Chapter 562: Humans are complex and contradictory creatures

Although the city of Biquge was not directly destroyed by the meteorite, it was shattered by the meteorite fragments of Saitama Sensei, and the ground was devastated......

Originally, the city avoided such a natural disaster, which should be a cause for celebration...... But Yoshida didn't feel a trace of joy from Genos's inner monologue in the manga manuscript, but was a little more dignified!

"The next plot ......" Yoshida looked up at Makoto Takahashi, who was full of anticipation, and swallowed with some difficulty, "Could it be again...... Depressed, right?"

Yoshida once asked Makoto Takahashi why several manga serialized by the cartoonist Phoenix Yuan Fierce True were accompanied by the content of the depression system......

The purpose of this is to prevent the joyful human being from forgetting the sorrow...... When giving people hope, they also do not forget to give the corresponding despair, this level of [equivalent exchange], but the [truth] that is common to all worlds!"

This is Makoto Takahashi's answer...... It is also a unique style that belongs to the cartoonist Phoenix Courtyard Murder!

Now that he has guessed that the next plot will move towards the road of [Depression], then Yoshida, as the editor in charge, will naturally be mentally prepared in advance! In the face of the impending misfortune, human beings will always think that they have taken proper precautions...... However, it is a pity that this naïve idea is nothing more than human arrogance!

So, Yoshida, who thought he was mentally prepared, arrogantly began to observe the remaining manga drafts of the manga "One Punch Man", and then ......

Then Yoshida really showed the look that Makoto Takahashi was expecting...... Well, it's the twisted look that makes Makoto Takahashi's soul feel [happy]!

Mr. Saitama, who smashed the meteorite and saved Z City, was not greeted with flowers and applause, but under the instigation of some villains, he was slandered, resisted, and rejected...... And resentment!

"But it's all because of you that my new car will ......"

Apparently saved the humans in the city, but now he has become the perpetrator of the destruction of the city......

"It's all because of you, my house was ......"

It obviously shattered the meteorite, but it was repeatedly questioned and blamed by distorted humans......

"Because of your sloppy behavior, my supermarket will ......"

He was supposed to be treated like a hero, but now he was questioned like a sinner......

Looking at the manga manuscript, Saitama sensei, under the instigation of a handful of villains, was surrounded by more and more humans and blamed and questioned...... Although he is just an observer of the manga draft, at this moment, Yoshida's heart has a kind of helplessness and anger that cannot be vented!

In the face of the accusations of the onlookers whose human nature has been distorted, Saitama Sensei did not retreat and escape, nor did he destroy all living things after blackening to retaliate, but argued loudly with the people around him like a child quarrelling......

"Shut up! I don't care what you've suffered! Talk to meteorites like that, stupid donkey!"

"Listen, I'm not going to be a hero just to be praised by you, it's because I want to be a hero myself!"

"Hate if you want, you bald heads!"

But it's really an argument...... Is it?

Looking at Saitama-sensei's declaration in the manga draft, Yoshida suddenly remembered for some reason that Saitama sensei often said on his lips!

[I'm a hero of interest......]

When he first saw this sentence, Yoshida thought it was quite funny and indecent...... After all, it's too out of tune to engage in a high-risk profession like [Hero] just by virtue of interest, right?

Or rather...... Saitama sensei's idea is too naïve and naïve, right?

But when he saw this, Yoshida realized that the real naïve and naïve person was actually himself!

Whether it's killing monsters or smashing meteorites, all of this is out of interest, not to protect anyone, not to get any praise or praise, all actions are out of their own interests...... After gaining near-invincible combat power, Saitama Sensei has not forgotten his original heart!

[I remember, I, I just want to be a hero who can beat you bad guys with one punch......]

I recall what Saitama Sensei said to the crab monster who wanted to kill the child when he was not bald and had no strong combat power in the previous serial...... Yoshida suddenly felt that perhaps the reason why Saitama Sensei was really powerful was not because of the kind of exercise that sounded like ordinary people could do it, but because of such a mentality, he would gain that invincible power!

This is probably the so-called "don't forget the original intention, you have to always"!

"Yo, my family cat, I've finished reading the manga manuscript!" Makoto Takahashi interrupted Yoshida, who was still thinking about it, as he sat on his desk, with a cheerful face, "Then you can answer me now...... Humans, do you need heroes?"

Of course you need to ...... If you hadn't read the content of this sentence, to be exact, if you hadn't read the second half of this sentence, Yoshida would definitely answer this way without hesitation!

