At the same time, the central area.
"Woohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly
A trembling pink-haired girl sat in the back seat of a bright red sports car.
In her hand she held a black Walkman.
Mr. Shiyu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, chuckled and said, "Looking at the bright side, you and Gongsun and the others saved the world together."
Qiluo said with tears in her eyes: "The knife went right against the scalp! My head almost fell off!!"
"It's okay, it's okay. With today's technology, I can get you back in a short time~" Caldesia, who was in the passenger seat, maliciously frightened the passengers, "Compared to this, what on earth have you done?"
"It's Gongsun Ce's impromptu plan!!"
Qiluo trembled and talked about the plan that a certain superpower came up with when he was on his way.
·
(He created a world?! Is he on the same level as Yan Qi?!)
(Strictly speaking, it’s stronger than you think. Just like the several magicians you have fought with are superior and inferior, there should also be differences in combat effectiveness within the same realm among the magicians of creation. Tianji and Mingke , are all recognized as one of the pinnacles of this realm.)
(Let me understand. Sokai is stronger than you and Rei Shigure. They are stronger than ordinary Sokai. Is this the relationship?)
(There is no problem with general understanding.)
(IX, then I’ll give a shit. Where’s Yan Qi?! Where’s Yan Qi’s people?! He’s going to destroy the city. What’s this guy doing!!!)
(I understand your feelings, but swearing at me won’t help. Your character is about to collapse. I tried several times but couldn’t contact Mr. Yan Qi. It’s obvious that he also encountered a problem. Official sources should have also We are dispatched, but the probability of stopping Ming Ke... is very low.)
(Oh, I'm in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, tsk...thank you, I understand.)
After thinking for a while, Gongsun Ce asked.
(Shigure-kun, if I want to achieve this effect: making a person's actions leave no traces in a short period of time and not be noticed, what price do you have to pay?)
·
As soon as Gongsun Ce communicated with Shiyu Rei, he learned about the desperate difference in combat power between the two sides.
Mingke is the highest level in Creation, on the same level as Tianji and the Dawn Knight. Even if he, Gongsun Ce, pulls out the Final Sword, he will never be able to defeat him.
Then it can only be outsmarted. The key to stopping Ming Ke is Zuoshou's Walkman. After taking back the Walkman, even Ming Ke shouldn't be able to make millions of people go crazy in a short period of time.
Therefore, he thought of Qiluo, who only he could "see".
Now there is no need to worry about involving irrelevant people. If a world-creating magician goes crazy, that big guy will most likely be doomed. It is better to try his best in the end.
——"Miss Qiluo, to put it simply, the Sky City may be destroyed. Now I am going to risk my life with a lunatic named Ming Ke. I know this is difficult for you..."
——"Leave it to me, Gongsun Ce! Everyone has done so much for me, how can I do nothing!!"
Fortunately, Miss Qiluo is very conscious. So with Qiluo's precise assistance, Gongsun Ce made a white counterfeit that was exactly the same in appearance, weight, and feel as the original Walkman... and used Qiluo's ability to make its color exactly the same as the original.
It was the lowest intelligence interference he could think of. If Ming Ke could spot the imitation at a glance, then he would have to suspect that the other party's eyes were also given by the Nether Dragon.
After that, Shigure Reiichi added a second layer of insurance remotely. Kirara herself used her ability to hide her figure, and Shigure-kun then used the effect of the Curse Scale to hide the traces of her actions, minimizing the possibility of being discovered. Sex, achieving double concealment.
Finally, it is the key step to replace the beam with the pillar.
Replace genuine products with counterfeit ones. Naturally, this was the purpose of the gray-haired young man's initial series of nonsense. Let Ming Ke relax his vigilance, let Ming Ke think he didn't understand the situation, let Ming Ke take out his Walkman, and then...
·
"In the eyes of Ming Ke and Qin Qianbai, it was Gongsun Ce who hooked the Walkman."
Qiluo described the scene carefully.
