/ Shopkeeper, you have so many dark circles under your eyes, did you not rest last night? /

Glancing at the note that Shen Yunshu held up, Li Xiang smiled helplessly and waved his hand.

"It's just that I stayed up late to watch a movie last night and accidentally stayed up too late. Do not worry. ”

Of course, this is a lie, in fact, all night last night, Li Xiang was troubled by the other side of Shen Yunshu that he saw before, and he didn't fall asleep in a daze until dawn. After calculation, Li Xiang's sleep time may be less than two hours. With such a short break, it's no surprise that dark circles will come out of the eyes.

Li Xiang looked at Shen Yunshu, who was thin and petite in front of him and looked completely harmless to humans and animals, and even wondered if what he saw last night was real.

Could it be that I am too sleepy and hallucinating?

Regarding Li Xiang's statement, Shen Yunshu believed it without any doubts. So she took the pen and continued to write in the notebook:

/ Owner, today I want to switch to harmonica playing, is that okay? /

Li Xiang yawned and said indifferently:

"It doesn't matter, it's up to you what instrument you use, after all, I don't know anything about music. But you need to pay attention to the feedback from your customers, after all, we are a service industry, and if they don't like it, then you may need to change it. ”

Shen Yunshu, who had Li Xiang's consent, seemed very pleased, and she immediately took out the harmonica she had been carrying with her.

The long, somewhat wafer-like harmonica was wrapped by Shen Yunshu in a delicate handkerchief, and the outside was tightly fastened with a thin rope, and the handkerchief wrapped around the harmonica was unwrapped, and the metal shell of the harmonica was still as bright as if it had just left the factory.

In the wandering life that Shen Yunshu has been living since he returned to the present world, he sometimes doesn't even bother to take care of his appearance, but the musical instruments he carries with him have always been well protected. Not only the harmonica, but also the other two national musical instruments that Shen Yunshu has been carrying, Xiao and Dizi, are also well maintained.

I can't take care of myself, but I've never treated the instrument harshly. Shen Yunshu's love for music can be seen.

Such a pure person shouldn't be a bad person, right?

Li Xiang looked at Shen Yunshu, who was bowing his head and carefully wiping the surface of the harmonica, thinking so in his heart.

And last night, that "Shen Yunshu" had every chance to launch a fatal blow to himself unconsciously, but in the end, he didn't do it, just asked himself a few questions. It can be seen that Shen Yunshu, who is not like Shen Yunshu, is also not a bad person.

"Dissociative identity disorder", also known as "multiple personality", is a mental illness similar to Shen Yunshu's phenomenon that Li Xiang discovered in his investigation last night.

This is a special mental illness that creates a cognitive disorder about one's identity.

This kind of mental illness is analogous to the fact that there are multiple souls or personalities with different identities living in the same person's body. These personalities take turns controlling the patient's body. When different personalities are controlled, patients will exhibit completely different personality traits. For example, a normal man may suddenly become a sissy, an introvert may suddenly learn to socialize with others, and so on.

Memories are not generally shared between different personalities. There are even times when they don't recognize each other's existence.

This symptom is usually seen in people who have experienced unimaginable pain, and the ratio of men to women in patients has been documented to be 1:9, possibly because girls are more likely to be violated than men. It is psychologically thought that this particular mental illness may help patients tolerate bad experiences. Or help patients cope with certain difficulties. According to surveys, many patients are still constantly developing new personalities, and the emergence of these personalities often corresponds to certain dilemmas that patients face in real life.

Studies of one patient have shown that the patient's first sub-personality appears when the patient is six years old, and that he is a very elegant, calm and rational person who is able to control himself well. The reason for the emergence of this personality was that his mother stabbed his father;

The patient's second personality is a feminine and sociable person, especially a promiscuous person, like an amorous bee. The reason for the emergence of this personality was that his mother liked to dress him up as a girl when he was a child.

The patient's third personality appears at the age of 10, a ruthless thug who appears after the patient has been beaten by some thugs, and has since appeared whenever the patient is in a similar predicament.

