"Spiritual energy is scarce, energy is limited, job positions are limited, resources are limited, and human mental power is also limited."
"The power of thought cannot be continuous; it may be interrupted by trivial matters or influenced by the thought of others."
"Does it mean that just because you want five million, someone else doesn't? Do you want to get into this school, but others don't? These kinds of reasons can explain it all."
"That makes sense," Draco agreed, then added, "Psychic power does indeed vary in strength. Some people, lacking both psychic power and skill, resort to praying to gods and Buddhas. They hope that through sincere prayer, the gods will bless their psychic power, allowing them to win in the game."
Upon hearing this, Trillian clapped her hands in sudden realization. "No wonder people always believe in God; they're seeking blessings."
"That's not entirely true." Draco shook his head.
Whether or not the gods bless you depends on the will of Heavenly Dao. If it is your destiny, even the gods cannot defy it.
"Moreover, if deities easily interfere in the karma of mortals, they will inevitably bear the corresponding karmic consequences. If a deity helps someone with evil intentions, causing that person to commit evil and affect innocent people, wouldn't the deity also be karmic entangled with those innocent people? They would then get into a lot of trouble. Which deity would do such a thing for the meager offerings of mortals?"
Trillian winked at Draco, smiling ingratiatingly, "So, praying to the gods is less effective than trusting you, young master. At least you're already involved in my karma, and you won't just abandon me."
Draco sighed helplessly, "So now I'm in a real mess, and I have to rack my brains to see if there's any way to make you a wizard."
Trillian chuckled.
At this moment, Selene concluded, "We've come full circle. Ordinary people's telekinesis works, but they don't know if it's effective, so they don't believe in it, and therefore can't use it."
"Telekinesis is useful," Draco refuted Selene's statement, explaining, "It's just that for very big things, the extent to which telekinesis can influence things is too limited, but it should be somewhat useful for things related to you."
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to continue, Draco went on to give them examples. "There are good thoughts and bad thoughts, kind thoughts and evil thoughts. As for yourself, of course you should have good thoughts. If you feel that you are not sick, then you are not sick. If you don't have bad thoughts, such as anxiety, unease, or fear, then your body will not get sick."
"Why would someone who has no ill intentions and a peaceful mindset also get sick?" Selene asked, puzzled.
"That might be due to external environmental factors," Draco explained. "For example, are there problems with the air, water, or food, or is it a negative influence from the people around you? In this case, the simplest solution is to move away as soon as possible."
"That's absolutely true." Trillian had seen some news examples in the past, wholeheartedly agreed. "If you live in a building and have a neighbor who has a bad influence on you, whether it's upstairs or downstairs, it's simply a disaster."
Selene then asked, "But what if real-world constraints prevent us from moving away?"
"Poverty and lowliness cannot sway you, is that it?" Draco laughed.
"Huh?" Selene didn't understand.
Hermione speculated, "It probably means they don't have the financial means."
Draco nodded, then said to Selene:
"Then we'll just have to accept it."
Selene protested, "Why am I the only one suffering like this, while the others in the same building are unaffected?"
"Because you had evil intentions."
Draco pointed it out incisively.
Selene looked completely bewildered.
Hermione saw right through her. "You secretly hope that this torment can be transferred to someone else, that someone else will bear the suffering for you. That's the evil thought lurking in your heart."
"That's right." Draco nodded, then added, "But luckily you only thought it in your mind and didn't curse anyone by name, so the malice didn't spread outwards and therefore didn't have any real impact on others."
Selene then asked, "If I just think to myself, 'Why am I the only one suffering?', is that considered having a bad thought?"
"Then that's your own problem," Draco explained. "There's something wrong with your aura; your energy field and magnetic field are out of balance. Your magnetic field just happens to resonate and become entangled with the magnetic field of the person causing you trouble. Either your magnetic field is developing in a bad direction, or in short, this person seems to have appeared specifically to mess with you and torment you."
"What if I'm a good person?" Selene still protested.
Draco chuckled and said, "Good and bad are relative. No one dares to say they aren't a bad person, and no one dares to say they are a good person, because good intentions can lead to bad outcomes. What seems like a good thing to you may not be so to the person involved."
Selene was somewhat confused and asked:
"So, should we still do good deeds?"
"Of course you can do it," Draco said, offering his suggestion.
"If you don't want to do good deeds but end up doing bad things, the best way is to thoroughly understand the truth and background of the matter before taking action, and then make a choice. Many times, we only hear one side of the story and act solely based on our own subjective judgment."
"However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing; there's nothing wrong with doing whatever you want. But you have to bear the consequences of your own actions—that is, you reap what you sow."
Trillian interjected with deep feeling, "That's how I feel when I watch the news. I used to always think that news was truthful, but I never expected that some news stories would have such outrageous twists and turns..."
"Press releases are inherently purposeful; truth or falsehood is never the primary consideration," Draco criticized.
Then it analyzed the underlying logic behind the news media.
"As for whether it's to cover up other news, stir up emotions to gain traffic, or promote the idea that 'everyone is happy, and your unhappiness is your problem'—it could also be political propaganda and negative news from other countries, making you feel that being in this country is better than being in other countries. Things are all about comparison; if others are worse off than you, then even if you are in such a bad situation, it seems like you can get by."
Trillian exclaimed in astonishment:
"I think journalism is a subject that loves to deceive people."
Draco chuckled at her words, then succinctly stated the essence of the matter. "The reason con artists succeed is because there are fools. If everyone remained vigilant and less likely to be fooled, con artists would naturally have no place to exist."
Trillian gave Draco a thumbs up:
"Wow, young master, you managed to smooth things over."
