Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1608 Human Concerto
Humans are slaves to emotions.

Regarding this point, Ya Yiliu, who thought he was calmer than most people, realized it more deeply.

"Rational people" never exist, and most of people's decisions are determined by undercurrent-like emotions; and the inner world formed by emotions is so complicated that it becomes almost chaotic, and it is almost impossible to understand clearly.

A long time ago, when his home world was still a normal place, Yaichi Liu once watched a clip of a news interview on the Internet.

The news content is mainly about a local woman. After returning home from a business trip one afternoon, she did not contact her husband or friends or family members. She just took her two children away from home and disappeared. Several days passed and there was still no news. .

The case became very popular and soon appeared on TV; when the reporter interviewed the husband and asked him about the whole incident, there was a detail that Wu Yiliu remembered very deeply.

"Last night was very difficult for me." The husband looked at the reporter, his composure when he introduced the situation just now was finally shaken, as if his voice was about to crack: "I can't go to the children's room to turn off the lights for them, and I can't tell them Good night, I can't kiss my wife on the forehead as usual before going to bed...I am the only one left in the whole house. I just hope...I just hope that no matter where they are, they can come back .”

His tone seemed to be begging the reporter to bring them back.

At that time, Wu Yiliu couldn't help rewinding the video a little bit, and re-read the passage.He could feel that this feeling was real and touching, even the classmates who watched the video with him felt the same way; the grief and longing of the husband at that moment were clearly conveyed through the screen—although in the When he was sad, he also knew very well that it was he himself who killed his wife and children.

The reason why this news video was intercepted and circulated on the Internet is precisely because the husband was arrested by the police shortly after, pleaded guilty and went to jail.Human beings are such complicated creatures: even such a demonic person would, for a moment, truly miss the family members he killed.

If his mood at that moment could be infinitely magnified, what would it be like?Will he make a crying confession on TV?
That detail remained in Wu Yiliu's mind afterwards, and he never forgot it, but he couldn't remember it usually.When he suddenly remembered this news interview again, it was after he evolved his first ability.

"The third reason why I tell Abbie a story,"

In the torrential rain, Wu Yiliu looked at the woman who was still sitting on the rock, and said in a low voice, "Including the reason why I have talked so much with you... Let me tell you now."

"Abby" really couldn't stand up - "she" definitely tried, because the ominous meaning of this sentence is so strong that it can make any evolutionist twitch; but even though "Abby" put his hands on the stone, both Her legs were still as stiff and silent as the rocks beneath her, refusing to support her to stand up.

Wu Yiliu smiled lightly at her, and activated his ability.

The dark rainwater is like a background curtain. In front of the curtain, many different dream-like shapes are floating up at a very fast speed. They have no shape, and seem to be just a section of "feeling": like the water passing by under the deep water. The long shadow is like a sudden heartbeat, or the faint and repeated bird song.

The newly floating, illusion-like countless shadows are intertwined with the pitch-black mountain forest under the heavy rain in front of you, like various paints mixed in the water flow, some places are clearly separated, and some places are slightly blended.

Amidst the layer upon layer, turbulent and intertwined countless faint shadows, he immediately positioned his target—his body didn't move, but in his mind, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward, from countless The shadow that was almost fleeting was held down by the rapids and undercurrents.

Like a band conductor, Wu Yiliu holds the shadow that no one can see, and gently raises his hand: the notes he captured from this dark and complex movement are the timbres that he wants to amplify infinitely.

"Abby, now is the time!" He suddenly roared amidst the sound of the rumbling rain, his voice pierced through the rain curtain and scattered into the dark forest.

In the next instant, Abi, who was sitting on the rock, suddenly trembled, as if being pushed by someone, and fell to the ground.

The blond woman rolled down in the muddy grass under the rain, her limbs twitched, as if her body was about to be torn apart by two ideas; while Abby was fighting against the player's will, Wu Yiliu kept amplifying and strengthening himself just now. The "note" that was grasped - soon, the confrontation in the blonde woman's body came to fruition, she struggled to stand up from the grass, staggered forward a few steps, barely stood still, When he spoke again, he was already crying.

"It's me, Abby," she said, not only in short breaths, but every word seemed to be crushed with eagerness, "It's me, I—I—how could, how could Like that?"

Wu Yiliu stared at Abi, but still didn't let go of the breath that was caught by him.

