8 Demons of the Heart

"Director, the chess samurai hasn't had a breaker for twenty years. Chu Qiu flipped through a document in his hand, which recorded the details of the selection and assessment over the years.

"Well, I didn't expect that. The old man couldn't hide a smile on his face, and then asked,

"What's the next round of testing?"

"According to the rehearsal, the third level is to test the psychological tolerance range of the students, and the content of the ten groups of tests is slightly different, but the basic direction is the same. Chu Qiu replied.

"Well, these two kids, demons. Lao Ding's left and right hands were crossed together, his two thumbs were rotated alternately, and the smile on his face was even stronger, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"You... Are you sure?" Chu Qiu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the old man with a look of disbelief and asked.

"Go ahead and arrange it. Lao Ding Tou silently looked in the mirror and happily hugged Xie Yi and two children and sang and danced to celebrate, Chu Qiu turned around and walked out, temporarily changing the assessment content requires a series of operational arrangements, he didn't hear Lao Ding Tou's whispered chatter.

"The pain of destiny must be borne sooner or later, long pain is better than short pain, the sooner you experience it, the sooner you can see it, and the sooner you make a choice. ”

Lao Ding waved his hand, the picture in the mirror disappeared, and he slowly walked out behind his hands, no one knew how heavy his every step was.

Happy opened his eyes and sat up from the ground.

The ground is cold, the kind that goes deep into the bone marrow.

He only remembered that after winning the chess, he hugged Xie and one or two people and sang and danced, and then... There is no then.

Rubbing his drowsy head, he found himself sitting in a dark space where there was no light, no sound.

Reaching out and shaking it in front of his eyes, he could vaguely feel the presence of his hand.

"Lao Xie, are you there?" the over-silence made Happy feel uncomfortable for a while, and he asked tentatively, only infinite silence and a slight echo answered him.

Tentatively mobilized the little spiritual power left in his body, sat cross-legged happily, and closed his eyes again.

The memories from the time I passed the level to the time I opened my eyes were blank, as if I had been cut off with scissors, and I had no impression at all.

Try to concentrate and calm your mind.

Slowly, he sensed that there were other people in this claustrophobic space, and he heard several voices.

"Am I dead?"

"Why did I die?"

"Why don't you save yourself when you die?"

"Why should I go? I don't want to go..."

"Please, I don't want to die, can you save me..."

The voice was high or low, sharp or deep, and it hit the happy heart one by one, causing a slight wave.

The sound is still increasing, becoming noisy, noisy, and even hysterical.

The state of mind that was happy to finally settle down rose again, as if it had been touched by something, and the not solid heart embankment was knocked out of a small gap, and the negative emotions that had always been buried in the bottom of the heart slowly flowed.

The water accumulates into a stream and gathers into a river.

Happy that he has been working as a guide for almost three years, allowing him to see all kinds of death scenes in this world, one person, several people, a group of people, those who die directly, those who are struggling with death, and those who are wailing for help.

The Buddha said that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.

The joy of simplicity and kindness wants to save people more than once.

However, not a single success.

He had desperately moved the injured out of the car, but found that he had been out of breath for a long time.

He had seen the desperate eyes of countless seriously injured people, and he could clearly feel the passage of life and endless sadness in them.

He was wounded twice.

Once to save a teenage girl, once to a child who has just gotten away,

Before anyone could pick it up, the car exploded.

He never thought that in addition to his own hundred years, he also needed to deal with the question of life and death.

A lot of worldly experience taught him that saving lives is a doctor's vocation.

He practiced guns for a long time, but he only shot target paper.

In fact, when he first started working, he would cry every time.

He couldn't find another way to vent his deep feelings.

disappointed in myself,

In the face of life and death, he only has the fate of humble obedience.

Not a strong body, it can't carry the responsibility of a savior.

He was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't put it into words.

Lao Ding Tou said that some people's death is predestined, and when the time in the world comes, they will always leave, and it is wrong to try to leave him, and it is not right from the idea.

It took me almost half a year to figure out this sentence.

