The biochemical hummingbird carried the two of them away from the dragon's wings and flew towards the thorny area lined with giant towers.
At the same time, in the Dragon Head section on the other side of the Sky City, high-ranking figures were also discussing this incident...
·
9:01 p.m., Cangshou District, Longshou International Integrated Office Building, 66th floor.
In the area that used to be the head of the dragon, there is a very large blue building. On the surface, it is the government affairs processing agency of the Sky City composed of specially appointed managers from all over the world. And the local students They prefer to call it the Three Kingdoms Office in Julong, or a simple and clear government building. No matter what name it is given, the significance of this building, which was not built in the city center but at a remote location as the center of power in the city, will not change.
Ding dong! The number on the 66th floor lit up, the elevator door opened with a tone, and a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped on the soft carpet.
The front desk lady facing the elevator door saluted with a perfect reception smile:
"Good evening, Principal Honorville. May I ask..."
A bald man with a light blond beard walked out of the elevator. He has a pair of blue eyes, wears a suit, has an upright figure, and carries the elegance of a well-educated middle-aged man in his manner. It's just that the obvious anxiety on this man's face ruined his temperament and made his gentle words seem anxious.
"Good evening, madam. Please forgive me for being rude in coming to visit before making an appointment. I have important matters that I need to discuss with Director Liu Zhongwu."
The receptionist of the Empire lowered his head to ask for instructions from the people inside, and replied: "Director, you are welcome to come at any time. Principal, please come with me."
The two of them were walking in the quiet corridor on the 66th floor. Outside, they could see the figures of imperial civil servants in the office writing fast at their desks. As the two of them walked deeper and deeper, someone's voice gradually reached the principal's ears. The voice came from behind the wooden door of the conference room. Judging from the fact that it was heavily blocked but still managed to get through the crack of the door, it was clear that this voice came from behind. A person should be a loud voice without realizing it.
"Everyone is going to have a hard time tonight...the whole city has stopped direct energy supply...confirm again...guaranteed reserve energy supply for at least two hours...then confirm the details with people over at the Kingdom...His Majesty is watching us from the sky... …”
Principal Onoville walked faster and faster. He stared at the door at the other end of the corridor, and his beautiful beard trembled slightly.
The receptionist led him to the door of the conference room and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart - she had to run quickly to knock on the door in front of this striding man.
"Director Liu, please excuse me. Principal Onoville is here to visit."
"Come in quickly, come in quickly."
The door to the conference room opened inwards, the receptionist left with a smile, and the bald man with a light blond beard stepped into the room like a charge.
This is a large office with a staircase layout. The man walking in from a high place can see everything: the big screen at the bottom, like a theater screen, shows real-life footage of the Sky Capital, with dozens of hardworking loyal ministers of the empire. They were working hard in front of their respective screens. A fair and fat middle-aged man kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and loudly issued instructions against his heavy beer belly.
He turned around hard and wanted to say hello to his old friend. Before he could squeeze out a smile, he was frightened back by the angry bald man.
Director Liu shivered, and the flesh on his belly trembled: "Oh, what happened to Lao Ao today? It's so scary. Xiao Li, go get the good tea from my office..."
The bald man couldn't bear it any longer. All his self-cultivation was thrown into the trash can at this moment. He grabbed the obese middle-aged man by the collar and shouted in front of everyone: "What on earth are you thinking!"
The clerk who was called by Director Liu was about to stand up, but was frightened by the voice and quietly sat back down.
"Why are you going all the way to find your old friend and go crazy..."
"Don't pretend to be stupid!" Honorwell's voice was like a bell. "If Mo hadn't informed me of the development of the situation, I would still be kept in the dark by you. How could the dragon worshipers break into the underground!"
Director Liu smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "That person went down from your United States building. If you want to hold him accountable, you shouldn't come to me."
