Chapter 24 (1/2)

Under the Candle Light

Around dusk, Han left the hospital and took the subway back to the city He came off the subway at the busy business sector where the last battle took place Heand Monk as promised, today was the 7th day since the death of the 7 espers, and the citizens were holding a memorial ceremony for them

A lot of people came off the subway at this stop, and Han just followed the crowd and slowly exited the station He was shocked by what he saw on the street

At the moment, the sky hadn’t completely darkened yet, and many people have already lit up candles White candles were placed everywhere on both side of the streets, even on the s of the high-rises on the side

Night slowly fell It was as if people had hts, and all there as di the streets The atmosphere was filled with sorrow and remembrance

This night, the whole city was lit up by candles A lot of children were holding lanterns, also containing white candles The swinging around of the lanterns caused the diht to flicker

A young irl was really s a lantern Han noticed that the candle inside the lantern was also very small

“Moirl asked in a very small voice

“They are a group of very strong soldiers” The ht in battles to protect the earth and us”

The little girl thought for a second, “Will they protect me too?”

“Yep”

“Will they protect mommy?”

“Yep”

“Will they protect grandpa?”

“Yep”

“Will they protect grandma?”

“Yep, espers will protect our faarten They will also protect the aunties and uncles on the street They will protect everyone” The irl

Oh~

The little girl as if understood so, and she nodded her head heavily once, and said in a delightful voice, “I understood, espers are good people!”

Han sirl

Sometimes, people’s ioing to be reports on the news about how espers were using their power to bully the weaklings and causing chaos

But, people have all understood from this incident that, for both espers and ordinary people, there are a lot of bad people aood people

This is how the world has always been, the good people were always silent before they stepped out against the evil Just like Pang Zuolin, that younga bronze bull statue, the one who sacrificed hie the raider’s shi+p and protect the civilians

Now Pang Zuolin has become a hero known as the Bronze Bull Warrior His last words, “No matter hoeak Earth is, it’s still my home!” was non by everyone

But before Pang Zuolin beca Physical Education teacher He never bragged about his status as an esper, and just lived an ordinary life

The real heroes only stand up when the world need them, but normally they just remain unknown

As the person that experienced that battle first hand, Han saith his own eyes that these espers who usually reht to the battlefield Within 1 athered over 40 espers Within 3They were not soldiers, but when disasters striked, their speed was even faster than the army, and they were even more fearless!

More and h each candle provided a very weak light, when gathered they could still light up the darkness

Han stopped at a store’sand saw that the large screen TV inside was broadcasting the ideZhou Starting with these Asian cities, wherever the night fell, the candles representing hope lit up

Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo, the candle lights crossed the vast Pacific ocean and arrived at America, then from the Atlantic Ocean to Europe

Han felt so behind hi He didn’t knohen Cheng Zhong shaved his ponytails but noas bald, and Monk was carrying a giant backpack These two baldies standing together, it really looked like one big monk and one small monk
