The conducting aura can act on itself or on others.

[Conduction I] can only produce an increase of 1.1 times, which is a bit poor, but better than nothing.

As for its function, it is reflected in deepening the understanding of the eighteen realms.

What are the Eighteen Realms?

Six roots.

The six dusts.

The six senses.

Lin Rui continued to gently stroke the black and white piano keys, his mind flashing through some of the pieces he had bought, before finally choosing one.

—Asphyxia.

"This piece of music is called Suffocation."

Is he suffocating?

Zhong Sixin thought to herself.

As the clear piano music began, Zhong Sixin suddenly felt as if she were there, as if a pair of soft little hands were gently brushing across her forehead.

She was unaware that this sense of immersion came from the conductive halo; she simply admired Lin Rui's skill on the piano.

Slightly melancholic piano music lingered in her ears, and her thoughts gradually drifted back to when she was three years old, standing in front of her father's funeral hall, listening to her grandparents and mother wailing.

Soon, her thoughts drifted back to the rainy night before her grandfather passed away, his hand trembling as he held hers tightly, filled with reluctance.

The illness made her already battered and broken body even worse. When her withered right hand quietly fell, she saw the smile on her grandfather's face—a smile of relief.

Zhong Sixin tried to wake her grandfather, but the scene shifted to the night when she was fifteen.

Zhong Sixin saw the sorrow on her grandmother's face as she approached her end, and the hesitation in her eyes when she looked at her.

She sensed that her grandmother didn't want to leave like this, because she couldn't bear to leave her helpless granddaughter.

Unfortunately, the idea that "man can conquer nature" is just a beautiful lie. Heaven wanted to take away her little remaining time, and she was powerless to resist. But she didn't want her granddaughter to see her close her eyes and leave this world.

She had to support her already aching body and stagger away from the old house, not wanting to collapse there and leave this clean little home shrouded in gloom.

But she could never let go of her granddaughter whom she had raised for so many years. She wanted to see her granddaughter holding her college acceptance letter, and she wanted to see her granddaughter walk down the aisle.

Unfortunately, despite all the regrets, nothing can overcome the pain of separation by death.

She looked at her granddaughter behind the door, and at that moment, she smiled.

My child, may everything be well for you in the future.

"grandmother…"

Zhong Sixin uttered unconscious murmurs. She finally understood the smile; it was a blessing.

She cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Lin Rui continued to play the piano lightly. He was also somewhat surprised that the conduction halo had actually put Zhong Sixin into a hypnotic state.

While it cannot be denied that both piano technique and the music played played a part, the effect still surprised Lin Rui.

It's important to understand that this is only the first stage of transmission!

"Don't go..."

"grandfather…"

"dad…"

"grandmother…"

Zhong Sixin occasionally uttered unconscious murmurs. Lin Rui was unsure whether this seemingly strong but actually fragile and pitiful girl had found the answer she was looking for, but he did not intend to continue.

The function of the conduction halo is still unclear, and to avoid any undesirable side effects, he must reassure it as soon as possible.

Some things cannot be accomplished overnight by taking things for granted, otherwise they will inevitably backfire. This is a psychological issue, and what it needs is healing, not depression.

Lin Rui's eyes flashed, and the rhythm of his fingertips suddenly changed.
