The time returns to 9:59.
In the belly of the dragon of the sky.
Shigure Rei left together with Liuli Calamity, and the immobile dragon worshiper also disappeared under the light.
The white daffodils gradually faded away, and this underground space truly became empty.
Only a lifeless body remained.
Gongsun Ce lay motionless in a pool of blood.
Kaka.
In the vast space where no life existed, the sound of mechanical structures operating could be heard.
The sound came from a door, which was connected to the door inside a huge white tower on the ground.
The heavy steel gate was crossed by Gongsun Ce and Shigurei with their abilities.
Almost at the same moment the door opened, two black shadows shot out, appearing next to the corpse in just the blink of an eye. Their speed is so fast that ordinary people's dynamic vision cannot even catch the afterimages. I am afraid that only the biochemical eagle with enhanced vision can see what just happened. And if the biochemical eagle could talk, it would definitely describe this scene like this: a masked human woman grabbed the arm of another human man with one hand and sprinted along the shortest distance at a super-fast speed without any regard for the feelings of her companions. , just like a tyrannosaurus with prey in its mouth!
Their speed was so fast that they broke through the air barrier, causing ear-piercing sonic booms to explode in the underground space. The masked woman stood next to Gongsun Ce's body and released her right hand from her companion. Her poor companion lay on the ground without saying a word. This was not a show or a prank. In fact, the speed just now gave this person an excessive impact. If he had to say it himself, I am afraid he would use "like "Being tied to the side of a roller coaster while sprinting" is how it's described.
"please."
"give it to me."
Normally, he would tease the other person in a playful way, but now was not the time for joking.
Shigure Reiichi took off the glove on his right hand, revealing the back of his hand that was usually hidden under the white cloth.
He had never done this in public, and most people who knew him didn't take it seriously. They only thought that a handsome man like him should also have beautiful hands.
However, the opposite was true. The back of his hand was covered in scars. Scars left after being punctured, scars left after being cauterized, scars left after being chopped with sharp objects, scars left after being corroded by chemicals... Not even an inch of intact skin can be found, only scars left from a long time ago. The old scars of existence are layer upon layer.
Extremely ugly, unsightly, and disgusting.
What these hands represent is by no means a good memory, and the man in the suit who revealed them did not show any displeasure at all, because like the declaration before launching, this is a step needed to strengthen the law of impermanence.
"The price is a month of memories with friends, and the reward is five minutes of delayed death."
He placed his ugly hand on his dead friend's face and spoke softly.
"The signs of disaster appear, and the dirty sun curses the balance."
Shigure Reiichi is a misfortune wielder. What he possesses is the power to change fortune, influence fate, and reverse cause and effect.
It is not only the force that causes life to die, but also the force that can save life.
While affecting reality, the corresponding price is also taken away. Cherished memories disappeared, memories that I didn’t want to forget were erased, and pictures that impressed me instantly disappeared without leaving any trace. This was not the first time he had paid the price and he still felt regretful about it. To use a more realistic term, it should be called sadness.
But the sentimentality is only fleeting, and regret never occurs. The reason why memories are important is to spend time with people who are worthy of cherishing. If a friend leaves, the experiences spent with them become meaningless.
"...Poof!"
The skin of the "corpse" once again had human warmth, and the dying gray-haired young man screamed and vomited blood. Rei Shigure put on his gloves and said with a smile: "It has been 3 minutes and 40 seconds since the last death. The operation was successful. The patient will die in another 1 minute and 20 seconds."
"Very good."
The masked woman obviously relaxed, and she heard the sound of the newly resurrected superpower.
"Dragon...disaster..."
I actually said this the first time after waking up.
She felt a headache because of her friend's behavior, but she also felt that doing this was the style of this idiot. The masked woman replied softly: "Yan Qi is up there, no one died."
"Okay..." The corpse reserve, who was about to die again in more than a minute, muttered on the ground: "Hold...hand...wu..."
The masked woman picked up the fatally injured college student and placed his hand on the hole-pierced chest.
A white substance appeared in Gongsun Ce's hands.
That is undoubtedly the ability he often relies on when fighting, the other side of the instant spiral, the white substance opposite to the invisible force.
The substance turned into a pure white heart.
"..."
