Overturned Tower

Looking at the emperor's silence, it seemed that he could not accept the words of the godfather.

The godfather just smiled.

He turned to speak: "You might as well guess, why do the inferiors follow me?"

"Because you promised to protect him?"

"You underestimate me, Mr. Emperor. I will not use that kind of nonsense to promise. Since the inferior has chosen to follow me, I will naturally protect him. This is not a bargaining chip."

The godfather looked at the emperor with some disappointment.

For some reason, the emperor was afraid to look directly into the eyes of the godfather, the "criminal".

He obviously did nothing wrong or said anything wrong, but there was an inexplicable and inexplicable guilt haunting the emperor... which made him a little uneasy.

"You should know the origin of the inferior. He is a half-elf...the only half-elf in this world."

The godfather said slowly: "But you may not know that all elves are bound by the shackles of 'fate'.

"The inferior has been a tool since he was born—the meaning of his existence, the end he is expected by everyone, is to die.

"He cannot be killed by his father, nor can he die by anyone or anything related to his father. On this basis, whether the inferior person commits suicide or dies by accident, his father will be rewarded generously .

"He never had parental love. His father and mother expected him to die, the sooner the better - from the moment he was born until last month, they were looking forward to it with.

"He was educated because he could still be used before he died; he was sent to work in the executive department because it was the easiest place for him to die by accident.

"Those media have been cursing him and attacking him because his father hoped that he would not be able to bear the pressure and choose to die. That kid grew up in such an environment. All he did was one thing, that Just live strong.

"He cursed at everything, because he was surrounded only by malice; he was always alone, because the director was eager to see his death, and anyone who came near him would be killed for it... And he, in this case, still chose to serve justice."

The godfather looked at the emperor deeply: "And you actually think that he became such a 'bad person' only because of the 'young psyker's rebellious and bad nature'?"

"..."

The emperor opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Because that is indeed the concept he once held about the inferior.

Not only has it been revealed in the book and in interviews, but even in his talk show, he often laughs at the bad guys.

He actually wanted to say "I don't know" to defend himself, but on the one hand, the emperor felt that there was no need to say such things to the godfather... Even if he wanted to apologize, it should be to the inferior person himself. But the emperor also knew that the inferior never cared about such things.

"I know, those of you ordinary people who are in high positions somewhat look down on psykers."

The godfather said slowly: "After all, you can have the current status, which symbolizes that the 'blue shift' of rationality is not low. Maybe the red shift is not too low, just because your psionic power has already been held by others, That's why I didn't answer your call.

"Psykers are only lucky because they don't need wisdom, knowledge, strength, or experience, as long as their emotions fluctuate, they can get out of the bottom layer—why?

"Yeah, why? This is also a kind of unfairness. You have already realized this unfairness in your heart, but you only show it with jealousy.

"There are ten people in the hero club of Happy Island, but there are only two psykers. But the status of the two psykers is very different... like you, the founder of the hero club, 'Brilliant Diamond' , the highest authority in charge of the club; and Tiansong, who is also a high-ranking psychic, is the lowest level of the Hero Club and is alienated by everyone..."

"... Tiansong is also one of yours? Has he also betrayed the company?"

The emperor seemed to understand something, and blurted out: "So after the scene of the bad guy killing people in the street was filmed, you can find me right away?"

But the godfather looked at him, but shook his head in disappointment: "No, I don't know Tiansong at all, and I didn't come to you to take revenge on you. I just came to review your qualifications... Now it seems that you Not enough.

"Also, I'm different from you. I wouldn't use that insulting name to call that person... 'Bad One', I gave him another name called 'Silence'.

"Are you kidding? Although he is not a hero, he has made many achievements. Give yourself such a self-deprecating title, do you really call him by this title?

"Admit it. Even if you are also a hero, you are also looking forward to the fall of the glory of others. When you hear the news of the fall of the inferior, you must be somewhat happy in your heart.

"I let him live for himself, so that he doesn't have to be bound by 'fate' again... so that he can punish the people he hates, both uptown and downtown, with codes and without codes. I gave He is free, and I am free from his bondage.

"I made him a human being. Not just an animal born to be slaughtered.

"He was never after me or loyal to me...I didn't need his loyalty.

"Because I am his godfather, not his master. I am just a mentor, a sage. I release people's anguish and guide their direction..."

The godfather looked at the emperor and said word by word: "And you... are the heroes of the people, but now you want to be the masters of the people.

"Compared to shooting commercials for profit, obeying directors to do dirty work... those things just stain your skin. Rinse it with water and it's clean.

"You think you are superior to others, and that's where you really fall. This is what makes your flesh and blood dirty."

"...Say, say so..."

Although he didn't say a few words, the emperor felt that his voice was a little hoarse.

He picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, only feeling a little trembling in his fingers.

Is it because I'm scared? No, I'm not afraid.

My blood pressure didn't go up either...why are my fingers shaking?

Such doubts arose in the emperor's mind, but he still tried his best to keep calm: "Aren't you the same?

"You also think you are above all else. You are also an autocratic person."

"So I never thought I was clean, Emperor."

The godfather said with a smile: "I am a tyrant. I am an unjust man, I am the king of the city, and it is only natural for me to do unrighteous things.

"I'm going to wake people up, but I don't say I'm going to make people appreciate me. They just have to obey me, they just have to fear me like the night.

"—You are old, Emperor."

