At nine o'clock in the night, at the edge of the Thorny Area, dozens of impressive support groups stood behind a purple-haired maid. Among them are all tall, short, fat and thin. There are bald and strong men, short and slippery men, and even unique broom heads carrying flags and waving. They really have the aura of an unrivaled strong man. How can anyone dare to invade? !
Chen Bao stood in front of this group of powerful men, even more powerful and arrogant. She put her hands on her hips and said with an extremely confident smile: "Ha, ha, ha! With my group of loyal subordinates and the new weapons that I have worked hard and saved money to build every day, I, Chen Bao, will definitely be able to defeat You two hit it together!"
Gongsun Ce said in horror: "Wow! So powerful, so ferocious, so domineering, and such a demonic god, how can I resist it... How can we resist it! Oh my God, what awaits us next is another What kind of terrible revenge will it be?"
Chen Bao ripped off the bow on his head, held it tightly in his hand, and said grimly: "Heh...hehehe...I have tailor-made a special revenge plan for each of you. I want to make it happen." You fully understand my pain!
First up is you, doctor. If you lose this duel, you can wear a maid outfit to get off work every day from now on! "
Hiss! The sound of gasping for air kept resounding, and everyone in the mutual aid association was trembling. The revenge of the leader of the Dust Explosion is so ferocious, so violent...so fucking terrifying!
And how would the doctor reply to her?
The doctor turned around on the spot, her back facing Chen Bao who was talking nonsense, and said to the demon:
"Let's go back."
"That's right." Gongsun Ce nodded, "If there's nothing important, I'll go back and rest. Goodbye, everyone."
"You two, stop! Do you want to run away?!"
Gongsun Ce said listlessly: "Rather than running away, it's better to say that I don't want to fight... Can you change the way of revenge? How about a tabletop game or a fighting game?"
Dust Boom screamed: "Now that things have come to this point, you still think you have a choice?! I'm going to—"
Gongsun Ce gave a friendly reminder: "It's late at night in a public place. Do you really plan to start a fight here? Miss Yun, you are no longer an official. If you smash something, you have to pay for it. The bill makes me feel terrible just thinking about it. ah."
Chen Bao's face suddenly turned green. The fear of losing money and the desire for revenge clearly made her extremely conflicted.
Gongsun Ce winked, and everyone in the Mutual Aid Association winked in unison. They swarmed up and stopped in front of the cadre excitedly: "Xiaoyun, think twice!" "Sister Chenbao, calm down. That's a big sum of money!" "If it really breaks down, we will have to secretly embezzle the president's money." With my personal money, not only will the president have to eat instant noodles for several months, but you will also have to work in a maid cafe again!!"
Then I had to ask Chen Bao which store he usually worked in.
Next time I have time, I will take everyone with me to help with her business. Chen Bao will definitely be very happy.
Chen Bao was so angry that he stomped on the spot: "I managed to fish this woman out and you want me to give up?!"
An old member with a hairstyle that resembled a five-pointed star walked out of the crowd and persuaded with reason: "Both doctors and demons are unwilling to start a war together, which means they are afraid of your amazing strength! The smoke has not yet risen. , the result has been determined, if you can defeat the enemy without fighting, isn’t it an unprecedented victory for you?”
Chen Bao was stunned: "This..."
A broom leader in the crowd ordered: "Quick! Send a battle report on the forum and say that Xiaoyun fought one against two. He was extremely brave and defeated two super powerful opponents!"
What followed was a series of compliments without repetition, such as "astonishing wisdom", "unparalleled ambition", "incomparable domination" and "evil purple beast", which made Chen Bao dizzy and said in a trance: "Then, then Let’s end it this time. Remember this, my revenge has just begun!”
Gongsun Ce covered his chest and said sadly: "Please let me go. I am weak and I really can't bear your revenge!"
"Hehe, hehe, hehe. Gongsun Ce, one day, I will tie you alive on the roof of the building and let everyone see your miserable state!"
Leave behind the arrogance
After his speech, Chen Bao, who was mentally victorious, left together with the support group. Gongsun Ce shrugged and said, "She is really brand new, huh?"
"From a child to an idiot." The doctor said without mercy, "I wasted a night."
"At least you can relax. You see, there is no real threat staring at you... You have always been a good doctor, but your fees are a bit high."
"I go first."
"Shall I take you back?"
"No need."
Gongsun Ce stood under the light and watched the doctor's back walking into the darkness. He pushed up his glasses and shouted, "If anything happens, remember to call me! You know, this place has always been my territory!"
