Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 57 I want to learn...

At 7:40 p.m., Cangshou District, Hongyu Station.

Gongsun Ce jumped off the white-headed parrot and fed the biochemical bird a piece of jerky.

The big bird was chewing and chewing, looking very happy.That look reminded him of Qi Luo at dinner—the girl acted like she was eating for the first time, and she was full of praise for every dish, even though they wanted to eat instant noodles and instant buns tonight.

Should this be a sequela of amnesia, or is this girl's personality just like this?He couldn't say for sure, and decided to put it aside for the time being.

He had to help Qiluo regain her memory, and he also agreed to assist Shi Yujun in his love battle.But tonight, Gongsun Ce had to deal with his own affairs first.

The gray-haired youth left the pigeon station and walked along the road on the edge of the city.

Cangshou District, commonly known as Longtou District, is located on the head of a giant dragon just like its name, and it is physically connected to the central area through an extremely wide main road—to put it bluntly, the dragon’s neck.Walking along the section of Dragon’s Neck (he forgot what the official name is), the first thing you can see is not the urban area, but two hills and a tunnel running through the mountain.

According to the superpower user's understanding, the twin peaks in Cangshou District should be the protrusions on the back of the dragon's head, or the dragon's ears.Some people also say that it is a dragon horn, but according to the proportion, the dragon horn should not be this height.

Whatever parts they were, it's just two hills that are there now.The foot of the mountain is covered with green grass and flowers, and it is occupied by the jungle from the halfway up the mountain, and further up, about the part near the top of the mountain, you can faintly see a little blue from the gaps in the leaves.

The students all said that the villa with the blue roof is the private residence of a big man.

Right now he is heading towards one of the villas.After walking for more than ten minutes, he realized that the mountain was higher than he had imagined, so the superhuman directly soared into the air and flew towards the destination of the trip.

It was a waste of energy, but he didn't worry too much - could there be an accident at the door of Tianji's house?
He flew over the jungle, crossed the garden and artificial lake in front of the villa, and landed in front of the solid wooden gate.The time on the pocket watch showed that he had arrived a few minutes earlier. The young man waited for a while until the hour hand just reached 8 o'clock before knocking on the door with his hand.

dong dong dong.

After a while, someone's voice came from behind the door: "Come in!"

The wooden door opened automatically, and the gray-haired youth stepped into the room.

When the door first saw a bamboo screen engraved with mountains and rivers, after turning the screen, you can see the appearance of the hall.Huanghuali chairs, gold silk embroidered cushions, white porcelain fruit plates on marble tables, and vigorous and long calligraphy on the walls.Looking closely, what catches the eye are all kinds of rare objects, far beyond the knowledge of an ordinary student like him.

What is more conspicuous than all these decorations is the man in black splashing ink in the hall.He flicked a brush on the rice paper that was big enough for an adult to lie down on, just to add the last touch to a weird formation.

Yan Qi threw the brush on the ground and pointed to the chair with his chin: "Sit."

The gray-haired young man looked at the objects in the room: "It's so rich."

The tall man smacked his lips.

"Master Guan's house is naturally rich! Can I, a poor man, afford it?"

"You don't have any spare money in your dignified world-creating law envoy?"

"If Impermanence can make money, how can it be so useless." Yan Qi curled his lips, "You can make money if you are good at fighting?"

Hard to say.

What if a rich man with a lot of money hires me as a bodyguard, or as a part-time job for white coats...

"Oh, you can make money by working for others. What are you doing?"

He shook his head at the man's laughter.

"Like an idiot. Given the chance to be a civil servant I might consider it."

"Idiot, what's the difference! Working for the rich and working for the emperor, don't they all tie ropes around their necks the same way!"

Yan Qi sat down on the gentleman's chair, raised his hand and pointed at this luxurious villa, asking as if to show off his wealth.

"Is this room big?"

To say big or not, it is big.

From the outside, this building is taller than the small building he lived in when he was in the kingdom, and it is even different from the single room in the apartment he lives in now.

Gongsun Ce replied angrily, "It's a waste to only live in this room with you."

"Oh! I'm alone."

The man in black tapped the handle of the chair with his knuckles.

"You saw me alone in this room, didn't you?"

This way of asking doesn't seem like the other party deliberately made him angry.

Yan Qi seemed to want to confirm something.Coincidentally, he had just heard a similar question this afternoon.

Gongsun Ce was not in a hurry to answer.He didn't enter those single rooms with closed doors, he walked around the living room, carefully looked at every corner where people could hide, and said when he returned to the starting point: "Within the range of my eyesight , it's just the two of us here."

The middle-aged artist looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"It's rare that you don't have a squeak. Have you encountered a strange thing recently?"

really.

When he heard such a question in the afternoon, it was Mr. Shi Yu who was confirming the number of people in the room.At that time, Qiluo who had used her ability disappeared from the eyes of ordinary people, and only she could see it.

Yan Qi must know something about his unique "sight".Otherwise, he would never have asked such a question.

Is Qiluo's amnesia related to impermanence?Or is she herself a high-level impermanent magician?
"At noon today..."

He sat down on the chair and carefully talked to Yan Qi about what happened this afternoon.This time he didn't hide any details, including the weird "316" hours that he didn't explain to several friends.

