Chapter 27: The stage fades away
December 14th, Earth Day.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by the temporary suspension of the flight to Saitama due to heavy fog..."
The answer to the ticket office at the station had already been mentally prepared, Xia Junhao couldn't help but sigh, and looked gloomyly at the fog that shrouded the entire city in the distance.
Like traveling through time, this abrupt mist contains the power of the gods, because it is about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is still bright and shimmering with the lazy winter sun.
However, except for Xia Junhao, who felt that this fog was too abnormal, no one else around had any doubts about it, and they were all casually discussing their parents' shortcomings or complaining that their trip was delayed.
There is more than one way to get out of the city, rail transit cannot be used, cars, buses, and even walking can be, but Xia Junhao still has a little brain, people who go out of the city are swallowed by the fog, and there are no people who enter the city, he doesn't plan to explore what is in the fog.
After observing carefully for a while, he didn't find that the fog had a tendency to invade the city, Xia Junhao summoned two taxis back to the center of the city and randomly found a park to sit down and rest.
It's almost dinner time because it's a day off, and the children in the park are still rampage through this not-so-small space like a 4WD that has just been loaded with batteries to spread joy.
Unfortunately, not all children can enjoy happiness, even if there are 24-year-old adults like Xia Junhao sitting in the park, a few relatively strong little boys still surround a little boy who looks a little thin in the seemingly hidden corner, and start a happy limited activity to increase team cohesion.
It's a pity that Xia Junhao didn't intend to help him, but sat on the bench indifferently and watched quietly with the other children in the park, even if the other children in the park looked at Xia Junhao from time to time, he didn't waver.
"That's it? It seems that the lesson to him is not enough. "That guy's legs were shaking and tears were all over the place, it was so funny!" "Speaking of which, he won't cry and complain to his parents, right?" "Don't worry! He had already sued him once, and no one stood up for him at all, and my stomach hurt with that expression at that time. "Who told him that he didn't have a father? Hahahaha..."
The limited event ended earlier than expected, and a few young boys led by the boss talked about the victims unscrupulously, apparently understanding that their actions had caused enough pain to people, and were trying to annihilate their own uneasy hearts in this childish way.
To be honest, they are not hopeless, not all children who have bullied other people will grow up to be the dregs of society as those who have been bullied imagined, most of them will become one of the ordinary people over time, and then laugh at the fact that they have bullied other people when they were children, because from the situation at the time, it was really not a very serious matter.
It's just a little intimidation, it's just a few light blows, it's just a little pocket money, it won't break any laws, and no matter how righteous adults see it, they can only scold a few words.
When they met Xia Junhao's eyes, the little boys still felt their breath stagnate, and left the other side of the park in silence and quickened their pace.
It may be an uneasy conscience, or it may be that this place is a little unlucky, or it may be that they are worried that they will become the next target here, the children in the park have a tacit understanding to avoid the bullies and Xia Junhao, and they left in twos and threes.
It was almost the same as the other children in the park who had just walked away, the little boy with dust on his body and two tear stains on his face got up, he walked in a strange way, as a victim who had just been bullied and was still being watched, he should have acted scared but walked hard.
He was in the same situation as a small beast that had just been robbed of its food and was wounded, and before he could go back to the lair to lick his wounds, he had to pass through a more powerful predator's territory, and at this time he could only pretend to be as strong as possible, even if he couldn't fool anyone.
However, he walked very calmly, as if everything he had just experienced was just a phantom, such a posture and such a performance was no longer a normal child, at least Xia Junhao was not so behaving at his age.
"11 years old?"
Xia Junhao, who had been in a state of onlookers, accosted him.
"11 years old."
The skinny boy happened to walk near Xia Junhao and paused.
"Don't you feel resentful?" "Why do I feel resentful?"
It was obviously the relationship between the adults and the victim who stood by and watched, but they naturally got into the conversation.
"There are so many people around who can lend a hand, but no one is willing to lend a hand, and no matter how much you pray, the heroes who always protect the weak in the manga don't make the appearance."
Without the consciousness that he can become a so-called big hero, Xia Junhao recalled the bad mood when he was 11 years old.
"Is this what you really think? Resentment arises because no one comes to save? ”
The little boy looked at Xia Junhao in surprise, he seemed to know Xia Junhao's past very well.
"Of course not, as an all-knowing and all-powerful person, you should know my temperament, right? However, I can't understand the meaning of this link, is it a setting that will only be sublimated after experiencing the test? ”
I can't say whether it's boldness or anything else, I clearly understand that it's almost the final moment, and as the one who is condemned, Xia Junhao has become skinny slightly.
"All-knowing? You seem to have misunderstood something, I'm just an illusion extracted from a false past, a momentary existence that can move and interact. ”
Xia Junhao's familiar smile appeared on the little boy's face, and generally speaking, he would only show this kind of evil smile when he got into someone's trick.
"Although it is not all, it is undeniable that I have resentment, very, very deep resentment, but I don't even dare to show it, and I paralyze myself through the entertainment that can be happy alone, convinced that I have no feelings..."
The moment he realized that he had misunderstood, Xia Junhao decisively took what he thought was the most correct action, and analyzed his boring and meaningless life in a self-revealing way.
"Tsk, I'm very good at knowing current affairs."
Glancing at Xia Junhao with disgust, the little boy leaned lazily on the chair and disappeared in an instant.
"It should have passed, right?"
Somewhat unsure, Xia Junhao looked around, touched his nose and flashed.
