Chapter 554 The Source of Confidence
It has been two years since Sephiroth was defeated, and the warriors of the past have gone their separate ways to work on their lives.
Midgar, the city of steel, was the headquarters of Shinra in the past. It was built on a wasteland, but because it has a rich fountain of life, the Mako reactor draws energy from the planet, making this city the most prosperous place on the planet.
Of course, since this was the headquarters of the villain organization Shinra Corporation in the past, the city was also severely damaged in the war two years ago, and the reconstruction work is still in progress.
Claude, a yellow-haired boy, and his childhood sweetheart Tifa continue to run the Seventh Heaven bar in this city. Tifa is the poster girl, and Claude is the takeaway boy. There is also Marin, the adopted daughter of a former comrade, and Denzel, who has star mark syndrome, who was picked up by Claude.
It is in this city full of stories and memories that Claude, a melancholy little handsome boy, rides his handsome motorcycle to deliver goods every day.
In this peaceful day, the warriors who saved the world in the past slowly **.
Until today, three strange guys suddenly appeared in front of Claude and summoned magical beasts to attack him.
Of course, these three strange guys do not refer to Duran and his three companions, but to the other three handsome silver-haired guys, namely the eldest with soft shoulder-length hair, Cardanjo, the second with long hair, Yaz, and the third with short hair and crying Ross.
The three were three new warriors born from the Fountain of Life polluted by Sephiroth, and they were looking for the head of Jenova that fell to the planet with a meteorite long ago. That was also the opportunity for Shinra to rise. It was the research on the alien creature Jenova that created powerful warriors and allowed Shinra to do whatever it wanted on the planet.
Now the whereabouts of Jenova's head are still missing, and it is also the target of these three handsome silver-haired guys.
"Let's go." Seeing that Claude was being hunted, Duran had no intention of helping, but took his two team members directly to Midgar.
Street 7, Seventh Heaven Bar.
Duran found this place in almost no time.
"Welcome." Goddess Tifa was behind the bar. It was as dazzling as a pearl in the dim space.
"I want the best shampoo, no, the best wine." Duran almost let it slip.
"Okay, please take a seat first." Tifa turned around briskly and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and then took out three glasses from the bar.
It seemed to be wine, but this bar used to be the base of the secret organization "Avalanche" that resisted Shinra, and now only Tifa is in charge, so it doesn't look like a qualified bar.
The wine came up, and Duran's team members all looked at Duran, but Duran ignored them and stood up, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
Obviously, the upstairs of the bar is where people live. Tifa told Duran the direction, and Duran went up alone. If he just went to the bathroom, he would not go deep into the residential area.
Of course, Duran didn't go there because he wanted to see the bathroom used by the goddess, but because he wanted to see what brand of shampoo people in this world used to keep their hair unscientifically dry and smooth in the pouring rain.
Duran also wanted to use this kind of black technology shampoo.
"Damn!" Suddenly, the crisp voice of the little loli sounded from behind Duran.
Because he came for shampoo, Duran did not close the door. Now he was studying the used shampoo in the bathroom carefully. It was normal to be considered a scumbag. Which customer would study the bar owner's shampoo in the bathroom of the bar?
Duran turned around without blushing and looked. He was not studying scumbags, so he was not afraid of being caught. It was indeed the little loli Marin. "Little sister, uncle is not a scumbag, just a scientific researcher who studies shampoo."
Of course, because Tifa was very diligent, there was no clothing left in the bathroom for Duran to study, so he could only study shampoo.
"Liar." Marin grew up with the members of Avalanche since she was a child. She inherited the bravery of her adoptive father Barrett, and of course the decisiveness and intelligence of Tifa who had always taken care of her. Duran's lies certainly could not deceive her.
"Ahahaha, don't talk nonsense, little girl. I won't admit anything without evidence. If you have evidence to prove that I am a bastard, I will admit it." Duran was trying to tease her.
But Marlene shook her phone in her hand, "I have already taken a picture of your bastard behavior."
"..."
At this time, the people downstairs had come up and surrounded them. Tifa took Marlene's phone, and there were indeed two photos of Duran holding shampoo.
Yong Haonan and Eva looked at Duran in surprise. They only knew that Duran was very strong before, but it turned out that there was such a bastard side. Isn't it just shampoo used by beautiful girls? What's so good about it.
"Ah." Tifa showed a surprised expression, but soon smiled, "This is Denzel's shampoo. Didn't we use it up yesterday?"
Marlene also made an expression of enlightenment, "Really, I remember it."
"..."Denzel is the little boy with star mark syndrome who is still sleeping.
The atmosphere is very subtle.
Duran broke the silence, "So I just wanted to see the shampoo."
"Okay, it's okay. I'm really sorry for this guest. The child is ignorant." Tifa obviously knew how to open the door to welcome guests and apologized for Marlene.
"It's okay. I'll leave you those two photos as a souvenir. Ahahaha."
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, Duran, a time traveler, went to study other people's shampoo, which seriously hit his prestige in the team.
Duran didn't explain. They would soon know how well-intentioned his elder was. For those who pretend to be handsome and cool, the importance of this great shampoo is self-evident.
