Pepe took a breath, accelerated forward, drove the escape pod, and slammed into her brother's space armor.
"So, brother—"
Pepe bit her lips tightly, "You are still determined to kill Shannuya, right, after it just saved its life and saved everyone, without even the slightest hesitation?"
"forgive me."
The elder brother's voice was trembling, he closed his eyes as if in a cosmic armor, and reluctantly said, "In order to survive, we have no choice."
"To survive, it's ridiculous."
Pepe said, "Even if we can survive for a while with this method, what kind of people have we become? Wolf-hearted, ungrateful, bloodthirsty villains are just like the '40s' in the story. Thieves' same!
"Brother, I remember that you were not like this in the past. When you were a child, you liked listening to stories as much as I did. You listened to stories about good guys defeating bad guys and heroes defeating demons. You praised Ali Baba's kindness and good luck, and you worshiped Sinbad. Courage, you swear to be like the protagonist in the story, to be a great hero, to help good people, fight bad people, and do the right thing.
"Since when did you become like this, the 'Forty Thieves' in the story, an out-and-out villain! Is this really you, really, the real you? What are you doing? What are you still doing?" Do you know who you are now?"
"It doesn't matter, Pepe. In the face of survival, good and bad, right and wrong, have no meaning."
My brother said painfully, "Even if, even if I become the 'Forty Thieves', as long as I can survive."
"No, it's not enough, it's far from enough. Not only do we have to live, but we also have to live like a good person, like a hero. That's the real life, the real civilization!"
Pepe screamed, "If in order to survive, I turned myself into the 'Forty Thieves', turned the fleet into a den of robbers, broke all the laws, and trampled on all the bottom lines, would the people living like that be really happy? A group of bandits who have no morals, no bottom line, and inhumanity, can they really unite for a long time and overcome difficulties together?"
"You do not understand… "
brother said.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pepe:
"Yes, I really don't understand, I don't understand what you grown-ups are doing at all-to be a good person, to be a hero, to defend the homeland and justice, to fight against darkness and evil, this is not what you grown-ups write in the story, teach Something for all the little ones?"
The girl cried, "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. As long as you have a kind heart, uphold the principles of justice, and treat your friends with enthusiasm, you will be able to overcome all difficulties and defeat the most powerful enemy in the end, the prince!" Live happily with the princess—isn’t that what the story says, and isn’t that what the adults instill in the children, so that the children will be convinced of all this
"Why, jumping from the story to reality, from a child to an adult, everything changed drastically, and you all changed
"Tell me, who is wrong? Is it the story you adults specially wrote for children, or the adults themselves?"
"Maybe we were wrong."
The elder brother sighed softly, "But I still can't let you pass."
"why?"
Pepe asked, "Since I know I was wrong, why don't I think of a way to change, stop, and redeem it—it's still too late!"
"You do not understand."
Brother said, "It's very complicated, I have no choice."
"Why does everything become 'very complicated' in the eyes of you adults? Can't you simply follow your heart and do the right thing, the just thing, the kind thing?"
Pepe shouted, "You obviously have a choice, you just need to get out of the way and let me pass!"
"Do not."
Brother said, "No."
"Then, then—"
Pepe took a deep breath, "Destroy me, just like you are going to kill Shannuya, destroy my escape pod!"
"impossible."
The elder brother said, "I won't do anything to you, but I can't just sit and watch you tell the Void Hunter everything and make it possible to kill everyone."
"Then trust me."
Pepe said, "I will never let you kill Shannuya, but I will never let Shannuya kill you either."
"This is impossible."
The elder brother said, "Even you, there is no way to predict and control the behavior of the Void Hunter."
"I know, but I've figured out a way."
Pepe said, "Minimize the chance of possible danger—again, I won't let it hurt you, and I won't let you hurt it."
"any solution?"
The elder brother was slightly taken aback.
"I can't say it now, it won't work if I say it."
Pepe begged, "Brother, believe me, I can do it, give me a chance to try, give the things you guard a chance, and give the stories of heroes and good people a chance!"
Brother was silent.
The cosmic armor trembled violently, as if it was under tremendous pressure from the inside out.
"Do you still remember the games we used to play when we were young? I played Malkina in the game, and you played Ali Baba, but no kid wants to play the forty thieves!"
Pepe's voice was crying, "Our civilization has a total of one hundred fleets, if ninety-nine of them choose to become the 'Forty Thieves', there should be at least one, try to become 'Alibaba' and 'Marki' Na', right, brother, right?"
The brother remained silent.
The cosmic battle armor stopped trembling, like a thinking statue, floating quietly in front of Pepe.
"Trust me, brother, I can save everyone, save everyone!"
Pepe screamed, "Please, trust me!"
When the escape pod passed by the space armor lightly, my brother still didn't speak, but... he didn't make a move to stop it either.
The escape pod continued to accelerate, getting farther and farther away from the space armor, and getting closer to the void hunter.
My brother still didn't make any movements, as if the space armor was empty.
"elder brother?"
Pepe was surprised and delighted, calling softly on the communication channel.
"I am here."
My brother finally spoke, his voice was low and difficult as if he was exhausted, "Pepe, now, everyone's lives are in your hands."
Not far away, there are a few more shining rays of light, lasing towards.
It was Dad and the four members of the guards, also driving the space armor, menacing.
"Where are people?"
Dad asked in a deep voice.
"Just passed."
The brother replied calmly.
"Bastard, what's wrong, hurry up!"
Dad growled, waved his hand, and led the four guards to chase after Pepe's escape pod.
However, as soon as they started, the cosmic armor sent a sharp alarm beep.
The scorching light from the elder brother turned into magma in the sea of stars, enveloping them head to head.
"what the hell."
Dad was shocked and yelled, "You're crazy!"
"I have no idea."
My brother smiled wryly, opened his arms, and stopped in front of the five space armors, "Maybe."
"Ricky!"
Dad was dumbfounded, "What are you doing?"
"Do your duty as a soldier."
The elder brother was silent for a long time, and said word by word, "Fight for what we have been protecting."