"......" But now, after watching what happened to Saitama Sensei...... Yoshida can't say such a thing!

"Oh, my family cat, your expression now...... What a masterpiece!" Makoto Takahashi, who was even worse than the onlookers in the manga, looked at Yoshida's aggrieved expression and let out a praise called [Pleasure]!" "Seeing my family cat, your current look...... I'm already looking forward to the reader's reaction after this article is published!"

"Although there is no problem with the style of painting, the plot of this sentence ......" did not pay attention to the ghostly evil taste of a certain secondary and second manga artist, and Yoshida couldn't help but challenge Makoto Takahashi after muttering for a while...... Of course, Ariki has the intention of deliberately changing the topic, and only a certain editor in charge knows about this!" Somewhat ...... Right?"

"Eh, it's really unexpected......" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida with some surprise, and said in a disgusted tone, "I didn't expect that you can't even bear this level of cat...... Hey, hey, you're not going to fake my family's cat, are you?"

"No kidding, Makoto, I'm going to discuss the plot of the manga with you right now!" Although he tried his best not to use the [Roar] skill on a certain secondary manga artist, Yoshida was really a little angry at the moment...... As for the reason for the anger, it is more or less because of the influence of the comic "One Punch Man", right?" There is nothing wrong with the first half of this sentence, but the content of the latter part is somewhat ...... Some ......"

"The plot in the second half is very realistic and cruel...... Isn't that right?" After finishing Yoshida's unfinished words, Makoto Takahashi restrained his smile and shook his head slightly, "But my family cat, don't forget the world that humans live in today...... That's how it is!"

"No, it's not the same...... It's not the same......" even though he subconsciously refuted Makoto Takahashi's words...... But is Yoshida's unfounded tone really refuting, or is he comforting and deceiving himself in another way?

"The hero who saved mankind gets not praise but blame; the doctor who rescued the patient with a sudden illness gets not gratitude but complains; the judge who judges the criminal who has a crime gets not praise but abuse; the pedestrian who was originally kind enough to help others gets not gratitude but doubts......" Makoto Takahashi showed a disdainful smile on his face, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Now, my family is a cat, what happened to Saitama Sensei in the manga...... It is the cruel reality of our lives!"

"I know...... But ......"

"The reason why you can't accept the plot of the comics is because your soul is stinged, or it comes from a sense of conscience and moral guilt...... After all, you also live in this cruel and realistic society!" Makoto Takahashi jumped off the table, walked to Yoshida's side, and picked up the manga manuscript that was set aside, "So for heroes, the best ending is not to defeat the evil demon king, but to die with the other party......"

“…… In other words, human beings, do they still need heroes?"

"Of course......! Sacrifice is the fate of heroes!" Makoto Takahashi sorted out the manga manuscripts while using [一正のnonsense] to erode Yoshida's thoughts, "After all, heroes who live in human memory...... To humans, they are heroes!"

"Sacrifice?"

"Now, my dependents, do you know why it is said that [sacrifice is the fate of heroes]?" Takahashi Makoto's tone became a little low, "Because the so-called [heroes] must die after blooming their own glory...... Human beings, twisted creatures, exude a rotten stench called jealousy from the depths of their souls, and they cannot tolerate beings who are better than themselves, nor can they tolerate the objects of their longing and worship...... I can't tolerate the existence of being a [hero] that can be praised and boasted of by mankind!"

"Hey, Makoto, don't smear humanity with a little bit of face!" Yoshida seemed to have escaped the ideological erosion of a certain middle two manga, "If it's really as you say, then ...... Do humans still need heroes?"

"Of course!" Makoto Takahashi quickly flipped through the manga draft, pulling out the conversation between Genos and Saitama Sensei after the disaster, and spread it out in front of Yoshida, "Just as Saitama Sensei said...... If even the [heroes] run away, who will fight?"

"......" knew that this was the fallacy of a certain secondary cartoonist, but Yoshida now has a sense of powerlessness that is speechless...... Delusion?

"My family is a cat, do you feel a contradiction? Actually, there is no need to say it at all!" Makoto Takahashi put the sorted manga manuscript into Yoshida's hand, pulled the white coat on his body, and said solemnly, "While I long for heroes, I am also deeply afraid of the existence of heroes...... As I told you before, humans are creatures!"

There is no need to analyze too much, and now Yoshida has understood why Makoto Takahashi said that human beings are complex and contradictory creatures! Because for human beings, the existence of "heroes" is admired and worshiped by human beings at the same time......

It is also hated and rejected by human beings!
