Chapter 44: The Hero's Wish
"Poof!"
Black-brown blood spurted directly from Al's mouth, and along with the blood, there were several fragments of internal organs on the ground!
After spitting out the blood, the strength was also stripped out of Al's body, and his body lost its balance in an instant, stumbling forward under the effect of inertia, and then fell in front of Chu Ge with a pop!
This kind of accident was obviously not expected by Chu Ge, and after a short period of stunned thought, he immediately forcibly terminated the charge and tried to help Al up.
But how could he easily bear the backlash caused by forcibly terminating the legendary skill? Even though this ability has not been entered into the attribute template by him, the mobilization of energy has been running at a high speed, and with his current strength, it can't be stopped at all!
At the moment of the forced end, a cold current that was going backwards rushed towards his lungs, and his face was suddenly covered with a layer of paleness, and the whole person fell directly to the ground!
[The host's internal energy is disordered, and it is affected by unknown attributes, and its health is -17! 】
[The host falls into a weakened state, and all attributes are reduced by 30% for ten minutes!] 】
Although he received a serious backlash, Chu Ge was not completely incapacitated at this moment, he tried his best to support his body and stood up and walked towards Al.
"Ahh......h
Seeing Chu Ge coming over, Al barely cheered up and grinned at him,
"Ahem, your face doesn't look good...... Ahem, really, I didn't expect the effect of Xilan's woman's heart-eroding powder to be so good, if it is five minutes, it must be five minutes, and you won't give me a second more......"
Although his mouth kept vomiting internal organs and blood, and the smile on his face was extremely tragic, Al's tone was full of lightness and indifference
- It seems that he has been prepared for the end of his own death for a long time.
After hearing Al's intermittent words, Chu Ge's pupils suddenly shrank, and he asked in disbelief:
"Hearts ......? Could it be that you didn't plan to ...... at all!! ”
"yes, I took the Hearts Eater before I fought you, and the dose was just enough to kill me in five minutes."
"Isn't that even that state able to help you eliminate the effect of the heart-eroding powder?"
"Hey, what are you talking about, do you still want me to live? Don't be funny! ”
Al struggled to sit up, grinning softly as he waved his hand at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge couldn't understand Al's approach, and after being silent for a few seconds, he slowly spoke, word by word:
"Why?"
"Why are you doing this? Why not fight for a chance to live? ”
"Aren't you afraid of death at all???"
Although his tone did not change much, and his tone was basically the same as usual, there was a wave that only he knew about beneath the calm.
As if some kind of cognition that he had been following in his heart had been broken, he was a little out of control.
Since his rebirth, his emotions have rarely fluctuated violently, and even in his previous life, such a gaffe is rare.
"Afraid of death? Who is not afraid of death? ”
"As for the chance of survival? Fight with whom? Are you? ”
After hearing this answer, Chu Ge's excitement in his heart became even worse, and even gradually appeared on his face:
"What, I want to live for myself, but I sacrifice myself for the sake of others...... Isn't this a story used to trick fools into tears......"
"How could I need your pity......"
"Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not pitiing you!"
Al's face remained as frivolous as ever, and he said lazily,
"Let you live because, compared to me, Yuu and Karina will definitely want you to live!"
"One more thing you said is wrong, Ino you are not 'someone else'!"
"It's my best friend!"
Looking at the silent Chu Ge, the light in Al's eyes was fading little by little, but he still slowly said in a weak voice:
"Hey, Ino,"
"Do you have a dream?"
"Have you ever heard of the fairy tale of heroes?"
"You know, my dream is to be a hero."
"I want to be the legendary ranger and be the brave man who saves everyone."
"However, now it seems that this dream is unrealizable, and until now, the only person I have saved is you......"
"Ha, you can't deny this, if I don't take the initiative to sacrifice, you won't be able to take the previous move, so you were saved by me...... Well, that seems a bit cheeky to say. ”
Looking at Chu Ge's somewhat cloudy eyes, Al used his last strength and said:
"So, can you, instead of me, become a hero?"
Become a hero? What a childish dream......
Chu Ge didn't answer, this request was too heavy, so heavy that he could only escape by being silent.
- Do you have a dream?
- Don't you have your own pursuits?
In fact, Chu Ge hated this kind of question very much, and he also hated the person who raised this kind of question very much.
Because, every time this kind of problem is encountered, the questioner will use "dreams" as an excuse, or make a long speech to the fullest, or shake his head and silently despise it...... occupies the commanding heights of human nature, regards himself as a glorious person, and mentally denies and criticizes those who "have no dreams".
They never put themselves in the other person's shoes, or to put it another way, it's impossible for people to really understand each other.
When I see a lonely person who is silent, I wonder if he is unsociable, whether he is sick, and I want to educate him, persuade him, and change him...... Label that behavior as "abnormal" and treat it as a mental illness...... How ironic.
The core of all great comedies is actually tragedy - that's true, but all tragedies end with a standard comedic beginning.
They just fall and fail in the process of becoming comedy.
In the beginning, no one was different.
Why don't they have dreams? Is it because they don't want to have dreams? Did they not have dreams?
Or is it that for them, dreams only make reality more brutal.
Of course, Al is completely different from that kind of person, and to some extent, Chu Ge is very envious of him.
"Al, you know what......"
Just as Almi was leaving, Chu Ge raised his head slightly and looked at his hands blankly,
"I'm stupid and cowardly......"
This kind of thing has obviously happened once, why did a familiar scene appear in front of me again?
"I'm a weakling."
Even if you are reborn, will tragedies continue to happen?
"Can such a person become a hero?"
