The violent explosion broke open the windows of the apartment, and the broken glass and flames swept into the sky. The surrounding buildings burned. It was simply a disaster.
And in the apartment, the moment the flames broke out, a fireball quickly crashed out of the window and hit the building opposite hard. The flames dissipated, and Lucia hugged the old man with charred hair, holding the old man with his hands of nothingness.
The wall led them up to the rooftop.
"Grandpa, Grandpa..." Lu Xiuya put down the old man. He saw that the old man's whole body was burned, and there was hot smoke. His eyes were wide open. There was only air coming out but no air coming in. This was already a sign of something bad.
.
The explosion just now was so sudden and fast that Lucia's hands of nothingness barely had time to complete the defense. Upon seeing this, the old man immediately hugged Lucia in his arms, and then used his body to block the first blast of the flames.
Wave impact.
During the impact, the blazing flames instantly ignited the old man's body. Lucia panicked and used his hands of nothingness to jump out of the apartment, but he was still a step too late. The flames had already caused 70% burns on the old man's body, and almost all the water in his body had evaporated.
"Lucia...are you...ok?" The old man gasped rapidly, and a few unknown notes came out of his throat. Even at this time, he was still worried about whether Lucia was injured.
"Grandpa, I'm fine." Lucia was still young, only five years old, so he didn't quite understand the meaning of "death". He only knew that he was very panicked when he saw the old man in such a bad state. He was more panicked than when the old man was beaten by a gangster.
Even though he was injured, he was still panicking, as if he was afraid that something bad would happen. He reached out to pick up the old man and said, "Grandpa, you are injured. I will take you to the hospital right away. The doctor will definitely cure you."
"No need!" the old man said weakly. He had clearly felt that his life was disappearing little by little, and he knew that he would not survive. The old man looked at Lucia dotingly. His loving eyes were full of nostalgia, and he struggled
He stretched out his hand, touched Lucia's little head, and said, "Lucia... Grandpa has taught you so many lessons... Today is the last lesson..."
Lucia felt very panic in his heart. He picked up the old man with his petite body and said with red eyes, "Grandpa, I will teach you the homework later. I will take you to the hospital... take you to the hospital..." He held the old man with his empty hands.
With his back behind him, his petite body immediately bent, but he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from falling.
The old man lay on Lu Xiuya's back, feeling his heartbeat closely. He must be very scared because his heartbeat was so panicked! This situation was something he had never seen since he was born. He didn't understand what "death" was. So he must be afraid.
He will feel at a loss. He does not understand what loss is, so he will not know how to go in the future?
"Lucia...Although you will experience sadness that you have never experienced before, and you will become weak because of it...But, Grandpa believes that you will stand up...This is the last lesson that Grandpa teaches you...No matter what happens,
No matter what sad things happen, you have to grit your teeth and endure it, and then live... Never become... a bad person..."
After the old man said these words, his hand also lost the strength to support it and fell down.
God!
Why are you so cruel? We have gone through so much suffering and finally ushered in the life of ordinary people. But why are you so cruel to take it away? Is this a test for Lucia? Everything that has been experienced in the past is...
Will become the cornerstone of the future, what future path do you want Lucia to take? Will he be happy? Will he have friends? Will there be a spiritual pillar to guide him on the right path when he goes astray?
?
The old man looked at Lucia, as if he wanted to see through his future trajectory and what he would look like when he grew up. But everything turned into a ball of white light, and his kind eyes also lost their luster and gradually became dim, until
Extinguish!
"Grandpa, I listen to you. I listen to you in everything. You must get better."
Lucia jumped off the building with the old man on his back. Now the surrounding streets were full of explosions and flames. People fled from the building, screaming and running wildly, as if it was the end of the world.
Lucia had never been to a hospital. His life as a homeless man in the past left him with no money to go to a hospital, so he only knew there was a hospital, but he didn’t know where it was. He stopped a middle-aged man who was driving and said anxiously, "Uncle,
Can you take me to the hospital? My grandfather is injured...I can give you money..."
