Before the second story begins, let's talk about Kyogen.

Creating a coordinated multiple personality is an extremely dangerous thing to do.

So far, human research on the brain is still in a very shallow field, and all kinds of unpredictable accidents will occur if you are not careful. In the history of Kyogen, there are not a few examples of being anti-object-oriented and devouring the master's personality by the sub-personality. In addition, it may trigger a series of mental illnesses.

And Shi Zuocai's situation is a little more dangerous than the above situation - it is like building a nuclear bomb from existing materials by himself without reading the instruction manual.

No one knows for sure how stable it will be, or when it will erupt.

According to the methods explored by the predecessors, there are many procedures and taboos for wanting to become a Kyogen Master and create a second personality. The most basic point is to conceive a personality in your mind, and this personality must have some kind of reference, whether it is your neighbor, it can be a character in a movie, or an imaginary ancient sage......

But this is not the case with "Mr. Demon".

Shi Zuo remembered the time and opportunity for Mr. Demon's appearance, and also knew that Mr. Demon was indeed created by himself. But he doesn't have any human in his memory who can be used as a reference and has a similar personality to the current Mr. Demon.

Before the age of eight, he was an abandoned baby at the Shahe Welfare Institute. After being adopted by his adoptive parents, he got the name Shi Zuocai.

At the age of eleven, both adoptive parents died in a car accident. Instead of accepting the government's offer to return to the orphanage to wait for the next adopter, he inherited his adoptive parents' estate and lived alone in the apartment.

Lobbying the police and convincing the psychiatrist that an eleven-year-old child is allowed to be self-reliant is all due to Mr. Demon.

But he never knew much about Mr. Demon. This parapersonality that appears out of thin air is like a mysterious and profound mystery, and its depth cannot be measured with normal thinking.

In the words of Yoo Smoke, Mr. Demon is scary because he doesn't have a "name".

The so-called personality division is only convenient for distinguishing and understanding. As for the sub-personality itself, he/she will not have the concept of "I am a para-personality", because once the personality is formed, it will have its own memories, and they will have a history of their past life in their minds, even if it is all fiction and fabrication of the main personality, they will also be convinced in their consciousness.

- In short, the sub-personality is another person.

As long as it's a human being, how can it not have a name?

Not only does Mr. Demon not have a name, but he also has a deep understanding of the concept of "himself is a sub-personality", and he also expresses an attitude of enjoying it......

Such an existence is really too weird.

"I'm going to help you figure out what happened to you. Otherwise, in your current condition, you may wake up one day...... You're not you. ”

Liu Yanshi's expression was quite serious when she said this, but the stuffy oil bottle still didn't understand what she was doing by taking out eight mirrors from her bag and standing on the table in front of her.

Here's what she said:

"Have you seen Sherlock? There is a palace of thought in everyone's mind, where Kyogen can meet each of his personalities and communicate...... To enter the palace of thought, though, you'll need a few mirrors......"

That afternoon, Shi Zuocai sat on the sofa, listening to the "Blue Danube" released on his mobile phone, looking at himself in the eight mirrors on the table, and accepting the hypnosis from Liu Yanshi.

"Close your eyes and relax. Memorize the outlines of these eight mirrors and bring them into your subconscious. ”

"Breathe a little slower, a little slower...... The sun is now setting, hanging above sea level...... Can you see yourself sitting in a boat? ”

"It's just you. The boat floats on the water. You don't have oars by your side because the boat can't take you where you're going......"

"Breathe...... Breathe...... Now you can hear the seagulls, they're going home...... The afterglow of the setting sun is gone...... It's dark......"

"Now...... It's time for you to go home......"

"You're going to sit up slowly, slowly from the boat. Can you see yourself reflected in the sea? It's dark, it's dark. ”

"Come with him...... Stand up...... Walk into the sea...... Sink...... Sinking ......"

Then Shi Zuo fell into the depths of consciousness.

The memory of the "mirror" was planted there.

The feeling of suffocation gradually faded away. There is no need to breathe in this place -

It's a wonderful place. The "palace of thinking" is just a general concept, and it may not be a palatial palace or even a building.

That space is constructed by the subconscious, reflecting everything in the depths of the heart.

Shi Zuo would stay there for a short time, then meet the second personality and talk to him......

- That's how it should be.

But in fact, he didn't see the pictures that Liu Yanshi described.

Because Shi Zuocai completely lost consciousness the moment he was hypnotized.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in bed. And it was not his adoptive mother's room where he usually slept, but the door of the house that he locked and never opened for seven years...... Own bedroom. He was only 11 years old at the time, and he even had giant building blocks bought by his adoptive parents in his room. Liu Yanshi sat on the wooden horse made of building blocks, looking at him with a strange expression.

"You're back."

She said.

"It's been eight hours."

She said.

Shi Zuocai was a little puzzled, and his consciousness was still very vague:

"What happened?"

“…… Shi Zuocai. She looked at Shi Zuocai and was silent for a while, her expression a little strange.

"You...... I never knew if I had a third personality? ”

******

******

A fatal chill exploded in his skull, cold from the top of his head to his heels, and he could even feel his fingertips tingling.

He had never had any memories of a "third personality", and he was pretty sure he had never created a third personality.

Liu Yanshi's words were like a bolt from the blue, telling him undoubtedly: in the past eight hours, his body had been occupied by a third "self" that he did not know at all.

He even opened the door of the room where Shi Zuocai would never want to step in, and invited Liu Yanshi to come in and play for a day.

No matter how much the stuffy oil bottle asked Liu Yanshi, she didn't say much about the "third personality" - she just looked at Shi Zuocai, showed a scalp-tingling, playful smile, and said nonsense like "he's like a child" and "he's cute".

The stuffy oil bottle didn't ask again. Whether he pursued it or not, he was now tantamount to being pressed to the ground by a big trouble that appeared out of thin air. Rather than digging into the roots, he prefers to forget everything that happened before and pretend that nothing happened.

The turn of events also came very suddenly. That night, Liu Yanshi, who had disappeared for a few hours, came again uninvited and pulled Shi Zuocai, who was cooking, out of the kitchen.

"Shi Zuocai, come with me."

"Where to go?"

"We have to catch the subway and go to the martyrs' cemetery."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to take you to a bar."

Shi Zuocai glanced at Liu Yan, was silent for a few seconds, pondered the words, and said slowly:

"I would rather be able to enjoy a peaceful life before I die......

"You don't understand!" Liu Yanshi looked at Shi Zuocai seriously, and said word by word:

"What I'm taking you to is the meeting place of the Kyogen Master."
