Chapter 243 The fire thallium hero comes to an end
"——Hero!" Huo Thallium's voice suddenly sounded from behind, interrupting him.

The fire thallium hero trembled violently, finally woke up, and then turned to look.

Huo Thallium was still weakly slumped in Kana Komiya's arms, seemingly unable to stand up at all.

But he still tried his best to raise his head, looked at him seriously and said, "No."

Kana Komiya also shook her head.She also took a few glances at what happened over there, her eye circles were already red, showing an unbearable expression.

The snot and tears of Hero Huo thallium came out all at once.

"I know...I know! I know this is wrong!" He said with a trembling voice, and shouted at the two of them, "But what can I do! It will be very difficult to protect you!"

"Can you resist? Is there any way to resist?"

"No! You can only die!!"

"I've already tried my best just to protect you!?"

Huo Thallium looked at him and sighed: "I know, so what I mean is just... don't say it now."

"...You may still be forced to say it until the last second, but at least, don't say it in advance."

"If you take the initiative to say it, it's a completely different thing."

"——Whether you tell me or not, will there be any difference in the outcome?" The fire thallium hero roared in despair, "I just want... I just want it to end quickly!!"

If he chooses now, the refugees will be killed on Shinji's order.But if he delayed his choice until the last minute, the refugees might have been killed by then.What is the difference between the two?

"The difference is huge. Because in this world, there are not only results." Even if he was just lying on the ground, Huo Zhan's expression was still stern: "I know that this is too heavy a burden for you... But as Huo Zhan Family man, this is no reason to give up.”

"In this world, there are many things that cannot be done or not done by using 'there is a way' or 'there is no way' as reasons."

"Those things are just 'must do' and 'must do'."

"...You can't just look at the results." He paused and repeated again, "My choices do not always bring good results...because really, it can't be done. But what can be done? All I have to do is have a clear conscience and try my best, that’s all.”

"Adherence to the faith is righteous in itself."

"I'm sorry, hero." Huo Thallium looked at Hero Huo Thallium, and suddenly showed a trace of tenderness, "I have to preach until the end... But at least this is one of the obligations that a father should fulfill. I will do other things. I haven't been able to do it well, at least in this regard, let me be more like a father."

The fire thallium hero did not answer.

He only felt that the location of the fire thallium was so abnormal that he suddenly felt some kind of fear.

Huo Thallium also finished speaking and began to remain silent.

……

Things are over on the other side.

Noda Shinji came over.

He squatted next to the hero of Huo Thallium, smiled, squatted in front of him and looked at him: "Hero, all fifteen people are dead."

"——You, you should understand a little better now, right? In fact, I don't care about those people at all... but because you stood up, those people are going to die."

"It was you who killed everyone."

"...How can you still say that you are righteous?"

The fire thallium hero's lips trembled, not knowing what to say.

Noda Shinji observed his expression and said: "Well... there is still a glimmer of hope in despair."

"Also, even though you killed so many people, even though you may not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of your life...but you protected your loved ones, right? The game is over. At least the people closest to you survived."

He stretched out his thumb and pointed at Kana Komiya and Huo Thallium behind him.

Then the next second, Shen Er's expression seemed to have torn off all disguises in an instant, with an unprecedented ferocity: "But - I lied to you."

“You see—your father’s justice means nothing.

"Your justice is also nothing.

“You can’t do anything.

"So, you can only continue to play in my game."

"I say how to play, just play it. If I say to add one round, I will add one round!"

He screamed eagerly and began to spit out venom-like malice without concealment: "Now, another round! Another round! Let's choose one of the two. Choose from your father and Teacher Xiaomiya, bring it on!"

The fire thallium hero opened his mouth.

There was a buzzing in his head.

Noda Shinji's words reached his ears, but suddenly they became very distant and echoed.

Pain dulled him.

Instead of being angry, at this point, he suddenly only felt confused and confused.

Giving up the useless argument, the fire thallium hero couldn't help but ask a question that he couldn't figure out: "Shenji... what do you want me to do?"

Noda Shinji took a deep breath, as sweet as the air.Then he smiled and replied: "I just... I just want to destroy you."

The fire thallium hero was confused for a moment, and asked again: "...but why me?"

This time, Noda Shinji was stunned: "Why you?"

"Oh, there is indeed a reason." He raised his head high, looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, seeming to remember something: "It seems to be because of the 'gardener'... Although at this point, that matter seems I have long forgotten about it.”

"——It doesn't matter!!!" Noda Shinji suddenly lowered his head and stared at the fire thallium hero again, hissed impatiently, opened his arms, and said with a longing expression, "Anyway—I just like it. Watch the world burn!"

The fire thallium hero continued to look at him dully.

The mind is blank.

