Tyros's body is a glass ball.
This dark red ball is about the size of an adult man's fist. It is tightly tied to the seat of the cab by several tendons. It contracts and relaxes from time to time. It is beating regularly, reminding people with super powers of an important organ in the human body.
There was a short arrow stuck on the surface of the ball that looked like a heart. Fine cracks could be seen where the arrow penetrated, and bright red blood flowed from the wound.
The young man speculated that perhaps it was the "shell" on the surface of the heart that acted as a buffer in a sense, preventing the man's body from turning into rotten flesh like most of his body tissues.
Alice pulled out the remaining two short arrows - they only hit the seat - and then held the murderous weapon that pierced the heart with her hand: "You have nowhere to escape, Tyros."
"..."
The red ball said nothing, and the superpower reminded: "I think you also noticed that he has no mouth now."
"...I, of course I know!"
You were visibly stunned just now.
"Has the experienced hunter lady thought of a solution?"
"This...that...anyway, just get some meat from over there first, just the minimum."
"The power of telekinesis also has a so-called tactile feel. It's not much different from the nausea when you hold it directly with your hands. Remember to treat me to dinner tonight."
"You, a rich kid who lives in a single room, have the nerve to let me treat you to a meal! At most, the convenience store lunch box can't be more expensive!"
"Allow me to decline."
When it comes to money issues, he is uncompromising and unwilling to give in. If it is a characteristic of a social person, I have not seen other office workers behave like this.
Gongsun Ce went through the adults he had an impression of in his mind. From his parents to the old lady in the next building, from the female knights of the kingdom to Qin Qianbai's grandfather, Mr. Qin, none of them acted stingy in front of the younger generation, not even one. Relatives who have just started working all know how to treat everyone to a meal with their first month's salary. He believes that this probably has nothing to do with income, but a purely character issue. As expected, this person himself is too out of character.
The young man waved his hand and let a ball of rotten meat float into the cab. He tried his best not to think about which piece of flesh this was from his enemy. In order to retain some appetite for the night and divert his attention, he glanced at his pocket watch.
The time now is 6:15.
The battle with Tyros lasted for more than twenty minutes, and the setting sun had already touched the edge of the distant dragon wings. Before long, the last ray of light will disappear in the shadow of the city, allowing night to come to the capital of the sky.
He recalled someone's advice.
The public order is not good these days.
Hope it was just a coincidence, thinking like this, Gongsun Ce focused his attention on the mass of dead flesh.
"Tell me, where is your leader!" Alice held the short arrow menacingly, "What is the ritual of summoning the evil dragon?"
The meat paste turned into the shape of a weird mouth, and jeered on the ground in the cab: "You caught that idiot in the motorcycle suit, didn't you? Why are you wasting your time here? Why don't you bring the tools to torture him quickly - ah! "
The hunter sullenly sent the arrow in, causing Tyros to scream like a slaughtered pig.
"Don't do this. The green-haired man was so alienated before he reached the realm of the gods that he can't even speak human words. It's weird to be able to ask questions."
"Alienation? I'm going to die laughing, idiots..." The ugly mouth rolled on the ground, "You know nothing about the reality of this world!"
The superpower resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"What a standard villain statement."
Alice raised two arrows threateningly: "Now tell me honestly, or you will be stabbed to death by these two arrows. It's your choice."
"You also gave me a choice. Oh, you are like a saint... You shameless dead man!! How dare you say what choice?!" Tyros's voice rose, and the anger in his shouts gradually changed. He became crazy, "This is a hellish corpse city! Everyone knows what will happen if you are caught by the lunatic here! They are all dead ends, all dead ends!"
The glass-like red ball suddenly moved, and the superpower immediately sealed the window.
But even he didn't expect that the sphere did not escape outwards, but instead hit the short arrow in Alice's hand.
The demon-breaking arrow completely penetrated the core of the demon body, and the heart of the dragon worshiper spewed out blood with a crackling sound, turning into debris on the ground.
The mouth was smiling triumphantly, and without eyes, he seemed to have imagined the expressions on the two people's faces, and felt extremely happy about it: "Jie-hahaha! I'm waiting in the starry hell, waiting. Let you and this damn city perish together!"
