The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 124 - Son of Lights Debuff x2

“If Lord Su Li is overwhelmed with sin, then I would certainly be the hound that feeds on sin.”

Before anyone could hear these words, Su Li had reasonably convinced himself that his displayed chuunibyou behavior was normal.

After all, besides a raven that could understand human speech but couldn’t correctly interpret the meanings behind certain human actions, there was only Cyril, who was also in his chuunibyou phase.

As for those who lay on the ground—mostly dead, with some deliberately left alive by the raven for interrogation—these white-robed people, as fallen enemies, had no ability to retort when faced with an opponent spewing chuunibyou lines.

Therefore, Egbert’s sudden appearance was not something that filled an emotional void for Su Li.

Instead, it was…awkward.

Adults were quite adept at avoidance, so Su Li chose to pretend he hadn’t heard and asked in return, “Why are you here too?”

“For such a small matter, having the raven by my side is enough.”

However, Su Li, who had no idea what the person beside him was imagining, couldn’t possibly know that his slightly reddened eyes—caused by straining his normally relaxed eye muscles to see better in the dim light—gave quite a different impression to others.

Su Li merely blinked his somewhat tired eyes and quietly gazed at Egbert, who seemed to be trying to turn his eyeballs into a pie chart.

The former Son of Light, with three parts sorrow in his eyes, only said, “If I were not here, perhaps long after this incident, I would suddenly realize that I had been taking from you all along, without ever giving anything in return.”

Su Li felt his head covered in question marks.

Though he understood each word individually, when combined, why did they become so confusing?

Or perhaps, had Egbert been feeling uncomfortable in this ever-changing new world, causing his path of development to shift from perversion to mental illness?

That wasn’t good.

Su Li said, “Whatever strange things you’ve thought of, please don’t bring them up.”

This was a statement from a man’s false sixth sense.

Su Li added, “I’ve left one person alive for interrogation. As for what intelligence you can extract from him, that depends on your personal ability.”

Su Li thought for a moment, briefly performed a profound expression, curled his lips, and said, “Let me see just how far you can go.”

His performance skills did not disappoint the “audience.”

Anyway, Egbert’s response of “I definitely won’t disappoint Lord Su Li” was completely ignored by Su Li.

However, when he noticed Egbert grabbing the last remaining white-robed person and rushing toward a tree with an intense gaze, as if pumped with adrenaline, Su Li let out a deep sigh.

Without being told, he knew that there must be someone in that tree.

“What people call social death is merely the only genuine outcome that those with poor emotional control can barely achieve when faced with situations they cannot respond to promptly,” Su Li sighed.

But for pro players… social death simply didn’t exist.

As long as they believed they were correct, those who thought otherwise could only doubt themselves.

But Su Li had to admit that no one had ever doubted him from the start.

Diz jumped down from the tree and, without even glancing at the person Egbert was holding for interrogation, stared fixedly at Su Li and said, “You don’t need to bear so much for us.”

“In the current situation, whether you point at my nose and curse or choose to ignore me, I can accept either.”

Su Li: ???

“What are you referring to?”

With a confused gaze, he briefly scanned Diz, then gave a slight glance at Euphia, who had also jumped down from the tree.

Diz then straightforwardly explained his previous analysis of Su Li’s psychological state.

Su Li was forcibly transformed from a state of confusion to bewilderment by this series of conjectures.

“…Let’s not talk about what you consider to be ‘taking’ from me. From a practical standpoint, this fishing operation was also very necessary for me. Whether from my perspective or yours, choosing to act with maximum efficiency, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

Su Li tried to make the Son of Light, who had already abandoned rationality, understand the importance of being rational.

But it was of no use.

Diz: “It’s precisely because you think from this perspective that it’s wrong!”

His tone was filled with anguish.

Su Li was stunned by that expression and voice.

“According to your initial way of thinking, shouldn’t you have kept all of this at a distance? These matters, whether fishing or anything else, should have been irrelevant to you.”

“Your non-cooperation would have been what I’d consider most normal!”

Why would a salted fish do work?

Why would someone who had given up try to work hard again?

Don’t talk about being inspired; this was purely another form of coercion.

Previously, Su Li had been fully qualified to be a salted fish and give up. He had worked desperately hard, 007 style, just so he could reasonably become a salted fish. But ironically, after gaining this qualification, he hadn’t enjoyed his hard-earned, wonderful salted fish lifestyle long enough before being forced to rise again.

Diz didn’t know Su Li’s past, but Diz understood that Su Li should have been able to easily revert to his lifestyle of being a slacker.

