Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 249

The night was getting dark, and the interior of the Calliope Guild Hall was brightly lit. The bright lights illuminated the dark land through the glass windows, and reflected the huge glass painting on the lawn in a slightly deformed manner.With her back facing the fire, Qin Qianbai walked past luxury cars that did not belong to her, and walked towards the dark night with no one on her legs, her thin back seemed a little lonely.

Perhaps it was because school hadn't started yet, but there was no one on the campus at night.Fortunately, she remembered the way she came here, so she could go back the same way and take a taxi back to her home.

Qin Qianbai walked quietly for a while, and arrived at the main road of the campus illuminated by street lights.This is a ramp, the Calliope Hall is located on the side road above the ramp, and at the end of the main road is the teaching building.The students of this school have to climb from the bottom to the top every day to go to school, like climbing a mountain.

There was a bright silver car under the streetlight, and the brown-haired boy stood beside his car with a troubled expression on his face.

Qin Qianbai thought it was strange, because there was only one road from the guild hall to this place that she had just walked.Maybe Aurus used a secret passage, or a super power to shift the location.

"Miss Chin, I promised you could leave anytime... but I mean I'll drive you back. No man in Usters is going to watch a lady walk a block away on two feet , no matter how powerful she is."

Qin Qianbai stopped where he was, and said as if stating the facts.

"You seem very considerate."

Aurus smelled a hint of hostility in these words.He pretended to be ignorant, and was about to open the car door: "In my home country, this is the basic quality that men should have. Maybe I—"

"Miss Keleiya likes you." Qin Qianbai interrupted him coldly, as abruptly as a long knife cutting a knot.

Aurus really didn't seem to expect her to bring it up all of a sudden.He looked a little embarrassed: "...Sorry, this is a private matter between us."

Qin Qianbai talked to himself, not paying attention to his reaction at all.

"Her love for you is clear at a glance, even I can feel it when I just met. Unless it is a clumsy and stunned man like in the story book, there will never be someone who spends day and night without noticing her intentions.

You are by no means stupid, Aurus Ultimis.You know what's going on in other people's minds, you know the thoughts of everyone around you, but your performance tonight blew me away. "

Aurus immediately understood the source of this hostility.This child seemed to have never attended similar occasions at all, she was a complete novice!He explained slowly, with a hint of a smile that couldn't help.

"I think you misunderstood, Miss Qin. This is a welcome party, and we all need a little skill to mobilize our emotions. This is not a temporary idea, but a well-prepared performance, which is jointly decided by Claire and me."

Qin Qianbai's eyes became colder.

"You told a disgraceful past in front of the public, and shared her story with so many people. It is true that you have reached out to her, but this should not be said to outsiders. How embarrassing it is for a person ?Your generosity is shining in the light, where should her face be placed?
Miss Claire agreed to this proposal, because she loves and adores you, she can throw away her face for you.But if you really cared about her feelings, you shouldn't make such a show. "

The brown-haired boy leaned against the car and explained in a teacher-like tone: "I think this is a little cultural difference. We don't mind sharing each other's privacy. There are no outsiders in our organization. Everyone will tell each other's past, like understanding brothers We understand each other like sisters, and that brings us together."

Qin Qianbai remembered someone's words.She repeated it in exactly the same tone.

"It takes corresponding qualifications to step into the hearts of others." She added the second half of the sentence on her own initiative, "If you lose the basic distance, how can you respect each other? I still have one thing I don't know, I hope you can answer it. Why did the man I met yesterday apologize to me?"

Aurus spread his hands: "Sorry for their rudeness."

"Why did they lose their manners? Wasn't it me who made the mistake in a hurry?" Qin Qianbai was aggressive, "They expected you, the leader, to vent their anger on them, but you asked them to apologize to me just to please me. Even death A rough and dull villain like Yi knows how to save a little face for his brother, but you, an elite of noble origin, don't have the slightest care for your subordinates."

Aurus' face became serious, he frowned, and said in a tone almost dissuading: "You are thinking of everything as a bad thing, this may be the influence of the environment. In fact..."

Qin Qianbai shook his head regretfully, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

"If you really cared about the minds of your subordinates, you would have put me aside long ago and communicated with them who have been neglected." The girl said, "But in your eyes, the me who met for the first time is more important than them .Aulus Utimes, you have eyes for people. But you only see people's talents, but you don't care about their hearts. Your tirade is full of nonsense."

Aurus asked, seemingly puzzled, "I don't think I—"

Qin Qianbo couldn't bear it any longer: "Warriors still know how to focus on cultivating the mind and ignoring skills. Isn't it weird to do the opposite when educating people? Wonderful skills and ingenuity are all trivial details, and the most important thing is to preach and teach. I watched Everyone, one of the three is younger than me. Such a young man has not developed a mind, does not understand the truth, and does not even know how to behave. How can he talk about great career ideals? Your words make them think they are self-righteous, and they are really misleading their children."

