Time goes back a few seconds.
The battle between the demon and the dust explosion changes rapidly. Qiluo can rely on his own ability to see every move, but Milais, who does not have such observation ability, is dazzled.
The dust blast was injured... fell to the ground... The demon came after him. The two of them made no obvious movements, as if they were confronting each other on the rooftop...
The devil's hand was facing the direction of the two of them. The gray-haired young man's hand flashed, as if he was spinning the white pistol he had captured. Are you provoking the dust blast, or...?
"Sister, you have good eyesight. Can you see the gun in Brother Demon's hand?"
"You can see it! Gongsun Ce raised the gun, and he crushed it-oh my God!"
He and Qiluo exclaimed together. Gongsun Ce's body was suddenly enveloped in purple smoke, and another strange explosion occurred!
"What the hell! Is that gun really just a cover-up?!"
Millais was furious. He didn't understand the dust blast's ability mechanism at all, nor did he understand the demon's intentions. Is it because you hope they can help? But what can they do! The two people caught in the attack range would be finished in an instant, and now they can only watch from the side.
I can only watch from the side... and watch...?
"Sister, did you see clearly?" The junior high school student licked his lips nervously, "Before the explosion, did the pistol break first or was there smoke first?"
"..."
Qiluo fell into a rare silence. This girl with extremely precise observation skills recalled it for a long time before saying with uncertainty: "It should be..."
Millais took off his hat and scratched his hair. Vaguely, he felt like he had some idea.
·
The impact of the purple explosion came so fast that Gongsun Ce could barely control his body and fly out. His body was in excruciating pain as if he had been hit by a car, and his right arm, which was protected by white matter, even lost consciousness!
"——!"
The roof of the building was blown to pieces, and the damaged cement roof was pulled downward by gravity. Gongsun Ce's eyes widened after he inadvertently glimpsed the internal layout of the building.
At this moment, the young man deeply regretted it. He should first think of a way to move the battlefield, and then think about fighting the dust blast! I just missed this point...
The two of them were standing on the roof of the teaching building.
This is school!
Putting aside all worries, Gongsun Ce fully activated his superpower at this moment!
The dust blast cautiously changed its direction, dodging the attack while preparing for the next round of explosions.
But Gongsun Ce's counterattack did not appear. The purple-haired woman was slightly surprised. After discovering her opponent's actions, she couldn't believe it and felt it was ridiculous.
"Hey! Mr. Majin, are you okay with your mind?"
Chen Bao pointed at her feet, and she was so surprised that she didn't even rush to attack.
"When you are in a desperate situation, you still waste your precious strength on protecting the environment?!"
The smoke cleared and the truth was revealed. This teaching building is safe and sound. Gongsun Ce used telekinesis to maintain the broken roof and used white matter to repair the damaged structure!
If all the power is used to protect oneself, the super-powered person may not suffer such great damage, which is why Dust Boom is surprised.
"...Battles between superpowers cannot affect the school. This is a rule that everyone in this city abides by by default."
The two battles between Caldesia and the Skeleton Head, and him and Dust Blast, nearly affected most of the central area, but not a single innocent person was injured. This is the result of rules and regulations hidden under the surface of chaos.
Ordinary people not related to the fighting sought refuge at the nearest school. The superpowers in the battle will never take action against the school.
Whether it was Caldesia's flames or the Death Wings' bullets, all attacks tacitly avoided the scope of the school and bypassed the untouchable safety zone guarded by the rules.
Dustblast frowned.
"You tell me the rules?"
The other person looked at her like an elder looking at a naughty child. This condescending gaze made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Even when Deathwing was at its most rampant, those gangsters would not attack the school. Because there are their former classmates, former friends, and precious things that even they cannot abandon! The school is a refuge in this city So, quite a few of the people who retreated from the streets because of the fight between you and me are hiding under this teaching building!"
Gongsun Ce's calm voice contained growing anger.
"Think about your identity for me! No matter strong or weak, all superpowers are 'students'. Do you understand what this means? 'School' is the sanctuary of Sky City and the people of this city. , the only place where you can enjoy your daily life with peace of mind!”
Even during the craziest times a few years ago, Sky City was able to maintain the most basic order, and this is the reason why.
There are absolutely safe areas.
