"call……"
Gongsun Ce put his hand into his trouser pocket, and his glasses case was lying safely where he had been before falling asleep.
He puts on his glasses.
My vision became clear again, not as hazy as before. The young man breathed calmly and observed the surrounding environment.
This is a noisy fast food restaurant. It has obviously passed the lunch peak period, but there are still many customers there.
"It's scary. Let me tell you, my uncle happened to be on a business trip in Morton Kingdom three years ago..."
"Didn't you watch Xingli-chan's concert yesterday? The new music is pretty good. I recommend you to try it when you have time..."
Most of the customers in this restaurant are students from nearby. Young teenagers and girls crowded in front of the counter and self-service machines, talking and laughing loudly without caring about the feelings of others. The sound even covered the news broadcast on the screen wall. past.
"...The real culprit of the massacre in the eastern part of Lingdao early last month has not yet been arrested. Today, Lingdao police increased the reward to 2 million to arrest the suspect..."
On the TV screen installed on the wall, the female anchor was reading a press release in a precise manner, but unfortunately she could not hear clearly in the noise.
Gongsun Ce is not a person with enhanced abilities, so he cannot accurately capture the information of interest by just relying on his ears in this environment. He shook his head to get rid of the last trace of fog remaining in his mind, and looked at the TV again. At this time, the female host had already begun to talk about the news about the biochemical carriage.
He sighed, no longer paying attention to these irrelevant things, and focused on himself.
He was sitting in the four-seater by the window, with his small bag lying quietly under the seat, and his mobile phone and house keys also in his trouser pocket.
Everything was the same as before falling asleep, except for the reactions of the three friends in the four-seater.
"Ace, you look so bad."
The girl across the table looked at him expressionlessly. She pointed at him with a small table knife as she ate the fries with a fork.
"It can be called a tragedy, that face."
The girl diagonally opposite had an extremely exaggerated expression, as if she had witnessed with her own eyes the tragedy of Happy Family buckets being scattered all over the floor in front of their home.
"Gongsun, your face now reminds me of the male protagonist in a thriller movie who is haunted by evil spirits."
The young man on the left handed him a mirror and asked him to look at his face.
too exaggerated.
Even if I just had a nightmare, it wasn't like what they said.
Not to the point.
...Isn’t that the case?
Gongsun Ce took the mirror. The person in the mirror has gray hair and black eyes, and wears a pair of square-rimmed glasses. His face has some red marks from falling asleep with his pillow on his arm, and he looks like a student who is distracted in class.
Other than that, nothing unusual.
He frowned and stared at the mirror for three seconds before he realized the fact that he had been tricked in the rising laughter of the three people.
Gongsun Ce immediately decided to retaliate. He handed the mirror back, put his hands on his forehead, and said in a tone that contained three parts of trembling, three parts of shock, three parts of confusion and one part of sadness: "...Who are you?"
The laughter of the three people stopped suddenly. He did not watch the expressions at that moment - which would reveal flaws - but continued to say in a perfect disguised voice: "I... where am I..."
The girl across the corner took a deep breath, slapped the table and stood up: "Are you so serious this time?! Have you lost your memory?!"
She has deep features, wears a black top hat, a white shirt, a black jacket and a brown trousers. She has short shiny golden hair. Just by looking at her appearance, she can tell that she is a student from outside the empire.
Her name is Caldesia. She is a United States citizen who is half Kingdom blood and half Northland blood. She looks like a mixed-race person set up like the protagonist of a shoujo manga. As a foreigner, she could speak the imperial language as authentically as a local, and that talent was one of the reasons why Gongsun Ce evaluated her so.
Gongsun Ce tried his best to hold back his laughter.
"What are you talking about, where is this...?"
The black-haired young man on the left patted his shoulder.
"This is a sky city located above the border between the Empire and the United States. It was transformed into a floating city from the corpse of the Sky Dragon."
This person has a beautiful face, a slender figure, cool medium-long hair, white gloves, and a black suit. To say that he is well-groomed, he is impeccable... It's a pity that he looks like a pervert sitting in a fast food restaurant on the second floor of a shopping mall. Not much different.
He is Reiichi Shigure, a handsome young man from Zero Island.
"Do you still remember your name and abilities? Can you remember super powers and dragon disasters? It's a bit troublesome to explain all this to you from scratch. We must start with the sky disaster and super power outbreak ten years ago. …”
Shigure is trying to explain the current world situation in the most concise and understandable terms. His tone is soft and his words are as simple as a preschool teacher who teaches children who are just beginning to understand.
