Chapter 1251: Vicious Circle

Joseph left, leaving Hugo a quiet space.

Although Hugo's first reaction was that Joseph was talking nonsense, he was instantly overwhelmed by fear, and the fear of the unknown made him uneasy. Because deep down in his heart he knew that there was a good chance that the doctor's speculation would be true.

The moment when the memory gap first appeared ten days ago was the moment when this qiē happened, right? It's like the most bloody plot in a dark TV series, the split personality grows little by little, and then gradually occupies more and more time, and even begins to control the initiative of the body. Does that mean that one day in the future his ego personality will disappear and be replaced by a split personality?

Hugo was caught off guard by this sudden change, and he didn't even know how to deal with such a situation. It's like his original time-travel, fused with Lancaster's memories, and then made him who he is now. And now another personality has appeared, taking over the initiative step by step, waiting for the day when he will perish. Is this the end for him? It's like the original crossing, the soul comes into this world silently, and then the ending is also the soul quietly disappearing into this world.

It's like he's never been there.

This thought made Hugo panic, this seemed to be a situation beyond his control, not a situation that could be changed by his efforts or struggles, everything was happening quietly, and he was not even the first to know. This powerless situation surrounded him in an instant, as if he would be suffocated in the next second.

Groggily, Hugo fell asleep, though he kept reminding himself not to fall asleep, because it was very likely that he would never wake up after he had fallen asleep, and would be replaced by a split personality. But the heavy eyelids and tired brain still made him fall asleep in a daze.

Dreaming again.

Hugo opened his eyes, and when he looked down, he saw his wet, slimy hands, the bright red blood on them was a little abnormal, it looked like artificial plasma, but the touch was delicate but so real. Wait, why does he think this blood is real enough? Did he really kill someone?

Hugo looked around hesitantly, but he didn't see Walter or Hope, or Derek, but a halo of light flickered not far away.

Hugo didn't know if he should go over because he had bad memories of his previous experience of walking towards the light. But apart from the halo, there was darkness all around, there was no reference, no reference, and he could only take a step towards the halo.

Closer, closer. Then Hugo saw "his" mother curled up in her chair, whimpering and weeping, and the tears of sorrow falling down one by one, clearly visible in the light, the sad face was so desperate and mournful, but ...... It wasn't his mother, it was Matthew's mother.

Suddenly, Matthew's mother stood up and walked towards Hugo, and she just cried and wailed like a ghost, and the cries came from all directions. Hugo wanted to turn away, but he couldn't move, he could only watch as Matthew's mother rushed towards him, her face full of tears and piercing cries firmly enveloping him, but just as Matthew's mother was about to hug him......

He woke up.

Hugo sat up suddenly, gasping for breath, soaked with sweat, he looked around uneasily, the surroundings were still bright, it was still afternoon, the light was not clear, but Hugo felt at ease, and his beating heart was a little calmer.

Hugo raised his hands and looked at them carefully, but sadly, he didn't know if he was himself now.

"I'm Hugo...... I'm Hugo-Lancaster......" muttered in his head, but this simple sentence made Hugo exhaust all his strength.

Finally, the boiling in the brain gradually calmed down, Hugo sat in place but was a little dazed, why did he show signs of split personality? Why?

Hugo's chaotic brain gradually sorted out his thoughts little by little, and according to Joseph's description, the second personality should be Matthew Ponsley. This shows that he put too much focus on the role and the substitution effect is too obvious, but why didn't this happen when he played Amon Goss in the first place?

Hugo suddenly found a breaking point.

Isn't it because he is too invested in the role that this situation occurs, but because of the change in the way he performs? Does this mean that he is walking on a positive performance path at this time, and the so-called split personality is just the image of Matthew constructed in the depths of his mind, directly "born" a second personality, this personality integrates performance into the blood, every move does not need to be carved, it is a pure natural performance in itself, but he has not completely mastered this performance method, so there will be a loss of control?

But how did he prove that he was right? What exactly is his way of acting?

