Chapter Twenty-Three: Brainlessness and Unhappyness

When the inferior and the strangulation came, there was really no leisure to appreciate the unique style of Yongquan Island.

On the one hand, it is because they are in a really bad state, and on the other hand, it is also because Tongshen Island and Sun Island have brought them too much shock.

The grandeur of sitting in an airboat and looking down at the earth from above is enough to completely reshape a person's three views.

- For example, strangulation. When he saw the solemn and sacred Sun Island, his whole mind seemed to be washed and reshaped.

Now, every time he thinks about the thirteen large and small discs that revolve around the island of the sun, his mind becomes quiet, and he realizes how small and ordinary he is.

On this point, the godfather can't do it, and the end of the country can't do it.

Even though Strangulation has now left the lower town, he lives under the sun and has a decent job.

But he still didn't think that he would become ordinary and lose his sharpness.

Even if he could understand that the "Godfather" has now become a big man who can be accepted by the people, and even has many followers...... However, he still did not send his loyalty.

He is not a tamed lion who can endure the humiliation of a lion dancer. The tiger skin he wears at all times proves this.

Of course, his reluctance to obey his godfather is not because of his godfather's past as a singer and idol. Strangulation also disdains to look down on others for stupid reasons such as appearance, gender, spiritual affinity, and occupation.

If you don't offer your loyalty as a subordinate for just this reason, it's as if you were willing to obey the other person if you didn't have a woman, "If you weren't a singer or an idol" – saying such uninteresting things would only devalue your loyalty, along with your personality.

The reason why he was unwilling to be completely loyal to the Godfather was simple.

Because of the pride of strangulation, he was destined to not be able to live under people for a long time. And his wisdom and sobriety made him soberly aware of this.

He was very respectful of his mentor's death, and that was based on a kind of "filial piety", and also because his mentor did not hold power, nor did he want to rule over him, to control him—if he really wanted to control himself, then strangulation would inevitably rebel.

and he shall set himself up king. Even if it was only one solitary king, even if he was imprisoned in a husk, he would still like to call himself king.

———— is not to dominate others, but simply to be ruled by others.

Therefore, the strangulation is also clearly understood...... His ability as a leader is far inferior to that of the "godfather." But he doesn't lose his temper out of the blue, out of place, or get angry like a baby.

His sober will allows him to understand what he "should" do.

Because of this, despite his reluctance, he has already obeyed the leadership of the godfather for more than half a year.

And when he is the "subordinate" of the godfather, no matter what kind of dissatisfaction and recklessness and strangulation he has in his heart, he will never be rotten. He will always take every errand that comes his way seriously—even if it might kill him, and he will never back down.

Disrespect for the leader and disobedience to the rule...... But at the same time, he will complete the task 100% seriously, even at the cost of his own life. Strangulation is such a contradiction.

But in general, at his core, "pride" is at its core.

Of course, that's why...... The fire of the furnace born from "wrath" is now unusable.

When he saw a wider world, when he clearly realized more truth...... The endless "anger" hidden in the flames began to be gradually tainted by pride and jealousy, and lost that purity.

Specifically, from the winter of half a year ago———— when the godfather participated in the emperor's talk show, so that the "Brokers" were completely whitewashed and able to stand in the sun.

The strangulation is finally letting go of everything in the past.

He could really confirm that the godfather was not telling half a lie. He is

The one who is still willing to pull out the people who are struggling in the swamp one by one after getting out of the swamp...... It's not the kind of person who is still stuck in the quagmire because he is on the shore, and he teases and bullies him at will.

Because his perspective is different...... He never took that little quagmire in his eyes or heart. From beginning to end, he looked at the sky.

These people cannot be his opponents, nor can they be his opponents.

It is this kind of grace that is taken for granted that makes those who do not know what rules, promises, and discipline are, willing to respect him as a leader...... Or, "Make him king."

Realize that your time has indeed passed. The anger in the heart of the strangulation finally dissipated...... Instead, there is confusion.

- In the words of the end of the country, he was not suitable for the Forge Path.

