"..."
Take off your suit little by little.
The blood-stained outer garment fell to the ground, leaving only the white inner lining. Carefully lift up the shirt, trying to prevent broken fibers from sticking to the wound.
This was a painful process, and the wounds on his body were picked up from time to time, causing him to gasp heavily.
"……call……"
Finally took off my shirt.
He took off his bloody white gloves and looked at himself in the mirror.
His naked body was covered with ugly scars, old wounds that had existed for a long time. His body was as unbearable to look at and as miserable as the hands that were usually hidden.
Now there are dozens of new stab wounds on the body. The most brutal one cuts from the shoulder to the waist, almost splitting the entire torso into two parts. All the wounds only broke the flesh and did not damage the bones. It was not so much that he was lucky, but rather that the person who killed the person was too skilled.
As long as you pay the price, this level of injury can be cured in an instant...
However, the price paid will never come back.
If the condition for healing one's own injuries is to be injured in another sense, what is the point of such a transaction?
The curse is not a miracle. He warned himself by repeating the truth he already knew in his mind.
He turned around and tried to turn on the faucet. At this time, the bathroom door opened, and the gray-haired superpower stood at the door, just in time to meet him.
"……oops."
Shigure Reiichi smiled bitterly.
He remembered that he locked the door. If something like this happened, it was probably the intelligence dealer who had done something.
Gongsun Ce walked in silently, used his superpower to turn on the faucet, and controlled the hot water to float up to clean his friend's wounds.
The young man from Lingdao raised his hand helplessly: "Hey... after such a short period of time, all your injuries have been healed. What an amazing doctor."
"Second-rate medical skills, first-rate superpowers, and first-rate treatment fees. Taken together, he is a first-rate doctor."
When he was receiving treatment just now, Reiichi Shigure should also be in the room.
The "doctor" wouldn't mind earning more money, and Mo Yuankai was not someone who would obstruct treatment. The young man in a suit chose to deal with the wound alone, which could only be out of his own will.
The superpower's eyes scanned the scars on his friend's body.
Reiichi Shigure wears a suit and gloves every day, barely showing any skin except his face.
He always looks so chic and decent, like a character stepping out of a painting.
"I've already suggested that you get cosmetic surgery."
After roughly cleaning the wound, the gray-haired young man found a bottle of medical alcohol, manipulated the colorless and transparent liquid to float out from the mouth of the bottle, and began to disinfect it.
"It hurts...that won't work, the effect of the Impermanence Method will be weakened."
so what? What good is the power gained at this price? Wouldn't it be better to erase all traces of the past and simply start a new life?
The gray-haired young man admitted that he had more or less such thoughts in his mind. But this cannot be said, not only because I was saved by my friend's ability tonight, but also because everyone has their own choices.
Only you know your own affairs and do not allow others to interfere. Even your closest friends can only make suggestions, but there is absolutely no reason to persuade others to accept them.
"It will hurt a little, please bear with it."
The young man brushed his friend's body with his fingers, and the white matter filled the wound, stopping the bleeding.
"According to my experience, the pain will be almost gone after ten minutes. It will take longer to be completely cured. For you, it will take at least two or three days."
"Thank you, Gongsun."
Shigure Reiichi was also thinking at this time, what kind of ability did his friend use?
It sounds too bizarre that solid substances can also be used as healing powers, and it has nothing to do with the telekinesis he most commonly uses.
But this should not be asked by him face to face, just as the other party did not ask him what he did. Everyone has things that he does not want to share with others.
After the superpower man took care of his friend's wounds, he turned on the faucet and washed his hands. For a while, there was only the sound of running water in the bathroom.
The two were speechless for a while, until the gray-haired young man turned off the faucet and said, "I don't quite understand Shigure Rei."
"where?"
"It's everywhere. Alice is just a role played... I can't convince myself to believe this. After revealing her true identity, her words and deeds have changed a lot, but she can't be called a different person. "
Rei Shigure still reacts to his own jokes.
Rei Shigure still had the same tone as before when he spoke.
Rei Shigure would still sigh in surprise, like a loser single young woman.
It didn't feel like fighting a mortal enemy, but more like a former partner showing a strange side.
Reiichi Shigure said: "Sister Zero, her character is like that——"
"Wait, wait, wait, what is Sister Zero's name?!"
