Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 129 Ninja

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the minivan drove the two into Cangshou District.They first entered an underground garage located in a remote place, and then walked for about 20 minutes through the secret passage in the garage.And when the car finally drove out of the channel, a green-painted modified plane was already within sight of the passengers.

"I know they like biochemical technology." Gongsun Ce said with a black face, "but is it necessary for them to make the plane green?"

"The name of this plane is Lightning Caterpillar." Shi Yulian said seriously, "I heard that the designer put his childhood dream on it, so he insisted on giving it a special livery."

Shigure Rei's voice was [-]% empty and twice as sure.

"People in the capital of the sky have problems with their brains."

It's all facts without a trace of prejudice, and there is no reason to refute it.

The two investigators got out of the car wearing long trench coats and carrying suitcases. Gongsun Ce looked at the driver affectionately and said, "Brother, if I don't come back, remember to smash the computer for me and smash it physically."

"I will." Shi Yulian added in his heart, I will bring this sentence to Qin Qianbai.He watched the two walk towards the plane not far away, and silently activated the ability.

(Don't worry, Gongsun. Sister Zero hates Zero Island and the Research Institute the most, and the capital of the sky and you are not worth mentioning before the hatred in her heart.)
Gongsun Ce was not surprised.Shigure Rei, who regards himself as more important than anyone else, accepts the collar that restricts freedom.This is enough to see how much she wants to make an end to the past with her own hands.

(She never hated me, what should I worry about?)

Gongsun Ce waved his hand back, then turned his head and asked, "Then the mission has officially started now...Miss Shiyu, at least before returning to the capital of the sky, let's get along with each other wearing masks, shall we?"

The blue-haired woman replied in surprise: "What are you talking about, boy? Shi Yu is clearly the target of this mission. You're joking again, big sister, I can't even remember this bit of information wrong..."

She acted like the day we first met, put one hand on Gongsun Ce's shoulder, and said playfully, "Besides, aren't we good partners to join hands to prevent the dragon disaster from coming in February?"

I have to admit that now it is your psychological quality that is even better.

"Needless to say? It's a pleasure to work with you again, Ms. Hunter."

"Me too, psychic~"

·
The boarding ladder was retracted, engulfing Alice Adar and Gongsun Ce in the belly of the Lightning Caterpillar.There were 20 pairs of pulleys under this modified plane with a unique name, and it crawled on the runway like a big caterpillar, leaving transparent traces all over the ground, and finally jumped into the sky and went straight to the sky.

Mr. Shi Yu looked up at the caterpillars in the sky and felt that the mission was ill-fated.

"Well, let's go." A man came to the car without a sound, "Zero Island is an interesting place, and I haven't been there for several years."

"Hello, Mr. Ming Ke." Shi Yulian saluted respectfully, "Are you going out too?"

Ming Ke looked very relaxed.He was carrying a shopping bag in his hand, which contained swimming trunks, goggles and beach shoes.

"I want to go diving in the Nanyang Islands." Ming Ke said happily, "Do you want to come together?"

If the companion is not Mingke but Caldesia, Shi Yulian thinks that he will be tempted.

"Thank you..." he sighed, "but I have my own mission too."

·
The bump when the lightning caterpillar set off was so great that Gongsun Ce had to use telekinetic power to fix the two of them on the seat.

Neither of the two good partners really wanted to sit together, so there was an entire aisle between his seat and Shigure Rei's seat.Gongsun Ce inserted the chip given by his friend into his mobile phone, and muttered: "Now is the time to explain the background of the mission... Then we can rush over to kill the enemy with swords, guns and clubs."

Shi Yuling stabbed: "Do you still need weapons?"

Let me make an analogy.

After the data chip was scanned, Gongsun Ce's phone screen was occupied by a ui similar to a live broadcast room.The pink-haired girl smiled and waved on the screen, and pulled out a bubble-shaped dialog box: [(*-)☆The data has been read!Do you need an audio guide? 】

He glanced at Shi Yuling beside him, and quickly typed back: [Thank you for your kindness, I can just read the text. 】

[(·ω·`) Oh oh. 】

Qi Luo hid at the edge, and the content displayed on the screen was replaced by a large amount of text.Gongsun Ce briefly read it, combined with the common sense he had learned in high school geography class, and made a brief summary.

·
Zero Island is an island country located in the east of the Everlight Empire. Its current total area is about 40 square kilometers. According to statistics at the beginning of this year, its total population is 370.

The earliest written record of Zero Island in the world appeared in the "Different Islands" of the book "Overseas Geography". The imperial seafarers more than 200 years ago recorded this:

"...the land is mountainous and dangerous, with few fields and plains. There are no rare treasures, and there are often dragon disasters.

...The barbarians are stupid, uncivilized, speak differently, and promote spirits and ghosts.

... There is nothing to choose, so it is called Zero Island. "

To express this passage in an easy-to-understand way, it is that this island has many mountains and few plains, rare things can’t be seen, and dragon disasters often occur; the local savages talk about gods and gods, and they don’t speak the language of the empire; no matter how you look at it, it is not a suitable place to live. It's a good place, but there's nothing redeeming about it, so it's called Zero Island.

