Overturned Tower

"Why...apologize...?"

"I'm late."

Stretch said softly and calmly: "If I lost a few seconds on the road, if I ran two steps faster...you wouldn't be so scared because of it."

"...Mr. Hang, very gentle."

Don't disgust me--

Such a response immediately appeared in Strangling's mind.

If someone else said this, he would say it without hesitation.

But he was silent for a while, and just sighed: "Only a person who can't do anything, people will boast of his gentleness.

"I want to be strong more than gentle. If I am strong enough, I can eradicate all tragedies. No one will have to leave me."

This is the truth.It's from his heart.

The strangulation did not offend the mother's death on the inferiors of the past.Even if the direct cause of that incident was precisely because the bad guy led the executive department to wipe out the uncoded ones, but the root cause of that incident was the fault of strangling himself.

And he couldn't escape with his mother, he couldn't be feared by the company like the godfather and didn't dare to attack, he couldn't defeat the inferior in a frontal battle... that's why the tragedy happened.

He didn't have much affection for his mother, and even had some hatred.But after all, that person is "closer to himself than others", but her departure has already made Hangsha feel an unforgettable pain.

——Because of this, Strangling has never dared to have real friends.

Every time he meets a friend worthy of giving his sincerity, he will take the initiative to take a step back.Frankly tell the other party why you fell in love with the other party, what is your bottom line, and under what circumstances is he likely to betray the other party—if you say this directly before the relationship is good enough, you will block the relationship. the way to further development.

Although Hang Sha said that it was because of his pride and disdain to betray others without warning...

But only hang himself knew that it was because of his cowardice.

Even his mother, who was not so close to him, would bring him such pain...

Then if I really meet a brother who can give his life, and someone who can really fall in love, but he can't protect him...

Strangling couldn't imagine how painful it would be.

Because of this, he cunningly chose to retreat, and timidly chose to escape.

He did not reject the friendship of others, but made a declaration of betrayal in advance.In this way, if he has to abandon the other party and flee for his life, he will not feel guilty about it; if his friend dies in front of him, he will not feel pain and regret.

——Because they are not that familiar.

Because the possibility between them has been personally cut off by the strangulation.

It's like a student who is worried that he didn't do well in the exam, and he will keep saying "I failed this exam".In this way, when the exam really fails, it will not be hit too much.

Just like a teenager who had a premonition that he was going to break up in love, he began to act nonchalantly, pretending to be indifferent to his feelings.As if treating him like this, he changed from being dumped to being dumped, and it wouldn't be so painful.

Because strangling is afraid of your own powerlessness.He no longer wants to apologize to the air.

Because Mahavira didn't want to be like a child anymore, crying and questioning his own powerlessness.

Because he is not like his own name, can become a "great hero".He doesn't deserve that brilliant name.He is not that strong, able to save the people he wants to save.

He just strangled.

"Because I'm not strong enough."

Hang Kill clenched his fists and said softly, "Even you... I'm not [-]% sure that I can save you."

Because of this, he can only be strangled.

Chapter 75 Thus Said Mahavira

It was clearly the sun at noon, but Hang Sha felt a chill in his heart.

... For some reason, when he gets along with Xiaoya, he always thinks of the pain of the past.

Thinking of my mother hugging me with a smile, thinking of what I have learned showing off in my mother's arms, thinking of the worries hidden in the smile on my mother's face...

Thinking of the strawberry cake that fell to the ground that day, thinking of her dying cry.

——So much so that he remembered his own name.Hated by him, loathed by him... a name that he feared and separated from.

great hero.

Am I worthy?

I have a few.

No matter how lame a hero is, he will never be unable to save even one person.

He didn't even dare to mention his name to others... If he did, he would definitely be asked curiously, "Since you are called a 'great hero', who have you saved?"

He dreaded that question.

The answer is zero.

In the end, "strangling" can't save anyone, not even yourself.People around him died one after another, and the things he valued withered one after another.He feels nothing but his own weakness and incompetence.

Because of his weakness, he never dared to promise anything; because of his incompetence, he never dared to put his true wishes on the stage and tell others about his goals.In this way, he can retain his last dignity from infinite failures...

"……not like this."

The girl with long golden wavy hair and dark blue eyes shook her head vigorously with tears in her eyes.

She listened to Hang Hang's self-deprecating words, but she burst into tears.

The wound hurts... There was an increasingly clear burning pain from the broken part of the tail.

But she didn't cry out of pain.I just feel a little inexplicably wronged because of it.

And this kind of grievance, when Hang Hang lowered his head and complained about himself, turned into sadness and welled up in his eyes.

"You saved me... through the severe pain after the operation, you saved me who was useless..."

Xiaoya whimpered: "I am the one who is useless..."

She could feel the self-mockery in Hang Ling's heart inexplicably, and she was angry because of this—angry at the past pain that was always entangled with her benefactor, and also resonated with her own incompetence.

——She can understand the mood of strangulation.

