Chapter 245 You realized it too early(2/2)
He believed that this tragedy had his own reasons, and was tortured because of his kindness.
It's not over yet.
The little hands that were no longer white picked up an ear clip-type metal instrument from the ground.
That was the cutting-edge translator that Bai Tangzheng gave him for communication when he and Rodan parted.
The automatic recording and translation functions are turned on.
The little fingers rubbed the ear clips, and the child's voice was hollow and distant.
"Do you know what Rodin said at the end, uncle?"
Sam's exoskeleton-wrapped palm opened and closed with a "click", and the man who had once struck Hinomoto with a red knife and was stunned was now at a loss.
The child's voice continued.
"Rodan. He should have lost his heart by then."
"He tried hard to keep his voice as usual, then moved over, hugged his mother-in-law, and said."
"'Dad is going to pick me up, mother-in-law. Let's go live in the palace. We can all live in the palace from now on.' Then there were two sounds of sharp claws digging into flesh."
Bai Tangzheng raised his head, his eyes still unfocused.
"His mother-in-law was smiling when she died, feeling relieved for her grandson's bright future."
"Did Rodin do the right thing, uncle? Kill the person he loves most with his own hands, the person who loves him most?"
Without waiting for Sam to answer.
Bai Tangzheng, this ten-year-old child already has his own answer.
"There is no savings and no food in this house. Rodin feels that he is dying. For the rest of the days, he can only live by himself as a lame old lady. What should she do? How should she live in this slum?
?How should she accept that her grandson died in front of her eyes?"
"She will be crazy and desperate. The better scenario is that she will eventually return to reality, but so what? There is no food! There is no money! There is no way the living environment here can accommodate a lame old lady!"
"She will be so hungry that she loses all her strength, becomes unconscious, and has swollen limbs. Then she will become so thin that she becomes inhuman, with dry skin and sticky blood. Her muscles and internal organs will atrophy, and her whole body will shrink into a ball. The endless pain and despair will torture her for several days, ten
How many days! Then she will die!"
"You described it to me, uncle. When I was picky about food, you described to me what it was like to starve to death."
The child's eyes stare into space.
"Rodan is right, he also knows what it means to starve to death! He must have seen it with his own eyes, right?"
"So he could only drag his mother-in-law, lie to her, comfort her, and then kill her with one blow."
"So this old lady's face lit up with a smile. She kept smiling! She was still fucking smiling even after she died!"
Sam has never seen the child lose his temper since Bai Tangzheng was seven years old.
But now, the veins on his face popped out, and the power of a giant beast surged from his fist, and he smashed hard against the ground.
Sam couldn't help it any longer, and he grabbed it with his small but powerful fist.
He hugged Bai Tang's struggling body and suppressed him with powerful force.
"It's not your fault! Ah Zheng! It's not your fault!"
Sam carefully restrained his power so that it would not hurt Bai Tangzheng.
Although they often beat this kid until he suffered comminuted fractures during training, it was different now!
It's different now.
This is not an obstacle that can be overcome by relying on "iron fist education". This is not an obstacle that can be overcome by asking children to "stop thinking nonsense".
This is psychological trauma and overreaching.
Even at full speed, Sam could cross the ocean in less than an hour and return the child intact to his sister and brother-in-law.
But this hurdle is still here! Even if he has the power to reach heaven, this hurdle will still be in Bai Tangzheng's heart!
As Bai Tangzheng's uncle, he really can't stand it!
Any elder will be angry and sad when they see their junior's self-defeating and self-defeating behavior.
It has nothing to do with power or anything else!
Just because - love.
"Listen to me, Azheng! Listen to me!"
"Then the boy still has you as his friend, doesn't he? He can actually entrust his mother-in-law to you, right?! This is him, this is Rodin who went to extremes!"
"He actually has a way out! He has a way out! It's his fault!"
Sam stared closely at Bai Tangzheng's eyes, hoping for any kind of emotion to appear in these eyes.
Even if it's just anger at himself for slandering his friend!
Even if his fist hits my face the next moment!
But nothing.
In the lively and cheerful expression of the past, there are no emotional fluctuations now.
"Is there really a way out?"
The child asked calmly. His tone made Sam's breath stop.
"Can a heart that is so sad never really think about it?"
He raised the ear clip in front of his face with his little hand and looked at it word by word.
"Of course Rodin has thought about it. Of course he has thought about all the people who can entrust his mother-in-law to her. But why does he still do it?"
Sam's heart was twitching. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with Bai Tangzheng's state, but he couldn't tell.
I just felt that Bai Tangzheng's pain was too severe, completely beyond the level of "death of a friend".
Therefore, he could only stare blankly at the child imprisoned in his arms.
"He can't think of it, uncle."
The child said a sentence that was like a bolt from the blue.
"Rodan can't think of it at all!"
"For me, feeding an ordinary old lady is really easier than blowing my breath. Countless people and countless forces will naturally satisfy my intentions. Not to mention an old lady, even if the legislation improves the overall
I can also provide social welfare for the world’s elderly people!”
"But Rodin"
Having said this, Bai Tangzheng showed a teasing smile that was uglier than crying.
"That guy doesn't understand at all!"
"He spent his short life wandering around in this slum, without education or vision. He even thought that the best life in the world was to be like the owner of his burrito shop!"
"Can the owner of a burrito shop afford to support an old woman who can no longer work? Yes, but it is difficult."
"So he thought it would be difficult for me too! So he, a child who is used to seeing tragedies, thought it would be difficult for me too! It would be so difficult that he would abandon his mother-in-law in the end!"
"Stupid! Ignorant! You are simply an idiot, Rodin!"
Bai Tangzheng finally couldn't control himself and started crying like a child of his age.
But there was no joy on Sam's face.
There is no joy in letting children vent their emotions.
He released his arm, letting Bai Tangzheng free.
He finally realized something was wrong with this child.
As expected, Baitang regained some composure after venting.
"So, why is this happening, uncle?"
Sam pursed his lips and was speechless.
"Society is progressing, technology is developing, and even the Titans that can destroy mankind are getting stronger and stronger to deal with them. The world is rich and colorful, and the future is beautiful, shouldn't it be like this?!"
"Why are there people like Rodin who live a monotonous and barren life day after day? Their vision is narrow, as if they are living in the dark past? As if everything I said before has nothing to do with them?"
The child looked at Sam with burning eyes, expecting him to answer his questions like he did in previous years.
Sam finally understood where the great sadness in that little heart came from.
It was far more than the sadness of losing a friend.
Bai Tangzheng, he sensed from Rodin, behind the tragedy, the sadness that countless "Rodans" in the world are experiencing or have experienced.
This heavy and huge pain made him feel the pain, and he could not even extricate himself.
This made Sam even sigh.
Ah Zheng, you are too smart and too keen.