The doctor turned to look at him and smiled rarely.
"...As childish as a junior high school student."
Zhenfan walked away alone, and Gongsun Ce stood under the street lamp. He didn't wait long before a broom-head in purple clothes ran over from afar, apologized to him and said, "I've caused you trouble!"
"It's not a big deal." Gongsun Ce smiled, "I didn't expect you were here, Boss Cao."
"Hi, I brought this girl into the mutual aid association." Cao Xin pulled out a flash of lightning at his fingertips. "At that time, a few of us were out shopping. When we turned around, we saw a girl with purple hair squatting on the roadside crying."
"I'm blindly guessing that a part-time worker has been wronged?"
Cao Xin said in a weird tone: "That means when I was working as a waiter, I met a...snarky gray-haired evil customer!"
Gongsun Ce remembered the last time he went out with Qin Qianbai and laughed dumbly: "No, I just ordered a dish!"
"You know her temper. No big deal is as big as the grievance she has suffered." Cao Xin curled his lips, "Later, we had more contact with her, and we gradually understood this child's character. She is quite simple. , is particularly susceptible to the influence of the environment, and she will be happy if everyone coaxes her."
Cao Xin blew out the electric sparks and squatted down on the side of the road: "Later, everyone taught her something subtly, how to get along with others, to care about other people's feelings, and not to smash things casually... It took a lot of effort to transform into Now like this, I still have to carry it!"
"She is much better than before." Gongsun Ce said sincerely, "Although she is a little stunned, she is not bad anymore."
"Actually, Xiaoyun wasn't that bad at first. She's the kind of person you've seen a lot of. A child who suddenly gets special powers and has never suffered a big loss feels like he's invincible and superior to others. What's wrong with that? She is a big shot..." Cao Xin said while laughing, "I feel very familiar when I look at her, as if I am looking at my old self."
"Have you changed your mind now?"
"Then the past things can't be written off!" Cao Xin jumped up from the ground, shook his shoulders, and bowed deeply, "I never found a chance before... Forget it, to be blunt, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed before. I just happened to meet you today and I want to say sorry to you. I couldn’t forgive you three years ago."
"It's been three years, it's over long ago." Gongsun Ce helped him up, "Will there be a garden party this summer?"
Cao Xin smoothed his hair and said energetically: "It's correct, it's necessary! I'm not responsible for any year. This year, let's come and play together when you have time!"
"Sure, I'll definitely go when the time comes!"
·
Gongsun Ce said goodbye to Cao Xin and walked towards the next destination. He took out Ayane's note from his pocket, with a line of scrawled words written on it, instructing him to wait at the bus stop after helping Maho-chan.
Ayane didn't say which bus stop it was, but Gongsun Ce knew what she meant. He flew back to Cangshou District. There was a station a hundred meters away from the doctor's clinic, where he first met Ayane.
The little girl in red was sitting on a chair in front of the station waiting, and waved when she saw him coming. A bus arrived at just this moment, Lingyin jumped on the bus, and Gongsun Ce followed silently.
"The next stop is the North Gate of Pacatia University. Passengers heading to the central area, please get off. The next stop..."
Synthetic electronic sounds sounded in the car, and the bus drove steadily without making any noise. Except for the two of them, there was no one in the bus
There were other passengers. Gongsun Ce and Ling Yin each occupied a row of empty seats and sat facing each other.
"It came so fast, big brother." Ayane smiled sweetly, "Ayane thought it would take some time to solve it."
"It's not a problem, it's just a trivial matter. Girls' quarrels, students' anger, trivial matters that can be seen everywhere in daily life, lifted up heavily and put down gently." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "Compared to this, Why don't you stop calling me big brother? I would be embarrassed to be called that by an older person."
"Oh, my secret is exposed."
"You didn't even think about pretending. I can't imagine that the doctor would tolerate a young person calling her Xiaomaho. That's at least a name that only people of the same age can say." Gongsun Ce said to himself, "The doctor and I are here We have known each other since before the city was built, and her interpersonal relationships are very conservative. You have such a good relationship with her, and I have never seen her before. That is her friend who she met when she was on Zero Island... You are at least 23 years old. You are about 10 years old, and now you look like a primary school student. Either you have a rare disease, or you are an impermanent priest."
"Oh...oh!" Ayane looked at him back and forth, "How interesting! Even Ayane's age is right. You are so interesting!"
