Chapter 7: Their Story (7)
A certain Ai didn't know why he was so crazy at the time, so he agreed to the madman's words so easily, and was successfully dragged into the water by him.
However, since he has already agreed, then a certain Ai will never go back, perhaps this is the only advantage of a certain Ai, that is, what he promised, he will definitely do it...... When he didn't enter the world of reincarnation, he was such a person, although he suffered a lot of losses because of this, but a certain Ai didn't plan to change.
And afterwards, a certain Ai also thought about why he was so impulsive at that time......
In that heavy daily life, all Ai can feel is himself who has turned into a walking corpse. That cold, monotonous reality, no fun, no miracles, no hope...... Once upon a time, a certain Ai was also like a second-year teenager, fantasizing that he would encounter a miracle, embark on a different adventure, or change the world or something.
In short, in this cold world that is immutable and refuses to change, any naΓ―ve fantasy will eventually be crushed by reality, erased from all edges and corners, and become ...... In this huge machine called society, an insignificant cog.
Perhaps, the saying that a man is a teenager until he dies is not wrong, no matter how realistic a certain Ai is, but deep in his heart, he may still exist, that self in the second period of secondary school, that absurd and ridiculous fantasy.
The madman gave him a choice, just as Morpheus in the Matrix gave Neo a choice, whether to forget all the blue pills that live in the virtual world, or ...... Wake up from a virtual dream and face the red pill of the hellish cruelty of the real world.
If Ai chooses to give up joining this plan and give up being a pawn of a madman, then he will forget all the memories of coming to this reincarnation world, and continue to live his ordinary, monotonous, boring life full of great pressure, living in a cold world where there will never be miracles and hopes.
So, a certain Ai refused, he made the biggest gamble in his life, putting his life on the madman, and the reward he expected was ...... It's just that I hope to have an ability that can make me no longer ordinary.
Yes, who wouldn't want to be extraordinary? Who doesn't have a hero's dream in their heart? Who doesn't want to be different?
Whether it is the proliferation of superhero blockbusters, or the rise of martial arts and fantasy, it actually shows one thing...... People in the world hope to have an extraordinary and wonderful life.
As for retiring to the rivers and lakes and living an ordinary life, it is also after enjoying the wonderful life of this life, if there is no wonderful life experience, how can this ordinary life be precious?
How many protagonists in fantasy works pretend to say: "Actually, I just want to live an ordinary life......"
As everyone knows, this is such a hypocritical and disgusting word for people who have long been accustomed to ordinary life! If you can exchange it, try it again, the protagonists in these fantasy works who keep saying that they want to live an ordinary life, are they willing to exchange their strength and their extraordinary circumstances to another ordinary person who wants to be extraordinary?
So......
"That's the madman's answer."
After answering the question of bamboo, Ai smoked half of the cigarette in his hand, he flicked the cigarette ash, and then said, "Actually...... Maniacs still have a certain level of understanding for everyone. In his heart, you are the most trusted person among the people he can choose, and there is no one. However, I also said it bluntly...... In fact, what we will do in the future is still dangerous. So, the madman also told me in advance that you have a choice......"
Ai stretched out his index finger, pointed to the rooms around him, and said, "Tonight, a whole night of thinking time." Think about it, and if you don't want to take the risk, you can tell me and I'll let you go back, but you'll forget all memories of this place, as if it never happened. If you want to join the madman's scheme, then ...... There will be no room for regret. β
The doors that Ai refers to, everyone is also a fan of infinite horror, and they are naturally familiar with various settings. Even if they want to turn that room into a palace, it's definitely enough for them to enjoy.
Then, a certain Ai exchanged a sofa from the main god, and leaned on the sofa and smoked slowly...... He knew everyone had to think about it for a while. Moreover, there is no certainty that many people will be willing to join. But one thing is for sure, tonight, it will definitely be lively. And he was ready to sit here all night and wait for them to ask questions.
And the people with cloudy faces gradually dispersed after a certain Ai finished saying this...... However, the curiosity of the dead house and feathers still went to the main god to test it, and successfully contacted the main god, but there were no reward points and side plots, and they could only watch it greedily, and they couldn't exchange anything.
As time passed, everyone eventually chose a room to go into. After all, a certain Ai gave them a whole night to think about it, and no one dared to make a decision like this that was almost related to their future life course, so they had to think about it.
Time passed minute by minute, and a certain Ai who was sitting on the sofa also changed several postures, and finally became Ge You lying down, and at his feet, there were a few empty bottles of fat house happy water and a few hamburger wrappers.
"Ahh
A certain Ai yawned a lot, and the handheld in his hand was also a little hot from his play, calculating the time, it was almost twelve o'clock in the night. If they hadn't slept, they should have come......
Sure enough, just as Ai was thinking like this, a door was opened...... Immediately after, a person walked out of the room and went straight to a certain Ai.
"The first person is really you......" A certain Ai looked at the comer, but he was not surprised at all, as if he had already guessed all this.
"Latte, you still haven't slept so late? Do you have something to look for me? Ai asked.
That's right, the person standing in front of a certain Ai at this moment is the taciturn latte, during the day, he spoke very little, and he never asked a certain Ai any questions, but he was the first to find a certain Ai.
"I want to know, where is the madman now?"
