"Pfft~ Giggles~"
"Hehehehe~"
"Hehe~"
"Hahahahaha!"
He answered honestly, his feigned naivety amusing everyone present. Lian Feng lightly covered her mouth with the back of her hand, the corners of her lips curving upward.
The other two girls, Du Qiangwei and Leina, one lowered her head and smiled, the other laughed heartily.
Du Kao smiled and said, "If you had been this well-behaved yesterday, why would we have gone to so much trouble?"
Wang Ji smiled harmlessly, a kind of naivety seeming innate on his young, handsome face. Although everyone knew it was fake, they still found it quite amusing.
Yesterday, capturing this guy was a bigger deal than fighting the Taotie!
Sandwiched between them, he honestly replied, "It's mainly because I've watched too many movies, watched too many... um."
Du Kao smiled, ignoring this slippery fellow.
If one wasn't too serious, based on this child's upbringing, all his behavior could be understood.
"Well, I've heard about your situation, and after just learning more..." Chief Huang Ze looked at Wang Ji and began to speak.
His naturally stern expression tried to convey some kindness: "Are you interested in talking about suddenly gaining superpowers, going abroad, and what you plan to do in Country A?"
All eyes focused on Wang Ji, each gaze filled with wisdom. Being reasonably intelligent, he understood that in this situation, they could discern the truth from every word he spoke.
"Um..."
Wang Ji paused. Under the old man's gaze, his naivety gradually dissipated, leaving only a habitual smile. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "To start a little business..."
The others exchanged glances, finding it somewhat amusing, while Huang Ze looked at him seriously, earnestly asking, "What kind of business?"
His gaze was like looking at an immature child, which, in reality, he was.
"It's... you know." Wang Ji's young face carried a hint of age-appropriate shyness, clearly finding it somewhat difficult to articulate.
He continued, "It's not just Country A, or I might go to many places. You know, with my current abilities, I can probably do anything easily.
The quality of life will be very good, my status will also improve, freedom is within easy reach... and so on."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was not surprised, but their smiles couldn't help but diminish a little.
"Becoming a local tyrant? Or ruling the world?" The old man Huang Ze continued to ask.
He wasn't surprised either. With his wisdom, he could understand many things, especially people's hearts.
A Jie and Du Qiangwei beside Wang Ji were somewhat surprised, even Du Kao and Lian Feng were surprised, because after catching this kid yesterday, they also asked many questions, such as why he wanted to run away, but the response was only that kind of perfunctory answer that seemed to be the truth.
A Jie stayed with Wang Ji all night last night, but couldn't get half a sincere word out of him.
But facing Huang Ze, they could all feel that Wang Ji's attitude had obviously become much more serious, as if he trusted him more.
Could it be... because of what they always see on TV?
"Becoming a local tyrant is a bit small, ruling the world is a bit big, but developing as much as possible is enough to turn my life upside down.
I don't have many well-thought-out plans, because I haven't specifically come into contact with the outside world yet, and only have some definite knowledge from the online information world, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
If there is any power similar to mine, I will have to come into contact with it sooner or later, whether it's cooperation or struggle."
Wang Ji didn't deny it, his gaze was calm, calmly looking at the old man opposite him.
"As expected." Huang Ze nodded.
Everyone's aura quieted down, looking at this big boy who had just turned eighteen, as if they needed to recognize him again.
"Then why do you have to go abroad?" the old man asked.
"This is very simple..." Wang Ji's arms were held, but he seemed to have regained some of the demeanor that a superhuman should have, his expression calm: "If I am a scourge, I don't need to harm my own nation and country.
Although I believe that I will mostly succeed, and if I succeed, I will not only not harm others, but also benefit them."
"Then, having superpowers, haven't you ever thought about serving the country? Is it because you lack trust in your own country?"
The expressions of the others were a little solemn, but the old man Huang Ze had a slight smile on his face, he looked at Wang Ji as if he was looking at a junior and a child, kind and amiable.
"If there are clear assessment and recruitment standards, clear benefits and scope of work, and it's all aboveboard, maybe I'll give it a try." Wang Ji said frankly, "But there's nothing, how can I guarantee that I won't encounter a similar dangerous situation of being sliced up like in the movies?
Am I supposed to tentatively contact departments I'm not familiar with one by one, and say to people as soon as I meet them, do you know superheroes? Do you know if the country is recruiting superheroes?
I can't be that stupid.
Frankly speaking, perhaps I don't have a very high level of awareness.
Compared to an unclear future, and the possibility of losing my life due to carelessness, perhaps it would be a hundred times better to control my own destiny.
And I have the power, of course I should grasp the future I should have.
To put it bluntly, if I am powerful enough to dominate and be carefree, it's not impossible to serve the country."
"Even though you just saved our soldiers, you still don't believe it?" Huang Ze said, with a bitter sigh, "You child... in the end, you are still suspicious and cautious enough."
In fact, when all is said and done, this is the reaction a normal ordinary person should have, and he can understand it.
And considering this child's life experience, no one can actually blame him, his choice is closely related to his experience and the character he has formed.
Unfettered, parents dead, helpless since childhood, unable to even keep the two houses and property left by his parents...
No one knows how he got through so many lonely dark nights alone from a young age, one lonely birthday after another.
At a young age, the torment and suffering he has experienced, and the damage to his mind, are probably unimaginable to ordinary people.
If it weren't for his talent in computers, he probably wouldn't even be able to finish college.
With such an experience, being cautious is the only way to survive to this age.
"Your uncle..."
"I don't have an uncle."
"Alas... there will be a result to this matter." Huang Ze nodded, with some indifference in his eyes.
"For me, it's actually no longer necessary, but I won't stop justice from coming." Wang Ji said lightly.
Countless dark nights, countless resentments and tears told him that revenge and resentment cannot make him happy.
So, after struggling to come of age and truly gaining the ability to stand on his own, he wasn't in a hurry to seek revenge or reclaim justice, even with superpowers.
"Now I understand, the Earth is facing a crisis, and perhaps I cannot remain aloof," Wang Ji nodded.
"But why did you have to run yesterday?" Du Qiangwei couldn't help but ask, "Jess and I explained everything to you. We have no malicious intent. We represent the country."
"Sorry, I was overthinking it," Wang Ji lowered his head and looked at his bound arms...
Then he chuckled, "But I believe, if two aliens were to capture you, you would also run from start to finish."
He looked at Jess, then at Du Qiangwei, and smiled slightly.
He looked at Lian Feng, Du Kao, and that Leina, and smiled slightly.
"Even if they were flying a WZ-19."