The bald man roared with an even more terrifying momentum: "A full day has passed since early morning, and not a single official member of the Ritual Ceremony Hall has taken any action. The only one who is still participating in the investigation is the one at the beginning." What a joke are the Kingdom Hunters and her temporary helpers!! The agents of the Mithril Pillar are sorry for the taxpayers’ taxes, how dare you, the Ceremonial Hall, also be sorry for the Emperor!!”
"If you have something to say, let me go. Let me go first. Everyone will look at me and lose face..."
The bald man took off his collar angrily, and the loyal ministers of the empire pinched their fingertips desperately to endure the pain and smiled.
Director Liu straightened his collar and said calmly: "Old Ao, you don't know something. The enemy this time has probably reached the manifestation realm, and sending people over hastily will probably not have much effect... "
"Fuck you!" A man born in the United States burst out a well-spoken imperial curse, showing his profound foreign cultural accomplishments, "It doesn't work? You, Liu Zhongwu, are a dignified former ritual priest. Mr. Changqing, how can you be afraid of a madman in the manifest state? You have ten thousand ways to make him die suddenly in the daytime!"
The imperial official smiled sarcastically and said, "Look, I'm so powerful. Shouldn't you, a clear education person, show some respect in front of me as an official..."
His old friend's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose seemed to be on fire. He thought that if anger could raise the body's temperature, Onoville's bald head could be used to fry sausages.
"I can't wait to throw you into Cecil's laboratory as a sandbag for the biochemical gorilla!" The roar of the bald middle-aged man echoed in the conference room, "You should have seen the information from the kingdom this morning! Dragon worshipers The leader holds a genuine medium in his hands, and that is the right eye of the Netherworld Dragon!!"
As soon as he mentioned the professional field, Director Liu's expression immediately became serious: "You can't call it a medium. How can there be such a terrible medium? That is the body of the Netherworld Dragon, the remaining fragments of the highest existence. The existence itself is The destruction of the real realm, just throw it anywhere and we will see a ghost town in two days..."
His voice grew quieter, and Onoville's breathing grew thicker.
"The advisor of the Mithril Pillar told me earlier that if the fantasies of the dragon worshipers succeed, the one who comes this time will definitely be the top evil dragon."
Director Liu nodded happily: "That's for sure. Lower-level dependents are not qualified to bear the remnants of the Netherworld Corpse. This dragon phenomenon will definitely be of the highest level."
"Then are you going to watch the dragon disaster come?! Watch the tragedy of three years ago happen again?! There are 5.7 million people in this city!!"
"Most of them are time bombs..."
“Most of them are children under 20 years old!!”
Honorwell beat his chest and said, "The advisor of Mithril Pillar is unwilling to say another word...Old friend, give me a reason, otherwise I will try my best to stop the Dragon Disaster, even if it costs me my life."
Director Liu patted him on the shoulder and pulled out a chair: "You sit down first and listen to me. If you do anything else now, it will really cause chaos for everyone. As an official, I know better than you about big things. We all don’t want to see a dragon disaster, but you also know that no matter which country’s officials, they obey orders and do things. Master Yan gave orders, but we had doubts, so we could only obey them.”
Honorwell looked at him doubtfully: "Lord Yan? Is there an official in the Empire who is higher than you in the Sky Capital?"
Director Liu looked depressed: "Master Yan is not of any rank, but he has the decree of the largest master in our Yongguang Empire, so he is not a master, but also a master."
"...Oh my god."
The old educator sat on his chair and felt that his mind was blank.
The old friend smiled and said to him: "Be more open-minded, Old Ao. The worst is that we, the dragon, and this city will all die together. It can be regarded as a contribution to world peace, and it will be a glorious death."

Central area, Experimental Building, Rooftop, Central United University.
This is the most famous university in the Sky City, the Central United University funded by various countries. The notorious Cecil Laboratory operates on the 4th floor of this building, producing various biochemical creations, weird theories, and... Research accidents called experimental subjects escaping, experimental subjects running amok, and experimental subjects exploding.
