Every child dreams of becoming a hero.
Possessing strength and wisdom beyond ordinary people, mastering unique and magical skills, and preferably adding a little danger and bohemian character that can be accepted by the public, a hero who can only exist in the imagination of children appears. .
Since the emergence of writing, stories about this kind of imagination have always existed in human society and have been passed down along with civilization. There seems to be no difference between the myths and legends of ancient times and the novels and literature of today, except for the cultural differences caused by time. They both tell stories that only exist in the mind.
Age is not an obstacle, only the direction of fantasy changes. The story imagined by a child may be completely different from the story imagined by an adult, but the spirit they place in their fantasy and the concept they want to express are fundamentally consistent, which is a desire for a better self and a more perfect self. yearning for life.
It is like a rootless fire that is suddenly ignited, giving motivation to oneself in the real world in the virtual world, allowing one to look at the future more calmly and ambitiously.
This world has always been so childish, and human beings will remain young until they die.
But all this is based on "peace".
When a person, a spirit is trapped in pain, tightly wrapped in darkness and coldness and even breathing becomes a sin, what he fantasizes about in his mind is not the story of becoming a hero, but the hope that a ray of light can shine in. In your own world, out of the sea of suffering.
Even if it is just a light that only exists in imagination.
Throughout the history of the earth, the word "war" has been written everywhere, and peace has become the most valuable luxury item possessed by almost every modern person. In this long dark age, when human life is as light as grass, the desire to be saved is the most mainstream thought in the human fantasy world.
At that time, human beings were dissatisfied with the status quo of being oppressed but were powerless to change the reality. They could only place their hopes in illusions, hoping that God would save them and end their suffering.
As time goes by, more and more people think this way, and the imaginary stories become more and more grand and profound, even reaching the point where they can control people's hearts. Therefore, it becomes easier and easier for the rulers to control the people at the bottom, and their desires become better tools for the oppressors to rule.
The most typical example is the history of the church, which is why the story of the desire to be saved is more "official" and more "orthodox" than the story of the desire to be a hero.
Also broader.
When he first arrived in the snowfield, the young Xing Yihuang fantasized about leaving here on his own strength, leaving this land full of pain. But under the constant blow of reality, the little girl buried this innocent idea in her heart, and she longed for someone to save her instead of saving herself.
But the light that split the darkness did not come, and Xing Yihuang himself walked out of the quagmire. Although life in the snowfield was painful, she had to admit that it was this pain that gave her the opportunity to leave the snowfield.
The body has come out, but the soul remains in the shadows. It's just that at this time, Xing Yihuang no longer fantasized. The desire to be saved and the desire to become a "god" were buried deep in his heart, and he became a walking zombie living on the earth.
Just like so many people in this world.
But fate always likes to play tricks on people. He allowed this little girl to taste all the suffering, but when her soul became dim, He sent someone to save her.
Valentine's appearance is not as majestic as the protagonists in so many novels, shining like a meteor that can burn the entire world and knocking away the shadow that shrouded Xing Yihuang's heart. Instead, he stumbles all the way. When he got to her side, he looked a little embarrassed.
But at least, his appearance made the girl who was like an ice cube feel a little warmth. It didn't reach the point of tearing apart reality, but it also melted the coldness in Xing Yihuang's heart to a certain extent.
Just like when I was hunting, I was in the endless snowy field. Everything I could see was white and the night was brightly illuminated by the snow. The roars of wolves in the distance echoed in my ears.
At this time, the only thing that could bring me a sense of warmth and security was the bonfire in front of me. Although the flame is very small and seems to be extinguished at any time, it still burns tenaciously and glows, as if there is still hope in life.
At that time, Valentine woke up the lifeless Xing Yihuang, held her hand and walked forward with a torch, talking about what to do when dawn came. Later, their footsteps became faster and faster, the torches in their hands became brighter and brighter, and many of the emotions they had buried were dug out, covering their bodies like armor to resist new dangers.
After leaving Rhine Life, Xing Yihuang encountered more severe conditions than in the snowfield, but at this time she was no longer as numb as a corpse, because someone held her hand and faced her side by side. Faced with the immediate threat, we overcame the difficulties together and moved forward together.
Even when Tallulah choked her, the blazing flames enveloped her, and the high temperature and thick fog destroyed her spirit, the soul of Xing Yihuang, who was trampled under her feet, did not have any doubts about Valentine. Staring at the distance that he couldn't see, waiting for his arrival.
After so many years, Xing Yihuang still longs for someone to save him from the darkness. But the difference from then was that someone would really come to save her.
That man was like a shooting star that shone so brightly that it could burn the entire world. It cut through the black sky. The thunder that split apart like a spider web seemed to tear everything around into pieces like the sharpest sword. The majestic momentum was like a natural disaster coming.
It's just that natural disasters can only bring destruction and despair, but what grows wantonly in this ball of thunder is the vitality that protects countless lives.
Amid the roars of him and the thunder, light fell from the sky, shining on the land and illuminating Xing Yihuang's heart.
That was the savior she longed for, the life she hoped for. She placed all her feelings on that figure, the person who approached her, warmed her, and treated her sincerely.
Valentine.
————————I’m really at a loss for words————————
What Xing Yihuang saw in his eyes was not an existence that was affected by strong emotions and was equivalent to an illusion, but a real fact.
