Demons are born from human desire and greed. The stronger the desire and greed, the more powerful the demon born. It has nothing to do with cultivation.
Once a demon is born, it devours human reason, turning people into puppets driven by it. It inverts priorities, becoming tyrannical and greedy, while also enhancing certain human abilities.
For example, before, Wang Chendong, a middle-aged man, could drag the strong Liu Nanfeng out of the elevator with one hand. This indicates Wang Chendong's immense strength, which is not very reasonable.
In the memory recall, with each act of violence by Wang Chendong, the monster behind him grew stronger and taller.
Wang Chendong was simply sick, constantly suspicious and paranoid.
If his wife spoke to someone, even if she just glanced at them, he would overthink it and beat Liu Hongyan severely.
He didn't just torment Liu Hongyan physically.
He also tormented and controlled her verbally and mentally.
Liu Nanfeng, as an observer, gritted his teeth in hatred, wanting to rush forward and fight, but Liu Hongyan silently endured everything.
This was because her personality and will had been completely destroyed by Wang Chendong.
It had to be said that although Wang Chendong had mental problems, his intelligence was definitely not low.
From the beginning, his marriage to Liu Hongyan was for a specific purpose.
He himself had a low level of education, admired scholars, and had a timid and gentle personality.
People like this, through constant brainwashing, are the easiest to control. This is what we commonly call PUA, and Wang Chendong was definitely a master of PUA.
Unknowingly, Liu Hongyan completely lost herself and became Wang Chendong's possession.
"What do those records on your phone mean? You want to leave me, don't you? Am I not good to you? Why are you doing this to me?"
"No? Then where did these records come from, tell me? Why were you searching for this?"
Another round of beatings ensued. Liu Hongyan lay on the ground, covered in injuries, but she didn't groan. Her eyes were like dead ashes, devoid of life.
"You're not talking? You're not talking? You're using this method to express your dissatisfaction? To resist me?"
Wang Chendong pulled out his belt and whipped her again until he was out of breath. Then, he suddenly calmed down.
He quickly carried Liu Hongyan to the sofa.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not human, I'm not human, I really can't control myself..."
"It's because I love you too much, I care about you too much, that's why I..."
Wang Chendong knelt before Liu Hongyan, hitting himself, his face full of remorse and repentance.
He buried his head in Liu Hongyan's hands, as if he truly knew he was wrong.
But Liu Hongyan's eyes were vacant. She had experienced such apologies countless times, yet nothing had changed.
"You slut, I'm talking to you, are you dead?"
At this moment, Wang Chendong, who was apologizing with a sad expression, suddenly became furious and slapped Liu Hongyan, who was sitting on the sofa, to the ground.
Liu Hongyan completely lost consciousness and fainted.
Wang Chendong immediately became nervous and flustered again.
The power of the human demon, born from Wang Chendong's desires, grew stronger again.
This is the terror of human demons; as long as their desires are endless, they can continue to grow.
Liu Nanfeng no longer hesitated. A scroll appeared in the air and was cast directly over the human demon.
The human demon seemed to sense danger and struggled in terror, wanting to escape. This caught Liu Nanfeng by surprise.
When he had "sealed" the butterfly demon before, it was effortless, without any resistance, which made him think "sealing" was a simple matter.
As the human demon escaped, Liu Nanfeng also retreated from the memory recall, finding them still standing at the elevator entrance.
And Wang Chendong was reaching out to grab his collar.
Liu Nanfeng, of course, would not stand idly by. He immediately reached out to block and dodged to the side.
At this moment, Liu Nanfeng also noticed that [Guan Shan Hai] was floating in the air, the huge scroll almost filling the entire corridor.
Seeing no escape, the human demon directly possessed Wang Chendong.
Wang Chendong's eyes turned crimson, and his scholarly face became fierce and tyrannical. He directly reached out to choke Liu Nanfeng.
His speed and strength were so great that Liu Nanfeng had no way to avoid it and was directly pinned against the wall behind him.
Liu Nanfeng kicked the opponent in the chest, making a "bang" sound. However, the opponent didn't budge. The strength in his hands actually increased. Liu Nanfeng felt a sense of panic.
Just then, the scroll floating in the air, like a nimble snake, wrapped around Wang Chendong.
Wang Chendong immediately felt as if he were being held tightly in a giant hand. All his bones seemed to be creaking. He let go of Liu Nanfeng and fell to the ground.
Liu Nanfeng bent over and coughed loudly, gasping for breath, his chest burning as if on fire.
