Regarding this point, Yaichiyanagi, who thinks he is calmer than most people, actually understands it more deeply.
"Reasonable people" never exist. Most of people's decisions are determined by undercurrents of emotions; and the inner world dominated by emotions has become so complex that it has become close to chaos, and it is almost impossible to understand clearly.
A long, long time ago, when his home world was still a normal place, Ichiyanagi once watched a clip of a news interview on the Internet.
The news content is mainly about a local woman. After she returned home from a business trip one afternoon, she did not contact her husband or friends and family. She only took her two children away from home and disappeared. Several days passed, and there was still no news.
.
The case was very popular and soon appeared on TV; when the reporter interviewed the husband and asked him about the entire incident, there was one detail that Ichiyanagi remembered deeply.
"Last night was very difficult for me." The husband looked at the reporter, and the calmness he had just introduced when he introduced the situation finally wavered, as if his voice was about to crack: "I can't go to the children's room to turn off the lights for them, and I can't tell them
Good night, I can't kiss my wife on the forehead like usual before going to bed...I am the only one left in the whole house. I just hope...I just hope that no matter where they are, they can come back
.”
His tone seemed to be begging reporters to bring them back.
At that time, Ichiyanagi couldn't help but rewind the video a little and read the passage again. He could feel that the emotion was real and touching. Even the classmates who watched the video with him felt the same way.
The husband's sadness and longing at that moment were clearly conveyed through the screen - even though when he was sad, he also knew very well that he himself had killed his wife and children.
The reason why this news video was intercepted and circulated on the Internet is because the husband was arrested by the police soon after, confessed and was imprisoned. Human beings are such complex creatures: even such a demonic person can actually
For a moment, I really missed the family members I killed.
What would happen if his mood at that moment could be magnified infinitely? Would he cry and confess his crime on TV?
That detail has always stayed in Yoshiyanagi's mind. He has never forgotten it, but he just can't think of it. When he suddenly remembered this news interview again, it was after he evolved his first ability.
"The third reason I tell Abby stories,"
In the heavy rain, Wu Yiliu looked at the woman who was still sitting on the stone and whispered: "Including the purpose of saying so many words to you... I will tell you now."
"Abi" really couldn't stand up - "she" definitely tried, because the ominous meaning of this sentence was so strong that it could make any evolver's brows jump; but even though "Abi" put her hands on the stone,
But her legs were still as stiff and silent as the stone beneath her, refusing to support her to stand up.
Wu Yiliu smiled gently at her and activated his ability.
The dark rain was like a background curtain. In front of the curtain, many different dream-like shapes floated rapidly. They had no form, as if they were just segments of "feelings": like things passing by under the deep water.
The long shadow is like a sudden heartbeat or the faint and repeated singing of birds.
The newly emerged, hallucinatory countless shadows are intertwined with the dark mountains and forests under the heavy rain in front of me, like various paints mixed in the water, some places are distinct, and some places are slightly blended with each other.
Among the countless faint shadows that were layered and intertwined, he immediately positioned his target - his body did not move, but in his mind, he reached forward and grabbed it, and from the countless
The undercurrent of the rapids held back that almost fleeting shadow.
Like a band conductor, Uaichi Liu holds the shadow that no one can see, and gently raises his hand: the notes he captures from this dark and complex movement are the timbre he wants to infinitely amplify.
"Abi, take advantage of the moment!" He shouted suddenly amid the rumbling rain, and his voice broke through the rain curtain and dispersed into the dark mountain forest.
In the next moment, Abi, who was sitting on the stone, suddenly trembled, as if someone had pushed him, and his whole body fell to the ground.
The blond woman rolled down on the muddy grass under the rain, her limbs twitching as if her body was about to be torn apart by two thoughts; while Abi was fighting against the player's will, Yachiyanagi kept amplifying and strengthening himself just now
The "note" she caught - soon, the fight in the blonde woman's body came to fruition. She struggled to stand up from the grass, staggered a few steps forward, and barely stood still.
When he spoke again, he was already crying.
"It's me, Abi," she not only breathed quickly, but every word seemed to be crushed when she said it because she was too eager: "It's me, I-I-how could it be, how could it be possible?"
