Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 255 Declaring War
It was raining heavily outside the window, and Qin Qianbai was reading in the coffee shop, listening to the raindrops falling on the ground, playing with the soothing music in the store.

It was very quiet in the store, there was no one other than her.The girl gently turned the pages of the book without making a sound, enjoying the silence in the rain.When she looked sideways, she saw the screen on the table light up, and silently picked up the phone.

"I'm Qin Qianbai."

The girl on the other end of the phone was talking anxiously, speaking fast, revealing an anxiety she had never heard before.

"I see."

She ended the communication, put the book and change on the table, and walked out the door alone.The dark sky was raining heavily, as if the sky was crying, using its tears to stain the entire floating city with sadness.

Qin Qianbai walked towards the rain curtain alone.She didn't bring an umbrella, and she didn't need an umbrella. All the water droplets turned into transparent ice pieces when they approached her side, slipped through her clothes and fell to the ground.She kicked her legs on the ground and jumped up, turning into a phantom flickering between tall buildings and alleys, leaving a transparent star in the rainstorm.

·
It's raining again.

Gongsun Ce lay on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside the window.

His bed is by the window, he can hear cicadas chirping when he gets up in summer, and he can see the snow under the night before falling asleep in winter.He felt that there was nothing wrong with being closer to the outdoors, so that he could have access to sunlight and fresh air.

But everything has pros and cons. There are not only sunny days in the world, but also cloudy and rainy days.Gongsun Ce hated rainy days the most, it reminded him of the gloomy past, when he first came to Sky Capital, those fights, scrambles, and crying in the alleys.

In the past, whenever it rained, he would get up from the bed and go to the desk to find something to pass the time for himself, until the rainstorm ended and the sky cleared up.Gongsun Ce looked at the clear sky and smiled, thinking that the haze would pass and the days would definitely get better.He closed his eyes in the sun and rested his mind, imagining where he would travel one day and what a wonderful encounter he would meet, and then fell asleep in the beautiful fantasy, waiting to wake up under the sunny sky.

But today he couldn't sleep, he couldn't dream, he couldn't control himself to divert his attention.He seemed to be controlled by his own ability, unable to move, he could only listen to the sound of rain in the gray and white room.

That nasty voice sounded again, lingering in his heart again and again, almost suffocating him.

——Every day, every minute, every second, you are consuming resources that do not match your own, like a criminal locked up in a prison!Does the existence of criminals make sense to the world?No... Criminals are just people who don't want to die!
——It’s too bad...how come I can’t find the meaning of your existence, Gongsun Ce?What a disaster you are!

In a daze, Gongsun Ce felt that he had returned to the prison-like airship a few years ago.On his right is the dazed Caldesia, and in front of him is the brown-haired child who is sure to win.Aurus opened and closed his mouth, and those hurtful words seemed to be amplified by the empty room, slow and sharp, eerily like echoes in water, with the roar of church bells.

——You can only die!You have no other way out but self-destruction!
The gray-haired boy wanted to say something to refute, but he couldn't even think of a word.

He agreed with Aurus' words in his heart, and he knew that the other party was right.His existence has never been worthwhile, and he will only drag those around him into a vortex of madness.Gongsun Ce is a devil when he is alone, a clown when he is with a hero, and an assistant when he is with a knight.

People often ask curiously, asking what he means: Why does the hero of the sky team up with such a bad guy?Why does the hero have such a ridiculous minion?Who is that stupid Imperial man next to the Dawn Knight?What qualifications does he have to stand here?
Gongsun Ce just smirked, and laughed it off with a witty remark, saying that a hero needs a foil, and a detective needs a fool.And he knew the truth clearly in his heart, he had never played a crucial role, and it was always the same with him or without him.It's just that those strong people are too kind-hearted, they can't see his cowardly appearance, and give him a hand when doing things.

Now the knight was weak, the hero was gone, and the good people who had sheltered him were gone, and there was only a lone clown left on the stage.The other characters are about to come on stage, and there is no room for clowns.He seemed to see the young man speaking provocatively, saying how boring the empty stage would be, why don't you come up and sing with us, Gongsun Ce?But do you have the ability to be the real protagonist, you always let everything go to ruin, my friend!

Gongsun Ce recalled the sad profile of his elder brother.The eldest brother is powerless to fight anymore, and he still wants to rush to the end that is bound to fail, and use his own will to bring him new troubles?

enough.never mind.

It's all good.

He didn't want to think anymore, he didn't even want to play the farce of self-deception.The gray and white in the field of vision quietly expanded, and Gongsun Ce seemed to be lifted up by a mist.The sky and the earth are white, nothing can be seen, and the sound of rain is endless, like the sky is broken, and it seems like stardust is falling on the pure white earth.

