People in Tokyo: Time Stopped

"..."

"Are you nervous? Ringo-chan? Sure enough, let me go out and say something first..."

Regarding Ji Gong Wuming's proposal, Qian Qiu, who was sitting behind the scenes, shook his head. He realized that he was a little nervous... and he should have been a person who would not be nervous, as he should have been.

but……

"No... I didn't expect anything, I just..."

Qianqiu, who responded with such a simple response, slowly walked out of the background and stood on the huge platform... This time the location was not the port area, but the W area, which had been evacuated.

"I just want to announce my thoughts to the world."

This huge stage is more spacious than before, and even has more cameras than before, as well as various hidden microphones to transmit Qianqiu's voice to various TV stations.

This time, it is really the real attention.

"..."

In the past, Qianqiu's appearance always caused cheers, but now everyone's eyes are only calm and solemn, and there are firm eyes that show support for Qianqiu.

Seeing their approval, Qianqiu calmed down instead... The ordinary people in Tokyo and the weird and fettered monsters have been evacuated. Now, almost all of the people who stay here are on the same front as everyone who is preparing to unite with Tokyo. warrior.

If you appear to be timid, submissive, or even like a timid person, if you hesitate here... it will be too cold for the hearts of these warriors.

"Everyone, whether it's humans, or monsters, or weird people! I'm Chiaki..."

Qianqiu's voice fell, and there was some movement in the audience, but it soon became quiet... It can even be said that many people around the world are now watching Qianqiu at this moment.

The whole world is quieter than usual.

"I'm one of the weird kings of the Tokyo United...Is it amazing? I am human, but I am the king of weirdness. It is with the promise of Himenomiya Wuming, with our common dream, in the common world between humans, monsters, and monsters. Under the expectations of the king, the king of weirdness was gifted! Sounds like... a bit of a middle school, doesn't it?"

All the people who knew Qianqiu smiled sincerely for it. They looked at Qianqiu step by step, from a human who had the same dream as Ji Gong Wuming to a person who Ji Gong Wuming trusted and trusted Ji Gong Wuming. ; to the king of weirdness in Tokyo United.

And all those who don't know Qianqiu have more or less put down what they are doing...such as making kimchi, opening parties, teaching children to do homework, fighting polar bears, cutting baguettes and so on.

I began to pay attention to the speech of this person named [Qianqiu] on TV.

Fortunately, the TV stations of various countries are very generous and broadcast Qianqiu's speech at the moment... It is also very lucky that the bear, which obviously has intelligence, did not attack the strong man who stopped fighting, but Sit down and watch TV.

"Weird, monsters, humans, maybe there's no difference; monsters don't need to attack humans, humans don't need to be afraid of weirdness, monsters can coexist peacefully with everyone... This is, me and Himeko, me and everyone common dream."

"Maybe many people can't understand it..."

"In the white night, the weird and the humans and monsters chat happily together in the shade and in the sun, and share the joy of every day; in the night, the weird and the humans and monsters eat delicious food in the night market together, in the KTV Sing freely."

"People and monsters can laugh shoulder to shoulder, monsters and monsters can call each other brothers and sisters, monsters and humans can kiss under the sunset, and go to the palace of marriage together."

"The death of a loved one is turned into a miracle by longing; the death of a loved one is redeemed by a sincere heart... Become a strange person and no longer suffer the pain of parting; witness an important person become a strange person, and no longer need to feel the sadness ."

"This is my dream. It is the unnamed Hime Palace, the dream of the entire Tokyo united. It can even be said..."

As Qianqiu said this, he took a deep breath, and his high voice seemed to reveal extreme pride and pride, which spread to every corner of the world: "This is it! Now here (Tokyo)!"

"..."

Everyone in the world watching Qianqiu's speech has more or less thought of something... The hands that wipe the dishes are getting slower and slower, the frequency of turning pages is getting slower, and the expressionless people are beginning to move.

Surviving in this world, more or less, will encounter some tragedies... Qianqiu's words have more or less caused a little feeling and a little longing.

In Qianqiu's words, will the place realized by their dreams one day cover the whole world?Will one day everyone be free to live every moment of their lives?

"I know that there are places in this world where humans and monsters, including monsters, divide the world's time equally, with half being human and the other half being weird."

"I know that there are places in this world where humans are strong and weird and weak. The weird must hide to survive. There are places where the weird is strong and the weird is weak, and then the situation will be reversed."

"why?"

Qianqiu questioned like this, he pointed to the sky with one hand, and raised his own doubts: "Why is this? We, shouldn't we be the same? I... What am I?"

Having said that, Chiaki showed everyone the [Human (Human)] pattern on his shirt on his chest, and turned around again, showing the word [Weird] on his back.

"Am I human? Maybe... am I weird? Maybe... But before that, before I was defined by my race, I was unquestionably Chiaki."

"I am Qianqiu first... No, I am always Qianqiu, and only Qianqiu!"

Qianqiu nodded very calmly, and his voice changed from a certain oath to a graceful narration, saying softly: "I am impartial, I am standing here... I will not escape, I will not deny, Because I am who I am."

"Those who dream of such a peaceful future... please raise your head and look at me."

As Qianqiu spoke, he stared at the largest and most obvious camera, the confidence in the dream, the hope in the future... like the stars in the sky, people couldn't take their eyes away.

……

If it is said that a quantitative value is given to the degree of synchronization of intelligent creatures in the world... Then, the moment when humans or people with [human souls] are most synchronized may be now, and they are in sync with them. of……

With heart and soul, look at Qianqiu, who is thousands of miles away.

