Seeing that the emperor remained silent, he seemed to be unable to accept what the godfather said.
The godfather just smiled.
He turned around and said, "Why don't you guess why the bad guy wants to follow me?"
"Because you promised to protect him?"
"You underestimate me too much, Mr. Emperor. I won't make promises like that. Since the bad guy has chosen to follow me, I will naturally protect him. This is not a bargaining chip."
The godfather looked at the emperor with some disappointment.
For some reason, the emperor was afraid to look directly into the eyes of the godfather, a "criminal" at this moment.
Obviously he did nothing wrong or said anything wrong, but there was an indescribable and inexplicable guilt lingering around the emperor... making him a little uneasy.
"You should know the origin of the Inferior. He is a half-elf... the only half-elf in this world."
The godfather said slowly: "But you may not know that the named elves are all entangled in the shackles of 'destiny'.
"The bad guy has been a tool since he was born - the meaning of his existence, and his end expected by everyone, is to die.
"He cannot be killed by his father, nor can he die from anyone or anything related to his father. On this basis, whether the bad guy commits suicide or dies in an accident, his father will receive a generous reward .
"He has never had the love of his parents. Both his father and mother are looking forward to his death, the sooner the better - from the moment he was born until last month, they have been looking forward to it. Looking forward to it.
"He was educated because he could still be used before he died; he was sent to work in the execution department because it was the easiest place for him to die in an accident.
"The media have been cursing him and attacking him because his father hoped that he could not bear the pressure and choose to die. The child grew up in such an environment. There was only one thing he did, that Just stay strong and survive.
"He rants against everything, because nothing but malice surrounds him; he is always alone, because the directors long to see him dead, and anyone who comes near him is killed for it... and in this case, he I still chose to pursue justice.”
The godfather looked at the emperor deeply: "And you actually think that he became such a 'bad guy' only because of the 'rebellion and bad nature of young psychics'?"
"..."
The emperor opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Because that was indeed the concept he once held towards inferior people.
Not only in books, but also in interviews, he often made fun of bad people in his talk show.
He actually wanted to say "I don't know" to defend himself, but on the one hand, the emperor felt that there was no need to say such words to the godfather... Even if he wanted to apologize, he should apologize to the bad person himself. But the emperor also knew that the bad person I never care about this kind of thing.
"I know that you upper-class people who are ordinary people look down on psykers to some extent."
The godfather said slowly: "After all, you are able to achieve your current status because the 'blue shift' that symbolizes rationality is not low. Perhaps the red shift is not too low, just because the spiritual energy belonging to you has been held by others. That's why I didn't respond to your call.
"Psychics are just lucky...no wisdom, no knowledge, no strength, no experience, just emotional fluctuations to escape from the bottom - why?
"Yes, why? This is also unfair. You are already aware of this injustice in your hearts, but you only show it out of jealousy.
"There are ten people in the Hero Club of Happy Island, but there are only two psychics. But the status between the two psychics is very different... and you are the founder of the Hero Club, 'Brilliant Diamond'
', who is high up and has the highest power in charge of the club; while Tiansong, who is also a high-ranking psyker, is the lowest level of the Hero Club and is alienated by everyone..."
"... Tiansong is one of yours too? Has he also betrayed the company?"
The emperor seemed to understand something and blurted out: "So after the bad guy killing someone in the street was photographed, you could find me here as soon as possible?"
But the godfather looked at him and just shook his head with some disappointment: "No, I don't know Tiansong at all, and I don't come to you to take revenge on you. I just came to review your qualifications... Now it seems,
You are not qualified yet.
"Also, I'm different from you. I won't call that person by that insulting name...'bad guy'. I gave him another name called 'Silence'.
"Are you kidding? Although he is not a hero, he has made many achievements. After giving himself such a self-deprecating title, do you really call him such a title?
"Admit it. Even if you are also a hero, you still hope in your heart that the glory of others will fall. When you hear the news of the fall of the inferior, you must be somewhat happy in your heart.
"I let him live for himself, so that he no longer needs to restrain himself due to 'fate'... so that he can punish the people he hates, including those in the upper city and the lower city, including those with codes and those without codes. I give
To free him, I freed him from his bonds.
"I made him a human being. Not just a beast born to be slaughtered.
"He has never been following me and has no loyalty to me... and I don't need his loyalty.
"Because I am his godfather, not his master. I am just a mentor, a sage. I relieve people's depression and guide them in the direction..."
The godfather looked at the emperor and said word by word: "And you... were the heroes of the people, but now you want to be the masters of the people.
"Compared with making money by shooting commercials, or doing dirty work by obeying the director...those things just stain your skin. Rinse it with water and it will be clean.
"Thinking you are superior to others is your true depravity. This is what makes your flesh and blood dirty."
"...Say, say so..."
Although he didn't say a few words, the emperor felt that his throat was a little dry and hoarse.
He picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, only to feel his fingers trembling slightly.
Is it because I'm scared? No, I'm not scared.
My blood pressure isn't rising either...why are my fingers shaking?
Such doubts arose in the emperor's mind, but he still tried his best to keep his tone calm: "Isn't it the same for you?
"You also think that you are above everything else. You are also a dictatorial person."
"So I never considered myself clean, Emperor."
The godfather smiled and said: "I am a tyrant. I am an unjust person. I am the king of the lower city. It is natural for me to do unjust things.
