Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 332 Desire Beast

(What's going on, Elandia?!)
(Mr. Douglas has turned into a beast, and the Shadow Mist Barrier reacted automatically, absorbing him to protect the safety of the citizens.) Elandia said.

(What does it protect? This tattered barrier has pulled us in!)

(This was supposed to be a precise and quick containment, but when the Holy Flame armor was damaged, the barrier was no longer stable, so people around were also implicated.)
(Ah, I was fooled. The old leader seems to have really mentioned it... What's the matter!)

It took only a moment for the two to communicate, and Douglas in reality launched a surprise attack.Gongsun Ce made a decisive decision and pushed the police officer and Felice far away with telekinetic power.

The mad Douglas howled again and again, his ugly face was like an old zebra, a little golden light condensed in his hands, turning into a seriously distorted oil lamp as huge as a hammerhead.Blood-like filthy smoke sprayed from the mouth of the lamp, spraying violently with his movements.

"I want to live...!" Douglas howled crazily, throwing the oil lamp at Gongsun Ce, "I want to live!! All of you—"

"go away!"

Gongsun Ce clenched his right fist and struck out three consecutive invisible fists, knocking back the alienated Douglas several meters away.Klicki was beside him, whistling: "Yo, beast."

"What is animalization?!"

"It's just to become a beast of desire." Keriki made a grimace, "The desire is too strong and it's a magician of emptiness. Of course, it will cause the erosion of the emptiness world, and suddenly become a big monster."

"Ahhh!" Douglas fell on all fours, charging towards him like a real beast.Krikey dodged the impact with a somersault, with the agility of an acrobat. "Hurry up, sir~ Otherwise, he will be completely included in the Shadow Mist City, and fight with your knight friends!"

"Shut up if you don't fucking help!"

Dozens of telekinetic ropes shot out, firmly restraining the berserk Douglas.Three invisible spears shot out, piercing Douglas' body.The stinking blood splashed in the mist, and the horse-like animal head twitched in pain. "Calm down, Douglas!" But the stimulation of blood made Douglas' madness worse, he rolled around Gongsun Ce who couldn't be defeated immediately, and ran towards Phyllis and McDonald in the distance!
"No! No!!!" "Help—!"

The alienated oil lamp smashed into muddy waves in the swamp, and before the two were smashed into pieces, Gongsun Ce flew them into the air in time.

(How to fight, Elandia?) Gongsun Ce roared in his heart, (Smash his lamp?)
(That would break Mr. Douglas's mind into a near vegetative state. Try snatching his oil lamp.)
The boy in black ran to Douglas himself, attracting his attention right in front of him. "Aww!!" The animalized Douglas raised his palms and clapped wildly, each blow making a big pit like a landmine explosion on the mud. "It's a bit slow, old man!" Gongsun Ce, who accelerated with telekinetic power, quickly dodged the attack.He saw the opportunity and stepped on it, hitting Douglas's right arm that could not be retracted in the future. "—Ah!" The powerful kick pushed Douglas's right hand directly to the ground, and the telekinetic punch was hitting Douglas' head, chest and abdomen at this moment, making it completely lost its balance.

The alienated beast fell to the ground, and the giant oil lamp came out of his hand, and Gongsun Ce grabbed it with his telekinetic power.He unscrewed the lamp cover, and saw that the fuel inside was not lamp oil, but various precious jewels and jewelry.

(Then what?)
(Please do as I say. First...)
Douglas struggled to turn over, and his oil lamp was reflected in his frantic eyes.The boy in black took out the treasure from the lamp and threw it on the ground without hesitation.

"—Aww!!!"

Douglas struggled frantically, but his head was held down by Gongsun Ce with one hand.The young man cleaned up the oil lamp and said solemnly: "Douglas Birlstone, your impermanence is an oil lamp to realize your wishes. And what is your real wish now? It is to protect your own life." , or coveting Viscount Buck's wealth?"

The animalized Douglas slowed down, and the voice of the old man could be heard faintly in the roar: "I want...money...want...to live..."

"The court may reduce the sentence for the old man who accidentally killed someone, but the greedy beast will never be spared."

Gongsun Ce put down the oil lamp, took a step back, and shaved off a strand of his hair with Nian Li Sword.

"Be a human or a beast, you choose."

Douglas was unable to continue fighting due to the heavy mental constraints.After losing the means of venting his emotions by attacking, his ferocious animal nature gradually fell into a disadvantage.The alienated oil lamp stood in front of his eyes, those discarded treasures and the sharp sword hanging above his head stimulated his feeble humanity and made him start to think again.

