The Hated Savior After the Movie Screening

Qiu Li was a savior who willingly bore the blame to save the world.

After carrying out all his plans and successfully sacrificing himself, a look of relief finally appeared on Qiu Li's gloomy, cold face.

With his final scraps of consciousness, he felt his body fading as death approached. There was nothing comforting about it. Pain and exhaustion enveloped him.

When his last bit of consciousness finally vanished, Qiu Li expected to cross the River of the Dead and await heaven or another life. Instead, he opened his eyes and found himself in a space that looked like a movie theater.

Failing to die wasn't the worst part. The worst part was seeing the people who had hated him intensely in life because of various misunderstandings.

The moment they saw him, they accused him: "Did you set this up, you bastard?"

Qiu Li shook his head. Faced with everyone's accusations and attacks, he was too weak to respond and too tired to explain.

Just then, a voice rang out from above. Someone claiming to be the world's consciousness told them they could only leave after watching all the films it had prepared.

They were furious, but they had no choice. They obediently took the seats with their names on them.

The screening began, and a huge title appeared before them: "Savior Qiu Li, Thank You for Everything You've Done for This World."

"What the hell is this?"

"This is complete nonsense!"

"Savior Qiu Li? Give me a break!"

One voice after another echoed through the space as everyone expressed confusion and displeasure at the film.

But the owner of the space would not let them keep talking. A voice from above declared, "Viewers, please remain quiet. We are about to watch the story of Savior Qiu Li."

Watch what? My past? What's so interesting about that?

Qiu Li was already completely exhausted and had no interest in watching anything.

He simply fell asleep in his seat.

The screening would not stop for anyone who was absent.

As Qiu Li's past was presented in meticulous detail, the truths he had hidden to save the world, the protection others had misconstrued, and the misunderstandings caused by their prejudices were all explained by the film.

The layers of fog lifted, revealing the bloody truth beneath.

Those who had once hated Qiu Li with all their hearts watched the screen reveal the painful, unknown parts of his past. Guilt and remorse clung to them.

So you'd been carrying such a heavy burden. So we'd been living under your protection all along.

The savior had exhausted his mind and pushed his body past its limits to protect the world, while they had hurt him again and again with their prejudiced eyes.

"Qiu Li's dead. Good riddance!"

The words everyone had once repeated so freely became a shadow none of them could escape as the truth was revealed on screen.

With red-rimmed eyes, they looked at the person seated in the very center, each silently making the same vow.

We don't expect you to forgive us, but if we could do it all over again, please let us make amends!

Reader's guide:

1. Lots of descriptions of illness and combat injuries. The protagonist is physically and mentally unwell, utterly exhausted and worn down.

2. There will be c-ball-style descriptions during the screening. Everyone has unrequited feelings for the protagonist, including but not limited to parental love, brotherly affection, admiration, guilt, and concern, but there is no romance. Only the love interest has romantic feelings, and only he deserves to have those feelings returned by the protagonist.