The brown-haired boy raised his teacher-like posture and said in his charming voice: "Miss Qin, mental maturity is not necessarily related to age. It is not uncommon for ordinary families to take on important responsibilities early, let alone me. What about superpowers? Maybe you underestimated their abilities!"

"It is true that a small number of young talents have adult brains in childhood, but that kind of genius is still a minority in the world. How can it be possible that all the guests here are geniuses?" Qin Qianbai became more and more unhappy, "The number of people outside the banquet hall So what about a million people? Those ordinary students who just want to find a safe place to survive in the chaos, but can't get in your eyes, how will they live in the world you imagined?"

"Everyone has strengths, and they will get the right tasks and jobs," Aurus said softly.

"Wishful thinking, nonsense, you never cared about what other people think."

Qin Qianbai believed that she had really seen this young man clearly, and she didn't want to argue with him anymore.

"Aurus Otimis, you have commented on my friend, so I will also talk about you in my eyes."

She took a step back, put her hands behind her back, and walked slowly like a teacher.

"Aulus was born noble, well-read and knowledgeable, young and talented. Good at understanding people, ambitious, generous-hearted, cherishes good talents, seems to be righteous, and likes to spare money. He is powerful, famous, thoughtful, and inherits the wishes of the people. Xiang, with a glib tongue and the support of everyone, is indeed a hero.

However, he observes people's hearts without compassion, knows good deeds but does not do them, repays kindness with plans, and promotes righteousness for personal gain.Bully the superior and flatter the inferior, bully the strong and bully the weak, what a gentleman will not do!Therefore, his heart is cold and his feelings have nothing in common.Although there are no evil thoughts in the heart, goodness does not exist either. "

Qin Qianbai looked directly into the young man's eyes and said the final conclusion.

"Not a villain, but a hypocrite!"

After saying that, she walked away and disappeared into the night.

Aurus stood there silently, holding the door handle, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then calmed down, as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

The girl had long since disappeared, but he had no intention of turning around and returning to his venue.Aurus looked forward speechlessly until a voice sounded from behind him.

"She's a tough bitch, huh?" the man said, "Relax, Supreme Crown. This is your car, if you don't want it, you can give it to me."

Badman Ives appeared on the spot without anyone noticing it, giving his car a lift.

Aurus moved his fingers slowly, like a pianist before a performance. He looked at Deathwing's deputy, and said with a smile, "Good evening, Badman. Is the escaping technique useful?"

"It's okay, it's easy to walk. Don't worry, I just came! I saw her face when I came here, and I guess she must have made you very unhappy." Badman smiled rudely, "Well, O Ruth? A failed date? Or do you want to do your usual tricks on her and call you God like the other idiots in Lightcore?"

"How exactly? I'm surprised to see you here... I don't remember sending Deathwing an invitation to collaborate in advance."

Badman twitched the corner of his mouth, he understood the meaning of the young master's words.

"No problem, Deathwing will cooperate with you, and I will make the boss happy to cooperate with you." He stood in front of Aurus, rubbing his fingers exaggeratedly, "But you know, cooperation is something that both parties have to pay. "

"what do you want?"

"Clear this case for me. Evidence, a scapegoat, an alibi, a wording that will convince the boss, and a non-disclosure agreement. Work together until your project is over."

Aurus looked down at his watch.

"If I'm going to pay so much for a collaboration that takes less than two weeks, why don't I have a face-to-face meeting with John Garcia?"

Badman increased his strength, and he pinched a hole on the top of the car.

"What do you want?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"It's up to me to choose the scapegoat, and I think our partnership can last much longer. Even though we were enemies once, that doesn't stop us from being friends for a long time to come"

Aurus was more than capable, he grasped the predator's weakness.One wrong step, one wrong step, this person has nowhere to escape, and apart from Aurus Otimemis, Badman can no longer find another person who is willing to help him and has the ability to help him.

"Think carefully, Badman." Aurus reminded mockingly, "Once a choice is made, there is no turning back."

Badman snarled ferociously: "You rubbish! Fuck! Okay, listen to you, but I want you to provide new abilities, not only now, but also in the future. I can no longer use this damned dungeon!"

Aurus stretched out his hand in satisfaction: "Maybe you should call me another name."

"Fuck you fake bitch," Badman yelled. "You're not good enough to be my boss."

Aurus didn't care at all, he never cared about these noises like the fluttering of mosquitoes and flies.

"Happy cooperation. And, you don't need to replace the ability for the time being."

"You want to go back on it?"

"Why? It's just that sometimes, the truth is more convincing than a lie." Aurus smiled faintly, "You don't need to change the truth... just add a lie, that's enough."

Badman shook his hand hard.

A secret deal was thus concluded.Aulus failed to win over Qin's daughter, but he will be temporarily aided by Deathwing.Tonight's defeat brought him a little frustration, and he will turn this long-lost feeling into motivation, action and upward momentum.

