I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"Fu'er, right? I've read your performance in the report. In the incident a few days ago, you did a good job."

"It's nothing...it's probably just a survival instinct, Director Zhang."

"Hahaha, you don't have to be too modest. But having said that, I actually don't like the title Director very much, so in private you can also call me Uncle Zhang, Third Uncle, or like the guy next to you, you can call me Boss. "

Director Zhang waved his hand, pointed to the seat in front of him, and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

"Well, boss...I..."

"Okay, it's not like I don't understand your temperament, or is it that the [King of Talkatives] from the Tangtang branch has lost his temper when he comes to me?"

The director looked at Harts jokingly, recalling some internal rumors of the administration and jokingly said.

"Or should I call you by your nickname? The driver of Gangdamu, the successor of the Giant of Light, the indecisive three-axe, the hero king of the children, the talker of his colleagues, the strongest tool in the branch, haha Mr. Ci Dada Dada?"

"Boss, I beg you, can you let me leave a little bit of a good impression in front of the newcomers?"

"Uh... Actually, if you and I exchange squirts in the woods one day, you won't be able to leave a good impression..."

Fu'er twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"Oh~ You're still going into the woods with your juniors? That's interesting. I'll give this breaking news to the guys at the real newspaper."

"Hey! So you are also involved!"

I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious, my phone and computer are all smashed.

We are so angry, what should we do to avoid being victimized?

"Well...can I ask, what does [newcomer] mean?"

Fu'er raised his hand and asked:

"That is to say, do you really want me to join the Heroes Administration when I come here this time?"

"Normally that's the case."

The director took out a document from under his desk, with the words "Contract for Standing Combat Staff of the Hero Administration" clearly printed on the front. He placed it on the table facing Fu'er and pushed it to him gently.

But just when Fu'er was about to take the document and look at it carefully, the other party took it back.

"Of course, this is just normal."

"?"

Fu'er's eyes followed the retrieved document. After the other party took the document back, he just smiled contemptuously, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside casually.

"Since we are in the name of heroes, we certainly won't do anything to force a child who is not yet an adult to join the Bureau. Don't rush to refute [the child]. Do you know how old I am?"

Looking at Ful, who seemed to object to being called a child, the director said.

"I was born in 1933. I have actually lived for 161 years now~ Whether it is the great disaster or the birth of the first hero, they are all things that I have personally experienced. So. Regardless of whether you are an adult or not, you are still a child to me. How about that, are you shocked?"

"161 years??!!!"

Fu'er couldn't help but exclaimed as he recalled the history taught by Mr.

"Wait! 161 years? But according to outside reports, the position of director of the Hero Administration Bureau changes normally. It should be the 9th director by now. But it seems that every time there is a change, it is just The report briefly mentioned that even the name and photo of the director were not published. I originally thought it was just to keep the information confidential, but looking at it now...could it be that...the so-called director of the Hero Administration Bureau, the so-called sword-wielding Have people’s positions never changed?”

Fu'er made a guess and then asked tentatively.

"Are you the rumored first sword holder and the first hero who developed the [Hero] system? Is this ability of immortality also a blessing from the Alaya Consciousness?"

"Well, you can deduce so many things from just one simple place. You really have that talent. But unfortunately, there is still something wrong with your reasoning. But it's not your fault, it's just insufficient information. "

Regarding Ful's reasoning, although it was still very crude, the director still nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"I am not immortal. My past body has been destroyed long ago. This body now is just a special product from [Atlas Court]. As for the blessing..."

"It's not a blessing, it's a curse."

"curse?"

"Yes, a curse. In order to achieve the ideal of saving the world, I endured the curse for the power to lift the sword of humanity. But the topic has digressed and let's get back to the topic."

The director cleared his throat, then his tone became slightly more serious, and he said to Ful.

"As the [Director] of the Hero Management Bureau, I should be in charge of all those who have received the blessing of Alaya and possess the power of miracles. But as a [Hero], I am not allowed to do anything that forces a minor to It’s like a high school student casually stepping into this cruel battlefield.”

"But... I do control the power that can distort the world, don't I? To be honest, when I woke up from the branch hospital that day, I had already made plans not to go home. With power, People must be supervised, isn’t this the rule you set when you created the Hero Administration?”

"Although the purpose of my creation of the Hero Management Bureau is indeed to allow humans to use the power of miracles reasonably and efficiently under supervision, after all, rules are rules and principles are principles. Didn't the person next to you ignore the rules and run to save people last time? Yet?"

