Chapter 208 The Chosen One
Life is often more bizarre and tortuous than movies and TV shows.

Just like what Wang Yao feels now, before returning to the plateau, he never thought that he would be told a bloody "truth". And at this moment, he would never have thought that Zhuge Liang, who was revealing the inside story to him a second ago, suddenly made a 180-degree turn and asked him a more shocking question directly.

Are you willing to be a hero?
You know, in this world where heroes are supreme, this sentence is basically not much different from "Young man, I will give you supreme power and status." Especially when this sentence was said by the world-famous Zhuge Liang, its credibility is unquestionable, because Zhuge Liang would never make such a vulgar joke.

However, when Wang Yao heard this question which was enough to make an ordinary soldier overly excited to the point of sudden death, he was stunned for only half a second. He, who had been suffering from severe mental trauma since he entered the military tent, began to slowly calm down again, and his face became colder than ever before.

What does the world look like from the perspective of heroes?
Is there a canyon map in the upper left corner of the field of vision, and various signal missiles in the upper right corner? And in their eyes, do all creatures also have a "blood groove" hanging on their heads?

Wang Yao had been curious about this more than once.

It's no wonder. Ever since arriving in this marvelous alien continent, he's seen heroes calling the shots, almost as powerful as the superheroes in Marvel. As a normal young man in the 21st century, it would be a lie for Wang Yao to say that he has never yearned for it.

But, this was only the case before.

Because it was not until today that Wang Yao discovered that the heroes here were not as righteous as the Marvel superheroes. On the contrary, they despised life and would even deceive the world for their own selfish desires!
If Maomao and his men had not died tragically on the enemy's high ground, if Zhuge Liang had not told him the 'truth', perhaps when Zhuge Liang asked him "Are you willing to be a hero", Wang Yao would have agreed, whether for himself or for Luna.

"Why, don't you want to?" Zhuge Liang asked again, leaning back in his chair.

Wang Yao did not say anything, but just stared at Zhuge Liang intently.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang once again saw the deep disgust and contempt in Wang Yao's eyes, who had suddenly calmed down.

"Let's start from the beginning." Zhuge Liang clasped his hands together, crossed his legs, and straightened his back slightly. "I don't know how you were educated, but with your simple personality, maybe after you know the truth behind the lies, you will feel disgusted with us heroes and feel ashamed to be in the same category with us. But you are wrong. I can tell you this. No matter what era it is, the world is cruel. The darkness and ugliness of human nature will not disappear if you don't look at it. To put it another way, when we heroes reach this level, many things are not measured by right or wrong. Whether it is worth it is the standard for us to do things. You should accept this fact."

Perverse logic!!
Wang Yao still said nothing, and even sneered subconsciously.

Zhuge Liang didn't care, but continued: "You don't have to be disdainful. If you are really the one chosen by Su An, I think you will understand this truth one day."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang finally asked: "So, what is your answer?"

The military tent was dark and without light.

"Yes. I will be a hero." Wang Yao gave his answer.

However, before Zhuge Liang could speak, Wang Yao took a deep breath, his eyes reddened. "After you reveal the truth to the soldiers who have been deceived by your lies, after you confess and apologize to the soldiers who died in the canyon, after you, a bunch of inhumane guys, are nailed to the cross and left to be eaten and rotted by crows! I think, at that time, I will consider joining the ranks of heroes!"

Zhuge Liang was stunned. He stared at Wang Yao's ferocious face with an incredible look. After a while, he laughed dumbly: "Is this your answer?"

Wang Yao was probably the only one who refused to join the ranks of heroes as a small soldier with vicious words.

This is a person who is extremely firm in his position and will not succumb to secular forces. Perhaps this is why Su An chose this soldier?
At this moment, the tiredness that came with the relief enveloped Zhuge Liang's body and mind. "I think you are full of resentment now and can't listen to any arguments." Unconsciously, Zhuge Liang, whose expression gradually became depressed, raised his hand and gently waved at Wang Yao: "You go down, you need time to think calmly, I am also tired."

When the topic was at its most acute, Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, not expecting Zhuge Liang to suddenly order him to leave. Then a sneer appeared on his face: "Ha. Is it really okay to let me go like this? Once I walk out of this military tent, aren't you afraid that I will tear off the ugly masks of you heroes?"

"No, you won't." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang denied Wang Yao's provocative and inquiring gaze in a very firm tone.

"On the contrary, once you leave this military tent, you will never tell anyone else about these things. After a while, you will definitely come back to find me!"

Wang Yao's brows trembled slightly. He really hated Zhuge Liang's confident face, as if he had already foreseen the future!
Of course, Wang Yao, whose mind is now in a mess, no longer wants to argue with Zhuge Liang.

Now, he just wants to give the heroes a loud slap in the face without caring about the consequences!

"Just wait and see!" Wang Yao said this coldly and turned away rudely.

Behind him, Zhuge Liang's face uncontrollably turned weak again, like an old man on his last legs. He leaned weakly on the back of a chair and slowly closed his eyes.

He was indeed tired after carrying so much.

Outside the military tent, the night was dark.

Wang Yao lifted the curtain and strode out of Zhuge Liang's tent with a gloomy face.

No matter what others think, Wang Yao believes that he has done nothing wrong in rejecting Zhuge Liang and giving up on becoming a hero.

As a well-educated young man from Earth, Wang Yao has standard values ​​and moral bottom line. He is unwilling to collude with these monsters whose hands are stained with the blood of soldiers. In fact, the choice Zhuge Liang finally gave him was no different from winning them over and silencing them.

If Wang Yao agreed, it would be tantamount to tacitly accepting the cruel fact of using deception to use the soldiers as food to strengthen itself.

Wang Yao pursues power and desires to be strong, but he will never use such a cruel way to obtain it. He cannot tolerate the deceiving behavior of Zhuge Liang and others. He wants to expose this shocking lie to all the soldiers in the canyon!

However, just when Wang Yao was planning to create some chaos and attract the attention of all the soldiers in the high ground so as to reveal the "truth" to the world, a frosty night wind blew across his face, and Wang Yao suddenly froze in place as if he had been fixed by the hero's control skills.

With an inadvertent glance, the pupil of his right eye shrank into a small dot in that instant.

In front of him, he saw a black shadow that almost completely blended into the night, like a lifeless terracotta warrior, standing quietly thirty meters away from him.

That was the person Wang Yao least wanted to see.