Hugo couldn't help but close his eyes again, although his brain was still in chaos at this time, he forced himself to concentrate, because this was no longer just a matter of acting, Yan zhòng could be the key to maintaining his life, so he had to be highly concentrated.

Hugo's change in the way of acting this time started from the "Seven Deadly Sins", he tried to find a combination of methodological acting and acting skills, so that each character is presented in the most real, natural and delicate way, Hugo not only requires himself to have a deep enough understanding of the role, he can construct the character, life and habits of the entire character; At the same time, he also requires to seek the resonance between himself and the character, use his own life experience and his own ideological characteristics to construct the small details of the character, and present his own understanding with the most accurate expression method, so as to achieve a perfect combination of the character and himself.

It's like...... It's like he's performing Matthew!

Indeed, he is indeed performing Matthew, but at the same time he himself is Matthew, and part of him is also a part of Matthew, and what is finally presented in the camera is the most real Matthew, and at the same time Matthew with Hugo's color, in a real sense, turning performance into a form of life.

Then people believe that Hugo is Matthew, and Matthew is Hugo; But Hugo is not Matthew, Hugo is just Hugo, Matthew is not Hugo, Matthew is just Matthew. In short, looking at the mountain is not a mountain, and looking at the water is not water.

Therefore, in the past month, Hugo has been trying to blur the line between himself and Matthew, replacing himself as Matthew into the "Matthew life" he constructed, and then living in an Angolan prison as Matthew for nearly a month, which made Hugo's mentality and thinking gradually approach Matthew's state, and even gradually evolved into Matthew.

When the boundaries between life and drama, performance and reality are completely blurred, Hugo's performance reaches a whole new level, he can truly understand Matthew's mentality, when Matthew's contradictory and urgent mood when facing Susan, and the whole psychological process of Matthew's denial that he is a murderer, Hugo can really feel the power of emotion.

As a result, Hugo's performance amazed the entire crew, even if it was just an ordinary scene.

But there is a problem, Hugo has no idea how he did it, he just feels that his whole person keeps turning into Matthew, and then ...... He really became Matthew, split out of Matthew's personality, and then really lived in the crew as Matthew.

Hugo realized that he didn't actually have a mental illness, he was just studying acting, and the so-called second personality was actually his understanding of the role, which was essentially his interpretation of the role, so he had some vague impressions in his mind, but the memory was not clear enough. It's a split personality, but it's not a split personality, and in the final analysis, it's just a process of Hugo's exploration of acting.

But Hugo's brain was so chaotic and so heavy that he couldn't sort out his thoughts at all, and he had no clue at all as to how the whole process happened. Hugo forced himself to start remembering the events of the past month, but his brain seemed to crack, the pain came in an instant, he couldn't calm down and think, the truth seemed to be hidden in a fog, he knew that he could solve all problems by removing the fog, but now he was lost in the fog.

Is this really the truth? Or is it the "truth" that he wishfully believes in order to escape the so-called split personality? Hugo didn't know that the unprecedented frustration gave him no time to think, Hugo only felt that his brain was tired, endless tiredness, as if all the tiredness accumulated in the past few years had come over him in an instant, drowning him, making him unable to breathe, and then he actually fell asleep again.

In my sleep, the same scene reappeared, and in the endless darkness, only the halo was bright. This time, Hugo would not be fooled again, he took a step away from the halo, and then began to run wildly, running with all his might. But not long after, the haunting cry sounded again, and Hugo turned his head sharply, and saw Matthew's mother chasing after her with tears streaming down her face, still crying bitterly.

In the blink of an eye, all the tears on Matthew's mother's cheeks turned into bloody tears, and the blood began to spread in the darkness.

Hugo could only run, except to run and run, he ran like a lost dog, running frantically, but his steps became heavier and slower, and the shrill cries continued to consume his energy. Hugo didn't have time to think, he didn't have time to breathe, he didn't even have time to be afraid, he could only keep running.

But when will this nightmare wake up?
