Chapter 462: Beyond the Bottom of the Well
Noisy fragments of thought vibrated in the lamplighter's mind, and the complicated information was forcibly stuffed into his spiritual world by some irresistible existence.
The lamplighter only felt that his head was being pulled and pushed in half with a saw, and then the other party rudely threw a video player into it, and then vigorously buckled the skull.
He couldn't even gather his attention, and under the influence of that sharp pain, the lamplighter instantly lost all control of his body, and could only watch all kinds of brilliant colors appear in front of him.
At first, he couldn't comprehend, or rather, he was still resisting the sights, but slowly, his spirit gradually found a home, as he saw a guy who looked exactly like him.
"Hello, my name is Bobby."
The boy held out his hand.
"I'm a little naughty"
On the other side of the boy, a good-looking girl smiled and shook his hand.
It's just that the girl wears a weird glove on her hand.
The perspective is fixed on the scene where the two teenagers and girls meet, and the whole person who lights the lamp seems to be substituted into it.
He saw a school for superpowered people, called Xavier Academy for Genius Talents, which, unlike Goddockin University, had students who had been living and studying here since childhood.
In this family-like environment, the students who live here have the correct three views since they were young, and they grow up healthily under the guidance of the teachers, so as to master and control their own abilities.
The guy who looks the same as himself is named Bobby, and he is also a superpower, but unlike himself, the other party uses ice energy, and he can release frost directly without any external force.
To the surprise of the lamplighter, he actually saw a person with the same superpower as himself.
It was a blonde boy with the ability to control flames, and the other party also needed a lighter to cast his abilities, and without flames, he was no different from ordinary people like himself.
The picture flashed like a marquee.
He saw Magneto, who wanted to forcibly transform ordinary people into superpowers in order to let superpowers rule the world, and he saw Professor X, who wanted to better integrate superpowers into human society, and did not hesitate to meet his old friends.
At the same time, he also saw that when humans were afraid of superpowers, they created sentinel robots to massacre and destroy the superpowered race, and finally prompted the two leaders to stand on the same side.
The images seemed to have nothing to do with the lamplighter, but for some reason, he was able to find his own shadow in them.
What is a hero?
The lamplighter hung his head and gasped.
He only felt that his mind was in a mess now, and all kinds of emotions kept coming out, and countless emotions collided with memories, making it impossible for him to conceive the problem at all.
"I just want my father to be proud of me"
So said the lamplighter.
Zhang Yu, who was standing in front of the lamplighter, did not speak, but stood calmly, staring at the poor man who was in the midst of the collapse of the three views under him.
After a pause, the lamplighter continued.
"I was a genius when I was a kid, you know, like a child prodigy, I awakened my abilities at a very young age and burned down my family's house, and my father was very excited at the time, he thought I was the chosen one.
Since then, he's been training me on how to make my superpowers stronger, and the more I burn, the happier he gets, and I just want to make him happy, that's all. ”
Speaking of this, the lamplighter slowly raised his head, he looked at Zhang Yu, and said in a deep voice.
"Does justice and evil matter to a child, my childhood was spent on burning ruins, and I can't go back."
"It's never too late to go to school, as long as you want to, you can take another path, a path that truly belongs to a hero." Zhang Yu opened his mouth flatly. "Didn't you see that too, heroes from other universes?"
"Yes, they" The lamplighter's eyes were stunned, as if he was recalling what he had just seen and heard.
Bobby, Naughty, Storm Girl, Logan. The lamplighter suddenly wants to exchange lives with himself in another world, if he was born there, if he had such a group of family and friends, would the result be different?
After pondering for a long time, his eyes refocused, and he asked directly at Zhang Yu.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Let's reintroduce it." Zhang Yu casually untied the lamplighter's handcuffs, and then replied. "I'm a witch crow, a scavenger from another alternate universe."
Listening to Zhang Yu's words, the lamplighter showed an expression that was indeed so.
If it was before, he would never have believed that this guy in front of him was a visitor from a parallel universe, for the lamplighter, the parallel universe only existed in the material that the director made for the purpose of shooting the movie.
Whenever the directors encounter a bottleneck in their thinking, whenever the hero's story cannot continue to unfold, they will always pull out the so-called parallel universe to continue to fry cold rice, promote popularity, and harvest the last trace of traffic from fans.
So in the eyes of the lamplighter, the parallel universe is just a joke.
But now it's different, after seeing the memories that Zhang Yu passed on to him, he became curious about the world outside the world for the first time since he was a child.
The same superpowers, the same environment, why, why did the world embark on this dark and deep path.
"Did you find out?"
Zhang Yu patted him on the shoulder and spoke.
"Although I hate to say this, the growth of any hero is a matter of going through all kinds of hardships, and superheroes are not a job or a profession for them, that is their responsibility."
Hearing this, the lamplighter seemed to have an understanding in his heart, he gritted his teeth lightly, only felt that an inexplicable anger welled up in his body, and now he just wanted to vent.
What bullshit Walter Group, what bullshit Super Seven, I have paid half my life, but what have I got, nothing, emerging superpowers wave after wave, I am just garbage that has been eliminated.
His own efforts became empty talk at this moment.
In order to protect the privacy of the Walter Group, in order to solve the problems of those who hinder the development of the Walter Group, how many black jobs have they done and how many innocent people they have killed.
Damn, my goal is to be a superhero!
Everything has changed, the dignified lamplighter, the member of the Super Seven, is nothing more than a dog of the Walter Group in the end, and he is like a dispensable pawn who will be abandoned at any time.
Does anyone care about their thoughts, does anyone care about their emotions?
When they fall into guilt for accidentally killing Mallory's grandchildren, what everyone else is doing, whether it's the Watts or their own father, they don't care at all, as if they are not as important as they think.
There is no shortage of superpowers in this world, and there is no shortage of heat, for the Walter Group, I don't want to continue to do it, and there are countless people who want to climb up.
anyway
The next one is more obedient, isn't it?
"You said your goal was to make your father proud of you, but in fact, he didn't use you as a tool.
All parents are the same, and when they accept the Walter Group's agreement, they are left with nothing but expectation and oppression for their children.
There is no one who does not want their children to become the dragon and phoenix of people, but in the midst of this, they seem to have forgotten how to raise their children to be useful people in society. ”
After a pause, Zhang Yu looked directly at the lamplighter and asked.
"Tell me, what's your mind right now?"
"Me"
The lamplighter muttered to himself, and he sighed heavily and shook his head.
"I want my father to give me back my childhood."
