Chapter 637 - 186: Messiah_3
"But I soon realized, so what? Even if I can’t use violence, I can indirectly control violence..."
"Information is money! Money is power!"
"As long as I have money, there will be people willing to use violence for me."
Wen Xishu grew impatient:
"Get to the point."
Sakai Shinichi immediately responded:
"Until I met Akiyama Sachi! At first, I just thought, as the daughter of Akiyama Rika, her genes must be good..."
"But even so, it’s not necessarily worth adopting her. But the moment I heard her voice... I felt I really wanted to bully her."
"After meeting Akiyama Sachi, I couldn’t help but want to beat her, whip her. I wanted to make her suffer, to see her tortured face!"
"You... don’t you have this desire? I always thought this wasn’t just my thought, but everyone’s thought."
"I have done experiments, more than once, everyone locked up with her for less than three hours would develop the desire to make her feel pain."
"The most... what excited me the most, sorry... what surprised me the most, is that this world doesn’t allow me to hurt others, but it allows me to hurt her!"
"Only in front of her, I can exert violence, I can freely bring her pain!"
"So... Akiyama Sachi is a person cursed by the entire world, hated by the entire world!"
"She is, in the truest sense, an outcast."
...
...
On the other side of the hotel room.
Akiyama Sachi said:
"I don’t know why, but everyone seems to be hostile to me, not the restrained kind of hostility, but the kind wanting to be unleashed on me..."
"Do you... do you feel that way?"
Wenren Mirror shook his head:
"I won’t hurt you."
Akiyama Sachi’s tears fell.
For a long time, she felt she didn’t deserve happiness, partly because of her tragic past, and partly because of the twisted logic of curator Sakai Shinichi.
But more than that...
It was because she couldn’t even receive kindness from strangers.
At this moment, both Wenren Mirror and Wen Xishu realized this.
That’s why...
Even though Morioka Hitomi just expressed kindness, just chatted with Akiyama Sachi... That’s why Akiyama Sachi could trust Morioka Hitomi so much.
Because in Akiyama Sachi’s world... the "Sachi" in her name seemed like something she could absolutely never attain. She was a girl tangled by misfortune and pain.
In her bleak life, the kindness expressed by Morioka Hitomi was something she hadn’t encountered ever since her mother died.
Wenren Mirror and Wen Xishu exchanged a glance.
Wen Xishu knew very well, there’s no one cursed by this world, there are only those with aptitude.
Those with aptitude often possess some kind of sequence.
And a sequence, while it may have negative effects, must also have stronger positive effects.
Just like Morioka Hitomi, he absorbs others’ misfortune, turning himself into a monster, but correspondingly, he can truly change someone’s fate.
Then what about the apt one, Akiyama Sachi?
She collects pain continuously, lives a life of perpetual rejection, all of which is the negative effect, so what is the positive effect?
At this moment, Wen Xishu suddenly had a terrifying guess.
The birth of Pain Currency, the existence of the Pain Auction... perhaps it wasn’t because of the rule of obsession...
But was truly, the explosion of some kind of sequence power. Human Holes are certainly terrifying, drawing power from misfortune is indeed miraculous...
But maybe in this mission, the strongest one with aptitude is not Morioka Hitomi at all.
Wen Xishu suddenly laughed:
"Xiaoxing, you were never an unfortunate person, pain and misfortune... are merely the nutrients for your growth."
"You are the one truly qualified to overturn the world."
