Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 118 24 hours under

"I don't plan to join the super power organization for the time being."

Qin Qianbai crossed his arms in an X shape, expressing his rejection.

"Oh well, it's a pity, today's event will give you free drinks and handmade sandwiches." Metal Head grinned, "Welcome to join anytime if you want to."

The eldest lady looked at this person's attire, and her attention focused on the leaflet and wooden sign in his hand.The sign is drawn in the style of a supermarket special sale advertisement, "Don't miss it when you pass by!" "In the capital of the sky, one out of every three superpowers is a member of the Mutual Aid Club!" "Provide a professional dating platform for superpowers! ""The membership fee is 0, and you can get a mysterious gift if you join now!" and other attractive advertisements.On the leaflets, comic strips are used to promote the concept of "civilization and harmony, friendship and mutual assistance" of the Mutual Aid Association.

The girl recalled: "When I was invited to join the club, the publicity style of the Mutual Aid Club didn't seem to be like this. At that time, a well-dressed person came to visit and talked about more serious topics."

William touched his shiny skull.

"Because the president thinks that you are a high-level talent worthy of attention, he sent someone to send a formal invitation. As for what I am doing now-you can also see that our mutual aid association mainly follows the grassroots and people-friendly style, and does not force others Everyone supports it, but I hope to leave a good impression on everyone.”

Qin Qianbai thinks that the propaganda idea set by the president of the Mutual Aid Association is very clever: gangsters and elites are likely to arouse some people's resentment, but few people will hold ill will against the supermarket boy who shouts "special offer eggs and fresh tomatoes" with a small loudspeaker.Organizations that don't ask for money or power but seek to form a good relationship, what do they do to provoke them?

But she immediately remembered that the Mutual Aid Society had also participated in a certain action in the past.

"The Mutual Aid Association with a grassroots friendly style also participated in the siege of A Ce before."

William waved his hands again and again.

"Hey miss! Do you think we are fierce people who can fight with Mr. Gongsun? If there are too many people in the organization, there will be differences of opinion, but our president is a person who doesn't like to take care of things... He would rather distribute leaflets himself I don’t want to have a meeting with the core members. I have to say that it has nothing to do with most of our members, and the president was the first one to report the incident.”

Gongsun Ce's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the eldest lady reminded her intimately: "Ah Ce, you can talk now."

The gray-haired youth immediately began to chatter.

"Your president is a bastard who goes to the theater! Do you know what he did at that time? He came to me and had a pot of tea with my elder brother, and said very seriously, 'Mr. Mo, Mr. Gongsun, there is something not long in our mutual aid association. The winking little guy wants to trouble you two. I really don't want to care about this. I will steal a specific plan and give you a copy. The two strong men can fight if they want, try not to kill them, just please don't hold grudges against our small organization. 'Just as confidently as the passing idlers!"

The metal skull said with a contorted smile: "Mr. Gongsun, you also understand that our idle mutual aid organization can't help outsiders beat your own family. Those two are dating slowly, and I won't disturb them."

Gongsun Ce coughed violently.

"What date?! Does this look like a date to you?!"

William looked at the two people who had just walked out of the mall, and then looked at the clothes bag in someone's hand, and said with a straight face, "I can't say, I can't say."

After saying this, he immediately ran away and got mixed up with his good brothers not far away.Talking and laughing from the members of the Mutual Aid Association came from far away, "Awesome William! Dare to have a relationship with the devil!" "Has he agreed to join the club?" "He promised to use telekinetic power to strangle you." "Oh my God, I Can't breathe! Guys save me!" "Our forever good slave, Billy, 21, died of shock..." "Fuck you."

Qin Qianbai commented blankly: "The Mutual Aid Association is a strange organization."

Gongsun Ce is still obsessed with the evaluation of the metal skull: "I'm really surprised that they have nothing else in their minds except love."

"It's an order, call me an idiot."

You're an idiot.

Gongsun Ce obeyed obediently: "I'm an idiot."

After saying this, he murmured listlessly: "Miss, tell me, I don't look like the kind of person who can fall in love."

Qin Qianbai's ears moved, but he rarely said a word.

·
The eldest lady is not interested in the recruiting activities of the Mutual Aid Association, so Gongsun Ce is happy to stay away from the place of right and wrong.The Two Wings area has always been the territory of Deathwing. The Mutual Aid Society dares to come here to engage in activities blatantly. It is probably because they have negotiated with the remnants of Deathwing... Or, they simply don’t care about the gangsters who lost their leaders. inside.

What is the real direction?This has nothing to do with Mr. Gongsun.He doesn't want to take the initiative to intervene in the grievances between organizations. Besides, he has more things to worry about now...

"I said, Miss." He asked anxiously, "Where do you want me to go and what to do?"

"go home."

The girl shook the phone at him, and the current time was displayed on the screen: 16:00.Eight hours have passed since I woke up in the morning and saw the girl standing by the bed.

