221: Chapter 7 Departure Preparation_2 221: Chapter 7 Departure Preparation_2 Demon had flown far away in a flash.
He looked at the superpower user performing fancy aerial stunts in the sky and pondered that Mr.
Gongsun must be in a good mood today.
He seemed a lot more showy than before.
Fixed Wing District, a garden bungalow.
Gongsun Ce entered the home of the information dealer and cheerfully said, “Big brother, I have made progress in my cultivation…
Mo Yuankai was sitting on the couch, staring at the large screen.
His hands were tightly clasped, his round face scrunched up, with an exaggerated expression, and even a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
Anyone seeing this could imagine the information dealer’s dire situation; his mood was extremely bad…
Gongsun Ce’s mouth twitched: “Do you have a stomachache?”
Mo Yuankai leaped from the sofa as nimbly as a tightly squeezed bouncy ball.
He rushed to his younger brother and urgently said, “Ah Ce, you’re finally here!
I’m going to hide in the room; I’ll leave this video call to you!”
Mo Yuankai dashed into the bedroom with a speed that belied his build, leaving the young man with gray hair utterly confused.
He looked at the large screen and saw the shiny emblem that the information dealer often used on his multifunctional device.
Seven longswords surrounding a central cross star, the emblem of the Morton Royal Knights.
Gongsun Ce’s face immediately turned green, and he yelled, “Big brother!
A true man should be upright and honest in his actions; you should pick it up yourself!!”
Without another word, Mo Yuankai locked the bedroom with two locks: “There’s also a saying ‘Circumstances can overpower a person, one must bow their head under someone else’s roof!’ Go on!”
“It’s Orianna, not Alandia!!” Mo Yuankai shrieked, “Help a brother out!
If you don’t answer, she’s going to get angry!!”
The emblem in the center of the screen was flashing faster and faster; Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, knowing that he probably couldn’t escape this time.
He quickly made a long-brimmed hat out of white matter to wear and fashioned a white straw to bite on.
Then, using telekinesis, he pressed the remote control and accepted the call from the distant foreign land.
After a moment of flickering, the communicator’s image finally appeared on the large screen.
Gongsun Ce saw a young female knight.
She had golden hair and blue eyes, dressed in shining silver armor, with a light gold floral garland embossment in the center of her breastplate and surrounded by six winged golden patterns.
The young knight seemed no different from three years ago.
With slightly pursed lips, she showed her typical earnest demeanor, and her soft and mushy voice carried a hint of anger, which turned into surprise as soon as she spoke, “Mo…
The superpower user spun on the spot, left hand pressing the brim of his hat, right hand pointing at the screen, he enthusiastically shouted with the white straw in his mouth, “Long time no see, Miss Orianna, you look just as beautiful as ever!”
“…” Knight Orianna stared at him blankly, silent for a full two seconds.
Gongsun Ce’s preemptive strike had a huge effect.
With just one greeting, he successfully made the temperature in the room drop by 5°C, maybe even 10°C!
The female knight finally managed to respond.
Gongsun Ce struck while the iron was hot, tugging at his collar and saying, “After three years, do you feel the mature and restrained qualities in me, perceiving this carefree and handsome appeal that even I can’t hide?”
Knight Orianna wanted to force herself to say some contrary words, but she couldn’t manage it.
The golden-haired knight closed her eyes and sighed, “What are you doing…
Gongsun Ce looked out the window and said helplessly, “You know, our place has always been quite chaotic.
Today, there was another lab incident, releasing hundreds of ferocious biochemical kangaroo boxers.
Armed with superalloy multi-purpose knuckle dusters, they forced everyone on the streets to engage in cyber-dark boxing matches.
The loser must pledge to remove all cybernetics and swear to join the biochemical reform movement.
Believe me, it was quite a spectacle, one you wouldn’t want to see.
Big brother is currently fighting the eighteen-meter-tall biochemical kangaroo leader on the streets, valiantly defending our city.”
Knight Orianna was dizzy with the barrage of jumbled words, clearly overwhelmed by the information which was now well beyond a traditional Impermanence Law Enforcer’s understanding of modern technology.
Pressing a hand to her forehead with a hint of disappointment, she said, “All right, it seems I just missed it…
That’s not a big problem, but I need to explain the situation to you directly now.”
Gongsun Ce pointed to himself, “Me?
What’s this all about?”
Orianna frowned in distress and said, looking at him, “Please make sure you’re in a calm state of mind.”
“I’m very calm,” Gongsun Ce said honestly.
Orianna took a deep breath and spoke seriously.
“After a series of preliminary investigations, we suspect secret ties between the Colored Glaze Disaster that struck on February 13th and the Shiyu Research Institute on Zero Island.
The higher-ups of the sky-bound metropolis are about to dispatch a commissioner to carry out a covert investigation on Zero Island, and the person chosen as a core member of the investigation team…
Gongsun Ce took off his hat, spit out the straw, and returned to his usual self.
“Okay,” the young man with gray hair adjusted his glasses, “When do we depart?
What kind of assistance can be provided?
Is there detailed information?”
Without waiting for Orianna to speak, he firmly said, “I must go, Miss Orianna.
Some matters cannot be compromised, just as you would fight to the death to defend the country and your beliefs.”
The female knight pressed her lips tightly together.
“You might need to wield the Final Sword again.”
