This process embodies the principle of dynamic balance that is prevalent in natural and social phenomena, warning us that the state of things is relative and temporary, and that continued one-way development will inevitably lead to reverse changes.
However, the ultimate pleasure may not necessarily bring pleasure.
Putting aside the feeling of loss after the pleasure, just the oversaturation of the sensory experience can no longer be called pleasure.
There is a limit to what your nerves can endure.
A string that is kept taut will eventually break at some point.
Death is inevitable.
However, Chen Yun did not pay attention to what happened to the woman afterwards.
Judging from the mental strength he invested, the intensity would be unprecedentedly high, and he would die.
In the quiet night of Lavager, he went towards the people and places the woman mentioned.
At night in Laoag, the moonlight gently covers the ancient streets like a veil, giving this historic city a cloak of tranquil silver glow.
The street lights are sparse and the light is dim.
The shadows of pedestrians are stretched out and projected onto the stone road, painting a picture of loneliness and peace. The breeze blows gently, carrying the salty smell of the sea and the faint fragrance of flowers and plants in the distance, through the streets and alleys, as if it can blow away the noise and dust of the day.
However, beneath this calm appearance.
The night becomes the most perfect disguise, allowing all kinds of secret transactions and hidden conspiracies to be quietly carried out in the darkness.
In the shadows, pairs of eyes flashed coldly, monitoring every corner. At the other end of the street, the occasional footsteps seemed particularly heavy in the silent night, and every step seemed to step on the edge of people's hearts.
The government system and military strength of the Philippines are not as sound as those of some big countries, and it was once colonized by Spain.
So the nights here are very chaotic.
The night in Laoag is like a dancer wearing a mask. On the surface, he is elegant and calm, but in fact, he is cautious in the dark, hiding his sharpness and determination. In this night where peace and murderous intent are intertwined, every soul is silently telling its own story. Some seek shelter, while others wait for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
At this moment, Chen Yun was also part of the unrest hidden in the night.
He followed the list and walked through the streets of Laoag at night.
Many people on the list are not in Laoag.
Among the people in Laoag, there is an uncrowned king who indirectly controls the local government’s top brass through various means. He is undoubtedly the biggest fish here.
He has neither the time nor the energy to care about the small fish and shrimp.
So we decided to go straight to the source.
Go find the biggest gray area boss in Laoag, and also the uncrowned king who can indirectly influence the government through various means - Aba Lerna.
According to the woman, Aba Lerna started out as a transnational smuggler, and has gradually become the underground king of Laoag by bribing corrupt officials and cultivating private armed forces.
This situation is not uncommon in the Philippines.
And this kind of guy is undoubtedly a useful chess piece for Chen Yun.
Aba Lerna controls the government and underground gray areas of Laoag, and he can secretly control Aba Lerna behind the scenes.
Violence, as the eternal first privilege, can always trample on the second, third, and fourth privileges of politics, law, money, and influence.
In the underlying logic of social structure and human interaction, violence, as a primitive display of force, constitutes the most basic support for all power relations.
Above all social norms, legal systems, and economic foundations, violence exists as a potential and most direct influence, and can become a decisive factor under certain conditions.
Although civilized society strives to manage and regulate interpersonal relationships with relatively mild mechanisms such as law, morality, economy and culture, under these appearances, violence, as one of the most primitive human behaviors, is the underlying foundation of all social orders. When all other forms of power and influence fail or are challenged, violence is often the last resort.
From this perspective, the essence of power is not only the ability to make and enforce rules, but also the ability to force others to obey, and violence is the most direct way to reflect this essence.
And Chen Yun.
It is undoubtedly the existence that can most directly pursue this essential concept.
No one could be more violent than him.
In a year, he might even be more violent than the armies of most countries.
By that time, he would undoubtedly be the uncrowned king.
Any attempt to gain power is nothing but a clownish performance in front of him.
Because he possesses absolute power, he can overturn the table at any time.
In this regard, Chen Yun couldn't help but think of a famous animation adapted from a light novel he had watched before - "God Slayer!"
In the light novel series "God Slayer!", God Slayers are humans who can kill gods and usurp their power. By defeating the disobedient gods, they gain god-level power and become beings that transcend ordinary people.
Humans who become Godslayers learn the Thousand Languages and gain night vision. Their bodies become extremely strong, their bones are harder than any alloy in the world, their muscle fibers are difficult to tear, and they have a stronger ability than adrenaline. Bleeding stops immediately and the pain becomes dull. Their bodies contain hundreds of times more spell power than ordinary magicians. As long as the flow of spell power in their bodies is strengthened, they will not be affected by external magic, and wide-area magic will be automatically invalidated. They have strong resistance to spell power, and both good and bad magic will be deflected. Unless magic (or potion) is injected directly into the body through mouth-to-mouth, it will not work. When fighting with all their strength, the body will naturally adjust to the best state.
Such a fighting machine is the devil of mankind in that worldview, because no mortal living in the world has the power to contend with it.
They are the kings of modern society and can vent all their desires as they please without anyone daring to object.
Because they themselves are a collection of strength.
Boundless power is just a byproduct of strength. He can overturn the table and purge everyone at any time, and then pull out a new power group out of thin air.
And these god-killing demon kings in fantasy novels may very well be his future.
Wait until his strength reaches that level.
If he wanted, he could always rule the world like the God-killer Demon King and become the only king that cannot be resisted.
In this world, violence is the only eternal truth.
