I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

Since it is an incomplete memory, it is inevitable that there will be intermittent fragments.

Rather than saying that this is something that suddenly came to mind at an inappropriate time, it is better to say that it has been lurking for a long time, waiting for an opportunity before it can break through the barrier like a sprout that breaks through the ground.

However, when the barrier was broken, what was obtained was not the desired warmth and light.

It's another kind of thing that makes the heart that has not yet calmed down sink into the depths of the quagmire.

——That is an ancient story that happened thousands of years ago.

Just because the time is too long, the bones of the people who lived in the past have long been reduced to ashes, and the remaining traces are covered by the gravel carried by Time Lancang, leaving only the surface of the stone slabs that recorded the story blurred and fragmented.

A lot of text is missing, and only part of it can be seen clearly.

Born together with the epic—no, it should be said that one of the heroes who directly allowed the stories recorded in the epic to be born, the only remaining man who has lived to this day can't remember the complete story.

Just like broken slates.

The lines and glyphs that were barely assembled are pieced together again, and what is obtained is a majestic epic as vast and long as the long river of history.

……

In the ancient times when the gods still existed, there was a rich country named 【】.

In order to protect the people, the king and his best friends bravely went to crusade against the monster【】.

In the fir grove occupied by Humbaba, they met another warrior.

The warrior's name is 【 】, and he also came to attack the wounded 【 】.

When the king and his best friend arrived, [ ] had been defeated by the warriors with all their might.

Frost was everywhere, as if the winter that would never arrive had arrived in an instant, but the melting of the ice and snow brought endless vitality to the dry land.

Shocked by the warrior's righteous deeds, the king brought the seriously injured warrior back to 【】 to heal his wounds carefully.

When the warrior regained consciousness, the king met him with martial arts.

After an earth-shattering battle, both the king and the warrior were overwhelmed by each other's bravery and strength.

Shaking hands and making peace, the two became friends.

Their friendship was so sincere that it even moved Wang's best friend who was watching from the sidelines to tears.

Wang, Wang's close friend, and the warriors who became mutual friends with the former two are the three most powerful people in the world.

Together, the three of them travel around the country, and work together to eradicate the monsters that have caused disasters everywhere, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment without being harmed.

The three of them are well-deserved heroes, the people who have been sheltered are grateful and respected, and the stone slabs are engraved with beautiful words of love.

If time stagnates here, there must be more passages full of beauty and hope to continue to sing praises for heroes.

However, God's punishment came because of a woman's jealousy.

The king rejected the goddess [ ]'s courtship, which brought bad luck.

The goddess releases 【 】, and lets 【 】 plunder the world.

The three living heroes worked together to kill 【】, but because of this, the crime of killing the creation of God fell on the three of them.

The king's best friend was the first to die due to divine punishment.

His body was broken, turned into clay, and returned to the earth.

Then the warriors who came from far away died.

The warrior was deeply saddened by the death of his friend, so he dragged the rotting body of 【】, step by step to the top of the giant mountain where the goddess was.

【】's corpse smashed down the noble and pure temple of the goddess, and the warrior held a blood-stained ice spear in his hand, and wanted to kill the god with a human body.

The tablet also records the outcome of the first god-killing act in human history.

Stupid warriors failed.His body was pierced by the bow and crossbow of God, and he fell together with the fragments of the mountain. He disappeared and never appeared again.

In the end, only the king who lost his two best friends survived.

The king has always stayed in his country, concentrating on government affairs, and governing the country more prosperously and powerfully as a virtuous king.

——This is what was recorded on the stone tablet that was finally discovered after thousands of years of precipitation.

What Eric recalled in a trance did match it.

matching...

not all.

Maybe he might be affected at first, but soon, he came back to his senses and discovered the most abrupt deviation point.

He is the "warrior" in the story, this can be determined first, beyond doubt.

During the adventure, I met two like-minded strong men, became friends with them, and explored and eradicated the monsters together... This is also correct.

In his memory, there were indeed two extremely distinct figures, but only their faces were blurred.

The remaining emotions can also clearly tell him that those two people are especially important to him.

He has a deep affection for them.

He sees them as special beings that are unique and will never be replaced.

He had respect for them, trust, care, and—

And... what?

that word.

Only a faint shadow appeared, but I couldn't figure it out.

Once it touches the slightest bit, it will be like an electric shock, and the dull pain will be transmitted to the heart.

What went wrong?

This question does not know the answer.

'They were my first--friends.My memory tells me so, but why do I still feel something is wrong, especially... friends?Why, why the hell is this irritability? '

Eric thought disturbedly.

Looking at it, it doesn't seem to be a problem no matter how you look at it.

Too.Before remembering all the past, no one would think so keenly that the problem actually lies in the positioning of "friends".

Epics are compiled by later generations, and the specific details of the story, and even the real relationship between the parties will not be fully understood.

And the part that Eric remembered, just skipped the most important "details".

For a certain goddess who not only has no name, but also no shadow at all, even if I can't remember the slightest bit, the disgust that goes deep into the soul is real.

The "Legend" mentioned that he failed to kill the gods and died under the mountain.But Eric felt that he must not be so useless.

The real death situation only happened once, and it should be quite later.After death and resurrection, he is now.

At that time—at least a thousand years away from the real death, the man who suffered serious injuries that mortals could not bear should have struggled to get up and returned to the country where the "best friends" used to be.

Then, between him and his "friend", some unspeakable things happened that were unknown to outsiders, and even he himself didn't want to think about it.

"..."

"What is it?"

What exactly happened, so that after many years, this man who didn't know anything would still feel the severe pain in his body as if some precious thing in the deepest part of his heart was shattered suddenly.

