Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 322 Dawn Star
"When I was on the plane, I thought about how I would spend my first night in a foreign country."

Thirty wolf-headed beasts smashed through the old building, and fifteen snake-shaped monsters were crushed to the ground.

The boy in black stepped over the corpse of the beast, stepping forward on the smelly blood.

"I think it's a good idea to strike up a conversation on the street, and see if there is any pretty big sister with an open personality who can ask for a mobile phone number; or you can go to a small local restaurant with your big brother first, and try Mo Mo, who has a very bad reputation. How unpalatable the food is. The worst thing is that the law and order in Superbia is as bad as the capital of the sky, and we will start doing our old jobs as soon as we land."

Ahead is a circular square.Greedy and brutal beasts sleep, mate, eat each other and kill each other in the open space.The sharp howls were mixed with heavy gasps, and the wailing of the dead and wounded was carried in the foul-smelling wind.The boy's soliloquy should have been insignificant in this chaotic scene, but it was like an alarm bell that attracted the attention of all the beasts.They turned their heads at the same time, casting greedy gazes at the outsider.Hundreds of ferocious beasts of different shapes rushed forward, like a wave of violence and ferocity.

"But I really didn't expect that Superbia's welcome would be so warm..."

Gongsun Ce raised his hand forward.

"To the extent that I had landed less than an hour before I had to kill myself."

The invisible power of thought is forced around him, expanding rapidly like a semi-circular barrier, setting off all the beasts that dare to attack.Gongsun Ce's power created an inviolable domain in the beast tide, and all the beasts that approached him would be defeated by the invisible force, and even be killed by heavy pressure.

The greedy beasts seemed to know no fear, and none of them would stop even if their kind were killed.Gongsun Ce's killing work was carried out precisely and quickly, blood and pieces of flesh flew in the air, but none of them fell on him.In less than a minute, only the young man was left as a living creature in the square, while the rest of the beasts had become corpses.

"Fearless, guys, those who don't know think I ate your mother."

Gongsun Ce knelt down and inspected the corpse beside him.When he did this, his movements were very agile, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, and there was even room for swearing, he was not as proficient as a teenager.

He casually rummaged through the rags on the beasts for a while, but failed to find any valuable information. He could only confirm from the style of the torn fabric that it was once a part of clothing.Gongsun Ce shook his hands, picked up an extinguished torch from the ground, and thought about what these beasts had in common.

"Longing for light?"

Torches, oil lamps, lanterns, candles... similar sources of illumination are available on every beast.They carefully protect the fire in their hands, and never let go even when they come to attack.But this is not logical, because the moon in the sky is frighteningly large, and the moonlight alone is enough to light them on the dirty road.After thinking about it, Gongsun Ce could only deduce temporarily that these monsters wanted the flames for another reason, just like they wanted to kill themselves for no reason.

"It's quite fantastical."

Gongsun Ce lit the torch again with a lighter, and walked forward holding the torch like a "local".As expected, there is no signal on the mobile phone. If you can make calls in this place, you will be damned.He didn't panic at all, because his elder brother was in the same city as him, and because this place was the capital of the kingdom.

He thought to himself that this might be the Shadow and Mist City that Raquel said, and it was estimated that the knights would come to this place every three days or so like a dungeon.Then he can find a conspicuous landmark to wait...Anyway, Big Brother and Orianna feel that something is wrong, so they will definitely come to him.

Gongsun Ce is still very naive at the moment, he didn't expect that someone would set a trap for him in a foreign country, let alone his most trusted elder brother is not omnipotent.He just paced leisurely in the corrupt city, until the cell phone rang suddenly, with a trace of ominous shriek in it.

The caller wasn't Big Brother or Orianna, and the number was an ever-changing gibberish.Gongsun Ce answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Hee hee hee."

A teasing laugh came from the microphone, as crisp as a silver bell.

Gongsun Ce laughed equally cheerfully: "Hehehe, is it fun to play pranks?"

"Mr. Gongsun, I'm a Daoist, not a murderer. I can't get a hobby like yours."

