Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 275 - 275 34 Intertwined Dreams 5_3

275: Chapter 34: Intertwined Dreams (5)_3 275: Chapter 34: Intertwined Dreams (5)_3 Gongsun Ce’s face turned deathly pale.

“Nonsense, you…”

“Wait half a minute, let me finish before you retort!” the brown-haired boy abruptly raised his voice, “Think about it, once your power is detested, everything turns cruel.

Your very existence burdens the nation and society, you cast your family under the suspicious gaze of others, and without talent, you’ll never be able to make up for the losses you’ve brought upon yourself.”

“This is terrible…

I can’t seem to find any purpose in your existence anymore, Gongsun Ce.

You really are a disaster!”

Kardesia burned her straitjacket to ashes and rose from her chair, shouting, “Shut up, Aorus!

If you speak another nasty word, I’ll burn you!”

“Stop, Aorus…” Gongsun Ce gasped urgently.

His straitjacket hadn’t been torn by powers, but invisible forces had carved cracks beneath the chair.

“Don’t push me.”

“You can’t come up with any rebuttals because I’m speaking the truth.

Ahahaha!” Aorus laughed uproariously, “Look, you’re using your superpower, you want to hurt me!

Now you’ve turned talent into a weapon, you’ve become a fanatic who suppresses others’ opinions with violence.

Your existence and life are worthless now, you, who have fallen from the highest stage, are plunging into the abyss, into the eternal hell of meaningless beings!”

“Stop talking!!”

Aorus screamed in excitement, “You can only put an end to it all!

Other than self-destruction, you have no way out!”

The black-haired child’s straitjacket instantly shattered.

He clutched his ears and let out a piercing scream.

“—I told you to stop talking!!!”

Shiyu Ling checked the time, 10:10.

The iron behemoth began to tremble.

Long-term confinement, the anxiety of surveillance, the loneliness of being far from family—all of this had driven the young Dragon Species into a dire state.

Children are at an age where they obsess over things, and when they hear such morally manipulative condemnations, a rampage is the most natural progression.

The intelligence gathering was almost complete, the next round of dreams would end quickly.

From the start, head straight to the left passageway, wait in front of Gongsun Ce’s cell with the chubby kid, and just the words from the person he trusts the most will clear up his confusion.

Yes, the next round could be resolved easily, now she didn’t need to do anything more…

But that didn’t mean she couldn’t do anything this round.

“What a hassle.”

She admitted she was a bit annoyed.

That superpower user who once defeated her had been pushed to the brink by such clumsy remarks.

Where had all your witty comebacks gone?

Were you really that fragile as a child?

Stand up, hurt each other, bring out the madness to beat me even if it means self-harm, use your superpower to knock down that brat.

Bowing before an idiot made her, the one who had been defeated by you, look ridiculous…

Irritated.

Uncomfortable.

Restless.

Unhappy.

“Okay, that’s enough—”

She stood up and lazily knocked on the door.

This action only drew Kardesia’s attention; the two arguing children hadn’t heard a thing.

Once again, the iron behemoth was ravaged under the rampage of a superpower, and the transparent doors were the first to shatter.

Aorus, with a sick smile, somehow extricated himself from the straitjacket and spread his arms wide.

He was just about to say something more when he caught a flash of black out of the corner of his eye.

A black dart pierced through his cheeks on both sides, passing right through that persuasive mouth.

Aorus clutched his face, unable to vocalize, his eyes filled with shock and panic.

“A captivating speech.” Shiyu Ling stepped into the cell, yawning, “Here’s my late admission ticket.”

Sure enough, all Dragon Species are lunatics.

Aorus, who could spout such trash talk, was sick in the head, and Gongsun Ce, who took it as truth, wasn’t right in the head either.

By comparison, how cute is a little kitty that’s too scared to speak…

Look at her covering her mouth, screeching…

Shiyu Ling kicked the brown-haired boy to the ground and stood on Aorus Otimis’s back with one foot, looking down at Gongsun Ce who was on the verge of collapse in the chair.

“Hey, kid, what are you doing?” she said languidly, “Keep talking, use that eloquence you’re so proud of, or what, was that lowly moral manipulation actually effective?”

Little Gongsun Ce was visibly stunned; his already muddled mind went blank in the seconds of unfolding events.

