Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 229 Under the Moon
Three years ago, the capital of the sky.

With all the strength in his body, someone sneaked in the ground.

Use the only superpower you are proud of on the shameful thing of escaping.

The liver and gallbladder are split, and the soul flies away.The enemies chasing after him were completely beyond his imagination.

It’s ridiculous.

It couldn't be attacked no matter what, couldn't be hurt no matter what, even the powerful seniors fell one by one.Hidden under that human skin are real monsters.That ruthless fighting figure is simply like the evil ghost in mythology.

"Huh...huh...hah!"

Someone got out of the ground, panting heavily.The moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the tinkling sound of the metal earrings he had just bought in the afternoon woke him up from his panic.Did you escape? You should have escaped.It was so late, and with the help of the night, he should be able to escape.Even if it is a monster, it shouldn't be able to chase it to this point...

He gradually adapted to the dark environment.

Then, he involuntarily widened his eyes.

The pupils narrowed like needles due to excessive tension, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat.Because of everything he saw in front of him, because of the figure with his back turned.

"how come."

Weak, powerless, unbelievably vocal.

"why--!"

The man turned around.That was undoubtedly the face he had seen not long ago——

In an instant, the world turned upside down.

Everything in the field of vision is occupied by bright red.

·
The unbearable high temperature, suffocating dullness, and the heat wave made the air appear strangely distorted.

Cicada outside the window screamed weakly, venting his energy at the end of summer, turning the few remaining lives into noise under the scorching sun.

The air conditioner in the house vibrated and made an ominous sound.The green light that marked the operation was off, and the air-conditioning gradually faded.In less than 5 minutes, the room no longer feels cool and cool, and it is as sultry as a street under the scorching sun.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines on the boy's face.

"..."

He didn't make a sound, lying in the hot room, letting the sweat soak through his clothes, and letting the light burn his retinas.

Just staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, like a dead body.

Hum, hum.The phone next to the pillow vibrated.

Gongsun Ce remained motionless.He is still lying on the bed.

Hum, hum.The unconnected connection continued, and the vibration kept ringing, just as stubborn as that person's character.

If Gongsun Ce is not aware of it.

Finally, the phone stopped moving and the contact gave up.

The gray-haired boy was still looking at the ceiling, without the look of a living creature in his eyes.Those eyes gazed into the not-so-distant past, at the ruined city in the distance.

Close your eyes and you will fall into a dream.Dreaming of seven bell towers and evil dragons, the black sword that cuts everything.

When you open your eyes, you will fall into memories.Seeing the crystallization of the flooded city, sad and suffering people.

It's not that he deliberately ignored other people's contact, he just didn't hear the voice and couldn't recognize the reality in front of him.

where is he?Is it in the capital of the sky?Or, still in the mist of Superbia, in that catastrophe...

By the way, he should still be in Superbia.Gongsun Ce thought in a daze.

There is no reason.He shouldn't have come back.With so many people dead and he was alive, there was no reason for this to happen.

He must have died.

The current dream-like and confused situation is a short and long phantom before death...

"—A Ce!"

The familiar voice exploded in my ears like thunder.Gongsun Ce's body trembled, and all of a sudden, the dreamlike hallucinatory feeling dissipated, and someone's voice made his vision clear, and he returned to reality.

"Ah." He said inarticulately, "I am here.

He reached out and fumbled for a long time, and grabbed the phone.The eldest brother's face appeared on the screen.His beautiful hair was all black now, and it looked strange.

"What's the matter, big brother?"

"What's the matter? I called you so many times and you didn't answer, so I couldn't hack directly. What are you doing?!"

made a call?did not hear.

Speaking of which, it was very hot in the room.

"Sorry. I didn't hear that."

His voice was extremely hoarse when he spoke.Throat dry as if scorched.It seemed like he hadn't spoken for a long time.I can't remember when was the last time I spoke.

"I'm fine. Brother, don't worry."

The long-haired young man on the screen sighed wearily.

"Ace, it's been more than a week since you came back."

"what."

"You've been home all this time?"

"what."

unconsciously answered.probably.It seems that the door has not been opened for a long time.

"You go out for a walk." The eldest brother said seriously, "Cut your hair, have a meal, do whatever you want, even fight, don't stay at home anymore, you're like a dead man!"

"Oh." Nodding.However, there was no movement from the bed.

Mo Yuankai rubbed his forehead, as if he wanted to roar, but he restrained his voice, just sighed again.

"Would the Dawn Knight want to see you like this?"

"..."

Gongsun Ce blinked and fell silent.

