章 5: Recalling Some Things
At this moment, the police officer had made up his mind - his life was definitely not trash. He stood up and walked directly toward the boy's cell.
The two people who had been talking were momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend what on earth was happening.
Before they could finish processing the situation, the police officer opened the youth's cell door, knelt down, and bowed his head, saying:
"My name is Long Wei. From now on, I vow to follow you and accept you as my master."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became incredibly silent - so quiet that even the sound of a mosquito flying by could be easily heard.
After being dumbfounded for a moment, the boy turned serious. He didn't believe that the man in front of him was joking. He could tell the man was being truly sincere.
But recognizing this was one thing - getting the other party to admit it was an entirely different issue.
"Can you tell me why? Clearly, I'm younger than you and haven't even finished high school. Why do you want to take me as your master? Moreover, accepting me as your master is completely different from me hiring you to do something."
Honestly, seeing the man's face battered and bruised but still speaking seriously made Azeroth feel a little strange. He thought:
"Being serious with that face looks a bit funny, but I can't deny that this person is very special. He may not be a genius, but throughout the ages, he is definitely a unique existence."
Hearing the boy's question, Long Wei replied frankly:
"I didn't make this decision impulsively. You are someone special, and people who are special don't care about age. The reason I accept you as my master is simple - to prove that I am not trash. I want to follow you to the highest place in this world."
Some things in this world are nearly impossible to change, such as the essence of a person.
There is a way to change it, but it's incredibly difficult - it requires killing oneself.
From deep within the mind, one must believe that they are already dead. This isn't a lie, achieving this level of conviction is natural and fundamentally correct.
Reaching that level is extremely hard. If one can actually kill themselves and then come back to life, their past would no longer matter at all.
The experiences they've gone through would be nothing more than scenes from a movie.
What they abandon is not just painful memories but everything—including joy and all other things.
How many people in this world would be willing to erase their own existence? How many would willingly erase all their efforts to step into a completely uncertain new path?
Seeing Long Wei's sincere attitude, the boy made a decision to change the direction of his future. He seriously said:
"I will become an emperor - a type of emperor that has never existed in history. Will you join me in leading humanity toward a great future?"
At this moment, Long Wei was stunned, and even Azeroth was dumbfounded. If it were an era of chaos, such a statement wouldn't have been too shocking, but the current situation was far from that.
After hesitating for a while, Long Wei asked:
"Are you planning a coup?"
The boy's eyes widened at that. He didn't recall saying anything of the sort. He immediately shook his head and responded:
"Coup? Look at China now compared to a hundred years ago, and it's clear the current government isn't bad. Besides, a coup would only plunge the people into misery and suffering. Why would I do that? 'Emperor' is just a title. What I mean is that at least I want to become the supreme leader of China in the future."
Hearing this, Long Wei sighed in relief. In his heart, he felt even more assured that the person he had chosen was indeed without issues.
As the atmosphere calmed, suddenly a burst of laughter echoed, and it was obvious who the owner of the laugh was.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The two were momentarily puzzled, and the boy furrowed his brows, asking:
"Why are you laughing? Is helping the people something to laugh at?"
Seeing this, Azeroth quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no. You just reminded me why I came here in the first place. My name is Azeroth. Do you want to come with me?"
Hearing this, the boy twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, recalling that he had just declared he wanted to be an emperor. And an emperor is the highest position - why would he follow someone else?
"What kind of joke are you making?"
"Oh, I think you misunderstood."
Azeroth said the he clarifying:
"You're a smart person, so you naturally understand the conflicts between nations, races, groups, religions, and so on. I don't have much, but what I do have is fairness. I don't need material wealth or fame, and I'm not entirely human either.
In the future, when you all face conflicts, I'll be there to help you reach a final resolution. You can think of me as a tool, an AI, or whatever you want."
Both of them were stunned upon hearing this - they hadn't expected such an objective from him. Before the boy could ask, Long Wei spoke up:
"We've already checked and confirmed you're human, so why are you saying you're not?"
At this, Azeroth appeared utterly surprised and asked in confusion:
"Wait, weren't you all helping me with a medical checkup?"
His absolute trust in the situation made Long Wei feel a little awkward. Still, there were things that needed to be said:
"Haiz, why are you so easily trusting? What if someone tries to take advantage of you?"
Hearing this, Azeroth looked at him and laughed heartily:
"Ha ha ha, I have another advantage - I trust everyone. If you want others to trust you, you must first trust them, right? You're all human beings with great potential, so why wouldn't I trust you?
Moreover, if everyone is always suspicious of each other, how could we focus on anything else? Remember this: humanity might betray me, but I will never betray humanity."
Both the boy and Long Wei felt an overwhelming sense of sincerity after hearing these words. Their perception of Azeroth shifted. The boy laughed and said:
"Ha ha ha, my name is Lei Feng. Azeroth, I'll follow you. I'll need your help in the future."
Long Wei also nodded, recognizing the one before him - not as a person, but as something beyond human.
"Good, good. The two of you have boundless potential, and I've started remembering a few things. The opportunity for you to realize your ambitions will come very soon."
"Huh, what do you mean?" the two asked in unison.
Suddenly, they felt a massive tremor ripple through the ground.