There was almost no hint of teasing in his concerned eyes, but Gongsun Ce felt that he had seen through his disguise.
"I know...I remembered, I am Gongsun Ce...this is..."
The girl across the table forked five French fries in one go.
"This is the capital of the sky. A city-state on corpses, a shelter for superpowers, a sinful city that has exceeded the moral bottom line of the world every year since its launch. It is said that the complaints received from human rights activists every day are as high as a hill... …Aww.”
While saying this she ate all the fries in one bite.
The girl has long black hair and is wearing a dark green plaid coat and a light yellow tutu skirt. Her expression has never changed since Gongsun Ce woke up: except for the opening and closing of her lips when speaking, and the occasional movement of her eyes, there is no visible change in emotional fluctuations, which matches her calm tone of voice. They complement each other even more.
Others might think this was some kind of prank, but in his opinion this was not unusual, because since he met the girl named Qin Qianbai, he had never seen this person show an expression other than "expressionless".
Qin Qianbai poked his face with two fingers, "Commonly known as Dragon Corpse City, the big prison in the sky. Look, look, this is a proud expression that only tells one-sided information in an attempt to induce you to play a prank."
"Sorry, I really can't tell."
"Your observation skills are still so poor. Shouldn't you have some special performance after losing your memory?"
It is impossible to see the changes in your expression unless you have awakened some kind of super power such as "expression observation".
While making this evaluation in his heart, Gongsun Ce thought that it was a very objective statement to only tell the inducement of one-sided information.
As the girl said, this city, home to about 5.7 million people, defies common sense in every aspect and is a terrible place.
At the same time, the Sky City is also a city in the sky that gathers the highest technological achievements from all over the world, provides the best education and services in the world, and is built only for people with super powers.
The only city in the world that belongs to people with super powers.
"Oh...I remembered it all..."
I've already felt the suspicious gaze, and I won't be able to hold on if I keep pretending. Realizing this, he spoke decisively and pointed at the girl diagonally opposite before the three bastards spoke: "You are...!"
Caldesia looked delighted: "Has the memory been restored?"
Gongsun Ce pressed his temples hard and looked like he was desperately trying to remember: "You have left a deep impression on me... Now that I think about it, you are a middle-class sadist!"
The blonde girl's smile froze on her face.
Gongsun Ce seized the opportunity and pointed at the young man beside him: "Perverted man in suit!"
"My heart has been greatly hurt. No matter how you call me such a title, it is too much." Shigure pressed his heart.
The girl across the table held up a plastic knife and fork with both hands.
By the way, where did she find this thing?
Although it is ironic to say this in a fast food restaurant that only provides hamburgers, fried chicken and French fries - what most people think of as junk food, in order to promote the concept of environmental protection, most restaurants in the Sky City have not said this recently. Plastic cutlery and even plastic straws are not provided.
Could it be that the pair of tableware, which shone with food grease and had food residue on the tips, was brought by this guy himself?
Holding a weapon that is extremely threatening to cleanliness lovers, Miss Qin Qianbai issued a plain threat: "Look, look, this is the expression that will kill you if you dare to say violent words."
But it's a pity.
One of the tenets this man named Gongsun Ce firmly believed in was never to succumb to violence.
He stood up decisively, waved his hands like a lawyer who reversed the situation in a judgment game, and spoke with a desperate and decisive attitude: "Masked Tiehanhan!"
He didn't care about the astonished eyes of others and shouted loudly like a navigator who saw the New World on the last day when he ran out of ammunition and food.
The shouts even covered up the noise in the store, and everyone in the fast food restaurant looked towards this table.
"Come on, Xiaoqian, fuck him."
"I agree. Come on. I'll treat you to ice cream at my expense."
The plastic tableware in the expressionless girl's hands was covered with a black luster.
She struck the knife and fork against each other, making a sound like gold and iron.
Qin Qianbai nodded with satisfaction and pointed the tip of the knife at the eyes of the man across the table.
Gongsun Ce realized that this guy had just used her "super power".
The so-called superpowers are a general term for supernatural phenomena that are actively triggered by a very small number of teenagers. Their specific manifestations vary greatly depending on the individual. Such as releasing flames out of thin air, improving physical movement ability, teleporting objects, telepathy... No matter what, there is no scientific basis. Every superpower is enough to make researchers in the field of ability-related madness to the point of vomiting blood.
The eldest lady's ability is to change the "nature" of objects.
