Chapter 367 I am not a hero and I dont want to grow up...
In the courtyard at night, the circular teleportation array shines in the center of the courtyard,
The deep red carpet passed through the circle, and the blue water mist rose up, illuminating the faces of the three people in the dim darkness of the evening.
The lines are intertwined, outlining the mysterious magic array.
The mist overflowed from the edge of the formation, rising and spreading, and the white air sank like a fairyland, facing the silent young man facing it.
The tip of the silver dragon tooth was covered in white air, flowing over his ankles, as if he were standing in the clouds, with the moisture of mist being carried by the evening breeze.
It blew across his silent face with his eyes covered, and the hem of his specially-made coat for the night.
The soft words from Shui Linlang on the other side of the magic circle came.
‘Become the latest night watchman in Midnight’
On one side of the garden, Li Ze looked at Fang Ran not far away in silence, except that it was still difficult to accept this fact.
He listened to Shui Linlang's words and felt shocked in silence.
Compared to North America and Europe, Asia, which has the largest population base, has the largest number of participants active in the world of night fighting, and like the Zero Knights of Night Palace and the executive officers of the association,
Midnight also has the highest combat power that distinguishes all participants - the Night Watchman.
And unlike the executive who believes in the supremacy of power, Night Palace must be approved by the queen to become a zero knight.
The night watchmen at midnight have always been the most special. Not only are their number fixed,
And besides possessing power, existence itself must be a person who has something in his heart in order to be given a name.
Under the same ranking, the highest combat power of the three major forces,
It is often the night watchman who is the most mysterious and the most feared.
Moreover, due to the low-key activities, the outside world still does not know how many night watchmen there are in the middle of the night.
As the youngest night watchman in Midnight, Li Ze knows better than anyone else.
How pure is this title?
"The latest... Night Watchman...?"
In the mist, the taciturn young man recited in a low voice.
"Well, he is. The newest night watchman."
Shui Linlang looked at him and nodded, then repeated his words, supported her cheek with her fair white wrist, and spoke softly:
"Become a night watchman, and the power of Midnight will pour resources into you."
"Provide a new platform, a new level, so that you can have something you have never had before. I believe Li Ze's experience is very clear."
Hearing Shui Linlang mention his name, Li Ze silently affirmed, then slowly opened his mouth and revealed the secret that the outside world had always puzzled.
"Ziye's power is beyond my imagination. It can even give me A-level power for a short time."
Is it...
Become a night watchman...
Fangran stood quietly at the gate of the garden, looking at the large formation of water mist.
"This...is what you call 'growth'?"
The young man looked a little depressed and asked with a sigh, his eyelashes on his lowered eyes were a little wet with fog.
"Well, this is the growth I want you to decide."
Shui Lin's blue eyes were also misty. She looked at Fang Ran and whispered some of her efforts.
"As long as I become a night watchman?"
"As long as you become the Night's Watcher."
Her blue eyes stared at him, looking at the bright magic circle in the eyes of the three of them, and answered softly.
"When you step into this magic circle, you will immediately appear in Ziye's shrine. With Ziye's power and Ziye's heritage,"
"It can permanently relieve you of the burden on your heart."
Shui Linlang did not continue because she knew that the young man in front of her was actually very smart and could figure everything out.
This was all she wanted to say to Fang Ran tonight.
Get rid of the burden on your heart permanently.
Fangran's hand touching his chest tightened slightly, as if this would allow him to better feel the heartbeat in his chest.
It's as if he still has his heart intact.
Although Shui Linlang didn't go into details, Fangran knew that becoming a night watchman would definitely bring about earth-shaking changes. Having been told by Su Qun that he was fighting in the world at night, he knew very well that
Ziye, one of the three major forces, is the oldest and most powerful extraordinary existence in this night war world.
At that time, he curiously asked Su Qun how powerful and mysterious those Zero Riders, Executive Officers, and Night Watchmen were.
But he didn't expect that he could become one of them now, as long as he stepped into the magic circle in front of him...
And not only that,
He can also completely get rid of the burden on [Chuangpai]'s heart.
Having an 'infinite' self, with no limitations and no side effects, is far more meaningful than simply saying goodbye to living with magic energy.
And Fangran can be sure that Shui Linlang is definitely not lying.
Because she has told so many things about herself to make herself believe her 'next words'.