So according to this logic, the "ghost" I saw last night with incomparable action and a vague desire to protect the weak personality of "Shen Yunshu" is also a sub-personality produced by Shen Yunshu in order to protect himself?

Has Shen Yunshu had any bad experiences in the past?

Li Xiang didn't know the answer to this question, and he didn't plan to ask.

And what he didn't know was that he had already touched the truth of the matter by mistake.

Looking back on Shen Yunshu's past life. Before the turning point of the car accident of his parents at the age of nine, Shen Yunshu was just a normal family with a happy and loving family.

In such an educational background, "Shen Yunshu" was naturally formed. This is a cute girl who is relatively outgoing and sociable, quite optimistic. If life runs normally according to this trajectory, I am afraid that Shen Yunshu will grow into a very optimistic, cheerful and confident woman.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, when his parents and himself suffered a car accident, his parents died on the spot, and his vocal cords were damaged. This is already a serious blow to the child. After being discharged from the hospital, life at the uncle's house was very difficult, and the two guardians did not fulfill their IDE support obligations, and sometimes they would punch and kick Shen Yunshu because of some trivial things. In this case, Shen Yunshu's emotions appeared seriously avoidance. As a result, there are two personalities opposite to the optimistic and kind Shen Yunshu in the past, one is the introverted and silent "Shen Yunshu", and the other is a very aggressive and protective "ghost". And the original positive and optimistic personality of the master has been hidden in the deepest part of the soul since then.

By chance, Shen Yunshu's soul entered the world of One Piece in a near-death state. And because of the use of soul power by the Brooke Yellow Spring Fruit, he was attracted to Brooke's side.

Brooke was wandering in the Devil's Triangle. Out of the need to relieve loneliness, Brooke continued to feed Shen Yunshu with his soul power after discovering this weak soul.

In Shen Yunshu's soul, the more aggressive, stronger and more active "ghost" obtained the vast majority of the soul power transmitted by Brooke, as well as the swordsmanship knowledge taught by Brooke. Professor Brooke's musical knowledge was accepted by the introverted and silent "Shen Yunshu".

Since then, music and swordsmanship have become the new characteristics of the two personalities of "Shen Yunshu" and "Ghost".

In the world of One Piece, there is no shortage of plundering and fighting of Chiguoguo, and the "ghost" who is aggressive and takes protecting the weak "Shen Yunshu" as his vocation is more suitable for the environment of One Piece, and therefore has been trained stronger.

And when returning to the real world, the living environment in this world is much better than that of the One Piece world, although sometimes there will be the same malice of others, but due to the constraints of the law, at least such things will not happen on the surface.

The ghost was born from the beginning to protect "Shen Yunshu", and after she was not needed, the ghost took a back seat, so in this world, Shen Yunshu generally shows that relatively introverted and gentle personality. And when life or interests are threatened, such as after being targeted by ill-intentioned people, ghosts will unknowingly appear, relying on their combat skills and assassination methods to nip the crisis in the cradle.

In the One Piece world, the "ghost" learned a high level of combat skills, especially assassination skills, and the ghost was skeptical of Li Xiang's behavior because he had experienced various battles that "Shen Yunshu" had not experienced and some things that reflected the dark side of human nature, so he gained control of his body after Shen Yunshu fell asleep in the middle of the night and launched a test against Li Xiang.

Since the soul of the ghost is stronger than Shen Yunshu, the ghost can transmit what it wants to say through the resonance between them in a manner similar to telepathy. This is the reason why Li Xiang heard "Shen Yunshu", a person whose vocal cords were seriously damaged, speak last night.

Under the influence of the strong soul, the "ghost" can use the fluctuations of the soul to assist the change in the number of pulses to determine whether the other party is lying. This is also the reason why the ghost had to hold down Li Xiang's carotid artery yesterday.

Although the "ghost" is relatively extreme, at least he is a principled person at least not a pure bad person. No suspicions were found in Li Xiang's temptation, and after making sure that Li Xiang was not a threat to Shen Yunshu, the "ghost" gave up control of his body.