“今天消耗了1/3个24小时。”女孩把手机收回了包里，“剩下的2/3留到下一次再说。”

"Are you really planning to split a day into several uses?!" The superpower's eyes widened, "No, Miss! Although I made this kind of joke, how do I see you with a serious attitude?" You worked hard with the momentum to toss me to death in one breath, why did you change your mind now?!"

No, such a precedent must not be set.A terrifying conjecture appeared in his mind. This time, if he divided a day into three times, next time, should he divide an hour into 60 minutes? !Who knows how far he will be tortured before it is over!

"After serious consideration, I still want to give Ah Ce the freedom to sleep at night."

"You really didn't intend to let me sleep?!"

"Also, I discovered a major problem today..." She shook her head at this point, "Let's talk about it after we get home."

Qin Qianbai stopped talking and followed him silently.

The gray-haired young man's heart skipped a beat. He thought he had made the girl angry again unconsciously, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find any reason.

However, there was a faint chill in my heart, as if I had done something wrong, and an inexplicable weightlessness came from inside my body.It seemed that something invisible was falling down little by little.

·
At 4 p.m. before the traffic jam time, the two returned to their apartment in the Thorn District by bus.Qin Qianbai followed the young man into the room very naturally without asking for his opinion.

She sat on the sofa and looked at herself, her expression didn't change, but she felt as sharp as when she was holding a long knife.

He couldn't understand what the girl was thinking more and more...

If it's just a prank, there's no need to put on such a gesture.Miss, do you want to say something serious?However, she was clearly in high spirits when she went out today, why did she change her attitude?

Gongsun Ce asked a little nervously: "Er...so, what's the matter, miss?"

Qin Qianbai was thinking.

Yesterday, she and Caldesia discussed today's plan together, and various action plans are enough to fill 24 hours to the brim.However, she does not intend to carry out the original plan now.Because in today's battle, she vaguely discovered a new problem...a more difficult problem than "slowness" and "no EQ".

If her conjecture came true, even if the combat time was changed to 48 or 72 hours, the relationship between her and this idiot would probably be difficult to move forward.

"A Ce, answer me a question. This is not an order, just answer as usual."

The gray-haired young man gave an "oh" in surprise, and said, "Then I don't need to tell the truth."

"Well, it's okay to lie."

The girl asked seriously.

"What does Ah Ce think about youth and love?"

·
Youth and love.

This is a question that there is no need to lie, after all, they have already had many related discussions in the small community.

The tight string in Gongsun Ce's heart loosened.He was scared to death, thinking that his best friend was thinking about something terrible again, but it turned out that he was just thinking about his views on life like an adolescent high school student.

"The so-called youth is the time spent with friends. Regardless of whether it is meaningful or not, the happy or awkward trivial things that happen and the process of solving troubles are the taste of youth."

"I don't care if it's meaningful or not, that is to say..." The girl looked straight into his eyes, "It has no practical meaning, and it doesn't matter."

"Life is a difficult time to find meaning, miss." Gongsun Ce said with his face propped up, "Who dares to say that the career he devotes himself wholeheartedly to must have undeniable meaning? When facing big right and wrong— —For example, the dragon disaster or the rampage of superpowers in the city—we can make decisions immediately, which involve the interests of the majority and those who have nothing to do, so there is an indisputable 'right' and 'wrong'."

It is right to protect everyone's life.It is right to fight against disaster.Stopping the dragon plague is right.It is correct to kill the main body of calamity.No matter how eloquent the enemy is, the fundamental correctness will not waver.In the face of "big events", he does not need to consider the existence or non-existence of meaning.The sense of justice, conscience and the beliefs he has always believed in will automatically help him make decisions.

"When it comes to personal life, you can't use the standard of right and wrong, but you need to focus on the existence of meaning. Mr. Gongsun, my daily life is like an ordinary college student, eating, drinking, sleeping, playing and playing. , it’s hard to say that there is any real meaning in it.”

Qin Qianbai knew him very well, so he could feel at ease to confide some frustrating words to others.No one stipulates that people must have a positive attitude towards their own life, right?

Gongsun Ce said leisurely: "I think human beings are the lives that seek untouchable things in a short period of time. It may be dreams, ideals, love, or other things... After finding that thing, or thinking that Those who find it have a different meaning from most people. And more people are like me, living a life without practical meaning.”

"However, meaninglessness is not a sad thing, right? If we want to get to the bottom of it, all the things that human beings cherish will disappear in a few decades or a hundred years. From a macro perspective, human beings have nothing to do with the earth and the universe. It is a tiny creature that is not even considered as dust. Except for a few great men who have influenced human history, most people's lives have no real meaning... This short period of time is bright and fleeting, just as we Youth that will eventually be lost."

He was eloquent, speaking with great enthusiasm, not aware of the weird atmosphere in the room at all, the dark emotions were brought out by his words, and the room was suffocatingly dull.It's like a wine bottle whose cork has been ripped off, and the contents are happily sprayed out, but what is stored in it is not wine, but viscous mud.