Suddenly, a conclusion jumped out of his mind, and he couldn't help but say it directly: "Justice does not exist. Because... you are still here."

On the opposite side, Noda Shinji was stunned for a long time.

Seeing the dreamy look on the hero's face, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, then stuck out his tongue and sniffed the air...

Finally, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Yes, yes! You finally woke up!! People like me can continue to live freely, and no one will punish me. So, justice does not exist at all... Haha Ha ha!"

——"Justice may not exist...but it will exist." A weak and serious voice suddenly sounded in the field.

Noda Shinji looked impatient after being interrupted. He followed the sound and his expression suddenly condensed on his face.

The fire thallium hero also woke up, raised his head with tears in his eyes, and then saw a scene that made him stop breathing——

Lying in Kana Komiya's arms is the fire thallium, holding a police pistol conjured out of nowhere in his hand, and the ray is aimed at Shinji Noda.The surrounding gunmen also reacted quickly, pointing their guns at the location of Huo Tiao and Komiya Kana after only one step.

Countless fingers pulled the trigger almost simultaneously.

Several gunshots rang out intensively.

"No -" the fire thallium hero's heart suddenly rose to his throat, he exclaimed and stretched out his hand forward, instinctively jumping forward.
……

With a plop, the fire thallium hero hit the ground.

He suddenly realized that the surroundings had suddenly become too quiet and dark, and the ground was hard.

Looking up, the fire thallium hero was stunned.

At some point, he was in the gymnasium just now, and now he was in a strange place.

——"Ka", "Ka", "Ka".

There was a strange sound.

The fire thallium hero looked back and was stunned for a moment.

In the endless darkness, the only light focused on the place where he had just been sitting - a row of theater seats.

The Red Warrior in the seat next to him was chewing popcorn.

Seeing the Huo Thallium Hero lying on the ground looking over, he had no intention of stopping at all. He just raised his finger and pointed at the screen and said inarticulately: "The movie is about to start."

Huo Thallium Hero continued to look back blankly, but his eyes suddenly froze.

What was reflected on the huge screen hovering in the air was the scene he remembered just now.

Huo Thallium is shooting at Noda Shen Er.And the black-clothed gunmen are also surrounding Huo Thallium and Kana Komiya in the middle, focusing their fire.

In the picture with 3D stereo effect, the fire thallium hero can even see the trajectory of the bullet clearly.

The bullet containing the thallium fire is destined to miss.One of his arms has been disabled for a long time. Although just now, he took advantage of the Fire Thallium Hero to attract Noda Shinji's full attention, loaded the bullet and cocked the hammer with the cover and cooperation of Kana Komiya...but he was already powerless. Take precise aim.

But the bullets that the other gunmen aimed at them had accurately reached his forehead and Kana Komiya's heart.

The fire thallium hero stood up silently and sat on the seat next to the red warrior. He raised his head and stared at the still picture without speaking.

——"Ka", "Ka", "Ka".

In the empty cinema, the only sound echoing was the sound of the Red Soldiers eating popcorn.

But in the end, the sound of crying gradually started to sound.

The fire thallium hero burst into tears.

"This is...this is reality, right?..." he choked.

"Yes." The Red Warrior replied calmly, "You just hid in this place temporarily... in this Creator's cinema. The moment you return to reality, reality will continue according to the picture. Bullets will Kill the location of the fire thallium and Kana Komiya...and the snake escaped with his life."

"Isn't there any way to change your destiny?"

"No."

The red soldier replied grimly.

Then he sighed, softened his tone and said, "Didn't you understand from the beginning?
"I am not a ghost, a god, or an objective existence.

"...I am you.

"I...I am the red warrior of the stars, I am the messenger who brings the gospel...but in the end, I am you.

"So I can't give you power. I can't change things that you can't do anything about.

"Well, after all, reality is not a drama. What you see in a drama is always the 'best case'. It seems that there is no real despair and everything will turn around. But reality...

"...Besides, in fact, power is nothing. I understand this very well. Power is not the eternal answer, because you will always encounter enemies who are stronger than you...

"Even in the series, until the finale, I was completely powerless against my old enemy, the Black Hole Emperor. What should I do then?"

The lazy man with the mask babbled on a lot, then turned his head to see the hero Huo Li who was still out of his mind and looked up at the screen, finally sighed and shut up.

"You can't save anyone, and I can't save anyone." He handed the popcorn bucket to the fire thallium hero, "I can only save you."

The fire thallium hero replied in a low voice: "...I know, after all, you are me."

The red warrior nodded and said: "We are friends, so I will give you two options -

"We can go to the Kingdom of Light together. It is a place without pain, eternal and happy. But to go to that place, you must first give up everything in this world...not just the physical body, but also the memory of others. , awareness of self.”

