"I'm very sorry, dear students!" came the heartbreaking announcement from the host of the mutual aid club over the campus PA system. "Due to some well-known issues...such as brawls, fights, superpower fighting and accidental fireworks...the main venue The garden activities need to be suspended for a while for preparation! Anyway, this is what we do here every day. You are welcome to come back later!"
In fact, most of the people in the school had already evacuated when the hat sign flew up. The remaining onlookers expressed their understanding while feeling disappointed. After all, there were not many activities that could be held normally from start to finish in the Sky City. A few students could vaguely be heard muttering as they left:
"With such a big mess, where did the hero of the sky go?" "Maybe he hasn't come back yet..." "There's no need for him to appear for such a trivial matter!" "It's been a long time since I saw the hero... I heard..." "Don't talk nonsense! "The hero won't really retire, right?"
A junior high school student whispered: "...Then who should we ask for help from now on?"
This sentence made everyone look unhappy. The students immediately started talking about new topics, talking about comics, TV shows and recent trends, and walked faster outside the school gate.
Gongsun Ce leaned against the big tree and listened silently to the conversations of ordinary students, with no expression on his face.
"I'm sorry." Someone said behind him, "I've caused you trouble again."
"It doesn't matter. It's my fault after all. I didn't expect that everyone you provoked yesterday would meet here..." Gongsun Ce sighed, "At least the super power is under control. How do you feel now?"
The eldest lady walked to him and whispered: "It's much better. Why did you just encourage me to fight it out?"
Gongsun Ce made a gesture of invitation, and Caldesia on the side replied with a smile: "When you first awaken to your superpowers, you often lose control of your emotions. At this time, blindly suppressing them will only make the outburst more intense! It's like you are angry. When someone suddenly comes to you and asks you to control your emotions - of course, you will feel even more upset, right?"
Gongsun Ce took over: "However, if someone hands you a punching bag and encourages you to punch you when you are angry, then the vented emotions can naturally be controlled. In other words..."
"It's better to block it than to open it up?"
"Exactly." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "Don't worry, Cao Hong has defrauded you of your money. It's fair to be frightened like this. From every angle, you are responsible for this matter."
Qin Qianbai nodded, carefully recalling the scene when Fang Qian swung the hammer down. With the keen insight unique to a warrior, she could clearly see the scene underground. At that moment, she saw the broom head holding a wooden box, a leg kicking the wooden box away... and a man standing in the corner of the basement with a shocked expression.
"The man in white clothes I met yesterday is also standing underground today." Qin Qianbai said with confidence, "He changed his clothes, but I remember his face."
Caldesia said irritably: "Light core?"
It's hard to have a second answer. That bastard Aurus was most likely plotting something else, but he was too lazy to care and didn't want to care.
"Gongsun Ce, are those really fireworks?" Qin Qianbai asked again.
It seems that although this guy has no evidence, he still discovered something fishy by intuition.
"That thing definitely wasn't a firework before, but it is a firework now because someone said it was a firework."
Gongsun Ce responded with a string of tongue-twisting replies, and was satisfied to see that the girl fell into a state of confusion as to whether she understood or not.
Chi Zijing led the members to retreat a few minutes ago, shouting. Even if something goes wrong in his own mutual aid club, this guy would just put it aside and pretend not to see it, and only come to deal with it when the incident is about to get bigger. This really leaves people speechless. When a person combines the three characteristics of being extremely strong, lazy by nature, and extremely thick-skinned, no one can do anything to him.
Gongsun Ce raised his hand and took the lead: "Let's go, the trading market here is dead, let's go and have a look elsewhere..."
The superpower squinted his eyes, and as expected, he saw a group of men in black blocking the school gate, and the blue-haired man at the head was grinning ferociously at him.
"Wait until these little troubles are solved."
He patted Qin Qianbai's head and signaled the girl not to act rashly, then walked forward alone and gave a warm greeting to the Wings of Death.
"Isn't this, Brother Badman of Death Wings! I had a great time with my friends just now, and we had a great performance on the basketball court. We are all members of society and yet so full of childlike innocence, why don't we come and play Just play?"
"Go away, clown." Badman took off his sunglasses, "Personal grudges have nothing to do with you."
"This is not okay! Mr. Gongsun, I have always been a good partner of beautiful girls and weaklings. How can I watch you leading a bunch of crazy people to do whatever they want?"
