Metaphysics grandmaster Wen Wan unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of an infamous female celebrity in the entertainment industry.
To make a living, she was forced to participate in a su...
"Ah?" Qiao Tianrui knew his imagination was just that. His face immediately fell in disappointment, and he asked sullenly, "So... there's nothing, right?"
Wen Wan shrugged helplessly, then explained carefully, "The underworld does have a Book of Life and Death, but I don't have the authority to read it. As for the magic weapon you mentioned that can reveal the secrets of heaven... I really don't have that."
"If I had a magic weapon like this, why would I still be working in the entertainment industry? I could just reveal the secrets of the universe to those wealthy people and tell them their fate in this life. Wouldn't I just sit back and make a fortune?"
Qiao Tianrui couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out that "getting rich quickly" was everyone's wish.
He thought about it carefully, then asked curiously, "With your ability, can't you predict other people's fate?"
Wen Wan pondered and said, "Well...it's not that I can't predict it, but I might not be able to predict it accurately or completely. I can predict the direction of the big things, but I can't calculate the small details of the branches, and the accuracy is not 100%."
Qiao Tianrui nodded thoughtfully, "I understand."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Then how did you know Fang Cheng's weakness? Did you calculate it?"
"That's not the case. Even fortune-telling can't be so detailed!" Wen Wan denied it decisively.
Then he explained carefully to him, "Our sect has a secret technique that is not passed on to others. It can invade another person's mind and read their memory. However, it is quite difficult to perform and the requirements for the person being cast are also high."
"For example, if you use it on someone who is very determined, it will be difficult for them to succeed. But if you use it on someone who is not determined and is confused, it will be easier for them to succeed."
"When people are extremely frightened, their consciousness is tense and their mental defenses are weak, so I just took the opportunity to cast a spell on him. I didn't expect it to actually work!"
Qiao Tianrui nodded in sudden realization, "Oh~ I was wondering why you hadn't been seen for a while, it turns out you were busy with this."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't contain his curiosity and asked anxiously, "So...so what is Fang Cheng's weakness?"
Wen Wan crossed her arms across her chest, a mysterious smile curled up at the corners of her lips, and she softly uttered four words, "Original family."
Then he summarized Fang Cheng's story and told Qiao Tianrui everything in short.
Qiao Tianrui's expression instantly became subtle after hearing this. He had indeed thought about how Fang Cheng developed this kind of personality before. Although he had long thought that it might be his original family, after getting the definite answer...
His thoughts suddenly became conflicted, and he felt that Fang Cheng was both pitiful and hateful.
People with antisocial personalities who commit all kinds of evil usually suffer from severe psychological trauma when they are young. The more they lack something, the more they want it.
For example, Fang Cheng, his outward personality is arrogant and extremely confident, but he is extremely inferior on the inside. He is unwilling to face his inferiority, so he always uses self-confidence to cover it up.
His usual style of doing things is to be the only one who does it and not allow anyone to escape from his control. His desire for control is even abnormal, but this also shows that he may have been controlled by others frequently in the past.
Because he has been controlled and hurt, he feels that in a relationship, the only way to avoid being hurt is to transform himself into the controller who controls others.
Of course, not everyone with psychological trauma will eventually become this kind of person. There are also many people in the world who lick their wounds silently and hate the people and behaviors that have hurt them.
Because they have been hurt, they don't want others to be hurt again. They will do their best to "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you" and will never turn around and become the perpetrator.
So many times, what kind of person you will become depends on your one thought.
Wen Wan glanced to her side and when she saw Qiao Tianrui's subtle expression, she immediately understood what he was thinking.
So she decisively spoke out and pointed out, "I know you must be very conflicted right now, but I hope you can understand that his being pitiful does not conflict with his being hateful, and his being pitiful does not conflict with your desire for revenge."
"So you really don't need to worry about whether you should seek revenge on him because he was so pitiful as a child. He was severely hurt by others, but that doesn't give him a reason to hurt you with a clear conscience. These are two completely different things!"
"For example, there's a poor kid whose parents were killed by bandits. He grows up and kills the bandits to avenge them, but then he turns around and becomes a bandit himself, killing other people's parents."
"The reason is simply because I don't have parents anymore and I'm extremely miserable, so you're not allowed to have them either. You have to suffer too, even more than I do, only then will I be happy."
Her metaphor was very vivid, and Qiao Tianrui immediately got out of his dilemma after hearing it.
He nodded solemnly and said seriously, "I understand! I... won't let him go!"
