At 5:43, at the edge of the fixed wing area of the Sky City, Hui Yu stood.
"Gu Gu."
Signboards with gray feather patterns were erected at the four corners of the building's rooftop, rotating with the direction of the wind.
The big pigeon hooked a long gray pipe with its claws and landed on the top floor of the building.
Gongsun Ce and Alice jumped off the bird's back.
"Is Mr. Admirer moving?"
"The signal shows that he is still in the area we locked. Either he is sure that he has completely escaped tracking and is resting, or he has discovered the transmitter and is preparing to set a trap in turn. I hope it is the former."
"Is your transmitter, which took nearly half an hour to respond after installation, really okay?"
"I'm sure he ran to the sewers or underground before. Ah Bu Long Wei, I don't know what you call it, but it was the place under his feet where he hid. Otherwise, why wouldn't there be even a signal!"
"Is this transmitter a bargain from the evening sale supermarket?"
The hunters of the kingdom actually did not deny the bargain.
"When I bought this thing, could I have thought that I would catch a dragon madman in the Sky City?! Let me tell you, I have become a very advanced hunter with the times. Now there are many colleagues who rely on scent tracking and fortune telling. The success rate of using the same method to find people in a big city with a lot of disruptive factors is not much different from asking people with your eyes closed."
"Speak less, Miss Alice. Impermanence has made the image of this group of people become more and more useless in my mind. No matter what I think, it's all your fault."
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked out of the main entrance of the building and faced the busy street.
As Gongsun Ce said before, now that we have perfectly caught up with the rush hour after get off work, the lanes in the Sky City can be described as watertight: It doesn’t matter which university you drove out of as a sports car test product or you are transporting goods from a construction site. The manned mecha that came, whether it was a school bus transporting students to and from a prestigious school or a luxurious carriage pulled by several biochemical horses, could only stay in place restlessly under the insurmountable obstacle of the evening rush hour. Move forward a distance of less than half a meter within the interval where the traffic light changes several times.
Although she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the car through the window, Alice seemed to hear the impatient noises made by the drivers as they pointed their fingers at the steering wheel. Not far away, a luxury car collided with the carriage. The young driver's angry yelling, the neighing of the horse, and the varying pitches of horns from numerous vehicles merged with the hitting sounds in her hallucinations. Together they composed a contemporary symphony called Traffic Jam.
All they saw were relatively remote side roads. Several main roads leading from the core area to other areas would probably be even more blocked than this.
Not everyone can afford to rent expensive housing in the core, and not everyone has the confidence to ride one of those ridiculous birds or birdcars without problems. The synonym for a reliable and stable means of transportation that meets the needs of ordinary people is always a car...or a bicycle.
As for some superpowers who run at high speeds on the street or simply use their abilities to take off, that is a different matter. If nothing unexpected happens, the school will have a serious interview with them within a day.
Whether it is effective depends on the specific individual.
Gongsun Ce enlarged the map on his mobile phone and planned the route in his mind.
"That should be the port area for unloading. It's a good place to hide. Let's cross the overpass in front first, and then walk for about 7 minutes to get there." He noticed that his companion was speechless, "What's wrong with that expression on your face?" , isn’t there a traffic jam in the Kingdom after get off work?”
Alice rolled her eyes: "It's blocked, but at least we can choose to squeeze into a can with other people in the subway. This place is called a high-tech city but there is no subway?"
"Good question. I discussed this with my friends some time ago. Judging from the underground energy transmission pipelines all over the city, even if there is the corpse of a giant dragon under our feet, the government definitely has the ability to start construction underground. Then why doesn’t Sky Capital even have a subway plan so far? After discussing it for half an hour, we came to the conclusion that it is probably because the great emperor and heads of state have observed it for so long and feel that it is purely foolish to throw money at this crappy place again. It’s a waste, and it’s starting to get ruined.”
"Don't make it sound like this place belongs to your empire. No matter in name or in actual management, this place is governed by the three kingdoms."
"I am an Empire person. Based on my personal observation, the Empire's influence here is greater than that of the United States and the Kingdom."
"This is just your personal prejudice..."
They were walking on the overpass, and the dynamic screens on both sides of the aisle were broadcasting the evening news report: A number of precious cultural relics were unearthed from the Lysan 1 ruins discovered in Khlong Thong Province last month. Experts said it was most likely to be used for historical research on the early days of the empire. Providing breakthrough progress; Rei Shigure, the wanted criminal in the serious case of Zero Island, is still on the run. Officials have announced that he is extremely dangerous and is very likely to be a person with super powers. We hope that the public will actively provide information; Sesi, Central Union University, the capital of the sky Er Laboratory announced that the results of the cyberspace experiment were gratifying, and that universal network immortality is no longer a fantasy in literary and artistic works. The official spokesperson of the Imperial Ministry of Rites called it nonsense... After the news bulletin, there was an advertisement for the new CD of local idol Xingli.
Gongsun Ce walked quickly and was not idle. He had already deviated from the original topic and began to criticize the official government of Sky City from various angles. During this period, he often quoted a friend named Caldesia. vitriolic comments.
Alice had no interest in these topics, so she quickly found an excuse to interrupt his tirade: "Let's not mention these, do you remember everything I just told you?"
The superpower shut his mouth, and the hunter knew that the college student's guidance session had finally come to an end.
