Pain is the sensation produced by an organism when it is subjected to harmful stimulation. It is the organism's internal warning system that can cause a defensive reaction and has a protective effect.
What would happen to people if they lost their sense of pain
This means that people lose their vigilance to harmful stimuli. If they lose their vigilance, they cannot avoid danger, and such people will eventually go to self-destruction. Even if they do not self-destruct, the personality of people who lose their pain perception is abnormal.
Personality is medically defined as "a phenomenon corresponding to an individual's response to external stimuli". A person's spirit, whether gentle or hateful, cannot be produced by relying solely on what exists within oneself. The heart will only be moved by external stimuli, so it will produce pain. For example, people often use "no pain" to describe coldness.
If a person loses the sense of pain from the beginning, it will be difficult for him to form a personality. If he does not understand pain, he will not understand joy, and all emotions based on this will not exist. The only emotion left is probably the so-called numbness, which is no different from a walking corpse.
It is conceivable that when a different feeling appears in the life of a walking corpse, it will be a great temptation for this person. Even if this feeling is not good, it is an important and indispensable part of life.
This is the case with Asagami Fujino. When she heard that Shinji could help her restore her sense of pain, she knew she couldn't resist the temptation.
Early the next morning, Asagami Fujino came to the villa of the Matou family.
At this time, Tsuruya, Shinji, and Sakura were having breakfast in the restaurant. Fujino was sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room, her eyes fixed across the space on Shinji.
As an old hand in the world of flowers, Tsuruya was unusually sensitive to women's gazes. Noticing this, he quietly touched his son's arm.
"You brought one back so soon? Not bad, you are worthy of being my son."
"No, no, I still need to learn a lot from my father in this regard, and try to bring back a few each time." Shinji pretended to be humble.
The unscrupulous father asked: "How did you cheat?"
"By his face, he's handsome." The unscrupulous son answered while stroking his bangs, "Xiaoying, is my brother handsome?"
"Handsome!" Ying answered without hesitation, "Brother is the most handsome."
The unscrupulous father nodded seriously: "Indeed, your father's reputation today is all thanks to this handsome face."
The unscrupulous son couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Yes, yes, let's deal with my stepmother first."
"... ... "Wuliang's father retreated, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Before answering this question, I would like to ask my father, how bad is the situation of the Qian Shen family? Is there any hope?"
Hearing Shinji's question, Tsuru couldn't help but sneer: "Save? How to save? All kinds of bad debts and non-performing assets, I wouldn't be surprised even if they declare bankruptcy tomorrow."
"Nothing at all?"
"Unless you are willing to invest, the benefits are too low compared to the expenditure. Even the branch Asagami family is only willing to assume the debts of the Asagami family on the condition that they obtain all the land under the name of the Asagami family and that Miss Fujino's mother remarries. This is because the Asagami family itself is in the construction industry, and the head Asagami Yasuzo has intentions towards Miss Fujino's mother, so they agreed."
"I see."
Shinji's thoughtful look made Tsuruya feel that something was wrong.
"Son, you don't want me to do business at a loss, do you? This loss may not be made up by the profits of the Tong family in a few years."
"Of course not." Shinji shook his head. "You just said that Asagami Kousou had intentions towards Fujino's mother? What does the Asagami family say?"
"Although there has been no official reply yet, I guess they will agree. Alas, the entire Asagami family has fallen into disrepair." Heye sighed. After all, they are all ancient families in the mysterious world. Now that the Asagami family has fallen, Heye can't help but feel a little sad.
"That's good, father. I beg you for a favor." Shinji narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fujino in the living room. "Since the Asagami family has reached the point of selling women to pay off debts, selling one is selling, and selling two is selling."
"You want Miss Fujino?" Tsuruya understood.
There was a light in Shinji's eyes that did not come from a man's desire for a woman, but something deeper and more complicated, seemingly kind but mixed with ambition.
"Yes, if there are other people in the Asagami family who have 'superpowers' like Fujino, we can also consider accepting them."
"Superpowers?"
As a member of the Matou family, how could Tsuruya not know that it was a superpower
Superpowers refer to functions that are not originally possessed by humans, which give rise to so-called paranormal phenomena.
Unlike magic, people with special abilities can cause paranormal phenomena like breathing. To the person themselves, this is something they take for granted, but only after being pointed out by others (common sense) do they realize that they are abnormal.
"People in the Asagami family have 'superpowers'? Why have I never heard of it?"
"That's because the people of the Asagami family intentionally blocked the news, because the origin of this 'superpower' is not glorious. The Asagami family was originally a famous demon-killing family, but they raised the captured 'demons' as guardian gods. As a result, the Asagami blood, which should have been the blood of demon-killing, was mixed with the devil's factor. In the process of continuous mixing, the Asagami bloodline became thinner and thinner, and the decline of the family was also related to this. 'Demons' have the power to distort nature. People with the 'demon's' factor may show superpowers. Fujino is such a person. The irony is that although it was the 'demon' that was introduced by themselves, the people of the Asagami family are full of taboos about this power and are unwilling to let the outside world know about it. Once it appears, they will find ways to block it. It's really easy. Father, you can tell me that the Asagami family is rotten in every sense."
However, the Asagami family is averse to "superpowers", but the Matou family is not. Magicians are all extraordinary people. Not to mention "superpowers", even if it is "non-human" (non-human), as long as it is beneficial to them, they will accept it.
Even so, magicians are still human beings, and they also have the desire to grow and develop. But magicians are few in number, and the principle that magic needs to remain mysterious sets up an invisible barrier between magicians and ordinary people. Under this premise, absorbing some people who are not magicians but are related to mystery is a very good choice. Many magician families with a long history have recruited people with special abilities, and Shinji also wants to use this method to strengthen the power of the Matou family.
Understanding his son's thoughts, He Ye quickly gave a reply.
"I'll go talk to the Asagami family in a bit. As long as you think it's worth it, Shinji, I'll spend as much money as you want. I think Fujino-san is a nice person, and she's not much older than you. I'll think of it as finding you a fiancée in advance."
"Stare~~~~~"
This sentence caused dissatisfaction in Sakura. She pouted, and her aggrieved look made Heya feel uncomfortable.
Shinji, the only one who could comfort Sakura, turned a blind eye to this. He left the restaurant at a brisk pace, not forgetting to say, "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."
This disloyal little bastard.