The godfather said softly: "You should have been able to figure it out before. But now your eyes are only looking at your side."

"...I'm really old. I don't care what you guys want to do anymore. All I want is to live the few days I have left. I just want my children to grow up safely and start a family. I even It doesn't matter if she wants a child, if she continues the bloodline and life...as long as she can live happily and become an amazing person."

In the emperor's words, there seemed to be begging for mercy, and there seemed to be threats.

But the words of the godfather silenced him: "Then, Mr. Emperor—do you want her to live happily or become a great person?"

Seeing the emperor's silence, the godfather laughed: "You want them all. In other words, is it more important to make your daughter successful than to make her happy?"

"...How can you get happiness if you don't achieve success and fame?"

The emperor sighed deeply: "If people only pay attention to the result, they will take shortcuts. But most of the shortcuts are dead ends, and they still have to return to the main road."

"Without the support of money and talents, all happiness is short-lived and false."

"Since you know this truth, you should know... the happiness you seek from the directors is also not real happiness."

There was no murderous look on the godfather's face, just a gentle smile, but his words were full of murderous intent: "Only the happiness that you have fought for is the happiness that is truly in your hands.

"If misfortune is the destiny of these poor people, then I will smash this destiny...I will give them courage and give them the strength to live.

"I want them to know that people can live without being so humble."

Hearing this, the emperor finally understood.

He knew why his hands were shaking.

He also knew why he couldn't get angry at the godfather.

He... actually felt sorry for the other party. No, is he worshiping each other?

No, the accurate term should be... He is indeed longing for the vision the other party mentioned.

—He was also a little ready to move.

If it weren't for the ice water, the emperor really wouldn't dare to touch such a dangerous thing, for fear of bringing disaster to her because of his own reasons. At this moment, the godfather had already persuaded him.

He also had such a dream when he was young-everyone can live together equally. No one is born to die, and no one is born not to live.

Wrong, all wrong! The godfather doesn't have any spiritual powers to charm the soul!

In other words, his own words and his essence are enough to seduce a person's wisdom...

But why is such a person not in their upper city?

...or, luckily, he wasn't uptown.

"...But with you like this... People can't understand what you have done. They won't praise you, let alone worship you."

The emperor's speech was a bit broken: "People are stupid and short-sighted. They don't know anything, or even if they know, they will turn a blind eye, so we have to guide them..."

"Singers and idols need applause and applause."

The godfather said softly, "And I don't need...I don't need that kind of thing anymore."

For some reason, the emperor felt that the godfather's face was complicated for a moment when he said this sentence.

…why?

Could it be that the godfather...was he also a "singer" or an "idol"?

In the emperor's heart, such an absurd idea was born in an instant. But he dismissed it quickly.

"But if you do this, it will only be extremely painful. You can't bear it...Heroes can't satisfy everyone, and neither do you. Sooner or later, you will collapse due to pain, and your organization will split and collapse due to different desires."

The experience of the elders allowed the emperor to see through the essence of what the godfather did in an instant.

He will do the deeds of the righteous in the name of the wicked, so no one can blame him, no one can stop him.

But in this case, what he has to fight against is not half of the world... but the whole world.

Even his side is not his ally either. It's the pawns he uses, the beasts he tames and may go mad at any time.

"I know, of course I know..."

The Godfather said softly, and slowly got up from the sofa: "There is a limit to what the 'Godfather' can do. One day, my subordinates will launch a rebellion.

"But I still have to push the chess pieces to that position. To detonate this thousand-year-old contradiction in my hands, in the safest way... This is my responsibility, and the responsibility must be heavy, and it must be painful. There can be no joy at all.

"It is for this reason that I have tried to reduce my responsibilities to one last item: bringing people to their senses. Until then, the mission of the 'Godfather' will be over.

"Look, Mr. Emperor. Please watch quietly, don't stop me... If you don't want to support me, at least please keep quiet.

"Silencing—that's the simplest form of cooperation.

"The time of your heroes is coming to an end. My time is coming."

The godfather took a deep look at the emperor, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand and made a "silence" gesture to the emperor.

It wasn't until this moment that the emperor suddenly realized... that he suddenly couldn't hear anything.

He turned around suddenly, and found that the inferior was standing behind him at some point.

He holds a shotgun in one hand and a Taser in the other.

At that moment, the emperor realized it.

—If he decides to attack the godfather, he will be dead at that moment!

At this moment, the inferior raised the taser gun at himself—it could stun him instantly, but it was not fatal.

The emperor finally saw clearly that what was behind him was definitely not a "painful and confused manipulated person". The expression of the inferior is extremely natural, and the eyes are extremely clear. The ability that silenced everything around him also restored a gap in an instant. This obviously gave the emperor a chance to say a word.

Everything proves that he did it of his own will.

"Inferior, you..."

There was a look of relief in the emperor's eyes~www.NovelMTL.com~ But before he finished his first sentence, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't use this title to call the inferior. Immediately afterwards, his voice fell into the abyss of silence again.

[I am not a bad person, a bad person is a good person who will never attack the innocent]

A deep voice sounded from the emperor's heart.

【Please call me 'Shut up'】

The next moment, the trigger was pulled silently, and the electric shock clip was ejected, and the old emperor was shocked until he passed out without a sound.

And watching all this, the corner of the mouth of the godfather standing at the door slightly raised.

Another voice sounded from the silent heart:

【—Welcome to the Tower of Babel, silence】

【My pleasure】

Quietly replied.
