Chapter 22: The Witch of Pain

At the northern foot of Hearthfire Island is a headland that winds back and forth.

Medea stood in the shallow sea, soft white sand beneath her feet, and the waves crashed against her white calves.

In the cold water, even if the flame power is rampant, it will not reach dangerously high temperatures in a short period of time.

Aske carefully touched her face and shrank back with lightning speed.

Medea only felt a buzz in her head, as if there were endless negative emotions welling up.

This time, her consciousness did not fall into a coma like when she ran out of consciousness before, but some memories that had been sealed in the depths of her consciousness returned to her mind.

"Do you understand?" A female voice in my head asked.

"Original...... That's right. Medea replied.

"Next, leave it to me." The female voice said.

Before Asker's eyes, Medea standing in the sea began to burn.

Flames rose from the soles of her feet, and not even the sea could engulf them.

Fire and water burst into flames, emitting blazing white gas and smoke.

"Hehehe......" Medea, who lowered her head, let out a hysterical laugh.

"You are?" Asker was already certain that the person in front of him was not Medea herself.

It should be what she calls a sub-personality.

"Medea." She looked up with a strange smile, brushing her hair from both sides, and there seemed to be a strange flame burning in her eyes, "Look, I'm Medea." ”

"I thought that after you became independent, you would give yourself a new name." Aske said lightly.

"You're wrong, I'm not her sub-personality." The corners of her mouth grinned, like a devil's grin, "I'm just her ......"

“…… The dark side. ”

"The dark side?" Asker asked.

The flames around Medea intensified, and even the sea seemed to boil, and Asker was forced to take a few steps back and stand on the reef.

"You know what?" Medea tilted her head and looked at him, "Normal succubus bloodline, the main sequence should be desire." ”

"But I, since birth, the main sequence has always been a flame."

"From birth." Asker frowned, "When you were born, you were already a transcendent?" ”

"yes." Medea wrapped her fingers around her crimson hair, "It's the transcendent of Flame V." ”

"Potions of any sequence, up to IV." Asker said.

"No, it's not a potion." Medea sneered, seeming a little bored, "So, even you, is this the only way to know power?" ”

"I see." Aske said solemnly, "It's purgatory." ”

"You were born tainted by the will of purgatory."

"Huh?" Medea stared at him, "You also know the will of purgatory?" Do you know what the source of the will of purgatory is? ”

"Pain." Asker replied, "The source of the underworld is sorrow, and the source of the abyss is despair. ”

"And the source of purgatory is suffering."

"Ah......" Medea sighed, "yes, among the many emotions, only the strongest negative emotions can sink to the bottom of the subconscious ocean." ”

"The underworld, purgatory, and abyss are planes formed by the accumulation of massive negative emotions that sink to the bottom."

Aske pondered.

The various settings of the three planes have long been thoroughly studied by forum players. These planes are made up of negative emotions and occasionally collide and overlap with the main plane.

For example, the advent of the underworld is a mutation in the words of the night watchman, and a random plot copy in the words of the player.

Of course, overlap doesn't necessarily cause variation.

Sometimes, the three planes may just rub with the main plane, leaking a bit of breath in.

This lost breath may produce spiritual intelligence and turn into a strange and terrifying monster;

It is also possible to transform into a cursed item, with special supernatural abilities and strong negative effects;

It is also possible to possess humans, causing an increase in supernatural strength and extreme character.

In the unlikely event that these breaths will possess the newborn NPCs, or the newly created player accounts, which players call "Pollution".

Pollution can be both good and bad. The good thing about it is that pollution gives away a high sequence of extraordinary abilities.

For example, he knew a certain team player before he crossed over, and the name he used was the "Son of the Abyss" who was polluted by the abyss, and he was born with Lv.5 and had the ability of Shadow V, while the normal use of Shadow Potion could only reach the highest level of IV.

This guy's character is nicknamed the Shadow King, and he is strong in the darkness of lack of light, and can exert 300% combat ability.

As a side effect, when exposed to direct light, you will get a negative state called "depression", and your reaction speed will be reduced by 60%.

As a result, the entire team's style of play was built with him as the core, and all kinds of people artificially created a dark environment, and people gave them the nickname "Blind Clan".

Because when they broadcast their game live, the picture suddenly went dark at every turn, forcing the director to switch to the night vision mode in a hurry.

In order to restrain this, the enemy team can only engage in flashbangs, light sequence abilities, etc., but suddenly a light suddenly brightens up in the night vision mode, and the audience is immediately blinded......

"The contamination of the will of purgatory caused you to be born with the extraordinary ability of Flame V." Asker said in a deep voice, "What are the side effects?" ”

"That's me." Medea said with a smile.

"The generation of a sub-personality?" Asker asked.

Well, it doesn't seem like a side effect, right?

"No, it's pain." Medea smiled beautifully, but there was a sinister sly hint in that smile, "I can draw strength from pain, and I can only draw strength from pain." ”

Asker understood what she meant: it was probably when nearby enemies took damage, she could get some kind of buff. If she doesn't do damage for a while, then her fire damage will be pitifully low.

"And what about androphobia?" Aske asked.

"It was her nightmare, the source of her long-standing pain." Medea smiled and said, "She suffers all the time because her mother was so humiliated, and it just so happens that she has the instinct to absorb pain." This constant pain had been growing her flame abilities far beyond her spiritual endurance. ”

Therefore, she had no choice but to seal this memory, lest one day be burned to death by the fire of pain in her heart. And I am a fragment of her personality that she voluntarily splits from, a fragment of her personality that is willing to endure and even enjoy pain, and is responsible for keeping this memory and controlling the flame for her. ”

Asker: ..................

Are you willing to endure or even enjoy these pains? Isn't that ...... Is that that?!

Therefore, it was Medea who specifically separated the S and M parts of her personality from the fear of men, made a sub-personality, and sealed it with these memories.

So the main personality does not have to suffer embarrassing pain, and the sub-personality enjoys it, and by the way, it also draws energy from the pain......

Medea, you're so sassy!

Such a witty approach can be called a fancy textbook for those with spiritual abilities.

No wonder this guy was so strong after he went berserk, the copy of Heavenly Mountain was killed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the flame ability seemed to be endless, God knows how much pain and emotion she had absorbed from childhood to grow to this intensity.

"That is." Aske nodded, "She doesn't have to worry about the conflict between the main and secondary personalities at all, because this was originally planned by her. ”

"Yes." Medea's deputy personality smiled and said, "She also sealed memories about me, so now she doesn't remember my existence, but ah......"

"But what?" Asker asked.

"But I want to see you, Asker." The deputy said eagerly, his eyes were so hot that he seemed to imprint him in his eyes, "Hehe...... This was the first time she'd spent so much time with a man since she was a child......"

"If I remember correctly, you should be the extremely misogynistic part of her personality." Aske said cautiously.

"Yes, I am disgusted by your presence." The deputy personality grinned at the corners of his mouth, and his smile was extremely hideous, "Every time you speak, the sound of your voice is pricking my nerves. Your breathing makes me feel dirty, and you make me feel almost unbearable pain just by standing in front of me......"

"And these pains are ...... to you"

"It's all very pleasant to me......" her cheeks flushed, and her eyes began to blur.
