38: Chapter 22 The Real Target_2

38 -22 The Real Target_2

Alice’s icy severity had evaporated in less than five seconds.

Gongsun Ce nodded inwardly, thinking that she indeed suited this about-to-explode demeanor better.

“At least he didn’t spout nonsense on his own, right?

Our mission is complete, and what happens to him is now up to the officials of this city.

Maybe before long, Mr.

Takizawa will be so deeply moved by the humanitarian care of the people from the vaulted sky that he decides to fully cooperate.

It’s not bad to spare his life with such a thought in mind.”

The female Hunter sighed in distress.

“Ah…

It’s been almost four hours since the green comb-over was taken down, and no valuable new information has come through.

The likelihood of getting any information soon…”

Gongsun Ce knew what the other party was trying to say.

“I’m not some avenger, but watching humans die before my eyes still makes me uncomfortable.

You can just consider it the naive nature of a student.”

“Now you’re calling yourself a student again…

tsk tsk.”

Alice finally put away her weapon, and Gongsun Ce knew she had abandoned the idea.

Takizawa Yoshikazu sat silently on the ground, making no comment.

Gongsun Ce walked up to him, bent down, and said with a smile:

“By the way, even if you don’t say a word, we’re not clueless.

Your actions themselves have provided us with important leads.”

“…!”

Takizawa’s breathing became hurried, and Gongsun Ce knew his train of thought was correct.

“We traced the anomaly in the water flow here, which was something you did deliberately to attract our attention.

The materials that might cause the phenomena…

naturally, you would need a lot of wastewater.

And until it reaches the wastewater treatment plant, the place where you could get your materials…”

Gongsun Ce adjusted his glasses and speculated, “Of course, that would be the sewers!

It seems you’ve spent quite some time in the sewer system of this city.

The flow of the sewage is enough for you to map out the city’s terrain, which includes not just the distribution of facilities on the surface but also the general situation of the city’s underground.”

The pallid complexion on Takizawa’s face confirmed his conjecture, and Gongsun Ce happily snapped his fingers.

“But there are many major cities in the world with populations exceeding a million, and I don’t see why you’d have to target the Vaulted Sky specifically.

Unless some condition in your plan could only be met here, such as…

the city itself?” Gongsun Ce shook his finger, smiling, “I get it, I understand.

Thank you for your cooperation, Mr.

Takizawa.

Though you’ve been silent, your microexpressions have betrayed you.”

Upon hearing this, Takizawa immediately struggled and yelled at Gongsun Ce, “The giant dragon phenomenon is—”

The masked woman beside him struck like lightning before Takizawa could finish speaking, silencing him with a chop to the neck.

The pitiful scene caused cold sweat to break out on Gongsun Ce’s forehead.

The masked woman withdrew her hand, “You see, that was the Holy +10 hand chop that saved you from peril.”

“Now you’re not even bothering to come up with a proper name!”

“It’s just a basic attack, not even worth being called a technique.

The interim boss said nothing and disappeared, so I’ll take this guy into custody for official interrogation.

Is that okay with you?”

Alice’s face looked painfully sour, “That guy ran off out of the blue, and now you’re asking me…?

Is this how the Yiji Hall deals with things?”

“Who knows?

Unfortunately, I’m also a temp.”

To think you have the nerve to call yourself an expert.

Gongsun Ce mocked the person’s earlier attitude to himself as he glanced at Alice’s expression.

He was convinced that this sentence had finally made the diligent Hunter explode.

“What on earth is the Yong Guang Empire thinking?!”

“I’m not very clear on that.

Normally, it wouldn’t turn out this way, but I hope you won’t hold a bias against the Empire because of tonight’s encounter.

And then, that Superpower User over there…”

As if implying something, the masked girl looked straight at him, “We just gave you a piece of advice.”

The girl’s tone of voice wasn’t any different from before, and there were no notable precursors to her actions.

Even the always vigilant Hunter didn’t give a warning, which meant she probably hadn’t noticed either.

However, Gongsun Ce had a clear premonition in his heart.

Just as classmates who had spent a long time together could guess what the other would say next, just as close friends could predict each other’s actions, the feeling in his heart told him the truth: here and now, the masked girl was ready for combat.

Not the type of Superpowers combat where they held back, but a no-nonsense, all-out battle.

Gongsun Ce remained composed, “I gave you a response just now too.

I will continue to investigate with Miss Alice…

I’m not backing out.”

With that, the sense of urgency for the impending combat dissipated.

The masked girl, dragging the unconscious Takizawa, took a few steps and turned back to say, “Remember, you owe me a dessert.”

“Alright, alright.”

The temporary worker of the Empire left.

Alice Adar watched her back and placed a hand on Gongsun Ce’s shoulder, “Gongsun Ce, that child really is…”

“Who knows. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

I don’t pry into matters that don’t concern me.”

“So what is the goal of these Dragon fanatics?”

“What lies beneath the Vaulted Sky City?” Gongsun Ce countered, “Of course, it’s the corpse of the Dragon of the Vaulted Sky.”

Takizawa Yoshikazu remained unconscious, unable to hear these words.

This man, who had once been a researcher, was only thinking that he must do everything in his power to stop them, to not let them interfere with the leader’s plans.

This thought still hovered in his mind even while he was out cold, causing Takizawa’s face to contort in agony.

How long had passed before the man finally regained consciousness?

Takizawa realized he was in the middle of a room devoid of decorations, firmly secured to a chair, completely unable to move.

What puzzled him was that his mouth wasn’t sealed shut.

This meant that those who had imprisoned him here were not afraid of what he could say.

Takizawa guessed they might intend to use some sort of soundproofing equipment to communicate with him while ensuring their safety.

Before Takizawa could think further, the door straight ahead of him opened.

A handsome young man in a suit walked into the room.

“Takizawa Yoshikazu, a strange phase Mage of Divine Communication Realm from Zero Island, transformed into a giant dragon worshipper during the Colored Glaze Disaster in Supibia, contamination source speculated to be the Colored Glaze Disaster.

Actively operating under the guise of a freelance researcher assisting official institutions, he was employed earlier at the Shiyu Research Institute.

In that institution filled with geniuses and eccentrics, he was just an ordinary researcher, which led him to develop a gloomy and negative personality…”

Takizawa’s eyes widened in surprise as he found himself unable to speak.

The young man entering the room held a file, recounting the life of a human named Takizawa Yoshikazu, but all of this could no longer reach his ears.

Because he recognized the face of the young man in the suit, he knew who was speaking to him.

“You, you are…!”

The young man in the suit put away the file and revealed a smile to Takizawa.

“I am Shiyu Lianyi.

Long time no see, Mr.

Takizawa.”
