The less you think, the better your attitude
Ji Yunding rested for a night and decided to take action immediately the next day.
At present, I just saw hope, so I relaxed. First of all, I need to study the oath carefully. Before, I always thought about doing it step by step, so I put the matter of understanding the oath aside.
After all, even if you don't understand oaths, as long as you can abide by them, there won't be any problems. In addition, individual differences are huge, so learning theories is actually not that important.
"Something happened in the alternate dimension, and the boss went there temporarily." Ji Changsheng sat in Ji Liuxing's office and raised his hand to greet him. "He told me that there is a high probability that you will come over, so he asked me to help you explain some basics."
"Can the team leader also calculate the sky?"
"Probably not, he just has a good brain. But thinking too much is painful. I prefer to follow other people's orders."
Ji Changsheng rubbed his hair and sighed.
“So, instead of ‘what am I going to tell you’, let’s start with ‘what do you want to know’.”
Ji Yunding found a chair, sat upright, and then spoke seriously: "Please tell me how to use the oath, and some basic knowledge of the oath."
In fact, Ji Yunding had always lagged behind in basic knowledge - after all, she was only a sophomore at the start of the school year, and the internal chats in the group would not discuss very basic content.
"This? There are huge differences among the individual oath warlocks. However, those who are more inclined to the dark oath are mostly driven by emotions. As long as they have complete control over themselves, they will be fine."
Having said that, Ji Changsheng stood up and pushed the chair he was sitting on in front of Ji Yunding.
“Like, try to get angry about it.”
Ji Yunding and the chair looked at each other for a while, then looked up at Ji Changsheng: "Why?"
Totally incomprehensible.
"Because you want to."
"But I don't want to. Why?"
Ji Yunding felt confused because the training content was too inexplicable.
"That's the problem. You need to use your abilities on this chair, but you can't mobilize your emotions. In other words, your emotions are out of control of your reason.
People in civilized society generally believe that as long as reason can suppress emotions, it is considered "controlling emotions", but for us, the so-called "control" includes both restraint and release. For example..."
But in a moment, Ji Yunding saw that Ji Changsheng's eyes were filled with tears, and they flowed down from the corners of his eyes after he blinked. After taking a deep breath and wiping his eyes, he smiled as if nothing had happened.
“Like this.”
Ji Yunding thought about it, stared at the chair for a while, and shook his head in disappointment.
Ji Yunding was not an emotional person, so it was a bit too much to ask her to do such a thing. She didn't even know where to start.
"That's a little easier. Is there anyone you hate?"
"have."
Ji Yunding answered quickly. If there was a chance, she really wanted to go to the dungeon and beat Ruguilu up.
But since they have already begun to suspect whether she is a Blacksworn Warlock, it is better not to take the risk for the time being.
"Why don't you try to imagine this chair as him?"
"Why? This chair isn't his."
The irrelevant conversation made the two men look at each other in confusion. Finally, Ji Changsheng walked back and forth with a headache. Ji Yunding didn't know what to do, so he stood up and walked back and forth as well.
Two people were walking around the office for no apparent reason, and the scene was so awkward it was a little funny.
"Don't make it difficult for me. I don't like to use my brain... Can you tell me what to do?"
Ji Changsheng sighed, and Ji Yunding tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"Or else, can you tell me how you trained in the first place?"
"Although everyone needs to practice controlling their emotions, the abilities of each family require different emotional control, and the intensity of training is also different. Most of them are the training methods I just told you. In our family..."
Ji Changsheng paused and scratched his head.
"It seems inappropriate to tell you this. The boss said that the civilized world would not accept what happened to our family, so he asked me to say less."
"It's okay. I have some idea about it. It's a lawless place that uses child labor and doesn't enforce compulsory education."
In Ji Yunding's understanding, the aristocratic family is a twisted and helpless product of a cycle. In addition to the ability to surpass ordinary people, it also has a heavy responsibility and destiny that are passed down from generation to generation.
To end all this, it is not something that can be simply resolved by discussing "right and wrong". Just like Ji Yunding's entanglement with his own identity - if the fundamental problem is not resolved, nothing can be changed.