This is not even reasoning. It's just observational information and summary results. I couldn't see anything unusual when we first met, but now that I think about it, it was really a failure.
"Then why do you want Miss Ayane to come to me?"
Thump thump, thump thump. After the bus arrived at the stop, it paused, no one got on the bus, and then drove to the next stop. Ayane looked at the night view outside the window and asked with a smile: "You, you! Maho-chan, I often mention you! So Ayane wants to take a look, what kind of person is Maho-chan's good friend?"
"...I'm really flattered."
"Tell me, tell me! Ayane is very sensitive to emotions, don't lie." Ayane looked straight at him, "What do you think of Maho-chan?"
Gongsun Ce thought about it and felt that there was no need to lie in front of her.
"I have been under her care since a long time ago. Although the doctor is a bit venomous, he is not a bad person. To me..." Gongsun Ce was a little embarrassed, "It's like a sister with whom we have a good relationship! Now he is mature. It’s better, so I just want to help her.”
"Maturity... Maturity is not a good thing." Ayane said softly, "Human beings are no longer interesting once they grow up, and they are completely stereotyped. The same goes for Maho-chan, the former She was an interesting child, but now she has become boring, soft-hearted, fragile, timid, and cowardly."
"Boring little Maho needs many, many friends! Otherwise, she is so fragile that she cannot survive on her own. However, Ayane is usually very busy and does not have that much time to come to the sky to play with little Maho. So. Ayane is always worried."
Gongsun Ce understood what she meant.
"Don't worry, Miss Ayane. The doctor actually has a lot of friends, and we are all happy to help her. Besides, she is already old enough to take care of herself."
"Haha! That's great, it's so reassuring! You're the younger brother, right? Then I'll call you Xiaoce!"
Gongsun Ce replied awkwardly: "If possible, I would still like to be called by my full name..."
Why do you call me the same as senior sister? Do you Lingdao girls like this?
"Xiao Ce, you are a reliable person, you have to take good care of Xiao Maho!"
Ayane jumped off the seat and stood alone by the back door.
"Everything I wanted to do has been done, Ayane can rest assured. See you next time, I'm leaving!"
Why do you even change your self-identity? Even from the perspective of an Impermanence user, Ayane can be called a weirdo.
"Goodbye, Ayane-san."
When another stop arrived, Ayane jumped off the bus and walked away on her own. Gongsun Ce didn't chase her. He didn't sense any malice in the girl, nor did he see any disguise.
Although Ayane behaves strangely, she does care about the doctor. She said that doctors have become boring, but she and the doctor probably broke up ten years ago. current
How could the doctor and the "Maho-chan" she was familiar with be the same person?
People will always grow, and as Qiluo said, growth means change. Chen Biao, who fought not long ago, has changed, Cao Xin, who fought three years ago, has changed, and he himself is also seeking change.
But what about others? Bonehead, Badman, Aurus... will they also change? Gongsun Ce recalled what happened not long ago. He originally thought that Chen Bao would join the Light Core, but unexpectedly, Orus did not recruit her... That person also gave up his ambition, or was he planning something else...
"No reason."
Gongsun Ce thought about it and couldn't find a reason for another dispute. Everything seemed normal. Ayane's meeting with him now seems to be to see the doctor's friend's background first; Orus and Badman's meeting with him not long ago now seems like a chance encounter. If I really want to say that the strangest thing is the singer...that is, he is a strange person...
Gongsun Ce stopped his thoughts very naturally and turned his thoughts in other directions. He obviously handed over the CD donated by that person to Mr. Shiyu for investigation at noon today, but at this moment, Gongsun Ce didn't even have any memory of this matter.
·
Same time, Central District, Veritas Institute of Technology.
Badman Ives sat at the bar of the "Dark Blue Bubble" bar and drunkenly raised his glass: "One more drink!"
The bartender wasn't at the bar, he was on the stage playing the guitar for fun. Shi Yulin shook his long hair on Wuyi and screamed: "No~~~! You have no right to order me!!"
"You idiot, please pass me the bottle."
"By the way, please help me and say please!" Shiyu Linwu threw a bottle of whiskey, Badman twisted off the thick bottom of the bottle like a bottle cap, and put the glass shards mixed with the liquor into his mouth.
"Ha!" The predator fell down on the table, making the wine cabinet rattle. But no one cared. There were only two of them in this bar built on the westernmost side of the university. Two members of the Light Core were guarding the door and refused entry to all customers.
