Chapter 394: Middle School Boy Yi Hao

Hearing Dante's question, Yi Hao did not answer immediately.

He first took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one for himself, then handed another one to Dante.

Dante hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to take it.

Yi Hao took a light puff, then turned his head to look at Dante and smiled:

"When was the last time we sat together to smoke?"

Dante thought about it, then whispered:

"When I was receiving victim training."

Yi Hao nodded, he took another puff, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Time flies, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"In fact, being able to live so long is beyond my expectation."

As he spoke, his tone became low.

"In fact, I am different from you."

"You once told me that you joined the prison guards because you had no place to eat."

"And I am different."

At this point, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Haha, my situation is completely different from yours."

"In life, I am a good-for-nothing waste."

"When I was just out of school, I had high aspirations."

"I thought everything was just so-so, looked down on the rich, and thought I would be richer than them one day."

"With this mentality, I participated in the work."

"In less than half a year, I was slapped in the face by reality."

"I didn't get along with my colleagues and had disputes with my boss every day."

"As a result, I was isolated by my colleagues and disliked by my boss."

As he said this, he laughed again.

"Haha, but I still look down on that group of people."

"Then I was fired, in just half a year."

"As for why it was half a year, it was because the contract was signed for half a year."

"Then I changed jobs again, but the ending was still the same."

"I was still rejected by the people in the company."

"After being fired again, I stayed in my rental house every day playing games and reading novels."

"But I have to say that I was really happy during that time."

At this time, the cigarette in Dante's hand had burned out.

He still held the cigarette butt, looking at Yi Hao calmly.

Seemingly feeling a little depressed, Yi Hao lit another one for himself.

After taking a light puff, the smile on his face became a little stiff.

"I understand, I understand everything."

"In fact, the person I look down on is myself."

"I use my thorns to protect my fragile heart."

"I am just an ordinary person with no special skills."

"Even the school I go to is not a serious school."

Hearing this, Dante laughed and said:

"I understand, a middle school boy."

Hearing this, Yi Hao raised his hand and punched Dante.

Then he nodded gently and said:

"You are right, I used to be a middle school boy."

"I have high aspirations, but I never take any action."

"During the decadent period of the rental house, I fantasized about the end of the world all day long, and I became the savior as the chosen one."

"Then I became the leader of the world with this."

As he said this, he laughed again.

"Haha, come to think of it, the reasons why we both joined the prison guards are similar."

"You have no place to eat, and I have no food to eat."

"The days of lying flat are certainly happy, but reality... is so realistic."

"Then I joined the prison guards."

"But, I said that we are different, and it started from here."

Halfway through his words, he found that the cigarette in his hand had burned out.

So he took out the cigarette box from his pocket, and then found that the cigarette box was already empty.

He crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and threw it on the ground, then turned his head to look at Dante and asked:

"Do you still have cigarettes?"

Dante shook his head and said:

"Sorry, I quit."

Yi Hao was stunned, and then nodded as if he suddenly realized something.

"No wonder you didn't give me cigarettes."

But he didn't dwell on it.

He rubbed his hands, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"In the prison guard, I fulfilled my fantasy during the decadent period."

"During the time when I was working in the field, I saw a different world."

"Dark prison, strange creatures, and containment."

"Every time I went on duty, I felt extremely excited."

"It was as if I really became the savior, the protagonist."

"And my captain taught me a lot about life."

"The most important point is, do you know what it is?"

Dante shook his head gently without saying anything.

Yi Hao sighed and smiled brightly.

"A sense of identity."

"Identity from teammates and from the organization."

"And...self-identity."

"The middle school boy removed the thorns in his heart and began to face the world."

"I know that everything I do is meaningful."

As he spoke, the smile on his face became brighter.

He stood up and patted the dirt on his pants.

Dante remained silent. He already knew the answer from Yi Hao's words.

Yi Hao smiled and said:

"You just asked me, is it worth it?"

"Now I will answer your question directly."

"The answer is... worth it!"

"The human race may have all kinds of problems."

"Even in an organization like our prison guards, there are inevitably many pests hidden in it."

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"What I care about is the beautiful side."

"Those researchers, in order to understand the characteristics of the containment, even risk their own lives to obtain data."

"Every time those field soldiers enter the dark prison, it is equivalent to tying their heads to their belts, but have you heard of anyone retreating?"

"What the top leaders are like is the top leaders' business."

"I am just a cannon fodder sacrifice at the bottom. I only care about whether I can complete the mission."

"And how many ordinary people's lives can be saved unintentionally after the target is contained."

"After becoming a sacrifice, I have achieved self-identity and self-recognition."

"This is what I need."

Yi Hao said this very calmly.

He came to Dante's side, jumped up and patted his shoulder.

Danting, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned.

The smile on Yi Hao's face froze instantly, and then a touch of embarrassment emerged.

He coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

The scene fell into silence.

The silence was broken only when the assistant in the distance let out a roar.

Yi Hao sighed deeply and said in a faint tone:

"I am not advising you to continue to contribute to the human race."

"If I were you, I would also lose my favor for the human race after what you experienced that day."

"What I want to tell you is."

"Everything is up to your heart."