The director smiled and glanced at Hartz, who was sitting aside and trying to reduce his presence, then shook his head and continued.

"What's more, the duty of the Hero Management Bureau is to manage [heroes], and you are not a [hero], right-"

The director turned his palm over, palm facing up. With a slight upward movement, Fu'er felt a hot temperature in his chest. As the light passed by, an engraving appeared from the flickering light.

"Am I right? Your Excellency [Sage]?"

Fu'er caught his seal with his hand, and then looked at the director with some surprise, as if he was wondering where the other party learned this fact.

"You don't have to think about how I learned about it. Speaking of which, you have been looking at her from time to time since you first came in, right."

The director pointed to the crystal behind him, or the pink girl sleeping in the crystal, and said.

"Since she is still sleeping, let me introduce myself to her."

"She is the person who gathers the will of all mankind and exists as a collective body of human pan-consciousness, commonly known as - [Alaya Consciousness]."

"Although you are not a hero, you are still a person who controls miracles and receives blessings from Alaya Consciousness. It is natural that you will be attracted by her."

"Is this... [Alaya Consciousness]? Are those rumors true?"

Fu'er felt a little unbelievable. He originally thought that the so-called human pan-consciousness collective should be a more conceptual existence, and those so-called rumors should be just gimmicks imagined by some dead nerds.

"Although I don't know which rumor you are referring to, I guess you should be talking about the one [Alaya actually has a human body and is a beautiful woman]. Congratulations, you bingo."

The director stood up, walked to the crystal, touched it lightly, then turned his head and continued.

"So, of course I learned your identity from her. The person who blesses you should always know what he is blessing, right?"

"........."

Fu'er's mind was a little groggy after receiving too much information at once, but he still asked.

"Then...since you are not forcing me to join the Bureau, what is the purpose of calling me here today?"

"To be precise, I don't want a child who has not yet decided on his life to forcefully embark on the road of becoming a [hero]. If you are an adult, I will put you under the supervision of the Hero Management Bureau no matter what. middle."

"But? Isn't it more dangerous for a child to control power beyond his own ability? It is the most terrifying thing for immature people to control such power that can distort the world."

Fu'er asked with some confusion.

"Normally speaking, everything you said is fine. In other words, you can think so carefully from the perspective of a person with power, which makes me even more reassured."

"However, this is certainly not enough to convince you. Let me explain it to you like this."

"You are the person chosen by Alaya, and you are an existence recognized by the subconscious of all mankind. As long as you are not guided and used by someone with intentions, you will naturally not do those things that disrupt order. So no matter what you did in the end today Choose, and all relevant information about you will become top secret and will not be leaked. Do you hear that? Hartz."

"Yes!"

Seeing Hartz's confident response, the director nodded with satisfaction.

"There is a new guidance utilization...what does it mean?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Calamity Cult and those lunatics from the Doomsday Seeking Society!"

Hartz said with some contempt.

"Aren't those some third-rate cults?"

"That's just how positive reports explain it. After all, if the public knows too much about the existence of these guys, it will be propaganda for them. In addition, they mainly move around the border, and one of their strongholds in the original world is basically regarded as It has become a federal achievement, so the public only needs to at least understand that these are harmful cults."

"Is that so? To be honest, I really want to say that I will never be deceived by the other party, but I don't have much confidence."

The director walked back to his desk and sat down again, then said with a smile.

"You can believe in yourself more~ This is what Alaya asked me to say to you."

"Wait a minute, isn't [Alaya Consciousness] imprisoned in this crystal?"

"What are you thinking? She is just sleeping, but she feels that sleeping in the crystal is more comfortable than sleeping on the bed, so she goes here to sleep every now and then. If this crystal is not immovable, she would have been there early She moved into her bedroom. What she said just now was what she said to me herself."

"Do you believe in... yourself more..."

Fu Er murmured to himself and then asked.

"So, what choice do you want me to make?"

"Don't be so serious~ You have to learn this from the senior next to you. Hartz is very good at adjusting the atmosphere~"

"That director... Although I am quite good at adjusting the atmosphere, can you please stop using me to adjust the atmosphere..."

Hartz, who was shot while lying down, said he felt very sad and had no choice but to dare not be shy in front of his boss.

"Then, neither as [Director] nor as [Hero], I will ask you a question as [Sword Holder]."

The sword holder smiled and took out another document that had been prepared from under the table.

"Are you interested in border summer camp?"
