Chapter 601: Chapter 62: Crazy City (2)_2
·
Hummingbird Skeleton flashed through the sky above Thorn District at an alarming speed, as Cao Xinling had just activated her superpower.
Still at breakfast, she was puzzled and sowhat panicked. Why had Little Yun sent her a three-year-old code? Was she being coerced by a forr enemy?
After much thought, Cao Xinling decided to activate her superpower first. Instantly, amidst the noisy ntal activities, two particularly loud voices surged into her mind. After hearing the narration, Cao Xinling’s face turned as pale as paper.
Cao Xin erged from the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth and laughed upon seeing her, “Did you find a worm in your apple?”
Cao Xinling quickly explained the situation through lip-reading. Cannibalism. Monster. Disguised as a little girl. Red clothes. A terrifying aura like the Colored Glaze Disaster. Blood-red.
Cao Xin’s toothbrush fell to the ground. Understanding the world of Impermanence Skill, his mind went straight to a terrifying monster that perfectly fit this description.
“Damn!”
Cao Xin cursed sharply, not bothering to change clothes, he flipped out of the window, only leaving behind an instruction, “I’ll contact the intelligence departnt!”
Due to the miscalculation of one superpower user, due to another superpower user’s decision, other people started moving ahead of ti. Minor characters were insignificant, they couldn’t influence the big picture.
But they could send conspicuous warnings to the truly influential players.

Then, 10 minutes later, Gongsun Ce in Dragon Head District felt his phone vibrate.
He expected a ssage from Qiluo, but the screen instead displayed colorful text that looked like graffiti.
[I am Cao Xin, Qiluo has been attacked, communication cannot be trusted. Skeleton Dust Explosion is investigating, suspected to be the Red Mage’s doing. Be cautious.]
Qiluo attacked?
Red Mage?
Gongsun Ce was initially very confused, he couldn’t link these two terms together.
How could it be? They were in Sky City, and the Red Mage was a monster from Zero Island. Qiluo… Qiluo was just a superpower user, besides, she always had official protection, she didn’t even have front line combat abilities, how could she… How could she…
The face of the idol girl flashed through his mind, followed by the dreadful laugh of the Red Mage. Qiluo had turned into a red person, devoured by that world, eaten by that monster…
Gongsun Ce clenched his fists, feeling as if flas were burning all over his body. Anger scorched his soul, intertwined with unspeakable self-bla.
Red Mage, Zero Island… changing self-proclamation… How could he not have thought of it! He should have been more thorough in his questioning, his shaful habit had made him miss another crucial opportunity!
“Sothing’s wrong.”
Without bothering to explain further, he grabbed the doctor and Desia, accelerating with telekinesis to fly outwards. Now was not the ti to let friends act alone, because if that suspicion turned out to be true, escaping would beco a senseless act of folly.
“Gongsun Ce?!” The doctor exclaid, having just woken from a dream.
“Doctor, tell what mind phase Ayane is practicing! Is it the Void Phase? Is it related to the sun?”
The doctor was stunned, still distracted by the content of her dreams, she answered instinctively, “It’s the Void Phase… modeled on Mahavairocana, to realize a group support skill… you…”
The ominous speculation was confird. There was nothing worse than this fact. Gongsun Ce cursed, “Of course, degradation is also a form of salvation, so He said it was better than suffering in Zero Island…!”
Amidst his words, the three of them were already flying in the air. Desia, still groggy from sleep, asked, “What are you talking about? Who are we fighting?”
“The Red Mage likely joined forces with the conspirators of late February, Qiluo has been attacked!”
“Qiluo?! Why?! She—”
“She’s still alive!” Gongsun Ce shouted loudly, as if convincing himself, but fear gripped his heart like skeletal claws, making it difficult for him to remain calm, “She must still be alive!! I—”
“Calm down, Gongsun Ce.” The doctor grasped his shoulders, “Panic won’t help.”
Gongsun Ce forced himself to calm down, telling himself he must think clearly.
“Their first target is Qiluo, to paralyze communication, making it easier for them to exploit information differences to defeat us one by one. Their next target…” Gongsun Ce gradually clarified his thoughts, “is Mr. Shiyu! Now Mr. Shiyu’s ntal empathy is the most reliable thod of communication, and his Curse Scale can accomplish too much. If Mr. Shiyu is defeated, those of us scattered across the city won’t be able to know the hidden situations!”
“But we already know!” Desia said, surprised.
“That’s because their plan went wrong! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have known so quickly after Qiluo’s attack!” Gongsun Ce anxiously said, “Tell where Mr. Shiyu is—!”
Without any warning, Gongsun Ce suddenly changed direction, pulling two people down sharply with him. Almost at the sa ti, a three-ter-wide blue beam pierced through the spot where they had just been!
Gongsun Ce cursed as he hit the ground, recognizing the attacker imdiately.
“Budman Avis… Damn it! Aorus is involved too!”
The blue-haired thug stood in the mountain path of the Cangshou District, his face now hideously transford. The pillager stepped forward with a bitter smile, swinging his fist as if torturing soone.
“Sorry about this, Demon.” Budman grunted in agony, “Find a way to retreat! Don’t let the doctor stop ; she’s powerless against !”
“Alright, I’ll be your opponent.”
What t him was a burst of fire, engulfing the pillager like a volcanic eruption. Kardesia took off her hat, the red flas transforming into a lion-headed warrior behind her.
“Gongsun Ce, you know more about the Impermanence Skill than I do, take the senior student and go.” Kardesia made a calm decision, “My boyfriend is in your hands, go blow up that red bitch!”
“I leave it to you, find a way to signal Mr. Shiyu and the young lady!”
Gongsun Ce grabbed the doctor and flew up, red flas and blue light intertwining, restarting the clash of superpower users. A kind of madness enveloped the city, and everyone understood that the city was plunging into a deadly fight once more, and this ti… no one could stay out of it!

