Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

The wind whipped violently, only one step away, and Virgil stepped in front of the remaining two punks, and raised his hands amidst their terrified expressions.

Boom!

In the next second of violent noise, two gangsters who were paralyzed by fright fell to the ground.

"The strength is really not small."

Feeling the terrifying power from Virgil's fist, Jiang Ming's arm trembled slightly.

"So that's it, has the promotion been completed?"

His random punch was blocked, but Virgil didn't show an overly surprised expression, as if it should be so, he withdrew his hand very casually.

And the concrete floor where Jiang Ming's feet stepped on has obvious dents and cracks.

"Don't just think about yourself all the time, you bastard, at least you have the self-consciousness of a diner. If you do things right here, it will have a bad influence on the Kamijou family."

Jiang Ming shook his sore arm and spoke helplessly.

After being attacked by three people, killing one and catching two, and reporting to the police station if there is evidence, the city administrator will naturally know what to do based on Virgil's strength and the credit for the previous hospital raid.

But he killed them all neatly, and left without hesitation. Even if it can be confirmed afterwards that it was actually the result of the other party's initiative to kill, Virgil himself will inevitably be feared.And jointly, Jiang Ming and Kamijou's family will be caught in a bad situation.

Although this is just Jiang Ming's own prediction, he really does not want things to go this way.

"Other people's thoughts are meaningless to me. There is nothing valuable in this world except power. The family you mentioned is not worth mentioning to me except for the content of the transaction. "

As if mocking Jiang Ming's naivety, Virgil sneered and said.

The same bad attitude as always, no matter who he is, Jiang Ming is more or less used to this guy's way of speaking, but at least he didn't continue to do anything but just push, and that's enough.

"Ha, I don't know why you think so, but power is just a tool after all, and I can't do this kind of thing if I regard the pursuit of a tool as the highest."

Jiang Ming sighed and shook his head.

"Tool?" Virgil seemed to have heard something funny, "People without power can't do anything, only with power can they have everything. In your eyes, power is just a tool? Like Is it your magic weapons that are too ridiculous to make people laugh?"

"Indeed, power is a tool."

Unexpectedly, the other party would be willing to argue with him on this kind of issue, Jiang Ming became a little more serious, and said to Virgil.

"In my eyes, there is no difference between power and money, chopsticks, and cars. They are just tools used to achieve goals."

"I need money, but I need money because I need to spend money in exchange for all kinds of things that I need in life."

"I need chopsticks because I use chopsticks to eat."

"I need a car because I need a car to get somewhere faster."

"The same is true for power. Power itself is meaningless. It's just a thing. I need power just because I need power to do various things."

"Strength has never been the most important thing. I admit that this thing is very important, because only enough power can protect what you want to protect. However, just seeing power as the highest pursuit is putting the cart before the horse, and miser It's like hiding all the money and living a miserable life, just adding trouble to yourself."

"I want power because I want to protect the people I want to protect, protect the place I live in, protect myself from harm, that's all, at the end of the day, power is just for me to win a better living environment and a sense of security, but a necessary tool.”

"Virgil, do you really need power? So here comes the question, what do you need power for, what do you want to destroy? What do you want to protect? Or, do you just know to pursue power, but you don't even know what to do after you get it?" don't you know?"

The last words seemed a little too sharp.

Virgil, who originally had a sneer expression, fell silent at this moment, staring at Jiang Ming with a gloomy face, but couldn't say a word.

The two looked at each other like this, Jiang Ming maintained a calm gaze, while Virgil just remained silent.

Then, when the two punks who fell on the ground were about to run away, the tall man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and let out a soft snort.

"Strength is of course the most important thing."

Virgil stared at Jiang Ming calmly and said.

"What you want to protect and what you want to pursue, you can't do it without power. That's why power is important. Without power, you can't get anything, and you can only expect others to give you alms."

"If you don't have the perseverance to pursue power as the highest, you don't deserve the strongest power, and you don't deserve what you pursue."

"So power is everything!"

Virgil clenched his fingers slowly, and Jiang Ming could hear the sound of his finger bones cracking and cracking, as well as the mournful sound of compressed air.

"Do you think power is a tool, just a prop to win the life you want?"

"When you face an irreversible situation due to lack of strength, I hope you can still have such thoughts, and I hope you can still laugh at that time."

Virgil who said this seemed to have lost interest in continuing the discussion, turned around and left the alley directly.

"You can solve it however you want here. I'm no longer interested in these people."

After speaking, he walked away without looking back.

Ah, this guy, is he angry?

Jiang Ming scratched his head.

Footsteps sounded from behind, Jiang Ming turned around, and saw the two punks who had been paralyzed by fright before, getting up and trying to sneak away.

"Well, thank you, thank you for saving your life."

Seeing Jiang Ming looking over, the gangster who knew that the person in front of him was a lifesaver smiled embarrassingly.

"You thank your ancestors!"

Then Jiang Ming slapped him on the face, more than half of the teeth flew out of the mouth in the blood splatter, and the whole mouth became a piece of pulp.

Chapter 31: In the Winter Festival

Afterwards, the meeting of administrators ended, and after some readings that Jiang Ming could not understand clearly, the administrators began to return to their area one after another.