This record has a great subjective element and time limitations.In fact, Zero Island is rich in natural resources. There are abundant aquatic resources backed by the sea, and there are many rare minerals in the deep mountains. The locals have formed civilization and religious worship before the arrival of the imperial fleet. How stupid--you know when Morton's savages were still fighting in skirts, and Ursts' savages were still figuring out how to fight grizzly bears.

But there is one point in the ancient books of the empire that is right, that is, Zero Island is indeed a broken place.

This place is plagued by dragons, and giant dragons come every few years.The locals who have struggled to survive the phenomenon of giant dragons worship dragons as moody gods, so the phenomenon of giant dragons is called the god of uncleanness and god of disaster in Zero Island.

The phenomenon of giant dragons that come frequently has brought about extremely large-scale damage to reality, making Zero Island have a variety of inhuman and wonderful creatures since ancient times.These creatures are as elusive as ghosts and elves, and they often move in areas far away from human settlements, so they are called hidden gods.

Legend has it that a very small number of Hidden Gods have goodwill towards the locals. They helped the people of Zero Island through the most difficult time, and they were honored as Zhishen.

The terrible god of misfortune, the hidden god of hiding, and the friendly god of straightness, these three types of gods are an important part of the local beliefs of Zero Island, and they are collectively called 800 million gods.

Due to the ubiquitous primitive beliefs, religious organizations that worship the gods and interpret the will of the gods have great power in Zero Island, and they are the actual ruling class.After the arrival of the empire, the local religious forces on Zero Island were further strengthened: the Eternal Light Empire brought a technology called impermanence, which made the gods and witches truly have powers different from ordinary people.

The impermanent law envoys in Zero Island were born in an extremely strong mythological atmosphere. They defended the country and slayed dragons, sacrificed to gods, and had overwhelming dominance over the secular regime.All the impermanent law envoys of Zero Island in the early days acted under the leadership of the same organization. This is the oldest and most powerful impermanence association in Zero Island: Qiyao Shinto.

The Qiyao Shinto technique originated from exchanges with the empire, and received a lot of help from imperial experts during the development process. Therefore, Zero Island under the Qiyao Shinto rule has a very close relationship with the distant mainland. There are often cultural differences between the two countries. Communication, talent circulation.

The situation on Zero Island has gone through 1500 years in such a stable atmosphere... until 1709 in the Eternal Light Calendar, when the Disaster of Void Light came to Zero Island.

This dragon disaster completely changed the appearance of Zero Island, and made this country move towards an unimaginable development direction.

Before the Void Disaster came, Zero Island was a complete crescent-shaped island with a total area of ​​about 52 square kilometers, making it the second largest island in the world at that time.And after the Netherlight Dragon left this land, Zero Island lost more than one-fifth of its land, and the complete crescent was cut into three small islands, and each island became an island with the power of the dragon. It looked like it had nothing to do with it before.

The local religious forces suffered an unprecedented blow in the Disaster of Void Light, and the foundation of Qiyao Divine Dao was greatly damaged.And another group of neglected people took this opportunity to board the stage of Zero Island. They are warriors who have been suppressed by Shinto forces for many years, businessmen who have never had great power, and serve all high-ranking people, but hide themselves Ninjas from the dark side.

Warriors, merchants, and ninjas, the important figures of the three forces concluded a covenant during this period, and a new organization born from the ancient soil appeared.

This is the official organization that still dominates Island Zero to this day...

Wuhui Junfeng!

Summarized here, Gongsun Ce thinks he needs more details.

"Excuse me, Miss Alice?"

The hunter next door snorted.

"I have a point that is really hard to understand..." Gongsun Ce pushed down his glasses, "Why did the empire directly teach the law of impermanence to the people of Zero Island at that time? Isn't this too generous?"

The method of impermanence is a technology developed for the phenomenon of giant dragons. According to conventional thinking, how could this technology be easily handed over to foreign forces?Even if they are not allowed to bow their heads and surrender, they will have to use a lot of rare treasures and other resources in exchange for places to study.

Alice rolled her eyes: "You are still a member of the empire, and you even forgot the basic national policy that your Eternal Light Empire has been talking about for 2000 years?"

Gongsun Ce replied without thinking: "Unite all forces around the emperor, cast the eternal glory of human civilization, and move towards complete victory in the fight against the dragon."

Even kindergarten kids can recite these words.

Alice boredly flipped through the magazine in front of her seat: "Don't you understand? That's what the imperial people did in ancient times. They really believed that dragon slaying was the cause of all mankind, so every time they went to a new place, they would do it in the same way. The local area left a special person to teach the knowledge of impermanence to the aborigines, and the post of 'pedestrian' at the lower level of the ceremony hall evolved from this incident."

The blue-haired woman began popularizing science enthusiastically: "Let me tell you, the ancient pedestrians have been to more than Zero Island. The law of impermanence in the Nanyang Islands was taught by the imperial people during the second great open period. The most interesting thing is Do you know how they came from Urstes' impermanence?"

