66: Chapter 66: The Heart Has a Demon!
A myriad of chaotic emotions cascaded upon him, fear, uneasiness, excitent, impulsiveness, thrill, frenzy, enjoynt, loneliness…
In just an instant, it was as if he had tasted thousands of emotions.
He hurriedly suppressed this feeling with rationality.
Too bizarre.
This feeling was almost identical to the sensation of killing in the new recruits’ competition, yet there was a distinction as vast as the heavens and the earth in its subtlety.
He composed himself and, after a short while, he let out a long sigh, completely suppressing the discomfort.
Yang Jian was right; this indeed was different.
Beside him, Yang Jian saw this scene and a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes.
Imdiately, he said, “Continue.”
As his words fell, the hoods of the remaining three death-row prisoners were all taken off, leaving Xiao Zhan sowhat stunned.
Because unlike the viciousness of the first person, these three looked incredibly frail and pitiful.
Two n and a woman, one of the n an old man, they were all weeping bitterly, their faces etched with pleas.
The mont they saw Xiao Zhan, they were filled with a fear of death, yet also brimming with the hope of survival!
“Young man, please let go, I am innocent.”
“Young man, I’m just an ordinary person.
A rich second generation stole my Artifact Spirit and frad by throwing into jail!
Please help !”
“Young lad, I am old now and have no thoughts of getting out.
Please help deliver a ssage to a grave next to the old locust tree in Sanxi Village, just say I was innocent and I never wronged her.”
The three of them each begged for rcy.
This scene made Xiao Zhan hesitate, looking towards Yang Jian.
But Yang Jian said nothing.
Xiao Zhan rembered sothing Yang Jian had told him earlier, that these were all death-row prisoners.
Imdiately, his gaze beca resolute.
Hand raised, blade fell.
The young man was executed.
The sensation of killing returned, but this ti, so feelings were lessened, like uneasiness, fear… While others intensified, such as excitent, frenzy.
“Continue.”
There was no ti to think, as Yang Jian’s voice rang out again.
Xiao Zhan wanted to take a mont to stabilize this feeling.
But Yang Jian’s voice was very urgent and stern.
“Continue!”
Xiao Zhan knew Yang Jian didn’t want him to dwell on it, feeling so confusion in his heart, but still he walked towards the third person.
The woman.
“Young man, I really am wronged, I still have children…”
Before she could finish speaking.
Xiao Zhan put an end to it.
Once the resolve to kill was set, he would not waver.
Warm blood splashed onto his face, and in an instant, the multitude of confusing emotions in his mind were wiped away by a large extent.
Only leaving behind those scarce two or three feelings, frenzy, excitent, bubbling up once again and intensifying.
And it was even more so in leaps and bounds.
“Continue!”
Yang Jian urged again!
With even more urgency in his voice.
Almost the instant he spoke, Xiao Zhan had already moved towards the last person on his own.
He felt his blood quickening, his breathing heavy.
The old man looked at Xiao Zhan with utter calm, waiting for death to co.
But as Xiao Zhan looked at him, his eyes flickered with a blood-red light.
The knife in his hand trembled at this mont, not with fear, but with excitent!
“Crack!”
The last death-row prisoner’s head fell to the ground.
And as the severed head hit the ground, sothing inside Xiao Zhan seed to unlock, causing all his complex emotions to vanish, leaving only a boiling frenzy of bloodlust!
He felt his entire body igniting, as if he were on fire!
But it was a burning sensation from the inside out!
He had an overwhelming addiction, a longing to continue killing like this!
“Snap out of it!”
But just then, a bucket of cold water suddenly woke him up!
The boiling feeling inside Xiao Zhan abruptly vanished, replaced by a deep, cold fear.
His scalp tingled, and his back went cold!
“What…
what happened to just now?”
Xiao Zhan looked at Yang Jian with imnse fear, feeling as though he had beco soone else for a mont.
If it hadn’t been for that lucky splash of cold water, he felt he would have done sothing utterly insane!
Shock and a deep-seated fear that was hard to detect were also present in Yang Jian’s eyes.
Xiao Zhan was simply too terrifying, and it was fortunate that he hadn’t been subjected to the tempering of the killer’s heart.
Otherwise, it’s very likely he would have turned into a demon.
The consequences would have been unimaginable!
“Alright, stop there, that’s enough for now.
You’ll go straight to special training for killing techniques later,” Yang Jian said without answering Xiao Zhan’s question.
His tone was sowhat heavy.
“But I haven’t finished yet,” said Ye Youlong beside him.
She hadn’t even started because she was waiting for Xiao Zhan.
Yang Jian shook his head, “No need, having Xiao Zhan alone is enough.”
With that, he waved his hand grandly, and suddenly the scene before them changed completely.
The scorching sumr day vanished, the execution ground disappeared, the criminals were gone, everything was gone, replaced by an empty, sealed room.
“This is…?”
Xiao Zhan looked around in astonishnt, “Everything just now…”
Yang Jian nodded, “Yes, everything just now was an illusion, or perhaps it’s wrong to call it an illusion, those were all your feelings.”
“This room is the Federation’s newly developed Neural Sensory Mimicry Cultivation Room, different from the one in your academy, this one doesn’t need suits or the assistance of a Cultivation Cabin.”
“This one works by introducing special air molecules into the room, which enter the body and form a connection with the brain, unconsciously simulating any desired environnt or object.”
As Yang Jian explained, he took back the knife from Xiao Zhan’s hand, “This knife is forged from an Essence Qi Stone, its sole purpose is to harness the user’s ‘Essence Energy’, to rapidly enter a certain state.”
“The special training just now was actually just a test for you.”
“A test?” Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was dumbfounded.
So they played a trick within a trick on him?
“So, what were the results of the test?”
Yang Jian’s expression was very heavy, “I only want to say five words.”
“It’s not a big deal?” Xiao Zhan guessed.
“Born to kill.”
Yes, born to kill.
This might sound like a complint, but Yang Jian said it with great weight; clearly, these five words were not a complint to Xiao Zhan.
Why would he say that?
Because Xiao Zhan’s test results were beyond expectations.
Normally, the Spirit Energy Blade would amplify the most truthful state of the tester’s heart to the extre by the ti they killed the third person.
For those killing for the first ti, most would show fear.
A few with strong willpower could maintain a sliver of sanity.
So would break down.
Others would go mad!
But to fall into a demonic frenzy from the start like Xiao Zhan, was very rare!
Not one in ten thousand people would turn out this way.
But he did.
What does this an?
It ans that inside Xiao Zhan lives a terrifying demon!
