The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 106

Nighttime.

After the day’s downpour, the evening stars appeared clearer.

Su Li lay on the bed in the inn, looking at the starry sky through the window, and couldn’t help thinking again about what Egbert had said earlier that night.

—-“What we call correctness has always been, from beginning to end, just you.”

Such words, whether in normal or abnormal circumstances, rarely appear in everyday life.

Yet not only did these words emerge, they were delivered with a resounding voice.

How to put it?

It was the kind of statement that made one’s scalp tingle, but also made one realize that there really exists in this world a person who trusts another without reservation.

As the one being trusted, Su Li wasn’t necessarily anxious, but still felt…

.....

This truly was another world.

People from the country before his transmigration wouldn’t be so straightforward.

Then, he calmly accepted all of Egbert’s expressions.

And with this mindset, he began to reason backward: was his reluctance to clarify certain truths really just because once you place something that others are unwilling to accept before their eyes, it inevitably causes the forced recipient to become hysterical?

The moment the question formed, Su Li already had a negative answer in his heart.

His unwillingness to clarify everything perhaps did stem partly from not wanting to see others’ disbelief. But more than that, it was simply because he had never obtained the sense of security he wanted in this world.

The sense of security in modern society was relatively simple.

A small house that one could settle in, completely avoiding the possibility of being evicted by a landlord, a place truly one’s own.

And a cat with a decent temperament that could clearly provide companionship to someone living alone.

Beyond that, all one needed was basic wealth for daily expenses.

All these, in those years of hard work, he had already achieved.

Life was supposed to flow gently like water.

The sudden transmigration, being placed in the position of a beggar, could only force him from his originally peaceful mindset into a radical mode of escaping his current situation.

Just like when Roy first met Su Li and had thoughts of killing him. When Su Li first met Egbert, who would give a gold coin to a beggar, he merely thought this was a sucker who could give him a hand.

Cyril? Initially defined as a child who would extend a helping hand whenever possible.

Euphia? A kind landlady.

Later, other people had more or less similar labels.

But.

None of these people could bring Su Li the sense of security he desired.

This lack of security wasn’t due to not having a house, a pet, or money, but because of this world.

The world wasn’t stable enough; a house could become ruins at any time, pets had no protective rules, and even wealth could exchange for extremely uncertain things.

Death…

Sudden death.

Everything one possessed would become insignificant in the torrent of time.

Although it was the same before transmigration, one’s own choices versus passive choices were completely different.

So, reason told Su Li not to presumptuously tell others what he saw from his perspective with an attitude of denial and wrongness.

Then, everything became something he could bear himself under the overlay of multiple states of mind.

At the time, after Egbert finished speaking those words, Su Li’s reaction was merely to drink the water in his cup in one go, then silently return to his own room in the inn.

But now, Su Li thought, he needed to have a conversation with Egbert.

However, when he pushed open his door and knocked on Egbert’s room door, everyone inside—Roy, Mavis, and even the Raven—froze at the sound of Su Li’s voice.

“Is Eg asleep? I have something to say.”

The two people and the Raven had originally come to Egbert’s room to jointly warn this increasingly outrageous man. Just as they were expressing their concerns:

“What do you mean you love hearing the little master curse you?”

“Don’t you feel embarrassed saying things like that?”

And, “Even though we all know that child’s actions are correct, don’t you think your words put too much pressure on him?”

Before Egbert could respond, Su Li knocked on the door.

When Egbert’s eyes immediately lit up and he tried to rise from his seat of interrogation to open the door and welcome Su Li in, Roy directly pressed him down, forcing him back into his seat.

Roy, enduring the other’s displeased gaze, said, “Do you know what will happen if you open the door now?”

Egbert’s eyes conveyed: “You’d better give me a reasonable explanation for why I can’t open the door for Lord Su Li immediately.”

Roy couldn’t care less about his gaze and said directly, “Nighttime, your room, two people and a bird.”

“Don’t you understand how this scene would look if the little master saw it? He would definitely think the three of us are ganging up against you.”

Egbert looked at him dissatisfied, saying, “Isn’t that the case?”

Roy’s expression was serious. “Of course not!”

Mavis raised her hand to add. “If it were, we wouldn’t be giving you a chance to talk right now, but would drag you out of the inn to find a secluded place, put a sack over your head, and beat you up.”

Egbert: ???

The raven was in human form. After scratching the corner of his eye, he said, “That’s right, indeed.”

“So what do you plan to do?” Egbert’s gaze grew increasingly displeased. “You don’t seem to be planning to escape through the window either. Don’t tell me you want to eavesdrop on my conversation with Lord Su Li.”

Roy sneered. “Do you have an objection?”

Mavis: “I’ll make sure he doesn’t dare to object.”

The Raven delivered the final blow. “If you object, I’ll tell Su Li about the dozens of paintings of him drawn by Cyril that you hung in the basement of that red brick building in Sadina City, and how you offer fruits and burn incense to them every day.”

