Chapter 486 What Happened at Dusk

"Angta Baga?"

A long-lost sharp female voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, and Mikael unconsciously frowned and moved the phone away from his ear.

"You can go directly with the power of the sky, but you insist on taking a plane? Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you insist on leading things in a troublesome direction?"

"Uh uh... Actually, it's not a big problem. I have already used the power of erosion to forge my identity. I have also dealt with all the surveillance I encountered along the way. The people I met have modified their memories with the power of consciousness. There is absolutely no problem!"

The storm on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped... It only stopped for two or three seconds, and the female voice became low and calm again:

"So, you would rather go to great lengths and continuously use two powers than use the power of the sky to teleport to Tiankong City all at once? What kind of touching idea is this?"

Mikael scratched his cheek lightly and pulled the phone back a little.

"Don't say that, Mobius. The main thing is, when I think about it carefully, I seem to have never taken a flight. The only time I took a passenger plane was when I went to inspect North America with Mei... That time was just a small private plane. Just consider it as satisfying my curiosity, okay."

"I'm really impressed. If you had used the power of the void to teleport directly, you could have found the Second Herrscher and the kitten as soon as the gray snake passed back the information. You are not..."

"Ah, I say, Mobius."

"Huh?"

"Your temper seems to be regressing to the sign of 50,000 years ago. This is not good... Well, is it because the Shesha super-mutation factor has slowed down the metabolic rate to one thousandth of the original human? By this calculation, you are probably more..."

"Get lost! What's wrong with you!"

Feeling that the call was actively hung up by "the other side", the playful expression on Mikael's face disappeared slowly but quickly like a receding tide.

The five fingers holding the phone tightened, and the wrist raised, as if he wanted to throw the phone up and catch it, but at the last moment, Mikael finally gave up the idea. As his wrist fell, he put the phone into his trouser pocket.

What Mebius said was right, but that was based on Mikael's purpose of catching Kiana. Obviously, Mikael's purpose was not like that.

If he simply wanted to catch Kiana, he would not let her escape at the headquarters of the destiny. Could it be that Hua's consciousness, which was carried by Yu Duchen's feather, could hold him back for a second?

I think too much, how could it be possible.

Besides, it's not difficult to understand, right? He didn't want to control any Herrscher from the beginning. From a long-term perspective, what he wanted to do was actually similar to Otto...

Since he wanted them to kill him, then before that, of course, he had to let them have the power to kill him first.

By the way, he could also catch some people who shouldn't exist in this era and catch them all in one fell swoop, just like the time at the headquarters.

Mebius probably hung up the phone in anger because he figured this out.

Probably.

But it was a bit unfortunate that he hung up the phone. The words of advice and concern were stuck in his throat and he didn't have a chance to say them.

"Eh... so troublesome."

As if he remembered some unpleasant memories, Mikael sniffed lightly and blinked twice quickly. His originally blurry vision became much clearer. The unique smell of mothballs and excrement mixed with the toilet rushed into his nose, and people's consciousness was also a little trance at that moment.

He waved his hand, as if to drive away the annoying flies, and the soundproof barrier covering the toilet cubicle also dissipated silently.

Turning the latch on the door, Mikael squeezed out of the men's toilet with the crowded flow of people, but suddenly turned around and squeezed back near the door, and quickly walked to the sink to wash his hands with water.

Although he was just hiding in the cubicle to talk to Mobius on the phone, he went to the toilet and did something like this... uh... uh...

The crowd was still so crowded that it made people feel hot. As one of the largest cities in the Shenzhou region, the Tianqiong City International Airport certainly would not disappoint people with its flow of people - provided that someone had expectations for it.

All he could see were black heads that kept rising and falling. This was the so-called surging crowd, but fortunately, Mikael's hair color was more conspicuous among the crowd, and of course his clothes were also - perhaps ten or twenty years earlier, there would be more people wearing a full set of black British suits and navy blue ties at the airport, but in this era, such formal attire is rare, and there are people wearing suits, but more of them are brightly colored and casual Italian suits, and ties can be worn or not, or normal people will not wear this thing for comfort.

After all, flights have evolved from a means of transportation mainly for business purposes to a point where most of them are ordinary tourists. Even people traveling for business probably would put their formal clothes in their luggage for the convenience of fitting in, and wear casual clothes instead.

