Chapter 21 I Can’t Be a Hero

As the settlement was completed, Tong Gu noticed that bits and pieces of light began to emit in this pitch-black void space.

Space is collapsing.

The time flow rate in this kind of place is close to 0, so people will naturally not stay for a long time.

Tong Gu suddenly tore off the alloy plate melted on his back.

hiss……

Severe pain hit him, and even with Tong Gu's inhuman constitution of 19 points, veins were pulsing on his forehead.

he shouted into the void

"Full body repair!"

[In view of your injury, 632 destiny points will be deducted for this repair. Do you want to repair it? 】

Tong Gu frowned, how could it be so high? According to what he learned on the forum, ordinary trauma, even full-body burns, would not exceed 200 destiny points to repair. Is there any hidden disease in his body?

"repair!"

As the points were deducted, a warm energy instantly surrounded Tong Gu. He felt that the skin on his body grew rapidly and returned to its original state. More importantly, there was also a coolness flowing through his body. He had not noticed that there was something inside him before. So piping hot.

【Repair completed】

Tong Gu put the blood-stained alloy plate into his backpack, scanned the dark space one last time, and thought to himself:

"return."

The entire space collapsed instantly, and countless white lights burst out from the space, flooding Tong Gu's vision. It seemed that a huge amount of information flowed through Tong Gu's brain in an instant, so that he could not even think.

As the white light slowly disappeared, he felt that his feet finally stood on solid ground.

"ah……"

"Ugh..."

"My daughter is missing..."

"Have any of you seen my son? He must have returned. He is so... excellent..."

Li Mei listened to the cries that kept ringing in her ears, and felt that today's Amber Square was particularly scary for her. She squeezed the women's suit that didn't fit well, and the mature makeup on her face made her try hard not to shed tears.

Guo Dengyuan, who was beside her, patted her on the shoulder and kicked Wang Xiang, who was holding the camera like a quail behind him. He joked in a deliberately exaggerated tone.

"Why, are you scared to tears by this battle?"

Li Mei kicked him angrily. She saw that Guo Dengyuan was also nervous, so she asked

"Is it true that the kind of person you mentioned will appear?"

Wang Xiang was also a little listless at this time. He just felt that it was really terrible to follow Guo Dengyuan here today. Every time those people cried, he knew that another family had lost a child, and another ordinary person like him... died. .

Will your parents cry the same way next year at this time?

Even...at this time next year, will my parents...be still there?

He's a little self-defeating

"There's some purple portal lighting up somewhere!"

"Those who can get an A rating in the Awakening Trial are monsters, and there aren't even a few of them in the country in a year."

Guo Dengyuan stared intently at the portal in the center of the square that had not been lit for a long time. Although it had mostly been lit up in gray tones before, he murmured

"There will be, Xin Yuan's information will never be wrong..."

Suddenly, he saw the huge portal hundreds of meters high suddenly dim, and then lit up with golden light.

The brilliant golden portal suddenly illuminated the Amber Square at dawn with a light far greater than ever before.

It's like the sun has risen early.

"This, this, this is..."

Wang Xiang looked at the flashing golden light of the portal in disbelief, and his mouth trembled several times without saying a word.

"Gold, it's S-level! It's S..."

There was a cry in Li Mei's voice. She didn't care about her eyeliner. As soon as she wiped it, she felt that her previously gloomy heart suddenly became brighter.

Guo Dengyuan stared at this scene in a daze, unable to react for a moment. He only felt that this light was so warm.

"With people like this around, humanity... won't perish..."

"I... won't die either!"

Guo Dengyuan suddenly pulled Li Mei and Wang Xiang with one hand and ran towards the portal. He was already weak and out of breath after a few steps, but his face was full of excitement.

The huge cry penetrated into Tong Gu's ears as soon as his hearing recovered. He stood under the huge portal shining with golden light, and felt that the Amber Square in front of him seemed like...purgatory on earth.

All he could see were hooded men and women crying and wailing.

Others just stood aside numbly.

None of their children have returned from the awakening trial.

The corners of Tong Guna's mouth that were slightly raised because of the S-level evaluation slowly fell down.

Yes, after all, there are very few people like me.

Facing the [Game of Destiny], human beings are just losing.

Lost children, lost lovers, lost parents.

Tong Gu was a little boring.

He put the somewhat tattered hood back on his head, covering his face, and prepared to leave.

But the splendid golden portal illuminated the entire Amber Square, and more and more people stared blankly at Tong Gu, who was standing alone under the portal.

bang bang bang

In Tong Gu's unbelievable eyes, the group of crying people around him suddenly applauded in unison.

"You guys..."

Tong Gu looked at these people with red eyes and faces full of pain and clapped his hands vigorously. Standing under the golden portal, he actually felt an absurd heaviness.

"Quick, quick, quick, let the camera get a close-up of this gentleman!"

"Li Mei, please do an interview with this gentleman before the commercial media comes."

Tong Gu was unhappy. He looked up and saw a young man in a crisp blue suit walking in front of him. He was beckoning the man and woman beside him to come forward. The man's pale face and gold-rimmed glasses were The smile in his eyes made Tong Gu feel particularly dazzling.

Tong Gu was immediately blocked by the long-haired woman wearing an ill-fitting women's suit. Tong Gu looked at the other party expressionlessly. This woman with long hair hanging down past her waist, no, it should be said to be a girl, was looked directly into Tong Gu's eyes. , his face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't say a word while holding the microphone.

Guo Dengyuan saw that Li Mei opened and closed her mouth several times but made no sound. Seeing that the tester who made the portal flash with golden light was about to leave, he immediately walked up.

"Sir, classmate..."

Although Guo Dengyuan did not have stage fright, he had little experience in interviewing and was not even sure which title was better, so he simply called them out together.

"This S-class gentleman, may I ask how you feel now?"

Tong Gu's eyelids drooped, and he felt that there would be people like this everywhere. In this era, why should he take advantage of the hot spots?

Tong Gu covered the microphone with one hand and looked at the man in suit indifferently.

"How do you feel when you look at this tragedy of life and death?"

After saying that, Tong Gu squeezed hard, and after a sharp sound of electricity, Guo Dengyuan was left staring blankly at the debris on the ground under his feet.

Li Mei's eyes turned red again, feeling extremely aggrieved, but looking at the portal where the golden light had not yet extinguished, she shouted at the back of the figure who had just scared her so much that she dared not say a word.

"Hey, S-class, you will become a hero of mankind!"

Tong Gu paused for a moment, but still left without looking back.

"Human hero? Haha..." Tong Gu only felt this situation in his heart, which was extremely complicated.

As Tong Gu left, the surrounding atmosphere fell to the bottom again, and the crying gradually began. Only a few media outlets who had been late to get the news were asking where the trialists who came out of the golden portal had gone.