"I……"

A little clarity gradually appeared in Douglas' vertical pupils.It is the opposite of desire and belongs to the light of reason.

The gold and silver treasures in the swamp turned into smoke and dispersed in an instant, and the oil lamp gradually shrank back to its normal size, turning into a beautiful lamp as described in a fairy tale.Douglas returned to his normal size, a thin old man.

The sneaky environment in Shadow Mist City dissipated quietly, and they returned to the real king's capital.Douglas knelt in his own face, holding his lamp.He whispered: "I want to live, sir... I just want to live."

·
Everything passed quickly after that, and Officer MacDonald contacted the manpower to tie up the old craftsman in a special straitjacket.Perhaps it was because the police officer still had such a small amount of conscience, after he was saved by Gongsun Ce, he never mentioned the matter of superpowers, and left them alone to ask Douglas.

"Has Jane Diella ordered you to be armed with a mind?"

Gongsun Ce asked him about the purpose of his trip.Douglas didn't think much of it, but answered immediately, proudly.

"A lamp that can summon shadows. It is a good lamp, and it took me a lot of hard work to build it. Knight Jane is the pride of our common people, and I am honored to be able to help her."

"This is..." Gongsun Ce carefully chose his words, "The list that Head Situ introduced to you?"

"No, I took over the job myself. The head of the group just acts."

"Do you know why she wants the lamp?"

"Is it for secret operations?" Douglas speculated, "otherwise she wouldn't have come to find me, a small character, as an armament. There are so many better craftsmen in the Knights. Alas, it's a pity that Knight Jane also... I I think it is the result of the failure of the operation, the big shots are going to ruin her reputation..."

Gongsun Ce opened his mouth, wanting to tell the old man the truth, but felt that it was meaningless.He asked with resentment: "You didn't even know what she was going to do, so you took this order?"

Douglas nodded of course: "She is a knight."

"Just because of this?! Grassroots police officers are so rotten, do you still believe in knights?!"

Douglas looked at him oddly, as if he were looking at a foreigner who had made a common-sense error.Phyllis on the side whispered, "Sir, knights are different from police officers. They will uphold justice...and even I have heard that knights fight monsters every day."

Gongsun Ce didn't know what to say. He remembered that he had been saved by a knight, so he was speechless to refute.

Seeing that he stopped asking, Douglas turned to Phyllis, with a trace of guilt in his words.

"Sorry, kid. I didn't really mean to set you up... eh. Sorry. I thought it was going to be discovered later, late at night."

Phyllis shook her head: "It's always like this."

"Yes, it's always like this, just like what the leader said." The old man said slowly, "In an age as vast as the sea, each of us is so insignificant... insignificant, as small as dust."

Douglas was escorted away. Although he killed out of self-preservation, he wanted to escape his crime.His trial will not be imminent because his sentencing will be a complex undertaking.

Creeky Hyde, who had been organizing things for Douglas, had just stepped out of the tent with a large stack of papers in her hand.She flicked it a few times with her fingers, making a crisp sound.

Gongsun Ce remembered the name of the sect and asked, "Is this the dogma of your organization?"

"Life is short and insignificant. The power of one person will never affect the overall situation. It is better to find something that you really want to do so that you can live your life satisfactorily."

Creeky raised his right hand high and stretched.The cuffs of the long-sleeved shirt slid down to reveal her white and tender wrists like lotus root, her neck was raised like a swan, and the midday sun shone on the smile on her face, with a youthful youth in line with her age, but also a soft and decadent taste .

She looked at Gongsun Ce in a blink of an eye: "You did a good job this time, and you acted very handsome in the end. Sure enough, the difficult role of a clown is not suitable for you. Why don't you be a detective like today?"

Gongsun Ce took a step aside: "It's obviously the first time we've met, so please don't speak in such a familiar tone, if there's nothing else, please allow me to take a step forward."

Crookie's forearm slid down like weightless and rested on his shoulder.The green-haired girl moved her face closer and smiled at Yan Yan.The distance between them was so close that Gongsun Ce could smell a vague fragrance from her hair.

"Don't be shy, I quite like you." Her index finger quickly slid across Gongsun Ce's face, leaving a touch of softness, "Smart people are very attractive... Sister, I just happened to meet you tonight." If you have time, do you want to come and get to know each other?"

