Chapter 8: Passing the Fire Superman
"Hope?" Jiangbei was a little confused, "What does that mean?" ”
The girl thought for a moment: "It refers to the vision of the future, a good wish or ideal, or the object of ideal pinning." Generally refers to the motivation of a beautiful spiritual life, which drives people to be optimistic about the psychological state of the future......"
"Stop, I didn't say I wanted to look it up in the dictionary, of course I know what that word means." Jiang Bei made a pause gesture, "I mean...... What does that mean in our hands? What does it have to do with helping me stay alive? ”
"Well, we have to start with the source of our ability."
"Isn't it the plot that your home planet is almost finished, and then someone put you in a rocket and launch you here? Wait a minute, you won't have a cousin who prefers to wear underwear, right? ”
The girl looked at him with a strange expression: "How did you make up this kind of setting?" ”
“...... Nothing, you continue. Jiang Bei sat down with his waist covered.
"This power is unlike anything else your world knows about. Many of the other transcendental fragments come from the 'abyss', the product of fragments leaked out of God's power that have been floating in the endless abyss for a long time, and have been revealed to this world by extreme chance. ”
Jiang Bei was stunned when he heard it. This seemingly incomprehensible state reminded him of a high math class in college, where the professor was sweating profusely on top, and the students were not moving at all, and at the end of the day, there was nothing in their stomachs.
"Hey, is it that your worldly concept of transcendence is hidden from the common people? It doesn't matter, you just need to know that our abilities are very different from the inferior imitations we get from the fragments.
This ability is a truly great miracle called for by the strong anticipation and longing cry of all the survivors in a desperate world. ”
The girl's face turned small, and her pretty face became unprecedentedly serious. That appearance made Jiang Bei feel like a devout believer who was explaining the doctrine for no reason.
"This power is a torch that has been given to the explorers in the dark, passed from one person to another, and passed down from generation to generation.
It is an ideal of endeavor that makes the people who all gather in the firelight follow closely behind.
But one day, the Guardians will stand side by side with this light.
One day, with its help, the Guardians will be able to create their own miracles. ”
Jiangbei was silent for a long time, as if recalling the meaning of these words and the burden that comes with this power. Until he finally couldn't hold back his mouth.
"Well, I always think it's a bit of a disruption at this time, but I really want to ask...... Does this have anything to do with helping me resurrect the corpse?
It's not that I want to interrupt, it's just that I really don't want to become a hyena......"
Jiangbei: This is a heartfelt statement. Although that sounds lofty, if he is put in a hero movie with a sensational BGM or something, he may really be instigated, but he still cares more about his own life than that noble and great ideal.
The girl pouted, "Of course." You've noticed that your library value has gone up, right? ”
Jiangbei nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"So what I just told you is how this power is driven. It was conceived in response to the strong desire of the Guardians, so naturally it needs the same thing to feed back in order to maintain its existence and become stronger and stronger.
And the fuel created through this ability has a direct impact on the value of the present world. On the one hand, it will help you to better integrate and use this power, and on the other hand, it will also continue to extend the remaining life of you in this life until you are fully resurrected. ”
This time, Jiangbei felt that he seemed to understand.
Human light, right? This is easy to understand, I would have understood it earlier.
It feels a bit like an alternative faith, as if the gods are trying to draw faith from believers and turn it into energy. It's just that it's different from this traditional belief model, and it's more like people's longing and trust in Superman's "S", and it's a bit like the citizens in the tokusatsu drama when he was a kid charging Ultraman with flashlights.
Jiangbei took a deep breath and began to feel the pressure.
Supergirl tells him that he only has two weeks to a month left, and he is not sure. But all he had to do was earn as much library value as he could before the time expired. The higher the reservoir value, the longer he can live.
Until one day, if the library value he earns can't keep up with the speed of life consumption, then he may have to go back and be reborn as a hyena after the end of the flowers.
"You really don't remember what you're here for?" He couldn't help but ask again.
Not only did he pick up the opportunity to come back from the dead, but he also came with a superhuman experience card from the bunker, which made Jiangbei more and more uneasy. It's like suddenly having 10 million more in your account, and the money is hot to spend.
"I don't remember...... But it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. The girl said leisurely, a slender white leg resting on the armrest of the sofa very unfiguratively, "As long as you continue to increase the value of the library, the power we share will gradually become stronger." I'm sure I'll remember it then...... Presumably. ”
As he spoke, he ate his snack again, and he didn't seem to be thinking about it at all.
Jiangbei: "......"
That's it.
If such a superhuman girl suddenly fell from the sky in the past, he didn't want to give away superpowers for nothing, and he didn't dare to accept it. But now he doesn't seem to have the option to refuse.
Jiang Bei put aside those headaches for the time being: "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." ”
"Name?"
The girl blinked, frowned and thought for a moment.
"Hmm...... So what do you think I'm called? ”
Jiangbei was speechless for a while, wondering what your name is, can you still ask me?
"Oops, it's a nuisance. Think about it, this ability happened to be the seventh generation in my hands, so you can call me Xiao Qi. ”
Jiangbei: "......"
"It doesn't matter what it's called. Listen, what's next is the priority. ”
Seeing Xiao Qi's expression become serious again, Jiangbei couldn't help but brace his breath, like a general who was ready to meet the holy decree.
“..... I'm hungry. Xiao Qi's mouth was deflated, and he pointed to the potato chips and biscuits on the table, which were already only wrapped in bags, "I want to eat." ”
Jiangbei: "............"
There is a saying that people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. After she mentioned it like this, Jiangbei realized that she seemed to be hungry, but she didn't notice it just now when her attention was on her poor waist.
Indeed, you still have to eat anyway. In particular, the physical exertion of the activity just now is really not small, and it seems that replenishing energy is indeed more important than before.
Jiangbei picked up his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway from Golden Arches. In a few moments, the takeaway was delivered to the door.
Hamburg is also a novelty for Xiao Qi. She tentatively bit off a piece, chewed it twice, and then her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world.
"This is delicious!" Xiao Qi was happy, "Sure enough, I didn't save the wrong person!" ”
Jiangbei was also munching on burgers and fried chicken, feeling as if he had never been so hungry in his life.
His intuition told him that if he reactivated the suit in his current state, he might really collapse and hang up. So although the Superman experience card is very cool, it still seems that it can't be used casually. Indeed, as Xiao Qi said, he is not long-lasting enough at present, and he will have to recover for a while if he uses it once.
In order to ensure that there is no embarrassing situation where the skill is on the CD when you need to go into battle, the use time of the Superman Experience Card needs to be reasonably planned.
"By the way, you try this."
Jiang Bei took out two cups of milk tea from the bag, one iced and one hot. He handed the cup of ice to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi took a sip and showed a somewhat indescribable expression.
"It's good ice, it's hard." She said disgustedly, "It doesn't taste good." ”
"Oh, I guess I got ice cubes." Jiang Bei smiled, "I said that milk tea should be drunk hot, but I heard that girls love ice." It's better to taste when it's hot......"
He shut up as he spoke.
Because he suddenly found that Xiao Qi's eyes were not quite right when he looked at him.
“......”
After a while, Xiao Qi took a big sip of hot milk tea with his small mouth on the straw. White were sucked down the tube and into her mouth.
Supergirl smiled happily and contentedly: "This is delicious!" ”
Jiang Bei on the side held the iced milk tea and took a sip carefully.
"Hiss~"
What a special ice.
