Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 13 Behind the Mission
"Look, look, this is an expression full of anticipation. Posting this photo on the forum will definitely get a lot of comments."

"So you don't want to!"

Gongsun Ce hurriedly stretched out his hand, and the girl retracted the phone like lightning, with the care of a hamster hiding grain.

It was too late to explain the situation to Alice beside her.

Now, here, if there is no way to do it, the reputation of the good young Gongsun Ce will be over!

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried his best to calm down and said: "Miss, calm down, I don't know what you misunderstood..."

"There's no need to explain, Ah Ce, even I didn't expect you to hide such a side. This is no longer a topic that should be discussed among friends, but a more serious and meaningful social issue. I want Ke Ke to discuss it on the forum. It is a rational decision to discuss with Fang Qiu with his literary talents."

"What kind of misunderstanding did you have to say such a thing!"

Qin Qianbai wiped the sweat off his face with a napkin: "Do you want me, who is in a complicated mood, to speak?"

"Where is the complicated point?! Could it be that I have done something bad to embarrass my friends?!"

Alice decided not to participate in the conversation between the two. At this time, with a smirk on her face, she was already looking for the boss to order.

Qin Qianbai rested his hand on his chin, as if after careful consideration, he said expressionlessly, "Then Ah Ce, listen carefully. The students who had class in the afternoon skipped class and had a quick meal with us, and then Went home as if nothing had happened. I thought it was because I was unwell, but I saw him dining with suspicious older socialites at a ramen place a few blocks from his home look."

Alice screamed inappropriately: "Wait a minute, who is the suspicious older social person?!"

Miss Qin hammered her hand with her fist.

"Usually he is considered a good student, he did not hesitate to play truant to do this, which really makes me feel complicated. Don't worry, even though I won't help you keep it secret, I won't alienate you because of it, no matter what happens to you in the future. Going to questionable hotels or strange alleys or closed warehouses like illegal buildings, I don't bother."

Not anymore.

Even though I wanted to say something like before, even this spare energy has disappeared now.

"Hey, do I look suspicious!"

Alice yelled eagerly, and the girl sitting next to her couldn't help nodding: "Like."'

thump!
Gongsun Ce lay on the bar table and interrupted the conversation of the idiots with a dull voice.He slowly raised his right arm like a zombie, pointing to the girl on the right.

"Miss, you..."

The eldest lady tilted her head: "Me?"

Gongsun Ce suddenly raised his head: "You should read less adult magazines! Leaving aside the fact that I, as a man, would never encounter such a thing, please don't bring the outrageous plots in magazines into real life!"

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing." Qin Qianbai crossed his hands into an "X".

"Stop lying, then where did you know this!"

"Caldesia said it when I was chatting with me."

"That nasty hat girl!"

Nowadays, are there really college students who can chat with female classmates with a little yellow book?The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the woman in the blond hat could do such a thing, what kind of worldly things are this!

Poor Gongsun Ce made up his mind to complain to Mr. Shi Yu when the matter was resolved.

Qin Qianbai picked up the noodle bowl and sipped the noodle soup, seeming to have no intention of introspection at all.

"All in all, I am only assisting this stranger I just met this afternoon out of the most basic sense of responsibility. In a word, it is the behavior of a good young man who is willing to help others. Do you understand?"

Qin Qianbai put down the noodle bowl, wiped his mouth carefully, and said, "Then I won't post it on the forum."

"Don't take things for granted like you're making major concessions."

"This sounds like a strange thing. What Ah Ce wants to do is his own freedom, but..."

Qin Qianbai looked into his eyes.

"Before helping others, it's better to solve your own affairs first?"

After leaving these words, Miss Qin said goodbye and left the noodle shop.

·
The skilled boss didn't make the diners wait too long, and Gongsun Ce's dinner was on the table in less than 5 minutes.

On the bottom of the large black noodle bowl, put the pre-prepared fried garlic, and then a small spoonful of special soy sauce, followed by a large spoonful of broth, which stimulates the aroma of garlic and oil in the heat.Put the ramen noodles in as soon as possible, stir them quickly in the noodle soup, and dye them in color, followed by rapeseed, seaweed and soft-boiled eggs, and the last thing pressed on the noodles is a large piece of deep-fried tofu—the one that Gongsun Ce just finished beating. One time, I really don't want to eat meat.