Making the white matter heart seems to have drained all the superpower's strength, and he can't even utter a word now. The masked woman put her hand on the back of the young man's hand and pushed the white heart into her chest.
At this time, the white matter showed another property that had nothing to do with solidity: it spontaneously connected to the damaged blood vessels, filled the original position of the heart, and began to beat in Gongsun Ce's body, allowing the two to hear the sound of belongings again. The sound of the human heartbeat.
"puff!"
The gray-haired young man vomited blood again, which somehow made the young man in a suit smile, and Rei Shigure almost laughed.
After vomiting blood, Gongsun Ce felt his strength return to his body little by little, and he finally regained the sense of being alive.
The superpower person used new white matter to fill the wounds on his body. Now, except for his pale face and a white patch on his chest and back, he no longer looks like a dead person.
Gongsun Ce was tremblingly lifted up by the masked woman. He stepped on his own blood and almost slipped. He pointed his thumb to his chest and shouted to the two of them: "Resurrection! I filled it with white matter!"
The masked woman let go of her hands, and the gray-haired young man collapsed to the ground with a plop. Shigure Reiichi finally couldn't help laughing.
"Ha ha."
The superpower yelled: "Can you please be kind to the seriously ill?"
He rolled over on the ground, just in time to see the woman behind him take off her mask, revealing a face as delicate and expressionless as a doll.
Qin Qianbai put his hands on his hips and looked down at him condescendingly: "Idiot, idiot, big idiot."
Speechless.
Normally, he would have responded immediately with words.
But as a person whose heart was ripped out by a bad woman who thought he was a companion a few minutes ago, and as a former deceased who was finally rescued by his friends, he really has no position or reason to refute being called an idiot.
So Gongsun Ce had no choice but to hold his head in his hands and said, "Thank you both for saving my life."
"Look, look, this is the look of an idiot." Miss Qin had no intention of giving up. She continued to say mercilessly: "Obviously we have given you suggestions, but you still have to follow that woman's will. To As for the way of picking up conversations, it is really an innovation that transcends the times. Is this a bad girl reform operation conceived by Ace alone?"
Crap.
I just came back from a real state of death, and now my brain is not working very well for a while, and I can't keep up with Miss Qin's words.
"I really didn't expect that she would be a wanted criminal..."
In short, use this sentence to deal with it first, and then quickly organize your thoughts while saying this sentence.
What Qin Qianbai just said was...
What comes to mind is the conversation the two had when they parted ways at the sewage treatment plant.
·
The girl who was so full of fighting spirit that she almost took action on the spot, and the superpower who noticed this.
——"Superpower person over there, we just gave you advice."
Although he still didn't understand the reason why Yan Qi and Qin Qianbai acted together, he had heard the advice they had given.
What did his female best friend his age say before that?
——"If you are willing to leave here obediently, I won't need to fight." "If you can't make a decision, you are welcome to talk until they come back."
Pulling away, or waiting for Yan Qi to come back before talking, these are undoubtedly the two points Qin Qianbai wants to tell him. At first he didn't notice the masked woman's true identity, but he recognized it after the battle really started.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to fight like this?
These words were undoubtedly spoken out of consideration for him, and Gongsun Ce felt his friend's concern for him. However, what he couldn't say in front of Miss Qin was that what he actually wanted to hear was the opinion of a professional...that is, the advice of that extremely arrogant masked man, Yan Qi.
Unfortunately, that suggestion was not feasible at all, and he would never allow himself to give up halfway.
Therefore, Gongsun Ce chose to continue acting at the previous pace.
——"I just gave you a reply. I will investigate with this Miss Alice."
·
"You also know my character, how could I just ignore such a thing..."
"You didn't listen to my suggestions, and you didn't listen to Yan Qi's suggestions, and you ended up like this."
Gongsun Ce grinned and rubbed his head: "I really didn't expect that she would be a wanted criminal. At that time, I thought that at most she was a free person disguised as a hunter, and at worst she would just be with her after everything was over. She was just shaking hands to make peace..."
The expressionless girl nodded and said, "Miss Alice is so kind to you, how could she harm you?"
The super-powered person covers his face with his hands.
do not talk.
Please stop talking! !
