Jiang Ran was just an ordinary office worker who squeezed into the subway during the morning rush hour. Until that day, he was squeezed into a deep sea.
There is a fish in the deep sea, invisible and shadowless, called "regret".
He became the only [emotion fisherman] in the world - not fishing for dragons or carp, but only fishing for the emotions of living people. Anger, fear, secret love, regret... Others rely on the sign-in system to become stronger, while he becomes stronger by stripping others away.
But this world has long been divided up.
The "Heart Sea Association" maintains order on the surface, but runs an emotional black market behind the scenes, using vegetative states to harvest regrets in batches; in the underground auction house, a ten-year crush is priced at 50 mental power, and the scars of the eternal separation of mother and child are clearly marked with a price.
Everyone advised him: Don't fish for "regret".
Because regret is not an emotion, it is a wound that cannot be healed. It is something deeper, heavier and sharper than anger and fear.
But he was cornered.
In the local underground black market, a drained vegetative mother and her son kneeling in the corner became his bait——
Jiang Ran picked up the fishing rod.
At that moment, a drop of water rose from the void and illuminated the entire underground black market.
That was the word that the woman, before her consciousness dissipated, looked at her child for the last time and could not say.
She opened her eyes from regret.
This world says that emotions are commodities, regrets are taboos, and rules are iron laws.
Jiang Ran said: Then break it into pieces.
Your emotions are my battlefield. Your regrets are my weapons.
