"If you have comprehended the Unity of Man and Heaven Heart Cultivation, can I make the following deductions? One, before or after you died, you lived under the constraints of others for a long ti; Two, you were too suppressed—the kind where no matter what you did, you would be denied and interfered with by others, so you eliminated the source of the denial and interference."
Speaking up to here, Chen Ran stared fixedly at the silent Shu Renjun: "Could it be that... you killed your mother with your own hands? Thinking that by doing so, you could live without constraints?"
Shu Renjun lit a cigarette, glanced at Chen Ran, and said indifferently: "It's useless. I have cultivated the Unity of Man and Heaven; worldly fraworks can hardly constrain anymore."
Chen Ran smiled without speaking. He knew that the Unity of Man and Heaven Heart Cultivation also had different realms, and Shu Renjun had not yet reached the level of being immune to moral kidnapping.
But the next mont.
The two of them didn't speak any nonsense. They just stared fixedly into each other's eyes, clashing with the Distance-Free Technique.
…
Ti reversed to half an hour ago.
Shu Renjun asked: "Can you tell what weaknesses Chen Ran exposed during the Triple-Layer Simulation?"
"You can choose not to tell , but I hope you can figure out the logic within."
Hearing this, Hua Changsheng pondered slightly.
'He wants to bet on ti against !'
'Simply put, if Chen Ran cos out alive, there is a probability he will use Eternal Kingdom.'
'My skill will be banned by Eternal Kingdom for an hour.'
'If Shu Renjun obtains Chen Ran's weakness, in the next Instance, he will trick a lie out of Chen Ran, but he will not Judge Chen Ran. What he wants to do is trick out a lie from within that hour...'
'Otherwise, the initiative will fall into the hands of Chen Ran, who had a lie tricked out of him.'
Simply put, Hua Changsheng's skill could only be countered by Chen Ran. Shu Renjun would first trick a lie out of Chen Ran.
But he wouldn't kill him imdiately. He needed to trick out the Boss's lie within an hour before he would consider killing Chen Ran, and then kill the Boss.
Otherwise, once the hour ended, Chen Ran could use the fact that he countered the Boss's skill to make demands of Shu Renjun, making him speak a Future Lie: discard Chen Ran's lie this ti.
"Chen Ran's weakness: he feels he owes a debt to family affection, but family affection cannot stop him."
"He cannot face romantic love; his girlfriend's death might be related to him."
Hearing this, the corners of Shu Renjun's mouth curled up.
…
Ti returned to the present.
Within the Distance-Free Technique space.
"I have a Dad." Chen Ran glanced at Shu Renjun opposite him: "From childhood to adulthood, my Dad treated very well. Although he always liked to keep a straight face, I still rember him teaching to read and write, fish, play basketball and table tennis, play chess... farm, pull weeds, and ride a bike."
'It's riding a bike!'
"For , the deepest impression was him teaching how to ride a bicycle."
"I was still small back then. I couldn't get onto the Vintage Bicycle that adults rode; I could only pass my leg under the crossbar, and every ti I could only step the pedal half a turn. I needed soone holding it from behind."
"My father was behind , watching fall and helping up, watching fall again and helping up again, as if he were tireless. Every ti, I would tearfully ask him to hold it steadier, and he would always respond. Until the last ti, when I rode very far, I realized my father was still standing at the starting point."
"I think adults are all like this when children learn to ride bicycles, right?"
"Later, my Dad went to work in the city, leaving only my mom and at ho. Every day I played crazily with the kids in the village, and my mom would spank my bottom. She was very strict with , and for a ti I thought I was a fatherless child."
Shu Renjun couldn't help but clench his fists.
"She controlled everything I did, told to study hard and do her proud. Every day after coming ho from school, after finishing my howork, it was reading books. I really envied the days when my dad was still around, when I could go crazy with the village kids."
"But as ti went on, the kids in the village stopped playing with . They bullied , saying I was a fatherless child."
"Every ti my mom heard these words, she would hit . I didn't understand why she hit instead of the people who bullied ."
"Growing up, I was very conflicted. On the one hand, I knew my mom worked very hard, and on the other hand, I didn't like her controlling everything about ."
"Under the tornt of this conflict, I beca taciturn. Whenever I mustered the courage to try and negotiate with her, she would always use the 'do you know how hard I work' tone."
"She is a widow; she wanted to prove sothing through her son, but I am not her tool."
"Under this suppression, my psychology gradually beca twisted. I had excellent grades and obtained a guaranteed university admission quota early on, but I disdained this guaranteed admission. I wanted to take the college entrance examination, get into the ideal university and major in my heart. I wanted to take the exam and go far away to completely escape her!"
