Sky City, Dingyi District, Qingkong International Airport.
"Covered with white wax wings ♪ Say goodbye to the past ♪"
"Fly to the sun and moon♪The world on the clear sky♪"
As soon as the new song started, the environment became noisy. A tourist reluctantly took off his headphones and looked at the building where he was with other people who got off the plane.
This oval-shaped translucent building built on the lower left wing of the dragon is the first place where most outsiders interact with the floating city. Most of the tourists looked around curiously, wanting to see what the legendary super-powered teenagers looked like. However, the few tourists who came not because of their own wishes but because of work or family reasons often had sad faces and said something in their mouths or in their hearts. All languages murmured evil things about dragons.
No matter what tourists think in their minds, what they will see here is basically not in line with their imagination. The airport looks similar to other places. There is no dragon-scale floor with strange patterns carved on it. There are no fashionable young people flying over the walls. There are only inhibitor checks over and over again, security that is at least five or six times stricter than elsewhere, and human rights activists. large banners and their angry roars.
"5.7 million families have been torn apart because of you! Save the children!" "They have lost their freedom, they can no longer lose their lives!" "The dragon's corpse has caused a new dragon disaster! Who can guarantee the safety of the children?!"
The airport staff all smiled and ignored it - employees with poor psychological quality had resigned long ago - and kindly reminded tourists to pay attention to their safety and led them away from the signs and banners. The tourists who thought they had nothing to do with them felt some sympathy in their hearts, but they also felt it was a bit noisy.
Only a few tourists would think about how the people who have something to do with the shouts of human rights activists...for example, people with super powers...think about this?

"It's so noisy!"
In the departure hall, which is one floor away from the tourists, a young man wearing a peaked cap kicked the toilet.
"What's the use of just saying it and not doing it? I've never seen you in the city! You're all paid actors!!"
A voice came from the cleaning room next door: "Actually, there are also a small number of parents of students... There are always some people who are unwilling to accept the reality, Millais."
As if he still felt relieved, Millais kicked the toilet twice more, and then knocked on the single room next door: "Yes, just like us now! How are you going?"
"I'm working hard, I'm working hard! Okay, this small area of monitoring is fine for the time being. You can come out, and everyone can come in."
Three more children dressed in different styles walked into the bathroom and stood with the two people who came out of the stall. They are all just entering junior high school, and many of them have abundant pimples on their faces. Their skin colors range from light to dark, and their hair colors are different. Standing together, they look like they came from some international summer camp. The team that escaped secretly.
As the leader of this small group, Millais confirmed the details with them one by one: "Li Zi, false identity. Liang Ya, clothing. Anthony, inhibitor check. Report the situation."
"The Tawawaku family who came here to visit relatives happened to be a family of five." "The clothes can be made in three seconds." "The visual and sound effects are all ready. I hope it can succeed."
The boy in the peaked cap rubbed his face fiercely: "Remember, if something goes wrong, change your plan immediately and hijack the airliner you were looking for. I don't want to be locked up here for the rest of my life! We must succeed!"
"Oh!" The companions whispered in unison, seeing unconcealable tension in each other's eyes. They will deceive the airport security check by pretending to be tourists visiting relatives from abroad...
Who knows how feasible the plan is? But preparation never ends, they have to try. No one can guarantee that they will get such detailed information a second time, so just bet everything on this opportunity.
Then bet everything on this opportunity! The five children shouted in their hearts at the same time. Li Zi removed the "Cleaning" sign at the door and was the first to walk out of the bathroom. According to the original plan, they were going to knock the tourist unconscious and hide him in the cleaning room.
As soon as his companion walked out of the door, the boy in the peaked hat began to feel uneasy. Damn it, he has never had a fight since he came to this city. But everything is fine, it won't cause any casualties, and it can all be done with superpowers.
Millais tried his best to convince himself so that his conscience would not be so guilty. Otherwise, what else can be done? Can you still give up now?
"I...I still feel a bit...involving innocent people..."
Someone whispered, and Millais almost echoed. Damn it! The plan was well planned before, but when it came time to actually implement it, my conscience and confidence became unsettled. He glanced at his watch nervously and realized that a minute had passed since his companion went out.