Wang Chendong could not see or touch the scroll. He only felt something on him and reached out to tear it off, but he was only tearing his own clothes. Fortunately, the scroll detached from him, otherwise, he would have been strangled to death.
The reason the scroll detached from him was that the human demon that had hidden inside his body was directly pulled out and "sealed" within the scroll.
Liu Nanfeng, now calm, glanced over.
He saw that the human demon was sealed in a volcano. The scorching lava continuously dragged him down. He roared at the sky, letting out silent wails.
At this moment, Wang Chendong, seeing that the restraint on him was gone, flipped over and got up, swinging his palm at Liu Nanfeng again.
Liu Nanfeng was startled and quickly raised his arm to block. He knew Wang Chendong's strength was immense, and if this palm strike landed, he would at least be unable to recover for a long time, let alone pass out.
However, when Wang Chendong's palm hit Liu Nanfeng's arm, Liu Nanfeng immediately sensed something was wrong.
Because the strength was too small, his arm didn't even feel any pain. Although he was surprised, his hand movements didn't stop, and he kicked again.
This time, Wang Chendong was directly kicked down by him, lying on the ground and moaning in pain, unable to get up for a long time.
Liu Nanfeng suddenly realized that Wang Chendong's previous strength all came from the human demon's enhancement. After the human demon was "sealed," his strength naturally disappeared.
Name: Wang Chendong
Race: Human Demon
Cultivation: Twenty-seven years
Identity: Person consumed by desire, manifestation of inner demon, cruel and suspicious.
Previous Cause: Triggered.
Abilities: Suspicious, Great Strength, Absolute Suppression (If I call you wife, would you dare to answer? )
Note: Human demons are formed from desire. Entering the scroll like a rootless duckweed, they can be refined.
Refine?
A new ability had appeared, surprising Liu Nanfeng.
However, Liu Nanfeng did not choose to refine it immediately. He glanced at Wang Chendong, who was still lying on the ground and moaning, picked up the milk tea that had fallen on the ground, and got into the elevator that had just arrived.
Fortunately, there were more people going up than down at this time, so there was no one in the elevator. Otherwise, seeing Wang Chendong lying on the ground would have caused trouble.
He went downstairs, put the milk tea back into the insulated box, and left on his electric scooter, returning to the riverside and finding a place to stop.
Then he took out his phone, opened the camera, and looked. Indeed, there was a deep ligature mark on his neck.
He couldn't help but frown. How would he explain this to "Su Jinxiu" when he got back?
However, he had almost died just now, and that feeling of suffocation still made him tremble.
Indeed, he was too reckless. How could demons or monsters be so easy to "collect"?
The process of "sealing" the butterfly demon was simple, which gave him an illusion that "sealing" demons was generally simple. It immediately taught him a profound lesson.
Liu Nanfeng took a deep breath and summoned the scroll again.
The [Guan Shan Hai] slowly unfolded before him, giving an incredibly shocking impression.
A small area of the scroll, previously obscured by mist, dispersed again, revealing the scenery behind it: a volcano in eruption, billowing smoke, and overflowing lava.
And the human demon was trapped in the volcano, half of its body submerged in the lava, emitting desperate wails and struggling desperately, but to no avail.
"But how do I refine it?" Liu Nanfeng wondered.
Just then, the text next to the human demon on the scroll immediately changed. It turned out that everything was controlled by his thoughts.
Refine: Can obtain a random ability.
Suspicious: Because of suspicion, it is meticulous and can trace clues.
Great Strength: Strengthened by anger, capable of sustained output against female beings, doubling strength.
Absolute Suppression: Generated by absolute control over his wife, Absolute Suppression. If I call you wife, and you dare to answer, you will be absolutely suppressed.
All three abilities were quite good, and Liu Nanfeng wanted them all.
Especially the last ability. If he encountered demons or monsters in the future, regardless of gender, he would call them wife first, without asking questions.
As long as the other party dared to answer, the risk would be reduced to the lowest level.
But he had no choice; it was a random one out of three abilities. But how to refine it?
Burn it with fire?
As soon as Liu Nanfeng thought of this, the lava in the scroll suddenly surged upwards, engulfing the human demon.
Immediately, countless wisps of steam began to rise from the lava.
And within the steam, scenes flashed by.
It was Wang Chendong returning home, leaning weakly on the sofa and moaning, while still scolding his wife.
Liu Nanfeng suddenly had a revelation. The refinement of this human demon was the day of Wang Chendong's death.
Because they were one, their fates were linked. They shared losses and gains.
Liu Nanfeng stared blankly for a long time, but there was no sign of refinement. In the end, he could only helplessly put away the scroll and go home.