"That's right. After all, you are already a member of the group. We use coercion to quickly solidify emotions. We start training from a young age. Children have big emotional ups and downs, so they are easy to train.
For example, if he can't learn, you beat him up, and then blame the object for his beating. Over time, those who learn will learn."
Ji Yunding always felt that this statement seemed a little subtle. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but ask, "Then, what about those who haven't learned it?"
"I don't know. I don't even remember other people's faces. If you really want to know, you have to ask the boss. But this method won't work on you anyway. You're an adult. Other methods... Oh, Lin Shu mentioned before that her method seems to be memory."
"memory?"
"Yes, remember those strong emotions and project them onto other objects. I don't quite understand it, but this method seems to lead to the habitual repetition of certain bad memories."
At this point, Ji Changsheng looked a little worried, and couldn't help but say one more thing.
"Lin Shu's fear of others' death and her own mistakes is getting worse and worse. If this continues, she will never be able to go on a mission again. If something breaks during a mission..."
Ji Yunding understood this matter to some extent, but he always felt that he could not think of any good solution.
The essence of this matter is that Lin Shu herself won't let herself go, so we can only wait for her to figure it out herself, otherwise no one's advice will be of any use.
"However, if the hatred is strong enough..."
Ji Yunding closed his eyes and recalled the pure murderous intent and malice in his heart when he stood outside the prison.
It can be mobilized, although not as drastic as it was then.
Ji Changsheng shuddered instinctively, took two steps back, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a terrifying oath ability... No wonder the boss said you have a chance to defeat him."
"Didn't the team leader say that to everyone?" Ji Yunding calmed down and regained his composure, tilting his head, "I thought it was just a polite remark."
After all, Ji Liuxing says nice things to fool people every day.
"No wonder you think so... I don't know him that well either. I just joined the reorganization and left the family because I found out when I was a kid that good things would happen if I trusted him. But from what I know, he basically only tells lies about himself."
Ji Changsheng scratched his head, thought for a moment, and turned the topic back on track.
"Let's talk about emotions. The abilities of the Darksworn Warlock are random and are related to the emotions you use. Generally speaking, there are two aspects: negative emotions and positive emotions.
In general, anger is destructive, fear is restrictive, sadness is controlling; excitement and excitement tend to change physical energy, happiness and joy tend to change spiritual energy... But considering the uniqueness of the oath, it is up to you to consider the specifics. "
Ji Yunding nodded and thought about it. It seemed that this rule was indeed followed.
"But if you use it too much, won't you lose track of which emotions are your own?"
"Of course. All abilities have side effects. Based on the abilities you report, the logistics team will help you choose some tools to deal with the side effects. So, if it is convenient, it is best not to hide your abilities."
Only then did Ji Yunding realize why earplugs were always included in his standard rations - it was probably because she had received hearing enhancement, and these were specifically to help her cope with noisy environments or possible sound attacks.
"So, you have to fully master your emotions, and learn to distinguish your own emotions. There are huge differences among individuals in the practice of oath warlocks. If you have any questions, you can always ask people in the group."
Ji Changsheng made a summary, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, am I clear?"
When Ji Changsheng was a child, he had an operation to cut off his pain nerves, which injured his brain. So sometimes his thinking would be confused, and he was not sure if he had said anything incoherent and difficult to understand.
Because he knew that there were abnormalities in his thinking but was unable to distinguish them on his own, Ji Changsheng was accustomed to trusting others and acting according to their instructions.
Ji Yunding nodded and thanked him. Ji Changsheng thought for a moment and looked at Ji Yunding: "I heard that your brain is also very useful, right?"
"It should be OK. At least it hasn't caused me any trouble."
Ji Yunding thought about it and gave a relatively objective evaluation.
"Next time I go into a fixed ghost story, can I trust your orders as well?"
Ji Changsheng asked seriously,
"I can't trust my own thinking, but Lin Shu has been under too much pressure recently. The boss is restricted in the fixed ghost story and can't speak freely. Sister Qianqiu may not be able to take care of me alone. If necessary, I may need your orders."