He took the big bowl, put a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, and took another bite of tofu.The aroma of fat and broth is wrapped in the noodles, and the soup absorbed by the tofu explodes in the mouth as soon as you chew it, which is deeply enjoyable.

This kind of high-calorie food with heavy oil and salt is always very popular in this city: using superpowers requires physical strength, so superpower users always have a big appetite.

"call……"

Gongsun Ce sighed contentedly, and was about to finish dinner quickly, but felt a subtle collision in his arm.

Alice poked him with her elbow, with a gossip smile on her face: "Girlfriend~?"

"Why should I eat ramen with you now if I have a girlfriend."

"What, what?! You're saying it like it's a disadvantage to go out with me! After all, I'm still a first-class beautiful girl just by looking at my appearance and figure!"

"Hmph..." Gongsun Ce laughed disdainfully, and looked at his companion beside him from the standpoint of a healthy man rather than a superpower.

She has a slender figure, a slender waist and long legs, and her tall breasts are slightly restrained by a close-fitting hunting suit, which highlights the beauty of women better than the revealing clothes; she has a beautiful face, but there are no traces of heavy makeup, It's probably because the makeup will always fade away during the running, and only the eyebrows are lightly drawn.

At this time, Gongsun Ce realized that his companion was actually a charming woman. The beauty was not only in her appearance and figure, but also in her graceful manner.Alice had just fought in the dock area, and even after cleaning up after the battle, she still had dust on her body, but the hunter didn't care at all, and still sat in the shop sipping noodle soup openly, taking the campus with her every move. The calmness that is hard to find in girls.Her blue hair was too long and almost fell into the bowl, so Alice lifted her long hair, revealing a section of covered skin inadvertently.

Her neck was slightly red from the exercise, and there were still beads of sweat on it.

"..."

Gongsun Ce turned his eyes to the side, attracting his companions to stare curiously: "? You poisonous man didn't argue with me?"

"...Miss Alice is indeed a first-rate beauty."

"Hmph, it seems that you have finally realized the charm of my big sister-wait for me, what do you mean by deliberately omitting the word 'less'?!"

"If you don't feel so sad, you can really become that kind of sassy beauty." Gongsun Ce said sincerely.

"It's so annoying, if I can really do it, why don't I eat ramen with you now!"

It seems that you have realized it yourself...

Alice ate the noodles angrily. She ordered hot and spicy ramen with a red soup base, which was really rare among the kingdom people who are not good at spicy food.

"Then, Miss Alice..."

After finishing half a bowl of noodles, Gongsun Ce planned to talk about something serious.He was thinking about how to use his ability to make a soundproof barrier, but he gave up this plan just halfway through his thought.

Alice dipped her chopsticks into the noodle soup, and drew a strange symbol on the napkin. It looked like an upside-down hook, and another line was drawn obliquely in the middle.For no reason, although the voice he heard in his ears had not changed, Gongsun Ce felt that the surrounding environment had become "quiet".

"This is the basic rune of the spirit. After using this, our conversation will become noise, and it will not leave an impression in the memory of ordinary people. This is probably useless for the impermanent magician and the psychic superpower. Isn’t this ramen shop a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?”

Psyche... I remember that it is a mental picture that is good at controlling the mind and creating illusions.

This thing is so convenient.This little trick alone is considered a separate "ability", and an expert is worthy of being an expert.

"Anxin, the boss is an ordinary person. Now I can ask with peace of mind, and you know what I want to ask."

Alice took two mouthfuls of noodles and said inarticulately, "Well, bah, an agent of the United States."

"Exactly, Mr. White's attitude is very strange. You two seem to be competing, but you choose to help each other when you are attacked. Now you need information, but you don't intend to ask him-with all due respect, you What are these official experts doing?"

Alice said dully: "Haven't you already thought it through, and the experts are not of one mind... The impact of the big situation is not only on the surface society, but also on the inside world. Agents consider the interests of the United States, pedestrian behavior Allegiance to the empire, of course a hunter like me will work for the kingdom."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce understood the embarrassment of the experts.What bothers them is the problem of the so-called "big situation".