Duran and the other two sat in the seventh heaven from morning to afternoon, and ordered a lot of food during the period. They found that the people coming and going outside the window were not very angry. Because of the star mark disease, everyone is now in danger. By the way, shouldn't this disease be sent to the hospital? But this world seems to have no such facilities as hospitals. So they can only rely on kind people to help, but more people choose to avoid it.
"Sorry, guests, I'm going to close the door. I have something to do." Tifa found that she couldn't contact Claude, so she was worried about him and wanted to go to the church to find him.
Claude actually has a star mark, and because he is afraid of getting in trouble, he lives alone in the church.
"We are the ones who disturbed him." Duran's goal this time was shampoo and magic crystals. The magic crystals equipped by the protagonist two years ago were all in the church. Now it was almost time to get them. "We have something to do, so we'll go first."
Payed gold, which was provided by the government, not made by Duran.
The church is also a famous classic scene. The dilapidated church, the light leaking from the roof made colorful flowers emerge from under the floor of the church. These flowers were carefully taken care of by another female supporting character in the game, the ancient species Alice, and it was also the place where Claude recalled the good old days.
"So beautiful." Eva was moved again. The flowers in the dilapidated church were so beautiful. Another crazy photo shoot.
And Duran's goal was the magic stone in the box. As long as he was equipped, he could use magic. First, equip Eva with two, one ice and one fire. He was afraid that she couldn't use too many.
"Who are you?" When they were in the bar, they felt that Duran and the other two were very suspicious because they didn't look like locals in Midgar City. Tifa didn't take it seriously. But the second meeting in the church was definitely not an accidental encounter, and they were still using magic stones. "Return the magic stones. This is not something you can control." Protect Marin, Tifa is ready to fight.
"This is acceleration, this is instant death, this is summoning..." The magic in Final Fantasy is varied. Duran equipped himself with all the magic stones. It seems that his limbs are full of crystal-like glowing colorful balls. "This is the first time to use this thing. It feels really good."
Duran stood up, "Miss Tifa, it seems that we have other guests." As he said that, he had already started the acceleration, turned into a residual shadow and passed Tifa, and stood in front of Ross.
"Where is mom? Where did you hide mom?" Ross broke into the church and asked childishly.
"Little stupid kid looking for mom, you are really stupid." Duran laughed and successfully angered Ross.
"Want to fight?" He punched Duran.
Speeding up again, Duran's movements were even faster, and he slapped his hands on Ross's ears. What a move of double ear blowing, Ross's ears were tinnitus and dizziness, and his head was so painful that he knelt down like this.
Duran said that the fighting power of this world was too weak, and the Saint Seiya was still the best.
"The speed-up magic is very useful. Haonan came and trapped him. Next, we will exchange hostages."
Yong Haonan removed Ross's electric shock horn and installed it on his wrist. This can be taken back for mass production. It is a good melee weapon. He tied Ross up tightly again.
Tifa has never let down her guard. Duran's move was too poisonous. Double ear blowing is not a move that a warrior can show off. As a warrior, Tifa looked down on Duran. He had already used the magic stone, but he still used this move. It was too despicable.
"You are here to find your friend, but it seems that your friend will not live long." Duran took the bandage that Claude had changed, "He also has a star mark."
"Claude!" Sure enough, something happened, so he moved out alone? Tifa knew the character of that ** boy very well, and she kept everything in mind. It can be said that Tifa knew him better than Cloud himself, and this was a tacit understanding since childhood.
Marin grabbed Tifa's pants, and her eyes showed worry. She understood the ways of the world better than Cloud.
"In fact, the star mark is not a serious disease, but the result of the pollution of the Fountain of Life. As long as the Fountain of Life is purified, there will be no problem, such as pulling Sephiroth out to whip the corpse."
Duran's words sounded like nonsense.
Suddenly, a phone rang excitedly, and Duran thought he had upgraded. It was a call from Ross's two brothers.
"Rods, hurry up." It was Cardanqiu's impatient voice.
"Moshimoshi, my name is Duran, your brother is here now. If you want him to come back safely, send back all the children you took away, otherwise I will chop off your brother's hands and feet first, and then cut off his nose and ears to soak in wine." Who is the bad guy?
"..." There was a silence on the other end of the phone, and then a chuckle came, "Just wait and see, I will find you." The phone was hung up.
"What a cruel brother, isn't it, stupid boy?" Duran said to Rhodes who was still confused. He looked up at Eva again, "Eva, did you bring your laptop and data cable?"
"I brought it." Was Eva going to cosplay the universal capsule? She really brought this thing. In fact, it was used to look at photos at night.
Regardless of whether it could be connected or not, he plugged Ross's phone into the computer, and it was connected by chance. Then Duran's fingers turned into breeze, typing a series of spam messages on the keyboard and sending them to the other party through a temporary SMS bombing software.
The most common sentence in it was "Rejoice is so confident." Looking at Duran's behavior, Yong Haonan and Eva were speechless, as if after coming to this world, Duran was particularly concerned about things related to hair.
But Cardan Qiu was so angry that he threw his phone. The poor child was determined to tear Duran into pieces. However, there was a sentence in these spam messages that touched his heart, "Rejoice is so confident."
