Chapter Ninety-Two: The Defector
"What did he tell you?" When Hill returned, Rand asked quietly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"It's a big problem, we didn't want to hide it from you, it's just that I'm better suited to deal with this than you!" The shepherd smiled wryly with a melancholy expression.
Hill and Rand exchanged privately for a while, and the fireworks suddenly had an indelible worry on their faces.
Qin Lun's mental problems would undoubtedly have an impact on the apostle team they were about to form. And the five major killers have grown to the current stage, and each time they will be assigned to a very difficult otherworldly mission, and they can no longer act out of the team.
"Will he be able to recover?" Rand asked cautiously.
He didn't know, he said that the recovery time was getting longer and longer, and that there would be a lot of sequelae after the recovery, and some of the memories would be missing. The most important thing is the lack of emotion, he will lose the affection with us and the trust that has been built. ”
Hill said with a wry smile, "This guy is more troublesome than the rest of us, and his brain and emotions are like computer chips that are regularly formatted. Originally, Joey Foster of the two personalities was the emotional processing center, but once Joey could no longer accommodate him, both of them would disappear at some point......"
"What happens then?" Rand's face changed, and he had some bad premonitions.
"He didn't know, Qin Lun said that he couldn't think of any ~ memories of the formatting period, only that every time this moment, there would be a serious crime around him." Hill shook his head and said, "He was in Handan Heavy Punishment Prison, and he attacked death row inmates and prison guards in the same room for no reason on several occasions, and it was for this reason. ”
"The third violent personality?" Rand narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
"No, he originally thought it was a third temporary self-preservation personality, but then he realized that it wasn't." Hill said solemnly, "He feels like it's a sign that schizotypal personality disorder is slowly healing!" ”
Whether it's schizotypal personality disorder or other psychiatric disorders, it can all be attributed to a problem with some part of a person's physical and psychological cognition. This kind of disease can be cured by correcting the patient's three views and cognition.
When Qin Lun had mental problems, he was still a child, and he did not have a complete three views and a perception of the world. As he taught himself a lot of knowledge in Handan Prison and completed a whole set of psychology, his three views began to be perfected theoretically. The later adventures in the Shattered Starry Sky gave him the opportunity to practice, accelerating the process in disguise.
During his time in prison, Qin Lun's original mental illness showed signs of healing, but at that time, no psychologist could identify his psychological state.
Tong Guò's several emotional formatting in Handan Prison, Qin Lun slowly realized this. It's just that he still can't deal with it, because the more he goes through and the more he understands human emotions and the outside world, the faster his "disease" heals.
Compared with the two personalities of Qin Lun and Joey, they have actually been "drinking to quench their thirst".
"Ciel, what do you mean......" Rand's eyes widened slowly.
"Well, I was taken aback when he first made that assertion. We have all read about Qin Lun's deeds before he was imprisoned in the newspapers, and we basically believe that the appearance of the 'dissecter' was the cause of Qin Lun's tragic experience in childhood. ”
Hill frowned and said, "But think about it the other way, if Qin Lun and Joey, the two existing personalities, are not the main personality, but each represents a part of it, and both belong to the good side, what will be the result?" ”
"Joey is violent and cruel, Qin is morally ruthless, both of them belong to the kind side of the master's personality...... I can't imagine it, it was really horrible! Rand shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I can't imagine that Qin Lun's personality is already so twisted and tyrannical at that age!" ”
"There are all kinds of lambs in this world, which is why we need the guidance of shepherds and God!" Ciel pursed his lips and muttered under his breath.
"Will you eat the crooked lamb as you did?" Rand rolled his eyes and asked in distress, "Is there anything I need to do?" ”
"No need, Qin Lun only said that he should not trust 'him' in the future, he should be restored again. It is not easy to be completely cured when he is so sick. "Still, when he wakes up again, we'll need to do him a favor!" ”
"Help him reconstruct that lost memory?" Rand's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood.
"Well, it's hard to recover if you lose your emotions, but memories can be reshaped, at least to keep him in our team of five." Hill sighed and said helplessly.
"But this is just a stopgap measure, you also said that he has been 'drinking to quench his thirst', so there is no way to get rid of this emotional formatting?" Rand asked with a frown.
"Get rid of? How to get rid of? Restricting Qin Lun's personal freedom and forbidding him to continue to gain knowledge of the world and emotions? ”
Hill and Rand looked at each other and smiled wryly, this is indeed an unsolvable proposition.