Today's weather in the core city is as gloomy as when Chernobog was captured. Standing on the top of the tower and looking up, all you can see besides the continuous flames are thick cumulus clouds, as dark as Tombstones seem to announce someone's death.
Judging from the roar from the boy's mouth, which was more ferocious than Tallulah's flames, it was obvious who this tomb was for.
Talulah's blade did not kill Xing Yihuang, because Valentine's lightning was injected into the girl's body again, helping her withstand this fatal attack. At the same time, a thunder gun slammed into the ground beside Xing Yihuang, and then dispersed on the ground like a tide and disappeared.
When she heard those words, Tallulah jumped back and hid within a safe range, avoiding the danger of being hit by the thunder gun. But when she saw the solid lightning rod and the 'Valentin' landing next to Xing Yihuang, she frowned slightly and held the sword in her hand tightly.
Just like the hero in the story, Valentine's appearance this time is full of special effects. In addition to the 'Thunder Armor' that had just appeared during the battle in the command tower, a pair of huge wings sprouted from the boy's back, which were exactly the same as the dragon wings on his back.
Those were two wings composed entirely of thunder and lightning. Together with the thunder gun just now, the shock to Tallulah was even greater than seeing the forested core city.
As we all know, lightning is not an object, and its existence form cannot be simply distinguished by solid, liquid, and gas. It is a kind of energy that needs to be packaged in a container.
But judging from the thunder gun that had just penetrated deeply into the ground and the wings that were flying Valentine to the top of the core tower, this boy had solidified lightning and could even use it to kill enemies...
Incredible.
The appearance of forests can also be explained by the fact that they are all matter, and the existence of animals can also be explained, and can be regarded as clones of the spirit behind them. But what about this kind of thing that violates the laws of physics?
Kosich looked at Valentine not far away, and his heart sank.
He felt right. This ordinary Vaifan's body did contain unimaginable things that even history was unwilling to record, although what he had released now was very limited.
But this limited power is enough to kill himself.
Kosiche didn't know whether Valentin could directly erase himself from Tallulah's body or directly kill himself and Tallulah together, but no matter which way, the final result was death.
He could threaten Chen and the people of Rhode Island with Tallulah's life, but this guy in front of him...
This method is of no use at all.
The Origin Stone skill clearly told him how much hatred this Vaifan man had in his heart.
Half of it was because of Qicheng, and half of it was because of the dragon tribesman.
Koscich lowered his sword to his side and stared at the two men, thinking about countermeasures.
After landing, Valentin ignored the final boss. He turned around and squatted down to help Xing Yihuang up. The wings on his back disappeared, and the lightning armor on his body also dimmed a little, as if the thunder had melted into Xing Yihuang's body, washing away the fatigue and pain accumulated in her body, allowing her to return to her peak state. .
Xing Yihuang looked at the familiar person in front of him and wanted to say something. As soon as the words reached his throat, he saw Valentine let go of his shoulders and took a step back, keeping a polite distance.
"I'm very sorry."
The boy spoke, his words filled with uncontrollable sadness and apology.
It was as if he wasn't the one standing here at this moment.
Xing Yihuang looked at Valentine in front of him and suddenly realized something. As if he had read her mind, 'Valentin''s whole person became illusory, his body began to expand, and the pair of thunder wings appeared behind him again.
In just one second, the short Vaifan turned into a bipedal flying dragon with blue electric current flowing all over its body. Only the two horns on its head looked familiar to Xing Yihuang.
She recognized this dragon as the spirit behind Valentine.
Gold and black faced each other, and all the regret in Feilong's eyes was transmitted into Xing Yihuang's eyes. Her lips were slightly parted and she stared blankly at the dragon in front of her. She raised her hand to touch the scales on his slender neck. Her mind was filled with memories of herself and Valentine.
The unique roughness of dragon scales was imprinted on Xing Yihuang's fingertips, but it quickly disappeared. The huge flying dragon standing in front of her turned into a thick thunder and flowed into Xing Yihuang's body the moment it was touched. At the same time, a voice appeared in her ears.
"I'm sorry, Yihuang."
She knew it all too well.
"I'm so sorry for leaving you just now when you needed me most."
"But there's no way, Raphael needs me more."
really.
It's that angel.
"The threat in front of her was life-threatening, and I had no choice but to save her."
"But I haven't forgotten you either."
"I can't go up to the control tower anymore. I want to stay down below to help Rhode Island eliminate threats and protect Raphael."
"So I asked my back spirit to help you. With him, you no longer have to worry about being injured or dying."
"I believe that with the help of the spirit behind you, as well as Officer Chen and Amiya, you will defeat Tallulah."
"You will always be the best girl in my heart."
"I will wait for you below, and we will return to Rhode Island together after the mission is over."
"I will never forget the promise I made."
There are very few messages, just these few sentences. But in these words, Xing Yihuang felt Valentine's sincerity towards him and no longer concealed it.
Of course she understood the boy's feelings for her, but he never expressed them, he just kept them buried deep in his heart. This was the first time.
The boy holding the torch and walking in front turned around and hugged himself for the first time, heart-to-heart.
Xing Yihuang felt the warmth rising in his heart and clenched his fists. She longs for a savior, but her dream of becoming a hero and tearing apart injustice has not been lost, it is just buried deep in her heart.
But now, this fantasy has been dug out by her and Valentine together, and it can be realized.
No one wants to bring the world to its knees.
