Chapter 351: Chapter 303: “I’m delirious, seeing hallucinations, I need to sleep so more.” _2
“…”
Wang Zhongyi stared in confusion at Chen Yi’s retreating figure, feeling that today’s dusk seed sowhat dazzling. He could understand each of those words, but when combined, they seed strangely unfamiliar. He could only mutter blankly.
“But this world has always been like this, hasn’t it? It has been this way for a very long ti.”
“Always like this.”
“Just because it has always been like this, does it make it right?”
Chen Yi suddenly turned to face Wang Zhongyi, raised his right arm with fierce conviction, and spoke with a voice that rose and fell with controlled passion, “Right?”
“Don’t you want your children to be able to walk the streets in peace?”
“Don’t you want your children to have a carefree childhood?”
“What I want is not just to be the King of Aomarket, but the King of Rogue Star!”
“This world has been in chaos for far too long, fending for itself with no rules to speak of. The only reason I have erged is to cultivate a ruler in every city, and ultimately, restore peace to the entire world.”
“This is what I want.”
“What profit margin? If it were for that ager profit, why would I bother speaking with you?!”
“The reason I chose you is that when your Deputy Leader stopped his truck to find , his respectful deanor made think your force still possessed a shred of conscience.”
“What I want is world peace.”
“Perhaps we may not achieve it, but the next generation, the one after, passing down this legacy, will eventually achieve world peace.”
“But all this must begin with soone brave enough to take the first step.”
“Yes, the mortality rate of pioneers will be the highest because we are against the entire world.”
“But if no one ever takes that first step, what will beco of this world? Will it continue in chaos forever? Will the first thing our children see when born always be senseless slaughter?”
“If no one is willing to stand up, then I, Chen Yi, am willing to stand up.”
“As a man, to die for the people is the highest honor!”
Chen Yi stood before Wang Zhongyi, backlit by twilight, delivering his impassioned speech with spittle flying, and then, with a lingering sense of purpose, he wiped his mouth, turning to look with so concern at the petrified Wang Zhongyi.
Normally, he didn’t really have many opportunities to give speeches.
He wasn’t sure if his words had moved Wang Zhongyi.
One could only do their best and leave the rest to fate.
As the saying goes, when you co to a new world, your greatest advantage is possessing what that world lacks.
To have what others do not is the true advantage.
This world has everything: Professionals, firearms, chaos, bloodlust.
But it seems to lack peace… and soone willing to lead them toward it.
The people of this world long for peace just as much, but they are also extrely wary of everyone around them. This inner conflict makes everyone here imnsely suffering.
On the way here.
He saw a man quickly walking down the street, leading his child by the hand—a rare sight. In such an environnt, taking a child outside basically ans preparing for the child’s death on the roadside.
The child was probably only two or three years old.
Stumbling as he walked.
Struggling down the road following his father, the child caught sight of a pendant on the waistband of a man nearby, his eyes instinctively shining with interest as he reached for it.
The man noticed this and initially froze, then a smile appeared in his eyes, intending to take off the pendant to give to the child.
Just at that mont.
The child’s father noticed as well and his expression changed dramatically. He stuffed his hand into his jacket as if to draw a gun, and with his eyes fixed on the man, he began to step back cautiously, his face full of vigilance.
The sa was true for the man.
The smile in his eyes disappeared instantly as he too stuffed his hand into his jacket, retreating until he reached a safe distance, heaved a sigh of relief, then quickly turned and left.
As the saying goes, details reveal the whole.
From this, it was evident that the world’s inhabitants still yearned for peace; it was just that the chaotic environnt forced them to be constantly on guard against strangers.
At this ti, if soone stepped forward, bearing sothing that has never existed in this world, it might bring a different change to this world.
That thing which has never existed is the idea of creating peace, an idea that had never occurred to anyone in this world.
“Peace…”
The bald man stared up at the man before him. The light of the setting sun shone on the man, feeling warm yet piercing. Thoughts triggered a moistness in his eyes as he let out a gritty roar.
“Good, Teacher Dade!”
“For the sake of peace!”
He had never dared to think this way, but it didn’t an he hadn’t thought about it in the depths of the night.
To this day, he couldn’t forget that scene.
When he was very young, he accidentally threw a sandbag out of the yard. Locked behind the gate, he couldn’t get out and sat at the door begging for help for a long ti, but no passerby would help him.
Just when he was about to give up.
A big sister stopped at his door. Seeing no one around, she hesitated for a mont before picking up the sandbag, intending to throw it back into the yard.
But at that mont.
His father returned and without a mont’s hesitation, shot the big sister dead.
He watched the big sister fall into a pool of blood with a look of astonishnt and regret in her eyes. He couldn’t describe how he felt at the ti but suddenly realized that perhaps the world had always been like this.
