Chapter 716 The Heart Gap
Then Kirino Makoto discovered that the other party had a much better life than him. Not only did he have a spacious residence, he could live a good life without working hard, and he also had a personality The most important thing about being accompanied by a beautiful female star is that he doesn't need to hide his differences from the people around him, which makes his heart full of envy and even jealousy.
In the past, there was no comparison, so he could live a peaceful and ordinary life with peace of mind. But now, he knows that people like him live very different lives.
It's like growing up in the same village and graduating from the same school. But when you were still a worker, the other person was already a billionaire. Who can not envy you? Who can not be jealous?
So, after Kirino Makoto returned, his heart could no longer calm down. Unfairness is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that he discovered the unfairness, so he no longer felt that his current life was very good, and he couldn't help it. Think: Why is he like this? Why can he do this?
Just because he has Ultraman's power?
No one is willing to be ordinary, no one does not want to be worshiped by thousands of people and loved by countless people, but most people have to be ordinary.
So, he took a video of Chiba Makoto's transformation and wanted to reveal it to the world. He wanted to know what would happen if the people around him discovered that Chiba Makoto was different?
Would you think that you are also a monster, so you are afraid and repelled?
There is also a bit of unspeakable malice buried deep in his heart: If the girl he could only look up to his whole life found out, would he leave?
But when he was thinking about how to expose this video without involving himself, a mechanical island floated in the universe, and the terrifying robot arrived. After Tiga destroyed the mechanical island by self-destruction, Kirino Makoto hesitated , the already packaged video tape was taken out of the mailbox, but it has not been sent yet.
Because Kirino Makoto discovered that this power brought not only glory, but also endless suffering.
After that, he deliberately did not pay attention to Tiga, trying to treat it as air so that he could return to his peaceful life in the past. However, in this era of frequent monsters, from official media to self-media, O Terman is an eternal topic.
Even if you don’t watch TV or surf the Internet, people around you will talk about Ultraman just like they used to talk about national affairs, and talk about what they heard from nowhere. The arrival of Ultraman awakened the monsters. It sounds like a rumor.
Until finally, Kirino Makoto could no longer stand the torture in his heart and took great risks to see Chiba Makoto. He didn’t know why he did this, but he just wanted to do it, maybe. I have suppressed myself for so long, so I want to be bold again.
Now, he asked Chiba Makoto, who was just like him, why he fought desperately: not only because he had the strength to do something, but also to protect the people he loved.
He has neither of these two reasons.
When he was very young, adults told him with facts that strange powers would only attract prying eyes and bring him misfortune; his withdrawn character and subconscious avoidance of getting too close to others would He doesn't even have a friend, let alone a loved one.
So, after hearing these two reasons, Kirino Makoto just wanted to laugh, not only to laugh at himself, but also to laugh at Chiba Makoto. He turned around and looked directly at Chiba whose forehead was covered with sweat beads. Cheng said: "You said before that many people hope to predict the location and location of monsters. The ability of time, but humans still envy Ultraman Tiga's powerful power.
But they also only want to have Tiga's powerful power, and do not want the pain caused by fighting. Likewise, They don’t want a life as miserable as mine.
This ability that is different from ordinary people is basically a curse. The more I see, the faster I sink. For me, the greatest happiness is ignorance. If you don’t know, you won’t be afraid. "
Speaking of the latter part, Kirino Makoto lowered his head and lowered his voice. There was no longer any smile on his face, only deep fear remained. While walking on the road, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. Everyone would be frightened, but Kirino Makoto was faced with the possibility of seeing terrifying monsters at any time, destroying cities and killing humans wantonly.
Most people have nightmares when they see monsters on TV or in newspapers, but Kirino Makoto watches 100% realistic virtual reality images again and again.
“With the power of Ultraman, you can destroy monsters and protect humans, but I can only watch and can’t do anything. "Makeo Kirino repeated what he said when he met Chiba Makoto for the first time in the morning, but added one more sentence: "I don't dare to do anything. ”
As he spoke, he strode towards the stairwell. When he passed by Chiba Cheng, he left a sentence: "So fate is really unfair."
Chiba Cheng did not stop him. He didn't say anything, he just stood there, listening to Kirino Makoto's footsteps disappearing, until he couldn't hear them anymore, he let out a deep sigh.
Before, he was still thinking about whether he could cooperate with Kirino Makoto, but now he has given up on this idea and understands why Kirino Makio is still so poor even though he has super powers.
Because he was unwilling and did not dare to use his superpowers, he tried his best to act ordinary, ordinary and ordinary, for fear that someone would find out that the 'clairvoyant boy' in the past was him, thus attracting prying eyes. By then, I'm afraid even an ordinary life will be a luxury.
Chiba Makoto suddenly felt that Kirino Makoto's words were quite correct. Power that is different from ordinary people makes those who don't have it enviable, and makes those who have it suffer. It is simply a curse.
Going downstairs with a heavy heart, a car drove over and stopped beside him. Maya turned her head. Just about to say something, she saw the right arm that Chiba Cheng had been holding, and asked in a panic: "Are you injured? Go to the hospital quickly."
"It's okay, it's just a small injury, just apply some medicine." Chiba Cheng said and got into the passenger seat, then opened the passenger compartment. , took out the first aid kit, pulled up his sleeve, and applied it on his burned right wrist.
Maya was driving the car and looked around from the corner of her eye. She saw the burn on Chiba Cheng’s right wrist and felt extremely distressed, but she pursed her lips and said nothing. She had seen more serious injuries. Compared with Underneath, this is really just a minor injury.
The black car gradually moved away, and finally merged into the traffic. It was only then that Kirino Makoto, who was hiding on the corner of the street, came out, stared blankly at the direction Chiba Makoto left, and said to himself Said: "I really envy you."
After saying that, he walked to the subway station with a gloomy look, preparing to return to his residence in the suburbs. But behind him, on the trash can in the alley, a dirty toy raccoon sat there, using a soybean-like Eyes, looking at the leaving Kirino Makoto.