While coping with it, Gongsun Ce carefully explored the surrounding environment with telekinetic power.Corpses, corpses, corpses, rotting maggots in the flesh, foul blood oozing from the cracks in the bricks, moldy clothing and plaques, torches and lanterns extinguished in the fog.Nothing alive, nothing to breathe, but something feels wrong... feels wrong...

"Are you happy? Are you happy?" the voice on the phone chattered.Gongsun Ce quickly strode across the corpses and inspected the square. "Are you happy? Are you happy!" The voice on the phone became louder.Gongsun Ce walked to the corner of the square, the corner formed by two dilapidated gray walls. "Are you happy... Are you happy!" The voice on the phone gradually became hoarse.Gongsun Ce stared at the empty wall and turned his head suddenly!
The flames flashed through the misty mist, and in his eyes reflected illusory shadows, reflected terrifying faces!A pale grimace floated behind Gongsun Ce, following him closely as if possessing a body.The ghost's facial features distorted and slipped off like melted wax, and the strange face seemed to be crying in despair. It was hiding in the gray cloak, and its irregular mouth was still moving slowly, questioning Gongsun Ce:

"Are you happy! Are you happy!!"

The voice still came from the phone, and it was this weird ghost who spoke to him earlier!The telekinetic power condensed into ten long spears, piercing the ghost's body with killing intent.The cloak was rustled by the strong wind, but the ghost didn't seem to be affected in any way.It stretched out its mist claws that were as soft as wax mud to Gongsun Ce, and shouted sharply: "Then smile! Smile at me!!"

"Okay."

Gongsun Ce smiled as he said, the torch in his left hand shook suddenly, and shot at the ghost's body like a gun!

"No!!" The wax-like ghost wailed suddenly, and flashed backwards like an electric shock, but the torch flew faster than it.The flame entangled the mourning ghost, tearing its body cruelly.

"No! No! No!!"

Gongsun Ce grabbed the torch in the air, and condescendingly pushed the ghost back to the ground like a cigarette butt, letting it burn blazingly under the pressure of the flames.He moved closer to the ghost's face, manipulated the flames with telekinetic power, and drew a smile on the melting face.

The boy grinned: "You're welcome, I'll give you a smile."

The ghost disappeared in the light of the fire, turning into a wisp of gray mist and scattered in the strange world, but the warm flame on the torch was also extinguished, and the fire that had lost its heat was as cold as moonlight.

Gongsun Ce straightened up, spread the power of thought to the whole square, grabbed all the light sources that could be illuminated, and lit them up one by one with a lighter.Now he knew why the beasts carried light, but he wished he didn't know why.There are two completely different creatures living in this weird world, and his telekinesis has no effect on the disembodied ghost!
"If you want light and fire, can't you be friendly to the clown?" Gongsun Ce muttered, "It's a pity, Caldesia, you missed the glowing theme park..."

Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!The phone rang again, but Gongsun Ce didn't answer it this time. He manipulated clusters of lights to form a circle around him, illuminating the mist around him with the firelight.The pulsating light revealed a corner of the truth for him, and countless hazy shadows in the gray mist were twisting and wriggling, floating towards him together with the mist!
"What a fucking surprise!"

Gongsun Ce put away the flames and ran away.The ghosts in the fog screamed and followed behind him, like spikes protruding from the sea.

The light sources he collected were less than 30, and the ghost figures in the mist were hundreds.It's nonsense to try to kill them all with this kind of fire, if you don't run away at this time, something will happen!In a few seconds, Gongsun Ce had already leaped over the square. He crossed a series of steps, leading the ghosts to float to the high platform on the edge of the square.Beyond the high platform is an avenue of "people coming and going". Beasts of various shapes are wandering on the street with lights, but the height difference between the road and the square is so large that it is counterintuitive, and it is more than 50 meters at a rough glance. distance.

Which country's city will make such a nonsense plan?Could this shadow mist be a mess piled up layer by layer? !
But it is obvious that this nightmarish world and its creatures do not pay attention to rationality. Gongsun Ce glanced at the sky and gave up the idea of ​​flying and fleeing: the sky is full of gray fog, who knows how many ghosts are lurking in the sky .