"You didn't talk much, so I remember it very well." They walked down the escalator and were almost at the dock area marked by the signal. "From your description, this enemy's performance is a bit tricky..."
Alice noticed that he used the word performance instead of ability, which showed that the young man was cautious in fighting and did not determine the opponent's full picture based on a little information.
Considering his previous fighting style, this is not the quality of a student who only uses his superpowers to "little fights" with his classmates in the city. Is this city darker than she imagined, or is this young man's resume richer than she expected?
Maybe both.
Considering that the other party was probably one of the people who had personally experienced the collapse of the kingdom, she made the above judgment.
At this time, Gongsun Ce was thinking about the explanation he listened to on the pigeon's back more than ten minutes ago.
Due to time constraints, the hunter did not tell him in detail. She only described two things in detail, one was the enemy they were about to face, and the other was the impermanence method she used.
The young man replayed in his mind the Kingdom woman's imperial language with an exotic accent.
"The Impermanence Technique is a technique that uses the power of the mind to affect reality. As for its original intention and function, you already know its other name - the Impermanence Technique is also known as the Dragon Slaying Technique."
According to the blue-haired woman, this incredible technique was created by the first dragon-slaying hero in human history, Emperor Lingyang of the Eternal Light Empire.
"You must have read those legendary stories when you were a child, right? As an imperial member, you must know the legend of Emperor Lingyang better than I do. There are also saints who slay dragons, warriors who bathed in dragon blood, and warriors who slayed dragons... all of these It’s a fact. Except for some artistic exaggeration, it’s basically what happened. The heroes in mythology and history were the strongest magicians of that era.”
As the woman said, "How did human beings establish civilization instead of being exterminated by the dragon phenomenon before that?" This difficult problem that has troubled historical circles for many years has a perfect answer: it was all thanks to the dragon-slaying heroes. A miracle that can only be achieved by protecting one party.
As a modern young man with common sense, Gongsun Ce asked at that time: "Is there any reason to hide this?"
"How many talented people do you think are suitable for practicing the law of impermanence? Note that I said suitable rather than able. There are only a few million superpowers among the billions of people in the world from ten years ago to now. And the number of people who are suitable for learning the impermanence method is definitely much smaller than this. You can understand what a vicious magician looks like just by looking at the cockscomb head who can't even speak human words. Believe me, put this thing on the bright side. It’s definitely not a good thing. I’ll talk to you in detail about the history of impermanence when I have time, but now let’s talk about the important information…”
This art of killing evil dragons is divided into five realms and seven phases.
The five realms are the five realms that the Impermanence Master has experienced and broken through from the beginning to the peak. From shallow to deep, they are divided into spiritual illumination, clarity, spiritual communication, manifestation and creation.
"Why do we use the description "from shallow to deep"? Because the practice of impermanence is also the mastery of one's own mind." Miss Alice said.
The seven aspects refer to the seven mental aspects that have been classified through long-term study and are most suitable for mobilizing the power of the soul, namely silence, emptiness, spirit, Brahma, desolation, misfortune, and wonder.
According to Alice's explanation, the vast majority of impermanent practitioners choose to study only the one aspect that suits them best, while their involvement in other mental aspects is limited to a few simple and easy-to-use techniques. Impermanence practitioners study the deepest aspect of the mind. , is often used as their synonym.
According to the system of five realms and seven phases, Alice Hunter is a Brahma-like magic user in the divine realm. This can be regarded as a reliable backbone in the industry of impermanent magicians. If she can reach the manifest realm, That's a really big shot.
As for the final realm of creation?
"Do you think I am someone who has access to this kind of information? If I really meet an enemy in the Creation Realm, I will be dead. I think it is enough for me to know this, and the same goes for you."
Gongsun Ce sorted through the information he had learned within a few seconds.
Still dozens of meters away from the dock area, he could already see the outlines of several huge cranes standing there.
He seized the time to ask the question: "According to what you just said, most of the Brahma-phase mages are good at interfering with space, and a few are able to control time, while the abilities of the Huang-phase mages are basically simple and simple physical strengthening - then Couldn't that snake that penetrated the sky just now be part of the tongue of the Kupupu star?"
Alice was stunned: "After thinking about it for so long, is this the last thing you care about?!"
"I'm quite tidy...be prepared, we're here."
The two stopped in front of the gate in the dock area.
Looking up, several bridge cranes measuring thousands of tons are quietly bathing in the light, and the red exterior paint of the mechanical giants almost blends into the sunset. The containers of different colors below the bridge crane look like children's building blocks. The contrast is so strong that people almost forget their actual size.
They planned to take action according to the plan they had discussed before - but at this moment, Alice's exclamation stopped the young man who was about to step forward.
"Gongsun Ce, wait a minute! The signal is coming in our direction!"
It seems to be a trap.
The superpower quickly prepared for battle, but a second later, he frowned.
Not only because the man who walked out of the pier was playing with an inconspicuous little black dot in his hand, but also because this man's appearance was completely different from Alice's description.
"Uh-huh! It's really hard for you two to come all the way. It's a pity that you guys came a little late..."
The man threw up the object in his hand, and the miniature transmitter was bathed in the light of the setting sun in mid-air.
He gave the two a hearty smile.
"It has nothing to do with you here, Miss Hunter."