“I don’t…

I…

he’s right…”

“What do you mean, ‘right’?

Everything has been wrong since the very beginning!” Shiyu Ling clicked her tongue and interrupted, “The stupid things the adults do for themselves, even if they burn through billions of banknotes, what’s that got to do with you?

Are you the head of state, kid, or planning to take responsibility?

Wanting to be a politician at such a young age?

No wonder you end up so twisted, you’ve been sick like this since childhood!”

“But…

my value…”

“Did I hear that right, a ten-year-old brat talking to me about the value of life?” Shiyu Ling laughed nastily, “But let’s step back ten thousand steps and say, if life really has no value…

does that mean you have to die?

I certainly wouldn’t do that.

Even if a thousand, ten thousand people die somewhere in the world for every day I live, I won’t commit suicide; even if I’m hated by everyone in the world, I’ll live a happy life!”

Aorus was still struggling on the ground, panting heavily in retort: “You…

you vile villain…!” A strange light emanated from his hands, as if he was on the verge of activating his power.

“Ah!!” But before it could truly take effect, another arrow pierced through the back of his hand.

“Hahaha!” Shiyu Ling laughed as she raised her leg and stomped down hard, and the brown-haired Superpower User screamed in pain again.

“That’s right, I am a villain!

If someone annoys me, if someone gets in my way, I’ll get rid of them myself!”

The thunderous noise of the steel ship disintegrating grew louder and louder; this ship was about to fall apart.

Aorus was knocked unconscious by the kick.

Shiyu Ling stood on the Superpower User’s back, leaning forward to look at the boy in the restraint chair.

Air flowed from the cracks, causing her black hair to flutter in the wind.

Her smile was sinister yet beautiful, like a witch from a fairy tale who had come to the human world.

“Selfish villains live very happily because they keep all the love and kindness for themselves.”

“Being a villain is…

wrong!” Gongsun Ce on the restraint chair was pale.

“Why is it wrong?

Because I killed this fool?”

Little Gongsun Ce said softly, “Humans…

shouldn’t live just for themselves…”

“If loving oneself is a symbol of evil, then all beings in the world are villains, and you, who despise yourself, are the clearest of all!

Haha, in the end, the virtuous you, just like the fool under my feet, is also an arrogant, self-righteous fellow.”

“I’m not!” Little Gongsun Ce screamed in anger, “I, am not a person like Aorus!!!”

One wall of the cell was blown away by Telekinesis, and Kardesia and the wall flew off together; cracks also appeared on the floor beneath their feet.

In less than 10 seconds, the iron ship would completely disintegrate.

This was the end.

“This ship is about to fall, and if you stay here, you’ll die too.

Big sister here can save you…” Shiyu Ling held the short arrow up to the boy’s throat.

“But a person who doesn’t even love himself doesn’t deserve to live.”

“You say you’re not like him?

Prove it to me, boy.”

She retracted the short arrow into her sleeve and reached out to the young boy.

“See if you die clean on this chair or stand up and become a villain with me.”

“I…”

The black-haired boy looked back and forth at everything in front of him.

Aorus, who’d been beaten down, the collapsing cell, the black-haired wicked woman…

Their words echoed in the young boy’s mind.

No meaning to live…

shouldn’t take responsibility for others’ actions…

villains…

self-righteousness…

A person who doesn’t even love himself doesn’t deserve to live.

“I…!”

In the instant before the spaceship disintegrated, he stood up from the chair and grabbed the black-haired witch’s hand.

“Hahahaha!”

Shiyu Ling laughed joyfully.

This was truly great, as she would have a whole bunch of material to mock him with after getting back to reality.

From now on, she’d call him Little Villain, or perhaps Little Ruffian.

What was the point of reviewing this moment?

To understand how he felt at the time, to comprehend the impact of the event on himself…

and then to judge the past from the perspective of his current self.

To clarify one’s nature, that’s exactly what it is.

The dream belonging to Gongsun Ce was about to end at this moment.

She and the child fell together through the air, everything in front of them blurring into faintness in the dizzying sensation.

In the moment before the dream vanished, Shiyu Ling whispered softly.

“That’s right, be a villain.

Give yourself a bit more love; life will be easier that way.”
