Of course Angel would not think that a house of heart alone could allow Toby to defeat his extremely resentful thoughts.
However, the first priority now is to enable Toby to face his deep resentment.
Only by facing the bleak ending can we have the motivation to change the misery.
In reality, once Toby faces the thoughts of extreme resentment, it is equivalent to opening up the disaster of the five tastes. No one knows whether the disaster can be overcome. But in the house of the heart, facing the thoughts of extreme resentment, there is no such risk.
This can be considered a unique feature of the House of Heart.
…
When Cell came back to his senses from the silence, Angel and Froud had just finished discussing the issue of fighting the inner demons.
According to Angel's calculations, the experiment was over, and he had already understood what he should know. However, Angel did not leave immediately, but looked at Shalu, who still had a dazed look in his eyes.
"It seems that you haven't given a sufficient reason yet."
Shahlu made a request before, and he hoped to enter the House of Heart to try again in the future. Angel said at the time that if Shahlu could give a sufficient reason, he would not mind making an exception.
But so far, Shalu has not given a reason to convince Angel.
Shalu lowered his head and his voice became slightly deeper: "What I said before was what happened behind the third door. In fact, the first door and the second door, to me, are more important than the third door.
The door is more important."
Angel did not interrupt Shalu and motioned for him to continue.
"Next, I will tell a short story. It may not be interesting, but it is my experience and it is also related to the first two doors." Shahru paused and then began to talk.
Shalu lived in a small town called Kudo when he was a child. He had not seen his father since he was a child, and he lived with his mother and brother Lisa. Life in Kudo was the happiest time in his life.
Shahru's eyes were shining when he talked about life in Kudor Town. His mother was very kind to their brothers and allowed them to pursue their dreams freely. His brother Lisa's dream was to be an auditor; Shahru wanted to be a justice.
knight.
Shalu has been working hard for this dream since he was in trouble.
Lisa and Shalu spent a wonderful childhood until their mother died unexpectedly. Their sky instantly changed from bright and scorching sunshine to bleak and gloomy clouds.
Then, they were taken to live in Saint Syme City by their uncle who came from afar.
It was good at first. Although my aunt was often sarcastic, my uncle was more protective of them. But soon after, my uncle offended someone and was laid off from the company. In order to support the family, he finally ended up working as a gatekeeper.
From then on, the uncle drank and wandered decadently all day long and no longer cared about them. The aunt and her son began to torture them for six years.
Shahruh did not go into details about the past six years, but his eyes were full of anger and despair, and even faintly fearful. It can be seen that the torture of these six years was definitely not ordinary cynicism, there may have been beatings and scoldings, and even personality damage.
humiliation.
My uncle had actually known about their abuse for a long time, but he pretended not to know.
In those six years, Shalu and Lisa grew up from innocent children who were ignorant of pursuing dreams, to understanding the ways of the world, and to seeing through the cruelty of reality.
When Lisa was seventeen years old, she left her uncle's house with Salu and started life in a dilapidated wooden house in the forest. In order to support herself and Salu, Lisa gave up her studies and also gave up becoming an auditor.
The dream is to shepherd sheep in a manor to survive.
After leaving the nightmare of their uncle's house, they thought they could get a new life even though they gave up their dreams.
Unfortunately, this period only lasted three years.
A flash flood after a heavy rain washed away the wooden house they lived in and buried their future. When they opened their eyes again, they had been taken to the First Heart City by Froud.
At this point, Shalu finally got to the point.
"The first door is a wooden door. It was the door of my former home when I was a child. There are two patterns painted on it, a pony and a book. These two patterns were used by my brother and I when we were children.
It was painted with tree branches, and my mother beat our brothers because of this. However, we are still very happy, because those two patterns represent our dreams, the horse is the knight, and the book is the auditor."
When Shalu talked about the past, his eyes seemed to be shining with light. But when he talked about the second door, his eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
"The second door is the door of my uncle's house, where my brother and I have been living nightmares for six years."
With just one sentence, Shalu seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses and said, "The reason why I want to try again is because I want to open the first door and take a look."
After Shalu finished speaking, he looked at Angel expectantly.
Angel showed no expression and said in a very cold tone: "Then what?"
Obviously, Shalu's previous statement may have moved him, but it did not move Angel.
The reasons he gave were still insufficient in Angel's opinion.
Shalu was silent for a moment, with hesitation in his eyes.
Angel: "If that's all, I can't make an exception for you."
After hearing Angel's words, Shalu finally made up his mind. He slowly knelt down and when Angel raised his eyebrows, he lowered his head and stretched out his hands to cross and caress his chest.
Shahruh didn't say anything, but his actions said everything.
This is a knighthood. It means giving everything to me, my life, my future, and my glory.
Angel: "Get up, you are not a knight."
Shalu raised his head and said firmly: "I will become a knight."
Angel looked at Shalu quietly: "I don't need a knight."
Shalu's eyes remained firm, seemingly unaffected by Angel's words.
After a long pause, Angel said again: "Although I don't need knights, Chuxin City probably won't think there are too many knights."
A hint of joy flashed in Shalu's eyes.
"Of course, the premise is that you are qualified to become a knight. At least, you are not qualified now, so you should continue to return to the library to reflect."
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Salu's response, Angel directly asked Froud to cover Salu's eyes and ordered him to be taken back to the library.
After Shalu left, Froud looked at Angel: "Sir, I am still willing to give Shalu a chance."
Angel seems determined, but in fact he has no hope of killing Shahru. Just because he is not qualified now does not mean he will not be qualified in the future.
"The opportunity was not given by me." Angel said softly.
When Shalu performed the knighthood, Angel couldn't actually judge what Shalu was thinking at that time, but at least at that moment, his eyes were unwavering.
This look impressed Angel for a moment.
However, people's minds change. Everyone has a moment when they are determined to do something, but this determination never lasts long. It is either limited by the external environment or lack of perseverance. Therefore, Shalu was very determined at this moment and could not
It represents that the future is firm.
Because of this, Angel did not give a positive answer. However, his words did not contain any hope of killing Shalu.
But given the hope, it's up to Shalu whether he can seize the opportunity or not.
"After listening to Shalu's story, I understand him somewhat. It was the environment that shaped his perverse character." Froud said with emotion, "Sometimes people don't want to grow into something they hate, but they are born at the wrong time.
.”
Angel: "Lisa also experienced the same environment, but she did not go into self-exile."
Happy people are all similar, and unfortunate people have their own misfortunes. There are also people in the world who are more unfortunate than Shalu, such as the talented person Guina who Angel brought back from Hailan. All her limbs were cut off.
, the lips are also sewn shut, and it can be called a human stick.
But even so, Guina did not give up because of misfortune. She did many vicious things, but the determination in her eyes was something Angel had rarely seen before.
As far as Angel is concerned, if Cellul can really follow through on his beliefs, it won't hurt to give him a chance. But if it's just lip service, then it doesn't matter.
Life is meant to be controlled by yourself.
If you want to live the way you want, this is actually not a final destination, but a process of reaching the other side.
Since it is just a process, you will not give up just because the environment changes or time passes.