"Fangran, I'm not forcing you, nor am I threatening, but I really hope you accept this proposal,"
There was no smile like hers on Shui Linlang's face, but she stared deeply at Fang Ran, as if with some hope and expectation, she spoke softly:
"With 'infinity' in mind, I hope you will make the choice I gave you."
After hearing this sentence, I was silent for a moment, and it seemed like I had been silent for a long time.
Fang Ran then spoke slowly and in a low voice:
"I've actually been curious."
The young man's voice was soft and calm. He exhaled gently and blew away the mist. He finally understood,
Then, for the first time, he raised his head slightly, his eyes bright in the night.
Only then did Shui Linlang realize that the young man's eyes were so bright and clear.
"Why are you helping me so much? You have been silently and secretly helping me resolve external interference and intervening in various external factors that may threaten me."
Speaking of this, Fangran took a look at the water mist array shining in front of him. The spreading mist looked like the entrance to a fairyland.
Then he took a deep breath, as if to suppress his uneasy mood about the development at this moment, and moved his eyes away to look out the window at the sea of flowers gradually falling asleep in the night:
"And this proposal is to let me have a heart again. This kind of thing shouldn't be easy even for Midnight."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Speaking of this, he laughed for some reason,
"Even if it is easy, there is no reason to use it on me for no reason."
Li Ze was silent on the side, and Shui Linlang looked at him silently without interrupting his words.
"I don't believe that for no reason, a big man who has fought three major forces at night and lived for a century would bother so much for me,"
"And it's strange that I don't see any malicious intent in you."
The young man standing there smiled calmly and softly, with clear eyes, and turned to look at Shui Linlang.
Faced with this situation, has he still considered these things...
Seemingly understanding the reason for his silence before, Shui Linlang had to admit again that this young man was more careful and smarter than she thought.
From the moment he walked in and was exposed by himself, he showed a completely different calmness and delicate mind compared to the way outsiders saw him.
"If this is a reward for me saving your granddaughter, it doesn't seem to be the case, so I've always been curious."
"Why are you helping me?"
Fangran smiled, then fell silent for a moment, shook his head and said:
"But after hearing what you just said, I suddenly understood."
Shui Linlang's graceful figure didn't speak, and was speechless in the mist that the young man didn't understand.
"As a person with the ability to predict who has lived for a century, although I can't guess the specific reason, you spared no effort to help me and even made the decision to let me become the night watchman at midnight,"
Fangran's eyes flashed across the Linfu neighborhood that night...no, the majestic shadow in the middle of the disaster-despaired city,
Piece together the guesses you can think of from Shui Linlang's last sentence.
"Sure enough, it's to fight the world at night...or to put it more bluntly, it's because I have such power,"
"In order to train me to have a greater sense of responsibility like saving the world?"
That night, facing the A-62 with the power to destroy heaven and earth, Fangran realized for the first time the terror of being on the enemy's side and numbered monsters.
For the first time, I really got to know a world full of extraordinary dangers...
Night battle world.
Shui Linlang was silent. This was the longest she had been silent tonight.
Unable to speak.
After a long time, she looked deeply at Fang Ran, looked down at the mist formation and whispered:
"Well, yes, I do think so. At least in this era, since you exist, I hope things can change."
Then the blue light suddenly disappeared from her body.
Although he still looks like he did when he was young, he is unparalleled in splendor, but without the entanglement of the blue illusion, the blue color in his eyes has returned to the same color as Shui Lianxin.
"Fangran, do you really want to reject this proposal?"
Shui Linlang raised her restored eyes, stared at Fangran seriously and sincerely, and spoke to confirm:
"I know this may indeed be a huge change for you, because the Origin One is an existence that is involved without its own decision,"
"But you can't maintain the status quo forever. You can't choose never to enter the world of night battles, nor can you choose to live on mana forever."
At the end of the sentence, Shui Linlang's eyes were filled with an indescribable look.
It's hard to guess what she really means at this moment.
"You should learn to grow up."
But one thing can be confirmed, it can be seen from the gentle words with the concern and distress of the elders,
At this moment, Shui Linlang sincerely hoped that Fangran could change her mind.
And regarding this,
The young man stood in the shadow of mist and remained silent for a long time.
Then he spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he was asking himself bitterly:
"So, what is growth...?"
