Black Book

Chapter 9: Pride in the bones

Now Zhu Haomiao has to use all his strength for every movement, and his eyelids are twitching in pain!
Enduring the pain, the boy continued to flip through the Black Book and discovered that each of the following pages recorded an original sin.

[Greed]: LV.1 (23/100)

[Jealousy]: LV.1 (5/100)

[Anger]: LV.1 (89/100)

[Gluttony]: LV.2 (11/200)

[Lust]: Level 1 (97/100)

[Laziness]: LV.1 (76/100)

[Arrogance]: LV.1 (91/100)

Looking at the [Original Sin] which was at least LV.1, and the [Dao Heart] which was at LV.0, Zhu Haomiao seemed to understand why he was always madly testing the edge of losing control.

It’s because one’s [heart] cannot control [desire]!
Desire is the source of one's power, but it is also the culprit that causes one's distortion and loss of control!

Snapped!
As his palm shrank, the [Book of Black] instantly closed and turned into a chaotic black light that sank into his palm.

There is no need to materialize it at all, the information in the book is still projected into the mind, as clear as seeing through fire!
After finding his "disease focus", the dark cloud that shrouded Zhu Haomiao's heart dissipated instantly, as if a mountain had been unloaded. He felt a lot more relaxed, and even the pain in his body seemed to have lessened a lot.

As long as you know the "treatment method", the next thing will be easy...

Cultivate your mind!

Temper your heart!

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Haomiao stood up from the bed with high morale. However, as soon as his feet touched the ground, a piercing pain came from his lower body. The pain made him fall back on the bed, gasping for breath.

"hiss………"

Looking down, I saw that the foot that had kicked someone yesterday had swollen three times larger, and the skin and flesh on the tibia had turned necrotic purple-black.

"As expected, the action of force is mutual. I didn't kick myself and cripple myself, did I?"

With a grin on his face, Zhu Haomiao collapsed on the bed, staring dejectedly at the ceiling.

Subconsciously, I wanted to call someone for help, but I found that I didn’t have a cell phone!
What’s even sadder is that even with a cell phone, I can’t seem to find anyone willing to help.

I don’t have any friends in this world that I can talk to, and I don’t even have a single classmate I can name.

In an instant, Zhu Haomiao suddenly realized what a failure he was as a human being.

Looking back now, he gradually realized how much his character had changed unconsciously due to the influence of original sin.

The violent ups and downs of emotions made his thinking disordered and erratic, and some strange ideas would often pop up in his brain for no apparent reason.

Some of them are just nonsense, while others are extremely abstract, such as cats...

Most of these thoughts were triggered by [Original Sin]. However, the other [sins] were fine as they were just spinning around in the mind before being put into actual action. But [Pride]... that emanated from the bones!

No matter how hard you pretend, you can't hide that look that says "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying everyone here is a loser"...

In the eyes of others, I am probably a psychopath who is so arrogant that it is unreasonable, right?
In an instant, Zhu Haomiao seemed to understand the pain of a "victim youth".

Yesterday, I was more than just contemptuous of him. I treated him like an ant and didn't even bother to talk to him!

If I had explained it patiently at that time, things would not have developed into a situation that was difficult to handle later.

However, I didn't realize anything was wrong at that time. Instead, I felt it was natural. What qualifications does a humble ant have for me to bend down and listen attentively?

If he was lucky enough to be stepped on by himself, it was the honor bestowed upon him by God! If even one percent of this arrogant mentality was conveyed to the other party through his eyes and actions, a normal person would be furious!

Hmm... Thinking back calmly, maybe, probably, it seems, possibly... I really deserved a beating...

After serious reflection, Zhu Haomiao let out a long sigh.

"Alas...from today on, I will reform myself and become a new person!"

"Hiss~ It hurts so much, forget it, let's start from tomorrow, I can't move today..."

Not sure what had happened, but Zhu Haomiao's eyes twitched in pain and he collapsed on the bed in frustration.

However, a few minutes later, the dying boy sat up in shock and uttered a classic Chinese curse.

"grass!!"

Indulgence of original sin
[Laziness] +1
【Dao Xin】-1
The information from the Black Book made Zhu Haomiao break out in a cold sweat, and he quickly prepared to get up.

As expected, every original sin is rooted in the instincts in the human subconscious and is an indispensable part of self-awareness. Because of this, many times they are released silently, and we ourselves are not even aware that original sin is affecting us!

Even the seemingly most harmless and gentle [laziness] is hard to guard against...

Fortunately, I now have the [Black Book] to remind myself...

Somehow, Zhu Haomiao had an epiphany that this reminder mechanism must have been deliberately designed to leave the eight words "Stick to your heart and do whatever you want" on the title page!

To prevent the holder of the [Black Book] from being corrupted, degraded, and twisted like a frog in boiling water.

When his feet touched the ground and he saw the swollen and blackened calves again, Zhu Haomiao's heart trembled again.

If a normal person sees such serious injuries, the first reaction would definitely be to go to the hospital!

However, due to the influence of [laziness], I forgot about it and even wanted to put it off until tomorrow.

If it takes until tomorrow, my legs might be necrotic!
Once again, Zhu Haomiao intuitively and clearly realized the harm of [original sin].

Immediately, he gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and limped towards the door, holding on to the wall.

He remembered that there was a school hospital not far from the dormitory, but it seemed that the lights were often turned off, and he didn't know if there was anyone working inside...

If it doesn't work, I can only go to the school hospital...

Zhu Haomiao made up his mind and walked to the stairs with difficulty. Looking at the stairs that he was familiar with every day, he swallowed involuntarily.

Damn school, they built single dormitories but they didn’t even bother to install an elevator!

Afterwards, he mustered up a lot of willpower to take the first step and almost fell to his knees.

He held on to the handrails tightly with both hands. The tingling and numbness like needles ran through his legs like electric currents. His legs were as soft as noodles and completely out of control, shaking like a sieve.

It took several minutes to half-dragged and half-crawl down to the first floor. Zhu Haomiao walked out with the help of the wall, and suddenly stopped when he stepped out of the dormitory door.

"Control [Laziness], Dao Heart +1"

Encouraged, the boy became more motivated, limping towards the nearby school hospital with high morale.

Fortunately, God heard his prayers and the door of the school hospital was not locked.

When I pushed open the door, I saw a mature and charming figure in a white coat, lying lazily and elegantly on an ergonomic chair, with her plump long legs in black stockings crossed on the leg rests, and she was casually swiping the tablet in her arms.