After saying these last words, the ugly mouth turned back into a blur of flesh and blood, and the orange-haired man finally stopped making any sound.
Tyros K. is dead.
"..."
The two stood outside the cab, speechless for a moment.
Alice picked up the short arrow and used a cloth to clean the blood on it.
After a few seconds, the superpower covered his mouth and said, "...I want to eat something vegetarian tonight."
Miss Hunter let out a scream like a collapse.
"I was just thinking about how to enlighten you and you told me you were thinking about dinner?!"
"Mr. Tyrlos consciously said that he wanted to go to hell. I can't wish him to go to heaven."
"Bah! Even the rats in the sewers have a better chance of going to heaven than he does. He probably killed more people than you have ever seen."
"Then what can I say, it's so damn good."
The hands of the dragon worshiper are stained with blood. Just looking at his performance in battle, you can tell that this man has killed many lives.
Even so, there was an indescribable feeling of depression in the young man's heart - if he had reacted in time, he might have been able to save this person who was seeking death.
But what's the point of saving a villain's life?
On the other hand, is it a truly wise decision to decisively take away his basis for evil?
He couldn't come to a conclusion.
It is a simple task to judge a person's good and evil from a third party's perspective, and to judge whether a person's death is worth it. But it's another thing to act without hesitation and firmly believe in the legitimacy of what you do.
What if it were someone else? He knew that some people would decisively choose to save people. For other people, the questions he hesitated in a moment and the spiral of contradictions in his heart were completely unnecessary to consider.
And such an infinite cycle ultimately yields no answer, it is just unreasonable and meaningless thinking.
That's why you react slowly and hesitate. Even if you realize this, it's difficult to change. This is a deep-rooted weakness in your character.
Which is right or wrong, true or false? He put his hand on his chest, confirming his feelings.
At least the suffocating feeling of witnessing human death is still real.
But he began to doubt whether this feeling had any meaning.
"..."
Gongsun Ce pinched his fingers, forcing himself out of the spiral of thinking and looking at the reality in front of him.
I was thinking about so many things in my mind, but less than two seconds had passed in reality. The superpower took the lead towards the exit of the dock area. He saw several gray cars parked on the street. The staff of Sky City would probably have a hard time today.
Gongsun Ce asked the hunter behind him: "Where to go next?"
Alice's voice sounded particularly frustrated.
"I don't know, all the clues are gone. The only thing I can hope for now is what the green cockscomb head can ask, but the probability that a severely alienated malignant magician can still remember important information... I think it is the same as the Protector of the Nation Divine Sword. The probability of someone falling from the sky and recognizing me as master is about the same."
"Using this as a title seems like a popular light novel."
"What is a light novel?"
Oops.
The impact of these words was ten times more severe than the pain of pinching his fingers just now, and Gongsun Ce completely got rid of the dazed state just now.
Hasn’t this hunter had much contact with subcultures?
Thinking about it, there is no way that the huntress of the kingdom would read a genre that is popular among teenagers.
Gongsun Ce made a mistake. It sounded like a cold joke that would be cold-hearted, but it was very appropriate to describe the current situation. He had to find a way to change the subject before the other party misunderstood due to their inherent impression.
Alice pointed her chin with her finger: "Remember, I seem to have heard it introduced by a colleague. In my impression, she called the audience for this kind of book two..."
"A light fan of the interpretation of two-dimensional plane non-directional elements. Do you want to talk about this emerging concept proposed by the School of Computer Science at our school last month?"
"Two-dimensional... what? Huh?"
Alice was obviously suspicious of technology because of his random name, and the diversionary operation was successful!
The superpower struck while the iron was hot and brought up the next topic: "So now you have an idea?"
The blue-haired woman cried sadly: "I plan to check the areas I suspected before and try my luck. As for now, I have just been exhausted from the battle. Let's have a meal and rest... I know what you want to ask. Let's go find White. It’s useless, I’ll explain the situation to you later…”
Gongsun Zhijia thought about it, took out his mobile phone and shook it.
"Since you don't have any information at the moment, come and try my channels."
Alice's eyes widened: "Do you still have an intelligence source? Could your kid be a passerby of the Ceremony Hall——"
"I don't understand what you are talking about. I just want to find someone who is well-informed."