"..."
The boy in the peaked hat swallowed.
Well, something really happened. Instead of worrying about innocent tourists, it’s time for them to worry about themselves.
"Li Zi hasn't come back yet, so go grab the plane!"
Now everyone was frightened. No one expected that the plan would go wrong at the beginning. No one dared to move for a while. It was not until the boy in the peaked hat had the courage to rush out that the remaining three followed him shouting: " Ahhhh! Ahhhhhh!!!”
One after another they ran out of the bathroom and stopped one after another. It was not because their legs were weakened by unknown fear, but because some indescribable force gripped their bodies.
The feeling was really... weird and terrifying, making them so frightened that they almost screamed. I couldn't lift my hands, couldn't move my legs, and my body stayed firmly in place, as if my whole body was "pressed" by some invisible thing. Millais finally thought of a suitable metaphor. It was like waking up from a dream in the middle of the night. Knowing that he had woken up, he could only stare and gasp in bed, unable to move at all.
He remembered that his classmates from the Empire called this "ghost pressing the bed". The true evil nature seems to be suppressed by an evil ghost or ghost. This is how I feel now.
Li Zi, who had gone out before, was standing a few steps away from him, his upper and lower teeth constantly trembling. He had never seen this optimistic boy with such an ugly face before.
"Good morning, everyone. It seems that everyone is here. So, what is going on?"
Then, Millais heard a sound.
The sound came from in front of Li Zi, where there was a person standing facing them.
"Based on your reaction just now, I guess you are newcomers who have only been here for a few years? You should have only been here for about 2 years, and you have reached the most anxious period. Judging from your age, you are all junior high school students, and you are usually in school. I'm right in saying that a good student who follows the rules has basically no experience in capable combat."
A sense of fear seized the boy's heart for a moment. How did he know? Is it a psychic ability, or has he encountered a powerful person who can hack into the database? There is no reason for my group’s information to be checked in advance!
"How should I put it... It's not the ability to read minds or the hacker master you may be imagining. This is something you can understand just by looking at the reaction. Let's not mention that you look better than the takeaway you ordered after not eating for three days. You look even more ugly. I just imprisoned your body, rather than giving an order not to attack like a narcissistic woman. But so far, no one has launched a counterattack against me, which already explains the problem. ”
The man continued to speak, his speaking speed was slightly faster than ordinary people, his tone was calm, but there was an air of pressure that could not be refuted.
"I feel that my appearance is not scary enough for people to show such expressions. The reason for such a big reaction is probably that you have been in an unprecedented tense situation before. It is understandable, after all, this place does not allow people with super powers. Entering. To sum up the situation, several good students who have just arrived a few years ago and have almost no combat experience took the risk and sneaked into the airport. I think the highest possibility is-"
"Ahhh! Electric shock!!"
Millais was finally forced by the excessive pressure to lose control of himself. He yelled and shot a small bolt of lightning. This was the superpower that the boy in the peaked hat was proud of. As long as it hit, it could make people unconscious——
Snapped.
But they only heard a soft sound, and the small lightning disintegrated when it flew halfway, as if it had hit an invisible thick wall.
Cold sweat broke out on the back of the boy in the peaked cap.
He could now understand why Li Zi was so afraid. The greatest strength that could be relied upon had inexplicably failed, and anyone else would be scared!
He searched in his mind for knowledge that could explain this phenomenon. Abruptly, Millais remembered the precautions an enthusiastic senior had explained to him not long after he arrived in the Sky City.

Listen to me, Millais. It's good that you remember the rules your teachers taught you. Now here are some important things that teachers won't teach you. You won't need these most of the time, but trust me, it's always good to know.
In this city, there are some people who cannot be messed with.
They are superpowers, just like you, but different. Their abilities are not the same as the tricks you know. Their power is far beyond your imagination. Their appearance is - at least mostly - human, just like you. But don’t treat them as human beings. Think of typhoons, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or any other inhuman fear you know.
A good example comes to mind, Dragon Scourge.