This institution was also the university where Gongsun Ce and his friends studied. Reiichi Shigure, who had just left the school in the afternoon, returned to the campus in the evening.
The masked duo stood in front of him. The masked woman sat on the ground with her legs crossed, looking up at the stars, while the masked man stood on the edge of the rooftop muttering like a suicide volunteer, making people very worried about his personal safety. .
"What are you doing?"
The masked woman asked.
The tall man replied impatiently: "Can't you tell? I'm measuring the direction."
"This is not visible behavior."
"Then use words you can understand. I'm estimating the actual stability of this area."
"This is not an understandable statement."
The masked man clicked his tongue in annoyance: "Tsk! Shigure boy!"
Shigure Reiichi smiled bitterly and took on the role of commentator: "Looking for the coordinates where the dragon is most likely to appear, while trying to eliminate the possibility of it appearing on the ground and underground. I think this should be the job."
"I see, I probably understand. As expected of Shigure-kun, his language skills are much better than those of Mr. Weird."
The tall man turned back from the edge of the rooftop and shouted loudly: "Let's go! We have to go further down, rest for a while and then find a suitable position."
"oh."
The masked man patted his butt and sat down on the spot. He rested his face with his hands and looked at the girl looking up at the stars: "Little girl! Today I read the information on three impermanent practitioners and even had a psychic session myself. What do you think?"
"What do you think?"
"Say whatever comes to mind."
The masked woman thought for a few seconds and said, "I always feel that the impermanence method is a very subtle ability."
The tall man laughed.
"Hahahaha! What a subtlety, what you want to say is useless!"
The masked woman nodded: "She has a wonderful ability and can exert great power under certain conditions, but the killing efficiency alone should not be comparable to modern weapons. And if it is to be used in combat against people, taking into account the restrictions Existence will also appear to be disadvantageous. Judging from the performance of the divine level alone, none of them can beat Ate. Calling such a technique a dragon-slaying technique, I can't figure it out."
Although this is a fairly fair assessment, before evaluating Impermanence, it would be better not to describe friends as combat units.
It's obviously hard for you to say that you can beat Gongsun... The young man in a suit thought in his heart.
The tall man patted his thigh and said like an outsider: "Everyone brags about how amazing they are, but in reality they can't even catch a nuclear bomb. How dare you talk about dragon-slaying skills!"
This evaluation is even more harsh.
Ultimately, people should not compare themselves to nuclear bombs.
"Dragon Disaster isn't afraid of nuclear bombs, right?"
"You can throw ten thousand nuclear bombs and you won't be able to scratch off a single scale of the dragon." The masked man said slowly and leisurely, "That's right, little girl. The technology of impermanence is completely useless."
This man harshly criticized the techniques he was practicing, completely disregarding his position as an impermanent practitioner: "There are not many people who have the talent to practice, and most of the fools can't even reach the divine realm. In dealing with the giant dragon, In battle, you must at least be in the manifestation state to be able to use it as combat power... Ha, you still have the nerve to call it dragon-slaying technique. Don't learn this crap in the future, it's useless!"
He stood up from the ground and called for the two of them to follow him: "Let's go! I'm done complaining, let's get down to business!"
Shigurei followed silently. He heard his friend behind him ask: "The impermanence method is useless, what about super powers?"
The tall man said without looking back: "Rubbish! After all, you can learn the law of impermanence only if you are interested. Super powers are thrown at you out of thin air. You have to have it even if you don't want it. What kind of freedom is there? It's even worse. .”
The young man in a suit smiled bitterly and said: "Then I am not the rags among rags..."
"You're the worst kid to begin with. What can you do? All the mentally retarded people in Shigure Research Institute are dead, so just take this opportunity to be happy. Let's go, let's go!"
The noisy group of people left, and the rooftop of the laboratory building returned to calm.
On the rooftop a few blocks away from them, Gongsun Ce and Alice just got off the back of the hummingbird.
With different goals in mind, surrounding the same incident, several people started their own actions...