Just when Mo Yuankai was about to speak again, he heard a voice.

"Elandia...will mercilessly reprimand me in her usual way."

——Don’t dare to look directly at the life in front of you, and refuse to face the difficulties around you. We call this emotion cowardice.

Her voice sounded beside her ear.Has she said this before?There doesn't seem to be, but it's easy to imitate her tone.That person's thinking is always straightforward.Praise the good and reject the evil; admit the true and reject the false.

"I will go out for a walk." Gongsun Ce rolled his eyes with difficulty, looking at his room, "The room is so hot. My air conditioner is broken. I have to find a way to fix it."

"Then you have something to do now." Mo Yuankai smiled, "Go quickly, complete your main task, and go out for a walk."

"Okay, I'm going to fix the air conditioner. I'll go after washing my face."

Gongsun Ce forced a smile and turned off the video call.He wanted to get out of bed, he couldn't stand firmly, and subconsciously wanted to release his strength.But what gushes out is not the familiar thought power, but an unfamiliar white substance.

"……what."

As a matter of course, he lost control of this power.The pure white substance poured out continuously, covering the entire bedroom in an instant, and lifted his bed up.

With a muffled bang, he was hit by a huge amount of generated matter against the wall, looking as embarrassed as a newcomer awakening super powers for the first time.Gongsun Ce reached out and slapped his hands indiscriminately, trying his best to control his new ability.

"Eliminate. Undo! Go back!! Receive!!!"

I don't know which command had the effect, and the white matter disappeared as abruptly as it appeared.Gongsun Ce sat down on the ground, his bed and table were ruined in a mess during the commotion just now, the wall was falling down, and the whole house seemed to have been visited by a demolition team.

"what……"

He tried a few times, managed to make an ugly crutch, and supported himself towards the bathroom.He was taken aback by the person in the mirror.

Pale skin, bloodshot eyes, beard that hasn't been shaved for a long time, and that strange gray hair...

Who is this messy and sloppy man?is it him?Is it Gongsun Ce?
He rubbed his hair vigorously, only then remembered that his hair color had changed.

"My God."

boom!The crutch in his hand suddenly extended, pushing him back and staggering.The white substance stood in the bathroom like a load-bearing column, shattering the overhead light and scattering glass shards on the boy's face.

"...Oh my God."

Gongsun Ce repeated weakly.

·
The weather was too hot, so Gongsun Ce took a cold bath.He shaved hastily to look presentable.

"clothing……"

Gongsun Ce used his telekinetic force to open the closet strangely, and subconsciously took out the outfit he was used to wearing.A strong suit with black background and gold pattern and a black and red cloak.He threw the clothes into the cabinet with his hands and said to himself, "Like an idiot."

After searching for a long time, he finally found a relatively normal outfit: dark blue shirt and gray trousers.Gongsun Ce realized that he had to buy more clothes, and he couldn't keep dressing up as before.

Cleaning with telekinetics took some time.When he opened the door, the sky was about to turn black.The setting sun shines on the evening city, covering the buildings and trees with an orange-red color.

Gongsun Ce stared blankly ahead.The openness of stepping out of the door after a long time made him forget his purpose for a moment, and he just stood in the corridor speechless.

"Hey, are you... Gongsun Ce?! How did you become like this?"

At this time, a slightly familiar greeting came to my ears.Gongsun Ce moved his eyes and saw the gray hair coming out of the stairs.A hunchbacked old woman leaned on a cane and climbed up the stairs, walking like flying, looking at him suspiciously.Gongsun Ce had an impression of her. This was the old lady Wu who lived in the building next door. Every morning, she set up a stall downstairs to sell breakfast.

"It's no fun to always wear a suit, I want to change my image." Gongsun Ce smiled awkwardly, "Grandma Wu, don't you live next door? Why are you still climbing the stairs?"

"Hey, there is a power outage in our area today, and it needs to be repaired all night! There must be another child fighting." The old lady shook her head angrily.

Gongsun Ce understood when he heard it.The entire block was cut off, and the refrigerator where the old lady stored ingredients could not escape.She came to this building in a hurry, most likely to ask Xiao Zhang upstairs for help - that child just entered junior high school this year, and his super power is to sit on the bench to cool off the air conditioner.

Gongsun Ce nodded: "Shall I take you up?"

"No! You can still climb stairs at this age."

Like every talkative old man in his age, the old lady chatted with him for a long time, from clothing and hair color to studying, talking about vacations, and finally talking about the room next to him.

"Do you know that Cao Hong who lived next door to you has moved?"

