Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 253
"Hongyiqing" Hadrian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a glass of white wine, looking down at the city at night.

An agent stood behind him and reported in a low voice: "Dear Hong Yiqing——"

"Oh, sorry, I'm a little sleepy." Hadrian said with a smile, "You know, I'm 97 years old, and my energy is not as good as before. I have to go to bed early after drinking this cup..."

"Don't worry, we'll take care of the chores. Have a great night."

The agent left and the door to the office closed.The Genesis Law Envoy fiddled with the old record player in the office, and the serious and deep symphony sounded, but the rhythm carried the cheerful mood of the performers.This is the first record recorded by the Helaan Orchestra 50 years ago. At that time, it was criticized for its eclectic playing techniques, but it was the foundation of their overseas fame.

The old man shook the glass and spilled the wine.The white wine turned into a liquid mirror in the air, reflecting the young figures in the bright hall.

Hadrian sank back into his comfortable chair.

"Rainy days are not suitable for going out. You might as well listen to music and watch dramas. This is the joy of life!"

·
Two districts away, another head of the United States has a different view.He is not in the mood for entertainment, he wants to go out on a rainy night.

Onowell Srock adjusted his tie in the mirror, feeling like a defeated general of Zero Island, holding a poor broken knife, about to lead his defeated army against the overwhelming enemy army Do banzai charge.

In the past two weeks, he has traveled around to gather support, and the response he has received can only be described as pathetic.On the one hand is a newcomer with a deep background and the support of radicals from all sides, and on the other is an old and stubborn old man who has lost the title of patriarch. Everyone knows which side to choose.

The old educator shook his head, ready to step out of the house.That's when the doorbell rang, and the security system told him the identity of the visitor.

Onowell opened the door, and there was a familiar young man standing in the aisle, his azure-colored blond hair had turned into pitch black, making him a little dazed for a moment.

"Mo?"

"It's me, principal." Mo Yuankai smiled, "Some punks want to make trouble, and I don't want to make trouble, so I come here to avoid the limelight."

Onowell looked at his trump card in shock, never expecting that the world's strongest superpower would say this.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! I have more than one available soldier! All members of the army have the ability to—"

"I don't want to see someone get hurt because of protecting me, and I don't want to see you being criticized because of this matter." Mo Yuankai said, "If someone takes the opportunity to play and say that the principal has a secret army to oppress people with superpowers, It’s hard to suppress public opinion.”

The bald headmaster said distressedly: "My ancestors! Are you still worried about others at this time?"

Mo Yuankai touched his head, went into the room and sat down.Onowell said no more, he knew the character of this person.He poured a cup of black tea for the guest and walked to the door again.

"Principal, are you going out?"

"Aurus Otimes will hold a meeting tonight." Onowell's face was cold, "I don't like this self-righteous kid, I will fight him to the end."

"Principal, don't be joking!" Mo Yuankai frowned, "How can you stand alone against them? I'll ask Ace to be your guard—"

"You guys have done enough, now it's up to me to fight."

Mo Yuankai really didn't understand what he was talking about: "Principal, you don't have the ability to fight."

"I'm an adult, Mo. I still have my status, wealth and identity, which are also my credentials for fighting." Onowell looked calm, "I know this is meaningless in the face of the violence of superpowers , but I am the current agent. I can't accept such a cold and ruthless future, even if I am an incompetent person who can only rely on your strength, I will fight that crazy young master to the end!"

Onowell went off alone, like a prisoner on his way to his death.Looking at the old educator's back, Mo Yuankai felt as if he was meeting him for the first time.

He took out the crumpled plan from his pocket, and silently looked at the contents recorded on it.Mo Yuankai lied to them, this is nothing small, the attackers of the Mutual Aid Association prepared a large amount of ammunition, united almost all small gangs that could be counted, and even brought in many famous lone rangers .They mean it.

Mo Yuankai hugged his head in pain, feeling tired and powerless seeping into his bone marrow, as if he couldn't find a way out.

"Can you stop arguing?" He muttered nervously, "Stop talking!"

