Cyber ​​Fantasy: Dragon Elves and Mortals

My heart suddenly tightened.

Cold sweat suddenly dripped from the emperor's golden temples.

Of course the "Emperor" knew the man in front of him.Because all the information about him has been sent to his desktop.

Not long ago, he had just talked to Ultramarine about this person.

--godfather.

Suspected to have the psychic power of worrying.It has been less than three months since the beginning of the activity, but he has perfectly dominated the men in the entire lower city area.

An extremely dangerous person.

And this person stood in front of him, standing silently in his home.

The windows and doors in the emperor's home have advanced alarm systems, but they seem to have malfunctioned... There are no alarms at all and they still remain intact.There are no traces of picking the lock...

His house didn't have a key at all, it had a vein lock.Even if fingerprints can be forged, his fingers are still on his hands. How did his godfather obtain the vein data?

He didn't even look back at himself, just standing in front of the photo frame of himself and his wife with his hands behind his back.It was only five steps away from me.

The godfather turned on the TV on purpose, just so that he could know someone was at home as soon as he opened the door.

At this moment, the emperor deeply realized... that he was indeed old.

If he were still young enough, I'm afraid the emperor would sneak over and grab the godfather by the throat right now.

He had a bad temper back then.

When he was young, armed with a sharp blade, a submachine gun, and a shield... without awakening his psychic powers, he dared to attack the TV station defended by eight kidnappers alone.Nowadays, thanks to the maintenance and enhancement of technology - or money regardless of cost - the emperor's body is stronger and healthier than before.

Today's emperor can easily charge with two heavy machine guns, which has basically reached the limit of human physical fitness.

But the godfather was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.

It was not that he was afraid of his own life or death, but that Bing Shui would be killed because of his anger.

The news of Bing Shui's assassination completely frightened the emperor... He didn't know what the godfather's trump card was for daring to appear in front of him. He also didn't know what kind of spiritual power the god father had, whether there were people hiding in other rooms, and whether Bing Shui had been tricked by them. Kidnapped.

The emperor did not dare to take action at all, and did not even dare to show hostility in front of the godfather.

"Speaking of which, it seems that I have never seen your wife on the news. She is not at home either...has she gone out?"

The godfather slowly turned around: "Or should I say, what accident happened to her?"

"...she's dead."

The emperor clenched his hands into fists, stood motionless and said solemnly: "She died more than ten years ago.

“While traveling late at night, I encountered a gunfight between two groups of scumbags from Xiacheng District.

"In those days, the reputation of Lower City was not that vicious. The nights in Uptown were not that dangerous either. Neither the Veil of Ignorance nor the Reincarnation of Eternity were there yet. There were no gang organizations, and all the Uncoded people still fought on their own... On the contrary, the mercenaries have gathered together and formed an organization. The two mercenary groups that killed my wife were the two mercenary groups that I destroyed."

"What a surprise."

The godfather shrugged: "I've never heard this news - people even thought your wife was still alive, but kept a low profile. Incognito."

"Because I don't want people to know that my wife was killed."

The emperor said calmly: "I have tortured those mercenaries a long time ago, and they do not remember that they killed such a woman. Only a few people still remember it, but they are sure that they have never retaliated against me.

"But I know that people don't think so. They are imagining more ups and downs stories, and they think that someone is taking revenge on my family for the stupidity against me.

“If people really believed stories like that, it would constrain the righteousness of heroes.

"Although we heroes are all professionals, we act for money and fame...professional heroes. But the moment anyone becomes a hero, he must be selfless, shining, and selfless.

"If people are afraid of taking action for fear of retaliation, then they have cut off the roots of good deeds."

"So you... would rather swallow this pain yourself and never tell anyone? You even pretend that your wife is still alive... Even this photo is not a portrait, but a synthetic recent photo. "

"Because I occasionally have some online shows that need to be shot at home."

The emperor said slowly: "I don't mind my address being leaked. But if people judge from the details that my wife has died a long time ago... Whether she died of illness or was killed, the role of 'Emperor' will be ruined." The image has been shaken.”

"So even though you have a high income, you have never found a servant or a housekeeper... Your wife has been dead for so long and there has been no renewal of the relationship."

The godfather sighed: "It's all because I'm worried that the truth about that matter will be exposed, right?"

"...At the beginning, I didn't think much about it."

The emperor's voice was low and depressed: "I just want to prevent people from being afraid of the 'hero' way.

"But later I realized that I had dug a hole for myself. A hole that was hard to fill."

This man, whose status was equivalent to that of the "chairman" of Xiacheng District, and whose position was completely opposite to his own... for some reason, was able to make the emperor express his true feelings in a rare way.

After personally contacting the godfather, the emperor always had a strange feeling... Although the man in front of him seemed to be addicted to darkness, he was not a bad person.

His body seemed to be shining with light - it was a temperament that followed morality and moved forward.

The emperor had seen this kind of temperament in countless young people who had just become heroes, but they were quickly exhausted and extinguished.On the other hand, in the godfather, this temperament is so strong...it is no worse than ultramarine, perhaps even stronger.

The emperor believed in his instinct when meeting people. With the number of people he came into contact with on a daily basis, it was impossible to count them through surveys, so he could only rely on instinct... Fortunately, it rarely made mistakes.

It was precisely because the godfather was a villain in terms of attitude and a righteous person in spirit - and at the same time an unstoppable and powerful enemy that the emperor did not dare to attack or provoke, that he was able to say so many things during the first meeting. .

"You are right, Mr. Emperor."

The godfather said gently: "It's all just like when you established the Hero Club...because the elf directors basically don't care about anything, the human directors don't dare to act too openly, and the other senior executives of the head office don't care about anything. Focused on profit and merit, only you heroes can wield power without restraint.

"That's why you opened the Hero Club with your five friends, hoping to take more care of injustices... This was the original intention of the Hero Club."

"I still have no regrets."

replied the emperor.

He was not surprised that his godfather would know such a thing, as he mentioned it in his memoirs.

"Even those heroes have fallen?"

"That doesn't matter," the emperor said calmly without any regret after hearing these heart-wrenching words, "I think my path is right.

“The goal is to make people feel excited when they do good deeds...think that their actions are good and have great rewards. In this way, there will be more and more heroes.

"You cannot believe in the kindness that bursts out from the depths of people's hearts. Those are just a few, momentary sparks. It is necessary to establish a perfect system so that people who do good things can receive generous rewards - regardless of whether he is a truly good person or not. .As long as he is willing to continue doing good things, it is enough."

Even if he is working with a villain who steals the world and defrauds his reputation, the emperor can tolerate it.

If he did not reveal his true nature until his death, perhaps the emperor could help him conceal the truth after his death.

"The profession of 'hero' must not remain pure. That will only make the standards more and more stringent and the circle smaller and smaller. It will only make people point at the good deeds, rate the achievements of heroes, and criticize them. …”

The emperor said solemnly: "Some people think that hero should be an honorific title.

“And I think it should be a career — a good job worth doing for the rest of your life.

"This is why I implemented the professional hero system."

He looked at the Godfather and asked: "Are you interested in coming uptown to become a 'hero', Mr. Godfather?"

"If it were you, you might be able to become the No. 1 hero of the 'Uncoded' and change the living situation of the Uncoded... maybe."