"I haven't noticed yet."

"Only two days ago, the big and small bags were dragged away, not even the sofa was left." The old lady frowned, "That brat doesn't do business every day, and he might use this empty room to deceive people again."

"You are right." Gongsun Ce gently reminded, "By the way, you came to my building because..."

"Hey! My freezer! Stop talking, stop talking!"

The old lady hurried upstairs, and soon after she heard the conversation between her and the young man upstairs.Gongsun Ce locked the door, jumped out of the corridor, and slowly floated to the ground.

Mindfulness is more convenient at this time.

After a long time of trouble, the air conditioner is not broken, it is because of a power outage.He picked a direction at random and walked aimlessly as if completing a task.

Anyway, there was nothing to do.

There are no tasks.no companions.Nothing has to be done.There are no dreams that have to be fulfilled.

There is an empty soul in a sound body, and what is the difference between such a person and a walking dead.Elandia would not want to see him like this.But so what?Anyway, people live for themselves.

He began to doubt the meaning of his trip.The elder brother told him to come out for a walk so that he would not be depressed anymore... But even if he cheered up, so what?

The familiar feeling of emptiness came again, rising continuously in my heart.In the final analysis, his life is as much as his ability.

Meaningless.

·
Tired from walking, I randomly found a strange restaurant to eat.

I went to the convenience store to buy some cold drinks, drank two bottles, then crushed the bottles with telekinesis, and threw them away.

Dragging his tired body, he walked under the light of street lamps.

Is he on his way home?Or have you left the thorny area?I can't tell...

I don't know since when, I can't see the lights.I can't see anyone other than myself on the street.Did he unknowingly step into a hallucination again?
Faintly, there was an unusual smell at the end of his nose.It is out of place with the peaceful streets and should not appear in the background.

That's right, Gongsun Ce thought in a daze, he must have seen the past again.

But that's good, let's move forward with the hallucination, maybe we can see more scenes.You will be able to see the reality after the illusion, and see your own death.

Gongsun Ce quickened his pace and followed the source of the smell.Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and everything in front of me could not be seen clearly.So he used invisible forces as tentacles, sensing the way in the darkness.

"call……"

Walking briskly, he deviated from the right path unknowingly and came to an alley.The strange smell is getting stronger and stronger, like the smell of rust, at the end of the narrow alley——

At this time, Gongsun Ce stepped on the empty space.

No, that is an illusion.The feet are still stepping on something, but it is not the ground, but something as thin as air and as sticky as mud.The right foot sank deep below the surface, as if swallowed by darkness.

"what……"

Relying on eyes barely adapted to the darkness, Gongsun Ce observed his feet.There is nothing wrong with perception.The ground turned into something weird like sludge.Not only the ground, but also the walls, showing distortions like plasticine, the air literally becoming liquid, breathing like water.Some kind of wet liquid seeped into the twisted ground, exuding a strong sense of presence, attracting his attention.

Unusual smell.With a rust-like fishy smell.

Ominous, the smell of blood.

He raised his head slowly, following the source of the blood flow.The dark clouds are drifting, and the moon is gradually revealed.As the white light shines down, he gradually gets a glimpse of the whole picture.

hair.nail.Broken arm.Torn pieces of meat.Broken bones.Internal organs spilled in blood.

The lives that were once human beings were piled together viciously after death, becoming indistinguishable pieces of flesh.

A horrible corpse, as if attacked by a large beast.

At the forefront of that piece of dark red.

She stood still.

"..."

That is, a girl like the night.

An ordinary short-sleeved short skirt like a schoolgirl, waterfall-like black hair scattered behind her head, and a long-handled black knife that does not match her figure is held in her indistinctly strong right hand.

She stood in front of countless corpses, in a pool of blood, as if unaware, with her back to the young man who inadvertently intruded.She is obviously a slender girl, but she blends into this bloody night scene without any sense of disobedience...

It looks like a ghost in human form, independent of hell.

"you--"

Subconsciously, Gongsun Ce made a sound.

The dark clouds completely dispersed, she looked back under the bright full moon, and turned around in the pool of corpses and blood.There is no trace of vitality that belongs to a living person on the puppet-like delicate face, exuding a strange temperament like a man-made object.

No emotions could be felt, no expressions could be seen, only the momentary beauty and moonlight were engraved into the young man's mind, making him forget to breathe.

The girl raised her left arm wordlessly.

Then, black lightning took over the field of vision.

There was a sharp tingling sensation on the side of the neck, as if being bitten by a poisonous snake.

Gongsun Ce lost consciousness.
