Chapter 3358 Requisition
The black-robed pickets have killed many scumbag heroes, and in turn the heroes have caused indelible harm to the black-robed pickets. The hatred between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper.
The lamplighter could be regarded as an enemy and was extremely jealous when he met.
In this abnormal super human research center, the retired lamplighter became a caregiver, and his job was to assist Vought Corporation in its research. The work at the research center is not glamorous, nor does it have high wages. Compared with the period when he served in the Super Seven, it can be said that it is completely different.
When others leave the Super Seven, it's like being exiled, with various reluctances. The lamplighter was very indifferent and did not resist. He worked peacefully as a nurse in the research center without the spotlight or the following. He stayed with crazy superpowers every day and listened to the madman's murmurs without fear of losing his sanity.
The reason for this is that the lamplighter is atoneing for his sins. He burned two children to death, and his conscience will hurt.
It turned out that he actually knew that Frankie was watching, so he thought that when the fire was started, the other party would come out to stop it. You can leave as you please without actually starting a fire. Unexpectedly, Frankie's friend was seriously injured, and he left work to help his friend.
So the lamplighter had to light the fire. After all, he was one of the Super Seven at that time and had some leverage, so it eventually led to an irreparable tragedy.
Since then, he has felt so guilty and regretful that he could no longer stay with the Sevens and chose to retire.
Obviously the lamplighter also has a bottom line. The result of that arson exceeded his bottom line and he could no longer maintain his condition. In the end, he could only work as a caregiver.
When the two sides met, not only Frankie was very angry, but the lamplighter was also very angry.
Several people suppressed the lamplighter and controlled his hands. The lamplighter wanted to take out a lighter to control the flame, but his hands were tightly locked and he couldn't light a fire at all.
"Is it you?" Lamplighter, as the previous generation Super Seven, is an old rival of the Black Robe Pickets, and he was even more angry when he saw Frankie.
"That's right, we are here to take revenge on you." Frankie was very angry because the other party caused the former director to retire and also made him blame himself all the time.
"Two years ago, you should have monitored me and stopped me." The lamplighter was not happy yet. If someone had stopped him, he would have just gone through the motions and left. But in the end, he actually killed someone he shouldn't have killed. regretful.
Frankie said angrily: "It was obviously you who set the fire."
"But you can stop me. As soon as you show up, I will have a reason to give up the task. Do you know how I came here in the past two years?" The lamplighter really blamed himself and was under a lot of pressure.
Frankie really didn't expect that the other party would accuse him: "If you feel so uncomfortable, why did you set the fire in the first place?"
"I was in the Super Seven at the time. If I didn't set the fire, they would doubt me and expose my dirty information. If you had stopped me, such a tragedy would not have happened!" The lamplighter was also helpless at the time. In such an environment, he was always cautious and did not dare to leave anything to say to others.
The Butcher has some understanding. He has been lurking in the Super Seven. The atmosphere in the team is indeed suffocating. It is completely the same as the people of the motherland. The other heroes are indeed very depressed. In such an environment, you will indeed do many things that go against your heart.
Of course, Frankie also knew that he had indeed neglected his duty at that time. Between work and friends, he must have chosen a friend, so he definitely had a responsibility, so he didn't know what to say.
Everyone was silent for a while. It was hard to say who was at fault in this matter. It seemed that the two of them needed to share the responsibility equally.
"It's easy for you to sneak into the research center, but it's difficult to leave. I can help you leave." The lamplighter suddenly spoke, expressing his willingness to help.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that the other party was too kind.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Since there are so many super-powered lunatics here, can't all their bodies be requisitioned by us?" But it was Dulan who said that this research center is very good and can be requisitioned.
No one thought of using the madman's body.
Although these superpowers have gone crazy, their bodies can still be used and their abilities are diverse.
"That makes sense," said the butcher.
Huey said: "Is it still the same set of 'the weapons of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons'?"
"Yes, that's the truth. If the black-robed pickets want to truly eliminate the Watt Company, they must replace the help they bring to the people. The safety brought by superheroes is unquestionable, and in the end you will definitely need to use them too. Superpower. This is a very cruel and realistic thing. If you don’t use it, then the black-robed pickets will not be able to get the final fruits of victory. In the end, it is estimated that the military will get the fruits of victory," Duran said.
"Aren't there still Saint Seiyas?"
"The Saints are not under the control of the black-robed pickets. In short, you are right to listen to me. I will give you the soul extraction rod. Go ahead and extract their souls and store their bodies as spare weapons." Duran decided happily. Yes, the entire research center is their trophy.
They had no idea what Dulan wanted to do, but in the end they took action.
The lamplighters were dumbfounded. Can they still extract the soul of a madman?
Lamplighter and Dulan stayed in the same room, and Dulan said to him with a smile: "So you are going with the flow, but you can't abandon your conscience, and finally choose to escape. Since you know it is wrong, why don't you fight it instead of just escaping?"
The Lamplighter didn't know that in the original book, he helped Huey sneak into Vought's company to save Starlight, and committed suicide while standing in front of the relief of the Super Seven.
He originally thought he would become a tainted witness, but after seeing the relief, he chose to escape again. Maybe he knew he couldn't fight against the Super Sevens and thought of his own tricks. At the same time, he thought about his own conscience, and finally chose self-destruction due to the entanglement between conscience and excuses.
This world is not worth it.
Avoidance personality is very common. It is a kind of thinking that is very good, but once it is put into practice, it will be messed up.
Ideals and practice are two completely different concepts. No matter how good the idea is, practice is still extremely difficult. It is too difficult for lamplighters to implement their conscience. Once ideals and reality confront each other, there will be people who escape and choose themselves. Ended.
People who know the difficulties but still practice step by step are very strong.
Many philosophers have brilliant ideas, but their lives are in a mess, and they commit suicide in the end.
The lamplighter wanted to implement his conscience, but faced the unshakable Super Seven, and finally chose to give up.
The lamplighter looked at Dulan, not knowing what he meant, as if he understood himself very well. He was still being tortured by his conscience, and his conscience told him that he should work hard, and move forward even if the road ahead is difficult. But when he actually meets the Super Seven, he will still be afraid. If his conscience was really that strong, he wouldn't have set the fire in the first place.
It can be said that when you see a cow crying, you feel pity for the cow, and when you see a sheep crying, you feel pity for the sheep. In the end, you are in a dilemma. No matter what you do, you feel that nothing works, so you just choose self-destruction.
It is really difficult in practice, and you need to adapt to changes. If you make a mistake in one step, you may have to start over again, or you may even be unable to recover. Practice is really full of risks, you keep paying the price, and you may even die without success in practice. So I have to believe that like-minded people will continue to practice and eventually succeed. Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine.
Having such practical ability is basically a great person. The lamplighter obviously does not have such courage and perseverance. He is an ordinary person and has a conscience, but he will be shaken when encountering difficulties in practice. In the end, he is in a dilemma and cannot integrate knowledge and action.