·
As night fell, the rain intensified.In the southern part of the central area, a thin high school student walked alone with an umbrella, trembling with fear.

After walking for another 3 minutes, I will be home, but I have to pass through an alley on the way home.The law and order has been getting worse and worse these days, and the smell of unrest in the air can be smelled even by ordinary people like him.I heard from a friend in the Thorn District that he heard screams for several nights in a row. Many people saw the disgusting murder scene. It seemed that there was a serial killer there.

Just thinking about it made his hands tremble.Fortunately, this is the central area, and the law and order in the central area is relatively better. There should be no murders... He will not be so unlucky... He should really join the Mutual Aid Association, and a few more people will take care of him if he acts together...

The alley was approaching, so he planned to run quickly so that he could rest assured.He started to run, and suddenly a thick hand stretched out from the alley, pulling him in!Three fierce men were crowded in the alley, and the man who grabbed him held a dagger in his hand.

"Pay the money—"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The heart of the high school student is about to jump out.His body swelled violently, bounced like a bouncy ball, and leaped back to the avenue.The robbers chased after him viciously, and he rolled around in the rain in a panic, not even taking an umbrella.

"Help me!" he subconsciously yelled, "Help me, hero!!"

The three strong men froze when they heard the words, and they looked around nervously.But no one came, not the hero himself, not his strange weapons, not even his attendants.Apart from them, there was only one bald man with an umbrella on the road.

The robbers laughed and were extremely rampant: "Hero? Hahaha! If he quits, no one will come to rescue you, silly X!!"

The high school student who turned into a ball also realized this, and he lay in the puddle with his head in despair, ready for a severe beating.He heard the blunt sound of punches and kicks, and screamed hard: "Ahhh—"

But after calling twice, he found no pain in his body.The high school student turned his head cautiously. Three strong men had fallen to the ground. A bald man bent down and picked up the umbrella he had dropped.

"Don't be afraid, kid." Onowell handed the umbrella to the student, "It's over."

The high school student took the umbrella tremblingly.

"Thank you, thank you..." He noticed the age of the other party, and his gratitude immediately turned into worry and panic, "You, you run away! They have a lot of accomplices!"

"I'll take you back to school." Onowell patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be stupid, you don't even have superpowers!" the high school student gasped, "Stop staying outside, this place will go back to the way it used to be. It's going to go crazy again! The hero is gone, meet No one can save us!!"

The high school student didn't care about holding an umbrella, so he stumbled and ran away.Onowell stared at his back, silent for a long time.

How many similar incidents have occurred during this time, and how many more disturbing atrocities will occur in the future?
Perhaps Aurus was right, Onowell thought sadly.An ugly order is better than no order.

But he still had to fight that person... because he couldn't accept that a selfish and despicable person was at the top of power.

At 7:50 in the evening, the doctor handed over the invitation letter to the waiter in white, and walked into St. Chagot's Cathedral under the guidance of members of the light core.

The construction of this antique-style building funded by Hezhong Enterprise was started 2 years ago to meet the religious beliefs of some residents in this city.The 500-meter-high building has the architectural style of [-] years ago. The white, pink and green marble geometric patterns decorate its appearance beautifully. The huge bronze door in the west of the church adds a bit of solemnity to it. The double structure, dark outside and bright inside, has statues of the great ancestors of Usters revered on the eaves.

The interior of the church is a cross structure, and its intersection is the hall under the dome.The doctor walked slowly in the aisle, his eyes swept over the huge religious paintings decorated on both sides, and his heart was not disturbed or moved.

The gods imagined by believers have never existed in this world. Gods are nothing more than powerful impermanent magicians or giant dragons and their derivatives.Born on Zero Island, she knows this truth all too well.

The doctor walked into the hall.The power distribution on the scene is clear at a glance.The leader of the small faction stands on the right hand side of the entrance, and the lone walkers stand on the left; the Deathwing led by the skeleton leader occupies the front right area, and the members of the Mutual Aid Association are in the front left, and the center of everyone's sight stands on the entire front. At the very front of the hall, standing under the central dome is Aurus Otimes, the leader of the Light Core.

