Returned to the room.

Qianye couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed.

The snores of the other three people around him sounded like drums, making him feel even more upset...

In the end, Kawakiko said nothing.

He just said "take care" and returned to the hall.

Chen Xiaowei was also driven back to her house by him, and everything seemed to be running normally on track.

However, this moving train seems to be constantly dropping things...

When Kawakiko asked in the yard if he would save other people, his thoughts were suddenly pulled into the memory of "Amada High School".

At that time, he was still a "novice instructor", telling others how to survive in the horror world.

At that time.

The same thing happened...

Naiya, who was shorter among the crowd, raised her hand tremblingly and asked Qianye in front of her: "If we are in danger...you, you will save us, right?"

They hope to survive.

I also hope that Qianye, who is capable, can help everyone.

But.

Why?

Qianye's only thoughts at that time were these few words, why.

He can't even take care of himself, so why should he take care of a complete stranger?

He didn't even know whether the other party would stab him in the back.

Take the risk and go to the rescue.

Why is this?

Qianye didn't understand this idea at all from the beginning. He felt that the so-called heroism was just to comfort his heart and make him feel that he was barely human.

Add glory to the heart...

This is something Qianye has always felt was very vain.

after all.

If he were a normal person with no brain damage and could think about this matter rationally, then he would not give up himself in order to obtain the so-called inner vanity.

A hero is just a comfort to numb fools...

"Save? Just give me money, but you don't want to give me money. You just open your mouth and let me go through fire and water. Who are you..."

Chino was inexplicably angry as his thoughts were fighting.

He cursed to himself, not knowing exactly who he was scolding.

In a trance.

The scene in "Mom's World" where everyone fled to Yanta Mountain reappeared in his mind.

The bright moonlight reflected on Qianye's face.

His mood slowly calmed down...

An Zhi's embarrassed appearance on the top of the mountain, covered in blood, appeared again. He held an unburned cigarette in his hand and explained to Qianye the purpose of doing this without thinking.

...

"Aren't people in the organization afraid of death? Hmm...I mean I've learned about your rewards. I don't think the money is enough for a person to sacrifice his life. Although the curse source has special abilities, it's not completely safe, right?"

This is what Chino asked at that time.

Because he cannot understand the so-called righteousness.

I don't understand why some people would rather give up their lives to become a "hero" with no real gains.

He thinks.

People in organizations are stupid.

Those people are a bunch of idiots who have been brainwashed and cannot think for themselves.

Even if you think about it for a moment, you will know that you are going to suffer a loss, but you still have to bear it...

This is so stupid!

"I don't know...Have you ever heard of a kind of spirit? It's the heroic spirit of fearless dedication and sacrifice when necessary. Even if you know you will die, you will not shrink from it. I guess maybe everyone has that kind of spirit in their bones.

The spirit exists..."

This was the stupidest thing An Yu ever said, but Qianye thought it was the stupidest thing.

He still remembers the other person's expression when he said this.

...

"Then how come everyone has this idea? Do you have this so-called spirit?"

"I don't know, but I think...if one day the emergence of the horror world reaches a point where it completely affects reality and requires me to make sacrifices, then I will do it."

...

The answer given by An only.

Qianye felt extremely speechless.

He even thought that with An Zhi's IQ, if he wanted to defraud him, it would be easy.

Time seems to be going back...

Qianye, who was lying on the bed with his eyes open, looked at the ceiling above. The reasons An Zhi had given were echoing in his ears, appearing in his mind word by word...

...

"All right."

"That's what I'm telling you..."

"If one day a disaster strikes and everyone I care about is involved, then I can't possibly let my elderly father deal with it, right?"

"Someone has to step up."

"Since, I happen to have the ability."

"The person who stood up..."

"It would just be me."

...

"And everyone I care about is involved."

"People who stand up."

"It happens to be me..."

Qianye murmured these words in his mouth.

He remembered that half an hour ago, he asked Kawakiko why she was crying.

"Is there someone you care about? Do you want me to save him?"

Since Kawakiko has someone he cares about.

What about yourself?

Is there anyone you care about?

Yuma's figure seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and then disappeared again, replaying in Qianye's mind like a slideshow...

My mind went blank.

It seems that except for Yujian, Qianye really can't think of anyone he cares about.

And slowly, in this blank space, another person's rickety body appeared. Her face was both unfamiliar and familiar.

The kind smile on his face seemed to be asking Qianye.

"How have you been recently..."

She's always like that.

Ever since she was a child, ever since Chino could remember, she had been trying to take care of herself.

After finishing the meal, the bowls were placed in the kitchen. They said they didn't need her to do it and they would take care of it when they woke up. But when they got up the next day, the kitchen had already been tidied up, and even the sunlight shining on it made it look so beautiful.

The most common blame she expressed was why she didn't dress well because it was cold, and why she didn't eat well today.

It’s as if her life belongs to her, and it’s only reasonable for her to get involved no matter what...

Finally, she left.
To be continued...