In the Thorn District, at the Mutual Assistance Association headquarters, Cao Xin issued commands anxiously.
“Is the positioning done? Has the telepathy been sent?!”
“Boss Cao, we’ve just managed to send a ssage to the Demon!” yelled a man holding a telescope, “The good news is the Demon and the doctor are together, the bad news is Budman has intercepted them!”
Budman? Why would that be, Budman’s supposed to be under Aorus… Aorus and the Red Mage?!
Cao Xin felt sick with nervousness, poking the back of the telepathy user hurriedly, “Tell the president, say…”
Squeak, the door to the headquarters opened, and a girl in red stood lonely at the doorway, smiling sweetly at Cao Xin.
Sparks flew off Cao Xin as he charged forwards, leaving his last orders to the mbers.
“The bigger picture is crucial!”
Laughter. Chewing sounds. Devouring sounds.
Monts later, the headquarters was empty.

In the Fixed Wing District, Shiyu Lianyi was oblivious to the situation. The Mutual Assistance Association’s intelligence personnel had been wiped out before they could contact him, and he had just received a text ssage from Gongsun Ce.
“A false alarm, the doctor is fine, got to practice the Divine Communication Skill again… Gongsun has been unusually diligent these days.”
Shiyu Lianyi put away his phone and walked towards the Thorn District.
Similarly, in the central district, Qin Qianbai was also unaware. She had just started her job for the day, noticing a nearby intelligence trafficker contemplating the computer screen.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Qianbai asked.
“Sothing feels a bit off,” Mo Yuankai scratched his head, “The data on the Qiluo app is a bit… how do I put it… ‘urgent.’ It’s like it’s rushed, but the content is the sa as usual, maybe she’s in a bad mood today?”
Qin Qianbai opened the anonymous board on her phone, where a thread she often followed had just been updated that morning. The post owner ntioned they bought so snacks to spend the weekend with the boy they had a crush on. She had just sarcastically comnted “（ˇωˇ)po great, raise it high.”
“Where is Qiluo now?”
“Central district,” Mo Yuankai said.
“Qiluo’s in trouble, she must be with Ah Ce,” Qin Qianbai said.
Mo Yuankai furrowed his brow. “How could that be? The officials have kept her closely guarded.”
“There might be a mole among the officials, or the enemy is so strong that the security personnel couldn’t even send a ssage,” Qin Qianbai speculated, “Which do you think it is?”
Mo Yuankai tapped on the keyboard repetitively, “You ask —it could be both… Don’t panic yet, there might not be anything wrong… go grab a knife and I’ll check the situation… what the hell?!”
Mo Yuankai slamd the table frantically, speaking anxiously, “What the hell is going on in Cangshou District?! There’s trouble underground!”