He didn’t necessarily have to make sacrifices for anything.

Just like, if one day monster beasts decided to attack humans, the unique Su Li would still be special.

Su Li’s needs were minimal, and he wasn’t particularly concerned about dignity, otherwise those who had pointed at him and called him useless would have been verbally attacked by him in return.

Don’t underestimate the verbal attack capabilities of someone who lived in the internet world.

Su Li hadn’t done this, which proved that external matters weren’t that important to him.

Everything seemed to be indifferent to him, wasn’t it?

So, after figuring out the fishing incident, why did he choose to cooperate…

Ignoring all spiritual resonance, Diz could also clearly perceive some of Su Li’s living habits.

For example, he rarely went out at night.

An otherworld without streetlights was really unfriendly to someone with zero elemental abilities.

Just like now.

It was already dark, and their distance from the small building, based on Su Li’s walking speed without elemental acceleration, would take at least half an hour to reach.

If he hadn’t noticed the fishing operation, Su Li would definitely have returned to that small building before the sun had completely set after communicating with Castor.

That would have been correct.

But the correct outcome hadn’t arrived.

What had arrived was Su Li’s cooperation with the fishing operation.

How could this not make the Son of Light heartbroken?

Although Diz had initially been unable to control his gaze on Su Li, it was because of this trait—Su Li occasionally ignoring his own needs for the sake of others.

Who wouldn’t want someone so excellent in all aspects to care about them, not only accommodatingly guiding them through everything they didn’t understand, but even cooperating with all their immature and uninteresting plans?

Even afterward, Su Li could act as if nothing had happened, looking at them with a faint smile and accommodating gaze, quietly observing their continued immaturity.

Diz felt very uncomfortable.

Euphia, after connecting with his train of thought, also felt that she had been a bit too much.

“I thought I was already quite attentive, but it turns out I needed someone else to remind me that you’ve been accommodating my immaturity all along.”

Egbert clenched his fist even harder. “I am the same. I never realized what the lord truly wanted. It’s truly my incompetence.”

Su Li: ???

“…I’m saying, is there a possibility, just a possibility, that you’re all overthinking this?” Su Li said with difficulty.

Su Li was the type of person who was quite decisive after making certain decisions.

For instance, killing someone, or bearing the guilt of “I may not kill Boren, but Boren dies because of me.”

These seemingly heavy things, for Su Li, really didn’t need to be emphasized.

Adults, when making certain decisions, would habitually consider the pros and cons.

This was a unique ability brought about by growth, though it would also be defined by others as being smoothed out by the rules of the world.

But if a person never changed, never grew no matter what happened, wouldn’t that be even more terrifying?

Therefore, Su Li was genuinely confused as to why Diz had an expression like he was about to cry.

Diz clenched his fist and said in a rough voice, “How could this possibly be us overthinking?”

In his vision, the slight redness under the young man’s eyes, and the emerald pupils that couldn’t focus properly due to the inability to see clearly in the darkness…

Diz felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

So his gaze at Su Li became even more profound.

Su Li was speechless. “This is exactly what I mean by overthinking.”

Diz didn’t believe it. “If I’m really overthinking, why did you say those words earlier?”

Su Li: …What’s wrong? Couldn’t a great wizard have moments of chuunibyou? Wasn’t it said that men remain boys until death? Couldn’t he occasionally maintain this setting?

Diz: “I don’t want to question, as that would seem too disrespectful. But I still want to say, you shouldn’t bear all the heaviness and suffering on your own. For me, and for everyone in this world, it is we who owe you, it is you who has shown us kindness.”

Diz’s firm tone and unwavering gaze once again made Su Li feel the fear of being dominated by the Son of Light.

Whether it was the verbally perverted Egbert or the mentally abnormal Diz. Whether it was the former Son of Light or the current Son of Light…

They all clearly possessed the ability to make Su Li feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.

Especially when combined.

Egbert’s expression darkened as he said, “I didn’t think about these things, so I truly don’t deserve to say that I can definitely become Lord Su Li’s indispensable right-hand man.”

“I’ve been wanting you to only look at me, yet I’ve never discovered the pain hidden deep in your eyes.”

Euphia also sighed. “Although these two always speak in a way that feels a bit off, what they’re saying is indeed what I’ve been thinking.”

“I’m very sorry that I’ve never paid attention to your feelings before.”

Cyril wanted to speak but hesitated, “Big Sister Euphia, are you sure you’re thinking of the same thing they are?”

Cyril could only see Su Li’s face change from calm to being filled with social shutdown.

Su Li: ……………………

…What kind of worldly suffering is this?