Badman's plea for help gave him an inspiration.He realized that this would be an opportunity, a chance to kill two birds with one stone.

"Master, stop by the side of the road."

Qin Qianbai paid the bill with the banknotes temporarily borrowed by his neighbor, and got out of the taxi.She went to the supermarket, and after about 5 minutes, she came out with a small bag and headed home.

The window of Gongsun Ce's house was lit, the boy should have gone back.Qin Qianbai walked towards the door on tiptoe, trying to avoid the detection of the invisible force, and returned home silently.

But his ability didn't seem to rely on sound detection, as soon as he reached the door, the door of Gongsun Ce's room opened.The gray-haired boy poked his head out and asked listlessly, "Go shopping?"

Qin Qianbai immediately hid the purchased ingredients and said seriously, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Ah?" Gongsun Ce nodded, "Ah, okay, I'll help you transport the furniture in with telekinetic power. Good night, you."

Qin Qianbai waited until the neighbor went back before walking into the house with a bag.She soaked the white rice with water, peeled the walnuts in advance, and finally put the prepared ingredients into the freezer, and went to sleep peacefully after washing.

The night passed in silence.

·
The next morning, as always, Gongsun Ce woke up from the nightmare.

"Wow... ah!"

He clutched the quilt, his eyes were full of confusion, and he only felt that he was wandering in the fog.Gongsun Ce got out of bed in a daze, feeling that everything was gray and he couldn't see clearly.

He stood there blankly, and after an unknown amount of time, he heard a knock on the door not far away.

"coming!"

Gongsun Ce replied subconsciously, and walked in the direction of the voice.As he walked step by step, he felt that the gray and white in the dream dissipated with his steps, and a clear door appeared in his vision.

Gongsun Ce pushed the door open, and the morning air brought sunshine in.Standing outside the door was a girl with black hair and white clothes. She hid her hands behind her back and her eyes were bright, not like an afterimage in a dream.

He heard the girl say, "What would you do if I owed 10 yuan?"

Gongsun Ce's eyeballs almost popped out, and he immediately felt a gust of cold air pass through his intestines, scrape his heart and lungs, and hit his forehead, which was more refreshing than a shower of refreshing oil.

The mist in his vision dissipated, and Gongsun Ce became dizzy due to the weight of reality.He took a breath and said sharply, "Grandma, what did you smash last night?!"

"I said if."

"You tell the truth!"

Qin Qianbai looked at him complainingly: "Assumption."

Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and replied angrily, "What's the matter? Do you still expect me to pay you back the money? With a wave of my hand, I'll give you 30 yuan, and just say 'no need to look for it'?"

"Uh-huh."

... Strange.

Why does it feel like she is quite happy to hear my eccentricity.

"... What stimulated you?"

Qin Qianbai tilted his head and asked, "Then what will you do?"

"Be sure to ask about the situation first. If you are blackmailed, I will use external methods to deal with it. If you cause trouble yourself, I can help you negotiate with the other party and agree to let you pay in installments. Unless you are really in a big situation—— For example, if you are sick and need money urgently, or your house is going to be mortgaged, otherwise no one would agree to borrow such a large sum.”

Gongsun Ce explained helplessly: "It's not about the amount. Money is as difficult to deal with as favors, and everyone feels uncomfortable if they borrow too much. How can a person think about 'I owe him 10 yuan' every day? Treat each other as equals?"

No matter how good a friend is, under the weight of kindness, the other party will be regarded as a "benefactor" and "creditor" in disguise from a friend.Once a relationship has gone sour, it's hard to get it right again.

Qin Qianbai nodded: "It's true."

The girl took out the object hidden behind her, it was a small casserole with a handle.As soon as the lid is lifted, you can see a pot full of lavender sweet soup, and the aroma of dates and walnuts blows your face.

The girl said seriously: "I made some walnut cheese, and I want to thank you for your help these two days."

Gongsun Ce was completely at a loss and felt dizzy for a while.

This contingency was beyond his range of experience.what is this?what?

It's not that I haven't eaten this kind of thing before... For a while, when Caldesia was keen on baking, many people in the class had eaten her baked desserts...but...I'm so stupid...the girl personally delivered homemade desserts Why……

Did he hallucinate from watching too many animations?This kind of thing really exists in reality?
"Ah, thank you, thank you."

Gongsun Ce subconsciously took the pot, sniffed it, and found it very fragrant.

Unexpectedly, he said, "That's right, this portion looks so big that I can't finish it, why don't we eat it together?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that it might be misunderstood: "I didn't mean that—"

"Okay." The eldest lady agreed.

"Oh." Gongsun Ce scratched his head, and found that he suddenly became very clumsy, unable to think of a clever word.

He felt that the eldest lady seemed very happy, but he couldn't figure out why.With a little inexplicable joy, he said blankly: "Oh."
