Human Shackles - Chapter444

After a long time, Luo Kai turned to look at the rising sun and said, "Miss Su, I'm sorry, I can't promise you this. If I really kill your brother in the future, it's fate. I can't change fate, no one can change it … Even God can't change it!"

Su Xiaomei's pretty face turns pale. She has studied the way of mathematics deeply. In the concept of mathematics, fate is not untraceable.

Most people's fates were very clear, but saints were not at the level of humans. Their fates had countless forks, and it was impossible to calculate.

She thought that as long as Luo Kai agreed, it would be the same as choosing another path among the countless forks, and her brother would not die.

Luo Kai turned to look at her and sighed, "Miss Su, everything will become inevitable in the face of infinite probability. Fate is the same. There may be countless forks in the road, but there is only one end."

Su Hsiao-mei was silent for a long time, and said faintly, "Then is there no other way?"

Luo Kai thought for a while, and said, "There is, but very few people can do it. Ancient religions have a tradition of avoiding the world. As long as one doesn't get involved in karma, and one's six senses are pure, it is possible to break free from the push of fate."

Su Hsiao-mei was stunned, and said, "Let my brother become a monk?"

Luo Kai could not help but smile, and said, "There is no Bodhi tree, nor is there a mirror. These are only the surface, the most important thing is one's heart."

Knowing that Luo Kai did not have the intention to kill her brother, Su Hsiao-mei was much happier, and said with a smile, "No matter what's in your heart, you have to smile enough on the surface. I'll go back and tell my brother. If he doesn't listen, I'll make a move. He can't beat me now."

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the entire campus was bustling with noise and excitement. Some people were also walking towards the courtyard.

Luo Kai was becoming less and less fond of socializing with others. He gently floated up, and said to Su Hsiao-mei, "Su … little sister, I'm leaving."

"Wait, Brother Luo, I have a gift for you."

Su Hsiao-mei was a little reluctant, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade him to stay. She hurriedly ran back into the house. When she came out again, she was holding a pendant with a heart in her hand. It looked like it was carved out of an ordinary stone, but the carving was very delicate and looked very beautiful.

"Big Brother Luo, this is called the Heart Stone. If someone is hostile to you, it will become hot … I hope it can help you."

Su Hsiao-mei blushed as she spoke. Although she rarely interacted with others, she knew the meaning of a heart-shaped gift.

In fact, the Heart Stone would not only detect nearby enemies who had ill intentions, but it would also detect people who had feelings for him. However, feelings were the opposite. His Heart Stone would turn cold.

Luo Kai naturally wouldn't care about the significance of such a gift in the secular world. He smiled and accepted it.

This thing might be a treasure to others, but it was useless to him. He just couldn't bear to brush away Su Hsiao-mei's embarrassment.

Now, even if they were thousands of miles apart, as long as someone had ill intentions towards him, he would immediately sense it. However, there were very few people who had the qualifications to make him feel vigilant.

He waved his hand, "Alright, little sister. If fate wills it, we'll meet again."

Seeing Luo Kai gradually rise, Su Hsiao-mei suddenly thought of something. She loudly said, "Uncle, before Little Xue died, she told me that we would meet again and told me to wait for her. What do you think that means?"

Luo Kai's expression changed as he stopped in midair. Death wasn't just the death of the body, but also the exhaustion of the soul. Little Xue's ability came at the cost of her own life force, which was why she died at such a young age. It was the death of both the soul and the body.

His previous out-of-body experience gave him some understanding of the soul. If reincarnation really existed, then it would be like the formatting of a computer. Although the computer was still the same computer, it was already empty.

If Little Xue said so, could it be that she could get rid of the formatting?

"Look, there's someone flying in the sky!"

Luo Kai fell into deep thought in midair of the school. Many students below noticed this and exclaimed one after another.

This was the University of Beijing. The geomagnetic tower in the school could see that the surrounding 100 kilometers was in a strong gravitational environment. One had to bear dozens of times the gravity of the outside world. Not to mention flying, even strenuous exercise was incomparably difficult for those with weaker physiques.

There were many people who could fly, but they all needed to rely on external forces. They either evolved their own wings or used a flying device.

However, that person didn't have anything. He just casually stood in the sky as if he was standing on land. To be more precise, he was like a free wind that belonged to the sky. Naturally, he didn't need to rely on anything. He had nothing to rely on, and thus he was able to swim endlessly!

…

Luo Kai noticed the commotion below. Countless noisy thoughts rushed into his mind. Those were the thoughts of countless people below. Some of them were envious, but most of them were surprised and jealous.

He was a little irritated. When he could easily find out the thoughts of others, then there wouldn't be any secrets in human society to speak of.

To other Saints, it might bring about a god-like sense of superiority, but to him, it was extremely boring.

He waved his hand at Su Hsiao-mei from afar as a sign of farewell, and then disappeared into the horizon.

Su Hsiao-mei also waved her hand. Looking at Luo Kai's figure completely merged into the sky, a sense of loss arose in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh faintly.

It wasn't that he wanted to be alone, but that he couldn't find someone of the same kind by his side.

Now, he finally found someone with a common interest, but their time together was always so short.

Su Hsiao-mei was in a daze for a while. She turned her gaze back to the densely packed symbols in the courtyard. A large piece of it was missing.

She had been learning Taoism's philosophy from Yun Chan all these years. She understood the reason why Luo Kai did this.

The Way of Heaven was flawed, and everything was imperfect. But it was precisely because of this flaw that it gave people the motivation to improve. Otherwise, this world would be a pool of stagnant water.

Luo Kai did this because, on one hand, it was in accordance with the Way of Heaven. On the other hand, it was also to limit the speed of development of human science and technology. It was a real civilization when spiritual civilization matched with technological civilization. Otherwise, it would only be a flash in the pan, just like before the catastrophe.

…

A violent airflow gathered behind Luo Kai. A moment later, accompanied by the explosion of a white cloud, his speed broke through the sound barrier.

On Earth, when one could fly at supersonic speed, then distance was no longer a problem. A distance of ten thousand miles could be covered in an instant.

The Earth was originally a huge magnetic field. When one turned into a superconductor, one could deeply use the magnetic force. Then, traveling through the universe was no longer a dream. It wasn't like wings that needed to rely on air, and it wasn't like machines that needed a huge amount of energy to move. One only needed to subtly use the repulsive attraction between one's body and the magnetic field of the stars to be able to travel easily.

This was true for living things, and it was also true for science and technology. If humans wanted to truly rush out of the Earth and into space, they had to learn to use the magnetic field between the stars.

Below him was a vast and boundless wilderness. One could see that most of the small and medium-sized cities had become barren. A large number of people had gathered in the large cities.

The wilderness was completely a world of plants. Towering trees covered the clouds and the sun. When the airflow blew, it was like a green sea with undulating waves. The originally beautiful things gave Luo Kai a sense of horror.

The uncontrollable development of anything would destroy the balance of the entire world. Therefore, destruction was necessary!
