Chapter 2: The Heartless
Being watched by a group of criminal police officers with scrutinizing eyes, even people with good psychological quality will inevitably feel a burst of panic.
But Mu Yuan just pushed the three hats on his head with a calm face, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his heart.
This is not because his psychological qualities are far beyond ordinary people;
It's not because he's used to being treated as a suspect four times in a row in a week;
It's because ......
Mu Yuan really doesn't have a "heart".
…
…
"Heartless man": He who has a human soul but no human emotion, who can neither feel fear nor joy.
As a rare heartless person, Mu Yuan was able to see the "Heart Circle" ball of light suspended above other people's heads since he was a child, and knew that if he wanted to have human emotions, he must also light up one of these balls of light.
It's not easy.
The "heart circle" is not only the embodiment of the inner self, but also the strongest shell of the soul.
If a mindless person wants to have a heart circle, he must collect enough "Mood Sand" and "Mood Fish" to engrave at least three "heart patterns" in his soul as the skeleton of the heart circle.
(Emotional sand: The light sand that escapes from the circle of the heart when people's emotions fluctuate violently.) Natural annihilation creates emotional sparks that can burn the soul. )
(Emotional fish: A light fish born from the circle of the heart when people have an emotional breakdown or outburst.) Carrying part of the master's obsession, when it dies or spontaneously combusts, it will turn into an emotional flame that is enough to burn the soul. )
(Heart Pattern: A magical tassel pattern composed of powerful mental power and thoughts, often found in the body of an emotional fish and the soul of a person without a heart.) The more tasseled paths there are, the stronger the souls of the emotional fish and the heartless will be. )
The more inscribed hearts there are, the stronger the illuminated heart circle will be.
All the emotional fish and emotional sand engraved in the soul as heart patterns can make the soul more tenacious, and at the same time drive the improvement of the physical body, so that the heartless person has the spiritual strength and physique beyond ordinary people.
Each engraved heart pattern can also give the heartless person a unique and strange ability.
It can be said that the process of lighting up the circle of the heart is also the transcendent path for those who have no heart.
But......
Until then, the heartless have no heart.
Without a round heart, there is no way to resist the burn of emotional sparks, and the pain is like the soul being burned with a cigarette butt.
Without a circle of hearts, it is impossible to extinguish the burning of emotional flames, and that despair will burn like a bone to the point that the soul is completely gone.
It is a transcendent path and a path of thorns.
One wrong step can lead to scars and catastrophes.
What's more, what's even more unacceptable is that even if you carefully go all the way to the end, all that a heartless person can light up is just an ugly heart circle that is mottled and full of flaws.
After all, there will be mottled and flawed parts of ordinary people's heart circles, which are the weaknesses of the heart circle, which are far more fragile than the pure and perfect parts, and are also more likely to be contaminated with emotional sand and emotional fish.
Heartless people can only be more mottled by collecting the emotional sand produced by ordinary people and the heart circle lit up by emotional fish.
…
However, the heartless person does not want his heart to be mottled, not because it is ugly, but because it ......
The mottling and imperfections in the heart circle are like unguarded transparent glass windows on a solid fortress for the unhearted.
Through these mottles and imperfections, the unintentional person can easily read the emotional changes in the hearts of others.
If a person's heart is mottled and ugly enough, an unintentional person can even possess an ability similar to "mind reading".
Heartless people have no emotions, but they don't want their minds to be completely seen by others.
…
After going through hardships and dangers, in the end, this can only be achieved.
It stands to reason that no unintentional person would choose to light up the circle of hearts.
But the truth is the opposite, many unintentional people have embarked on this path.
Because...
The choices made by unintentional people are not measured by good or bad, good or evil.
Whether it lights up the heart circle or not, or even whether it is life or death, for those who have no heart, it is just the difference between wanting and not wanting to.
If they want to experience the power beyond ordinary people, they will go out of their way to light up their hearts.
If they want to live a life without anything and self, they will not hesitate to cut off everything and decisively choose to travel far away.
Even if they want to experience the feeling of falling from a height, they may choose a random cliff to jump down in the next second.
For the unintentional, it is all about what you want or don't think, and how your current choices affect your ultimate goal.
…
Therefore, throughout the ages, the heartless people who have left records in the world are basically divided into two factions.
A faction detached himself, gave up everything, and lived a leisurely life completely away from the world, becoming what people call "a monk who has attained the Tao and a cyclalist in the clouds......".
The other faction indulged in self and tried every means to "create" emotional fish that could be safely absorbed, causing a human tragedy and becoming what people call "Satan, Diablo, Moriarty......".
Other than that, there is no third option.
But Mu Yuan didn't want to follow the old path of his predecessors.
In the face of death, those who have no heart have only a choice and no fear.
Even if no one has ever succeeded, even if he may die, Mu Yuan wants to go out of the third way.
He thought......
- Light up a pure and flawless perfect heart circle for yourself!
…
If there is an owner of the Perfect Heart Circle in the world, Mu Yuan's plan is not difficult to achieve, he only needs to collect the Emotion Fish and Mood Sand generated in the Perfect Heart Circle.
Unfortunately, there is no way to have a perfect heart circle in the real world.
I am afraid that the only one who can live his true self without any scruples without being affected by the outside world and others, and not let his heart circle be damaged in the slightest, and not be contaminated with dirt at all, is probably the only one who can live his true self without any scruples......
- The paper man in the two-dimensional world.
…
Unsurprisingly, Mu Yuan failed.
Even if he came up with a way to set his soul on fire with the flames of emotion, thus refining the mottled parts carved into it;
Even if he endured the sharp pain of the mottles and blemishes that exploded deep in his soul;
In the end, he failed.
If it weren't for the top-level emotional fish left by his adoptive father before he died, it was enough to have five heart lines;
If it weren't for the ignition of his soul, he wouldn't need to be like other unintentional people, in order to prevent the emotional fish from resisting spontaneous combustion when absorbing, first get rid of the remaining obsessions in it (complete the requirements made by the emotional fish);
Mu Yuan may really be gone.
…
Fortunately, Mu Yuan is so lucky.
Under the protection of the five-pattern emotional fish, although he lost the two heart patterns engraved in his previous life, and his soul was left with serious burns, he got the opportunity to travel to the new world and start again.
But unfortunately......
It was precisely because of the existence of this five-striped emotional fish that an invisible wall was created between Mu Yuan's soul and his new body, making him unable to control his body at will for a period of time after he had just crossed over.
It feels like you're playing a life simulation game with a strong sense of substitution - you can influence your choices and decisions, but you can only watch your body do it on its own.
On top of that, this new world also seems to be a little different from Earth.
In this world, there seem to be more names called "Rice Flower Town" and "Kakudo Town...... Places like that.