"You're welcome, Doctor." Aurus smiled at her.He is wearing a slim white dress today, and the gold embroidery on it makes him look as solemn as a young general.

"I'll be on time for the appointment." The doctor nodded and walked towards the area of ​​the lone walkers. Caldesia stood by the wall, and no one dared to approach her.

"You're here, senior." The junior said anxiously, "I don't feel right. Is Aurus trying to make trouble?"

Caldesia, if even you can see that something is wrong, it means that he has already completed the arrangement.

The doctor didn't have the heart to tell the truth to the naive school girl, she confirmed the venue again, but she didn't see the two people.

There were too many people in the venue, so the doctor decided to make an exception.She quietly drew a spiritual rune in her pocket with her nails, and asked, "Gongsun Ce and Mo Yuankai?"

"Mo Yuankai can't tell, and Gongsun Ce can't be contacted." Caldesia became more and more impatient, "What are those two idiots doing!"

The doctor recalled Gongsun Ce's poor mental state.I'm afraid this time it's really not good for the old customers.

Fortunately, the doctor is always an outsider. She always waits and sees the changes, and never puts herself in danger.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." The doctor reassured, "Let's see what happens first."

While they were talking, there were constant whispers in the hall.Everyone is guessing, and everyone wants to confirm what medicine Aurus bought in his gourd.

"Let's start." Kushou said coldly.

"Don't be impatient, today's guests have not arrived yet. There is one last guest."

The hour hand pointed to 8, and the big bell on the west side of the church rang.The solemn sound echoed in the hall, and the last guest arrived with the bell.Wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, he looked like a teacher who had just returned from class and rushed to attend the teaching meeting.

Onowell didn't even look at the crowd of superpowers around him. He walked in the center of the hall under the eyes of everyone, and stopped not far from Aurus.

"Welcome to you, the principal of the Central United University, the former agent of the city, the patriarch of the Srock family, Mr. Onowell Slock." Aurus saluted him, "Now, our meeting We can officially begin."

"Could you please introduce me to the participants in this meeting?" Onowell said.

"My honor, Mr. Onowell." Aurus introduced the members present one by one, "John Garcia, the leader of Deathwing, the largest gang leader in this city. Cao Xin, the president of the Acting Mutual Aid Association Chi Zijing attended to express the appeals of ordinary citizens. The doctor, Caldesia Spencer, a powerful superpower who walks alone. Joanna, the agent Lena Cecil attended, the city's most sophisticated scientific research team. Also There are leaders of small organizations and representatives of independent groups, if you are interested, I can introduce you one by one."

"The introduction was full of mistakes and omissions at the beginning, and I am pessimistic about the outcome of this meeting." Onowell said disdainfully.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Principal?"

Onowell's gaze swept across the audience, and many superpowers felt their hearts shrink.His gaze is majestic and full of deterrence, reminding the teenagers of the scene when the elders at home got angry when they were young.

"Gangsters? Ordinary citizens? Elites? Organizations, groups... blah blah blah. Look at the people you've brought together. They're mentally immature. They've suffered from childhood. They haven't even formed a view of the world and life. They're just a bunch of kids. What can they represent?" Onowell said loudly, "What children should do is go to school and play, not pretend to be social people here!"

Aurus clapped his hands: "Maybe you forgot, they are superpowers."

"Even if a boy holds the button that can destroy the country, he is still an immature boy!" Onowell said fiercely, "Since I came to this city, I have done everything in my power to make the children live a better life." Normal life. Now that I'm down, I want to see what kind of future the new successor will bring, and this is your answer? Pull the kids out of their daily routine and let them step into the mix early The vanity fair of the relationship between malice and profit?"

He looked at the faces of the young people one by one: "You should not form cliques here, you should not participate in any meetings here. You should go to study, go to rest, go to play, go to live a peaceful life, go to the Spending time in leisure is the right that you young people should have! When you mature, it is up to you to decide whether to do good or evil, but now you are still children, you should listen to the advice of the elders!"