Not everyone has a specially fortified safe house in their home, and most ordinary residents have no choice but to take refuge in schools in the event of a dispute. Teachers at the school will protect students, and disputes on the streets will not spill over into the school. Even the white coats who have no bottom line will only send people to persuade the students at the school, but will never openly attack the superpowers in the school.
If even the lowest safety zone is destroyed, the thin line that maintains balance will most likely collapse completely. When the "ordinary people" who are cornered take to the streets frantically, the Sky City will completely lose order.
No one wants to see such a scene, not the big shots in Longshou District, not ordinary citizens, not even the gangsters in the alleys.
Dust Blast is a guy with no limits. The aftermath of the battle will inevitably spread to school buildings.
He knows this. However, when the woman asked with a strange look on her face, Gongsun Ce's long-suppressed anger finally burst out.
"How dare you laugh at my actions? Do you still have any brains, Chen Bao!"
Chen Bao covered his forehead and took two steps back. As if dizzy, her body leaned back.
Then, the woman bent down and laughed loudly.
"——You idiot!"
She laughed loudly, as if she had just heard something extremely ridiculous.
"School? Sanctuary? Rules? So stupid! Why should I abide by these broken rules? Why should I care about these useless ordinary citizens?"
"You can't even destroy a building! You can't even defeat an agile ordinary person! How can a trash who only knows a few tricks have the right to be called a 'superpower'? Eleven thousand of them died, and I have another what relationship?"
Chen Bao shrugged his shoulders and dismissed the young man's words.
"Demon, Mr. Demon, you don't really think that these 5.7 million people are your kind? Don't be stupid!"
"Rules exist to restrain the weak. That kind of thing has no meaning to me at the top. So what if superpowers without superpowers swarm over me? Even if I destroy this school today, no one can do anything to me. !”
Gongsun changed Chen Bao's positioning from "a newcomer without common sense" to a "brainless retard". He didn't want to waste any more words with this person. The gray-haired young man gritted his teeth, controlled his body with telekinesis like a puppet, and rushed towards the dust blast. Immediately afterwards, invisible spears and white matter fragments were shot out like rain, attacking the airspace ahead in all directions!
"The fight hasn't arrived yet!"
The dust blast kept turning in the air, directly using the impact of the explosion to eject itself out of the attack range. here we go again! So far, except for the sudden attack using her white matter substitute to attract attention, she had dodged all the remaining attacks in time!
"It's so disappointing! I was really looking forward to what the famous devil would look like, but in the end he was just an innocent kid who only used his power randomly."
Dust explosions danced back and forth in the air, and purple flashes of light appeared from time to time under their feet. Gongsun Ce fell back to the rooftop again, his body under the white armor covered with scars.
"Why should a guy of this caliber be compared with me? Are you relying on your words or your qualifications that you came here a few years ago? Are there any unwritten rules about seniority in this place?" She smiled disdainfully, "Mr. Majin, You'd better find a place to announce your retirement. Let's just say that I, Gongsun Ce, felt deeply lacking in strength and decided to retire on a good day to give up the title of one of the strongest. I believe everyone who is considerate will understand! "
"..."
This time, Gongsun Ce did not refute or launch a counterattack.
He removed the white helmet covering his head and took out a small black thing from his ear. Those were the headphones he took with him when he went out this morning for easy communication.
The excited voice of a certain junior high school student came from it.
"Mr. Majin, the pink-haired sister saw it! It was you who crushed the pistol first, and then the purple smoke appeared!"
"Good job, Milais." He raised the earphones so that the purple-haired woman opposite could hear Milais's voice, "Speak louder. Let Miss Chenbao, the top superpower, also hear it. Your discovery.”
The junior high school student timidly paused for a second, then mustered up the courage to speak.
"The true form of Purple Explosion is——"
Chen Bao's expression changed drastically. She activated her power as quickly as possible, trying to explode the earphones and Gongsun Ce at the same time.
However.
The ubiquitous purple smoke did not appear this time.
·
--there is a problem.
Dust Burst jumped out immediately and flew towards the distant building with the help of purple explosion.
Her feelings were unmistakable. For some unknown reason, the purple blast did not activate!
The demon relied on that junior high school student to understand the mechanism of his ability? But even so, he couldn't take countermeasures so quickly! My ability failed on the rooftop, but now I successfully took off. Is it just a coincidence?
Chen Bao's mind was in chaos, so she gritted her teeth and regained her composure.
The demon still has hidden methods, and now there is no room for a one-on-one duel. She must take away the experimental subject as quickly as possible and use it as a hostage!