Gongsun Ce walked forward with a smile and pretended to take out a set of white playing cards from his pocket. While shuffling the cards, he said with a relaxed face: "If you want to play games, you can play with me. I'm professional in this matter. If you win, I won't stand in your way. If you lose..."
The Taoist chef smiled kindly and said slowly: "I am short of stuffing when making steamed buns. I wonder how many hands and feet you want to keep?"
Gudong. The flat-headed ranger swallowed and made a loud sound.
Caldesia shouted at the top of her lungs: "Stop it! You are scarier than the underworld now, do you know that?"
"***I'm kidding, how can I cut off my arms and legs?" Gongsun Ce said innocently, "I usually cut on the stomach, and the intestines and internal organs flow out. The scene is very shocking, and I usually cut off someone else. Running away saves time and effort."
Several of the old team members of Death Wing looked bad, and the calves of the new members at the back were already starting to tremble.
Looking at the whole city, there are not many people who dare to deal with Jiyan Daohua, and this is the reason. You have no idea which of his words are true and which are false, let alone whether he will act accordingly. Normally, this guy is still managed by heroes, but now that Mo Yuankai has retired, who else can control him?
Gongsun Ce and Kardesia sang together, which almost made the gangsters lose their fighting spirit. Only Badman remained unmoved. He slammed the huge hammer head on the ground and shouted: "Don't bluff, I'm here to settle the scores of people's lives!"
Gongsun Ce was surprised and said: "How can you say this? The ratio of men to women in your organization has reached an astonishing 19:1. Even if I am very charming, it is difficult for me to seduce anyone. How can I cause death?"
Badman was so angry that he laughed: "You rabid dog, you don't even have the face? I'm talking about the woman behind you! Last night, the organization lost three good players in a row, and a newcomer. The last person the newcomer met was that bitch. Yes. She doesn’t know whether she is alive or dead, so who else can I ask if I don’t ask her?!”
The yellow-haired gunman stood at the front despite the pressure and sang with a red face: "Taoist, it's really not my second brother who is picking on you. I was in the same team with Kova last night, and that lady went on a killing spree...ah, bah, big Killing everyone... ah, many people saw how they beat us up anyway. My brother is missing, we have to show some kind of expression, right?"
Huang Mao's tone was cold: "...otherwise, the boss won't be able to survive on the road."
Three good players and one newcomer all disappeared overnight. Gongsun Ce suddenly remembered the scene where he first met the girl last night. The alley was like a slaughterhouse, with a huge amount of blood and scattered limbs, and the isolated girl holding a knife...
Gongsun Ce turned his head and met Qin Qianbai's eyes.
"I didn't kill anyone."
The expressionless girl said solemnly.
Gongsun Ce was convinced of the authenticity of this statement. Not only because of his reasoning last night, but also because he knew the girl's character and knew that she would never lie in a place like this.
"You also heard that my friend said she didn't kill anyone!" After saying this, Gongsun Ce changed the subject, "But I guess you don't believe it without evidence. Why don't you explain the whole thing clearly here and sort out all the details? It’s clean and I’ll save you guys from pursuing it further, what do you think?”
Badman laughed loudly: "What nonsense? Do you think you are a detective?"
"You are definitely not qualified to call yourself a famous detective, but you can do some basic reasoning, and I'm afraid my brain is much smarter than you guys." Gongsun Ce sneered, "It's better to say how can you do it? If you can't frame up the blame, you have to use strong arguments and prepare. Is there a war?"
Caldesia made two balls of fire in cooperation, with an expression of eagerness to try.
Badman spat, knowing that he had no chance of winning, so he slapped his yellow hair and said, "Tell him what happened!"
Huang Mao shrank his head forward, rolled his eyes, and said loudly: "Last night, I led the guys to finish the tooth ceremony and wander around the thorn area. Just after eating, we also had a fight with the second brother We met, right in front of the hotel, a group of six people were acting in a group, everyone can testify to this."
"What time is it exactly?" Gongsun Ce asked, "By the way, what is your name, Ah Huang?"
Huang Mao shrank his neck, as if he was being interrogated, and said with a crooked mouth: "My name is Huang Qi. It was almost half past seven after we finished dinner. After that, the buddies went shopping on the commercial street for a while, and it was almost eight o'clock I met the woman after ten minutes..."
