Chapter 85: The Man of the Apocalypse (Orc Chapter)
A majestic building that towers into the sky is preceded by a crowd of people. Some of them were happy, some were haughty, some were worried, and some were blank.
Among the steel behemoths known as Starlin, they are like cogs that seem important but are extremely ordinary. As intelligent beings, they are sometimes even more spiritually devoid than those intelligent robots, like walking corpses.
In the midst of the bustling crowd, a young man with a childish look on his face bowed his head and walked out of the building. His surname is Wu Tianhao, and he is just seventeen years old. His downcast face could be seen in his frustration at this time. Depressed, he turned around and raised his hand to take a deep look at the building behind him, on which the three characters of the arena exuded a dazzling brilliance and floated in the air.
The undulating text has a peculiar charm that makes people can't help but pay attention, and its brilliant light penetrates the dim night, just like the dream in the heart of a teenager. It's so dazzling, so close, but so unattainable.
"Alas~ I haven't been able to keep it after holding it for so long!"
The young man couldn't help but look sad at the dreamlike building in front of him, sighed softly and turned to leave.
Today! After struggling in the parallel arena for many days, he eventually lost the qualification to continue in a short period of time due to insufficient points. After all, an arena with a tie at the lowest level will not allow a weak division that has been losing to give others points. As a minus three points, he was officially labeled as a weak level today.
The boy walked aimlessly through the streets. From time to time, pedestrians walked by, and all kinds of shuttles drove by on the sky's driving lane, and those who could fly on the human flyway flew by.
The young man put away his envious gaze and looked forward. Under the neon lights that are as bright as day in front, the projection of a beauty dozens of meters high poses in various poses. In his hand is the latest luxury bag. The crowd of people under it passed through the projection, and from time to time a well-dressed woman pulled the man to the luxury store behind the projection. You don't have to think about it to know that those women who pointed at the projection before were going to vent their desire to buy.
Suddenly, the woman's projection disappeared, and two distant confrontations of light and shadow appeared. I saw that they suddenly rushed towards each other, hitting in the dark, and all kinds of light arrows flew sideways. The scene is gorgeous and dazzling, and the strength of the two can be felt just from the background of the three jumps behind the projection.
"Daddy, Daddy. You see the battle between the Frozen Mage and the Wine Sword Idiot. When I grow up, I want to be like them. ”
"Good. Baby, Daddy has your back. But if you want to be strong, you have to study harder. The next time I send you to the academy, I can't cry and say that I want to go home to study. ”
Wu Tianhao's thoughts were interrupted by a conversation behind him, and he turned his head to look at the child who was being held by a young man with a bitter smile. The little boy's little pink face was full of longing, and his eyes radiated a dazzling light. That kind of radiant boy has also been there, so it is even more stinging at this moment.
Until now, the scenes of ruin and frustration are still very clear in my heart. The boy who was about the same age as himself, and whose energy intensity was not even as strong as his own, stepped on his back and said the words seemed to still echo in his ears.
"You don't know how to fight at all. With the same level of energy intensity, the thrill of fighting you is not even as good as that of a weak level. I heard that if you lose this again, you will be persuaded to quit by the arena. It's also a good thing for you, so why waste yourself in an area you're not good at? ”
A feeling of powerlessness from exhaustion took over his heart again, and he touched his back, which seemed to be still being stepped on.
Without waiting for the battle projected by the two to end, and without waiting for the advertising slogan "You can too" to appear, he turned and left, leaving only a lonely and depressed back.
He walked aimlessly out of the city, under the feet of ordinary people who did not have the ability to fly, and under the premise of not taking a shuttle, it was so huge that he walked to the leg soreness, and the surrounding environment was only becoming more and more secluded, but the border was far away and seemed to be boundless.