"I want people to wake up, but I didn't say I want people to be grateful to me. They only need to obey me, and they only need to fear me, just like the night.
"——You are old, Emperor."
The godfather spoke softly: "You should have been able to figure it out before. But now your eyes only look at yourself."
"...I am indeed old. I no longer care about what you want to do. All I want is to live my remaining few days well. I just want my children to grow up stably and start a family. I I don’t even care if she has a child and continues her bloodline and life...as long as she can live a happy life and become a great person."
The emperor's words seemed to be begging for mercy, but also seemed to be threatening.
But the godfather's words silenced him: "So, Mr. Emperor - do you want her to live happily more, or to become a great person?"
Seeing the emperor's silence, the godfather laughed: "You want it all. In other words, is it more important to make your daughter successful than to make her happy?"
"...How can we get happiness without success and fame?"
The emperor sighed deeply: "If people only value the results, they will take shortcuts. But shortcuts are mostly dead ends, and you will still have to return to the main road.
"Without the support of money and talent, all happiness is short-lived and false."
"Since you know this truth, you should know...the happiness you seek from directors is also not real happiness."
There was no murderous intent on the godfather's face, just a gentle smile, but his words were full of murderous intent: "Only the happiness you strive for is the happiness you truly hold in your hands.
"If misfortune is the destiny of these poor people, then I will smash this destiny...I will give them courage and the strength to live.
"I want them to know that people can live a less humble life."
After hearing this, the emperor finally understood.
He knew why his hands were shaking.
He also knew why he could no longer be angry with his godfather.
He... was actually pitying the other person. No, was he worshiping the other person?
No, the accurate statement should be...he is indeed longing for the vision mentioned by the other party.
——He is also a little bit ready to make a move.
If it weren't for the fact that there was ice water that couldn't be put down, the emperor would really not dare to do such a dangerous thing, lest it bring disaster to her for his own reasons. At this moment, the godfather had already persuaded him.
When he was young, he had such a dream - everyone can live together as equals. No one is born to die, and no one is born to live.
Wrong, all wrong! The Godfather has no spiritual power to enchant the soul at all!
In other words, his own words and essence are enough to seduce a person's intelligence...
But why are such people not in their upper city area?
...or in other words, it's fortunate that he's not in Shangcheng District.
"...But if you act like this...people won't be able to understand what you've done. They won't praise you, let alone worship you."
The emperor's words were somewhat intermittent: "People are stupid and short-sighted. They don't know anything, or even if they know, they will turn a blind eye, so we have to guide them..."
"Only singers and idols need cheers and applause."
The godfather said softly: "And I don't need...I don't need that kind of thing anymore."
For some reason, the emperor felt that the godfather's expression was complicated for a moment when he said these words.
……Why?
Could it be that the Godfather... was he also a "singer" or an "idol"?
Such absurd thoughts suddenly came into the emperor's mind, but he quickly dispelled them.
"But if you do this, it will only be extremely painful. What you can't bear... A hero cannot satisfy everyone, and the same goes for you. Sooner or later, you will collapse due to pain, and your organization will split and collapse due to different desires."
The elder's experience allowed the emperor to see through the essence of what the godfather did in an instant.
He will do the deeds of the righteous in the name of evil, so no one can criticize him and no one can stop him.
But in this case, what he has to fight is not just half of the world... but the entire world.
Even those around him are not his allies. They are chess pieces that he uses, beasts that he has tamed and may go crazy at any time.
"I know, of course I know..."
The godfather said softly and slowly stood up from the sofa: "What the 'godfather' can do has its limits. One day, my subordinates will launch a rebellion.
"But I still have to push the chess piece to that position. To detonate this contradiction that has been accumulated for thousands of years in my hands, in the safest way... This is my responsibility, and the responsibility must be heavy, and shouldering the responsibility must be painful.
There can be no happiness at all.
"It is for this reason that I have tried my best to reduce my responsibilities to the last one: to make people wake up. Until then, the mission of the 'Godfather' will be over.
"Just watch, Mr. Emperor. Please watch quietly and don't stop me... If you don't want to support me, at least keep quiet.
"Silence is the simplest cooperation.
"The era of you heroes is coming to an end. My era is coming."
The godfather looked deeply at the emperor, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and made a "silence" gesture to the emperor.
Only then did the emperor suddenly realize that... he suddenly couldn't hear anything.
He suddenly turned around and found that the bad guy was standing behind him at some point.
He held a shotgun in one hand and a Taser in the other.
At that moment, the emperor realized it.
——If I decide to take action against my godfather, I will be dead at that moment!
At this moment, the bad guy raised the Taser gun towards himself - it could stun him instantly, but it was not fatal.
The emperor finally saw clearly that what was behind him was definitely not some "painful and confused subject". The expression of the inferior was extremely natural, and his eyes were extremely clear. The ability to silence everything around him also recovered in an instant.
A gap. This obviously gave the emperor a chance to say a word.
Everything proved that he acted out of his own will.
"You inferior, you..."
The emperor's eyes showed relief, but before he finished his first sentence, he suddenly realized that he should not use this title to call a bad person. Then, his voice fell into the abyss of silence again.
[I am not a bad person, a bad person is a good person who will never attack the innocent]
A low voice sounded from the emperor's heart.
[Please call me ‘silence’]
The next moment, the trigger was pulled silently, the electric shock clip ejected, and the old emperor was electrocuted and fainted without any sound.
Looking at all this, the godfather standing at the door raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