Qin Qianbai glared coldly, and Huang Qi immediately changed his words: "Ah, no, this lady!"
"Did you meet anyone worth mentioning during this period?" Gongsun Ce asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"No." Huang Qi said, "Gongsun Ce, you also know the character of your friend. She just beat up the brothers - oops!"
Qin Qianbai casually threw a hidden weapon made of hardened air, beating Huang Qi until he was dizzy, and said coldly: "Lie!"
Huang Qi raised his hands and confessed: "I admit that it was the brothers who went to strike up a conversation first... but I guarantee that I just walked up and talked to her and she started..."
Badman's face was very ugly, and he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Did you provoke me first? Huh?!"
Huang Qi's face was as green as a biochemical gorilla's butt.
"This is really your own fault!" Gongsun Ce laughed, "All six of you were killed by the eldest lady alone. What happens next?"
"We fought for about ten minutes, and they all fell down. Kova was so scared that he pissed his shit, and he used his power to run away." Huang Mao was dejected, "That was the last time we saw him... After we finally got up, we immediately separated to look for him. But no one was found. The person behind you was chasing Kova, so we can only suspect her."
The encounter took place after eight o'clock, and the battle lasted for about ten minutes. It was conservatively estimated that the battle would end at almost half past eight.
Yesterday, he met Qin Qianbai around 8:50. This time can be inferred from the time he returned home. Looking at it impersonally, this amount of time is enough for the eldest lady to find and kill the newcomer, but...
"You understand after saying these words yourself, the eldest lady has no motive to kill. She will never leave you main force alone and kill a coward who escaped temporarily, right?"
Badman didn't give in, and he didn't give Qin Qianbai any face: "Don't do this! Since when do you need a reason for killing? That woman's condition is on the verge of going berserk. It's not surprising that she does anything!"
Impulsive killing is indeed very common, and for people with superpowers who are in poor condition, this is an even more reasonable explanation.
Gongsun Ce did not say this out loud. He asked a few more questions: "What abilities does the missing Kova have? What characteristics does he have, such as conspicuous clothes or accessories? What does he look like?"
The yellow-haired gangster rummaged through his phone for a long time and found a photo of himself and the long-haired guy.
"This is Kova. His ability is the ability to escape from the earth. He can burrow into the ground and run away without a trace." Huang Mao said, "The characteristic...the characteristic is...that's right! Kova bought a pair that night. New earrings. They have a special shape, are big, and are very eye-catching."
Gongsun Ce immediately thought of the things he picked up at the scene last night, but felt something was wrong.
He immediately made an "X" with white matter behind his back, reminding Qin Qianbai to keep quiet. The girl hesitated to speak, but at least she held back her words.
Caldesia watched all this and asked curiously: "Um...what's the use of these questions?"
"Maybe it has no meaning, maybe it has a lot of meaning." Gongsun Ce was thoughtful, and suddenly asked about another unrelated topic, "You also have three missing old team members? Tell me who they are, and I might know Seen it before."
This time Badman spoke directly. He stared at Gongsun Ce, looking extremely serious.
"Ishtar
, Zong Qi, Hatem, you have seen them all, they are all veterans. Badman growled, "This matter is more important than the newcomers! Do you have any clues?"
Gongsun Ce dug through the memories in his mind and found out that he had indeed met these old members and they had fought against each other several times in the past in the Sky Capital.
Gongsun Ce immediately tapped the cell phone in his pocket with his telekinesis and blindly typed a message asking his elder brother to check the file. After that, he carefully recalled the common attire of these people, focusing on their necklaces, nail polish and other features. Then, carefully, these features were put together with the scenes seen yesterday.
"... Ista is wearing black nail polish, Zong Qi has a gold chain hanging on his wrist, and Hatem... has a sapphire ring?"
Badman suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Ce by the collar.
"Where are they?!" the strong man shouted angrily.
Gongsun Ce pushed him away, adjusted his collar, and said in an almost indifferent tone.
"I can answer this simple question, but please control your attitude."
Under the cold and stern gaze of the members of the Wings of Death, Jiyan Daohua still calmly recounted the cruel reality.
"It's a pity that your companions are no longer here. Because all I saw were their mutilated limbs..."
"In the thorn area last night." Gongsun Ce said, "Where I met her."
