Chapter 1: Between Fates

Next Chapter

When exactly did you lose your feelings?

Joy, love, fear, sorrow...... What does it all feel like?

I don't remember at all.

A person who exists alone in this world......

Lonely?

No.

Because the emotion of loneliness has long been forgotten.

Be indifferent.

Yan Luo opened his eyes and found himself standing in a thick fog, white mist, black mist, blood mist, purple mist...... The fog of various colors dyes the space colorfully, and the tumbling and surging fog is constantly changing.

"Where is this?"

If it were a normal person, I was afraid that I would be frightened and frightened when I came to such a place at home for some reason, but Yan Luo just watched all this calmly and indifferently.

"It's ...... The view inside you. ”

A voice came to my heart: "Tentatively advance into the depths of the fog, to find the power of fate." ”

Yan Luo looked at his feet, through the thick fog he could faintly see a path covered with stone slabs that stretched forward, and after a few seconds of silence he began to walk, this path winds and twists, and he doesn't know where it leads, and patches of white gradually fall from the space.

Snowflakes.

The whole space was dead silent, only the footsteps of "pop, pop, pop" as Yanluo advanced, and the snow fell silently on his body.

The surrounding fog dispersed.

There was still a thick fog in the distance.

Yan Luo stopped and saw that on both sides of this unknown path, there were flowers as red as blood in bloom, and he recognized this as Manzhu Sahua, the flower that grew on the Yellow Spring Road of Hell and guided the soul to the other side of the Santu River, also known as the Flower of the Other Bank.

On the side of the road, the petals shimmered with red flowers that shimmered with blood, forming a blood-drenched handwriting:

"Kill!"

In the middle of the flower field, a young girl sits.

The long black hair like a waterfall falls to the ground, scattered into duckweed, and the skin whiter than snowflakes can be blown and broken, this quietly sits in the flower field, like a girl outlined in black and white ink, and the beauty can almost make the world lose its color.

"Who is she?"

Looking at the girl who reflected the crimson light of Manju Sahua, Yanluo asked in her heart.

The voice in my heart gives the answer:

"She's Anima."

"Or rather, that's you as a woman."

In the subconscious of both men and women, there is a personality of the opposite sex, hidden in the depths of the heart, the female personality of the man is Anima, and the male personality of the woman is the Animus, which can be seen as the self of sexual transformation, and it is also the perfect partner of imagery, the only one in the heart of every man and woman.

"Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined to life and death, flowers and leaves are born and born, and each other will never be lost."

The girl chanted shallowly, accompanied by the ethereal sound of flowers and the figure of the woman, and the scattered snowflakes all disappeared, the thick fog came again, Yan Luo silently continued to move forward, and the sound of flowing water was heard in the distance, and the phantom of a bridge.

The bridge is divided into three layers, the upper layer is red, the middle layer is yellow, and the lower layer is pitch black.

"That's ...... Light? ”

Light emerges in the dim distance.

Yan Luo walked towards the light, and the fog that shrouded the space began to boil, and dark and distorted human figures appeared in the fog, these hideous, strange and terrifying human forms like monsters, stretched out arms one after another, struggling and scratching.

The dense arms, like countless black branches sticking out of a dead tree, reached out to Yanluo.

"What is this?"

"Shadows."

The voice sounded in my heart again.

"The so-called shadows are the dark side hidden in the consciousness, which can be said to be the dark and evil personality that is suppressed in the heart, but don't be afraid, these shadows are bound and bound by the shackles of your heart."

Yan Luo had already discovered that the twisted black shadows, each of which was wrapped in chains, fangs and claws, could not touch his own body.

So he's very calm.

Of course, the bigger reason is the loss of affection and the ability to maintain peace of mind in the face of any horror.

Surrounded by countless armsβ€”countless black arms that were straight and bent in their palms, Yanluo walked step by step to the light.

A white glow.

He stretched out his hand, and the small cloud of light floating in the void landed in his palm.

"Boom!"

Everything is gone, and everything around it is completely changed, turning it into a gray, bleak, colorless space.

In front of him is a table with a human sitting behind and to the side of the table.

A black-haired boy and a young girl with white hair and red eyes.

"Welcome here."

"This is the gap where dream and reality, spirit and matter, time and space meet, you might call it fate."

"Only those who have made a contract in some form can come to the place."

The young man on the opposite side was calm and indifferent, and Yan Luo suddenly had a strange feeling, this young man seemed to have lost his emotions like himself, but this feeling disappeared immediately, because a gentle smile appeared on the young man's face.

"You can call me: Observer, this is my assistant."

The white-haired and red-eyed young girl nodded politely to Yanluo.

"Welcome, ruthless one who pushes the boundaries of humanity: Yanluo."

Yan Luo's fingers flicked slightly, even if he had no feelings, he was a little concerned about this title.

"You don't have much time in this place, so there are some things I won't explain, you'll understand later, and I'm going to say two things."

"First: Boundaries."

"The so-called boundaries are living things, a racial upper limit engraved in the genes, the limit that ordinary people, no matter how much effort they put in, can not reach, these boundaries contain many aspects, regardless of IQ, physical fitness, speed...... Or appearance, specialty, habits. ”

"Some boundaries are not very rare, for example, the height of ordinary people will not exceed 2 meters, but some people exceed it, he is a tall person who breaks through the boundaries of human beings."

"And you."

The young man's arms were placed on the table, and his hands were clenched into fists against his chin: "Normal people, you don't lose your feelings, you don't have feelings, so you are a ruthless person who breaks through the boundaries of human beings." ”

Of course, this is only the most superficial limit of talent, and beyond that, there are life boundaries, soul boundaries, and volitional boundaries...... But by breaking through the boundaries of the first level of talent, you have talents that surpass ordinary people, thus giving you the potential to touch the truth of the world. ”

"Second, look at the ball of light in your hand."

At the boy's prompting, Yanluo looked at the white light.

"It's a seed of hope."

"A seed condensed by the power of hope can fulfill one of your wishes."

"Wish?" Yan Luo paused and asked, "Can any wish come true?" ”

"Of course not." The boy smiled, "This is the power of hope, not the power of omnipotence, to be precise, this seed of hope will be based on the wishes you make, combined with your talents, to give birth to the ability, as for what this ability is, it belongs to the answer of the future." ”

"Wish......"

Yan Luo looked at the boy, "So what is the price?" ”

"As great as the ability, there is as much responsibility, you will say goodbye to your original life, you will be in contact with the truth of the world, you will experience dangers, and even, you will usher in ...... Death and the end. ”

"Choose...... Heartless, if you don't want to go through all this, then you will return to reality, this memory will also disappear, if you will, make your wish to this seed of hope, and your life will be rewritten. ”

"What is death compared to being emotionally untouched and living like the walking dead?"

Yan Luo held the seed of hope in front of him: "I want ...... Affection. ”

"You've awakened the talent of fate: the Heartless Doll."

"Heartless puppets: puppets who have lost their hearts, you can realize the strong emotions released by others, absorb emotions, and fuse emotions to produce a personality mask to deal with the situation, different emotions, fusion will produce different masks."