Because she is also so weak, so incompetent.When she is attacked, she must be rescued by others.Like a princess kidnapped by a demon in a fairy tale.

But she is not a princess after all.

She didn't have a father who was a king, she didn't have money, and she wasn't cute enough.She is just an ornamental fish that no one wants and has nothing to offer.She can't fight, she doesn't have psionic power, and she can't awaken the power of the Holy Order.

But even so, she was always loved and protected by people.The people who helped her died one after another, and she witnessed the death of one old man who loved her...

The more so, the more guilty she felt.Because she can't do anything decent in return, she can only do her best to help others.In this way, I hope that my incompetent self can repay the kindness of others for helping me as much as possible before I die.

Because of this, she can clearly feel that the essence of strangulation is the same as hers.

He was just a little more careful than himself... because he had suffered a deeper injury and instinctively wanted to protect himself.That's why he hides his soft essence inside the hard shell.Over time, he even forgot himself.

"Mr. Hang... At this moment, you are my hero!"

Strangled's pupils shrank slightly.His finger touching Xiaoya's hair retracted like an electric shock.

Without hesitation, Xiaoya used her last strength to express her heart: "Even if I am the only one who will remember your kindness... I will never forget it. There is a person whose operation has not been completed In pain, he rushed over and saved me who had nothing to do with him from the gunpoint.

"I will never forget it until I die! I will never, never forget it!"

She shouted with all her might.

But even so, her voice was still not loud.Her voice was like a murmur in the night because of her weakness.The sound of explosions outside covered many of her words... but she hoped that the strangulation could hear only this sentence.

Just by shouting these words, she would feel dizzy and feel the severe pain from her severed tail—but she still tried her best, hoping that the strangulation could sense her sincerity.

Because she already felt it, her consciousness began to recede.If it wasn't for the fear of death before, she might be in a coma now.But being frightened like this once before made her spirit up again.

Now that this obsession dissipated, she felt that she might fall asleep at any time.

If you fall asleep this time, you may not be able to wake up.

So no matter what, she had to convey her heart to Mr. Hang before falling asleep.

Otherwise, she will definitely regret it—she will regret it to death!

"……what."

Hanging opened his mouth, wanting to say a lot, but didn't say anything.

Only then does he hate his own reticence and regret his lack of culture.

"……thanks."

He was silent for a long time, but he could only say in a low voice: "Thank you for believing in me...

"No, don't waste time—your wound still needs to be treated."

He was now indifferent to why the fight was fought.

He picked Xiaoya up from the ground, hugged her sideways in his arms, and was careful not to touch the base of her broken tail.

This is much simpler than he imagined... He never thought that Xiaoya would be so light.

Is this what a girl of this age should weigh?

Or did she become like this because she lacked a big tail?

Hanging hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the tail from the ground and put it on his shoulder.

He didn't know if he could take it back.In any case, take it first and then talk, anyway, he is not too heavy.

And Xiaoya, who was held in his arms by the strangler, suddenly left the cold floor, and Xiaoya's body temperature became very low, even making her feel scorching hot because of the fiery temperature on strangler's body.

But at this time, this kind of "spicy" hug made her feel so at ease.The embrace of strangling is like a pot of hot soup with red oil.It was as if she was soaking in slightly hot spring water, and she felt intensely sleepy, and she might fall asleep at any time.

"Don't fall asleep."

Hang Zhan noticed Xiaoya's sleepy expression in his arms, and he whispered.

His deep voice is like a lion's roar, and his extremely low voice is like a bass, which can shake people's hearts.Let people immediately maintain a little spirit.

"Um……"

Xiaoya whispered unconsciously.

Suddenly relaxed, she felt that she was gradually melting into the red oily soup.

"Talk to me, Xiaoya."

Strangled Road.

"say what……"

"...Just say something casually."

Strangling didn't know what to ask the wounded to say at this time.

But soon he won't have to think about it.

"Om-"

"Om-"

Because at this moment, many drones flew over and surrounded him.

As if surrounded by a swarm of wasps, the beeps overlapped and resonated.It was an intimidating beep.

Xiaoya was also woken up by the beeping—she immediately realized what had happened.

Without hesitation, she patted Hang Hang's arm vigorously.But as if he had photographed a hard rock, Hang Sha was completely unmoved.

"Run away..."

She struggled and said: "This is the company's security drone... They will track down the murderer and the suspected criminal without scales, and then explode..."

"Ah, I've seen it."

Hang Zhan replied flatly: "It's not a big problem...but you may not be able to keep your tail. You probably have to change your prosthetic body."

As he said, a ray of light turned into a barrier, wrapping Xiaoya in his arms layer by layer.

This time, he didn't intend to carry Xiaoya behind his back again.

He changed his posture to hug her - like carrying a bag of rice.Although it was ugly, he freed up a hand because of it.

"...Will I drag you down?"

Seeing this, Xiaoya was silent for a while, and then asked in Hangsha's ear.