He couldn't see anything.The sound of the rain became irregular, and the mist was dilapidated black.A dim light seemed to emerge from the fog, flickering like a river of stars, dragging a meteor-like tail to infinitely distant places.

Gongsun Ce felt as if he could catch the star.

There is no meaning for his existence here.Maybe he should also give up some persistence that is no longer important... There is no need to continue ugly, embarrassing, and remaining in this beautiful world...

Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand towards the dazzling star.

He failed to touch the stars, and just as he stretched out his fingertips, an explosion-like bang poured into his ears!

The voice was tyrannical, rough, resolute, with an undeniable determination to go its own way.The humid air was swept in with the cold wind at night, and the flying wood chips disturbed the starry sky in the field of vision, and the dazzling light swept away all the gray and white!

Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand in a daze, unable to understand what happened.He turned his head and saw the broken wooden door fell to the ground, the house was in a mess, and the pure white light illuminated the girl's face.

She was still wearing the plain white outfit, hoodie and pants.Transparent ice crystals rolled off her dress and melted into tiny puddles on the floor.The girl was still expressionless, and there was no trace of anger on her face, only her eyes were looking at him nimbly.

"There is an urgent matter, and there is no response to knocking on the door, so I smashed the door open."

"Oh."

Gongsun Ce nodded blankly.He could only nod, his frozen brain unable to comprehend what was happening now.Qin Qianbai stepped forward and pulled him up from the bed without any explanation.

"Aurus Otimes joined forces with other organizations. He blamed you for the murder. He wanted to rule out dissidents and seize the opportunity to take the position." Qin Qianbai dragged him towards the door, "Let's go down he."

Qin Qianbai spoke lightly, as if he was going to drag him out to kill a gangster, not one of the highest points of power in the city.

She dragged her neighbor for two steps, feeling a familiar resistance.Gongsun Ce stood where he was and broke free from her hand.

"I dont go."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go." Qin Qianbai grabbed him again.

Gongsun Ce shook off her hand vigorously.

"I'm not going," he said firmly. "Did Caldesia or the doctor tell you? Tell them to leave it alone. I don't want to be involved. Whatever. It's none of my business."

Qin Qianbai looked at him in surprise.

"You will be framed, Gongsun Ce."

"I said I don't care!" The gray-haired boy said angrily, "I don't want to care about this, they can do whatever they like!!"

"Aurus Otimemis is a sanctimonious hypocrite! How can you watch him run amok—"

"Then what do you want me to do?!" Gongsun Ce roared, "Do you also want me to stand in front of the stage and play a clown show under their contemptuous ridicule?! I've had enough! That's not what I should do matter!"

He saw a trace of disappointment in Qin Qianbai's eyes, which made Gongsun Ce even more annoyed.Why are you disappointed? !Why do you have expectations of me? !Who do you think I am, an invincible hero who rescues the suffering? !I'm a fucking buffoon who can't even control my own strength!

"You're not a buffoon..."

"Stop being so arrogant, Qin Qianbai! Put away your young lady demeanor!"

He could no longer control himself, and his anger and self-loathing turned into vitriolic words, hurting each other like a double-edged sword.

"You never knew me, you don't know my past, and you don't understand this city! You use your shallow knowledge to do what you think is right! Who do you think you are?!"

Gongsun Ce pointed at the broken gate and howled hysterically: "You even broke into my house and broke my door! Did I teach you this?! Enough, I've had enough!!"

He didn't look at the girl's eyes, he didn't dare to look at the girl's face.Gongsun Ce sat back on the bed, lowered his head, and laughed at himself hoarsely.

"Now you understand, huh? I've never been a strong character, I'm just a punk pretending to be in front of newcomers. Once I get poked at the pain point, I lose my temper like this, stupid and cowardly."

"I've always been a clown." He smiled ugly and closed his eyes. "The clown is really tired. The clown doesn't want to act anymore. Please, let the clown go."

Now even the new girl recognizes his true colors, how ridiculous.The term "sufficient success and more than failure" was probably tailor-made for him, right?

Gongsun Ce lowered his head.He wanted to die, he had had enough, he no longer had the face to say anything in front of this girl.

He wanted to lie down, rest, sleep.But a hand was on his shoulder.Those hands pulled him forcefully from the bed, pinched his muscles tightly, and made him open his eyes involuntarily due to the pain.

Qin Qianbai stood in front of him, as close as when they first met.This time there was no anger in the girl's eyes, she just explained it seriously, word by word.

"You're right. I don't know your past, I can only see you now."

