When Ultraman appears in reality, however:

Chapter 757 Revenge and Protection

"Yue Ji! No matter how miserable your experience is, I will surpass you! You have to fight for what you want!"

Qin Haoyu gritted his teeth and moved his hands, but the intense pain made him cry. This scene made Yue Ji laugh out loud.

"Pfft...hahaha..."

Yue Ji was nervous at the beginning, but gradually he started to laugh out loud.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

"Hahahahahahaha!!!"

"Why...are you crazy?"

Qin Haoyu looked at Yue Ji who couldn't hold back his laughter and finally said these words. After all, it was not a hearty laugh, nor was it a happy laugh from the heart.

Yue Ji was obviously laughing at himself, or laughing at something...

At first, it was just a leaky chuckle, but it soon turned into a heart-wrenching laugh. Yue Ji laughed so hard that he fell backwards, his wounds burst open, and he vomited black and red blood. Dark red blood flowed down from the cracked corners of his mouth like a waterfall, forming a small pool of blood on the cement floor.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!”

"What the hell are you laughing at!"

“Don’t get me wrong, don’t get me wrong…” Yue Ji then touched the corner of his mouth that was bleeding from his smile, “I just find your motive funny and hard to hold back… Some people would describe transcending pain as taking the civil service exam… Hahahaha…”

Qin Haoyu's ears suddenly felt hot. He realized that his bold words just now were as ridiculous as a primary school student swearing to be an astronaut in front of a real returnee from hell.

But at the same time, he also discovered that Yue Ji didn't always have a stern face.

Maybe he didn’t know Yue Ji very well, but just now he really laughed out loud for the first time in a long time.

Even a smile comes at the cost of blood.

After Yue Ji laughed for the first time in a long time, he lay back on the bed due to his injury. Seeing this scene, Qin Haoyu couldn't help but ask, "Every time you get seriously injured, you are alone, right?"

"So two people? What bullshit are you talking about."

Hearing this, Yue Ji couldn't help but want to laugh again.

"Don't laugh first, I just happened to think of someone..." Qin Haoyu said, "I just don't understand why you didn't want anything and were chosen like this.

Isn't Nexus's main purpose a bond? Isn't protecting important people also a quality of Ultraman? You don't have anyone to protect, why..."

"That's ridiculous. Let me ask you... In reality, is it true that power is great just because someone needs to be protected? In reality, cruel events and top-secret rises are often caused by war and revenge.

He laughed, and his laughter was filled with the smell of blood foam. "Do you think war is just a game? Rise depends on 'who do I protect'?"

He propped up his upper body and pressed his palms on the bed. "In reality, cruel things are mostly bloody - either for revenge or because they are forced into a desperate situation. You recruit an Ultraman who only wants to protect people, but what happens when the people he wants to protect are gone?"

He suddenly lowered his voice, his eyes as cold as ice, "By then he will think 'no one wants to protect him anyway', and he will either give up or go crazy. Do you expect him to turn into an infinite revenge machine?

Ah, it's not impossible, but then I'll never find the meaning of life. I didn't start my endless revenge just because I lost someone important to me.

I am just fulfilling my duty. I just don't want to see so many people die. I am not like Dyna who just wants to protect someone. That is meaningless to the overall situation. "

Qin Haoyu's face flushed, as if someone had exposed his true colors in public. He had indeed thought so - as long as he had important people in his heart, the light would always be bright.

But Yue Ji's words were like a blunt knife, cutting open that idealized shell and revealing the bloody reality underneath: If the object of protection disappears, will the so-called "power" become a thorn piercing the heart?

"You can say I'm a madman who kills alien beasts," Yue Ji lay back, his chest heaving violently, and it was obvious that the words just now had exhausted all his strength, "but I also have something I want to pursue."

He turned his head and looked at the pile of empty medicine bottles in the corner. His voice was as light as a sigh. "But you," he suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to penetrate into Qin Haoyu's bones, "What is your motivation for becoming Ultraman?"

It was getting dark outside the window, and the last ray of light slipped in through the broken window, shining on Yue Ji's bandaged hand. The hand was trembling slightly, and it was unclear whether it was because of pain or something else.

The only sounds left in the room were the breathing of the two people, mixed with the sound of the wind outside the window. Qin Haoyu lowered his head and looked at his injured hand, "My father passed away a long time ago. He just told me to study hard.

My mom thinks so too... But I don't like studying at all, and I don't think getting into a good school will help my life that much. Many young people today don't know what to do when they become adults, and they may not know what they want in life when they reach working age.

But I am different. I have admired Ultraman since I was a child and wanted to at least become a great creator...but the appearance of Nexus, that is, your appearance, brought me new hope.

Of course, this is not the only belief that supports me. If I just want to be Ultraman and ignore the feelings of my family, then I would be inhumane.

However, I really don’t have a good impression of my family. Even though I know their good intentions, I still... think about someone.”

"What are you talking about?"

Yue Ji glared with his right eye, not understanding what the other person meant at all. "You mean, the person who is important to you is not your family, but someone else, and you want to protect him?"

"Um……"

Qin Haoyu responded, "When I first entered college, I met a girl who also liked to watch Ultraman. Her body was always weak and her asthma had never been cured, so she could not do high-intensity exercise.

But I loved sports at that time, so I always told her that if Ultraman really existed, maybe I would be the one.

We got together very quickly, and I promised to be with her for the rest of my life. I thought this would be better, but her family disagreed.

No matter how good my conditions were, my family members were like crazy and kept slandering the other party's family in secret. In the end, the class gap became too big and suppressed our idea of getting married.

Later, Ultraman really appeared, but at that time she was sent to the Free Country for treatment, hoping to solve her physical problems.

After all, her family always has the money to do so, but…"

Hearing this, Yue Ji was silent for a moment, "Then she was affected by the aftermath, right? By my battle."

"Yes... That's why I was always... dissatisfied with you in the beginning. She and I clearly still had a future. I always thought that if I became Ultraman, I would never let such a thing happen..."
