This template, it's a bit of a loss to be a hero

Chapter 9 Where were you when the train stopped?

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, this person's eloquence is quite good. He doesn't talk much, but he hits the point in every sentence."

Da Chong opened his double pupils in his field of vision, and narrowed his eyes. From his eyes, Yin Chengyi read a complex and playful smile, "Look at them, cleverly relying on superpowers, they are living a better life." Life. This thing is not just a gift, but also a shortcut. Especially after 'that day', the number of people with superpowers has exploded, and the number is so large that they can no longer be concealed by the governments of various countries. It is foreseeable that in In the near future, people with superpowers will become a more special group independent of society. After all..."

"Before that, there was no 'essential' difference between people."

"In the era of feudal dynasties, no matter which country's king they were, they almost all claimed to be descendants of extraordinary beings. Dragons, destiny, gods... It seems that if they don't have something to do with these words, they are not worthy of ruling the country. Even in the near future In modern times, decades ago, it was also believed that the children of the elite were born smarter than ordinary children."

"This kind of statement is not completely wrong. In the history of mankind, there are indeed a few special examples. Shortly after birth, they showed wisdom far beyond their peers. The number of people, proportionally converted, this type of people is actually very small, so small that it is almost negligible. The emperor's son is not a real dragon, or a demigod, or a holy son, or the spokesperson of a great will. He and All living beings in the world are the same, in terms of physical structure, there is no difference. He just happened to be born in a royal family, that's all."

"After 'that day,' everything changed."

"People now have clearly realized that there are some human beings who will be different from others at the moment of birth. They are not dragons, gods, and holy sons, but they are more deadly than that. Superpowers The birth of , has completely rewritten the trajectory of the world."

"It's just... just like a speeding train, even if it loses power, it can still move by 'inertia' for a period of time. Civilization also has inertia, and because of this, it can barely maintain the previous mode of operation. And they They will try their best to erase the visual gap between superpowers and ordinary people, and try to tell you in this way that the way of life in the old era is normal, so as to maintain this precarious balance."

"Think about it, kid."

Speaking of this, the double pupils are completely opened in Yin Chengyi's field of vision, like two moons hanging high in the sky, rolling down, there is a different kind of oppressive feeling.

"A train that only relies on coasting will stop one day. These three superpowers dare to kidnap people in broad daylight, which proves this point."

"When this train stops... where will you be?"

"I……"

After the word "I", what exactly did Yin Chengyi want to say?At his age, can he really understand the reality that Da Chong said?

And all of this, perhaps only he himself knows.

The long energy storage was finally completed, and through constant adjustment of breathing and self-suggestion, Bai Ling finally managed to adjust his state to a state of no distractions.Without any further hesitation, she quickly lowered her center of gravity, pulled out the short dagger that had been hidden in her trouser leg, tilted it slightly, and adjusted to the weight of the dagger, raised her hand, and threw it heavily at Yuan Fengying!
----

When something suddenly flies towards the eye, most people don't scream immediately.Yuan Fengying had no place to hide, so she closed her eyes instinctively in time, and raised her hands directly under the stimulation of the nerve reflex. The heart that had finally let go hung up again, and her whole body shrank into a ball—this is when the body is preparing to deal with severe pain. Instinctive reaction.

Ruined.

Between breaths, countless messy emotions flashed in the girl's heart.

I seem to have read in some book that after death, consciousness does not dissipate immediately, but stays in the body for a while.It's just that you can't move, you can't blink your eyes, and you can't interact with the world in any way.However, considering that there is a high probability that I died from being pierced through the brainstem by a dagger, it may take a while longer before the body really stops moving. People can live for a week after being scalped, although this week It will be extremely painful...

and many more……

wait a minute!The browsing history on the mobile phone has not been deleted!
If... if people know that I listen to that kind of stuff... the perfect image of a good girl will collapse!Although my mobile phone will probably not fall into the hands of outsiders, at most it will be seen when sorting out the relics, even if it is seen, it should be harmless...

Right?
……

no!No, no, absolutely not!Not even dad!Even if this girl really dies, this secret can only be taken into the grave, absolutely, absolutely cannot be known by anyone!

With great motivation, Yuan Fengying opened her eyes again, ready to muster her last breath and delete everything in the phone.

but……

The gleaming dagger did not penetrate her skin as imagined, on the contrary, it just stopped at a distance of about a finger from the forehead, firmly held by a powerful hand.

Yin Chengyi didn't answer Lin Yiqi's last question, but his actions at the moment were already the best answer.

"I hope you can understand that what I said just now... is not just to delay time, but with your ability, you can have a better life."

Looking at each other with his companion, seeing Bai Ling's unfocused eyes, Lin Yiqi suddenly gained confidence in his heart, stretched out his hand to grab Lushi's ankle, and said, "I have a hunch that we will meet again in the near future. For talent like you, our doors are open at any time, and those conditions are still valid."

"The drastic changes of the times are about to begin, and you cannot escape."

"Think about it, and how to do it is best for you."

……

"Boom!"

There was a sound like a firecracker bursting, and red light burst out from Bai Ling's body, instantly penetrating every pore of her, and blowing up her long hair.After a moment, she, Lin Yiqi, and the still unconscious Lishi three disappeared from the same place, leaving only a white eye that rose from the sky.Before disappearing, their bodies flickered extremely fast, like an old snowflake screen, with poor signal, it flickered for a while.

When I looked again, there was no one left.If it weren't for the metal parts scattered all over the place, and the large and small potholes all over this alley, I couldn't help but wonder if everything I experienced just now would be a dream.

----

With a crisp "click", Yin Chengyi broke the short dagger with his bare hands and threw it aside.This movement didn't even cost him an extra bit of effort, as if the dagger was not made of iron, but a thin piece of brittle ice.

"call……"

Take a long breath.

The tense and exciting game was suddenly withdrawn, and after the tea was cooled, the surging blood gradually cooled down, and the double pupils in the eyes faded away.

After calming down, he looked at everything around him, then turned his head, and saw the narrow alley, Yin Chengyi was suddenly at a loss.He suddenly realized that he once again made a choice for "justice" out of impulsive impulse. Unlike the last time, this choice has a profound and long-lasting impact... It may greatly change the trajectory of his life.

He has always kept secrets about the world of superpowers, but after today, he may have to personally participate in it.

And all of this is just because he... In Da Chong's words, "meddling his own business".

Now this guy is dormant in the depths of his thoughts again, making that weird laughing sound, which is really uncomfortable.

----

"Well, classmate Yin Chengyi...thank you..."

"School committee, don't talk to me yet." Yin Chengyi was so upset that he didn't know how to respond. He didn't look away, and interrupted with a forceful wave, "Let me think for a while!"
