But Wei Pingsheng interrupted:
"You want to be Tao Ran and use the life he exchanged to save more lives. Then every person you save will be the continuation of Tao Ran's life!"
"This will make you feel better, right?"
Ren Jie gritted his teeth, but had nothing to say. He just clenched his fists silently.
Wei Pingsheng smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, do you know that we can't save all the people? As long as the evil disaster still exists in this world, tragedies will continue to happen!"
"Demons are the source of all tragedies. Being a Si Yaoguan cannot prevent the occurrence of demonic disasters. We are just patching up this broken world."
"Being a Demon Suppressor, as long as you keep moving forward, is enough to change the world."
"Become stronger, hunt demons, and contain demon disasters from the source. It will be more valuable than being a Si Yaoguan. Sometimes, killing is also a kind of salvation!"
"Don't waste your talent..."
Ren Jie shook his head:
"What talent do I have? There are many people like me in this world, and there are countless geniuses, including me..."
"I don't think I'm special, nor do I dream of becoming a hero who can save the world. There are people in this world who are excellent, and there are people who are mediocre."
"I just want to be an ordinary person, live well, live my little life down-to-earth, and protect the people I care about. Is this wrong? There is more than just becoming a demon-suppressing officer..."
Wei Pingsheng took a deep breath: "Indeed, this is true, but things in the world are likely to be unsatisfactory. Who can say clearly what the future will be like?"
"You think you have no talent and are not unique, right? Little do you know that everything you have is what so many people desire!"
"Look at those mechanical colonizers, look at those ordinary people who can only follow the crowd, and look at me!"
Ren Jie was startled and looked at Wei Pingsheng in astonishment:
"Uncle Wei? You..."
Wei Pingsheng gave a wry smile, exhaled a puff of smoke, and turned his head to look at the falling sunset, which dyed the sunset on the horizon as bright as blood...
"I am just an ordinary person who has not awakened my abilities. I am too ordinary to be ordinary. When I was young, I also imagined that I could become a divine being, a devil-contracted person, and a genetic warrior, with the power to move mountains and reclaim seas. Go suppress the demonic disaster and change the world."
"But the God of Destiny has never favored me. At the age of 18, I joined Si Yao Hall unwilling to give up. I wanted to try genetic medicine again and give it a try. I wanted to do something ambitious."
"But no matter how much money you spend or how many injections of genetic medicine you put in, you just can't awaken your abilities."
"I long for power, long to become stronger, and long to use this power to change the world, but I don't. I have tried forced reproduction surgery and gene transplantation, but they all failed. I also lost an eye and a liver... "
Pulling open his shirt, a surgical scar is extremely conspicuous...
Ren Jie frowned:
"So...you became a martial artist?"
Wei Pingsheng sighed: "Yes~ This is the only way left for ordinary people like me. I train day and night, learn fighting skills, and dream of being able to take the path of a martial artist and find my own unique way." path of."
"But... it's just a fantasy after all. I'm too ordinary. I'm like an inconspicuous weed. I try my best to grow, but I can't stand out from the vast grassland."
"I thought about leaving Si Yao Hall when I couldn't see a way out, but... you know, after staying for a long time and experiencing too many things, I couldn't bear to leave..."
"My life is not only my own, but also belongs to those deceased comrades. Carrying their unfulfilled wishes, many old people are still in the team, and they all have their own reasons..."
Ren Jie was silent. He had known Uncle Wei for a long time. He usually took care of the family, but this was the first time for him to sit and talk together like this.
Wei Pingsheng looked up at the sky: "I'm not married. I had a girlfriend and we broke up with him. I'm afraid that if I have concerns and longings, I won't dare to fight..."
"But after working hard for most of my life, I haven't achieved any results, but I don't regret it. Even now, I still long for power and want to change the world."
"I want the demon disaster to disappear completely, I want all the demons in this world to retreat, and the world to be prosperous and healthy!"
Ren Jie looked at Wei Pingsheng blankly. When he said this, his eyes were filled with light. Even though he was forty-eight years old, he was still pouring out his dreams like a young man.
Who has never been young?
Wei Pingsheng smiled and said: "But I have looked away now. After this time, I will probably quit. It would be nice to go out fishing, play chess, sit at the gate of the community and brag with the ladies..."
"But...Xiaojie, you are different. You have talent. You have what I have always dreamed of. To be honest, I am jealous of you."
"I am a weed, and I can see the end of my road at a glance, but you are different. You are a sapling. You have the possibility to stand out, grow into a towering tree, shelter the endless weeds from wind and rain, and even open up territory for the human race. of!"
"Don't let your life go to waste. A person's journey in this world can be either spectacular or heart-wrenching, so don't let it go to waste."
After saying that, Wei Pingsheng looked at Ren Jie with expectation and hope in his eyes, and a smile on his face.
Looking at Wei Pingsheng's silhouette, against the backdrop of the setting sun, although he is thin, he looks unusually tall...
This reminded Ren Jie of his father. In his memory, his father's figure had long been blurred, but Wei Pingsheng's figure made him feel familiar...
"I know Uncle Wei, I will consider it..."
Wei Pingsheng patted Ren Jie on the shoulder:
"You brat...you have such a tough mouth."
"Try every possible means to become stronger. Justice without a sense of power will only make those who believe in this justice despair."
"You are different from me. The path chosen by your Uncle Wei has come to an end, and you...have to fly farther than me, do you understand?"
"If Tao Ran knows all this, then he will definitely show it off to me. Look, the kid I rescued is promising, right? Hahahaha..."
"Don't live with guilt. Just like what you said to the child back then. If Tao Ran were alive, he wouldn't want to be like this..."
Ren Jie wiped his nose and nodded heavily, his eyes a little red.
"By the way, Uncle Wei, speaking of this, I have something to ask you. How much do you know about the Class A demonic disaster in Jincheng ten years ago?"
"Remember ten years ago, you also went to support Jincheng with Uncle Tao, right?"
The black pendant that changed his destiny has an extraordinary origin, and may be inseparable from the Jincheng Demonic Disaster ten years ago!
Ren Jie naturally wanted to find out what happened that year. He was only eight years old that year. Although he had personally experienced the demonic disaster, what could an eight-year-old child know?
The memory is a little blurry.
It's not that Ren Jie hasn't checked before, but there is very little useful information.
When he mentioned this, Wei Pingsheng's expression became completely solemn, and there was even a hint of fear in the depths of his pupils that he did not want to recall.
