Chapter 21: The Heart of the Strong and the Stance of the 'Weapon'
When Yu Sheng opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the room where he had been 'placed under house arrest' again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Cut... Did you really throw me to this place again? ā
lifted the chair next to the bed and smashed it towards the door, but helplessly found that except for a louder collision sound, neither the chair nor the door left any traces, and Yu Sheng suddenly felt a little depressed.
"Hehe, if your first action after waking up is not this, I may really change your place to live..."
The hooded man's voice came from a dark corner of the room, startling the dark-haired boy who had just laid down and was about to get another night's sleep.
"But looking at you like this, you don't seem to care too much about the previous defeat?"
"Why should I care?"
"Because you lost."
"Well, and then what?"
"Don't you feel unwilling to lose to others?"
The black-haired boy's calm rhetorical question at the moment seemed to make the hooded man feel a little puzzled... In the latter's expectation, with the kind of character for the rest of his life, he should be extremely unhappy at this moment.
"Well, I'm very unwilling... But that was just a temporary failure for me, so I didn't need to worry too much about it. ā
"You have a very good mentality, only the weak will be immersed in the shadow of failure... For the strong, a momentary failure is just a stepping stone to a higher ladder. ā
The hooded man seemed very satisfied with Yu Sheng's answer, and began to praise him.
"However, no matter how good your mentality is, it can't change the fact that you were defeated before, so..."
"In the next group stage, I won't lose again," Yu Sheng directly interrupted the hooded man, "And, before I face that speedster who beat me before, I'm going to get stronger, stronger..."
ā... Enough to defeat him! ā
"Good."
The corners of the hooded man's mouth, which had not yet been completely covered by the hood, curled up with satisfaction.
"I hope you don't let this sentence fall through... I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next! ā
...
"It looks delicious... I really want to rush up and 'eat' her now~"
Sitting somewhere in the audience, staring at the powerful person on the field who burst out with incomparably powerful energy almost the moment the host announced the start of the game, the powerful ability to completely defeat the opponent, the girl named 'Famine' licked her lips, and her pupils exuded a hungry look.
"If I were you, I'd immediately dispel this stupid thought....'Terminator' isn't something you can touch right now."
Sitting next to the thin girl, a handsome young man in white said lightly.
"What's more... She's something left for 'death', and if you touch her, you know. ā
"Heh... The more you say that, the more I want to try it... My dear 'Plague' brother. ā
The girl in black obviously didn't pay attention to the warning of the young man in white, got up and walked in the direction of the player's backstage... In principle, she in the second division would not be able to fight the powerful Innate Awakened in the ring who has some special status in the organization 'Dawn' to which she belongs, let alone she... Or rather, their 'creators' also strictly forbid them to come into conflict with certain people.
At least not yet.
Among them, there is already a 'brother' who has violated this prohibition and tasted the bitter fruit... With the intervention of one or more of the big names in 'Dawn', her stupid 'brother' was cut into pieces and almost completely disappeared from this world.
The reason for the use of the word 'almost'... That's naturally because the 'war' wasn't dead yet - or that he was 'recovered' in time after being dismembered.
Of course, he's not in great shape right now... It's very miserable to be exact.
After retrieving the fragmented corpse of the War, their 'creators' did not let him return to this world, but somehow only sealed his self-healing abilities while ensuring the vitality of his remnants, and stored them in some kind of container.
And this way of dealing with the above also made the heart of the 'Famine' have some strange thoughts about which 'prohibitions'... It's not that she wants to experience that state of immortality, it's just that the example of war has made her realize that even if they do something against the will of Dawn, the latter will not actually 'destroy' them.
From the very beginning, the four of them knew exactly what they had created to do - to resist and destroy some of the enemies of the 'future' that would befall and bring the end of this world in the perception of the Dawn... As a 'weapon'.
However, Famine himself knew that this seemingly very 'critical' status did not bring her superiority in status, but put all four of them in an extremely dangerous position.
After all, a 'weapon' is just a 'weapon', and the one who firmly holds the hilt of the knife is the real master of the 'weapon'.
And once the 'weapon' has its own position, and the various 'desires' that come with it, then such a weapon may lose control at any time, and even aim the blade at its original owner.
The Dawn would never allow that to happen, so from the very beginning of their existence, there has never been 'freedom' in the true sense of the word... Although he couldn't feel it, the famine was very clear, and no matter where he was, every minute and every second would be monitored by the 'eyes' in the 'dawn', to ensure that every move of himself, her 'sister', and the two 'brothers' (of course, only one and a half now) would not get out of the control of this organization.
Before the war was dismembered, Famine had also guessed what kind of 'punishment' she would receive if she violated the will of Dawn, and the greatest possibility was... It was completely 'destroyed'.
After all, she... In other words, the meaning of their existence is just a piece of 'weapon'.
Since 'Dawn' can make four pieces, it shouldn't be difficult to make a few more, right?
Rather than forcibly domesticating a wolf that has already betrayed, it is better to raise a wolf cub and turn it into a loyal dog... Even if it fails again, it's just a few more times.
The famine before, that's what I thought... So all her actions are done with care, not daring to disobey any orders issued by her 'creators'.
She didn't want to be a failed 'weapon' and then be completely destroyed.
However, after witnessing the end of the war, she realized that she had been wrong.
Although it is quite miserable now, at least the 'brother' with developed limbs and simple mind is not dead... At least not dead.