"That's not actually the case. Gongsun Ce said that he didn't have the confidence to snatch the Walkman from Ming Ke. He said that he would definitely be stopped by the other party... Therefore, he only knocked the real Walkman aside."
"What really happened was that after I heard the secret signal, I threw the counterfeit product in my hand and caught the genuine product that was knocked away by Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce then pretended to grab something and caught me and threw it out. Fake Walkman to go.”
What Ming Ke saw was the last scene.
Anyone would think that what such a desperate young man is snatching is the real thing. Who would have thought that there is a "non-existent" third person standing aside and putting away the real thing?
"Without this move, he might find it inconsistent, but after seeing this scene, he will definitely focus on the fakes... Gongsun Ce said this."
Afterwards, Qiluo fled the scene in fear and flew out of the train with the white matter glider prepared in advance. Caldesia relied on flames to create updrafts, and took Qiluo's hand, and the three of them temporarily gathered in the car.
After listening to the whole process, Caldesia commented with a dull face: "Sometimes his acting skills make me feel terrible."
The young man in a suit who felt the same way excused his friend out of friendship.
"Gongsun also had no choice but to do so... I think it means he was struggling under heavy pressure."
Qiluo wiped her tears and said with a sad face: "Now that I think about it, there are many flaws in this plan! If there is a chance to temporarily destroy the Walkman, why not just destroy it..."
Rei Shigure stabbed the Walkman hard with his dagger, sparks flew out, and the small black box was completely unharmed.
"Qiluo-chan still lacks experience~ That paranoid Kushou will definitely handle such an important thing safely."
The top hat girl took the Walkman and melted it into a pile of scrap metal with high-temperature flames.
"Done! It's up to me to contribute!"
Qiluo finally felt relieved after seeing that this terrible thing was destroyed. She looked into the sky uneasily: "How are Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai?"
·
Miss Qin is now caught in a rare mixture of joy and sorrow.
I was very happy that the crisis in Sky City was resolved; I almost cried when I thought everything was over, but found out that everything was fine, I was very sad.
"——That's it, my little cleverness has some effect! Cough cough cough!"
While the super-powerful person was telling her plan, she was using white matter to patch up the holes in her body - Qin Qianbai's injury was treated with her own abilities after it slowed down for a while. It was quite convenient to harden and stop the bleeding.
"..."
Ming Ke had been silent since Gongsun Ce began to explain, just listening curiously. It wasn't until he listened to the whole process that he finally made a sound.
"……ha."
There was no sign of frustration or anger. The man felt deeply happy and smiled happily.
"Haha, hahaha, hahahahaha! That's it, it's another trick! You don't have that ability, but you relied on the help of that girl to deceive me!"
Qin Qianbai said expressionlessly: "You have deceived me too."
"Hey miss, didn't I show you Miss Qiluo's hairpin?!"
"I thought it was Ace's cue to ask Qiluo to launch a sneak attack. No matter what I thought, it was too much. Fortunately, I also seriously considered the possibility of Qiluo awakening a powerful ability."
"That kid doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, so I asked her to sneak attack Mingke?! You're going too far to consider this kind of development, aren't you?"
Ming Ke shook his head helplessly.
If Qin Qianbai hadn't launched an attack together at that time, and if the two of them had even thought of retreating during the battle, he would probably have been more careful and recovered the things in time.
But even if the martial arts is superb, even if the impermanent law reaches the realm of creation, the inertia of human thinking still exists.
If a leaf blocks your eyesight, it will be difficult to see the mountains in front of you. The sense of dissonance that can usually be observed is easily overlooked due to the interference of dual strategies and combat thinking. Facing a giant dragon, such methods are of course useless; but for humans like him, sometimes simple mistakes are so easy to make...
If Yan Qi knew about it, he would probably laugh and call him a fool again. Thinking of this, Mingke felt happy but also felt more helpless.
The idea of going down there to find the whereabouts of the Walkman, or finding the person who produced these awful songs, was not something he would consider.
A warrior can refuse to admit defeat, but he must never refuse to admit defeat.
