The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 28 - The Hidden Son of Light Turns Out to Be This Kind of Character

After Su Li truly experienced what it meant to be thunderstruck that day, he firmly decided that he would never again discuss with people of this world what friends and family actually meant.

He really couldn’t handle their nonsense!

From that day on, Su Li deliberately started acting aloof, aiming to prevent others from reading too much into things. He figured that when he said and did nothing, these people surely wouldn’t still make those foolish expressions suggesting “Su Li must have some hidden meaning.”

After confirming his aloof evolution strategy with only light harm done, Su Li decided to maintain this approach. By then, Egbert and Lan Zhe had completed their plan to kidnap the Son of Light.

It happened in an instant.

Just as the Son of Light was about to meet up with the Knights of Light stationed in Jisuo Town, Lan Zhe covered his face with a black cloth and, along with Egbert whose face wasn’t even covered, rushed in and captured him.

At that moment, the dark elements scattered, causing the Knights of Light to panic like fish thrown into hot oil.

Egbert, now a traitor with a new faith, decisively captured the Son of Light without hesitation while the knights were scattered in chaos, even accidentally injuring their own people in the confusion.

Su Li was crouching on the side of the street, watching the Knights of Light flailing around like blind fish in complete disarray.

For a moment, Su Li truly felt his intelligence was superior to this world’s, but the next second he promptly slapped himself.

And blurted out. “What’s there to feel superior about in a world that hasn’t even figured out how to make rice?”

A third-rate freelance planner who had been certified by this world’s top experts as someone who would have to beg for mercy not to die from a single slap…

[Senior Weakling]

The plan to kidnap the Son of Light seemed crude but succeeded due to its suddenness and the strength of those involved. The logistics support team could immediately enter high-mobility mode—specifically referring to Egbert carrying Su Li, Mark carrying Cyril, and Lan Zhe carrying the Son of Light who was tied up like a ball, as they fled straight toward the Beast Forest.

The efficiency was truly impressive.

Only Lan Zhe remained dissatisfied during their escape.

“Why am I the one carrying this ball? I think I could carry Su Li too.”

“Because you, with your dark elements, attract the most hatred. After all, I’m just a traitor who the church needs to ‘clean house’ with, but you’re different,” Egbert said while running with Su Li on his back, adjusting him with a bounce.

“If the church discovers Su Li has any connection to dark elements, do you know how much trouble that would cause him?”

Friends were friends, and friends could be his devoted supporters or passionate fans, they could even discuss together how vast Su Li’s wisdom truly was, but friends absolutely could not bring harm to Su Li.

Lan Zhe gave a cold laugh. “As if you, being a traitor, won’t attract hatred. Don’t forget many people saw you kidnap him. Now you’re not just a traitor, but a traitor conspiring with dark element users!”

“Looking at it now, aren’t you the one bringing Su Li…the most hatred?” Lan Zhe deliberately blurred his form of address for Su Li, mainly because he believed he could definitely find a more respectful title than Egbert’s “Lord,” as Lan Zhe believed Egbert’s mind wasn’t capable of fully understanding all of Su Li’s thoughts.

Only a clever person like himself could understand more.

Would Egbert feel troubled about bringing problems to Su Li?

In the past, he certainly would have, but now…

Absolutely not!

What brought Su Li to Jisuo Town in the first place?

Obviously because Egbert was in the nearest Beast Forest!

Su Li had never hidden how much he valued his own life. Given how dangerous Jisuo Town was now, Su Li must have come here for him!

Fully aware of his own importance, Egbert held his head high. “I’m different from you. I’m the one closest to Lord Su Li’s thoughts.”

“Lord Su Li doesn’t mind family causing him trouble. What he minds is family not being able to protect themselves. He sees us as important, and what we need to do is respond to those feelings by protecting ourselves. This is what’s most important to Lord Su Li. Or do you think the Lord can’t protect himself?”

Lan Zhe was so angry he wanted to smash the Son of Light ball into Egbert’s face.

You seemed like such an honest person before, but now you’re so slick it makes one wonder who the real dark element user is!

Su Li: Ah, so exhausted.jpg

Being aloof as he was, how could he speak carelessly?

As long as he stayed silent, these people wouldn’t project their thoughts onto him… yeah right.

“Stop talking.”

Just as Egbert was saying “See, the Lord’s silence means he agrees with me,” Su Li wearily spoke.

Egbert either didn’t hear or was too caught up in mocking Lan Zhe. “Even now, the Lord is trying to protect your fragile heart.”

Lan Zhe tightened his grip on the rope binding the Son of Light ball.

