Chapter 208
Liu Huaqi frowned slightly. If it was just for safety reasons, he would never agree with Xi Siling accepting [Despair] from Yigong Sizhang.
This is simply a life-threatening gamble.
Moreover, without the [Core], Xi Siling has almost no possibility of controlling this power, and the worst case scenario is something that none of them can bear or accept.
Lin Zhipei thought the same way.
Hua Hegu did not hide anything related to [Jumang's Sealed Heart]. For example, even if an ordinary psychic obtained Ju Mang's Sealed Heart, he would not be able to use it, because the power of the master was too strong, and the ordinary psychic's ability was not strong enough to drive it.
There is a high possibility that Xi Siling will be swallowed by [Despair], which may be a relatively good result because the power may overflow after his death.
"40! I believe you, no... I mean! I do believe you! But this power is still too..."
Lin Zhipei frowned and bit his lip, not wanting to show that he was questioning his friend's ability. He shook his head in annoyance.
"In short, you must think twice!!!"
Liu Huaqi clenched his fist with one hand, "I think what Pepe said is right, 40...you have to think it through."
The two of them wanted to dissuade her, but in the end they couldn't say it out loud. They just advised Xi Siling to think it over carefully.
After all, Xi Siling is not someone who would be bewitched by power, and they all believe that he will make the most correct plan.
But Xi Siling planned to accept this power.
However, choosing to accept without any reason when all your friends are against it would seem too careless and too arbitrary.
In the past, he was obsessed with the "damage" caused by his superpowers, fearing that the same thing would happen again as in his previous life. However, with the help of 77 over the years, he has let go of this obsession.
If he just wanted to use [despair] to hedge against [happiness], then it would be absolutely irrational, and he would never accept Yigong Sizhang's power for such a childish reason.
Of course, it’s not just for the sake of strength.
"77, Pepe." The young man looked at them with a smile, "I am not willing to just stand behind you."
This simple sentence left both of them stunned.
Xi Siling's ability is undoubtedly a healing one. Even if he can use it on himself to achieve an amplifying effect, it is limited to his body.
If he doesn't want to hurt others and himself, he is doomed to not be able to charge at the front in future battles and journeys.
Of course, it’s not that he is unwilling to be everyone’s solid support, nor does he think there is anything wrong with being a medical worker.
He just didn't want to stand behind everyone forever and be protected all the time.
At this moment, an opportunity to become stronger is right in front of him, and he doesn't want to miss it.
This is Xi Siling's obsession in two lifetimes.
Desire and talent often cannot go hand in hand, that's the reality.
Even in his previous life, before he was 'harassed' by the Ziyi family, he still had regrets about his abilities.
Because he wants to be the one who charges into battle, whether on the battlefield or in a team of psychics.
This was the wish Xi Siling had when she was a child.
It's just that people's childhood wishes are often defeated by cruel reality, and Xi Siling has to face all the troubles brought about by his special abilities.
Of course, if these are all due to Xi Siling’s own reasons, there are still difficulties that the outside world has to face.
What they have to face next is the government that has already incorporated the Superpower Institute.
Their desire to restore the history of Ju Mang and Xi Guang and return the glory to them destined them to become enemies of the government.
This path is not necessarily easier than the one chosen by Ju Mang.
Strong power does not necessarily lead to the achievement of goals, but without strong power it is definitely impossible to do so.
"I want to fight alongside you."
Xi Siling clenched his fist and placed it on his heart, telling his friends about his desire.
[Invincible] A team with only one or two invincible people is not invincible.
Liu Huaqi couldn't help but think of his senior in the department in his previous life.
When I last saw Xi Siling, he was a civil servant in the Registration and Management Department of the Institute of Supernatural Powers. He dealt with tedious but boring affairs and interacted with inexplicable and stupid people every day.
Liuhua Qi has seen people like that before. Meeting one of them would shorten his life by ten years, let alone meeting them every day.
At that time, the senior in the department was lucky enough to win the "battle" with Zi Yi Yue Yi, but he was also feared by the government, and he was unwilling to use his special abilities, so he could only do this kind of work.
Xi Siling may not necessarily regret it, but she will definitely feel sorry for her past.
Superpowers cannot be chosen, but now there is a choice of change before him.
Liu Huaqi was concerned about Xi Siling's safety, but ignored his friend's most essential wishes.
This is undoubtedly blind, but...
But if there are no major changes in the future, Xi Siling will still be a civil servant at the Institute of Supernatural Powers in the end, sitting in front of a small desk and receiving countless people.
Until then, looking back on today...
Not to mention 40, Liu Huaqi himself felt unbearable regret just by imagining it.
"40." Liu Huaqi took a deep breath and looked back at his friend, "Come on."