Shiyu Linwu impromptu sang a mocking ditty: "Look at this blue-haired brawny man. His head looks like a stupid bear on alcohol. All his fighting spirit has been lost. All he has left is an empty skin! Yeah! Only an empty body is left. Skin!"
"Stop singing your crappy songs and have a drink with me."
"When I was in the band, my boys used to drink and party all night long. We would sing loudly in the company of the oiran, and use metal bats and percussion instruments to make drinks!" Shigureingo held up his guitar, "Then one day the boys I drank too much, so I went to the hospital and rescued five of them at once. The Fujin God opened his eyes to save five lives, but the Fujin God closed his eyes and had three broken throats. From then on, I will not touch any alcohol, not even a drop."
"You are a good boss. My old boss was like this too. He never let me drink more." Badman said drunkenly, "No one cares about me now...I can drink as much as I want! Hahahahaha!"
The looters went crazy with alcohol, knocking over all the bottles and cans, and all kinds of liquor spilled on the floor. He grabbed a wine bottle and smashed Shiguringo's instrument, making the black metal musician furious. The two of them were fighting in the bar, and the sound of broken bottles was mixed with their dirty words.
The two members of the Light Core standing guard outside the door were not surprised and started talking to each other again. One person ran outside to ask for help, while the other frowned and stood at his post, standing far away from the door.
Inside the bar, Badman's eyes suddenly became clear. While making noise with a broken wine bottle, he asked in a low voice: "It's been more than a month, where is your back-up?"
"Have you forgotten that I was brainwashed?" Shiyu Linwu whispered, "I made arrangements, I make arrangements every day...but damn, my superpowers are always activated. No one can realize my action!"
"What the hell is your shitty ability?"
"It's really shit, erasing existence." Shiguringo was dejected, "What I said about ***, what I left behind, my appearance, my songs... will all be forgotten by people without realizing it, except for what I believe My companion has been locked during the brainwashing and cannot be changed. Don’t ask, it was the creation of the World Master who washed it.”
"What about your impermanent method?" Badman came up with another idea, "You
Can't you use your impermanence method to get rid of my... this... predicament? ! "
Lin Wu looked at him like he was looking at a fool.
"Listen, buddy. You said you encountered a problem three years ago, but you didn't tell me exactly what problem you encountered, and you didn't tell me who did what to you. I'm your new friend. If it’s not roundworms in your stomach, how can I help you?!”
"Aren't you an expert?"
Lin Wu was extremely aggrieved: "Experts can't just guess the specific problem with just one sentence! I'm not my younger brother!"
"What the hell..." Badman knocked on the floor, "Forget it, what on earth does Orus want to do?"
"You want me to teach you something so obvious?" Shiyu Linwu couldn't bear it. "Have you been busy with this these past few days? Catching children everywhere!"
"That's what I can't figure out. Those are all little guys who don't even have fighting ability. They make glass beads, sweeten peppers, and quickly put together building blocks..." Badman was so angry that veins were visible on his face, "I'm so fucking It has become a laughing stock in front of the old guys! Now they say that Deathwing is gathering people to hold a circus, and the Marauder himself will be the clown!"
Shi Yulinwu said thoughtfully: "It's hard to say that you are not..."
"I'll kill you!"
When the Light Core bodyguards pushed in the door, they saw two "leader's henchmen" wrestling with each other. Both of their fists and kicks were filled with 100% true feelings, which gave the poor Light Core members a huge headache.
·
The fight continued in the bar at the foot of the mountain, but there was no sign of violence in the club at the top of the mountain.
The Calliope Hall luckily escaped the battle three years ago and continues to be one of the bases of the Light Core to this day. At the moment, Aurus Optimis is looking out the window at the night scene, listening to the reports of his loyal subordinates.
"I referred to all the underground engineering reports in the past six years, combined with some information hacked from the laboratory..." Ed put a USB flash drive on his desk, "I think this can meet part of your needs. You What you want may be in the Thorn Zone. Chief, there's only so much I can do."
"Thanks, Ed."
Aulus turned around and looked at the four visitors in the room. Ed was the last one to report, followed by Ryozo Kawai, Gao Yu and Kreya.
Three years have passed, and the members of Light Core have changed a lot. Many people left three years ago, but the four ministers of Aurus have remained the same. They have always followed their leader and demonstrated their loyalty with actions.
"Thank you, each and every one of you."
Orus sat down on the office chair and smiled gently at his old subordinates.
"In a few days, the light core will be disbanded." Aurus' tone seemed to be talking about a small matter, "I hope you can leave the Sky City."