Pushing open the door of the store, the cool air of the summer morning entered the store, which also made Li Xiang, who was a little confused due to lack of sleep, feel excited and wake up all of a sudden.

"What should I do for breakfast today?"

Li Xiang looked at the refrigerator containing the ingredients that had been replenished yesterday afternoon and seemed a little crowded, and fell into the happiness of difficulty in choosing.

The threat to his own life from the "ghost" was completely forgotten by Li Xiang.

Li Xiang, who was still analyzing Shen Yunshu's mental situation, didn't realize that like Shen Yunshu, his current mentality was completely different from ordinary people.

If the experience of the real world and the experience of the One Piece world are added together, the impact on Shen Yunshu is to strengthen the differences between different personalities of multiple personalities. makes the symptoms more serious, so for Li Xiang, the previous experience of multiple worlds is to make his view of the world gradually close to "nothingness".

He began to look at some emotions that were originally based on impulses and emotions with an objective attitude, especially love.

At the same time, these experiences made Li Xiang gradually become an alternative idealist, and the reason for all his actions was his own feelings. He can give up his studies in order to enjoy the life he wants—of course, studies are no longer of much importance to him—or he can leave Shen Yunshu, who is obviously very suspicious, because of his own perceptions, and even turn the page without caring about the direct threat to his life.

However, there is one thing in common between the two personalities of Li Xiang and Shen Yunshu, that is, both sides adhere to some insurmountable principles.

Shen Yunshu, who loves music but is poor, actually has many ways to make his life better, as long as he gives up some dignity "appropriately", but even if he doesn't know that there is a "ghost" in his body that has always protected him. Shen Yunshu still never accepted other people's charity for granted, and Shen Yunshu even recorded Li Xiang's help in his notebook, hoping to report it one day.

Although Li Xiang has a lot of experience in the other world, he is not arrogant because of this, although he has become a so-called "strong man" that is difficult for ordinary people to reach in a sense, he still insists on maintaining due etiquette to treat people with courtesy, keeping his promises, and almost never preaching to people with his special experience. Maintain your own character. Even in the utopian world where dead people are extremely normal, there has never been an indiscriminate killing of innocents

Although the "ghost" who appeared in order to protect Shen Yunshu was proficient in combat, and the energy of her soul far exceeded that of the "Shen Yunshu" personality, she always insisted on her identity as a guardian and did not replace her. At the same time, there has been no indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Obviously, as long as she used force, she could crush Li Xiang's neck, but she didn't do it.

Some people say that true courage is to believe in the "good" part of people's hearts after understanding that most of the world is selfish and most of the evil is man-made.

The god of fetters chose Li Xiang and Shen Yunshu, in a sense, he took a fancy to this.

In the kitchen, Li Xiang took out a few eggs from the refrigerator and beat them into a bowl, turned the chef's iron fist to break up the yolk and egg white of the egg with chopsticks, and added it to a pan with oil on the bottom and fried until golden brown.

/ What to eat this morning? /（o=^?ェ?）o

"My mind is a bit blurry today, so I'm going to do something simple and effortless. That's it, somen noodles. ”

Li Xiang raised a bag of dried noodles in his hand.

/ It's a bit like pasta at noon yesterday! /（?? ω?? ）?

"Yes, but the taste of the two noodles is completely different. Pasta has a relatively hard and chewy texture, while somen noodles are basically very soft once cooked. When eating, pasta is usually mixed with sauce and eaten, but somen noodles are generally used to make noodle soup. Therefore, pasta is generally used as a staple food for lunch and dinner, and if you eat it in the morning, noodle soup is more suitable for warming the stomach. ”

Shen Yunshu leaned on the table with his arms as support, staring curiously at the work in Li Xiang's hands, while Li Xiang carried out the cooking process indifferently, and sometimes brought soup and half-finished food to Shen Yunshu to taste.

In front of Li Xiang, Shen Yunshu began to become cheerful. And Li Xiang has gradually changed.

Such a change was not expected by the two, but there seemed to be nothing bad about it.
