It's not strange to let others know that you two know each other, but it's strange that you have to hide your acquaintance.
Since Wang Xiao chose to pretend to be a stranger, he should stick to it to the end instead of testing the waters on the edge of being exposed.
Fresnel did not notice Wang Xiao's reservedness, or perhaps he just regarded him as a normal social phobia. He smiled and said in a familiar manner:
"Thank you for coming out so late. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
He turned to look at his teammates:
"Who will go first?"
"Let me do it."
Wang Xiao raised his hand before his other teammates.
He always felt that Lin Qingliu might have come here for him, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't say something.
Seeing that the other teammates had no objections, Wang Xiao took the lead and walked into the treatment room with Lin Qingliu.
Sitting on the chair outside, Fresnel watched Wang Xiao's back disappear behind the door and couldn't help but sigh:
"Although Wang Xiao doesn't talk much, he is really reliable. It seems that he has accumulated a lot of pressure during this period..."
In the consulting room, Lin Qingliu and Wang Xiao sat on either side of a small table, looking at each other.
Lin Qingliu looked at his earliest believer and felt that the lines on his face were becoming more and more obvious.
Although it is the path of flesh and blood, I clearly did not include the setting of Devil Muscle Man when I was writing the copy. Just like myself now, although I have the ability of the third level of this path, it is not obvious just from the appearance.
"Have you been exercising recently?"
Wang Xiao didn't expect that Lin Qingliu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, would ask this question first. He organized his words and said:
“The training here is very intense, and…
"I don't want anyone else to die because of my mistake."
"Well, that's a good change. I still remember the first time you came to my store..."
Lin Qingliu did not continue to speak. He looked at Wang Xiao in front of him and asked the question that was buried in the other party's heart:
"I heard about the Discovery Program, so I have only one question: Do you think humanity is worth saving?"
Wang Xiao raised his head and looked at Lin Qingliu, and found that the other party's question was not a joke.
"You may not know why I'm asking this question, but as a victim of that incident, you should know that not all humans are united in facing the outside world."
Wang Xiao recalled the memories of being tied to a laboratory table and having his blood drawn and organs removed, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Fresnel's feeling was not wrong, Wang Xiao did have his own secrets and pressures.
He did not tell anyone about the time when his meat ball lost control. It was an important change for him. From that incident on, he no longer had 100% trust in humans.
Even the messenger of God in front of him was the same.
Lin Qingliu could see the pain and suffering in the other person's eyes, and he said to himself:
"In order to allow me to help you more specifically, your captain has shown me the information of all the members of Team 25.
"Your father was a loyal human soldier who died in a beast tide in the spring.
“Since childhood, you have been educated to be loyal to Hope City and eager to contribute your strength to mankind, but after that incident, you fell into confusion.
"Two thoughts tangled in your mind, right?"
Wang Xiao nodded:
"Yes, sometimes I think about that basement, the operating table, and the time when I lost my mind in the meatball.
“Whenever I have dreams about that, I start thinking about the meaning of life.
"I want to save humanity, but I always feel like I can't swallow it."
Wang Xiao's tone became more and more excited, and his originally calm expression disappeared without a trace.
"I long to save humanity, and to help humanity regain its lost territory. However, when I think about how I was once stabbed in the back, that feeling..."
"It's like a lump in the throat."
Lin Qingliu gave some timely advice.
"Yes, that's the feeling."
Lin Qingliu looked at Wang Xiao, whose facial expression was almost out of control, and read a very simple emotion from his face:
Wronged.
It's like a child who is bullied but has nowhere to complain.
The out-of-control incident did not spread on a large scale, and very few people knew the inside story.
Due to time constraints, Lin Qingliu only checked Wang Xiao's problems at the time, but did not seriously evaluate his mental state.
As an extremist who is on the verge of suicide, Wang Xiao actually has a certain risk of losing control.
As for the mastermind Zhao Kai, although his spirit has been completely destroyed, his reputation has not suffered any loss, and most researchers still speak of him with respect and admiration.
Even some of the super-powered people made Wang Xiao feel extremely disgusted when they talked about the developer of some medicines, Zhao Kai.
Although Wang Xiao could not say that he had 100% trust in Lin Qingliu, the envoy of God at this time, the other party was almost the only one who could share secrets and psychological pressure with him.
Although my teammates can support each other, I can never tell them my secrets.
There was silence in the clinic for a moment, and Lin Qingliu suddenly laughed:
"You are still too kind."
After hearing Lin Qingliu's unreasonable comment, Wang Xiao stood there in a daze.
As a superpower who is good at killing, the word kind doesn't seem to be appropriate to describe him.
"Think about it, if you were not kind, how could you subconsciously choose not to kill those infected people when you were trying to stop them?
"In your heart, you definitely still want to save humanity, but you also feel wronged. So what should you do in this situation?"
Wang Xiao showed a probing expression on his face:
"Yeah, what should I do?"
"A long, long time ago, in the Middle Ages for humans, generals at that time could not always win battles. Do you know why?"
Lin Qingliu looked at Wang Xiao and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Why?"
“Because of the right to speak.”
Lin Qingliu said easily:
“If a person always judges success and wins, he will gain greater say, and the people around him will begin to blindly follow his orders.”
He spread his hands:
"Just like now, the reason why you are sitting here and listening to me is because I am God's messenger and preacher, and God has cured your illness and bestowed you with unlimited potential, right?
“That is to say, my right to speak essentially comes from the great God.
"And if you want to have the best of both worlds, you have to keep winning, just like flesh and blood that is constantly being destroyed and growing and multiplying."
Wang Xiao's face showed a hint of understanding.
"Until when?"
Lin Qingliu's tone gradually became excited:
"Until your judgment is no longer questioned, until your call is heard by everyone, until your words are regarded as the golden rule, then it's time to settle accounts with some people."
