Ce on the sofa said calmly:
"—Miss Alice Adar, you are chasing two goals at the same time."

Judging from Alice's half-way action, the words had the desired effect.Gongsun Ce recalled the scene when he met Capulo, and began to talk about his conjecture.

"Mr. Capulo Bolier fell from a high altitude. His alienated body is extremely agile, and he doesn't seem to be someone who would make low-level mistakes when flying over eaves and walls. Refer to the short arrow on his ankle-now it is hanging on you The wonderful weapon at the waist——the conclusion is ready to come out. You wounded Capulo in the battle on the roof and knocked him to the ground, thus the battle between me and him started.

But it would be irresponsible for an official expert to leave a dangerous terrorist alone.Unless the expert had other priorities at the time—for example, hunting down a more dangerous dragon worshipper who was more threatening to civilians.That must be a cunning and powerful enemy, otherwise he or she would not be able to escape your elusive impermanence in a short time. "

Alice turned around: "How do you know I failed?"

"Otherwise, what are you waiting for now, Miss Alice? If you managed to catch that big guy, you should focus on him now." Gongsun Ce shook his finger, "Let me guess... …You put a tracking device on that enemy, such as a locator, and you are now waiting for him to end his stealth and reveal his coordinates. Is this correct, Miss Alice?"

Alice turned around and looked him over carefully from head to toe.

"Very witty, boy." There was a hint of approval in the hunter's words.

"A little reasoning and guessing is nothing. By the way, my superpower is also very good at capturing fleeing enemies." Gongsun Ce made an inviting gesture, "Are you willing to reconsider the proposal of cooperation? It's a good plan for you and me."

Alice tapped the floor lightly with her toes, and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

"You convinced me, boy. I think the advantages of working with you outweigh the disadvantages. But it is against the principle to involve ordinary civilians in this work. I need to ask my superiors for instructions."

"Please, Miss Alice." Gongsun Ce opened the window, "Time is precious, I will wait for you downstairs."

He jumped out of the window and landed safely with telekinetic power, so as to leave the hunter a little space to report alone, and also leave himself a little time to act alone.

Gongsun Ce used telekinesis to detect the movement by the window, and felt a little relieved when he saw the hunter turn around and make a phone call.He looked at the door of his house, and as expected, he found that the unconscious Capulo had disappeared without a trace, and even the traces left by the battle between the two were wiped away in just a few minutes.

Everything seemed to have never happened, only a van passing not far away hinted that the officials had completed the aftermath.Gongsun Ce doesn't care about this, this is the capital of the sky, open and secret battles between superpowers and people from various countries happen all the time, and high-tech and official secret forces will cover up the traces inside, leaving most citizens They can live in peace under the glamor of the surface.

After living here for a long time, everyone will have their own secrets, and the old citizen Gong Sun Ce is the same.At this time, he was carrying two secrets that he was unwilling to confess to Alice. One was that he had just secretly sent a message to his trusted information dealer and close friend, asking him to investigate the situation about the dragon worshippers. intelligence; the second... is a text message he received this morning.

【To Gongsun Ce】

[Gongsun boy, I am Yan Qi.I've been having nightmares a lot lately, I'm going to die once in the past two days to put an end to this matter. 】

"Tsk..."

The content of the text message made Gongsun Ce feel angry just by looking at it.Part of the reason is that the other party has no taboos and bossy tone, and the other half is due to the accuracy of the other party's everything.

Gongsun Ce has indeed often had nightmares recently.Just before returning to his home, he had just relived a past experience in a fast food restaurant... This is undoubtedly a negative factor that will affect the battle, so Gongsun Ce unconsciously became anxious.

Hunting down dragon worshipers and solving his own nightmares, will he have time to do both at the same time?Those are equally important and equally urgent matters...

At this moment, Gongsun Ce sensed the "wind".

Wind, draft, moving air.The invisible and colorless wind blew past the door of the apartment building and gathered five meters in front of Gongsun Ce, forming a strange human form.He looked like a strong man with a bald head, but his body was not made of flesh and blood, but a translucent object made of gas.

"Hey, you." The gas bald man stared at Gongsun Ce with a bad tone.When he spoke, the air buzzed, reminding Gongsun Ce of a fan in summer. "Have you seen it, Capulo? Or, Hunter..."

Gongsun Ce showed him a cheerful smile.

"I've seen it, sir." He said enthusiastically, "He was just knocked out by me five minutes ago, and he is probably being interrogated by the officials now."

There was a clear look of anger on the translucent face of the gas bald man, and sickle-like wind blades condensed from his gaseous body, and he was about to kill Gongsun Ce with the force of thunder.But suddenly, a look of astonishment appeared on the bald man's face.

"You... woo!"

The translucent body quickly turned into the flesh of an ordinary person. With a muffled grunt, he collapsed to the ground without a sound, and passed out.

This is just another practical trick of telekinetic power—Gongsun Ce had the urge to speak like this, but the fact is that before he could do anything in the future, this strange impermanence fell down.

And the culprit who made the transparent man faint was another newcomer who replaced him in front of Gongsun Ce.This person had black mid-length hair, was wearing an elegant suit, and had a handsome and elegant face. He looked like a professional butler from a foreign aristocratic family.

Gongsun Ce imagined the whole picture of what happened just now without any effort: the man in the suit sneaked behind the gas bald man and slapped his hand on his back, and the enemy who seemed to have elementalized his body was instantly killed and collapsed on the ground. on the ground.

A crisp blow, really in his style.

The man in the suit looked at Gongsun Ce with a smile, and pulled up his white gloves: "I happened to pass by, so I did a little favor by the way. Are you in trouble, Gongsun?"

Gongsun Ce sighed and said to his iron buddies.

"You're overthinking, Mr. Shi Yu. Mr. Gongsun, my life is normal, and it's no different from every day in the past."

This is a lie.

Today, as every day before, Gongsun Ce is lying to his friends.