"The Gongsun Ce I know is a witty, strong and kind man. He will help me out of trouble by saying harsh words, and solve difficulties with clever means. The real culprit of the case, he can stop the vicious enemy, he taught me to control superpowers, and showed me new friends. He invited me to dinner, took me to watch animation, taught me the common sense that normal people should have, and helped me get familiar with this strange world. City. He has helped me so much, but never shows his kindness!"

She is so focused and serious, she is just describing the trivial things in daily life, but it seems to be talking about something big.But the girl was confident and high-spirited, without any embarrassment or confusion in her words.

"The Gongsun Ce I know is the best person in this city." She looked directly into the young man's eyes and said loudly, "Better than Aurus, better than Badman, better than the president of the Mutual Aid Society, better than Everyone in the capital of the sky is well!"

Qin Qianbai let go of his hand, turned around generously, and walked out the door.

"So I can't tolerate someone slandering you. I don't want to see Aurus, a city dominated by hypocrites. If you are tired, rest in the house, and I will solve these problems." She said flatly, "I will knock them all down."

"Sorry for breaking your door."

The doll-like girl left, she did what she said, and she really didn't try to persuade her.She said what she wanted to say, and now she's going to do what she wants to do.

She has always been so simple and straightforward, never beating around the bush, and speaking directly.She said she didn't like it, she didn't like it, and she said she wanted to beat them down, but she really wanted to beat those people down.

When she said she thought you were good, she really thought you were good.

Gongsun Ce sat on his bed speechlessly, staring at the broken wooden door.

He thinks the world is so fucking ridiculous.Why are there always people talking to themselves in front of him?

What do you mean I think you are better than everyone else? Do you know my past?Do you know what a real superpower looks like?Why do you brazenly use your experience of less than two weeks to make judgments, and still firmly believe that your judgment is so awesome and so extraordinary.You used to be an ignorant lady for so many years, do you really think that you can become an old fool who can see through the truth at a glance after learning a little common sense here?
But he couldn't say those words.Because the girl is so serious and confident when she speaks, she is sure that there will be no mistakes in her words.That momentum overcame the truth, making it impossible for others to say a word of rebuttal.

Gongsun Ce thinks that his life is a drama, he is a supporting role in this drama, he is responsible for enlivening the atmosphere by the side, acting as a fan, and the protagonist under the spotlight will always belong to others.The play sang for a long time, and all the protagonists he partnered with left. He sang a one-man show on stage, feeling frustrated and ugly, and prepared to step down under the ridicule of others.

But a girl just entered the theater during this time and sat in the audience watching his performance.The girl hadn't seen many wonderful plays, but after watching this short play, she felt that his performance was very good, the best she had ever seen.

Gongsun Ce was tired, exhausted, disheartened, and considered himself incompetent.

But the girl didn't think so.

She really believed in the young man.

Believe that he is stronger than all.

Gongsun Ce clenched his fists.The heart in the chest was beating violently, and the sound of the heartbeat was as strong as the drum before the war.

It seemed that there was a flame burning in his heart, turning the blood into scorching magma, rushing through the young blood vessels.It seemed that an invisible shackle was broken, and the surging emotion turned into strength. That strength supported him to stand up, condensed in his eyes, and made the empty pupils light up again!

·
Qin Qianbai ran out of the house, ready to attack.She said sorry in her heart, and planned to repair his door later.

But at this moment, she found that she couldn't move, and an invisible force locked her in place.The girl turned around in surprise, only to find that the lights in the room had gone out, and a young man's voice came from the darkness, which was always free and easy, yet calm and reassuring.

"Wait for me to change my clothes."

She stood obediently.

After only 1 minute, his shadow appeared in front of the door.Qin Qianbai couldn't help holding her breath, she had never seen such a young man.

The young man who came out of the darkness was wearing a dark suit and a black-red double-sided cloak. His boots were accentuated, and his gloves were black and shiny, like a general walking towards his own battlefield.

Gongsun Ce was holding a big-brimmed hat in his hand. He put the hat on his head and smiled at the girl.

"Let's go, I'll show you a friend, and then we'll set off."

"What are you going to do?" the girl asked subconsciously.

Gongsun Ce took her out of the corridor and flew towards the city in the rainstorm.Endless raindrops slid past the two, gathered together by his power, forming a pathway floating in the air.

This road is formed with the steps forward, extending endlessly forward, leading them to the battlefield.

"Go and defeat Deathwing, the Mutual Aid Society, the Light Core, the White Coat, the official lackeys, and all the enemies that stand in my way."

Gongsun Ce's cloak fluttered in the air, and he held the girl's hand with a relaxed tone.

"Down with the entire capital of the sky."