Mr. Shiyu laughed louder on the side, and Gongsun Ce said angrily: "Stop laughing! You have recognized it a long time ago, otherwise why would you show up at the ramen shop to remind me to shut up!! Use your convenient mind! If my senses tell me, I won’t be in such a miserable state!!"
Shigurei cleared his throat: "I'm sorry, my plan was disrupted midway. However, I couldn't figure out the matter of Gongsun not following Mr. Yan Qi's suggestion at that time. .”
The super-powered person responded angrily: "You don't even think about what that guy said!"
·
What he really wanted to hear was Yan Qi's advice, so what he had was the conversation between the two before the official war started.
In other words, a description of the situation.
——"I am an expert." This is what Yan Qi calls himself, and the same is what Alice calls herself.
——"You say you are an expert? I don't think a person who only told his identity but didn't even tell his name is very trustworthy."
Alice revealed many doubts in front of him that should not exist, which aroused the suspicion of superpowers. For Gongsun Ce, a hunter he had only known for half a day would not be very trustworthy. He wanted to seek help from a real expert.
Asking for help in front of the hunter might arouse suspicion, hence the previous meeting with the intelligence dealer.
After all, just like Alice said.
If you just need information, you can get it through text messages or phone calls, so why go and meet in person.
So, he relied on Mo Yuankai to contact Yan Qi.
——“To judge whether a person is trustworthy, the most important prerequisite is to first understand the other person’s purpose and position.”
It was obvious that this self-righteous middle-aged man was not powerful enough to figure out everything, at least at that time he had never figured out the true identity of the hunter. So Yan Qi came back with a sermon, which was of no use to the situation at that time.
Then Yan Qi said to Alice, no, Rei Shigure.
——"You say you want to prevent the summoning of the dragon, how do I know if you want to use this secret to claim credit from the kingdom?"
——"Any confirmation of purpose and mutual assistance is bullshit."
It emphasizes the fact that the "Hunter" is not trustworthy, that up to this point it is all already known nonsense, that it is performed in front of two women, and that only the two people in the conversation can fully understand the intention of the performance.
After confirming each other's consensus, the experts gave the following solutions in front of the young people who were almost impatient with waiting.
——"Why don't you all just die?"
To put it bluntly.
It's simply not something he can do.
·
"The suggestion that bastard Yan Qi gave me was to kill Alice, bah, Rei Shigure! It was of no use at all. At that time, neither of us knew the true identity of the "Kingdom Hunter", because we were alone What kind of nonsense is it to launch an attack on a comrade who is fighting together because of suspicion on the part of the party!"
Gongsun Ce slapped his thighs and tried to stand up, but he sat back down on the ground in embarrassment as soon as he lifted up half of his body.
Miss Qin on the opposite side nodded as before and said, "How could Miss Alice take action against her companions who are fighting together?"
"do not talk……"
Shigure Reiichi finally stopped laughing. He shook his head and said, "Gongsun, you are too naive."
"I--"
"Even if you don't kill someone, it would be the best decision for you to take action with Qin Qianbai at that time. Mr. Yan Qi and I are watching from the side. No matter how powerful her impermanence method is, the two of you will not be killed instantly." The young man in a suit ignored his friend's excuse and criticized mercilessly: "Gongsun let go of this opportunity and chose to continue walking with Alice, whose enemy and friend are unknown. In addition to his confidence in his own ability, I am afraid there is also a sense of She trusts her. Gongsun, who didn’t kill her, believed that she wouldn’t kill him in the end, didn’t he?”
Speechless.
Too naive, too confident, too arrogant.
I thought I could solve everything on my own, but ended up like this.
Young people who trust others will eventually suffer the consequences.
only……
"Just listen to my friend's excuse. What you said is not all the reasons for my decision." The superpower closed his eyes helplessly, "The person who made me make such a decision was actually Yan Qihe. You."
This time, even Shigure-kun, who had always been calm, showed a surprised look.
"Me and Mr. Yan Qi?"
"You, the one who showed up first, obviously knew the specific situation and helped me find out. When I was at the sewage treatment plant, Mr. Shigure, who used his ability to talk to me, was naturally discovered by Yan Qi. Am I right?"
"That's true...could it be that this is what you think?"
"It's just as you thought. I was completely fooled by that annoying guy, so I ended up in this situation... Tsk! The development of the situation from then on was probably within Yan Qi's expectation! "
Miss Qin looked between the two and realized that she failed to understand their words.