"Qin Lun has already come to his senses, and he asked us to help him recover his memories as much as possible. That way, even if at some point he and Joey are gone forever, the main personality will be affected by the memories and emotions that remain over and over again, and may remain with the team after healing, so as not to affect us and the people around him too much. ”
"Qin Lun like that...... Is it still Qin Lun! Rand said with a heavy heart.
The two of them slowly fell silent, and they both knew it in their hearts. Even if these arrangements are made, the master personality can retain some memories, he is no longer Qin Lun and Joey, and those memories will be the last traces they left in the world.
"If it's so simple that as long as you kill the master's personality, you can keep the current Qin Lun, I think we will all do our part." Hill said expressionlessly, "It's a pity that this can only be done by himself, and we can't do anything about it." ”
"Forget it, let's do the task first!" Rand shook his hand a little irritably, striding to keep up with the group that had gone a little farther away.
……
As time passed, Gillim moved faster and faster, and it seemed that the feeling in the dark became more and more intense.
"There's light ahead!" After rounding a corner of the labyrinth, the dwarves in the party let out a cheer.
In a dark and dark area, the appearance of any bit of light will bring people an incomparable feeling. In particular, Qin Lun and the others are surface creatures themselves, although many people in the team have night vision and microvision abilities, but the sudden appearance of light will always make people feel shocked.
"Watch out, everyone, we're almost at the heart of the Minotaur's lair!" Gillime sternly instructed, waved his hand, and motioned for Newton, the shield guard of Weiss's team, to step forward and walk side by side with him.
The solemn expression of the legendary powerhouse made everyone cheer up, maintaining a defensive formation that did not seek merit but no fault, and slowly walked towards the exit that emitted bright light.
When everyone walked out of this last passage and stood at the exit, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It is a long hall with a cone-shaped dome that is several times higher than the labyrinth outside, about 20 meters high and about 100 meters long. On both sides of the hall are more than a dozen gray-white columns, each of which needs to be hugged by two people.
The architectural style resembles that of an ancient Roman temple on earth, with stone piers with braziers at intervals under the columns. At this moment, a strange milky white flame burned inside the brazier, illuminating the entire hall.
The gray-white pillars and ground depict the battle reliefs of the minotaur and the underground creatures, giving people a mysterious and heavy sense of history at a glance.
However, at this time, the floor of the hall was full of stumps and severed arms of arachnid elves and minotaurs, all kinds of internal organs and blood smeared the hall, and the cracks of the stone slabs were outlined with strange patterns outlined by blood.
At the back of the hall was an open portal where a fight to the death was going on.
On one side of the door were a dozen arachnids and seven drow elves, two of whom were women dressed in black priestly robes, and the other five were drowning warriors in leather armor and carrying scimitars.
Except for the two adult minotaurs who were roaring and wielding battle axes on the side of the door, the rest were basically juvenile minotaurs with significantly smaller bodies and immature faces. What is strange is that among these minotaurs, there are actually two drow elves, a man and a woman, who are helping the minotaurs resist the arachnoid elves and drow outside the door.
Drow elves who have defected from the dungeon! Gillim and the others immediately came to their senses, and now they knew why the arachnoid elves, who had only served the spider god, attacked the minotaur labyrinth. The minotaurs were clearly implicated by the two defecting drows.
If the defection of the two drow elves aroused the anger of the spider god, then the spider elves joined the pursuit team of the dungeon, and there was a reasonable explanation.
Because the width of the portal was not enough, the arachnid elves and drow on the side outside the door had to take turns to fight, and there was nothing they could do to take the enemies inside the door for a while. However, this only prolonged the battle, and as the two adult minotaurs and the defected elf body lì descended, they were certain to die.
"We are believers in Elistriad, adventurers on the surface, please help us!"
Facing the back of the hall, the minotaur and the two defected Drows were the first to see the other side of the expedition. The female elf among them had a light eye, and without hesitation, she cried out for help.
As she called for help, the arachnid elves and Drow, who had not yet discovered the exploration team, were startled and turned their heads to look. Among the two Drow priests, the older Drow priest immediately raised his staff, and several arachnid elves and Drow warriors who had not joined the battle pounced on the exploration team.
"Followers of the Dark Maiden...... Help them! Hearing Elisestria's divine name, Mastasia's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, she drew her longbow. I1292