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Gongsun Ce made a decision in seconds.He jumped down and landed in front of the road, threw a torch into the sky to illuminate the ghosts who were chasing him, and shouted in the common language before the beasts attacked: "They are coming!"

All the beasts looked at the sky, Gongsun Ce was sure.

But then, those yellow vertical pupils turned towards him again.Crazy howls resounded across the sky, and the wild beasts locked on to the same target, and the raging beast tide and ghost shadows flocked to the visitor who strayed into another world!

"Is heresy more hateful than heresy?!"

Gongsun Ce squeezed out a curse from his throat.His adventure failed. He thought that the beasts with lights would be hostile to the ghosts, but unexpectedly, the primary target of these two monsters turned out to be himself.Does he look so delicious?All of them rushed over so arrogantly...

As if he had no temper!
A fiercer wind than howling swept across the street, the invisible sharp blade cut through the bones and muscles, and cut all the predators at the forefront of the beast tide into stinky flesh; Gongsun Ce threw ten balls of lights and rags into the fog In the middle, the overturned Mars licked the cloth strips and turned into a wall of fire, burning the ghosts and crying loudly.For a moment, blood and fire dyed the street red, and the boy in black controlled all of this with his own power.It doesn't matter if the plan to lead the disaster to the east fails, the worst is that he will knock down all the enemies himself!
But Gongsun Ce didn't have time to think about it. He didn't have time to think about why the beasts only held a few lights in their hands, but they didn't light up a large bonfire.Because the fire is so conspicuous, it is like a lamp that attracts moths in this dark night.Those truly terrifying creatures will be attracted by this light, and will try their best to extinguish it, or take it for themselves...

And now the fire was so ferocious on the main road that it could be seen from two blocks away.

"hiss……"

Gongsun Ce didn't expect so many, but his intuition cultivated in years of fighting responded.He used his thoughts to disperse the beasts, and when he looked up, he found that the mist in the sky was distorted, and the blazing fire showed a funny crying face. The face became bigger and bigger as he observed, and five huge dots appeared next to the face. Raised, like a giant in the fog extending its palm to the ground.

"—What breed are you?!"

Gongsun Ce suddenly felt bad, but only then did he realize what it means that misfortunes never come singly.The chaotic hordes of beasts suddenly sparked with a bloody light, and a cold black shadow descended from the sky. The shock wave when it landed smashed the beasts into bloody mud.It is clad in blood-stained black armor, and holds a long sword of crystal and stone.With just one swing of the sword, more than ten beasts were killed together. Bloody crystals spread from their wounds, turning the corpses into transparent statues in less than half a second.

The black knight's eyes met Gongsun Ce's, and the beast's vertical pupils shone through the gap in the helmet.

"Okay! The strong man is really skilled. He is just a mere funny clown. It is not worth your time and friendship, so I will bid farewell to you!!"

Gongsun Ce ran away without saying a word.joke!There is only one big guy, it’s okay to say, two bosses come over at the same time, one with a weapon is dead, and the other is with a weapon, so if they don’t run away, are they waiting to die? !No matter how loud Mr. Gongsun Ce's bullshit is, he is no more than a deputy to assist the dog-headed army division. It is the job of a hero in the sky to open Wushuang among thousands of armies!
"Be safe and don't be impatient!" Gongsun Ce repeatedly hit the invisible fist, knocking the black knight back a few steps, but the fog giant in the sky reached out and attacked again. "Calm down! Damn!!" He didn't care about restraining him any more, so he turned around and ran away quickly.There are still a bunch of miscellaneous fish in the back, and if it continues to delay, it will only lead to a dead end, and now it can only compete with them.

The dirty and gloomy street scene flashed indistinctly, Gongsun Ce ran around the place without a clue, the two gadgets behind him were still chasing after him.How long has it been? 3 minutes? 1 minute?He admitted that he was a little panicked, because he didn't know how many monsters were hidden in this place, and he didn't know what was waiting for him ahead.The unknown is always the greatest fear, and this is a common principle for people with superpowers.