"...or if you are reluctant and unwilling to give up, then I can only leave by myself. You can only stay in this painful world by yourself..."

"After all, whether it is a 'person' or the world, the most primitive attribute is pain."

The fire thallium hero did not answer immediately, still looking up at the picture on the movie screen.

Movies are actually moving.

The movie continues to play in extremely slow motion.

As if reminding him in this way - this is reality.

So in this reality, the bullet has pierced the temple where the fire thallium is located, and the heart of Kana Komiya.

Bullet holes, expanding.

The fire thallium hero frowned unconsciously, as if he was the one in pain.

Finally, he suddenly stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears vigorously, and said: "I have made my choice." "I don't want to forget my father, my mother, Kana-san, and others..." He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't Forget Shinji...I can't give up on justice."

"...Even if they can no longer be saved?"

"It's because they can no longer be saved."

The Red Warrior nodded.

He put the popcorn aside and stood up, then stood in front of the fire thallium hero, blocking his view.

"Okay... you already know what is the omnipotent and eternal answer." He squatted in front of the fire thallium hero, "Justice is never a result, but -"

"——Can't love."

"——Don't hate."

"——Can't hope.

"——Don't despair."

"True justice can only be reached by transcending all of these."

As he spoke, the red soldier lifted his visor... there was no human face underneath.

Just pure, flowing light.

Overlapping vibrations, voices that are neither male nor female, are continuing to come out from the light under the mask——

"Justice is just burning out. Justice... is just burning out."

"Therefore, justice is always undefeated."

"Give yourself up, burn yourself out, put everything you have into it and burn it... In this way, no one can stop you. This is eternal justice."

The Huo thallium hero shed tears silently, and stretched out his arms to hug the red soldier.

Then, he closed his eyes and buried his tear-stained face into the light.

……

...The noise gradually reached my ears.

His hearing gradually recovered, and the fire thallium hero realized that he had returned to reality, but he had not yet opened his eyes.

"What's going on!! I almost died." That was the snake's angry hiss, as if it was about to choose someone to eat at the next moment.

Immediately, one of his subordinates explained in panic: "It's that woman... The gun was hidden on that woman who we ignored from the beginning! So we only searched the policeman, but we didn't find that gun!"

But the fire thallium hero no longer cares about these things.

Still closing his eyes, he looked into his heart and began to count.

On the count of one...the regret is extinguished.

On the count of two...the hate goes out.

On the count of three, the pain...all the pain subsided.

All other emotions, big and small, are disappearing one by one.

Finally, hope and expectation disappeared.

The fire thallium hero finally felt the long-lost tranquility.

Because the flames have risen.All emotions, first of all, are thrown into it as fuel and burned up.

From now on, only fire and peace accompany him.

Until his soul burned out.

"Justice..." the fire thallium hero murmured, slowly opened his eyes, and then looked up at the sky.

Flames were rising from his body.

And he looked through the ceiling of the stadium to the celestial body that echoed him from a distance and came in response to the call.

"...It's just burning out." He said with great certainty.

……

……

……

[A line is appearing on the night sky above the wilderness.

It was like a shooting star, but it was not a shooting star that streaked across the sky, but fell straight down from the top of the sky, as if the entire night was cut in the middle.

That straight line finally reached the horizon, and it seemed that bright light would burst out the next moment——]

In front of Aldabado's throne, the movie about Heroes of Fire is being shown, and this is the last scene.

Then, the screen fades to black, announcing the official end of the movie.

Hui Yuan smiled on the throne and looked away from the movie screen, turning to look at the middle-aged "Snake of the Present" sitting in front of him in the real world.

--"boom"

The sound of a gunshot seemed to come from time and space.

"Snake of the Present"'s wild laughter suddenly stopped, and a bullet hole instantly appeared on his forehead.

But the "snake" didn't die there.

Even though there was a bullet hole in his forehead, he didn't show any abnormality, but his expression was shocked.

gun……

Hui Yuan glanced at his wound that had no warhead but appeared out of thin air, and said casually: "It seems that one-third of you in the other tributary of fate were killed by Arthur?"

"This is impossible, this is impossible! As promised, there is obviously an agreement -" Snake's expression became twisted and uncertain.

Sometimes he whispered in confusion, sometimes gritted his teeth, but at the last moment he suddenly realized, "Could it be...that little girl! Zheli!..."

Then, Snake forced a smile again: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... Anyway, there is still an insurance policy with the Fire Thallium Hero..."

But Hui Yuanchu had already withdrawn his attention from him.

From the throne, he was looking at another tributary of destiny.

——The fateful branch of the "Snake of the Past".

"Fairy Heron" is burning the fire thallium hero again.