Dealing with the work of guiding the way day after day, under the persuasion of the old Dingtou, he seems to slowly accept this indescribable feeling, at least he can indifferently accept the feeling that human life disappears in front of his eyes and he is powerless.

A slut is hypocrisy, and Happy often uses this sentence to describe himself, in fact, he is not very cheap, but he is very, very, very hypocritical.

In fact, he didn't know that he didn't really feel relieved, but he just forcibly suppressed the emotions that he couldn't release in his heart, and it wouldn't have any effect when he wasn't touched.

But this level is called "Inner Demon".

It will dig into the emotions that you don't want to touch the least in your heart,

magnify it infinitely, accentuate your ability to perceive this emotion,

Violence, sadness, anger, fear...

The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come

The more unwilling you are to face something, the more you will lean in front of you.

Since the establishment of Jinchengwei, there are only two people who can pass the heart demon test.

One is the old Ding Tou, and the other is the previous director.

This is also the reason why Chu Qiu reacted so much when he heard that Lao Ding Tou was going to test with his heart demon.

The damage to people's hearts is devastating.

Several of the early students who were very promising to join in this level have left permanent damage in this level.

Therefore, this level is forbidden to be used for student assessment.

But the director has the privilege of specifying the assessment content, and he insists on using it, and Chu Qiu has no choice but to silently pray for these two unlucky people in his heart.

Suddenly, a pair of green eyes appeared in the darkness, slowly approaching Xingxing.

Then the second pair, the third pair... In a few minutes, it went from one pair to countless pairs.

The sound just now was made by them.

Happy didn't open his eyes, as he slowly adjusted to the darkness here, he could vaguely see that there were people around him slowly approaching.

To be precise, one by one.

Tall, short, fat and thin, men, women and children, joy, anger and sorrow, all kinds of expressions and postures, the number is still increasing.

The group of people closest to Happy always kept a distance of one meter from him, and the increasing number of people formed a dense circle with Happy as the center of the circle.

When he opened his eyes, there were waves of sadness in his heart, like the waves of a rising tide, hitting the softest place in his heart again and again.

Looking at the people on the eighth floor and the outer eight floors happily, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"You're not a guide, you're the devil!"

"If you don't save you when you die, are you still worthy of being a person?"

"I won't let you go!"

"If I can't get better, don't think about it, come down and accompany me!"

……

Blame and question after blame smashed to the delight,

"I'm sorry,"

"I'm sorry, I didn't just want to die..."

"I apologize..."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

He clutched his head in pain, full of guilt and self-blame, and there were no words to express his disappointment in himself, only to simply repeat a few words of apology.

His mental defenses had been defeated, and the little clarity that Lingtai had retained barely controlled his body.

There is a word called lost soul, happy in the present state, which is the present continuous tense of the word.

His voice faded away, and he regained his composure.

His eyes were blank, his expression was dull, and his whole person was in a state of emptiness.

Little by little, he is passively handing over control of his body.

If he doesn't succeed in saving himself and rebuilding his confidence, if he lets this state continue, it's only a matter of time before his will is destroyed.

What awaits him is to spend the rest of the time in a mad and stupid way.

To put it simply, it's going crazy.

Happy the whole person is now like a balloon that is about to be burst, and the evil spirits around him are still frantically pumping into his body, looking forward to the moment when he explodes and dies.

When the last bit of clarity of the happy spirit platform was about to be erased, a low chanting voice suddenly sounded.

It is all sentient beings who first receive such retribution, and then fall into hell, and there is no time to go out. It is the old you and others, protecting people and protecting the country, and no order is the karma of all beings, confusing sentient beings. When the Four Heavenly Kings heard this, they wept and lamented, and retreated with their palms together.

…”

The low chanting voice gradually became round and high-pitched, and every word had a great power, which made people kneel down and listen to it convincingly.

Many spirits around Happy Body involuntarily knelt down and kowtowed, and eight spirits took the initiative to come out, sitting in the eight directions around Happy Body, silently following the chanting in their mouths.

Happy seems to have changed a person, just like a monk who has practiced for a hundred years, without sorrow, joy, hatred and resentment, with his eyes slightly closed, his hands folded, and he stood silently in place.