The world today is basically bipolar.The "Eternal Light Empire" with a vast territory and a long history controlled the southern continent and most of the vast sea; and the "United States of Urstes", which spread a large area of ​​land horizontally like an eagle spreading its wings based on the northern continent, are the strongest in the world. Sheng's poles.

Condescending below the two poles is the "Morton Kingdom", an island nation located on the southwest side of the North Continent and in the west of the Lost Sea.After that, there will be "Zero Island", a military-business coalition government whose national strength is inferior to the other three countries, but also has a place in the world.

These four countries almost control more than 90% of the world's land. Outside their sphere of influence, there are only the polar circle, which is extremely cold and uninhabitable, and the Nanyang Islands scattered in the vast sea.There are also some small countries based on tiny places on those lands, but they have no effect on the overall situation.

"What do the great powers want to compete for? Do they regard dragon worshipers as resources?" Gongsun Ce asked with a frown.

"It's different from your imagination. How should I put it... When it comes to the Empire, the United States and the Kingdom, what do you think of?"

"Of course it is the capital of the sky." Gongsun Ce replied without thinking.

The establishment of the capital of the sky can be described as an unprecedented international plan.The Eternal Light Empire gave up the corpse of the Dragon of the Sky, the United States of Usters provided several core technologies needed to build the floating city, and the Kingdom of Morton contributed inhibitor technology, allowing ordinary people to enter the gathering place of superpowers , don't worry about being interfered by abilities.

With the leadership of the three countries and the concerted efforts of the international community, the world's largest prison was finally built.And the three countries that contributed the most in the initial stage naturally have the greatest jurisdiction over the city.The consuls of the Firmament Capital are changed every three years, and the commissioners sent by the three major countries take turns.

"You should know that the kingdom's national strength in the outer world is far inferior to that of Everlight and Usters. The real reason why the kingdom can control the capital of the sky lies in the strong power we have in the inner world." Alice stirred the noodle soup in annoyance. , "The Kingdom's Impermanence Law Envoy contributed many necessary technologies... so we have a 'right' in this matter."

"The kingdom's impermanence is very strong." Gongsun Ce agreed.

"It used to be very strong." Alice corrected, "Do you know how powerful we were in the past? Our kingdom officially has four world creation envoys, who are great existences that can affect the entire world with the power of one person! Everything changed after Kingdom Crash..."

Alice's voice sounded extremely bitter: "Her Majesty the Queen has passed away, the glorious Knight Commander has died, the invincible Dawn Knight has weakened after the battle, and the wise chief mage is still asleep. We have lost so many The battle strength is so important, and the appearances and supernatural powers that died in that disaster are even more innumerable..."

The Dawn Knight was weakened, and these words made Gongsun Ce feel depressed.He said softly: "...This is the dragon disaster."

Nether disaster, glazed disaster.The two huge disasters that happened in one day caused an unprecedented heavy damage to a powerful country.Many people he once knew died after that day, and the magnificent city he remembered was long ago in ruins.

"Yeah, this is the terrible dragon disaster!" Alice smiled helplessly, "The dragon lunatics we are tracking now probably have the ability to summon giant dragons. Do you understand what the experts are robbing?"

Gongsun Ce fully understood this delicate situation.

The giant dragon phenomenon has the power to destroy the country. It is a deterrent force that is more terrifying than all modern weapons. No force does not want to take this power into its pocket.The experts have a heavy responsibility. They must not let the dragon worshipers succeed, but they will never allow other countries to obtain this possible extinction weapon.

"Are they crazy?" Gongsun Ce was deeply anxious, "That's a dragon!"

"Ten years ago we were still fighting a war without gunpowder, and you couldn't expect everyone to have a clear mind."

Alice acted more rationally than him. Hunter bowed his head and finished the last mouthful of ramen, gulped down the noodle soup, and put down his chopsticks.

She turned her head sideways and watched the game broadcast on TV.The veterans on the field were chased by the rookies again and again, and lost steadily.

"Okay, Gongsun Ce." Alice said softly, "Now that you know this, it's time for you to quit."