Why would I think about this... Mikael scratched his head, always feeling that he had made a step forward in some aspects. If I cut my brain along the line of my brow bone, I wonder if I can use the power of death to grow another brain out of my brain...

He quickly patted his head, feeling the brain swaying in his skull, and he pulled his thoughts back.

Ah, yes - he traced his escaped consciousness in his mind - he thought about whether he could grow another brain because he scratched his head. He scratched his head because he was wondering why he would sink his mind into thinking about wearing a suit so conspicuously. When he first thought of Why is it more conspicuous in a suit...

Oh, yes.

The girl he brought was dressed exactly like him, which meant that she was equally conspicuous in the crowds of people coming and going.

Mikael sighed softly and glanced across the countless heads. Coupled with the vague location in his memory, it didn't take much... it did take some effort to find the girl's location again.

After pushing aside the crowd and walking up to him, Mikael exhaled through his nose and asked calmly to the girl who had her arms folded on her chest, her head lowered and her back leaning against the wall:

"Why don't you take the opportunity to escape?"

The girl seemed to have fallen asleep. It was not until more than ten seconds after the question was asked that she opened her purple eyes as if she had just woken up from a dream, and raised her chin upwards. But in the end, she still did not look at Mikael. He just From top to bottom, you can see the girl's pale lips opening and closing quickly twice:

"It's useless even if you run."

Unlike her, Mikael's answer was timely:

"No, you think too highly of me. In a place with such a large flow of people, it would be difficult for me to find you if you got lost among the crowd. After all, you cannot exercise your power without scruples in such a public place..."

"It's more difficult. In other words, even if I run away, it will be nothing more than a little trouble for you. You can't exercise your power without scruples here, but you can just change it to another place. I will just be caught again. live."

"hehe."

Mikael didn't know whether he didn't want to answer or was speechless, so he just laughed twice.

The one who was uncharacteristically different was Mei. After exchanging so many words, she finally raised her head and looked at Mikael, but there was no dependence in her eyes anymore, only sadness, ridicule, pity and hatred.

"Mikael, you seem to be expecting me to take advantage of the opportunity just now to escape. Why?"

Mikael did not answer because he knew that this question should not be answered by him, nor did he need to answer it.

"I understand. You expect me to escape, so that you can watch the prey you have obtained run away before your eyes, and sincerely raise your hope for escaping to heaven, and then you will directly break this hope—— This whole process, including the reason why you chose to bring me here, is probably just to give you some fun out of boredom. "

"What about you?"

Mikael didn't care about Mei Yi's rebuttal and sarcasm. He put his hands into his trouser pockets and locked his pink pupils on Mei Yi without any hostility.

"Because I know there's no point in running away, I do nothing... The reason why you don't run away is not as simple as you said. When people are forced to do so, they will frantically fight for even a slim chance of survival, just like drinking poison to quench thirst. Even though you know it's poison, you still have to drink it when you're too thirsty... You're indifferent to it, Is it because I don’t feel oppressed enough? Or... it’s really useless to escape, but how can you know if you don’t try, and how can you be willing to do it? What you are really afraid of is not being caught again or doing useless work, right? It’s just that I’m just afraid that the process of touching hope and then having it shattered is exactly the same as what I did to you in the past three years.”

Mei Yi's shoulders trembled, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and the hem of her tie swayed back and forth.

After all, she couldn't look at Mikael again.

"When you're done talking nonsense, let's go."

Mikael handed his hand to her, but Mei did not respond.

"Language is not feeble. Among some people, or for some people, language is indeed the most powerful weapon. But those people do not include you and me. Raiden Meiyi, if you really want revenge... "

Mikael directly grabbed Mei Yi's hand, put her five fingers together into a knife, and put it against his chest.

"You have to use a knife and stab it here."

…………

Twenty minutes later, the crowd around her gradually thinned out, and Mei followed Mikael out of the airport gate.

In front of him was a four-lane asphalt road, with countless vehicles passing by. The bright red brake lights came on. After unloading the passengers with suitcases, the red lights went out in the blink of an eye as the car doors closed. She looked in the direction in which the car came. The car came up along the curve and then left through the curve at the other end. From this look, it seemed that what she was standing on should be something similar to an overpass. In any case, this was an ordinary sight, but a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Suddenly, she thought of something - before entering Saint Freya, her scope of activities was completely limited to Changkong City. This...