“Such a small matter can’t threaten me,” Egbert said dismissively.

“What if I add that after Su Li learns about this, he will definitely make you destroy all those paintings?”

Egbert: …………………………

In the end, the raven transformed into a small crow and perched on top of the wardrobe.

Roy casually carried the clothes that the raven specifically put on for Su Li every time he transformed, and crawled into the wardrobe.

Mavis thought for a moment, and finally hid behind the curtains.

Only then did Egbert rise to open the door.

Su Li entered the room, and before he could speak, Egbert had already quite naturally picked up the cooled tea from the table, heated it using light element, and poured him a steaming cup.

After staring at the tea for a good while, Su Li decided to skip the pleasantries and said directly, “I’m sorry I never told you before what I was really thinking.”

Egbert, however, responded matter-of-factly. “You certainly don’t need to tell me any of your thoughts.”

“If I can’t understand your thoughts, it only means I haven’t done enough.”

Su Li: Thanks, suddenly feeling that the thoughtfulness of hot tea can’t compare at all to the suffocating feeling brought by these words.

But he still needed to say, “I’m very grateful for your abnormal trust, but I hope you can be more normal.”

Egbert displayed an innocent expression.

Su Li helplessly held his forehead, then lowered his head saying, “The reason I apologize is that I’m sorry for not giving a reasonable response after you said such important words earlier, and just went upstairs directly.”

Just as Egbert was about to say it was okay, that Lord Su Li always had his reasons for everything, he was directly interrupted by the person who already knew him very well.

“Don’t speak, let me talk.”

“In my view, ignoring others’ words and presumptively making certain actions is essentially impolite behavior, which is why I’m doing this.”

“Similarly, I’m also sorry that I haven’t shared some of my true thoughts with you before.”

Su Li held the warm teacup, looking at the grain patterns on the wooden table, and after exhaling softly, continued. “For me, I think this world is terrible.”

“So terrible that it has made me question countless times in my heart: is it really necessary to survive in such a world?”

Upon hearing these words, Egbert’s eyes reddened. “Why would you have such thoughts?”

Su Li spoke in a tone that didn’t match his character at all. “It’s just a kind of…a kind of thought that I can’t explain, but it makes me question myself…a thought from the depths of my heart.”

“I can’t eliminate this thought; perhaps this is the essence of being a pessimist.”

“But the important thing isn’t this point, but that I never told you, never told any of you, exactly why I think I can’t survive in this world.”

Su Li’s neatly trimmed nails pressed hard against the grain of the table, fitting perfectly together.

After a moment, he said, “I can’t accept that danger is everywhere, nor can I acknowledge that death, something that should inspire awe from the depths of one’s heart, is treated as commonplace.”

“But what makes me feel most uncomfortable is that even though people don’t easily put life-and-death situations in front of me, people never think that getting injured is a big deal.”

Su Li admitted that he was being overly sensitive, and didn’t spare himself from this label.

If he stubbed his big toe against a wall corner, his face would turn as green as a melon rind for a whole week.

But the people of this world were different.

Those battles on the outskirts of the city ended, at the lightest, with broken ribs.

“Becoming stronger is necessary, because that’s how this world is. If you’re not strong enough, if you can’t have a say, then you will inevitably be oppressed. I understand this point. But it’s precisely because I understand that I hate why I exist in such a world.”

The nails pressing against the grain dug into his palm.

Su Li said, “In this world, all the rules that people now take for granted make me feel suffocated.”

“I thought that after the Pope died, Ophelia, who hadn’t yet ascended to the throne, would be constrained by the lucid king. Someone who had sat on the throne for many years would surely understand the responsibilities of being a ruler better than the highly self-centered Ophelia.”

“I also thought that after the Pope died, Diz, who similarly recognizes human rights, might reduce the oppression of divine authority on the public’s mind to some extent.”

“I was also thinking that time would eventually change everything from bad to good.”

“But the result is…”

Su Li suddenly found that Egbert had walked to the opposite side and sat down. He forcefully grabbed the hand where Su Li’s nails were digging into his palm and pried it open.

Egbert said nothing; Su Li understood this was his way of listening quietly.

Su Li smiled, a smile devoid of any emotion.

“Everything I thought would get better has, in essence, led us into a deeper abyss.”

“Is this the derivative answer to your previous question about whether human power divisions are bestowed by monster beasts?” After flattening Su Li’s palm, Egbert silently withdrew his hand.

“Yes.” Su Li nodded affirmatively.

“The power classification that humans currently use corresponds to the taxonomic ranks of plants.”

“Previously, because I didn’t have elemental power, I had no thoughts about this classification.”

Because it was irrelevant.

“But after the Pope provided the answer, I suddenly realized that the hierarchy of Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, in terms of subordinate relationships, goes from large to small.”

“This is equivalent to…”
