Chapter 1680 The Meaning of the House of the Heart

The snake-tailed insect that Shahru encountered must be a demon. Then, this meets Angel's experimental requirements.

He inquired in detail about Shalu's battle with the snake-tailed insects in the House of Heart.

Angel paid close attention to every detail, because Salu's situation was a reference for Toby.

When Shalu told what happened inside several times, Angel finally stopped.

Shalu's explanation made Angel feel a little relieved. What he fears most is that after Toby enters the House of Heart and encounters the thoughts of extreme resentment, because he is not hostile to the opponent, he is finally defeated by the thoughts of extreme resentment, and his ontological consciousness is also damaged.

But according to Shahru, he fought with the snaketail in the Stone Pillar Colosseum, and finally died tragically in the mouth of the snaketail. He thought he was completely dead, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that the previous experience was just a dream.

Shalu was killed by the snaketail, but was kicked out of the house of heart, and his body consciousness was not injured. Then, when Toby faces his extremely resentful thoughts in the House of Heart, he should be fine.

After confirming that the House of Heart would not cause damage to consciousness, Angel began to focus on another thing.

"You said before that you lasted five minutes under the attack of the snaketail?"

"Yes, to be precise, I spent the first three minutes running away. In the last two minutes, I fought with the monster... the snake tail insect, but it was so strong that I was subdued in the blink of an eye," Shahru explained.

"Three minutes to escape, two minutes to fight?" Froude pondered for a moment: "There seems to be something wrong with this."

Angel also nodded: "The strength of the snake tail shouldn't be like this."

Flood opened his desk drawer and took out a stack of reports. With a casual glance, Shahru discovered that every page of this report had terrifying monster patterns. Under the monsters were densely written words that seemed to be the monster's information.

Froude turned to one of the pages, and the monster on it was a snake-tailed worm with a head like a worm and ears like butterfly wings!

Shalu was shocked and confused. Are there so many of these monsters? What are the origins of these monsters?

While Cell was doubtful, Froud had already reviewed the information on the snake tail worms that he had collected previously.

The snake tail is the most agile, can fly, and has certain long-range attack methods.

Although it is only a few words, the meaning it represents is far beyond the upper limit of ordinary people's understanding.

When faced with Cell, who had been alienated by the snake-tailed worms, Knight Sabel couldn't last long, let alone Cell, whose fighting ability was no different from that of a weakling.

If based on the true strength of the snake-tailed worm, Cellu faced it and killed it almost instantly. It would have been impossible for him to escape for three minutes.

"In other words, the strength of this snake-tailed insect is not worthy of its name. Why is this?" Angel frowned and pondered, "As Cellulite's inner demon, is the strength of the snake-tailed insect just a figment of Cellul's imagination?"

"It's possible. After all, Shalu has never faced the terror of the snake tail worm." Froude said.

After listening to the conversation between Angel and Froude, Shahru suddenly said: "Actually, I don't know how strong the snaketail is. When it chased me, it didn't use its full strength. It kept asking me some... questions. . Even when I had to fight it, it kept questioning me, so I was able to delay it for so long.”

"What question does it ask you?" Froud did not immediately care about the combat power of the snaketail, but curiously asked about the snaketail.

"It asked me, why...abandoned it?" Shahlu paused: "Master Thiessen, why does it keep asking me this question?"

When Flood heard this answer, he sneered: "Why do you think it is questioning you?"

Shalu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Froud meant.

"You should have heard the conversation between me and my lord. Then you should also know that the snake-tailed worms you are facing are not real demons." Froud looked at Shalu quietly: "You still don't understand. Is this your inner demon?"

Inner demons are the demons of the human heart.

Just like a tree, it cannot grow without the earth as its root system.

Angel also whispered at this time: "The inner demon seems to be far away from you. But the breeding ground for it is not other people, but your own personality."

In this world, there are people who fall into the clouds and are willing to join the demonic fires of hell. But at the same time, there are also people who fall into hell and still remain pure and flawless.

The same is true for inner demons. Even if some people are walking in the abyss and seeing all the evil things in the world, they still think about the beauty of the world and will not have inner demons because of it. But some people have not yet entered the abyss, and they only imagine the abyss. The terror has already begun to change sides.

Shahlu is the latter, he is timid and narrow-minded. Even if he only came into contact with the snaketail for a few days, and the snaketail did not even do anything to him, he turned the snaketail into his own inner demon, which shows his narrow-mindedness.

The snake tail seemed to be questioning him constantly, but in fact it was Shalu himself who was questioning himself.

Because inner demons are born from the heart.

"You'd better remember the questions your inner demons ask you, because they are also the questions you ask yourself deep in your heart." Froud said calmly.

After hearing this explanation, Shalu was suddenly stunned.

He still remembered that when he was asked by the snaketail "Why did you abandon it?", he replied that Angel did it and he didn't know anything.

At that time, he heard the snake tail reply: "That's because you are too cowardly."

At that time, Cell thought that the voice was too strange. Although it came from the mouth of the snaketail worm, it was not like the sharp voice of the snaketail worm. It sounded very familiar, but he really couldn't remember whose voice it was.

Now thinking about it again, wasn't it his own voice?

That was the depth of his heart, telling himself through the snaketail worm that he was too cowardly...

While Cell was stunned, Frode was also observing him. Cell had been confined in the library for a long time, but even so, Cell still pretended to be one-sided and had no intention of repenting secretly. But at this moment, Frode saw guilt and reflection in his eyes.

Is it crocodile tears, or is it true enlightenment? No one knows.

...

Ignoring Cell's thoughts, Angel and Frode continued to discuss the issue of the inner demon's combat power.

Although Cell said that the inner demon only delayed him for five minutes by constantly questioning him, the inner demon's combat power is actually very strong.

This is indeed possible, but this is only Cell's unilateral statement. Compared with this answer, Angel still believes that the inner demon's fighting power may be related to its own understanding.

In short: I think you are strong, so the inner demon is really strong. But I don't know how strong it is.

In other words, the inner demon's fighting power may not be truly reflected through the Heart House.

Unless you have enough understanding of the inner demon.

If Angel's speculation is true, Toby's desire to use the Heart House to simulate the battle with the Extreme Resentment Thought may not be fully realized.

However, even so, the Heart House is very important to Toby. Because it allows Toby to face the Extreme Resentment Thought directly...m.