Ji Changsheng couldn't even imagine how bad her condition would be if she died because of Lin Shu's order. Therefore, he absolutely couldn't ask her for an order.
Ji Yunding was not frightened. She knew Ji Changsheng's situation, so she had no objection to this reasonable request. She just thought about it and then said, "I can't guarantee that I can make the right decision."
"It doesn't matter. No one in the world can guarantee that they are right. As long as you agree, I can tell you my oath ability."
Oath ability?
"...Wouldn't you be afraid if you completely trusted someone?" Ji Yunding couldn't help but ask. To her, Ji Changsheng's behavior was really hard to understand.
Others are like the moon, always changing. You can admire them, enjoy their silver glow and tranquility for a moment, but you cannot trust them.
Ji Yunding has always thought so.
"It was a little bit in the beginning, but I found that as long as I was prepared to bear the consequences, I wouldn't be afraid." Ji Changsheng looked accustomed to it, "Even if you or Sister Qianqiu really asked me to die, I can accept it. So, don't feel pressured."
“…It’s hard to understand.”
"It's hard to understand, but trust is blind. If it's not blind, it's not trust."
Ji Changsheng was not surprised at Ji Yunding's reaction - investigators are used to thinking in a logical way, and it is inevitable that they find it difficult to accept things that transcend logic.
"If you are sure that something will happen, then this can only be called 'cognition', not trust. What I understand by trust is that it may not be reliable, but I just believe it. I want to believe it even if I have no reason."
There is no reason to believe it.
Ji Yunding had never considered this idea before. He was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded: "I can only promise that I will try my best. If you can accept it, you can trust me."
"Great." Ji Changsheng laughed, obviously very happy, "My ability is to establish sensory connections with others with their consent - vision, hearing, touch, smell. You can choose two of the four, and can connect up to three people at the same time. It takes half an hour to switch the connection.
Please note that the sense of touch is linked to the sense of pain. I have no sense of pain, but you will still feel pain.
In addition, I can also force my feelings to be transmitted to others. This function can be used twice a day. Generally speaking, it can make the other party faint from the pain. "
This ability was built entirely for multiplayer missions. In fact, Ji Changsheng had also been issuing multiplayer missions.
Faced with the ability description that was so detailed that it was almost like a manual, Ji Yunding was a little confused: "Aren't the abilities of the oath warlocks a secret? How about I sign a blood contract or something..."
"No, my oath is that if I decide to trust this person after more than three months of consideration, I must have absolute trust in him. If you sign this, I will break my oath."
"…What a terrible oath."
Ji Yunding finally understood the individual differences among oath-taking sorcerers at this moment. If she were asked to keep this oath, she would probably break it easily. Or she would be completely unable to trust anyone, which would make the oath almost powerless.
"Indeed, everyone says so. But, in fact, I just wanted to believe something at first. It's also good luck. If it wasn't a group, I would have died quickly."
Ji Changsheng nodded, then said with a smile,
"Trusting others is a very dangerous, but very happy thing. By the way, my psychological test score raised the average score of the entire group."
"Very happy?"
“How should I put it? Living alone is like walking on a tightrope, but if you can trust others, you’ll have a place to rest.”
Ji Changsheng chose his words carefully and said seriously,
"Everyone in Group 1 is very capable. The more capable a person is, the more they feel that they are the only reliable one, and the less accustomed they are to trusting others. Therefore, the leader of our group must be overwhelmingly the strongest, otherwise, this group full of freaks will fall apart in an instant."
Ji Yunding nodded. This was also the reason why Wei Qianqiu felt pressured before - she was strong, but still far from "overwhelming".
"So, now that I trust you, I believe what you say, you can beat the boss."
Hearing Ji Changsheng say this, Ji Yunding tilted his head, a little curious: "You also trust the team leader, right? What if he says he won't be defeated by me, what will you do?"
"There is no conflict. Whether I trust you or not has no effect on the result. It's just my subjective opinion. It's like you can like apples and watermelons at the same time."
Open-minded, worthy of the highest score in a set of mental health tests.
