Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

(Two years won't be enough to purify your evil thoughts.)

Amamiya Rin sighed deeply.

(Evil? So what! I'm happy! I'm only happy when others are unhappy! You wait, I'll not only ruin this marriage, I'll also make that man named Shouxing strangle that ugly woman to death with his own hands, and then kneel down and beg me to be his girlfriend!)

Tomie Kawakami scoffed and unleashed an exceptionally vicious curse on [Tomie Network].

(Understood. There's no need for kind words when dealing with people like you. The only way to guide you towards good is through force.)

Amamiya Rin's disappointment and determination spread along the nerve lines of [Tomie Network]. Sensing Amamiya Rin's will, Kawakami Tomie's heart skipped a beat.

Tomie Kawakami bit her lower lip, a chill running through her heart. Her instinctive fear made her want to avoid the limelight for the time being.

(Oh, they're arguing?)

(This guy is so arrogant! Daring to boss us around!)

(That's right, a cripple who can't even walk properly dares to talk so arrogantly.)

(We've been through thick and thin, we can't let ourselves be disgraced.)

(Yes, perk up!)

……

However, just as Kawakami Tomie had the thought of backing down, the voices of other Tomies rang out.

A group of Tomie fans, eager for a good show, stirred up trouble on [Tomie Network].

Tomie's snickers and gossip ignited Tomie Kawakami's anger; there were three things she found most intolerable.

The first thing is that men ignore her charm.

The second thing is the emergence of counterfeit goods.

The third thing is the disdain for counterfeit goods.

All three of these things were blows to her self-esteem.

(Amamiya Rin! You idiot! You cripple who can barely walk! What gives you the right to act so arrogantly towards me? You want me to listen to you? Fine! Kneel down and beg me! Lick my toes, and maybe I'll consider it!)

Tomie Kawakami started shouting loudly on [Tomie Network].

(Great! Well said!)

(Well done!)

(Excellent! You didn't let Tomie Kawakami down!)

Tomie and her ilk joined in with gloating echoes, like a swarm of noisy flies.

Faced with the boiling malice online, Yu Gonglin's response was simple and direct.

(All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; thus should they be viewed, like dew and lightning.)

Amamiya Rin placed her hands naturally in front of her knees, forming a meditation mudra, and silently recited a passage from the Diamond Sutra.

The short verse, like a drop of cold water falling into boiling oil, exploded in the noisy network of consciousness in Tomie.

They heard this passage in their dreams for two years and felt nauseous. Almost subconsciously, they recalled the meaning of this passage and felt an instinctive irritation as a conditioned reflex.

(So ​​annoying! More chanting!)

(Shut up! Who wants to hear this!)

[Tomie Network] was immediately filled with Tomie's sharp resistance and curses, trying to drown out the chanting that was making them feel irritated.

At the same time, Amamiya Rin had entered a deeper level of meditation.

Inhale—exhale—

His breathing was extremely long and deep; each inhale seemed to draw in the tranquility of heaven and earth, and each exhale seemed to expel the impurities from his body.

Gradually, his breathing became in harmony with the chirping of birds outside the window, and resonated with the undulating mountains and forests in the distance.

In just a few breaths, the noise from the outside world and the turmoil within quietly disappeared, and Yu Gonglin's heart gradually became clear.

When the mind is focused inward, without any ripples, it is like a deep pool in an ancient well, reflecting all things yet remaining unmoved.

When both mind and breath cease, one enters the gate of stillness in meditation.

Inside the tea room, Tomie Kawakami suddenly gasped for breath.

She unconsciously took a deep breath, a long and deep breath that completely violated her normal breathing habits.

Immediately afterwards, her exhalation became unusually slow, as if her body had automatically adjusted to a frequency unfamiliar to her.

Not only her, but all the other Tomies scattered throughout the city, whether they were shopping, enjoying the attention of men, or plotting how to cause trouble for Amamiya Rin, were changing at the same moment.

They unconsciously slowed their movements and stopped talking.

The noisy inner world was forcibly silenced.

Changes in breathing, changes in heartbeat—a peculiar stillness quietly rises within me along with these changes.

The restlessness and malice that always existed in the mind also became blurred and distant.

An almost inert calm temporarily enveloped the ever-noisy [Tomie Network].

By relying on the method of calming the mind and settling the thoughts, Yu Gonglin naturally transitioned from the method of calming the mind to the method of observing.

He observed the slight coolness of the air in his nasal cavity when he inhaled it, and the slight warmth when he exhaled it.

He observed the natural arising, pausing, changing, and passing of breath, like waves surging and receding, never the same for a moment, without any tangible form.

He clearly observed the muscle atrophy, sensed the weakness of that part of the tissue, and the subtle obstruction to blood flow.

He observed this body, which was merely a temporary aggregation of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind, and was not constant or unchanging. Ultimately, it was fragile and perishable, following the law of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness.

He observed the breathing of Tomie and the others, their breaths sometimes rapid, sometimes languid, sometimes filled with emotional fluctuations.

He does not make distinctions, nor does he judge good or bad; he simply observes the impermanent process of their arising, lingering, changing, and dissipating as it truly is.

He clearly saw that the body they cherished, from birth to death, had ulcerated skin, pus and blood flowing out, internal organs rotting and infested with worms, and finally the flesh and blood were devoured by the swarm of worms, leaving only white bones, and the white bones turned to ash in the nine stages.

He observed the sensations in their bodies, the different tactile sensations of each woman sitting, standing, or walking, and the deep attachment to their beautiful appearance that was rooted in each body.

He observed their thoughts, those arrogant, hateful, calculating, and bored emotions, which rose and fell like bubbles on the water.

He felt neither aversion nor rejection, but simply watched these thoughts arise and pass away calmly, discerning their illusory and unsettling nature.

This mindset of observing the impermanence and impurity of breath, body, and mind, along with the network of [Fujiang Network], is reflected in the depths of the consciousness of every Fujiang.

For Tomie, it was a clarity she couldn't comprehend, a perspective she had never had before.

Tomie Kawakami watched as her wicked thoughts shattered like foam, and looked at the blood, muscles, joints, bodily fluids, fat, stomach, intestines... within her body, a temporary assembly of flesh and bones. If one were to dissect its interior, how different was it from ordinary men and women?

Tomie wanted to scream, to struggle, to use stronger emotions to cover up this uncomfortable reality, but she found that even this impulse to resist and her feelings of anger, under the omnipresent observation, revealed their illusory and impermanent nature, and then dissipated.

At this moment, every Tomie is forced to synchronize with Amamiya Rin's body and mind, experiencing the reality of impermanence and emptiness as her attachment to self is peeled away layer by layer.

Looking at her fair and slender fingers, Tomie Kawakami felt a sense of unfamiliarity for the first time, yet also an overwhelming sense of familiarity. In the realm of contemplation, they could not escape confronting their own physical and mental state, confronting the five aggregates that constituted their existence and were subject to impermanence.