The corners of Gongsun Ce's eyes twitched, and once again he remembered the joke the principal said in the elective class.

"I remember that the first contact between the Ustsgu tribe and the empire was...war?"

"That's right, the dragon disaster came when the troops on both sides fought halfway, and the war ended. As a result, during the peace talks between the two sides after the war, Emperor Yongguang said that the war in the world is over, and now the great empire will teach you how to resist the dragon. Mysterious technology." Alice was beaming, "When I first heard this, I felt so outrageous, they really did it!"

One dared to teach and the other dared to learn, which made Gongsun Ce sincerely lament that the ancients thousands of years ago were honest and simple, repaying evil with virtue.In today's world, not to mention the emperor, even the monitor of a key high school class wouldn't be so careless.

"I remember that the emperor at that time was Xing'an Emperor Chiyuhuang, and he was a generation of Mingjun in the history books."

"The records in the history books are not wrong. Emperor Xing'an didn't give it away in vain, he negotiated the terms. It's a pity that the gentlemen of Yongguang didn't expect the way the barbarians would use their moves, and they really tricked them. Us The word Tes was the stalk that came out of that peace talk..."

Halfway through Alice's speech, seeing Gongsun Ce's expression, she suddenly came to her senses.She turned her head and cut it: "I told you what to do!"

Don't you enjoy yourself.

Thinking about it carefully, Alice Adar has always been a good teacher, and a considerable part of his basic knowledge of impermanence comes from the other party's explanation.The gray-haired young man once again sighed, it would be great if Alice was always Alice.

"Just do some science for your teammates. After all, the two of us have to act together. I'm making a joke of common sense, and you don't have a good face, right?"

"Hiss... you..."

This sentence subtly touched Shigure Rei's pain point, making her seriously entangled.

The person with super powers took the opportunity to ask: "Tell me more about Zero Island? For example, ninja, I always thought that this is a profession that only exists in novels and comics."

The word ninja brought an immediate response, and Alice said without thinking, "Ninjas are a bunch of weirdos."

What is it like to have a career that makes you call it a weirdo?

Alice said with a headache: "First of all, they speak strangely, and their way of thinking is even more... I don't know what to say, you will understand when you see a real ninja."

At this moment, a calm male voice came from the end of the aisle.

"—About the introduction of the ninja, please let Buzai come down to do it."

The gray-haired youth looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in a white pilot uniform walking out of the cockpit.

"Good evening, both of you. I am the captain of this flight, Takuya Mouri. The technology of the sky capital is actually superb. The Lightning Caterpillar has switched to autopilot. Please be at ease."

While introducing himself, the middle-aged captain thoughtfully delivered words of reassurance: "The so-called ninja is an impermanence unique to Zero Island. Ninjas have mastered karate, judo, swordsmanship, hidden weapons, sumo, poison killing, etc. There are countless ways to kill people, and at the same time, they also have expert-level attainments in impermanence—he is a ruthless killer!"

Gongsun Ce nodded cooperatively: "It seems that ninjas are very powerful."

"Exactly! This trip of the two of you will definitely be hostile to Wuhui Junfeng, and the ninja is the strongest combat force under the organization." The captain stretched out a scroll, pointed to the stick figures on it and introduced them one by one, "Wuhui ·Junfeng divides ninjas into the following three grades, the hundred-refined ninjas in the enlightened and clear state, the thousand-refined ninjas in the supernatural state, and the soul-cut ninjas who have reached the manifestation state."

Captain Maori glanced at the blue-haired woman, and said decisively, "As the leader of the ninja army, the soul cut ninja is stronger than Shigure in terms of comprehensive risk assessment!"

Alice sneered and didn't comment, but Gongsun Ce agreed with a smile: "Ninjas are very strong!"

"Exactly, ninjas are strong!" Maori replied seriously, "And life is very important! Because of this, I can't just sit back and watch you, who don't even understand the basics, go to Zero Island in an almost rookie state!"

Gongsun Ce unfastened his seat belt and stood in the aisle.

"If you have any suggestions, please let me know."

"Very happy."

The air beside Captain Maori was slightly distorted by energy fluctuations.The orange-yellow color that appeared from nothingness turned into strips of cloth under the guidance of inner strength, arms and visor... into an orange-yellow ninja outfit with flame tattoos!
Within 0.1 seconds, which is difficult to detect with the naked eye, the captain in uniform disappeared.What appeared instead of him was a real ninja equipped with mind-arms!
The ninja in the orange-yellow ninja suit clasped his hands together, bowed forward, and performed a sacred greeting before the battle with the etiquette that the leader of the ninja army could not fault.

"domo, demon=san. I am a thousand-forged ninja belonging to Junfeng, a former martial arts club, mad fire!"

With just this greeting, he completely believed Miss Alice's introduction.

...Ninjas are weirdos.

　(Due to personal interest, there will be a little pinching him from "Ninja Slayer" in the Zero Island chapter, but basically it will only appear during greetings and will not involve the plots in other works. Please read it with peace of mind.)