Compared with being cut by a bow and crossbow to make a big hole in the abdomen and chest, and the lungs inside are all burned by high temperature-this pain is much more severe.

Maybe it's because I touched something far deeper than the physical feeling, it's better not to think about it, once I think about it, the pain is unavoidable.

Was it betrayed?

Not like.

So what else could be the reason for this result?

Sure enough, I still can't think of it now.

At the top of the building, the wind roared from behind, blowing forward the silver hair of the boy who had been standing here for a long time.

His hair was very long, and he couldn't help swaying from side to side in the wind, slightly covering his eyes with a different expression.

"Really annoying."

The words that came out of the mouth were cold.

The influence from the "past" is not so easy to avoid, and this time it hits tirelessly again, as if he will not give up until he reaches his goal.

Eric did realize now that trying to shield these influences was not as simple as he first thought.

But what about him not to resist at all, but to accept everything from the "past" with great obedience, including the most annoying negative things?

"Impossible, don't even think about it."

Eric suddenly groaned, and gripped the blue necklace pulled out from under the collar tightly. After a while, he let go, and threw the gemstone pendant, which was more clear under the blue sky, back under the collar.

I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but when he holds the necklace, the coolness he feels in his palm can calm his mind, gradually get rid of his irritability, and become calm.

"Not only stupid, but also a lot of troubles, and a fool with little heart!"

The more things he remembered, the more Eric became dissatisfied with the "he" in the past, and now he cursed unceremoniously again.

In the first memory, his own impression was the clearest.

Although limited by the perspective, the owner of the memory cannot be seen.

However, the sound.

Sounds can always be heard.

Eric heard hearty laughter from the past.

Above the head is the always hot and bright sun, and under the brilliant sunlight, the man who is "him" stretches out his hand carelessly forward.

The man's arm was almost the same as now, still as white as snow.

But the sun can melt the cold snow and stain it with warm broken stars.The sunshine does not come from the top of his head, but lies in the self-confidence that he exudes from the inside out.

——[]!It's too slow, hurry up, [] is still waiting for us in front!

"He" held the hand of the person who stayed behind for a long time. It is conceivable that he was smiling brightly at that person, and his eyes were as bright as the scorching sun.

--Hahaha!Tired?Here, hold you.

"His" hands are strong and powerful, and the light around him can break through the frost and rejuvenate the earth, and he can also irresistibly crash into the hearts of others, allowing his own temperature to diffuse in.

No further description is needed.

This is a man who is the "sun" himself.

He is bold, hearty, and informal. If you take out all the positive adjectives and throw them at him, you can't go wrong with more.Because "he" is such a person.

It must be hard to believe.

Such a passionate and unrestrained man is undoubtedly the same person as the stern boy who fell into the memory here.

Eric shouldn't be cold enough to be "solitary".

But from the moment he woke up from the darkness, he looked like this now.

Hate noise, hate trouble even more, and habitually keep a distance from people.

There are very few people who can be accepted by him and formally leave a mark in their hearts. If there are guys who are not afraid of setbacks and want to try, they must work harder, and they will only do it after encountering countless obstacles.

The important reason why Eric didn't like his past self was found.

In stark contrast to the present self, the present self is still a "not so good" "past" that is visible to the naked eye, and no one likes it.

And don't ask what had to happen halfway to turn a sun-like man into the "boy" who is now a very difficult problem no matter how you look at it.

Eric vaguely realized that he had directly glimpsed a dark history that should have been buried long ago.

Moreover, if there is no accident, even if he doesn't like it, he has to go through the black history bit by bit.

……accurate.

It's really annoying.

It wasn't long before the necklace was thrown into the collar, and it was troublesome to lift it out and hold it.Eric really endured it before suppressing his emotions so that he would not continue to be affected by unreasonable boredom.

"Anyway, there's Saitama over there, so there won't be any problems going out, I'm still... hmm?"

Just finished talking to myself.

Eric frowned slightly, and looked down at the amusement park that could be seen at a glance.

It doesn't look wrong on the surface, and ordinary people in it will not notice that it spreads in an instant-what is that?

He couldn't tell what it was, but he could think that it should be one of the strange abilities of Saiki Kusuo.

Why there is such a big battle, you have to ask the two people who have already entered the garden.

"--what?"

Among the dense crowd, Saitama suddenly let out a voice of surprise.

Slowly, slowly, he raised his hand and pressed hard.

"what!"

Pressed into something quite soft.

This touch, once thought that it would only exist in the distant memory, is so familiar.

"Not sure about the situation of the opponent, I think it is necessary to do some camouflage before approaching them."

Let the "disguise" appear, and the boy with superpowers who quietly separated the amusement park from the outside world said: "Of course this is only a temporary disguise, and it will be invalid when you leave the amusement park. It won't always—"

"Trouble must continue for a long time, the longer the better! You can do it with your superpowers, you can definitely do it!!!"

Saitama was very excited when he regained his hair in an instant.

however.

"No."

"Do you want to try again..."

"No."

"By the way, boy Qimu, you are more Eric than Eric."

"What kind of strange usage is this? Is Eric an adjective." Saiki Kusuo complained unceremoniously.

However, the topic did not last long.

"Cheer up, be vigilant, the target person - there!"

At the most crowded ticket gate, a group of people passed through the inspection one by one, and formally entered the venue of the amusement park.

Two ordinary-looking girls, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Together with the girls, there are five other children.

Among them, the one with the least lively and cute expression, the glasses boy who seemed to have no interest in looking at it, and even twitched the corners of his mouth at the many facilities in the amusement park.

"It's about to start."

Saiki Kusuo said.

"It must be stopped, the first case—"