This was her first time taking a plane, ah no, a passenger plane.

At least, when flying in the sky, you don't have to worry about the sudden appearance of the Honkai Beast, and you don't have to pay attention to the combat orders that may be issued at any time in the communication.

Instead of jumping directly out of the delivery port from hundreds of meters high in the sky, you can walk out of the airport with your feet on the ground...

etc! She discovered another problem - why did it seem like... everyone here was entering the airport?

She quickly took two steps forward and looked back at the sign on the door.

The two big Chinese characters for "entrance" looked at her quietly, as if wondering why she came out from here.

"..."

Mei lowered her head and began to think about what Mikael meant?

Why did she have to walk out of the airport exit? Although it was indeed the first time for Mei to take a plane, and she didn't know that the exit and entrance of the airport were not necessarily the same, she was not a fool. Apart from herself and Mikael, she only saw the rest of the world. People walking into the airport carrying suitcases. She also doesn't think Mikael is a fool, so when he does this... he must have deep intentions!

But what exactly? Meiyi really can't understand.

Or was he just a pure fool who simply took the wrong path and just used his power to rush her out of the entrance?

It seemed impossible, Mikael was not such a person in her heart.

When he came back to his senses, Mikael was already three or four meters away from him. He walked into the temporarily stagnant traffic and seemed to be going to the railing on the other side of the bridge.

This is undoubtedly another opportunity, Mei understands.

No matter what, even if the person being hunted knows that it is a dead end, even if it knows that there is a bottomless cliff ten steps away, it will definitely jump off without hesitation.

So, Mei took a deep breath and took two quick steps to catch up with Mikael.

She only had to walk forward, and no matter how fast the car came, it would stop steadily on her left until she and Mikael stood side by side in front of the railing.

"call……"

"Oh……"

Two streams of white steam were neatly exhaled from their mouths, floating gently towards the sky, and then quickly dispersed into nothingness.

Mikael silently looked at the sky at 3:50 in the afternoon. In the late winter of the northern hemisphere, there was not a single cloud in the sky, but it was not clear either. Instead, it was dark and heavy above people's heads and the earth beyond. towering buildings Correspondingly, only in places that can be seen from far away, the sun setting in the west ignites a cold flame, so the sky looks like the Siberian snowfield at night, and the red sunset is like a dazzling bonfire.

It feels like this.

As if hearing some strange noise, Mei glanced to the side from the corner of her eye, only to see Mikael smiling flatly at the nascent sunset.

"Thunder and Lightning Meiyi, do you know why I brought you here?"

"I don't know. I guess I don't need to know."

Mei Yi quickly turned her head.

Does she need to know this? No. Even if you know it, what's the use?

But Mikael wanted to say that she couldn't stop it.

"It's simple, because Kiana is in the city in front of you."

Mikael whispered something that almost made Mei explode.

"what you up to!"

Mei Yi, who was so calm a few breaths ago that she was almost decadent, was extremely excited, but Mikael just raised his index finger and said "shhh" in front of his lips:

"Don't make any sound and let me watch for a while."

"?"

Mei followed Mikael's gaze to the sky in confusion, but could see nothing but a faint blush on the horizon.

"Thunder and Lightning Meiyi, do you like the sunset?"

Mikael asked questions in a confused manner.

Meiyi didn't answer.

"Did you know that human memory has a strange association? It's like if you play a song and read a novel at the same time, then when you read or think about the novel or listen to the song again in the future, In turn, I think of the other party. Dusk... I don't even like this thing. Just thinking about it carefully, those good memories of her seem to happen at dusk. So, every time I see that. Everything makes you feel very comfortable. What about you, is there such a thing between you and Kiana? "

Meiyi opened her mouth slightly and shook her head in confusion.

That probably doesn’t mean “don’t know” or “nothing.”

So when she spoke again, she asked an irrelevant question:

"So, who is she? Mebius?"

"No, it's not."

Mikael denied twice in succession under Mei Yi's surprised gaze. Then he turned his head slightly, turned one eye towards Mei Yi, raised his index finger, and pointed at his pink pupils. (End of chapter)