No matter how much Aba Lena bullies others like a local tyrant in Laoag, he is just a small Karami to Chen Yun.
Just as he was thinking this.
Something happened in the alley ahead.
In the narrow alley, the slightest sound was infinitely amplified - the sound of a dagger being unsheathed, and also rapid breathing.
In that narrow, dimly lit alley, the shadows seemed to have a life of their own, quietly devouring every ray of light that tried to penetrate.
A gangster walked straight towards Chen Yun, his steps light and agile.
He was wearing a worn denim jacket, with patches and wear that showed the traces of countless street fights, baggy overalls, and a pair of worn-out sneakers that made a slight but harsh sound on the wet stone with every step.
His face was vaguely visible in the darkness, and his tightly pursed lips and furrowed brows revealed a fierceness that should not be underestimated.
In his right hand, he tightly grasped a gleaming dagger, the blade reflecting a cold glow in the occasional faint light.
"Friend, can you lend me some money?"
As the gangster spoke, his eyes flickered in the darkness, and he glanced around vigilantly like a wild beast, looking for targets or potential threats.
Although his breathing was heavy, it was controlled and rhythmic, showing that he was in a state of high concentration and ready to deal with any situation that might arise at any time.
As Chen Yun looked at the dagger so close to him, a hint of helplessness flashed across his face.
The unrest at night in foreign countries is no joke. In his transparent perception of the world, there are crises everywhere around him.
It’s not like in the country where you can go out freely at night.
The road he was walking on was already relatively quiet.
But there are still people who are blind.
If you really want to find a safe place, there must be one, but you'll have to take a longer detour, and Chen Yun doesn't want to go through the trouble of taking a longer detour just for these bugs.
Whether the bad guys he encounters can survive depends on whether they do anything unfriendly or provocative.
"Don't you understand English? Answer me now!"
"Or I'll kill you!"
The gangster angrily moved the dagger closer, trying to put it close to Chen Yun's neck to leave a bloody mark.
He did the same thing when he threatened some tourists before.
As long as the dagger makes a small cut, the other party will immediately take out the money out of fear.
But when he exerted a little force.
But he found that the dagger was stuck on the man's skin and could not go any further, as if it had encountered some extremely hard substance.
This made the gangster raise his head in confusion, and he looked at Chen Yun in front of him and swallowed.
He obviously had not anticipated that the dagger would not penetrate the target. For a moment, he was overwhelmed by strong doubts, and then he was filled with extreme fear that made his legs go limp.
Countless legends of monsters and demons emerged in my mind.
He wants to run.
But I found that I couldn't move my legs at all.
He opened his mouth to say something.
But because of extreme fear, he could only open his mouth but no sound came out.
The air around seemed to become heavy at this moment, and even the wind seemed to take a detour, not daring to disturb the hidden danger.
In this deserted alley, a drama woven by desire and greed is about to unfold quietly.
And the protagonist is obviously not a gangster.
Without waiting for the gangster to say anything, Chen Yun grabbed the dagger with extremely fast speed. The force was so great that the gangster could not resist at all, and the speed was so fast that the gangster could not react at all.
next moment.
Chen Yun put his left hand around the gangster's neck and covered his mouth, then pointed the dagger at the gangster's neck with his right hand and stabbed it decisively.
The gangster whimpered twice before the dagger stabbed into his neck, making him lose his voice.
The skillfulness of his movements is breathtaking.
The moment the dagger stabbed into his body, the gangster tried desperately to struggle because of the intense pain.
But under the huge force of Chen Yun's arms holding him, he couldn't struggle at all.
I could only try hard to straighten my legs, but then they became limp again.
"Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal."
Chen Yun's face was calm, and his hands moved steadily as if they were nailed to the ground.
The gangsters were like chicks in front of him.
Not only could he not struggle at all, he couldn't even make any sound.
This is not only because Chen Yun covered his mouth.
Also, when a person suffers a severe physical injury, such as a stabbing, the body will immediately initiate a series of stress responses to cope with the emergency. These physiological responses may directly or indirectly cause the victim to be unable to speak temporarily or permanently.
First, being stabbed by a sharp object causes severe pain, which can quickly distract victims and make it difficult for them to concentrate on verbal expression.
Secondly, the location of the wound affected his respiratory function. The gangster had difficulty breathing normally due to the pain and restricted breathing, let alone speaking.
Finally, the sudden violent attack, in addition to the physical impact, was also accompanied by a great psychological shock. Fear, shock, and the strong activation of the survival instinct also made the gangster unable to organize his language and speak for a while.
all in all.
The alley is very quiet at this moment.
There was only the gentle breeze of the night and the faint breathing sounds of the gangsters, which seemed to be leaking air.
Not long after, only the night wind remained.
Chen Yun casually threw the gangster's body on the ground without any expression on his face.
Do something to him.
Then there is no need to say more about the gangster's fate.
There is no mercy with Chen Yun.
Anyone who provokes him will be sent away within a few chapters at most.
And with his skillful use of telekinesis, he did not leave any traces, nor was his body stained by the blood.
Anyone who saw Chen Yun, with his calm face and clean and tidy appearance, would not think that he had just killed someone.
With the night breeze blowing.
Chen Yun didn't even look at the body on the ground.
Just as if he had stepped on an ant, he continued to move towards his destination carelessly.
With the Philippine police's attitude and ability in handling cases, and his own instinct to avoid the few cameras in Lawag, he didn't have to worry about being discovered.