Qin Qianbai realized that it would not be a good thing to ask him to elaborate on his outlook on life.She asked straightforward questions without giving the young man any room to think.

"Does Ce think that the time spent with me is also meaningless?"

Gongsun Ce replied without thinking.

"How is it possible! The time spent with you and everyone has an irreplaceable meaning to me."

For a moment, it was difficult for her to understand the young man's words.Just a few minutes ago, this person expressed youthful and meaningless opinions——

"Because, unlike me, you all live meaningful lives."

Gongsun Ce smiled happily and said as usual when chatting.

"——When I get along with you, my meaningless life can be stained with a different bright color."

She was speechless for a moment.I don't know what to say to this man.Your own life is meaningless, so you can only find what you don't have in others.What kind of mentality do you have to calmly say such a self-abuse outlook on life?

This kind of statement is almost like...

She changed the subject abruptly: "Then, what about love?"

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he immediately became energetic.

"Love is a good thing. If there is something that cannot be insulted, it must be the sincere emotion between people, that is, love. Model couples like Shigure-kun and Caldesia--well, not so much Exemplary but loving men and women—there is no doubt a symbol of youth!"

It sounds normal.She believes that Gongsun Ce is not lying, and this man really thinks so.

So, the problem is elsewhere.

She completely abandoned the hint and said in an almost explicit way:
"Ah Ce hasn't thought about love matters?"

"No."

Without hesitation, the gray-haired youth answered.

"If you want to say if you have ever imagined making love to a beautiful girl, Mr. Gongsun, I definitely have. But... Once you seriously consider the possibility of this happening to yourself, you find that it won't work."

He sighed negatively: "Look, I'm not the kind of person suitable for dating. Both Mr. Shi Yu and Big Brother are good men who can bring happiness to girls. I think they should be with good girls. Together, they are really worthy...but I..."

The gray-haired youth summed up flatly.

"I'm not the man who can make girls happy."

·
"I'm not the man who can make girls happy."

After saying this, he secretly added another sentence in his heart.

—Besides, no girl would fall in love with someone like him.

Gongsun Ce stretched himself.He sincerely felt that the concentration of negative energy was a bit high today, and he dared to be blatantly negative for a moment in front of someone who knew everything about the young lady, and he would never say that in front of everyone.

"I'm sorry Miss, you also know that when I'm negative, I lose my head." He said with a smile, "Don't take my meaningless nonsense seriously. You know, sometimes people watch too much animation When you start secondary school, you will become deliberately negative even with your outlook on life...these are all pretentious and pretentious speeches, and you won’t say such things after graduation in a few years.”

Qin Qianbai remained silent, he clasped his hands together nervously: "Please don't say this, Miss. After everyone hears it, I'm afraid they will think that Mr. Gongsun and I have some psychological problems. Then it will be troublesome."

"I won't say it. In exchange, Ah Ce will promise me a condition."

again! ?
"I'm really scared, what are you going to do again?!"

"Stand up and don't move."

Gongsun Ce stood up gasping for air, thinking he might be about to be beaten again.He watched the girl step by step in fear, tightened his abdomen, and closed his eyes——

Unexpectedly, this time there was no pain.

In contrast, there was a soft feeling on his chest.

He opened his eyes in astonishment, and met Qin Qianbai's gaze.The girl stood in front of him, wrapping her hands around his body.They were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Gongsun Ce thought to himself, there is a strange touch in the trough, this kid used to be as flat as an airport, and he has really grown up in the past three years, no, but what the hell is he doing? Could it be that the young lady has developed a new special attack plan? Do you kill with your arms...

"Hey, no, this, I..."

A gentle voice came into his ears.

"Don't give up on yourself."

"No." He retorted habitually, "I didn't..."

"Don't give up on yourself."

He opened his mouth, swallowed a lot of words he had thought of, and responded in a low voice: "...OK."

"promised?"

"I'll try my best, okay?"

"Yeah." The girl looked at him and said, "It's very rude for a man to do nothing at such a time."

Gongsun Ce raised his hands in embarrassment, and hugged him back symbolically.

"I don't think it's really good to hug... oh..."

He remembered that he had hugged him after the battle before, and it wasn't the first time.So I used this to comfort myself, and finally hugged it back, while still muttering: "I still don't feel so good..."

"You should thank me for being merciful." The girl in her arms hit him with the head. "In the future, no cute girl like me will take the initiative to hug you."

"Ah?! Damn, will it be gone in the future?!"

Qin Qianbai looked at him with blank eyes: "A Ce looks like a pity."

"No, I didn't mean that! I meant..."

"Sure enough, you like this feeling very much. Could it be that Ah Ce also wants to hug me?"

"Absolutely not."

"lie."

"...Don't laugh! Promise me not to laugh! I admit that I occasionally have the urge to hug you."

The young man who had just promised not to give up on himself shouted at this moment.