Because his vision is not broad enough.

He never lived for others, for the people.

It is precisely because of this that the eyes of the strangulation do not see the suffering of the people, and they do not become angry because of it. Without the resolute desire to "elevate oneself and sublimate oneself to attain great wisdom," he would not be able to forge his soul in the midst of painful suffering.

From beginning to end, he only had himself in his eyes. What he seeks is freedom, transcendence, and unfetteredness.

For Strangulation, anger is just anger, pain is just pain———— anger doesn't pour into it and becomes his strength, and pain can't sharpen his edge.

Like the Godfather, none of them are suitable for the Forge Way. None of them had that fiery anger in their hearts.

It is not a blind dedication, nor a blazing burnout, but a determination to slowly and painfully ignite oneself and illuminate the world for others.

It is impossible for such a person to live and grow up in this kind of world. Neither uptown nor downtown, there is no place for them.

But it is precisely because of this that after letting go of his burden and no longer needing to protect those younger brothers who once followed him, Strangling was finally able to find his own way.

So from mid-December, after saying goodbye to his hometown, he left the "Pain Furnace" and stepped into the "Crazy Mountains".

He was no longer in pain and no longer angry. However, the flames of the past "pain" and "anger" can also be transformed into adjacent paths.

And there are only three roads here......

He can choose to embark on the path of "frustration", to "rage" or "madness"; Or embark on the path of "despair" and go to the area that represents "reflection" or "depravity".

———— or reinventing their pride after being tempered by "madness", or falling into the same "madness" as the end of the "road of frustration".

The destination that the strangulation wants to go to is a place that symbolizes "pride" and can exchange one's arrogance for power.

After months of nightmares, he finally woke up from his endless madness.

He did not succumb to madness, but came to his senses———— smoothly passed from the end of the "Crazy Mountains" to the "Cliff of Victory".

He burned his anger into a ruthless light that represented "arrogance".

He is much weaker now than he was at his peak...... He's much, much weaker than he was back then.

Because "arrogance" is an emotion that is not as suitable for fighting with others as "rage". The spells that emerge from this emotion will not be as dangerous, manic, and deadly as "rage". And, more crucially, he abandoned his "school".

Before finding a new mentor, Strangling is now Master Yeluzi.

However, Seon was not blessed.

After losing the boundless anger that had always haunted him, Strangle's personality became a little calmer. Although the mind full of arrogance is also not suitable for thinking, at least it will not be like in the past, because of the blood, and inexplicably fight with people.

On the contrary, the pride of purity, not mixed with the slightest inferiority, breeds the light of pity.

Now, his temper is much better than that of an inferior person who has the spiritual ability of "empty silence".

It's the inferior...... After the irrational mania of the past faded, the emptiness that haunted his heart made him more and more irritable. However, the strong sense of emptiness that he didn't care about anything and that nothing could satisfy him made his way of looking at things extremely rational. Because he doesn't care about anything, it also makes his perspective wider and farther...... Things that I never saw before can now be easily understood when I calm down.

The inferior also understood after that how naïve and stupid his previous self was.

The former inferior is actually cold-hearted and kind-hearted. And now, although he seems to have an indifferent expression and no longer has a stinky face, his heart has become indifferent...... And because he cared too much about everything, he was deceived and teased by almost everyone back and forth.

Now that he has become a "silencer", after losing his warmth, impatience, and short-sightedness, he has also gained the opposite ability.

If anything, what do the inferior have in common with strangulation......

That is, they are all in the opposite position to themselves a year ago.

If she told Paradise Bird, she would not believe it - this tough guy lion with scars all over his body is actually only twenty-eight years old this year; And in the past, the "senior" who always had a stinky face, as if he was the only one in heaven and on earth, was actually only twenty-six years old.

In the words of Russell Paradise Bird, "It is easy for young people in their twenties to reshape their past outlook on life. It's not that they're too fickle, it's just that they're not set the mold."

Now there is a saying about their combination on Russell's side.

- It's called "brainless and unhappy".