He gritted his teeth slightly and stared at Shui Linlang suddenly. His eyes were calm and broken, his expression was shaken, and the corners of his eyes were reddish. The memory of the past,
It seemed like it turned into mist and condensed in the corner of his eyes...
"I always thought that growing up was beautiful."
His voice began to waver, the hand gripping his chest and heart became harder and harder, and his voice gradually rose in pitch.
"I want to become strong, smart, handsome, mature and stable, so that my parents won't worry!"
"Be who you want to be!"
Fangran swept away the silver dragon teeth and swept away the mist. From the moment he entered the door, it seemed that his emotions could not be suppressed at this moment.
The memories that Shui Linlang showed him exploded, and he started to struggle with excitement!
Understand his memories, know his past childhood,
Shui Linlang looked at the young man in front of her in silence.
Silver Broken Dragon Tooth was released directly, flew out, and stuck on the ground at the door.
Fangran seemed to be feeling uncomfortable in his chest and clenched his clothes tightly with his hands. His voice seemed to be squeezed out from the memory of that night, carrying the sadness of that child.
"But...I found...it's not...what I thought!"
Recalling the collapse that night that innocent and hard-working child saw...
"It's not that if you work hard slowly, you can get it gradually. Finally, you will understand the truth logically and become older and more sensible. It's not as beautiful as I thought!"
Has he grown up?
He has grown up.
He grew up faster than ever before, and he suddenly understood many things in reality that he didn't know.
The growth is vigorous and burning.
Just like those protagonists in heroic movies...
Just facing the cruel reality.
After taking a deep breath, Fangran let go of his hands, stood upright and looked directly at her,
His eyes gradually returned to calmness, and his voice slowly became quieter before he spoke:
"Getting something you've never had often means losing something you've never lost."
That night, he got what he always wanted, the maturity and depth that he understood a lot of truths and felt very handsome. The price was...
Lost the hard-working, innocent child who had the dream of becoming a handsome hero,
He became the taciturn and silent person he once was.
Have you grown up?
He has grown up.
But that growth made Fangran understand.
Growth is not gaining,
But lost.
Lose what you have never lost and gain what you have never gained.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I know you are right, everything you do is for my good, and I also know that as long as I leave here and become a night watchman, I can get a lot of things,
"
"To be active on the international stage, to see the vast world, and to devote ourselves to the task of enhancing strength,"
"but..."
Fangran calmed down his breathing, cooled down his fevered mood, looked straight at Shui Linlang and said calmly:
"For me, all my daily life now, all the stable days where I laugh with the people I know, those are the things I cherish now,"
"And to gain what you said, I will lose these."
In an instant, the days when I was always being fooled with Ling, the days when I lived in that rented house with Meng Lang and Gou Yu, noisy, and the days when Su Qun was training every day in the night game,
The days when I got along with Hualing and Su Xing in a tense manner, the days when I was bickering with each other with Fang Shuzhi, the days when I was taught various experiences by Qing Ning and the magician.
And even though she wasn’t good at interacting with people, she was actually very gentle and concerned about his condition and helped him train Ye Sheng.
The daily routines he goes through...
"You are indeed a very respectable elder, but the 'choice' you gave me is not what I want,"
"I'm past the age where I was stupid in middle school."
I have already done that once, and for this reason I lost the days when I could be carefree, innocent and happy, and spent three years of high school alone and lonely.
I won't do it again.
Fangran turned around and walked towards the garden gate. He pulled out the broken silver dragon tooth that he had just taken off and spoke softly.
"So, I won't become a night watchman."
Even if you can get rid of the shackles of your heart and gain unprecedented freedom and power.
But isn’t that what growth is?
There is no question of whether it is worth it or not, only whether you are willing or not.
He shook his head vigorously and returned to his usual self.
Putting away the Silver Broken Dragon Tooth, Fang Rante turned around and smiled sheepishly at Shui Linlang.
He changed back to the person he was when he first walked in.
As if they had not experienced such a conversation, he spoke to the beautiful and luxurious woman in front of him at a loss:
"If it were the same person from before, I might have agreed, but I'm really sorry that you're late. I just want to protect my life now..."
After taking one last look at the water mist formation that represented a lot, Fangran opened the door and walked out, leaving only his last words,
With a young man's shy, reserved and polite voice.