Do you have an impression in your mind? That's fine, and then remember, they're scary things on that scale. I don't know if they can fight a dragon, but they can definitely crush you as easily as a dragon.
I'll tell you about their appearance and abilities, but before that you have to remember one thing.
Never mess with them, ever.

"You all want to sneak into the passenger plane and escape from the Sky City. And this plan was completed with the help of a third party who did not appear here, right?"
The man was still narrating calmly, not at all annoyed by the attack just now.
Their plan was seen through before they even started. Even without them saying a word, the person guessed what was going on with the facilitator.
Millais began to pay attention to the appearance of the other party, and checked the information he had heard before one by one...
·
…When you meet him, you find you can’t do anything.
Your little tricks are of no use to him. They will malfunction, they will fail, and you will be unable to move at all, as if your body is bound by a spell. It's like there is an invisible demon wandering in front of your eyes, crushing all your efforts into crumbs with its claws.
Even if you keep your mouth shut and say nothing, he will tell you your purpose, tell you the details of your net worth, he will tell you what you plan to do and what preparations you have made for it. It's like an invisible demon has penetrated into your heart and used its claws to pull out all the secrets you want to hide.
During the whole process, he just stood there and looked at you calmly. Trust me, that's scary, Millais. You never want to experience that feeling of powerlessness.
Fortunately, he is very friendly to people most of the time.
Being very friendly means that he will not take the initiative to attack you. If you are in trouble, he will probably come to help you.
And if, just if, I don't want this to happen to you. If you happen to anger him, you'd better give up all your inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible and apologize sincerely to him. He'll spare you if you don't go too far, but that doesn't mean you won't be seriously injured and hospitalized. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be beaten so badly that you’ll occasionally wake up wailing at night after you recover.
This one has pretty obvious features. The young man with gray hair and glasses talks endlessly when chatting with others, and occasionally talks to himself when walking alone. He hates disrespectful behavior, hates unprovoked violence, and most of all, hates insulting words.
He will give his name, but we usually call him...
·
"By the way, it's rude to launch a sneak attack without introducing yourself. Your reaction was exactly the same as the one who walked out a minute ago. Otherwise, I would not have chosen to restrain you directly."
Gray hair, glasses, bad manners.
His upper and lower teeth also began to chatter. Millais knew who he had met.
One of the most terrifying people in the city, a demon-like man, he is... he is...
"Demon!! It's Demon!!!"
The companions let out shrill screams, and Millais cried loudly: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!!! Please! Let us go!! We don't know, we really don't know the demon is here!" !!”
The gray-haired young man pushed up his glasses and sounded extremely troubled: "So why do you give me such a strange nickname?"
They heard the demon say: "My name is Gongsun Ce, and I am a superpower like you."
·
At this age, you should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Don’t do things that harm others or yourself under the instigation of strangers. Don’t worry that they won’t arrest you. But the teachers’ reprimands are inevitable after you return to school. Once you do your best, Let’s use the holiday time for more than a month to prepare for volunteering...
After a usual lecture, Gongsun Ce handed over the crying junior high school students to the airport staff. Further investigation is the job of the officials and has nothing to do with him, a working college student.
He walked out of the airport gate and headed to the nearest bus stop.
The sun is shining brightly today and the sky is clear.
There are no impermanent magicians, no dragon worshipers, no dragon plagues, and no weirdos falling from the sky. Rei Shigure probably lost his life and doesn't know what will happen next, and the lives and deaths of the rest of the dragon worshipers are also unknown. However, none of this has anything to do with him.
The only things related to him today are the cries of human rights activists, the newcomers who have never even fought in the ability battle, and the children who failed to escape from prison again before they even started.
All in all, they are commonplace things. Similar things happen every week and every month. In the eyes of newcomers, the operation commonly known as "The Great Prison Break" is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure worth risking everything. In the eyes of old citizens, it is the same as shooting into the sky. Machine guns are no different - loud and pointless. It is precisely because of its meaninglessness that it has become a common sight in this city.
Gongsun Ce stretched and sighed: "Daily life is so good."