And the "Snake of the Past" who looks like Noda Shinji is still laughing maniacally amidst the background of churning flames.

However, he also had a bullet hole on his forehead, and his smile was somewhat sinister.

Suddenly, a familiar flame spear penetrated the Fire Bird's fire curtain and exploded on the capsule from which the Flame Bird soared.

The past snake's laughter also stopped immediately.

In the hole made by the flying spear in the fire curtain, a charred body could be seen maintaining the posture of projecting the spear.The flames of the firebird continued to burn, turning the body into charcoal and falling down piece by piece.

But until his face and head turned into carbon blocks and collapsed, his eyes were always staring at the snake.

After waiting for a few seconds, the body completely collapsed and the fire bird's fire curtain was restored as before.The snake turned to look at the bombed cabin again, and saw that it was intact, and then continued to laugh.

——But the next moment, several lines of words suddenly popped up on the time-limited display on the front of the cabin, and then a harsh alarm sounded.

[Under attack, safe mode is forced to start]

[Under attack, safe mode is forced to start]

[Under attack, safe mode is forced to start]

As the subtitles refreshed, the opening at the top of the cabin began to gradually close.

The firebird hovering in the sky stopped for a moment, and suddenly began to struggle violently.

It let out a shriek that was obviously tragic, but it was completely unable to resist as if it was being sucked by a powerful force. It quickly lost the shape of a bird and turned back into an amorphous flame, before being sucked back into the cabin.

In a blink of an eye, the cabin was closed.

The "Snake of the Past"'s smile was completely stuck there, looking up at the empty sky with a horrified expression.

Then the next moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck and lifted him up from the hospital bed.

"Huo thallium... hero." Snake squeezed out the name with difficulty from his throat.

The fire thallium hero, who had lost another life, stared at him without saying a word.

But flames began to rise on his hands.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! You can't kill me!!" Snake screamed, "Because I have no enmity with you at all - I'm not Noda Shinji!!"

The fire thallium hero did frown and relaxed his hands.

The snake hurriedly and greedily took several deep breaths, and then said hurriedly: "...listen to my explanation."

"——'Apostle Snake', a person with this name does not exist, he is not a specific person."

"To be precise, 'Snake' is a piece of memory and knowledge that can be passed down."

"...So, everyone who calls themselves a snake is a different person. They just inherited the same inheritance and changed their personalities because of it."

Snake finally squeezed out a smile: "...you understand? Although I look like Noda Shinji now, this is just the function of the 'three fates', wrong. Regardless of body and soul, I am actually just Noda. He’s only three years old!”

"I am not your enemy Noda Shinji at all! Not a single cell between me and Shinji is the same! I am Noda Toshimori who has no grievances with you!

"——So, you can't kill me!
"Besides, didn't you kill Noda Shinji a long time ago, you already took revenge, didn't you?
He laughed and hissed: "Are you still feeling uneasy in your heart? Don't you have nowhere to vent your despair and anger? ...But it's not okay to harm an innocent person like me for this, is it? That's not the case at all. Is it justice?"

Huo Thallium Hero stared into his eyes for a long time before slowly saying: "I see...you are not Shen Er."

"That's right, I'm not Shinji——"

"But I'm not a fire thallium hero either."

"..." Snake showed an incomprehensible expression for a moment.

"The human being named Hero Huo also died at that time." Hero Huo said flatly, "He doesn't exist anymore."

"..."

The snake was dumbfounded and its lips trembled violently.The fire thallium hero looked at the snake very calmly and calmly.

"So you see, my decision to kill you now has nothing to do with any personal grudges." He said naturally, "...it's just that justice wants to eradicate evil."

Snake's face twitched violently, as if he finally understood what the hero of fire thallium was talking about.

He let out an unwilling and meaningless scream and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Then you can't kill me, you can't kill me!! No matter how many times, no matter how many times, I will fight against you to the end!! "

The fire thallium hero didn't listen to the snake's nonsense anymore, and just made a "boom" to prompt the flames to burst into flames.

Starting from the neck, the entire head was instantly enveloped in flames, and the snake immediately howled in pain: "Ah——"

"Then kill once, twice, a hundred times, a thousand times..." The fire thallium hero spoke at this time and replied calmly, "Until..."

……

Hui Yuanchu breathed out, retracted his gaze, and looked at the "Snake of the Present" in front of him again.

A middle-aged man with a bullet hole in his forehead is burning.

Burning in miserable howls, like a large torch, it quickly burns away the skin and muscles, revealing the skeleton, but it is still screaming in pain, like an evil ghost in hell.

But soon, he burned to ashes and collapsed.

Hui Yuanchu listened to the voice of the fire thallium hero and murmured together: "...burn it out."
