Chapter 398 Let's Go Together
Be a hero?

A very distant word, although it has appeared repeatedly in the girl's dreams, it has always been covered in a ritualistic dreamy color, looking so illusory and untouchable.But suddenly one day, someone stood on the street and said to himself casually, let's turn the fantasy in our dreams into reality, let's become the heroes of the city, as casually as saying let's eat hash browns tonight. , which made Delia's brain a little sluggish for a while, and she didn't know how to react.

"Oh, actually you should feel lucky." Holding the girl's hand, a group of people slowly strolled in the shadows between the buildings, as if they were not worried about the passage of time at all. Well, no, they were. Not worried at all, "If it were a few months ago, I wouldn't have asked you this."

"I think this is a good thing for you, so I will naturally go all out to promote it without asking about your wishes. But not long ago, a bored woman borrowed the words of another little guy to teach me a lesson, saying this It seems disrespectful to your independence. Since you are wrong, you must correct it, so I am asking you formally now, do you want to be a hero? Do you want to wash away the stigma of your parents? Do you want to stand in Babel? At the top of the tower, will you personally change the future of the city?"

"Me? I..." Delia's mind was in chaos. She had forgotten her duty as a guide and let Xiure lead her around the streets. After an unknown amount of time, the girl finally used her undetectable The voice said softly, "Of course I think about it, who doesn't?"

"In fact, everyone has had enough of this world. We live in the shadow of machines every day, and are always ready to endure the separation of life and death. Even death cannot escape the pain. Even if we self-anaesthetize with alcohol and banned drugs, after we wake up, we still feel We have to face powerless despair. Every year, many people jump from the edge of the city because they are fed up with this world. If I have the ability, of course I want to change the future of the city with my own hands."

"But, so what if you think about it? It's just a legend. No one has confirmed it. It's just a fantasy used by those who couldn't stand the pressure in the past to place their hopes. Otherwise, haha, hundreds of floating cities will come up. With a population of [-] million, if the legend is true, it is impossible to remain silent for decades. Someone must have successfully climbed to the top. However, has the reality changed? There has been no change at all. This is enough to show that the Tower of Babel can hide The story about the secret of becoming a hero is just a myth. I am no longer a child. Uncle, you hate it. Okay, okay, I am just a child, but I have passed..."

"No, little guy." Xiu Er interrupted Delia's words again. The little guy kept muttering in a low voice, not so much denying the fantasy stories among children, but trying hard Convincing myself, let the hammer called reality knock myself out of the fantasy world.However, it is a pity that the results of hard work were easily smashed to pieces by Xiuer. As soon as the girl looked up, she saw the uncle with a gentle smile on his face, and winked mischievously at herself, "The first time I saw Baba Betta, you couldn't help but confided in front of us strangers that you wanted to climb up to find out, hehe, maybe you thought we had forgotten, but unfortunately, our memory is very good, even you were looking forward to and I remember clearly the longing expression."

"Eh? Did she really say that? Hey, don't glare at me, I'm just a wild animal with no memory."

"Hmph." He forcibly suppressed the troublesome animal with his fire-breathing gaze. Shuer squatted down, pressed the girl's trembling shoulders, stared at her seriously and asked, "The Lord said that all behaviors are appearances. Only inner firmness and piety are the truest beliefs. So, put aside all worries, only follow the truest thoughts in your heart, and tell me, do you want to get rid of your past life? Do you want to become a hero?"

"I think." This time, the girl did not hesitate and nodded decisively.

"But you have to know that getting rid of the past and becoming a hero may not be as beautiful as you imagined. It may take you a long time to work hard, and you may have to pay a price you never dreamed of, and you may even lose your life. Everything will be lost." Shuer's attitude became more and more serious, "Even so, are you still not going to change your mind?"

"I don't know, uncle." Delia lowered her head and whispered, "I also understand what you said. When I was daydreaming before, I also thought that I would try even if it cost my life. once."

"Why didn't you take action? Are you scared?"

"I'm a little scared, but more importantly, it's because there is no chance at all." The girl smiled bitterly, "Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, maybe I will do it, but the reality is very cruel, uncle, if To insist on blind action without any chance is not courage, but stupidity.”

"But now we have a chance." Shuer stood up and patted the girl on the shoulder, "Would you like to come with us and take a tour of the Tower of Babel in a few days?"