"Su Jinxiu" had not returned yet, and the house was empty.
Liu Nanfeng took a bath first. He was covered in sweat, and he couldn't not shower.
Looking in the mirror again at his neck, he didn't know if it was because his physique had improved or because of the passage of time, but the ligature mark on his neck seemed to have faded a bit.
After showering, he opened the refrigerator and found it indeed packed full.
He took out a bottle of cold drink and took a big gulp, then went to the study.
Although the house wasn't very large, Liu Nanfeng had set up a study specifically for his writing.
However, there weren't many books on the bookshelf; it was mainly used to store the computer, projector, and game console.
This was also a place Liu Nanfeng kept to himself. Everything in it was arranged by him, and Su Jinxiu had not interfered.
Sometimes, in his free time, Su Jinxiu would come in to play games with Liu Nanfeng, or while Liu Nanfeng was busy, she would recline on the beanbag chair and watch dramas on the projector.
He pulled out a thick photo album from the bookshelf and sat down in front of the computer to flip through it.
These were not their wedding photos, but a daily album.
It covered almost all the photos of him and Su Jinxiu from the past seven years, with the rest stored on the computer.
As Liu Nanfeng flipped through the album, the first photo that caught his eye was of a girl in a white dress standing under a willow tree.
This was the first photo Liu Nanfeng had taken of Su Jinxiu.
That noon, they had eaten in the school cafeteria and were walking back to the dormitory along "Yingyue Lake." Liu Nanfeng took the photo of her with his phone. The weather was good that day, the sun was gentle, and a light breeze gently lifted her skirt.
The only imperfection was the low resolution, not very clear. This was unavoidable, as seven years ago, the resolution could only be so good.
The second photo was also of Su Jinxiu, in the school library. She was quietly reading a book, and the sunlight shone in through the window, passing through her hair. She looked like she was glowing. Of course, the resolution was also not very high.
As he continued to flip through, Liu Nanfeng's photos gradually increased, while Su Jinxiu's photos slowly decreased. Even when they were together, they were mostly joint photos, and there weren't many.
Liu Nanfeng pursed his lips, feeling deeply moved. This was because only by loving someone, by caring about someone, would one constantly pay attention to them.
One would seize those fleeting moments to capture photos.
There were also photos of Su Huamei.
Su Huamei and Su Jinxiu had very similar profiles, but their attire and temperament were completely different.
Su Jinxiu lowered her eyebrows and smiled gently, elegant and exuding intellectual beauty.
Su Huamei, on the other hand, had dyed red hair, a high ponytail, and bright red lipstick, like a burning flame, radiating seductive desire.
Looking at the photos of the two sisters, Liu Nanfeng sighed deeply.
Just then, he heard "Su Jinxiu's" voice from outside: "Honey, are you back?"
"I'm back." Liu Nanfeng quickly closed the photo album and put it back.
"Su Jinxiu" probably saw the shoes and helmet placed at the door.
Liu Nanfeng walked out of the room and saw "Su Jinxiu" standing in the living room, holding a bag.
Seeing him come out, she immediately walked up to him giggling, raising the bag in her hand as if presenting a treasure.
"Tada, look what I have?"
"Roast duck from Dexian Restaurant?" Liu Nanfeng saw the words on the bag.
"Yes. We ate at Dexian Restaurant at noon. I know you like their roast duck, so I specifically packed one."
"Su Jinxiu" said as she entered the kitchen.
The Dexian Restaurant she mentioned was a restaurant near the cafe. Because the food was good, they often had meals there.
Liu Nanfeng followed her into the kitchen.
"Su Jinxiu" poured out the roast duck from the bag, saying, "Roast duck shouldn't be heated in a steamer or microwave, it won't taste good. It needs to be slightly roasted in the oven to maintain its original flavor..."
Liu Nanfeng walked over and hugged her from behind.
"Su Jinxiu" was stunned for a moment, then asked somewhat strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just touched by how good you are to me," Liu Nanfeng said.
He had asked Zhu Yuchan not to disclose anything externally. He already knew the identity of the two sisters. It wasn't that he wanted to deceive them, but he didn't know how to face them. He wanted to find an opportunity to reveal it to them personally.
Hearing this, "Su Jinxiu's" lips curled into a smile. She turned around to give Liu Nanfeng a kiss, but her eyes fell on the ligature mark on his neck.
She immediately asked angrily, "What happened to your neck? Who did it? I'll kill them."
Liu Nanfeng: ...
This was her true personality.
ps: Three abilities, which one do you think is the best?
