Chapter Twenty-Three: The Weight of a Hero
"It's a strange mission, except for task one, the success rewards of the first and second main stories are higher than the failure rewards, which is not in line with the conventions of the light sphere world. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info is it a reminder that we can give up on the task? β
Without having time to think about it, at the main entrance of the school, a fifteen-meter-tall black oval creature moved his fluid-like body towards this side. It crushed the school emblem directly in front of it, the hideous white mask was fixed at the top end, as if locked in by a black fluid layer, and there was a red light flickering under a pair of hollow all-black pupils on the mask, like a bottomless deep hole, with a pointed nose protruding outward, and below the nose were two rows of neat teeth, no lips, just exposed to the air like that, looking extremely hideous.
"Run!"
After Li Zhi saw the huge size of the void, he grabbed Zhang Yihan beside him and ran outside the classroom without thinking about it, at this time, whoever didn't run was a fool. A behemoth like this can destroy the school building with a casual wave of its hand, and if it stays on it, it will be properly sent to death.
Zhang Yihan didn't want to run away, and shouted, "Wait! We're going to save them! β
"Are you a fool? This is the first one, and there are many more to come, and the people in the school are bound to die. β
"But ......"
"Don't do it, look ahead, it's not just these people you want to save, you're the savior!"
"I'm ......" Zhang Yihan pushed Li Zhi away, and jumped from the bottom of the stairs to the upper floor in a few steps.
"I'm going to save her at least!" Zhang Yihan jumped on the handrail quickly, avoiding the crowd, and under the panicked shouts of the students, he quickly found the helpless person hiding in the crowd, the shining point that could not be covered by the crowd.
"Piano !!"
Zhang Yihan shouted, stepped on the head of a big fat man lightly, and grabbed the girl behind the fat man, this girl has short hair, a small round face, a little fat, but looks quite cute, and now this small figure is helplessly pushed in the crowding wave.
The girl's name is Zhang Qin, a girl in the liberal arts class, a girl he doesn't know.
Like other boys, Zhang Yihan also has his goddess, the object of his fantasy, such a hot and sincere crush.
He didn't know her, only her name, and even the name was only accidentally learned during a classmate's conversation. Zhang Qin didn't know him, naturally he was like other little boys, Zhang Yihan always wanted to behave well in front of her and let her notice herself. I have fantasized countless times that she will pay attention to herself and will have the same thoughts as herself.
Zhang Yihan likes to dream of being a hero, in addition to his resistance to ordinary life, there is also another reason, that is, only by becoming a hero can he get the attention of others, and he can unswervingly choose her under the attention of all people, and loudly announce to the world that he loves her.
In fact, it is a pale fantasy, a beautiful fantasy of teenagers, even if you know that it is impossible in your heart, you will still fantasize over and over again, imagine such a picture, and indulge in the soaring under the fictional scene.
Although fantasy is fantasy, it is beautiful and naturally bitter.
And now, he has the power, the possibility of becoming a hero, and the possibility of his fantasy becoming a reality.
How could he give up, how could he give up!
"I'm here to save you!"
Zhang Yihan grabbed Zhang Qin's hand, and the corners of his mouth rose upward.
A cry from his soul roared from within his heart, and he wanted to shout, shouting to the whole world, "You belong to me." β
"Jean! No! β
When Zhang Yihan was about to rescue Zhang Qin from the crowd, a tall boy in the physical education class ran out and grabbed Zhang Qin's hand.
Zhang Qin still couldn't understand the current situation, a strange man suddenly grabbed her, she didn't understand, but now she knew very well what to do.
"Joon." Zhang Qin turned around and handed her hand to the boy in the physical education class, and under her struggle, Zhang Qin fell into the crowd and was picked up by the boy named Jun in the crowd, and the two pushed the crowd and ran downstairs.
"Is it just a fantasy......" Zhang Yihan understood, he was just an idiot with empty fantasies, and he never dared to tell about his crush, the so-called beauty was just an outer illusion loaded on bitterness. She has her own independent life and her own love, but the object is not him, and there are not so many feelings in the world, if you don't fight for it, you have nothing.
He didn't fight for it, he just fantasized about it, so he lost the possibility of the future. Now that he has the ability, he can rob it, but when he snatches it, the beauty in his heart will also be completely destroyed, and all that remains is the feelings and ugly derivatives that come from deception.
Li Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Understand? β
Zhang Yihan nodded and said bitterly: "Is this the reality?" β
"Reality is not the same as cruelty, it's just that reality can't be as perfect as fantasy, but reality is reality because every choice we make can affect it and make changes. Nowadays, you have the ability to change, and she is a fantasy, and giving up on her is also a turning point for you to give up your illusions and be down-to-earth. β
Li Zhi sighed: "Zhang Yihan, you are a hero. Heroes are never an easy thing, they are not the product of holding ridiculous hero dreams, simply thinking about being admired by thousands of people, and being obscene. Heroes are cruel, they are determined to die, they are willing to give everything for the people, for everything they want to protect, whether it is life or soul, they are all sacred, and they gamble everything on it! β
"The title of hero is heavy and unbearable for mortals. If you want to be a hero, you must first let go of the ego and put the collective spirit above the individual. It's cruel and difficult, but it's something that heroes have to go through. β
Zhang Yihan slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them slowly, and what was revealed in his eyes was responsibility, "I know, only by sacrificing the small self can the big self be achieved." I used to be so naΓ―ve, in my ridiculous fantasy, I was a hero, I didn't need much to give, I just had power, and I saved everyone. I can gain respect, I can gain the love of others, I can gain fame, I can gain status. Who wouldn't want to be such an easy hero? It's just an ordinary person with power, and he just helps everyone within the scope of his ability, so he can be called a hero. β
"A very childish hero, just a product of obscenity."
"I can understand the kind of hero you are talking about, the reason why a hero deserves the title of hero is not because his ability is stronger than others, but because he is beyond his ability, pays a price that ordinary people can't afford, sacrifices his life for others, and has the determination to dedicate himself. Such a person can be called a hero, a hero is heavy, and people's respect for him depends on his dedication. β
"Although the real hero is far from what I imagined, I am still willing to be it. Maybe this is my mission, even if I will be crushed in the end, even if I will never be reborn, I want to burn my life, fight against my original ordinary, and achieve the superego. β
"I'm going to be a hero, I'm going to save the world!"