If you lose, you lose.
Ming Ke clapped his hands gently.
"Well done. Gongsun Ce, Qin Qianbai. This time, you won."
He didn't lose because of his stronger strength and superior skills, but he failed because of his inferior cleverness and the cooperation of the two.
This is also a fresh experience. For him, such a victory or defeat is equally enjoyable.
However, for selfish reasons.
He decided to play a little prank in return.
Ming Ke put on a ferocious expression and raised his sword again.
"However, I can't be plotted in vain - let's kill you here to vent my anger."
"..." "..."
This time, the two superpowers looked exactly the same.
Gongsun Cexu pointed his eyes at his chest: "Come on, chop, use force, chop here—fuck you, you really chop!"
The gray-haired young man who had been stabbed was rolling on the ground. Qin Qianbai shook his head silently.
Ming Ke sighed: "Why are you not afraid of me?"
This is the really strange question.
That fool is a scourge to society, but not a threat to people like you. Yan Qi's comment seemed strange when he first heard it, but now it seems to be just right.
——When Ming Ke was a "warring opponent", he was a harmless person.
"Why should I be afraid of a swordsman who doesn't kill people?"
The gray-haired young man replied awkwardly: "I'm not stupid, okay? If the eldest lady and I were fatally injured, could we still explain the plan to you like we just did? When we came here, we saw people who looked like corpses all the way. It looked scary. But they were all seriously injured and lost the ability to fight. Shigure-kun, who you fought with before, was also wounded but not dead. Do you believe that this is all a coincidence?"
Gongsun Ce's face was blank, and he didn't know what kind of expression he should make towards this person.
"All you think about is fighting. You wish we were ten times stronger before fighting you. Are you willing to kill your opponent? You wish the person you defeated would target you every day and practice crazily before seeking revenge against you. Come on! This way you can gather more afterimages in the world. You just want to see a world where everyone is violent!!!"
Ming Ke put away his swords and sat down on the transparent platform.
Now the sun has disappeared from the sky. The dreamlike light disappeared from the sky, and a waning moon emerged from the clouds. What enveloped the three people was the deep night and the shining stars.
The man replied leisurely: "Isn't that great?"
Qin Qianbai thought of past deeds again.
On the snowy night when he was seven years old, Qin Ming surpassed all the masters in his clan.
He was stained with countless blood, but he did not take action against himself and his grandfather, but left alone in the snow.
After that day, many tribesmen lost their confidence in practicing martial arts.
They realized their own limits and realized that they could never defeat Qin Ming. After working hard and training hard, they lamented and gave up. But in contrast, there are a very small number of tribesmen who have never forgotten the defeat that day, and are still striving to avenge their shame to this day.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Qin Ming's departure had a huge impact on this ancient family.
After that day, there was a peerless master in the world who called himself Ming Ke.
And on that snowy night when he was born, no one died because of him.
"Are you still leaving a thread?"
"Hmm." Ming Ke nodded, "To stay away is to be a passer-by, but to be a complete tourist is to be a devil. Being a comfortable tourist is more to my liking."
Just looking at this conversation, he really looks like a knight-errant.
But Qin Qianbai still remembered what he had done and what he had just planned to do.
To confirm, she asked: "What exactly did you do that day to make everyone agree to fight you?"
Ming Ke never forces anyone to fight.
She asked many elders, but everyone was embarrassed and silent. The answer to this question can probably only be obtained from Ming Ke himself.
Ming Ke replied calmly.
"I said if you don't fight me, I'll fight you. Everyone agreed immediately."
——There is nothing to say.
She was quite convinced that this man would really do this. If she was rejected, this person would also break into her home and tell the seven-year-old her, "If you don't come and fight with me, I will kill everyone in the family." Just like today, if she and Ate hadn't been able to stop him, he would have used that music to awaken all the superpowers in the city.
He is said to be a demon of evil ways, but he also leaves a trace. He is said to be a knight of righteous ways, but he does not consider the consequences of his actions. Sure enough, ordinary people cannot understand this man's thoughts.
