Chapter 15: Determination
They seem to have arrived at a hospital, and the sign at the top of the staircase clearly indicates their destination, the morgue.
The team leader, who had obtained permission, walked into the basement and turned on the lights, the bright LED lights illuminated the corners of the morgue, but the miserable white lights did not make people feel warm at all, and the low temperature created by the air conditioner was running at full strength to infiltrate everyone's skin, and everyone was silent.
There are two morgues in the room, one is empty, and the other has an urn on it.
The members of the school team came forward to bow in turn, not with Christian etiquette but with Buddhist hands folded, and the scene looked a little funny, did they just learn this in the temple?
Li Su stood at the end of the line, and the team leader had finished worshipping and was standing beside him waiting. Li Su asked softly, "So anxious about cremation?" Don't let the family see the last face? ”
"No way." The team leader also replied in a low voice, and at the same time raised his palms to make a gesture of chopping vegetables. "The body was so shredded that it couldn't be recovered, and the family was only more sad when they saw it."
After the school workers finished worshipping, Li Su finally stepped forward, and he raised his hand to draw a cross on his chest.
After seeing the last meeting, the team leader announced the disbandment, and the strong men left in a sparse manner, leaving only the team leader and Li Su standing in place. The team leader, as the representative of Raymond's unit, is responsible for the handover of the body.
"I'll go out for a walk." Li Su patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the stairs, but instead of leaving, he stopped and sat down in front of the public seat behind the corner. Leaning forward, covering your face with your hands on your knees, she just sat quietly.
More than ten minutes later, scattered footsteps came from far and near, and Li Su's extraordinary ear power told him that the owners of the footsteps were two middle-aged men and a young woman. They quickly passed in front of Li Su and then turned the corner, and Li Su didn't attract much attention from them. There are many people in the hospital who cover their faces with their hands, and every person who covers their faces with their hands is a tragedy behind them.
The sound of speaking went around the corner and drilled into Li Su's ears, he did not block it but tried his best to collect the sound in the air, trying to memorize every sentence firmly, his heart was full of confusion.
First, I talked with the team leader, and it was clear from the voice that the three family members were all Chinese, and it seemed that Raymond was the name given later. The team leader first expressed sympathy on behalf of the Kassel Academy for the accident of their business travelers, and said that the insurance money would be handed over to them as soon as possible after verification by the insurance company, and finally hoped that they could control their emotions.
After the negotiation, there was the heavy footsteps of the leader, as if he had stood out of the way and made way for the morgue, and then the sound of small footsteps indicated that the family members were walking towards the morgue.
At first, he was very calm, but as he gradually moved towards the urn, the family's emotions slowly collapsed, and the crying sound penetrated the heavy load-bearing wall and reached Li Su's ears, as if a sharp knife was cutting his heart.
After all, who can really calm down in such a situation?
Li Su got up and walked to the door, leaning against the wall next to him, and the sound in the morgue was heard more vividly. The middle-aged woman kept whispering, saying Wang Qiang, my son, you died so miserably, you just said that you have laid a little foundation abroad and want to take us to enjoy Qingfu, why did you go? I still remember your voice, my miserable son, and it was full of sadness.
It turns out that Raymond's real name is Wang Qiang? Raymond's name sounds like a ruthless agent, decisive and not afraid of death, like a brave heroic spirit found by the Valkyrie, shouldn't this kind of hero die for a great cause? Like when he was led by Odin to roar and rush at the giants in Ragnarok.
But the ordinary name of Wang Qiang suddenly shattered the previous heroic image. Someone with this name should not have died on the front line of the battlefield of half-breeds and dragons, he should be the kind of ordinary office worker who can see the warm lights of his home when he drags his tired body home after a day of work outside, and when he opens the door, he is greeted by the gentle smile of his wife, the seductive smell of food and a small hug from his daughter.
Li Su's hand clenched tightly and suddenly let go, he figured it out. In fact, there has never been such a person as a "hero", but rather the name of "hero" is a pair of shining armor, and ordinary people wear it and become heroes, rushing in front of everyone and sending swords into the chest of the enemy with a war hammer. He can lead ordinary people to win victory after victory, but the same ordinary people inside have long been in ruins.
With Wang Qiang's mother's crying, the young woman couldn't control her emotions anymore, she cried and said, Didn't you promise to put a ring on me and buy all the roses in the flower shop and put them on our wedding, didn't you say that you want me to be the happiest woman in the world, and it will be our wedding in a week.
Is he still a man who is about to get married? How could the happiest man in the whole world, who was about to attend his own wedding, die here?
Before he could feel his own happiness and see his own light, Sycodi's scissors had already fallen, and neither the "hero", nor the "fiancé" nor the "parents who loved her" could save his life.
Does God really love the good? Coming to this world, Li Su was confused for the first time.
Raymond can be described as a very traditional good person, honoring his parents, loving his girlfriend, and even volunteering to put on armor called "hero" in order to give everyone a better life, but "good" is useless, he still dies when he deserves to die, just because of ...... He is not the main character.
Actually, the protagonist is not good. Li Su remembered the protagonists in this story, remembered Chu Zihang inserting the folding knife into Xia Mi's heart, remembered Caesar holding Aso Zhen helplessly watching her slowly die in the flames of the sky, remembered Chu Zihang's anger and powerlessness when he heard Caesar say "I will never kill that girl", and remembered Lu Mingfei silently dressing up the dead Eri Yi......
It's sad.
Or is this the purpose of one's existence? Li Su looked at his palm, and there seemed to be countless lines intertwined in his palm, each line representing a person.
So, let me protect everyone, and let me make you happy. Li Su's palm slowly clenched.