In a few breaths, she stood in front of Qiluo and Milais. She immediately made a decision and before the demon arrived, she blew up the useless junior high school student until he was seriously injured and delayed his progress. She took the opportunity to take the experimental subject back to the laboratory.
Chen Bao grabbed Qiluo's collar with one hand and pointed at Milais fiercely.
she yelled as the two looked on in horror.
"——!"
The purple-haired woman couldn't make a sound.
Therefore, the purple smoke does not appear.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the gray-haired young man fell silently next to the three of them.
In his hand lay a white rune, a sharp angle piercing itself.
lonely.
·
What exactly is the ability mechanism of Purple Explosion?
This smoke and dust seemed to be generated for no reason. But Chen Bao's behavior of using a pistol to fight refutes this conjecture. Gongsun Ce tried to use the wind to disperse the purple smoke, but the smoke increased instead; the explosion itself also caused the purple smoke to increase; each time the dust explosion was able to dodge the attack in advance, making it difficult for telekinesis to capture her body...
All of this shrouded the true nature of her abilities in fog, so Gongsun Ce conducted a small experiment.
Destroy the pistol and let Qiluo observe the entire process of the ability taking effect.
The pistol shatters first, then there is smoke. The destruction of the pistol satisfies a prerequisite, and the conditions for the activation of this ability are also met by shooting, wind blowing, explosion, and avoiding attacks in advance. As a result, there was only one answer he could think of.
"Treading on the Stars"
sound.
The wind will make a sound, the explosion will make a blast, the air flow will also make a sound when attacking, and the pistol will make a sharp sound when it is crushed, and the invisible bullet she fired with the white pistol is probably an ultrasonic wave that the human ear cannot detect... …
The true form of the dust explosion ability is to rely on sound waves to create explosive purple smoke!
Her ability is very difficult. Before today, even if the ability mechanism was understood, Gongsun Ce would not have a good countermeasure. But today, after he read half of the reply...
In front of him, Chen Bao was even more powerless and fragile than the ordinary citizens she looked down upon.
The gray-haired young man raised his hand and pointed, and white words appeared in the air.
[It is not uncommon to think that one is superior to others based on the intensity of superpowers. 】
[Mr. Gongsun, I often refute these people and tell them that there are more important things than superpowers, such as a sense of responsibility, a sense of justice, and a kind heart. Of course, there are always people who won’t listen, and there’s nothing I can do about it. 】
A white brick appeared in his hand. White matter product, extremely hard.
[I occasionally think deeply about this issue. If people who are proud of their superpowers lose their superpowers——]
Gongsun Ce threw the bricks one after another.
[Are they still qualified to show off their power in front of ordinary people they look down on? 】
Chen Bao's face turned pale.
She quickly pushed Qiluo aside and ran decisively to the edge of the rooftop. To escape from this terrifying man, you must first leave the vicinity of the demon to have a chance of winning! !
Millais felt sincerely for the woman.
Having had one experience, he could already imagine what would happen next. Not surprisingly, he saw Miss Chenbao standing stiffly on the spot, as if bound by an invisible ghost.
[At the same time, I am also very curious. If a person who is proud of his superpowers is defeated by his superpowers——]
[Will they feel the feelings of the person they look down upon? 】
"——!!!!!!"
Chen Bao shouted something with a ferocious face. Was it a struggle before defeat, or an angry curse? The three of them couldn't hear her, and no one cared what she was saying. It's like a comical pantomime is going on on the rooftop.
Gongsun Ce broke the brick into two pieces, one large and one small, and put them into the hands of Qiluo and Milais respectively. He pointed at the back of Qiluo's hand, and then at Miss Chenbao's flushed purple face.
Millais suddenly understood. This kid had a kind heart and could not do such a rough thing. He hid the brick behind his back and silently cheered the pink-haired elder sister.
But Qiluo's behavior was different: she was really in pain.
Miss Qiluo, who had always been gentle, changed her expression rapidly at this time, vividly interpreting what "anger starts from the heart, and evil comes from the courage." She raised the brick menacingly, and without saying a word, hit the evil girl on the head. !
clang!
Gongsun Ce dispersed the Silence of Silence and fired a few invisible heavy blows without mercy.
He added mercilessly to the two "audiences" with encouraging applause.
"It seems you are not as noble as you think, Miss Chenbao."