Trust naturally does not need to be expressed out loud, and Xi Siling must have thought carefully before choosing to trust himself.
All he needs is their support as good friends.
Seeing that Liuhuaqi also agreed, Lin Zhipei should have expressed her support as well.
But he really couldn't bear the consequences of 40 passing away.
He will never forget that when he was most desperate and had even prepared himself to never escape, it was his attentive brother Si Ling who noticed his abnormality and brought Liu Huaqi to help him regardless of his own safety.
Being a superpower is a high-risk profession, and one must be prepared to make sacrifices when fighting the living dead.
Despite this, he still couldn't imagine the possibility of losing any of them, even everyone in the Lingyan class.
Lin Zhipei kept breathing and adjusting her emotions, telling herself that 40 would be absolutely fine, and that 40 and 77 must have considered it carefully.
But he still...still...
He looked down and saw his friend's feet stopped in front of him.
Lin Zhipei was stubborn and refused to look up.
He was angry! He didn't want to forgive the reckless 40 and 77!
"Pepe, trust me, okay?"
Woohoo...I can't refuse this at all!
"If anything happens to you... I will... I will..." The young man's face turned red with anger, but he didn't know how to continue 'threatening', "In short, I will never forgive you!"
Xi Siling chuckled twice.
"Thank you, Pepe."
Lin Zhipei stamped her feet, "I didn't agree!"
Unlike Liu Huaqi, he did not know the importance of this choice to Xi Siling, nor did he expect the regrets that might arise in the future.
The pink-haired young man simply hopes that his friend can be safe.
Xi Siling also knew that her friend was worried about her, so she waited patiently, hoping to get her friend's sincere support.
Lin Zipei looked at Xi Siling's smile, and finally shook her head vigorously and made up her mind.
"You must! You must succeed! You must!!!"
Xi Siling gave a thumbs up.
"Um!"
——
Yi Gong also once had such an enviable friendship.
Xi Siling had made up her mind, and Yigong was no exception. However, how could he not notice the worries and concerns that both children had?
Therefore, handing [Despair] over to Xi Siling will be done in a gentler way.
"Are you ready?"
"Well, thank you for your help, Mr. Yigong."
Xi Siling was fully prepared.
Yi Gong nodded. This power was not as radiant as the [Core], nor as transparent as the [Apocalypse] which was like a concept.
What exactly is [Despair]? At this moment, it is a black, dumpling-like existence in Yi Gong's hand.
What surprised Xi Siling was that the ball seemed to come alive and stood up with a "hey whoosh", just like a smaller version of Yigong's big-headed puppet.
Xiao Yigong rubbed his eyes, aimed at Xi Siling, and jumped towards him.
In such a short period of time, the years that Yi Gong had experienced seemed to finally begin to flow through him, and his black hair turned white in an instant.
If Ju Mang and Yi Gong were still alive, they would be almost ninety years old now.
The three finally realized as never before that that glorious, star-studded era had long become history.
"The future belongs to you." Yi Gong's wrinkled face forced a smile, "Go ahead."
The moment Xiao Xiao Yigong arrived in Xi Siling's palm, the gap between memory and reality collapsed, and the three finally returned to reality.
The overflowing [despair] has disappeared, as if no one has ever been here.
Even the sacrifice that took place not long ago seemed like something from a previous life.
Yigong, the last remaining Xiguang member in the world and a close friend of the god Ju Mang, finally fulfilled his promise and left without any regrets.
——
"Agong!"
...
"Agong! Wake up!"
So noisy...
"Agong, you've been sleeping for too long, wake up! You promised to go shopping with me at the mall today!"
The boy was finally woken up, got up with difficulty, and rubbed his aching head first.
When his friend noticed this, his eyes were immediately filled with worry.
"Are you okay? Is your headache due to sleeping too long? Do you want to take some medicine?"
Yi Gong finally realized who the familiar voice came from. He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at his friend in teenage form with concern.
Ju Mang just tilted his head in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Is there something on my face?"
The surging emotions almost destroyed Yi Gong's sanity.
Yi Gong finally realized that in that long nightmare, he had never dreamed of Ju Mang during this period.
He is carefree and has nothing to consider or worry about.
Perhaps it was because in his perception, Ju Mang was a person who cared so much about the country and the people.
But no one has great ideals and beliefs from the beginning.
Ju Mang, his close friend, was also such an innocent child.
"Agong? What's wrong with you? You don't even say a word!"
Yi Gong lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes in an attempt to hide his tears.
"I'm fine...I'm fine."
His tears seemed to be unable to be stopped and continued to fall.
Ju Mang squatted down and looked up at him from below.
"Did you dream about something terrible? Don't cry, this is reality~"
Yi Gong finally stopped crying. He looked at his best friend and tried his best to give a gentle smile.
"Um!"