The young man from Zero Island picked up the dirty gloves and seemed to be hesitating on what to do with them: "Most of Shigure has been raised together since childhood. We have no blood relationship with each other, but because we grew up together, , they treat each other like a real family.”
I think this should also be due to the deliberate promotion of the researchers, Shigure Reiichi added later.
Gongsun Ce remembered their names.
Shigure zero, Shigure zero.
Shigure Reiichi, Shigure Zero One, Shigure 01.
The gray-haired young man took a breath of air: "I imagined her calling you brother, and the hairs all over my body stood up!"
"Haha." Shigure Reiichi dug out a plastic bag in the bathroom cabinet and stuffed the blood-stained clothes into it one by one. "What do you think of 'Alice'?"
"She..."
The young man recalled the chat between the two today and said to his friend.
Alice is an independent and self-reliant woman.
She looked down upon official people and felt vaguely hostile to them.
She is confident in her abilities, but also has a sense of responsibility and a simple sense of justice.
It can be seen from many details that she does not have a lot of money, but she is also working hard to make money to make her life better.
When she looked at the residence where she and Mo Yuankai lived, there was an unconcealable feeling of envy in her eyes. She should want to have a house of her own, it doesn't have to be luxurious, just comfortable.
She is not as mature as she appears, but has a girlish innocence. She feels that as long as the people around her don't lie, she will not be deceived.
She loves adventure and freedom...
The superpower ends with this sentence.
"When I took her pigeon riding, she said she was very happy. I don't think that was a lie."
Alice at that time, Rei Shigure at that time, her joy was not a deliberate disguise, but a genuine feeling from the bottom of her heart.
——"This is the happiest moment I've had in a while... no, maybe, since I was born until now."
She said during her previous fight that she never regretted it.
Now that I think about it, that was actually a lie.
——"I'm already regretting it. I shouldn't have dragged you into the muddy water."
——"You can forget all this and go back to your own life."
On the back of the dove, the woman once said this. She was so happy that she gave up on using superpowers.
If he had agreed with the other party's suggestion at that time, how would everything have developed?
He had no way of knowing what might happen in the future, and was just waiting for his friend's response after speaking these words.
"That's it."
Reiichi Shigure stopped what he was doing: "Did you know, Gongsun? Except for a few exceptions, ordinary impermanence means that you can only study one kind of mind in a lifetime. Just like a superpower person can only have one superpower. It’s the same, it’s not impossible, it’s just that it can’t be done.”
He thought of the flowers beside the woman.
Narcissus in spiritual form, blue orchid in Brahma form.
"Rei Shigure can use two impermanence methods. Is this what the Shigure Research Institute did to her? It's not like she has a dual personality..."
"The other side of me, this would be more appropriate." Shigurei tied up the plastic bag, "She told me when I was a child that she must find a way to escape from the institute in the future. She wants to be like the adventure in the story Travel around the world like a family, buy a house of your own, and live a free life.”
Are you just playing a role?
Or rather, the feelings hidden in my heart are gradually revealed in the process.
Or rather, in the process, the desires suppressed in my heart gradually emerged.
"It's not so much that she's playing Alice..."
He concluded on behalf of his friend.
"Rather, Alice is who she wants to be."
·
Shigure Reiichi stared at the plastic bag in distress.
The superpower walked out the door and came back a minute later with a long-sleeved anime T-shirt and jeans.
The young man from Lingdao looked at the mighty robot that occupied most of his T-shirt: "No, Gongsun."
"There is also a swimsuit with a beautiful girl pattern. Mo Yuankai bought it for his collection and didn't have time to wear it. Other than that, I guess you are wearing something similar to a bathrobe."
Rei Shigure smiled bitterly and put on his clothes, and the gray-haired young man handed him a pair of protective gloves for cleaning.
"unacceptable……"
"Just make do with it, ah."
They walked out of the bathroom and said hello to the information dealer who was drinking Coke and watching TV. Shigure Reiichi sat down on the wooden chair in the living room, looking a little embarrassed.
He understands the other person completely. Anyone wearing clothes with the words "Invincible Steel Brave!" and robots printed on them, and wearing a pair of pink cleaning gloves in front of people they don't know very well would be embarrassed.
Mo Yuankai gave a thumbs up to the man in the anime T-shirt: "It fits so well, this set is for you!"
"Thank you...thank you."
