Chapter 200 The Last Lesson
Not long after Ling Yuan and Xing Guang left, Homelander came out of the elevator. He looked around alertly, as if he wanted to see every corner clearly. After repeated confirmation, he was sure that Ling Yuan was not here, but his eyes were fixed on the wall at the end of the corridor - where the lifeless body of the invisible man was embedded.
The motherland's heart tightened and he took a breath. At this moment, he was absolutely sure that Ling Yuan had been here before. As for why this invisible man would anger Ling Yuan and be killed here, he really couldn't figure it out.
The Homelander slowly approached the invisible man's body and reached out a hand to touch it gently. After a careful inspection, he found that Ling Yuan's action was very clean and neat: there was not a single broken bone on the whole body, only a fatal wound pierced by a sharp blade between the eyebrows.
He took another look at the big hole on the wall that was deeply embedded in the invisible man's body, and the broken ground at the door of the bathroom not far away. With these clues, Homelander was able to roughly restore the scene that happened at that time. Thinking of this, his fear of Ling Yuan could not help but deepen.
"Hey! Madeline, something happened at the Tower of Seven... It's like this, the Invisible Man... Yeah! I know!"
Homelander turned and left. As he walked, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and quickly dialed a number. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone with a serious expression. As he finished his last sentence, he slowly put down his phone, turned his head, and his eyes stayed on the body of the invisible man not far away. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important. After a moment, Homelander seemed to have made up his mind and walked out of the Seven-Man Tower without looking back.
At the same time, on the other side of the sea, Ling Yuan held Xing Guang's hand and suddenly appeared at the seaside like a ghost. After arriving at the destination, Ling Yuan silently loosened the hand that was tightly holding Xing Guang's wrist, and then stared at the rough sea without saying a word, with no expression on his face.
After two days, the beach that was originally covered with traces of Slud's massacre has completely changed - the scattered bodies and scarlet blood on the ground have disappeared without a trace, and even the blood-stained sand has been cleaned up. Perhaps it is because a thrilling massacre happened here not long ago, or it is because it is late at night, anyway, there is no one on the huge beach, and deathly silence shrouds the surroundings.
Xingguang looked around with suspicion. Although she knew about Ling Yuan's powerful strength, now that she had witnessed his incredible ability of teleportation, facing the strange scene before her, Xingguang's heart was still filled with indescribable astonishment.
"Um...thank you..." Xingguang lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on Ling Yuan's well-defined profile, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and she spoke softly.
Ling Yuan shook his head slightly, as if he was lost in thought. After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes revealing a trace of helplessness and regret, and slowly said: "You want to join the Vought Group and become the superhero in your heart who punishes evil and promotes good and saves the world, but this is really just a beautiful and unattainable fantasy. Have you ever thought about why superheroes only exist in movies and TV shows? That's because human nature in reality is far more complicated and darker than we imagine, so people are so eager to see those pure, flawless, brave and fearless heroic deeds in the movies!"
Xingguang's face instantly turned serious after hearing Ling Yuan's words. She knew that what Ling Yuan said was true. After a whole day of bizarre experiences, she had deeply realized this cruel fact. In this world full of desire and greed, animals are driven by their inner desires all the time. As long as they are alive, they can hardly escape the endless pursuit of material and power. Therefore, it is impossible for a perfect superhero like in the movies to appear in real life.
"However, in this complex real world, there is also a group of great heroes. They do not have earth-shattering superpowers like superheroes, but they use their precious lives to silently protect the motherland and the people with a selfless and fearless spirit!" Ling Yuan's voice trembled slightly, as if he was stirred by the emotions deep in his heart, and he continued with deep emotion, "Precisely because they do not have that kind of extraordinary power, they naturally will not have endless greed. Therefore, until the last moment of their lives, they have only a simple and firm belief in their hearts - to defend the warm home behind them and protect their loved ones around them!"
At this moment, Xingguang stared at Lingyuan quietly. She seemed to understand what he said, but she could vaguely feel the deep meaning behind it. It turned out that heroes are not limited to those with superpowers; in daily life, there are always some seemingly ordinary people who show noble character in a simple way and emit admirable light.
Ling Yuan stood quietly on the golden beach, his eyes traversing the vast sea, gazing at the intersection of the sky and the sea in the distance. He possessed a terrifyingly powerful force, but he never considered himself a so-called "partner of justice." As he said, growing strength does not bring peace, but instead inspires endless desires.
Take Ling Yuan himself as an example. His pursuit has never been limited to saving the world. From the beginning to the end, his goal has always been the same: to revive Ji Zi... and then give the girls he loves the most real and complete life.
In this regard, Ling Yuan believes that he is similar to Otto Apokalis, but not exactly the same. Otto is willing to give up everything for Kallen, even the entire civilization. However, Ling Yuan cannot be so resolute. Although he is also willing to give up everything, deep down in his heart, he always finds it difficult to bear to involve innocent ordinary people.
Ling Yuan has always adhered to his bottom line and principles. He deeply understands that his behavior must not bring any negative impact to those ordinary people. These ordinary people live a peaceful life, each of them has a warm family and a colorful life. For Ling Yuan, depriving others of such a beautiful and brilliant life just because of personal desire is something he cannot tolerate and cannot accept.
He always had a firm belief in the kindness and justice of human nature, and believed that everyone should enjoy the right to equality and freedom, which should not be arbitrarily violated or deprived by others.
In his view, everyone's life is precious and unique, with endless possibilities and hopes. No one has the right to destroy others' originally happy and fulfilling lives for selfish purposes. Such behavior not only violates moral ethics, but also seriously tramples on human dignity and values.
All of this was the truth taught to him by the woman named Wuliangta Jizi. It was the last lesson that Sister Jizi taught him, and it runs through Ling Yuan's life philosophy.