Finally, Qin Qianbai had no choice but to speak again.
"You are a truly terrible person."
Qin Ming only looked into her eyes.
At this time, he was as gentle as in his childhood memories, as if he was still talking to the little girl from twelve years ago.
"You used to look good when you smiled. You'd better smile more."
Qin Qianbai stroked the side of his face and said nothing.
"I……"
Before the girl could respond, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but interrupt.
"Ahem, Mr. Ming. I don't know what the past is between you, but can you please don't say such rude and blunt things when we talk together? If you want to fight, fight or kill!"
Qin Ming and Qin Qianbai looked at him together, with the same strange eyes.
"Ace, his real name is Qin Ming."
"……ah?"
Ming Ke stood up, straightened his face, and said seriously: "I am her uncle."
After saying that, the man in green laughed and turned around. He laughed louder than ever today, as if he had seen something extremely interesting.
The guest never looked back and left on an invisible road, disappearing into the night without saying goodbye.
Only a girl with strange eyes and a young man with an awkward expression were left in the air.
"...Ahem, just." Gongsun Ce explained awkwardly, "I thought he was that kind of street kid, but I didn't know he was a relative of yours."
"Look, it's an incomprehensible expression. First of all, it's weird to think of Ming as a surname."
"Among the billions of people in the empire, there will always be someone with a rare surname, isn't it? It's normal!"
The eldest lady tilted her head and asked, "Even if it's true, why did Ace react so loudly?"
"You think this kind of person has a weird style but is so handsome that he is dangerous to girls. I protect you out of good intentions..."
Gongsun Ce explained incoherently, and he didn't even know what he was panicking about. The more he talked, the more he felt that the situation was not good, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you are not angry anymore?! What happened in the morning!"
Qin Qianbai blinked and was quiet for a few seconds before remembering: "Ah, we were still arguing this morning."
They both sighed. After going through many twists and turns in one day, they finally remembered what they originally wanted to do.
"Why did a perfectly good rest day end up like this... Hey, Miss, do you believe I really misunderstood that we were being plotted..."
"It's my fault. I'm sorry."
Qin Qianbai apologized bluntly, which surprised him greatly.
"Hey, it's true."
"My mind is too impulsive. Now that I think about it, Ace wouldn't deliberately say anything to make me unhappy."
Gongsun Ce raised his hand hesitantly, and after getting the other party's acquiescence, he gently pressed her head.
"Yes, Miss, you are so cute...how could I say you are a bear?"
If I really had to use an animal metaphor, it would be a willful cat.
"I am indeed cute."
"At least be shy and don't admit it so naturally. Where did you come from?"
As they were chatting and laughing as usual, the tight strings in their hearts gradually relaxed.
it's over. Fatigue, pain, and the absence of enemies told him that it was over.
The panic and uneasiness came as late as being remembered. Only then did he truly understand what kind of terrifying enemy he had just faced.
Breaking free from the same level of tension as the dragon, the moment of comfort almost made his body fall apart.
"Oh my god..." Gongsun Ce sighed weakly, "Is this the end...?!"
With a Kacha sound, there was the sound of something breaking beneath him.
The transparent platform left behind by Mingke was full of cracks, like a silent protest in a tough way. It's almost done. It's very tiring to be so stiff all the time. I also want to return to the air and rest, so you two should have left by now. This is what the broken air landed on, probably what he wanted to say.
"do not."
The gray-haired young man's dissuasion had no effect, and the platform beneath the two of them completely shattered, allowing them to fall to the earth with the pull of gravity.
"It's the Earth Descend Operation that A Ce likes." "Don't play tricks on old animations now!" "Hurry up and make a plastic film out of white matter." "That's for breaking through the atmosphere!" "Quickly transform into a surfer form. ." "If you can't do it, let alone a transformable machine, I'm not even a mecha warrior!"
"Hey..." "I really don't have the power anymore, use your ability to be a platform!!"
The eldest lady who fell with him said seriously.
"ah."