The roads in Shadow Wudu are twisted and unpredictable, sometimes spacious and sometimes narrow. Gongsun Ce, who was evading the pursuit, ran in fear. He started cursing himself. It's the same, but it turns out that without the big brother, he is a fucking mess!

Gongsun Ce's eyes lit up when he was cursing in his heart, and he realized that he seemed to be running out of the city without knowing it.At the end of the road is a circular open field, in the middle of which stands an ancient clock tower.He remembered Orianna's words:
——The inner city has more than half of the important buildings in the city, including three sacred bell towers.

The dial on the outside of the clock tower was clearly visible in the distance, and the time was only 8:58, less than 10 minutes after he finished sending a text message to his elder brother.It's fucking absurd, a few minutes feels like a century.Gongsun Ce ran to the bottom of the "sacred bell tower" in a hurry, holding his knees and panting.The black knight in the Psychic Network is long gone, and the slow speed of the ghost should also be thrown away... He is probably safe...

Gongsun Ce wiped his sweat and turned his head, his heart fell to the bottom in an instant.

The mist above the clock tower was as thick as liquid, and distorted faces, crying or laughing, were revealed in the gray and white.Terrible grimaces occupied the sky, like giants looking at the mice in the cage.

The bricks and tiles in front of the square shattered with a bang, and the black knight followed like a shooting star, and countless beasts holding crystal weapons stood behind him, like private soldiers led by the knight.The monsters surrounded this area impenetrably, and the huge number made counting it a luxury. The dark ocean was boundless, and there was no end in sight.

"……Ha ha."

Gongsun Ce sat down weakly with his back against the wall.The black knight walked quickly, his sword in both hands was meticulous, and he was still ready for his imminent opponent.He wanted to say, buddy, you are such a model soldier who is conscientious and conscientious.But he couldn't make a wisecrack, he just felt tired.

There was no escape for him.

The first to pierce the body should be the blade of the black knight, followed by the fangs and claws of the wild beasts. The slow-moving giants may only have a share of the pie, grabbing some corpse residue...

The imagination pictured the misery to come, and a strange joy arose in his heart that he would at last be embraced by death.In a certain corner of his heart, there was a voice still screaming unwillingly, yelling for him to stand up and fight.But that voice was too weak, it only turned into a drop of tears in reality, dripping from the corner of his weak eyes.

The wind of the sword howled, and the tip of the sword pierced the flesh.He wanted to close his eyes, at least not to die so embarrassingly.

The moment before his vision disappeared, Gongsun Ce saw the light.

"—"

It was a light as clear as jade.

Not as hot as fire, not as cold as moon.What is reflected on the crystal blade is a spotless glow.The brilliance of pure white that manifests in reality beyond fantasy.

There should be a voice.The sound of metal and iron clanging, or the wind disturbed by action.However, he heard nothing.All the attention of this body, all the ideas in this mind, were all caught and attracted by that light.

The crystalline sword that was supposed to take life was wiped away by the light.

The cold and tough dark knight was split by the light.

The pure white light spreading from afar silently melted away the beast tide and dispelled the mist instantly.There were no beasts to be seen, nor giants to be seen.Only the light converges in front of the field of vision, condensing into a shape like a long sword.He stared hard, wanting to see the truth, to see the appearance of the sword-bearer.

The white light gradually dissipated.

What was imprinted in the young man's eyes was long hair as white as snow.

She stood quietly a few meters away, her face as clear as a sword.His gray pupils were as calm as lake water, reflecting his distressed appearance.

"—"

She seemed to say something.

However, the young man failed to understand, and his stiff nerves failed to send the voice to his ears.His world seemed to stand still at this moment, and all thinking and actions stopped.Only the two of them existed in the frozen time that made him gaze almost permanently into her face.

Gongsun Ce didn't know what to say.

I haven't been able to stand up, I haven't been able to dry my tears, I haven't returned to normal thinking, and I haven't been able to respond as I should.

Subconsciously, the liar boy revealed his true thoughts.A thought that is fleeting and forever engraved in my heart.

"...It's so beautiful."