Lucia took out all the money he had on him, which was all crumpled change, but it was all they had. He was willing to use all his money in exchange, but the middle-aged man pushed him away fiercely.
He yelled, "Are you kidding me, get out of here!" Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove away in a panic and fled the exploding street.
Lucia was pushed to the ground, and all the change in his hand was scattered. He took out everything he had and called out, but the other party sneered at everything he had and even dismissed it.
As the change flipped in the air, memories from the past came flooding back. Lucia clearly remembered that he told the old man that he would make money to buy a house in the future and give the old man a good life. However, now they clearly have a house.
, with a wonderful life, why do you suddenly feel sad about losing everything?
"What on earth am I thinking? Why do memories of the past appear?" Lucia was trembling all over. He felt that he had lost something important, and an incomprehensible emotion came up in his heart along with the memory. He picked up the old man and said
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I made you fall, I will help you up immediately, and I will find a way to take you to the hospital."
Lucia helped the old man up, but found that the old man was cold and had no response to his calls.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
"Grandpa, are you talking? I'm very scared, grandpa is talking..."
"Grandpa, don't sleep, wake up quickly..."
Lucia shook the old man, but the old man had no reaction at all, and then the huge sadness that seemed to be overwhelming swallowed him up.
It doesn’t matter whether you don’t understand the meaning of “death” or you don’t understand the meaning of “loss”, but no force can stop the emergence of sadness.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Lucia yelled. The feeling in his heart made him very depressed and uncomfortable, as if a violent emotion was about to break out of his body. His eyes were red, and he looked towards his apartment, which had been turned into a sea of fire.
But he rushed in without hesitation.
"It's all those two superpowers. They were fighting. That's why grandpa got hurt and didn't respond to me. It's all them...it's all them..." A voice in Lu Xiuya's heart roared like this, and then
The voice turned into anger and exploded in his head.
At the same time, in the raging fire in the apartment, two blond men were confronting each other. One of them was holding two guns and shooting at the other man. However, after the bullets were fired, they all turned into molten iron in the air.
"Hahaha, you clearly know that my super power is to melt metal, but you still use bullets stupidly. Are you still a detective with super powers?" The man smiled wildly, waved his palms to gather the bullets that turned into molten iron, and solidified them into
The iron ball then bounces back.
But at this moment, the wall of the apartment shattered, and Lucia separated the flames like a sharp arrow and flew over, landing between the two men. The void hand opened up, grabbed the ejected iron ball, and squeezed the iron ball hard.
smash.
The two men were shocked, "What? A superpower!" They couldn't see the hand of nothingness in their sight, so they didn't understand at all how Lucia crushed the iron ball. Was it his thoughts? Was it telekinesis?
?
The man with the gun shouted, "Little guy, no matter who you are, get out of my way right now. I am a special detective and I am arresting criminals. If you dare to hinder me, you will be punished with the same crime..." But he did not say anything.
Finally, with a "pop" sound, his right hand holding the gun suddenly flew out from his shoulder, and the blood and severe pain made him scream crazily.
"It's all you...it's all you..."
Lucia raised his head, his childish face now as ferocious as a devil, and then the "metal melting" superpower suddenly floated up. No, to be precise, he was caught by some invisible force.
Yes, because he was kicking and struggling desperately, with horror on his face and completely unable to understand what was happening.
"Hey, you...what are you doing? Put me down quickly. If you have anything to say, what do you want? I'll give you whatever you want?" He understood that all this was caused by the inconspicuous little guy in front of him, although he didn't know
What was his super power? But it was definitely a very terrifying power, so he begged loudly for mercy.
"I don't want anything, I just want grandpa to wake up! I just want to see grandpa again, I want grandpa to continue to praise me, I want to continue living with grandpa... Can you give it? Can you give it? Give my grandpa
Come back, come back!!”
With Lucia's angry roar, all the bones in the body of the superhuman were crushed. This was the power of anger and the power of sadness.
On this day, Lucia, who was only five years old, finally understood the meaning of death, and the first thing he did was to return this meaning to the originator! (To be continued...)
