Night’s Nomenclature Chapter 44: Looking directly at the pain

Burning illusion, boiling blood, thunderous heartbeat.

Qingchen seemed to feel that the world was roaring, and his life was burning together.

However, the burning sensation soon began to subside again. As he breathed, the flame lines on his and Li Shutong's cheeks were still there, but the air he breathed into his lungs turned into a comfortable breeze, no longer accompanied by pain!

Lin Xiaoxiao on the side suddenly reminded: "Keep your consciousness, the pain you have forgotten will soon sweep into your mind. All pain, remember it is all pain. At that moment you will start to collapse. If you can't survive this moment, Guan, no one can help."

Qingchen's heart trembled because the pain Lin Xiaoxiao said suddenly came into his mind:

When he lived alone for the first time, he cut his finger while trying to cook. At the moment of the cut, the blade slowly scratched across the skin, and even the touch of the fingerprints being cut was recalled.

During waterboarding, the icy water flowing in his lungs was like poisonous saplings, with cold roots stuck in his lungs.

In the dark room, the dryness of dehydration collided with the pain of water torture in the previous second.

And the sunset on the day my mother left.

And the other person’s back dragging the suitcase under the sunset.

All of this is sweeping across like a tidal wave, as if it is breaking the seaside cliff into rubble.

The dark waves, as fine as knives, emitted hollow whistling and wailing.

Qingchen seemed to have returned to the time of water torture and closed his eyes.

He fell into a void of darkness again.

There is a gentle voice calling from under the abyss: "Follow mother."

Qingchen replied: "I have walked such a long way by myself, and I will walk the rest of the way by myself."

As if time had only passed by a snap of a finger, he opened his eyes again.

No wonder Li Shutong said that if you can't survive that test, you won't be able to follow his path.

It turns out it was all for this moment.

Qingchen’s breath was like a ball of fire.

That ball of fire seemed to burn away the past in an instant. From then on, he understood his choice and no longer needed to feel sorry for himself or look back.

The rest of my life is a road ahead.

The expressions of Ye Wan and Lin Xiaoxiao beside them also changed. They stood up straight and looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Qingchen to still be awake.

They have also experienced this kind of pain. When the pain comes together, they know very well what it feels like when their hearts begin to collapse.

Only those who have looked directly at every pain can cross the abyss of 'questioning the heart', separate their past and future, and move forward.

Lin Xiaoxiao murmured: "Perhaps Qingchen has a photographic memory, so he has never forgotten those pains..."

The human brain has a protective mechanism that will allow you to deliberately forget something, thereby allowing you to live a better life.

However, the super-memory state gave Qingchen extraordinary talents, but also gave him endless pain.

He has long been accustomed to the pain of reviewing every year.

Qingchen has never been the darling of the greenhouse. He has been a believer in pain a long time ago.

Moreover, he has already stepped into that abyss.

Li Shutong slowly released his palm and said with emotion: "This level is smoother than I imagined."

For some reason, when he realized what was going on, he began to feel a little sorry for the young man in front of him.

No one knows what the other person’s life is like, and what the other person is burdened with while enjoying their talents.

The flame marks on Qingchen's cheeks began to fade, and he asked: "What is the purpose of this breathing technique?"

The reason why he asked this was because he did not feel any obvious changes in his body.

I just feel refreshed and relaxed, and the weakness caused by fasting for four days is quickly fading away.

"It's just an auxiliary method," Li Shutong said: "The breathing technique is the difference in breathing frequency. You can't use it alone now. After I take you a few more times, you will remember its rhythm."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Shutong saw Qingchen sitting cross-legged across from him. The flame lines on his face no longer faded, but spread again!

For the first time, he smiled bitterly and said: "I forgot that you can enter the super memory state, you can just write down this breathing rhythm."

I have to say that Li Shutong is really helpless now. He had to be taught by the teacher more than forty times before he could barely remember the breathing rate. There is no way he could be wrong at all.

But the boy in front of me can do it once.

Li Shutong turned to say: "Since I don't need to take care of this, let me tell you about the inheritance of knights directly. As for the role of breathing, we can talk about it later."

"At the beginning of the Knights organization, it was the founder who discovered the secret of the gene lock."

"According to his conclusion, when humans complete the eight life and death stages, the genetic lock will open on its own."

Li Shutong continued: "In the earliest days, you could only be considered a qualified knight by completing these eight life and death tests. The genetic lock was unlocked and you were extraordinary."

"There were still many knights at that time. They followed mankind through the era of cataclysm and created a new era of civilization with the surviving humans."

"But later there were fewer and fewer knights, not because there were no suitable candidates, but because there was a life and death test that had to be completed in the sea, but the entire sea became a forbidden place. It used to be a narrow escape, but now it has become Ten deaths and no life."

"Without a life-and-death barrier, the genetic shackles will naturally not be opened."

"But Qin Sheng, the new leader of the knights at that time, was also extremely talented. He created a new breathing technique to assist. His successors actually discovered that by supplementing the breathing technique during the challenge, he could unlock a little gene every time he completed a life and death level. Lock, you no longer have to complete everything before opening it."

"Although a knight who has only completed one life-and-death test is not as powerful as a knight who has completed eight life-and-death tests, when everyone completes the sixth one, their strength will completely surpass that of the older generation of knights."

"If divided according to the levels of the inner world, there are six levels ABCDEF, and those who complete the sixth item are A-level."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the extraordinary beings in this world were divided into different levels of strength. ~IndoMTL.com~ He suddenly asked: "Teacher, what is your level?"

Ye Wan said from the side: "The boss is S-level."

Because Li Shutong has completed the seventh life and death test and is only missing the last one.

"But what's so magical about this breathing technique that it can help open the gene lock?" Qingchen asked.

He was excited at this time because he had touched the door to the new world, but he was still a little confused.

"You should know about endorphins," Li Shutong said.

Although Qingchen has a photographic memory, he has never paid attention to this area before. He could only rely on the information in his memory and said: "It is the same secretion that gives people happiness like dopamine, but there is a difference: playing games What you get when you win the lottery or gamble is dopamine, while the pleasure and relaxation after exercise are given by endorphins."

Li Shutong shook his head: "Chicken Soup for the Soul says so, but dopamine does not directly make people happy. It is just a neurotransmitter responsible for transporting 5-hydroxytryptamine-like substances that can make people happy. But in layman's terms, dopamine gives happiness That’s true, but one thing you have to understand is that it does not give you happiness, but an addictive desire.”

"What about endorphins?" Qingchen asked.

"Endorphin is a substance that is bitter at first and then sweet. It binds to the morphine receptors in the body and can play an analgesic effect, but this is only the most basic function." Li Shutong said: "The ancestor Qin Sheng did a very strict test and found that when the knights complete a certain life and death level, a large amount of endorphins will be secreted in the body."

"So he believes that dopamine is the poison that makes people addicted, while endorphins are the key to unlocking genes."

"So there is a new creed in the Knights organization: Only those who have experienced a painful life are more advanced."