Onowell's speech made many people a little scared, but immediately, a sneer sounded.

"Sounding, Mr. Principal. Could you please be merciful and answer my poor student's question, who dragged us out of our homes and locked us in this big prison?"

The person who spoke was a young man from Zero Island dressed as a punk. He walked up to Onowell and looked at him carelessly.

"Aren't the grown-ups?" said the young man sharply. "Haven't the self-righteous gentlemen created this situation? Now we're going to solve the problem ourselves, and you're coming here to talk about, ah, the rights of young people?"

He pushed hard on Onowell's chest.

"Forget it, bald man! Go back to your school and teach the kids, you don't have a place to talk here!"

The old teacher of Hezhong grabbed his wrist and intensified his strength under the surprised eyes of the young punks.

"Look at your performance, child. It is the lack of basic education and ordinary childhood that made you look so sad!" Onowell yelled angrily, "You still have a long life The way to go! Do you want to hang around like this forever in the future? Be a street hooligan and rely on your super powers to be a mercenary for a living? But if you get a normal education, you can at least learn to be gentle Talk, learn the logic of dealing with affairs, and have a possibility beyond muddling through the day!"

The punk youth was frightened and didn't know what to say for a while.Onowell straightened his collar and pushed the boy aside.

He looked at the people in the whole hall and felt heartbroken.It is a sad thing that children with power are pushed to the front of the stage by ugly adults and play tricks with immature means!
"The containment system of the capital of the firmament is an important matter decided by the entire human society, and it cannot be shaken by the opinions of one or two people. But at least we can let the children live better here, instead of depriving them of their rights even worse! I I hope you can listen to my words, temporarily extinguish your impulses, think rationally about your situation, and think about what you really want!"

There was a lot of whispering in the venue, and the eyes of many small organization members and solo travelers flashed.Aurus clapped his hands, attracting everyone's ideas when public opinion was about to rise.

He overthrew Onowell's painstaking efforts with only one sentence.

Aurus smiled and said, "But it is because you failed that we are here to discuss the future."

He hit Onowell's nails.It is precisely because his former agent cannot maintain that the current situation has emerged.The teenagers who were shaken by the principal's speech strengthened their resolve again.They looked at the educator indifferently and ignored him at all.

"Get out of here, old man." "Go back to your school and play games with the kids." "You don't have a place to talk here!"

Laughter erupted in the hall, and the doctor watched coldly from the sidelines, understanding the purpose of the play.Aurus had grasped the principal's temper, and wanted to make him lose face here, smash the little dignity left by the former agent, and make him a stepping stone for the new leader.

Onowell, who has lost his strength, can't affect the overall situation in the capital of the sky. This is an execution from the very beginning.

Onowell was not afraid, and glared at each other: "I can't smell the meeting here. I can't see a host who really wants to solve the problem, only a self-righteous young master who uses his various methods to buy the mind Incomplete young people, using childish schemes, holding up a hypocritical banner, want to set off a rebellion that will harm everyone!"

Boom!The sound of a blunt weapon falling to the ground sounded, and Badman stepped out from the crowd.He looked down at the headmaster, shrugging his shoulders.

"Nobody gives a shit about your crap, old man." Badman spat disdainfully, "Get out!"

Caldesia couldn't help getting angry: "Badman! Is it your Deathwing's style to take the lead in bullying a good old man?!"

"Calm down, friends, calm down." Aurus walked among the crowd, "Thank you Mr. Onowell for his speech, I promise to consider his opinion in the meeting..."

He smiled and gestured to the old Headmaster.

Onoville disappeared from the spot, and he was nowhere to be seen.

"...when Mr. Onowell finds his way back here."

The hall roared with laughter, and the old headmaster became a laughing stock.All of Onowell's efforts and persuasion became extremely pale at this moment. In front of this group of children with powerful hands, he never had any capital to speak.

He doesn't even have superpowers.