"But, my mom chose the guaranteed admission for , to a local school."
"I knew that I could never escape her clutches again, and I hated her!"
As Chen Ran spoke up to here, the veins on Shu Renjun's forehead were already bulging: "Shut up!"
"I killed her! With a knife, pesticide, a rock, a pillow, string—I strangled her to death with a string!"
"I clearly felt her breathing gradually becoming rapid. She struggled to look back at . Those eyes... I will never forget them for the rest of my life. What kind of eyes were those? Those are eyes I often dream about. I turned my head away, not daring to look into her eyes. She just stared at fixedly, as if looking at a stranger."
"I thought that by killing her, I could indulge myself recklessly. I could stay up all night at the internet cafe playing gas, I could fight with my classmates, I could go crazy outside every day."
"But I found out I was wrong. If I stayed up all night playing gas, my body would constrain ; if I fought with classmates, school rules would constrain . I killed my mother, and the law would constrain , morality would condemn , classmates would scold , and even my own inner self would despise ."
"Did I regret it?"
"I regretted it. This world has so many rules and regulations. Even if I broke free from my mother's control, there were still morality, laws, and the Disorganized Mob constraining . I died and ca to Hell, only to suffer so much tornt again. Every rule, every piece of Common Sense, every Deceiver's Tongue is constraining ."
"Shu Renjun, admit it! After suffering so much tornt, you regret it! Do you still rember the look your mother gave you before she died?"
"She was thinking, I raised my son so well, what an obedient child he is, why did he kill ? Just how much hatred must he have to kill his own mother?"
"Shu Renjun, you are just trash, an ungrateful wretch. If there is a chain of contempt in Hell, you must be at the very bottom. Pull any random player, and the evil they did in life wouldn't amount to a ten-thousandth of yours."
"By the way, do you still rember..."
"The instructions and the look in your Dad's eyes before he died. Do you still rember his instructions?"
"He told your mother to raise you well, and he exhorted you to be filial to your mother when you grew up..."
"I fucking told you to shut up!" Shu Renjun's face twisted, his entire being erupting as countless Iron Chains shot out from his body towards Chen Ran.
"You got angry! You cultivate the True Self state of mind and the Unity of Man and Heaven, how could you possibly get angry? Admit it, you regretted it!" Chen Ran ignored the incoming Iron Chains and continued to output damage: "You had a mother who loved you so much, yet you killed her for so-called freedom; you were very smart and had a bright future, yet you ruined it. Coming down to Hell, suffering endless tornt, have you ever thought about what your Instance is after your death? Will you see your mother in your Instance, and how should you face her?"
"When a player gets matched into an Instance tailor-made for you by Hell, you will once again experience the process of killing your mother."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!!"
People who ca to Hell all had scenes they couldn't bear to look back on, but when this scene was seen through by an opponent, laid out in front of you, helping you recall that painful period, who could face it calmly?
It is said that onlookers see clearly, while those involved are blind.
But the onlookers are speaking from a state of absolute rationality. They are like aloof and cold gods, and to them, the event didn't happen to themselves.
Naturally, they can be absolutely impartial.
But for those involved, they know their own pain, struggles, reluctance, and attachnts within it...
Therefore, many tis, it is the onlookers who are blind, and those involved who see clearly.
Chen Ran: 'I told you, there's always a ti when being a novel author cos in handy. The story I fabricated here... One hundred points! One hundred points!'
Looking at the Iron Chains flying madly towards him.
'Bye-bye to you!'
The next mont, Chen Ran disappeared from the white World of the Heart, leaving only Shu Renjun, who was affected by the Superego, screaming hysterically.
But soon, Shu Renjun returned to normal.
He glanced at the spot where Chen Ran disappeared, an imperceptible sneer appearing on the corners of his mouth.
"My na is Shu Renjun, and my na is also Yang Qianfan. I am not a good person, and from beginning to end, I am a person guilty of the most heinous cris. How could anyone think of using a good person's standards to attack ?"
Obviously, Shu Renjun made a mistake this ti. He didn't expect Chen Ran's fabricated story to be so close to the truth, nor did he expect Chen Ran to be so shaless as to slip away so quickly.
However, Chen Ran knew that Hua Changsheng knew what happened in the Instance. The faster he ran, the more guilty he felt.
Then here ca the question.
Judging from the performance of the two, they both sold a flaw to each other.
Was this flaw really...
A true flaw?
Or a trap?