"Say more, don't say 'ah' at this time!! This is a different kind of hint of 'I've been prepared', isn't it? Please tell me this is not a brief expression of 'I don't have any power anymore'!!! "
"I don't have any power anymore."
The screams of the gray-haired young man were particularly sad.
“——It’s going to be smashed ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"Is this the gravity of the earth?" "Don't say that only this new type of human beings can understand!!!" "What should we do?" "I'm in the valley of strength! Come out, come out and read the power!!!" "
The telekinesis symbolically allowed the two of them to relax in the air for a moment, and then they could never come out again.
"Okay, that's it! Miss!"
"I'm trying hard."
Whether it was the two superpowers who exerted their last strength first, or whether their bodies fell first, is a question worthy of further investigation. Fortunately, before the answer to this question appeared, a burst of thermal air from below saved their lives.
Boom~ What caused the updraft was the blazing fire. With delicate operation, the airflow guided the two people to fall slowly and fell into the back seat of the red sports car.
After accepting the airborne passengers, the roof of the sports car slowly closed, and the large area of dried blood inside the car was particularly glaring.
Shigurei was the first to speak: "Thank you for your hard work, you two."
The gray-haired young man acted as a human cushion during his descent. He couldn't help but vomit blood, hugged the girl and shouted: "What kind of bad land are you?!"
The top-hatted woman in the passenger seat said leisurely: "I am a flame user, not an airflow user. It's good that I didn't make you fall to death~"
The eldest lady slapped his leg, and the gray-haired young man grinned and put the girl on the seat next to him.
He stared at the messy car and gasped for air, thinking that Mo Yuankai would go crazy when he saw this miserable situation: "Oh my god, what are you doing in the car? Isn't this car a bit crowded-?!"
"Oh! Gongsun Ce and Qin Qianbai, it's great that you guys are okay!! It scared me to death!!!"
Miss Qiluo, who was crowded next to her, hugged her with tears in her eyes, and the gray-haired young man screamed incessantly: "Miss Qiluo, please calm down first, stick it, stick it, ahhhhhh!!!"
At the moment, the sports car, which can only seat four people, is packed with five people. The driver in a suit smelled of gunpowder smoke and had several big holes in his clothes; the blond woman in a top hat was covered in dust and her clothes were stained with blood; the idol lady in the back seat looked shabby and her left hand drooped miserably; the last two people who arrived looked like It was as if he had just come off an ancient battlefield; coupled with the blood stains that exploded in the car, the scene was extremely tragic.
The eldest lady commented expressionlessly: "What a surreal situation."
Caldesia said with ill intentions: "Hey Xiaoqian, Gongsun Ce is being attached."
"I don't care about this kind of thing."
"Hey~~~~"
Then why are you in such a hurry to tear Qiluo off Gongsun? Shigure-kun shrugged and swallowed the words.
"Passengers, please sit tight and steady, the Red Meteor is about to accelerate." He turned on the on-board music and asked, "Where is the next stop?"
Gongsun Ce replied weakly: "Go to eldest brother's house! Whoever has a mobile phone, call eldest brother and ask him to order a takeaway for us... I'm starving to death."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The light guitar sound rang out from the car stereo, followed by an old song that everyone was familiar with.
"...I hear her voi the m hours, She calls me? The reminds me of my home far away?"
(She called me in the morning, and the radio broadcast reminded me of my distant hometown.)
The melodious singing floated out of the car window and echoed in the night, dispersing the smell of blood and gun smoke, allowing the reassuring calm atmosphere to return to the five people.
Qiluo subconsciously sang along.
"And driving down the road? I'll get a feeling, That I should have beeerday, yesterday?"
(Driving down the road, I felt like I should have gone home yesterday, gone home yesterday.)
The superpowers, who had completely relaxed, also followed with smiles one after another.
Living in the City of Dragons, they swayed their shoulders and sang songs that belonged to the small villages of the last century.
"...Take me home, try roads?"
(Country road, take me home.)
This small club named after music finally sang a song together.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
(One day off tomorrow)