——316 hours and 47 minutes ago at noon today, which happened to be the morning of the day of the Liuli Disaster.To say that Qiluo's abnormal state has nothing to do with the events that happened that day, people with superpowers would never believe it.

It was rare for Yan Qi to listen to the whole story patiently.

"You guys are really idle! If you are so idle, check it out slowly."

After leaving such an unclear comment, he grabbed the dried fruit from the fruit plate on the table and chewed it.

Gongsun Ce patted the table vigorously: "Don't do this! Why can I see Qiluo?"

Impermanence made him say lazily: "Use your brain, Gongsun boy. You have one more eye than others, so you can see more things?"

He, Gongsun Ce, has never had more than 2 eyes since he was born, except for being called a four-eyed frog by a gangster.

Unless Yan Qi refers to...

The superpower user quickly reacted: "The eyes of the Nether Dragon?"

"That's right, Nether's one-eyed man! You have personally entered the spirit prison world back then, so you won't forget what that ghostly place looks like!"

The gray-white mist, the power to wear away the flesh and memory, the ghostly dragon sitting on the bell tower...Supebia's gloomy appearance is still fresh in my memory.Gongsun Ce asked suspiciously: "Isn't the phenomenon He brought fog?"

"Fog is the boundary between illusion and reality, and it is enough to remember this appearance."

Yan Qi obviously didn't want to talk more about it, but the gray-haired young man didn't want to let it go.

"So what exactly did that bead change in me?"

"The Nether Dragon is the ancestor of all illusions in this world, and all it sees is reality. What do you think it can bring you?" The middle-aged painter threw a nut into his mouth, "However, the one sealed by me Now, this thing can also help you see through some tricks. Isn't it very convenient! I went out to pick up a girl in just a few days."

"I would rather not have this ability."

"No! It's okay! At worst, cut your heart out again, what are you doing?" Yan Qi shrugged his shoulders, "Let's get down to business, why did you come here this time?"

"..."

The psychic fell silent in a rare way.

"It's been almost two weeks since the glass disaster was resolved. My life is very stable, and I haven't encountered any messy things except what I just told you. Everything is the same as before. Going to school, leaving school, chatting with friends , helping the eldest brother with things, occasionally fighting with the ability users who come to find fault... talking about youth and the future like everyone... After the sword of the end was re-sealed, even that nightmare no longer appeared. Everything in the past is over, the sky The capital is not as bad as it used to be, I don’t think life is so bad now.”

It is obviously a daily life that should be taken for granted, but when it is really narrated, it seems to be blowing bubbles with words.

Transparent and soft bubbles.It appears colorful under the sunlight, and it floats out of the palm with the breeze, growing larger and larger in the air.

Dreamy, ethereal, mesmerizing... worrying.

"However, I... Occasionally, at certain times of the day, I still feel sudden fear. Worrying about another sudden disaster, pulling me out of the peaceful daily life, involving people I know... and also That is to say, Yan Qi, what I want to ask is..."

For two weeks he kept comforting himself with this.

But when he said this, Gongsun Ce still felt a little uneasy.

Just to make sure, he told himself, no big deal, anyone with common sense would give the answer he expected.

He clasped his hands tightly, and said slowly: "I have encountered dragon disasters three times in my life... I shouldn't be so unlucky that I will experience the fourth time in my lifetime, right?"

Yan Qi supported his head with his hands, his eyes seemed to be watching an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

"Do you believe it yourself?"

He didn't believe it.

If he could really convince himself, why did he need to go to an expert for confirmation?
It's just that, somewhere in the heart, there are still unrealistic expectations.I hope that all bad events will be completely far away, and I hope that he can return to the life that an ordinary superpower should have.

"How old are you still lying to yourself? What have you experienced before, what are you holding now, do you have no points in your heart?"

The tall man spoke mercilessly, his knife-like sharp words tore to pieces the fantasy described by the young man.

"Stay away from right and wrong? Dream, don't even think about it! Even if you escape to the deep mountains and old forests alone, bad things will come to you, even if you lose your heart and become a waste, there will be people who want to use you Come here! Let me ask you something, Gongsun boy. If there is a dragon disaster in the southern part of the United States, which is a hundred and eight thousand miles away, and 10,000+ people will die, will you go?"

The gray-haired young man roared angrily: "...Can I fucking not go?!"

Yan Qi laughed and spread his hands: "Then it's over? Enjoy the peaceful time now, maybe next time you will run to a place half a planet away because of some crap - it is very likely that you will take the initiative Go, hahahaha!"

The middle-aged painter smiled viciously, and Gongsun Ce sighed, unable to light a fire.

He knew the man was right.

The previous question was just a fluke, and he was destined to be unable to live like an ordinary person.

Bubbles will burst one day.

That being the case, people on the ground cannot stay still, but must respond.

"I know, that's why I came to you. I want to make some preparations for what may happen in the future. Simply put, I..."

Yan Qi chuckled.

It wasn't sarcasm, it wasn't ridicule, but a self-satisfied and arrogant smile that appeared after anticipating all the actions of the other party.

"You want to learn the law of impermanence, don't you, Gongsun boy?"