Such as hardness, stiffness, strength, rigidity... The only thing she cannot interfere with is the shape, volume and quality of the object itself, and as long as the parameters that determine its properties can be changed by her ability.
Therefore, she can make extremely soft steel and extremely hard plasticine. In this case, Miss Qin is undoubtedly using multiple interference, that is, adjusting various parameters at the same time to make what should be harmless An advanced technique that turns plastic knives and forks into hidden weapons capable of killing people.
"Most people will be hospitalized if a sharp object as hard as steel is inserted into the eye. I think you know this common sense."
"Don't be afraid. You won't die. Just stand where you are and don't move - Qin's Secret Biography: Double Lotus Flower!"
The girl shook her hands, and the black knife and fork shot at Gongsun Ce's eyes at the same time, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
"It's just throwing out hidden weapons, which is the secret of the Qin family. You came up with the name of this street stall move yourself!"
"Of course the special skill I created is the secret of the Qin family."
He spends his precious time speaking out sarcastic remarks rather than dodging attacks.
This is not out of trust in friends, nor does it underestimate the other party's attacks.
Just because it's not necessary.
The moment before it was about to pierce his eyes, the black knife and fork stayed in the air.
Without any support or interference from any external object, this simple hidden weapon stopped without any reason, as if a pair of invisible hands pinched it in the air at the critical moment.
Like the expressionless girl, like the other two friends at the table, like all the students in this restaurant, like the vast majority of residents in this city, this young man with glasses is also a person with supernatural abilities. people.
They are also commonly known as superpowers.
Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses and let the knife and fork float up and down in the air, then floated back to Qin Qianbai's plate like a tap dance: "As you wish, I didn't move."
The students watching were talking a lot.
Caldesia put her hands behind her head and leaned against the back of her chair to complain: "What's so interesting? Everyone is making a fuss here even though they all have superpowers."
"Having said that, there aren't many students who use it as blatantly as they do."
Shigure picked up a chicken drumstick with his white-gloved hands and seemed to be hesitating about how to eat it. "What's more, whether it's Gongsun Ce's 'Momentary Spiral' or Qin Qianbai's 'Character Change', they are both top-notch talents. It's inevitable to be curious... I thought someone would come to talk to Qin Qianbai again. "
"Don't give me such a middle-class name for my simple and unsophisticated abilities." The superpower person sat back in his seat and took the lead in protesting, "Besides, why do I only talk to Miss Qin every time? I'm pretty handsome anyway, so... Isn’t there anyone here to chat with Mr. Gongsun?”
"Even if an idiot has superpowers, he's still an idiot."
Miss Qin's response made the other two people nod in agreement.
Gongsun Ce sighed: "Okay, okay, this cycle of pranks is over. After another nightmare, I haven't turned into a monster yet. Don't you think this is something worth celebrating?"
The three of them shook their heads.
Perverted man in suit: "I don't think so."
Masked Tiehanhan: "What a pity."
Chuuni Sadist: "It would be more fun to just become a monster!"
Why did I make such friends?
Should this be said to be unfortunate? The truly unfortunate people are those who have no friends, but for two women and one man to say such things to their friends, is that really too much?
It was a joke, but he didn't feel angry.
Gongsun Ce has never been a pessimist.
He always has moderate expectations for the future, is full of confidence in life, and lives his life like a floating board on a calm sea.
Therefore, he did not blame the three people for not asking after him, but for making fun of him when he woke up.
Instead, he was grateful.
This is the chat and teasing that only belongs to daily life, and it is an atmosphere that allows him to enjoy life with peace of mind.
A nightmare is just a nightmare after all, everything is over.
Only some broken memories are left in the hearts of those involved.
He narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.
The sky was clear in the afternoon, and the bright sunlight illuminated the streets, casting a golden glow on everything he saw.
He stretched, drove the last traces of the nightmare away from his mind, and began to think about his next trip.
But before that, there is still a problem that still needs to be solved...
"I remember that before I fell asleep, I came here to get a seat and ordered a spicy burger set meal. Why didn't you tell me that the burger wasn't even on the plate after I woke up?"
Caldesia made a scissor hand gesture: "We saw you lying on the table and taking a nap without moving a bite, so we thought you weren't hungry, so we ate it for you first, hehe~"
One second later, riots broke out again in the fast food restaurant.
The thirty-minute commotion ended with the four idiots jointly apologizing to the clerk.
Gongsun Ce got an extra-large happy bucket for three people.
Thankfully, no innocent bystanders or fried chicken burgers were harmed in this incident.