===Chapter 4 Charm and Eloquence===

"At this moment, as one of the [Kings] of Tokyo United, and as myself named [Qianqiu], I appeal to the world... No, maybe this is not an appeal, but a warning."

Qianqiu said this, and he spoke calmly, as if he had calmed down, but it seemed to hide a repressed but unexploded mountain fire, he said: "Next, the battle of Tokyo United will be The battle to decide the future of the world."

"Compared to our enemy, our power is too weak... The other party is a person who is chasing power, and maybe he doesn't care about anything other than power, maybe just kill us, the other party will accept hand."

"Maybe as long as we give up resistance, the world will..."

"..."

----------

The girl watching the TV turned her head to look at Inoue who was lying on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone at the moment, and asked, "Sister Inoue, after you... are you going to kill Qianqiu?"

"What if I say yes?"

Inoue responded absentmindedly, paused the mobile game of playing marbles in her hand, and raised her head to look at the screen on the TV. She listened to Qianqiu saying a series of [perhaps]... Knowing that there will be [ but】……

"Then, I will organize Sister Inoue you."

"..."

For the girl who was serious, Inoue leaned on the sofa and responded, "It seems that you also agree with Qianqiu's dream... My dream of [chasing power] is really more than Qianqiu's dream. Bad?"

"That was not what I meant."

The girl shook her head and said, she frowned slightly and said, "I don't think there is any difference between dreams and dreams... My dreams are also for strength."

In this regard, Inoue nodded understandingly, and then said something to reassure the girl, saying: "Ah~ I understand, but you can also relax, if it is not necessary, I have no intention of killing anyone. "

"If necessary?"

the girl asked...

"I would kill anyone."

After hearing such an answer from Inoue, the girl seemed to be puffed up: "Well..."

Looking at such a girl, Inoue chuckled lightly, and she said, "But to be honest, I even admire Qianqiu a little... He really told the world that [the enemy may not be thinking about destroying the world]."

Indeed, in this case, there is no doubt that most people are given an excuse to back down, and most people are given a fluke... Even if Inoue really does not have this intention.

"If it was me, I couldn't do it... I can almost understand what Qianqiu relies on and has your support. The peaceful future he created is actually not as good as I once imagined. hypocritical."

Inoue, who said this, seemed to give Qianqiu a high evaluation, but she then smiled and said: "But if the other party stops me before I get the snake slough, I will still deal with it mercilessly... …”

"elder sister……"

Listening to the girl's resentful voice, Inoue shook his head, showing a crazy smile, and responded: "For example, to persuade me, it is better to persuade the guys from Tokyo United to let them hand over the snake slough obediently, and we will never owe each other. "

"Will the two really owe each other?"

"Of course!"

However, after such a conversation, the two heard Qianqiu's speech on TV at the same time, looked at Qianqiu facing the camera, and said sincerely: "But, that's power, isn't it?"

"Can the pursuit of power really come to an end one day? After killing us and taking away the source of power, what if the endless desire runs counter to the morality of the world itself?"

"I consider myself to be a good person, my dream, the dream shared with Hime Gong Wuming... Everyone can only doubt [can it be achieved?], not fear [what if our dream is completed?] Bar?"

"However, the other party is different. If the other party's pursuit of power extends to the control of military power and the power of all human beings... then there is no way to stop it."

"If dreams are placed on both ends of the scale, I... at least I think that the word that is given to everyone's dreams in Tokyo United is [good], and the other side's dream is undoubtedly [evil]. "

"Even if the other party's dream still has a hint of gentleness, it may change at some point... At that moment, the world will collapse without reservation."

"..."

Listening to Chiaki's speech, Inoue and the girl looked at each other, and Inoue could only spread out his hands and said with a disdainful expression: "Okay, Chiaki is right, but so what? My dreams will indeed deteriorate. ."

"My long-cherished wish may also gradually move from pure power to broad power... Tsk, damn, the guy named Qianqiu may be right, my dream will definitely change."

After taking a serious look at his unhappy tut from Inoue, the girl said again [Huh? ! ] shook his head and said in defense: "But, even if my dream will change, but Qianqiu's dream will not? How can there be..."

Originally, what Inoue wanted to say was [there is no such thing in the world], but...

"Some people may ask, and they will think with doubts [If the dream of the enemy in your mouth will change, won't the dream of your Chiaki and Tokyo United?], my answer is... It has already changed. already."

"I used to be a person without dreams, living in a daze, fulfilling the wishes entrusted to me by others meaningless, but after I met Ji Gong Wuming, everything changed."

"When I die, I won't regret that I have entrusted the rest of my life to a peaceful dream of sharing day and night... If I say spoilage, isn't that spoiled long ago?!"

"This dream has deteriorated since it was born! And it can't get any better, it deserves the name of [Fantasy]! It's like aged grapes, fermented into a beautiful crimson!"

"Look back on your past self and compare your present self... If someone asks you if the dream you once had was beautiful, whether it has been inherited in the present, or has it deteriorated? I will only answer—"

"It has already deteriorated! And it has become immutable at that time!"

"..."

"..."

"Ha...recall...the old self...? Ha...ha..."

Inoue gasped heavily, and then turned off the TV under the girl's caring gaze... But she couldn't help turning it on in the next moment, she said, "Qianqiu... What the hell is this guy... talking about? ?!"

Why...beliefs are being shaken?

"I want to help him..."

"Ah? Are you out of your mind..."

"I want to help them."