Three seconds, two seconds, one second——when the time limit for the ability was up, and all the auras circling and crisscrossing in front of him suddenly disappeared, he immediately rushed forward in two steps, grabbed Abby's wrist, and shouted: "Run! "

After all, Abby is also an evolutionary who has a foothold in the Twelve Realms. He reacted quickly and rushed into the dark and rainy mountain forest with him, shouting as he ran, "Where are we going? What should we do?" ? Will they catch up?"

If there are really two players, at least one other person who is always "invisible" will definitely catch up immediately.As a "soul" whose form is unknown, Wu Yiliu is not sure how fast he is, or whether he is limited by speed.

But the two of them have to run, at least when running, their minds, bodies and concentration will all be tied to "running" itself: Wu Yiliu hopes that this can help them resist the player's whispers.

It’s just that Abby just woke up, and there are too many doubts. After the two of them ran for a while in the dark rain, she couldn’t help asking: “Just, just now, you used your ability. Did you save me?"

Wu Yiliu wanted to see the way and run away, so he took time out of his busy schedule to answer: "I used my evolution ability to temporarily suppress that player for a while!"

After speaking, he couldn't hold back himself, and smiled wryly.

His luck might have been exhausted while trying to survive and evolve, so the first evolution ability he generated didn't seem to be very powerful in any way—when he gradually regained his sanity on the ground in the alley, For a long while he waited for himself to fly off walls, to fly, or to have lights shoot out of his eyes; it took him a while before he finally realized that he could only "see" human emotions and feelings now.

【Human Concerto】

If every human being is a most complex concerto, those flowing, alternating, echoing notes must be the emotional feelings that dominate most of human decision-making behavior: anger, fear, compassion, empathy, anxiety, longing , Satisfied... But with the notes, it may not be able to form a satisfactory piece of music, right?

After activating the ability, not only can you see all the emotions and feelings produced by the people around you - all of them, no matter how subtle and short-lived - but you can also pick out one of the flowing emotions and continuously enlarge or depress it , as the conductor decides which part of the movement to make stronger or lighter.

Everyone is a mixture of complex emotions, even if the enemy's fear flashes past for a moment, as long as you can grasp it and enlarge it, you don't even need to move, you can use the enemy's own emotions to overwhelm you. The enemy crushes, collapses.

Of course, when a certain emotional feeling is strengthened or weakened to a certain extent, the target will naturally take corresponding actions: when it is too desperate and depressed, it may jump into the sea by itself, or it may shoot you. This is all possible. .

At the current stage of this ability, only one emotion is allowed to be grasped, the time limit is 15 seconds, and this ability can be used once every 12 hours.If you meet the upgrade requirements in the future, you can not only manipulate the intensity of your emotions, but even adjust the direction of your emotions: for example, the "pleasure" you grasp can also be adjusted to "sadness" little by little.

Wu Yiliu later discovered that, generally speaking, the evolutionary's first evolutionary ability is closely related to the doomsday world he lives in; but for some reason, his ability does not seem to have anything to do with shapeshifters or the chaotic doomsday world. Instead, it focuses on the emotions and feelings of human beings themselves.

He was very disappointed.What can it do?Even if you can use the other party's fear to overwhelm the other party, who would feel the emotion of "fear" when seeing him as a fledgling evolutionary with low abilities?
However, Wu Yiliu survived step by step by relying on it, and produced a second evolutionary ability, which gradually increased like a snowball, and finally came to the Twelve Realms, and earned himself a professional reputation—— —Thinking about the experience of the past ten years, it is like a dream.

"The player who brainwashed you." In the oncoming wind and rain, Wu Yiliu felt as if he was about to eat a mouthful of rain, and it was more difficult to speak and breathe than usual: "I can't recover from his ecstasy in a short time , the other one I have never communicated with, and I don’t even know if there is another player.”

"Then, where are we going now? Do you know which direction we came from?"

Wu Yiliu wiped off the rain on his face, and replied loudly: "Let's go back to the camping hut!"

　Recently, I accidentally discovered that it turns out that I am not the only one who is suffering, and that many, many people are experiencing different struggles.This sounds like nonsense, and of course I know it intellectually, but it seems that I have only recently felt it emotionally... Life is a mass of confusion and struggle, and happiness is short-lived, and you can run away when you touch it.The consolation is that we still have knowledge and aesthetics, and the pleasures from spiritual Babylon are always reliable—resources for sustainable development.
