Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 249 - 249 18 Crush You Flat

249: Chapter 18 Crush You Flat 249: Chapter 18 Crush You Flat Early morning, inside Huangquan Shrine, a double room.

After getting up, Gongsun Ce checked the time, 7:00.

He woke up early and didn’t feel the fatigue that usually followed a lack of rest, a small “privilege” granted after activating the Spirit Light.

He wondered if, after reaching a higher Realm, he would no longer need sleep.

The feeling of being non-human would become stronger, but as a Superpower User, he had already grown accustomed to it.

Gongsun Ce thought that Shiyu Ling, in the Manifestation Realm, probably woke up even earlier than he did.

He glanced cautiously towards the adjacent bed…

“…”

The dark-haired mature woman was hugging a pillow, sound asleep.

Her sleeping face was tranquil and soft, betraying none of her typically aggressive and villainous traits.

For a moment, he thought of taking a few photos with his phone as leverage.

Hold back, Gongsun Ce, don’t let personal grudges drive you to such a perverted act!

Not to mention the Dawn Knight, even your older brother would scold you!

The Superpower User cleared his throat: “Ahem!

Miss Alice, it’s time to get up.”

Shiyu Ling burrowed her head further into the covers and mumbled unclearly after a while.

“I want to sleep.”

“Hey.”

Shiyu Ling became more stubborn, burying her entire head into the covers.

“It’s so noisy…

this is an order…

shut up…”

The Superpower User looked at the creature under the covers with a Buddha-like gaze, speaking with the tone of an old monk: “I am Gongsun Ce.”

Ten seconds later, a complexly nuanced “-Ah!” came from under the blanket, followed by the person in bed springing up as if subjected to a Spiritual Attack.

With her hair in disarray, she pointed at the young man on the neighboring bed, her eyes filled with confusion, irritation, and unspoken embarrassment.

“You—”

The Superpower User pinch-hit her languid tone perfectly, imitating: “…

I want to sleep.”

The white pillow rapidly enlarged in view, accompanied by someone’s scream.

“I’ll kill you!”

·

Half an hour later.

Omelette rolls, pickled side dishes, miso soup, natto, salmon, rice…

The breakfast provided by the shrine looked bland but tasted excellent, even the picky Miss praised it.

However, the two people sitting across the table looked unhappy, Miss Alice holding her chopsticks as if she had a deep grudge with the salmon, and Gongsun Ce stirred his miso soup as if it were a mission target.

“Did you guys have a fight?” Rina across the table couldn’t help but ask.

“No.” “No.” The simultaneous answers were followed by both of them glaring at each other, convincing Rina of her suspicion.

How could these two carry out a secret mission like this?

Rina was deeply concerned about their prospects.

“If you didn’t argue, would you listen to the plan?” Seeing her words had grabbed their attention, Rina hurriedly spoke, “This morning, you’ll blend in with the employees of Sirang Electronics and go to worship Lord of God.

You’re familiar with the usual worship process, right?”

In Zero Island, the shrine’s worship followed an ancient procedure.

First, wash both hands and mouth at the hand water house, which is called purification; then, stand in the center in front of the worship hall, facing the money box and bell, as well as the Holy Boomerang.

The Boomerang, colloquially known as a boomerang, holds significant religious significance locally on Zero Island.

Typically, civilians need to ring the bell with the Boomerang after putting money in, and then proceed to bow twice, clap twice, and bow once more.

Because of the difficulty in handling the Boomerang, only formal shrine personnel are allowed to throw it to ring the bell.

The chance of mishandling by general worshippers is nearly 100%, and is considered a serious impropriety!

“I’ll follow the rules properly and won’t throw the Boomerang carelessly,” Gongsun Ce earnestly said.

“Mm-hmm, that’s good.” Rina smiled with narrowed eyes, “First worship the Lord of God, then grandma can pray for you.

If everything goes smoothly, you’ll follow Sirang Electronics’ employees back to Dahe Island.

If today doesn’t work out, we’ll wait until tomorrow…”

Rina whispered softly, “Mr.

Gongsun, grandma said you are especially unlucky today.

The chance of a successful prayer today is not high, be mentally prepared.”

Luck, always the luck.

“Can’t we act if the luck is bad?”

“When the luck is bad, whatever you do will bring even worse results, it’s best to do nothing at all.”

Gongsun Ce didn’t say any more, but Shiyu Ling asked: “Which God is worshiped at Huangquan Shrine?”

“Of course, it’s the Lord Huojin,” Rina clasped her hands, “and Lord Yidou Nengmai who returned from Huangquan.”

Gongsun Ce’s heart stirred, remembering the grey robe in the woods last night.

“Everyone gather!

Time to worship, everyone present?” Kobashi Fumiaki, holding a list and checking off his subordinates one by one, announced.

Kobashi Fumiaki was a department manager at Sirang Electronics Society, and through dedication, competence, and occasionally gritting his teeth and offering modest bribes to his superiors, he managed to secure this tiring and tough position.