“The Lord saying ‘stop talking’ clearly means that no matter what I say, someone of your limited wisdom couldn’t understand.”

Lan Zhe threw the ball next to a bewildered Mark.

“If Lord Su Li is a true god among mortals, then I shall be his first follower!”

Lan Zhe finally made his move.

Su Li, who had been neatly set down by Egbert…

Don’t want to talk.jpg

Su Li looked at the Son of Light who had been awakened by being thrown roughly to the ground, calmly plucked two grass stalks resembling foxtail from the ground, put one in his mouth and offered the other to the Son of Light.

“Brother, want one?”

Though he’d never tasted nicotine, foxtail grass could perhaps give a similar feeling.

However, the Son of Light’s face immediately showed an expression of divine compassion. “Is your inner heart truly in such pain?”

Su Li: “Huh?”

In that instant, the grass fell from Su Li’s shocked mouth.

What the hell?

Perhaps due to being too shocked, his brain was in such chaos that his ability to form words drastically decreased, so he actually quietly listened to the even more outrageous words from this Son of Light…

“Your heart is like the ocean surface under a downpour, waves upon waves; your state of mind is like the sky on a rainy night, endlessly gloomy. But please don’t worry or fear, I will accompany you in facing disasters, and the God of Light will bless you, guide your direction, and ensure you face no more suffering in this world.”

Su Li: ???

Why don’t you just perform last rites for me while you’re at it?

In this life, no – in both his previous and current life combined, he never imagined that the person at the center of this whirlpool would have such an absurd personality.

Su Li had imagined how the Pope might have trained the Son of Light to be a terrifying manipulator, maxed out in the arts of controlling subordinates and royal scheming… but even if he poured the entire Pacific Ocean into his brain, he couldn’t have imagined this option of someone completely won over by true goodness and beauty.

Perhaps it was because the Son of Light before him was saying with a pained expression. “You’re crying.”

As he said this, his own eyes were already brimming with crystalline tears.

“Your silhouette sitting in the shade looks like a child abandoned by the world. Though you’ve decided to abandon this world, you still beg for someone to hold your hand…” The Son of Light was practically heartbroken beyond recovery, “How tragic. How terrible must this world be, for you to be so desperate about it?”

Then in the next moment, he became determined on his own, gazing at Su Li with those brilliant golden eyes, saying with absolute sincerity. “I’m not a bad person, and I won’t leave even a spider’s thread for you to desperately grab onto. I will simply extend my hand… so, will you take it?”

That tightly bound Son of Light ball actually managed to extend a hand through the gaps in the rope.

Su Li: ……………………

He was truly speechless beyond speechless, speechless to the extreme!

He’d never imagined in his life that simply putting a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth to act a bit world-weary would lead someone to such ridiculous assumptions.

Su Li raised those emotionless emerald pupils, staring at the Son of Light who had difficultly wormed his way to his side and extended a hand through the rope gaps… he looked at the palm lines on the other’s hand and suddenly began to space out.

How could someone with normal love line, career line, and life line be this absurd?!

However, in the Son of Light’s eyes…

The youth sitting beneath the ancient tree, with light flickering on his face through the gaps in the leaves. Those emerald pupils contained not a single trace of emotion, looking at him no differently than they would look at a flying bird or butterfly.

He had isolated himself from this world, refusing to let anything into his heart. His downcast eyes seemed to be looking at the teeth marks on the grass he had bitten through, but were actually contemplating something – profound mysteries that no one could ever understand.

There was no light in his eyes.

The world in his eyes was like a bubble, ready to burst at the slightest touch.

What kind of person would be so desperate about this world? How fragile must someone be to still be alive while being so desperate about the world?

The Son of Light couldn’t help but shed tears, deeply feeling Su Li’s sorrow and empathizing with all his pain.

“Please don’t lose all hope in this world. It’s not as bad as you imagine. The God of Light treats all his followers equally, and you can trust me too. As long as you still have even a thread of expectation for this world, I will grab your hand and guide you to see this glorious mortal realm once again.”

......

Su Li snapped back to reality.

He looked at the fighting Egbert and Lan Zhe, then at Cyril trying to break up the fight, and Mark still standing confused on the side… Finally, Su Li returned his gaze to the Son of Light.

He was in despair. With an expressionless face, he made one last struggling attempt. “You’re overthinking things!”

It was completely sincere, without even a drop of pretense.

However, the Son of Light… was still steadfastly extending his hand.

“Try to believe in me.”

Su Li: …………

Could playing it cool still save him? Even his dead fish eyes could be misinterpreted to this extent!

Right then and there, in the depths of his heart, Su Li signed “abandon treatment” on the metaphorical medical chart.
