Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 282 - 282 38 Night Talk_2

282: Chapter 38 Night Talk_2 282: Chapter 38 Night Talk_2 Fury arose in his heart, and malice surged to the edge of his courage.

Gongsun Ce was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his seven orifices.

He ran to the bed, grabbed the quilt, and flung it aside, “Still pretending?!”

With a whoosh, the quilt was flung off, revealing someone sitting on the bed, chuckling halfway through, just as their eyes met with Gongsun Ce’s.

“Get lost, you pervert!” Shiyu Ling kicked at him.

The Superpower User hastily dodged, “You think you have the right now, huh?

Let me remind you, it’s not very decent fighting close-quarters wearing so little—and hey, no scratching!

Are you some kind of wild animal?

I’m going to fight back now!!!”

Five minutes later.

The water had boiled.

Gongsun Ce prepared both tea and coffee with gentlemanly grace for someone to choose.

Shiyu Ling chose hot water.

Within those five minutes, he had used telekinesis to twist a hot towel and had begrudgingly washed his face.

Now, Miss Shiyu had buried her whole body inside the quilt, revealing only her face and the hand holding the cup, resembling a wronged soul consumed by the quilt, making a human reappearance.

She sipped some water and muttered, “Hey, little villain.”

Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, “You can keep calling me that, but I’ll start calling you ‘crybaby’ from now on.”

“Pfft.” Shiyu Ling pouted, “So, how was that accident in real life resolved?”

That accident…

the containment ship’s telekinesis going out of control?

Gongsun Ce rubbed his hair, recalling the distant past.

“I guess you also figured out that the big brother…

Yuankai is quite formidable?”

“Hmm.”

“Just as you imagined.

Big brother resolved the situation.”

Gongsun Ce remembered someone’s heroic action ten years ago and shook his head with a smile.

“He first came over, knocked me out, and then fished up everyone who had fallen, fixing the ship in the process.”

Shiyu Ling’s eyes widened, “Wait, you’re saying he just casually did it?!”

“He could.” Gongsun Ce looked matter-of-fact, “You can imagine what happened next.

The ship turned chaotic.

The remaining superpower users either wanted to escape or lost control due to severe shock.

When I woke up, I saw Kardesia crazily throwing fireballs everywhere, the soldiers were terribly tense, and the ship was almost about to erupt into a massive brawl.”

Shiyu Ling swallowed hard.

“Then what?”

“Back then, Aorus, that idiot, took the chance to cause trouble and seemed to have been knocked out by the president of the Mutual Assistance Association,” Gongsun Ce said uncertainly, “Then the doctor also lost it.

It was quite bloody, I’ll spare the details.

The safest person back then had been the one with no subordinates…

I remember at least he managed to control his cellmate.

Back then, big brother and the president were running back and forth between the soldiers and us, trying to calm down the agitated peers and negotiate with the officials…”

“How were they supposed to calm and negotiate during such madness?!”

Gongsun Ce paused and candidly said, “Well, actually, the two of them teamed up and beat everyone up.

After everyone settled down, they went and negotiated with the officials, and that’s how the matter finally ended.”

Shiyu Ling groaned, “I can’t imagine Fat Boy and someone teaming up to fight against Dragon Species and elite troops…”

Gongsun Ce frowned, “What ‘Fat Boy’?

Watch your language!

He wasn’t like that back then!”

“Who was the president of the Mutual Assistance Association?

The one from the head’s cell?”

Gongsun Ce’s expression turned peculiar, “You didn’t see him in your dream; he was locked up with the doctor in the cell on the left, with the motto ‘Life is only tens of thousands of days, treasure each one you can touch…'”

“Do all your Empire’s Dragon Species have such personalities?”

“The most dangerous ones do,” Gongsun Ce corrected, “Only I, Mr.

Gongsun, am normal.”

“Right, right, the first to lose it, you’re the most normal,” Shiyu Ling rolled her eyes, “I really can’t fathom your mindset; with that, you still negotiated?

If I were you, I would have blasted my way out of this dump and sought revenge!”

Gongsun Ce sipped his coffee and shook his head, “Every person from the commander to the soldiers had readied their wills before boarding.

If something really went wrong, the whole ship would have been sacrificed.”

Speechless, Shiyu Ling watched as Gongsun Ce sighed, “Thinking about their circumstances, you can’t really harbor too much resentment.

Knowing we could all potentially trigger a Dragon Disaster made it easier to understand their actions at the time.

From our perspective now, the measures on the containment ship were all counterproductive, basically provoking us to lose control, but back then, everyone was inexperienced…

After the day of the self-triggered outbreak, our treatment actually improved.

We stopped wearing restraint suits, were provided enough food, and even had regular shows and professional psychological counseling.”

Actually, those restraint suits were useless for most, with containment relying entirely on the cooperation of the Superpower Users.

Shiyu Ling scoffed, “You did a great service for your kind.”

“Not bad, right?” The Superpower User shrugged, “Ten years later, I have a beautiful elder sister coming into my dreams to enlighten me, quite worth it.”

The quilt monster glanced sideways at him, “You little villain definitely have designs on me.”

“It’s you who kidnapped me, alright, it was a case of a lesser evil meeting a greater one,” Gongsun Ce recalled the scenes in the dream, unable to deny the satisfaction he felt.

He himself could never say or do those things.

Admittedly, Aorus’s speeches were all sophistry, but they also contained issues he had always cared about: existence value, meaning, negative impacts, self-destruction…

Realizing them didn’t mean they disappeared; thoughts formed knots in his heart.

Even if continually engaged in helping others, accepting one’s own existence remained difficult.