Like that?”
Wu Yiliu stared at Abi, still not letting go of the aura he had caught.
Three seconds, two seconds, one second - when the time limit for his ability was up and the various auras swirling in front of him suddenly disappeared, he immediately rushed forward in two steps, grabbed Abi's wrist, and shouted: "Run!
"
After all, Abi is an evolver who has established himself in the twelve realms. His reaction was not slow, and he rushed into the mountain forest shrouded in dark rain with him, shouting as he ran: "Where are we going? What should we do?
?Will they catch up?"
If there are really two players, at least the other person who is always "invisible" will definitely catch up immediately. As a "soul" with an unknown form, how fast he is, or whether he is limited by speed, depends on the situation.
Not sure about anything.
But the two of them must run. At least when running, their minds, bodies, and concentration will be tied to "running" itself: Yachiyanagi hopes that this can help them resist the whispers of players.
But Abi had just woken up and had too many doubts. After the two of them ran for a while in the dark rain, she couldn't help but asked: "Just now, it was you who used your ability just now."
?You saved me?"
Wu Yiliu wanted to look at the road and run away, so he took some time out of his busy schedule to answer: "I used my evolutionary ability to temporarily suppress that player for a while!"
After saying that, he couldn't help himself and smiled bitterly.
His luck may have been used up while trying to survive and evolve, so the first evolutionary ability he generated didn't seem to be very powerful at all - when he gradually regained consciousness on the ground in the alley,
For a long time, he was waiting for himself to fly over walls, float in the air, or have light emitting from his eyes; until after a while, he finally realized that he could only "see" human emotions and feelings now.
【Human Concerto】
If every human being is a most complex concerto, those flowing, alternating, and echoing notes must be the emotional feelings that dominate most human decision-making behaviors: anger, fear, sympathy, empathy, anxiety, and desire.
, satisfied...but with the notes, it may not be able to form a satisfactory piece of music, right?
After activating the ability, not only can you see all the emotions and feelings generated by the people around you - all of them, no matter how subtle or how short - but you can also pick out one of the various flowing emotions and continuously amplify or suppress it.
, just like a conductor deciding which part of a movement to make stronger or lighter.
Everyone is a mixture of complex emotions. Even if the enemy only flashes fear for a moment, as long as you can grasp it and amplify it, you can use the enemy's own emotions to defeat him without even moving.
The enemy is crushed and collapsed.
Of course, when a certain emotional feeling is strengthened or weakened to a certain extent, the target will naturally take corresponding actions: when it is too desperate and depressed, it may jump into the sea by itself, or it may give you a shot. This is all possible.
.
At the current stage, this ability only allows you to capture one emotion. The time limit is fifteen seconds. This ability can be used once every 12 hours. If you meet the upgrade requirements in the future, you can not only control the intensity of the emotion, but also adjust the direction of the emotion:
For example, the "pleasure" captured can also be adjusted to "sentimentality" little by little.
Yaichiyanagi later discovered that generally speaking, the first evolutionary ability of an evolver is closely related to the doomsday world he lives in; but for some reason, his ability seems to have nothing to do with shape-shifters and the chaotic doomsday world.
Instead, it focuses on human emotions.
He was extremely disappointed at the time. What great use could it have? Even if he could use his fear to crush the other party, who would feel the emotion of "fear" when he saw a fledgling, low-powered evolver like him?
However, Yachiyanagi relied on it to survive step by step, and developed a second evolutionary ability. The ability gradually grew like a snowball, and finally reached the twelve realms, and earned himself a professional reputation -
—Thinking about my experiences over the past ten years, it feels like a dream.
"The player who brainwashed you." In the oncoming wind and rain, Yachiyanagi felt as if he was going to eat a mouthful of rain every time he opened his mouth. It was more difficult to speak and breathe than usual: "I will not be able to recover from his ecstasy in a short period of time.
, I have never communicated with the other one, and I don’t even know if there is another player.”
"Then, where are we going now? Do you know which direction we are coming from?"
Wu Yiliu wiped the rain off his face and replied loudly: "Let's go back to the camping cabin!"