Gongsun Ce grabbed her wrist and slowly lowered it.He raised his palm and said with unprecedented seriousness: "I'm not interested in women with flat breasts, please allow me to solemnly decline!"

Ke Liji really couldn't maintain her aura this time: "Hey! Do you want to be such a little boy in aesthetics, with a head full of fat?! Look at my sister, my waist, my legs, and my pretty face!"

"Oh, that's all secondary. Mr. Gongsun, I will never establish a super-friendship with a flat-chested woman in my life!"

"Cut. Lost interest, just a brat."

Crookie lowered her eyelids and made a grimace: "Let's go, let's see you again."

She turned around bluntly, and halfway there, she heard a voice behind her.

"Please keep the archaeological results of Douglas."

"That's not okay. There's also the support from the head of the team here, so I can't give it to you." Cliki turned around and blinked, "But, haven't you read some of the content?"

He has seen it?When... that drama?
Gongsun Ce frowned and said, "I haven't finished watching it. What's the ending of that play?"

"The ending is that King Morton got the Black Sword of Destruction, and used it to repel the evil dragon and protect the kingdom on the island." Krikey waved his hand, "How interesting! Just think about it, if the holy sword is not King Morton Forged by Ton, what would the real story be like?"

So that will be the content of the next drama?Is that the story that Situ Yi really wants to act?It's not the old Tianlun myth, but the history of this island...

But Gongsun Ce didn't ask, he watched Keriki walk away without saying a word.He didn't want to know any more about these stories that had nothing to do with him.He didn't want to think about these ridiculous things anymore.He is very hungry now, and he wants to leave the troupe quickly to fill his stomach.

"gentlemen."

At this time, a call came from the side, and Phyllis hadn't left yet, standing beside him.The boy put down the wooden box, imitating the gentlemen and gentlemen he had seen, and saluted awkwardly.

"Thank you, sir."

Gongsun Ce smiled: "Did he really give you the purse?"

"It's true," said Phyllis, "but there was no money in the bag, and I stole the fifty pounds from the guest."

Gongsun Ce covered his forehead and shrugged his shoulders.He suddenly wanted to laugh.It all seemed utterly absurd to him, and everyone seemed to be fools.

He took out his wallet, leaving behind his papers, and handed the whole bag to Phyllis.

"This place is unlucky, let's find another place to work."

The little boy's eyes were full of disbelief.Gongsun Ce couldn't help laughing out loud, like a happy clown.He smiled and walked from tent to tent to the entrance of the troupe.

Situ Yi, dressed in white and crowned, was standing at the entrance, like a ghost in daylight, but also smiling happily.

"Those who are powerful and powerful wield knives at the poor; those who only want to survive see wealth and desire; those who wear police uniforms have no justice and glory in their eyes; those who seem innocent have their own sins; the good knights in everyone's hearts, Because of his own desire to do evil, the Taoist who was detested by others has become a righteous knight!"

"How much did you interfere?" Gongsun Ce asked.

"You tell me the truth, and I won't tell lies. Everything happens naturally, and I'm just watching the show, never taking action!" Situ Yi laughed loudly, "Is it the cry of a few people? It's a tens of millions Human cry? When a drama ends, the audience will have their own answer!"

Situ Yi walked past him and walked towards the troupe alone.Gongsun Ce's smile faded away little by little, like an actor taking off his mask and no longer laughing.He walked alone on the road in the East District, listening to the children beside him laughing and playing, talking about how beautiful the play was just now, and saying that someone died in the tent.The children talked about it in one go, some said that the nobleman died, and some said that the dead man was the old craftsman.

He walked in silence for a while, walked to the white car, and got into the car.Elandia was still sitting there, as if she had never moved.He took off his hat and threw it on the back seat.

"Do you want lunch, Mr. Gongsun?"

"Not hungry."

The white car started, they turned around and drove towards the inner city.On the way, Gongsun Ce saw those long lines again, this time he saw clearly that the lines were all parents or old people with children.

"What team is this?"

"Regular superpower testing." Elandia said, "The population density in the Eastern District is too high, and the official manpower is not enough to support door-to-door services. We can only ask residents to actively cooperate."

Most of the adults who were still queuing looked worried. Not far away, a family of three who had just finished queuing passed by, with relaxed smiles on their parents' faces, as if relieved.

Gongsun Ce watched this scene silently, the car passed one after another until they crossed the river and returned to the inner city.

"--Oh shit!"

This time, Elandia didn't remind him of his manners.
