【Law of the Abyss】

The man nodded: "I've thought about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red ribbon hung down from the tree, landed on Xinyi and wrapped around her tightly.

The man looked at her nervously.

Soon, a red heart slowly emerged from her chest and was firmly attached to the red ribbon.

"What a beautiful heart." The old voice sighed.

"Yes, what a beautiful heart." A strange light flashed in the man's eyes.

The red ribbon with the red heart slowly goes up.

"Wait!" the man called out to it.

The red ribbon stopped moving.

"Do you regret it?"

"No, let me take one last look at it."

The red ribbon hung in front of him, and the red heart on the top was beating slightly. He held it in both hands, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

He lowered his head and placed a kiss on the tip of its heart. The red heart beat faster and he kissed it all over.

Finally, he whispered, "I'm sorry."

The red ribbon slowly rises, taking the heart with it.

The man looked up at it, walked to Xinyi, picked him up, and left.

He took her back to the room and laid her on the bed that had witnessed their madness.

She has been sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up.

He stayed by her side until she woke up.

She opened her eyes, her memory still stuck at the moment when they were not together.

"Daddy."

"Xinyi."

"I had a terrible dream."

"Don't be afraid, Daddy is here."

The man stepped forward and patted her gently on the back.

Her heart subconsciously avoided his touch. She wanted to say that he was the one in that terrible dream. He lost his mind in the dream and tore her apart and ate her whole like a wild beast.

"Xinyi, are you afraid of me?" The man's face changed suddenly.

"No, Daddy, I'm just tired."

She turned her head away, not daring to look at him, afraid to see the depth in his eyes again, and even more afraid that he would treat her like he did in her dreams.

The man reached out to push the strands of hair aside and whispered softly in her ear, "Xinyi, never be afraid of me. I will never hurt you."

"Yeah." She nodded and smiled.

The days passed by uneventfully, and their relationship returned to normal. He was the father who loved her, and she was the daughter who trusted him, until that night.

The silver moonlight spreads all over the earth, and everything looks hazy and beautiful under the moonlight.

He could no longer suppress his inner desire for her, and lurked behind her like a wild beast, waiting for her vulnerable neck to be exposed so that he could bite her.

"who is it?"

He hugged her from behind, covered her eyes with his hands, and whispered in her ear: "It was a dream."

Was it a dream? Was it another dream? Her consciousness was a little groggy.

In a state half asleep and half awake, the dream she had once again reappeared. She tried to break free from his shackles, but his arms were an insurmountable wall that no one could open without his permission.

She lowered her head and bit his hand, "Let go."

"Xinyi, you like it, don't you?"

Again? That disgusting and secret love came over her again. She couldn't, couldn't sink into it again.

She touched a knife, and the cold texture made her sober instantly. She remembered that it was not a dream, but a sin.

He groaned in pain as he heard the knife pierce his flesh.

"Xinyi, you actually want to kill me? Have you forgotten that you said you would be with me forever?"

The facial features on his face split and then reassembled, and a beast-like face appeared before her, clearly visible under the moonlight.

"You...are weird..."

The fear on Xinyi's face infuriated him.

"Monsters, huh? You forget that those who are with monsters can only be monsters."

"No!"

He killed her, and he carried her to the tree again.

Countless red ribbons hung down and penetrated his body, and he became one with the tree.

After a long time, he came out from between the big trees, hugging Xinyi.

"Okay, Xinyi, now you belong to me completely."

He used his wooden heart to reshape Xinyi, and she was truly his child.

However, he was not satisfied with her.

He always felt that there was something missing from her, and that she was quite different from the one he remembered, but he didn't know what the problem was.

She was an obedient child, and no matter what he said, she would do it according to his wishes, but he always felt that something was wrong.

So, he used one wooden heart after another to make one Heart One after another. He named them Heart Two, Heart Three... Heart Ten, until the whole city was his Heart One, and no one of them was his Heart One.

When Mu Bei saw this, he realized that the world of crazy people was indeed unreasonable.

What's even crazier is that he involved innocent people.

People heard the news from somewhere that there was a place where there lived a man with profound cultivation. He was very good at puppetry. If you want someone who is 100% obedient to you, just go find him and he will do as you wish.

So, one after another ignorant and greedy people came here.

"Are you Lord Wuxin?"

The man had an unfathomable look on his face, and the other party already regarded him as an omnipotent god.

"Lord Wuxin, please give me a lover who is 100% obedient to me!"

"Oh, love, do you need it?"

"Yes, I do, but he (she) makes me so sad. He (she) hurts me. Why does he (she) treat me like that? What did I do wrong? Why doesn't he (she) obey me?"

"You are right, but he (she) is too disobedient."

"Yes, Master Wuxin, you are right. He (she) is too disobedient. Can you make him (her) listen to me?"

"Of course, but what are you willing to pay?"

“It will cost…what?” The man backed off.

A mocking smile appeared on the man's face: "Of course, you have to pay for it."

"But I have nothing."

"No, you still have heart don't you?"

"Can……"

"Give me your heart and I will do as you wish."

Men are like bewitching demons, winning over one heart after another.

"it is good……"

The red ribbon fell down again, and when it left, the tree had another heart, and Wuxin City had another Wuxin person.

The big tree obtains energy from those hearts and slowly nourishes those hearts. Those hearts are like the fruits it bears, hanging on the tree. The tree is there and it is also there, forming a delicate symbiotic relationship between them.

But it does not like all hearts. Some hearts are contaminated with too many impurities that cannot be removed, and the fruits they bear are bitter. It will abandon them, no longer nourish them, and let them slowly wither.

"Brother, are you willing to help me?"

Xinyi's voice rang in Mubei's ears.

"How can I help? What can I do?"

"Brother, you can do it. Destroy the source of all this evil. This place shouldn't exist. Wuxin City shouldn't exist."

Mu Bei was shocked: "You want to..."

Xinyi's voice was firm and resolute.

"Yes, I want to destroy this place. The people of Wuxin City should take back their hearts. No matter what kind of heart it is, there is a place for it to be placed, but it is definitely not here."

"Brother, help me, help us."

Countless voices rang in Mu Bei's ears.

"Help me, help us!"

"Help me, help us!"

"Help me, help us!"