Yan Qi and Shiyu Rei met, what could this mean?
Fortunately, she didn't have to think hard, she could just ask a certain grey-haired and bespectacled Riddler.
Ta-ta-ta, Miss Qin tapped the super-powered person on the shoulder.
Gongsun Ce shrank his neck and replied: "From my point of view, it's a very simple logic. After Yan Qi comes into contact with Lord Shiyu, with this guy's ability, he will definitely be able to dig out enough information."
"As much as I hate to admit it, that guy can do it."
"Then, Yan Qi, who has completed the intelligence, will naturally come to a brand new conclusion - different from the nonsense 'kill her' before, or a more firm conclusion of 'kill her here'. No matter what it is, I can take corresponding actions after being reminded." The superpower's eyes twitched, as if he was angry because of someone who was not present, "Yan Qi will do it after our battle is over. What?"
Qin Qianbai tilted his head: "He didn't do anything."
Yan Qi did nothing and ran away.
Shigure-kun didn’t show up either.
In the end, Takizawa Yoshihisa was taken away by Miss Qin.
From the standpoint of a friend, Qin Qianbai began to think.
Yan Qi has great supernatural powers, and Shigure-kun has always been reliable. After the two exchanged words, they ran away together without saying anything. The conclusion that a person with super powers would naturally draw is...
Gongsun Ce hammered his legs angrily: "It's not so much that you believed in a bad woman as you believed in a friend! If you two left without saying a word, then I must have thought that Alice Adar was nothing. Crazy people, if you are busy with other important things, leave it to me, Mr. Gongsun!! How could I imagine that Shigure-kun knew the truth but didn’t tell me a word? Hey Shigure-kun, Shigure boy, Shigure! Reiichi, you better give me an explanation!!!"
The young man in a suit smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Yan Qi didn't let me say..."
Gongsun Ce roared angrily: "I knew it! Then do you think it's my fault? You don't know why he did this, but I was treated like a fool by that bastard!!!"
"Ace, who was unprepared, was still too naive, and this cannot be changed."
Saying this, the expressionless girl secretly made a decision.
——After everything is over, he and Ate will beat up Yan Qi together.
"What a mistake this time... Tsk."
The gray-haired young man supported the ground and failed to stand up after several attempts.
The girl ducked down.
"There's nothing you can do, just put your arm around my shoulder."
With the girl's help, Gongsun Ce finally stood up.
He heard the girl next to him say: "Speaking of which, although we have discussed it before, when did Yan Qi give you the advice? Is it that unclear declaration of war between the bastards?"
"Yes, Yan Qi sent me a text message this afternoon. This guy came here just to find me."
Miss Qin took out her mobile phone from her friend's pocket and called up the latest text message.
【I am Yan Qi. Gongsun boy, it’s almost time for you to die. I sent the stuff to Mo Yuankai, you can decide whether to use it or not. 】
She blinked, understanding.
"Ah. Originally, Ace planned to die once today, so that's why he said that he meant to kill Rei Shigure."
He originally wanted to put it off until evening.
It is said that he will not really die, but who knows how it will actually develop. After all, achieving something at the cost of death, even temporary death, is not an easy task. Extraordinary powers can bring about miracles of resurrection...but miracles are never free.
"Who would have thought that things would develop like this half a day ago. Please help me take a look at my pocket watch."
With a click, the cover of the pocket watch opened in Qin Qianbai's palm. The dial is not damaged and the hands are still moving in one tick. It is great that this thing was not damaged in the collision just now.
The current time is 10:03:40, five minutes have passed since Gongsun Ce's "death".
Lord Shigure smiled softly and said, "The effect of the curse on the balance has just ended. Do you need more rest time, Gongsun?"
"It's been five minutes, which is already too long for me."
Now, the mind has finally returned to its normal state.
What was tumbling in my heart was gratitude to my friends, peace of mind about surviving the disaster, self-blame for my own arrogance, and worry about the external situation.
And, the unprecedented anger that burned specifically for Shigure Rei.
"Let's go, you two. Yan Qi can't handle everything on his own. It's time to let the Liuli Disaster end..."
The superpower clenched his fists.
"It's time to beat Alice out of her sweet dream!"