"Am I really a piece of crap? Can't I really be a strong man? So where is my way out? Am I really going to live in obscurity and poverty on subsidies? What do I want? What can I do? Am I really worthy of the blood of the people who fell from heaven in my body? ”
He asked himself but could not get an answer. His mother was a human who had come from far and wide to come from heaven, and his father was a man from heaven. There is no doubt that both of them are the pride of the sky, they are ahead of most of their kind, they have won the respect of countless people, and they have an influence that cannot be ignored.
Sometimes he even wondered if he was the biological son of the second elder. It's really because compared to the second elder, he himself is too ordinary.
In a society where influence is also a form of power, status and respect depend on one's own influence. Of course, the status of the second elder will bring him a certain advantage, but it also forces him to do something.
That's right! He can't be ordinary! He can't be ordinary! The people around him can't accept it, even he can't accept it!
So on the day of his sixteenth birthday, he left his spacious and comfortable home and moved into his own nest alone.
He doesn't have the creativity and way of thinking of those scientific researchers, he doesn't have the heart and taste of a foodie who loves food, he doesn't have the ability of actors to perform realistically, he doesn't have the ability of anchors to communicate and interact, and he doesn't even have the unique experience of enjoying and having fun as a hedonistic blogger, so he gave up all the above professions and chose the most simple and crude, and the most universally fair path - climbing the arena.
However, today, reality ruthlessly poured cold water on him. Tell him that fighting is not for him either.
Now that he is a little disheartened, he can't help but get into the horns. Is it true that he is not suitable for the city, not suitable for here. Maybe he should go out and have a look? Appreciate the different styles of each place, and finally die in that outside world that is said to be extremely dangerous?
Thinking like this, his footsteps moved towards the outskirts of the city with his cranky thoughts.
He wandered aimlessly, and as time passed, the gray sky turned into a pitch-black curtain, on which the stars and the moon appeared, then gray again, and finally reflected red by the first rays of the morning sun.
A round of red sun slowly rose in the sky, and he narrowed his eyes even though it was not very dazzling. Before he knew it, he had walked out of Starland City with legs as heavy as lead. He stood in the middle of a wilderness, with a modern city with no end in sight behind him.
For the first time, he saw the sun rising outside the city, and an inexplicable emotion came to his heart. This kind of emotion is complicated and difficult to understand whether he is true or not, this kind of emotion is like a flood rushing away, washing away the negative emotions that have accumulated in his heart overnight, and awakening his positivity and confidence.
"It doesn't matter if it's God or the devil. Please let me know okay? What should I do? ”
People like to ask for help most when they are confused and can't find their goal, and Wu Tianhao is no exception. At this fragile moment when despair and hope frequently collide in his heart, he chose to turn to the ghosts and gods that he usually scoffed at, like those who clung to the life-saving straw, afraid of sinking and wanting to get out as soon as possible.
With his hands clasped in front of his chest, he looked up at the sky and looked at the rising sun, praying with devotion that he had never seen before. Time passed without the slightest change. Just as the morning sun became more and more dazzling, his expression became more and more dim, and the hands he raised in front of his chest fell down, suddenly a dark flame vortex appeared in the sky, and a figure rose into the air and rushed into the vortex.
The figure was dressed in a black trench coat, covered with light armor that made up for the scales, and its body burned with raging flames, and the dark and deep flames were like the flames of hell, faintly emitting black gas.
Wu Tianhao rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he looked up again, the demon-like figure had already thrown himself into the whirlpool. The whirlpool also disappeared without a trace.
"Could this be the legendary teleportation black hole? No, isn't that thing one-way? Am I wrong? Is it just the strong passing by? No, it's not! This must be some kind of revelation! I should go back. I'm not suitable for fighting, maybe it's just because the cultivation system I've learned isn't suitable? Even if I'm really not fit for combat, there's always something I'm good at waiting to discover. It's like...... The majestic posture of the one just now ......"
The boy looked up and whispered to himself for a while, then turned to leave. At this time, the expression on his face was complicated, and there was an unprecedented light in his eyes. He walked forward step by step with a firm step, and there was a majestic city called "Star Landing City".