The awkward atmosphere seemed to be getting thicker, and Gongsun Ce decided to change the subject: "So, what is all this about?"
"When I was next to the ramen shop, I had just noticed the situation, and I wasn't quite sure what was going on. To be honest, I was also surprised when I saw Sister Ling and Gongsun acting together."
Shigure Reiichi slightly adjusted the condition of his collar: "But the presumptuous appearance may alert the authorities and make the officials suspicious of 'Alice'. I decided to remind you first not to act rashly, and I will contact you when the right opportunity arises." , act together as a 'local helper of Sky City'."
What would have happened if Reiichi Shigure had joined in midway?
Just like he could recognize Rei Shigure, 'Alice' would definitely be able to recognize him. With Shigure-kun's help, it should be easy to deal with the dragon worshipers. And as long as she reveals her friend's identity midway and secretly tells Rei Shigure to use his super power, that woman should give up her plan to summon the dragon...
"Then we will spend a thrilling and exciting night to maintain the peace of this city. After that, Miss Alice Adar left the Sky City, Rei Shigure is still on the run, and my heart does not need to be ripped out like it was today. Go back and everyone is well?"
Shigurei smiled and said: "I think it is a good development. But I didn't expect Mr. Yan Qi to come this time..."
They looked at the TV, where emergency reports about the Liuli Disaster were broadcast on the big screen. The frontline reporter shouted excitedly: "According to the data received so far, the death toll from this dragon disaster is an unprecedented 0!" The screen soon cut to the expert connection link, where a bald man with a golden beard looked seriously. Speaking of which, all major countries took the lead in handling this dragon disaster, and major local institutions in the Sky Capital responded actively. After using the latest developed ultra-high-density biochemical weapons at all costs, they were able to achieve unprecedented zero casualties...
Gongsun Ce remembered that he was the president of the Central United University. The information dealer smacked his lips and turned off the TV.
The obese young man took a sip of ice coke and said to Shigurei: "No wonder. You want to protect Gongsun, Shigurei, and the capital of the sky, but Mr. Yan comes in the middle and says you want to kill the dragon. You We can only save Gongsun first, then help slay the dragon, and finally save Rei Shigure. To end up like this, it’s really... Oh, why bother?"
The gray-haired young man's eyes widened: "Hey brother, this is a private matter - ah!"
The eldest brother flicked his fingers and hit him on the forehead, and the super-powered person fell down while covering his head.
"It's not a private matter. If Shigurei hadn't been there, you would have died tonight. He was almost cut into strips just now because of the injuries you helped treat. Do you understand what a friend is, A Ce? A life-threatening friendship. You can ask about these things!”
Gongsun Ce screamed while lying on the sofa, and Shigurei couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha. It's actually nothing. I just went to save Sister Zero, so that's why it turned out like this."
Gongsun Cexu looked at his friend: "It's so hard, Mr. Shiyu."
"You are the one, Gongsun."
He stretched out his fist and touched his friend lightly.
At this time, the door of the room was banging, and an impatient visitor was knocking hard. Gongsun Ce opened the door and saw Yan Qi with an annoyed look and Qin Qianbai holding a bottle of champagne.
The expert from the empire yelled after entering the door: "What a bullshit modern city. There is a dragon disaster in the middle of the night and all the restaurants are closed. After walking around, there are only home-cooked restaurants in the community! After saving the world, eating stir-fried snacks at night, what a world!"
Gongsun Ce controlled several large lunch boxes to float to the dining table.
Miss Qin Qianbai was shaking the bottle up and down: "Look, look, this is the champagne that Yan Qi forced to buy by kicking open the door of the liquor store in a rage."
The superpower nodded slowly and said to a middle-aged man: "What do you want to say to me?"
Yan Qi smiled sarcastically: "What do you want to hear? Do you want me to praise you for doing well?"
Gongsun Ce clenched his fists.
"Yan Qi——!!!"
With anger that had exceeded its upper limit, he punched the expert in the face and knocked him to the ground.
"Bad boy!"
The expert who fell to the ground got up and started fighting with the superpower. The female college student quietly stumbled, so Yan Qi fell as soon as she stood up, and was unfortunately at a disadvantage in the fight.
Qin Qianbai uncorked the wine bottle.
The foam and liquid spurted out from the mouth of the bottle with a bang, and the rich aroma filled the living room. She said expressionlessly: "Open the champagne."