Latte asked this question, and when he asked this question, Latte's expression could be described as engrossed, staring firmly at a certain Ai's face, not letting go of any subtle expression on his face. It is conceivable that this question of latte can be said to have been prepared in my heart for a long time.
In the face of this question, a certain Ai smiled faintly and said, "The madman guessed really not wrong at all......"
"What?" Latte was stunned.
A certain Ai stood up, exchanged for another sofa, patted it, and said, "Don't stand, how tired, sit down and talk." β
Latte was not pretentious, nodded and sat down, but his eyes were still fixed on a certain Ai, trying to get some answer from his face.
"Before I answer this question to you, can I ask you, why do you ask this question?" A certain Ai asked rhetorically.
Latte was silent for a moment, then said, "He disappeared since the madman finished writing his book, and he hasn't been contacted since, and I can't reach him." β
A certain Ai nodded and said, "You haven't thought about it, maybe it's a madman who went to work, or the QQ was lost and replaced with a new QQ, so I didn't have time to contact you, haven't you thought about these possibilities?" β
"I've thought about it......" Latte nodded, "But, I'm still worried about ......"
A certain Ai took a deep breath, then sighed and said, "It's really worthy of being an iron buddy of a madman, and there are really people who care about a friend who has never met." β
"Although we haven't met, we are friends, why can't we care?" Latte asked with a frown, but with a puzzled expression.
"No, nothing...... You're quite right. A certain Ai smiled, he didn't fight for anything on this issue, he knew that he had seen too much over the years, and such pure friendship was rare.
"Don't worry, the madman is fine now." A certain Ai said lightly.
"Are you okay now? What about others? Latte asked, puzzled.
A certain Ai shook his head and said, "I don't know where the madman is now, but he told me that when the time comes, he will appear ......."
"When the time comes......" Latte muttered.
And looking at the latte, a certain Ai couldn't help but think of the words that the madman told him at the beginning...... Whether it's lattes, bamboo, or feathers, the madman has told him some basic information about these people.
Although these materials are just a simple description of their lives, they are enough to make a certain Ai admire, a madman can really get real-world information, he is really awesome. And on these materials, in addition to the biographies, there are also the judgments and analyses of the character of each of them made by madmen.
Like a latte...... His past life was actually quite good, and his past experience was not much different from the life before a certain Ai entered the society, but the latte and the madman were unexpectedly very chatty. So, when a madman writes about a personality analysis about a latte, he also writes the most comprehensive and serious.
The madman said that Latte was a very emotional person, and at the same time, he also had the mentality of a seeker, willing to give up everything in order to pursue his dreams.
Of course, when writing this, the madman also attached a lot of chestnuts, which made a certain Ai even more convincing that in the end, the madman guessed that even if everyone was unwilling to act with a certain Ai, the latte would definitely be willing.
If you want to ask why......
"Because, it's your dream, right?"
A certain Ai muttered while recalling the information of the latte.
"My dream ......" latte was also silent.
A certain Ai looked at the latte and said, "Actually...... You're similar to me, and you have a very unrealistic dream, right? β
Latte didn't answer, but nodded...... Yes, Ai is not wrong, latte has something very similar to him, that is, latte also has a very unrealistic dream.
In Latte's dream, he hopes that he can become a chivalrous man who fights unevenly, and he hopes to be like the hero in martial arts, punishing evil and promoting good, protecting the weak, and the word chivalrous has always existed in his heart.
"I've figured it out."
Latte looked at a certain Ai and said seriously: "I want to join ......"
"Are you sure you've got it figured out? Don't rush to answer me, the time hasn't come yet, and it's too late to talk about it tomorrow morning. A certain Ai said lightly.
"No need......" Latte shook his head and said, "I've thought about it very clearly, and it doesn't make much sense to think about it any longer." It's not just about looking at the madman's face, it's about helping him, and more importantly...... I myself want to be able to have extraordinary power. β
A certain Ai groaned and said, "Do you know that if you want to regret it afterwards, you can't." Because once it starts, even I can't stop it. Therefore, this is a road of no return, and you can only choose to move forward, not backward. β
"Ha......" Latte laughed, he said while laughing, "A certain Ai, you can't help but look down on me too much, right?" If I didn't even have this awareness, I wouldn't be standing in front of you at this moment. β
The latte is gone......
Ai told him that he would announce it tomorrow morning, so Latte went back to bed satisfied. For him to be the first person to decide to join, a certain Ai didn't show too much excitement, after all, this was expected.
In fact, before the start of this plan, a certain Ai was also mentally prepared...... If no one is willing to join, then Ai will have to carry out the plan alone.
Well, now it seems...... There seems to be some hope.
After a while, just as Ai began to fight between her upper and lower eyelids, another person pushed open the door, walked out, and walked straight towards Ai.
A certain Ai's spirit was shocked, looking at the other party's appearance, but he was suddenly stunned, but he didn't expect that the second person ...... It could be him.
"It's going to be this kid......"
A certain Ai muttered quietly in his heart, he thought that the second person who came to him would be a bamboo or a feather, but he didn't expect it to be him......
The person who walked in front of a certain Ai was a ...... who looked to be at most fourteen or fifteen years old Uh, girl? Or rather, teenagers.
He was wearing a neat and tidy high school uniform, his face was white and clean, and there was a hairpin pinned to his hair, which looked like a girl, but the Adam's apple on his throat that began to develop, and the more masculine face on his face still revealed his true gender...... He is male.