"There is nothing wrong with your mind." Before Delia could answer you, Mia had already glared at him and said, "I feel something is wrong after you have said so much. You don't really intend to enter that high tower. Now. But we haven't confirmed whether there is anything we want in it, so you promised her that if we decide not to go then, aren't you afraid of hurting her?" "No, it's sure, there is something we want in it. Something. Do you remember the reward I promised?"

"An opportunity for promotion?"

"Well, when I came here, I was enveloped by Lord Osol's sacred power. It felt very subtle. Do you feel that your understanding and perception of energy have deepened a lot? It is deeper than the understanding accumulated over the years in the first half of your life? Isn't that right? Do you feel that you are one step closer to promotion? Ha, I feel the same way." Shuer smiled mysteriously, "I think maybe what we lack is the understanding and experience of energy that is so powerful that it can crush, so Only then will you feel that the few seconds you spent here are so precious.”

The Shadow Chasers were silent, and no one expressed any objection. In fact, it was not just Shuer. From the few seconds when they were wrapped in the sacred power, everyone vaguely thought of what they needed now.It’s no wonder that many strong men break through the boundaries of legends only after fighting with strong men for a period of time. After all, this kind of high-intensity energy environment that far exceeds one’s own cannot be accessed casually. Under normal circumstances, It can only be created during an all-out battle with a powerful enemy.

"Of course we can't be so shameless as to ask Mr. Osor to come again a few times. Although that is the easiest way, we might be able to successfully understand the true meaning of power after a few more times. But before understanding, I think it is more likely Lord Osol threw us into the void when he got angry." The shadow chasers all understood that Shuuer was talking nonsense. Everyone's understanding of Osol's sacred power has reached its limit, and it will not happen again a hundred times. The same result, and he is the only god who can wrap mortals with a large amount of divine power without assimilating fragile mortals, so seeking answers from the gods is obviously not feasible, "Remember the president of the black market Did you say that? The energy concentration there is abnormally high, but it is not fatal immediately. Haha, if we talk about opportunities for promotion, I think there is the only hope."

"Of course, it may be quite dangerous inside. Compared with the humans here, we are indeed very strong, but we are not invincible. Those mechanical beasts may not have a way to kill us. Oh, rather, there must be a way, so this trip must be very dangerous. . However, I no longer intend to say that people who do not want to be in danger can stay. Since everyone has come together now, it would be an insult to you to say this again. So, in a few days, let’s borrow it together. Let’s take the opportunity of commissioning native creatures and go to the Tower of Babel to find out. I have a hunch that it might really change the world.”

"Your hunch may not be accurate." Mia snorted coldly and glanced at Delia, "We are fine, but what about her, are you sure you can protect her in a dangerous environment?"

"Of course not, not at all." Shuer shrugged, "So, Delia, you must think carefully about my invitation. If you go, you are likely to die, and it will be a complete death. You will never come out again." Opportunities for life archives, just like your parents did."

"But at least there is a chance to survive until the end." The girl looked blankly at the adults in the discussion, "Of course, as long as it doesn't cause you too much trouble."

"Oh, trouble is impossible to avoid, but we must go in to investigate. You heard the reason just now, don't you understand? It's right if you don't understand. In short, we will definitely go in. If you haven't said that you are interested in it, We won't consider you anymore, but since you want to change your future life by yourself, then we are willing to give you this chance to try." Xiuer seemed not worried about hurting Delia at all, smiling Said, "As for how big this chance is, hehe, it will always be higher than one in ten thousand, don't pout, I'm not joking, if you want to go with us, you should be prepared to die inside, otherwise, you'd better stay Stay home."

"I'll go." Delia clenched her fists tightly and answered decisively, "Uncle, since you gave me this opportunity, of course I can't miss it. Even if I fail, I'm not afraid. At least I can be with them, hum. When the time comes, I will ask them personally how they could bear to leave me alone and go on such a dangerous mission."

"Oh, I understand." Xiu Er nodded, "Since this is the case, I won't hide anything from you in the future, Mia, please contact him, we have been messing around for a few days, we should do something serious ”

"Now?"

"Yeah." Xiure smiled sinisterly, "I hope your contact won't scare them, hehehehehe."