"Isn't this even more suspicious!"
"I personally think he is a trustworthy person. Don't worry, he is neither an official employee nor an impermanent law envoy like you. He is just a college student who is about to graduate."
This is not a lie.
He has no official background, is not a member of a mysterious organization, is just a student like himself, and has a lot of information at hand. He can only be called a well-informed person among the people.
Miss Hunter's face was full of hesitation: "But I also have a need for confidentiality..."
"What is the woman who drags ordinary students into trouble talking about?"
"It's so noisy, but you are determined to follow me! Then, without telling the information about the Impermanence Law, and only looking for the accomplices of these two people, is this okay?"
There is not even the most basic explanation of the situation, and only this piece of information is used to find an unknown number of infiltrators among five million people. The average intelligence dealer will already have a falling out after hearing this.
Fortunately, the person I have to ask for this time is a man with a very good temper.
"Okay, okay, wait a moment..."
He opened his phone and scanned the pile of spam messages.
The latest text message at the top of the screen was received at 4:32, and the preview below shows a short sentence:
【I am Yan Qi. Gongsun boy, it’s almost time for you to die. I will send the things to...]
Three minutes before he met the star, he saw this text message from an "unknown number" and immediately decided to pretend that he had seen nothing.
He really didn't want to deal with someone who could write such a sentence.
At least I pretended I didn’t see anything today.
Unfortunately, the development of things was not as good as he expected. Less than two hours later, the young man who had not solved his own problems participated in another incident with a strong subjective initiative.
He swiped to another interface and edited a new message on the social software: "... Just wait for a while, I guess the letter will come back by the time we have dinner."
"What kind of retired agent friend do you know?"
"If I really knew a retired agent...yeah."
"Don't stop talking! You don't really know each other, do you? The students in Sky City have already become a chaotic aggregation in my mind!!"
Needless to say?
Among the millions of superpowers collected from all over the world, it would be strange if there were no weirdos, perverts and people with special professions.
Really, the superpower sighed in his heart, there are really fewer and fewer students who are as peaceful and simple as himself these days.
Alice pointed at the young man with her finger: "You, the deviant among the deviants, don't show me the expression 'It's really difficult for me to be a common sense person'."
"As a person with common sense, I'm really in trouble." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "It's useless to waste time in the dock area. Let's go have dinner quickly before the information comes - your treat."
The speed with which the hunter's expression changed amazed him.
"Sister, I really can't afford the high-end dinners in your Sky City... I've never been to a restaurant in a hidden alley that changes its menu every day and requires an invitation from a regular customer to enter..."
The acting is so good that it can even be called a talent.
How did you make that tearful look? It’s so realistic.
"I don't know what you misunderstood. I had my lunch today by buying a cheap set meal from a chain fast food restaurant."
Miss Alice puffed up her chest boldly: "Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll treat you!"
Where have the tears gone?
You couldn't find a job after graduating from the Royal College of Art, so you turned to hunter temporarily, right?
While the young man was making up the poignant history of his college days for his companions in his mind, he recalled the terrain of this area: "I don't want to touch meat tonight. There is a good ramen shop nearby. Can you eat ramen?"
Judging from the smile on the woman's face, there should be no problem.
Ten minutes later, Gongsun Ce led Alice to the ramen shop two streets away.
They walked into the shop amidst the loud welcome from the boss and found a place to sit down side by side in front of the wooden bar.
Gongsun Ce handed the menu to his companion and looked at the environment of the store out of habit.
The guest on the right seat who was engrossed in eating noodles just raised his head and met his eyes.
The customer next door was a girl in green clothes and a yellow skirt. It looked like she had just eaten a large bowl of hot noodles, and a few drops of sweat were dripping from her forehead.
How does the ramen at this store taste? Is it delicious, unpleasant, or just useless? It is difficult to tell the girl's evaluation from her face. After all, people always need to observe other people's expressions to observe their attitudes, and an expressionless face cannot provide any information to others.
The girl put down her chopsticks, took out her phone, and took a photo of the two people standing beside her.
"I want to upload it to the school forum." Miss Qin Qianbai said.
"Don't!"