The Winter Festival is about to be held, but the whole city seems a bit lifeless because the blockade has not been lifted, so it cannot welcome tourists from other planets.Fortunately, it is still a big planet after all, and there are still a lot of tourists coming from various places, so this year's winter festival will not be too deserted.

"So, are you ready to go?"

Standing at the door, Jiang Ming looked back at the Kamijou family who had changed into bathrobes and asked.

"Well, but Jiang Ming really doesn't need to change clothes? It's also good to blend into the atmosphere."

Kamijou Toya, who had changed into a navy blue yukata, said to Jiang Ming with a smile.

"No, I'm still more used to myself."

After waving his hand, Jiang Ming looked towards the side of the corridor, where Virgil was slowly walking out at the moment.

He also put on a bathrobe, but Virgil's temperament set off his appearance more like a powerful ancient warrior, indifferent and restrained.

The black clothes swayed slightly as he walked, and Jiang Ming felt that if this guy had a samurai sword by his side, it might be more suitable for his appearance.

However, after seeing Jiang Ming's gaze, the expression on Virgil's face became a bit colder, and he walked over directly as if he didn't want to talk to Jiang Ming.

"I already cared about it before, Jiang Ming, did you have a fight with Virgil?"

Kamijou Toya looked over with a puzzled expression.

"It can't be called a quarrel. To be precise, it should be a little conflict."

Jiang Ming sighed.

To be more precise, it is the conflict of world outlook and values.It is estimated that from Virgil's point of view, Jiang Ming is a stupid idiot, although to Jiang Ming, Virgil is also a fool.

I hope the festival can find an opportunity to reconnect with each other.

Thinking like this, Jiang Ming also walked out of the house, and the Kamijou family behind him, and Index, who was hugging Kamijou Touma, had already started to cheer the names of the various snacks on the festival.

The setting sun at dusk is slowly setting in the sky, and you can see two huge planets passing slowly in the sky. They are accompanied by the Earth 233, and the other two Earths are 232 and 234. A normal Earth with no supernatural powers or high technology.

Among them, on Earth 232, there is an adventure named Drake that is well known to everyone. He is just an ordinary human being, but he has explored countless dangerous ruins. Among them, there is even a dangerous area classified as Euclid by the control and containment center, so it is extremely dangerous. Popular, Jiang Ming has seen this person's interview program.

Earth 234, on the other hand, is a planet with no characteristics at all, no different from the Earth of the first Jiang Ming in the late 20th century.However, I have heard that America, on this earth, is promoting some kind of pizza mechanical doll, and several kinds have been launched so far, which seem to be called "Freddy", "Chica", "Hoth" and so on. In short These are toy figures in the appearance of some animals.

But to be honest, Jiang Ming doesn't like those dolls. Although I can only be a cloud player because the game operation is extremely bad, there is one type of game that Jiang Ming generally understands relatively clearly, and that is horror games, especially the protagonist of the game. Jiang Ming knows quite a lot about the kind of horror game where he can't resist and can only passively avoid the enemy.

So he recognized them at a glance, these dolls were the killer dolls in the famous horror game series "Five Nights at Freddy's".

However, considering that the original dolls were possessed by the soul of a child and would kill out of control, these mass-produced dolls should be fine, right?In addition, maybe this earth is actually a world with only mechanical dolls and no people in purple.

Thinking like this, Jiang Ming has gradually walked to the winter festival.

The cobblestone road along a gentle hill meanders all the way up, and the bustling stalls are full of left and right, and many people are coming and going.

"Is it festive?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Ming's face.

The warm lights illuminated the night sky, and the smell of food wafted on the stone road. Jiang Ming ate a lot of local special snacks one after another, and also played some small games on the basis of interest, step by step alone in the crowd. Walking in the middle, humming a song in a good mood.

Compared with acting with a large army, Jiang Ming actually likes the feeling of walking around alone. Although he seems a bit autistic, he enjoys this kind of experience similar to that of a bystander.

"Ah, it's strange, oh, it's Jiang Ming!"

A familiar voice sounded at this moment.

Jiang Ming turned his head and saw Feng Zi not far away.

"Ah, it's Mr. Jiang Ming, hello."

And the elder sister standing beside her, Mr. Ibuki, whom she met once in the hospital, is a gentle woman with short hair, who is said to be a teacher.

"Ugh..."

Probably because he didn't expect to meet Jiang Ming at the ceremony, Feng Zi shrank behind the son timidly, but he still grinned at Jiang Ming, trying to make himself look a little more vicious.

"Hello, Miss Gongzi, are you going out to play with my sister today?"

Jiang Ming nodded politely in greeting.

"Yes, the child's body has almost recovered. I thought I would take her to the festival to have a look. It should make her happy."

The young master smiled and bowed slightly to Jiang Ming.

Although Fengzi has been vigilant against Jiang Ming for accidentally kissing her on the mouth, her elder sister, Young Master, is very aware of the fact that the man in front of her saved her younger sister.Therefore, every time I meet Jiang Ming, I have a very good attitude, and I have sent Jiang Ming several condolences.

"That, sister, starfish."

At this time, Fengzi gently tugged on the sleeve of the young master.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, sister, let me try again."
