Chapter 21: Torture and the Temple of Yama

The documentary in the afternoon was as bloody and brutal as the morning, but Chen Yi was more numb in addition to the original discomfort. After ending the illusion, he was able to easily ask if the assistant responsible for repairing the body of the death row prisoner was Li Xiao and what his ability was.

"That's Li Xiao, as for what the ability is, you can ask for yourself." Wang Weiwei casually mentioned it, and drove Chen Yi to Li Xiao, so as not to disturb her when she went home from work.

"My power is the Yama Treasure Temple, which is the embodiment of hell that the people often say. Limited by some factors of my own, there is only a B grade at the moment. The current way of manifestation of power is to transform the 'resentment' in a person's body into life force and repair any damage they receive. As for the condition, when activating the ability, the subject needs to be in constant pain, and the pain will be permanently retained and stacked. Li Xiao smiled heartily, but the words he said were so cruel.

"In other words, it can only be used for torture, and it's inconvenient to treat people, right?" When Chen Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and he needed to continue to suffer, and the more he recovered, the more painful it would be for the recoverer. For minor injuries, this ability is not required; If you are severely injured, the more you treat, the more painful it becomes, and it is simply the most terrible torture in the world.

"The Yama Treasure Hall itself is a place where people say that they do not accumulate virtue in life and go to hell after death. No matter how he is punished, he will not let his body out of this state until all his 'sins' have been penalized and atoned for. The assistant nodded and agreed: "So this ability is pure, the ability to give pain to the sinful." ”

"I remember that in addition to being responsible for judgment and punishment, the Yama Treasure Hall also has the function of rewarding." When Chen Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"This, it's because my ability is not enough, if it rises to the A level, I can use 'gratitude' to bless people."

"So, what are 'resentment' and 'gratitude'?" Chen Yi is very interested in two of the key words.

"I haven't touched the 'gratitude' thing yet, I'm not familiar with it, so I don't want to mention it. The so-called 'resentment' is a kind of 'fluctuation' that cannot be accurately measured by science when a person harms other intelligent beings, and is inflicted by the injured person. The wiser and more powerful the mind, the more significant the transfer of this 'fluctuation'. Therefore, human beings have the most 'resentment' towards each other. Li Xiao looked at Chen Yi and saw that he seemed to be able to understand, so he continued to explain.

"And the more powerful the injury, the stronger the 'resentment', so for people, rape and murder, or torture, beating to death and other vicious crimes, the 'resentment' that can accumulate in the body is the most. Therefore, the death row inmates we extract are all real heinous sinners, otherwise they simply can't support a whole day's 'homework'. ”

The meaning of the assistant, his power, is in fact some kind of atonement, but whoever suffers under his power is a villain who is innocent of death. But Chen Yi didn't feel even a little relaxed, and some behaviors were not easy to pass away because the object was 'guilty'.

For example, this kind of trial - Chen Yi never felt that it was a matter of course for a stranger to torture another stranger for some reason. No matter how thoughtful his logic is, even if that sinner is indeed innocent.

This kind of thing, even if it is to be done, should be done by the victims themselves, or their families, and those sufferers. If outsiders do it, killing is one thing, torture and ill-treatment is another.

The former is *; The latter is just an excuse to wantonly release the cruelty in his heart.

"You can rest assured, the consumption of such a thing as 'resentment' through the Yama Treasure Hall is a kind of revenge, a kind of detachment, and a kind of normalization for those who impose 'resentment' on death row prisoners. In addition, when 'resentment' is transformed into living material, it consumes a lot, and compared to pure mental torture after death, it can be regarded as a struggle for a good treatment after death. Li Xiao seemed to see Chen Yi's thoughts, and his explanation seemed to have a bit of self-exculpation.

Chen Yi does not intend to pursue a sinner who has been dead for many years and how he was treated before he died. Admittedly, he did not like this kind of behavior, but it did not go to the point of explicit opposition. Especially the sins of those who have committed in life, death is indeed not enough to wash them away.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yi still couldn't hold back and asked more: "Does this death row prisoner have an enmity with you?" ”

Wang Weiwei's face still couldn't see anything, but Li Xiao's face did make Chen Yi see a clue.

It seems that there is really a grudge. Could it be that Li Xiao is also one of the so-called bitter masters? Chen Yi didn't explore too much, but simply diverted the topic: "Does the world after death really exist?" ”

"We don't know for sure if the world exists after death, but we've determined the existence of such a thing as a 'soul'." It was Wang Weiwei who answered this time, not that Li Xiao didn't know, but there were some things that he had the authority to know, but not the permission to spread. "Soul ...... Is it? Is there a strife between souls as well?" Chen Yi thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Or, those who are severely injured and die, will they have resentful spirits?" And when murderers die, do their souls come back for revenge? ”

"All those who die from a violent wound have a resentful spirit; But revenge...... Some can, some dissipate in heaven and earth, and some have forgotten their original intentions and become fierce spirits that wantonly seek revenge on everyone. ”

This time it was Li Xiao who answered, and with Wang Weiwei's approval, he also dared to say some words: "However, the person who has been punished by the 'Yama Treasure Palace', at the moment of death, will let all the resentful spirits that he has hurt and still exist in heaven and earth, or fierce spirits, will be pulled to his soul, fight with each other, and finally eliminate the resentment and turn back into ordinary souls, instead of each becoming resentful spirits that cannot be transcended." This is one of the three laws of my ability, and as long as the soul has not dissipated, there will be no exceptions. ”

Hearing this news, Chen Yi felt that the knots in his heart were a little smaller, but it was only a little less. Regardless of whether Li Xiao has an enmity with this person or not, his ability determines that he will inevitably use it against more strangers, which is not determined by Li Xiao himself, but by the characteristics of his ability.

However, even if the activation process of this ability of Yama Hall is still cruel, in terms of results, at least whether it is a death row prisoner or those who died in vain, it is a kind of liberation, a spiritual liberation.

Despite this, when Chen Yi returned home in the evening, he still felt a little blocked in his heart, and his interest was not high. This is Chen Yi's sympathy for the weak, and it has nothing to do with whether the other party is guilty or not, just because they are 'weak'. It is this pure compassion that makes Chen Yi have the urge to act bravely, but more often than not, reason tells him that there are some things that do not need to be treated violently.

Chen Yi was there looking at TV with his eyes drooping for a while, when a small hand suddenly touched his hand.

Although it was only one hand, it gradually calmed down Chen Yi's mood: although he couldn't manage the cruelty of others, whether he was cruel or not, he had a scale in his heart.

By holding this scale, you will be able to be impartial, not only in this matter, but also in other things.

How can you do things as you want? But it's good to be worthy of your heart.

Chen Yi, who had figured this out, stretched out again, holding Nuo Nuo's little hand, and couldn't help but feel uneasy: Although Nuo Nuo looked a little smaller, the feeling in his hand didn't look like a little girl at all.

Sensing Chen Yi's restlessness, Nuo Nuo subconsciously pulled his hand, but he didn't pull it out. I pumped it again, but it still didn't come out. The two were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and then Chen Yi felt that the little hand in his hand softened again, allowing him to hold it.

Chen Yi smiled and continued to hold Nuonuo's little hand.

Until they watched the TV show and the two went to bed, their hands were basically together. Even though Chen Yi and Nuo Nuo got up and went to the bathroom once, after coming back, their hands naturally pulled together.
