When Luther's personality was vacant, any human that was touched by [Vacant Position] would be forcefully pulled into his body and become one of his personalities. After becoming a personality, once they were expelled by Luyan, they would die without any ability to resist.
If that was the case, Luyan's arrogance was not without reason. Unlike the traditional combat method, the abilities she developed could work together to form a closed loop of power. Theoretically speaking, she had the ability and the conditions to put any human under her absolute control.
Octo was right. God was really unfair to humans.
Luyan looked as if she had overcome a difficult obstacle in a game. Her face was pale and flushed, brimming with the pure joy of escaping death.
"It's unbelievable, isn't it?"
She let go of her hand and got up. She was not in a hurry to get out of the water. Instead, she sat in the lake, her eyes shining brightly. She looked more like a satisfied child than ever before.
"I know that, but my ability is just that … blessed by the heavens. Look at your expression, are you starting to feel that something is wrong? This ability is especially cruel to you Enlightened Ones because your real body will be dissolved into fake blood and fake flesh. It's much more difficult to achieve a complete body than it is for us, who are just personalities from the start. "
Lin Sanjiu was speechless, as if she had forgotten how to speak. Bliss quickly got up and held her arm. Her face was even paler than Lin Sanjiu's.
"Miss Lover," Luyan glanced at her and snorted disapprovingly, "Do you know what I hate the most about you? No matter what you've done, just do it. Don't hesitate afterwards and regret it later. You didn't want to die, so you stopped her. What's wrong with that? You even helped me. Even though you didn't mean it, at least I'm not mad at you. You should be grateful. "
"You said one minute!"
Bliss was angry, which was rare for her. Her snowy cheeks were slightly flushed, "When I stopped her, your [Vacant Position] wasn't ready yet!"
"Both of you are so silly." Luyan giggled. It was not a mocking laugh, it was the laugh of an innocent little girl who was proud of her own cleverness. "Why did you start counting the time according to the minute I said? Truth be told, I've been preparing since I entered the instance dungeon. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to ensure my own safety. Then, I can activate my ability. "
She looked at Lin Sanjiu again. When she saw that Lin Sanjiu was still in a state of shock and disbelief, she stood up from the water.
"Let's go back." Luyan ordered the other personalities. "We have a new companion today. Remember to welcome her later."
Bliss was the only one who did not move.
She did not look at Lin Sanjiu or Luyan. Her head was slightly lowered. Her fingers that were gripping Lin Sanjiu's arm had turned white from the force of her grip. She was trembling all over, which made her look even more like a red cloud. Luyan did not rush her. Instead, she shot a glance at her before turning her attention back to Lin Sanjiu.
"What do you think? Don't you want to go in and see what the dark world looks like?"
The joy on Luyan's face slowly faded, and he became expressionless again, like a sculpted plaster mask. "… Our personalities cannot see each other, and we cannot see the outside world. We do not know what we rely on to survive, and we do not know why we are alive. We can only float hopelessly in the darkness. You will soon see the dark room that Septimus described to you. However, there is something different. I can't feel anything in there. I can smell the scent of the trees, the coolness of the water, and the wind. I can't feel anything in there. It's like a person who is buried underground but can't die. It's like your consciousness is trapped in a vegetative body. "
The little girl shuddered. "I … I don't mind even if I kill you. But when I think about sending you in there … I feel guilty." She sighed. She did not feel guilty when she caused the death of others, but this was the first time she felt pity for Lin Sanjiu. "I won't let you live in there for too long. No one deserves to be exiled in that darkness … "
Lin Sanjiu raised her head slowly.
She was in a state of shock that she had never experienced before. Even her anger seemed to have faded. Her mind was blank. She only heard about half of Luyan's words. She did not have a chance to recover her Higher Consciousness, so Mrs. Manas was gone. Otherwise, she could ask Mrs. Manas about her current state.
Why didn't she become a personality?
Yes, no matter how proud and happy Luyan was, no matter how much she thought Lin Sanjiu was already in her hands, Lin Sanjiu could feel one thing clearly. She did not become one of her personalities.
Of course, she really didn't know how it felt to be a personality. However, after Luyan announced that he would be waiting for her, there was a moment when she tried to enter Luther's body. She planned to jump out after entering Luther's body and grab Luyan. She wanted to kill him before he could expel her from his body.
But she did not succeed.
'Is it because I have just become a personality, so I'm not very flexible?'
She allowed Bliss to support her and tried a few more times in silence. Logically speaking, this should be one of the instincts of a self-taught personality, but she did not feel any difference. She was still herself. She was exactly the same as she was a few minutes ago.
However, she did not dare to think too deeply about whether she was the same as she was a few years ago.
Luyan had made it very clear that as long as there was a vacant seat, any human that was touched by the ability would become a personality. Lin Sanjiu was touched by the ability, and this young lady would not make a mistake when it came to the vacant seat. There was only one logical explanation left.
Since when was she no longer a 'human'?
Didn't she expel the part of the genome that Nuwa planted in her body a long time ago?
Lin Sanjiu gently moved Bliss's cold fingers away and slowly stood up from the water. Luyan was no longer afraid of her now. She let Lin Sanjiu stand in front of her. Perhaps the young lady was reminded of the Dark World that she did not want to recall, her face was numb. She kept kicking the water with her feet as if reminding herself that she still had a sense of touch.
"I … I became a personality just like that?" Lin Sanjiu asked softly.
"Yes," Luyan did not look at her. Her gaze fell on the small house at the rental spot.
"At first, I thought of killing you and turning you into a puppet. Hmm, there's no difference between the two … But I didn't expect you to become one of the personalities. If you'd rather die, it's not like I can't satisfy you … After my plan is completed, I'll set you free. "
"What's your plan?" Lin Sanjiu stood still. "I know why you killed Marcie. But why did you kill Luther? Why did you kill me? I couldn't tell you before, but you can tell me now, right? "
"Wait a minute."
Luyan suddenly turned around and pulled herself out of the conversation as if there was no one else around. She climbed to the shore and walked to the dark window of the small house. She looked inside. Suddenly, a helpless voice rang out from the pocket dimension speaker. It was probably someone who had never seen something like this before, "What … What are you doing?"
"I've been curious since just now. It's all her fault for dragging me along. I've never seen the thing in charge of the pocket dimension … Hmm, you're not a human, nor are you an animal, "Luyan said as she leaned into the small house. Her upper body almost disappeared into the window. She seemed to be feeling around," Come out. Let me have a look. What are you? I really want to know. "
She had just turned a person into a personality, so everything was still up in the air. Anything could happen. However, Luyan's priority now seemed to be to take a good look at the host of the pocket dimension.
The pocket dimension creature seemed to be driven into a corner by Lin Sanjiu. It panted heavily through the loudspeaker. Seeing that the pocket dimension creature was not coming out, Luyan suddenly retracted his body. He turned to Lin Sanjiu and shouted, "Hey, come over here and blow this room up!"
Lin Sanjiu's face darkened as she approached Luyan from behind.
"... Blow it up? Aren't you afraid of the consequences? "
"I'm not afraid," Luyan rapped her fingers on the windowsill. She glanced at Lin Sanjiu, "Even if there are consequences, the puppet outside won't just watch us die. Quick, let me see it! "
"Then, tell me, why did you kill Luther?"
Luyan sighed helplessly.
"I wanted to go to 'Shrimpy's ESP World', but he wanted to go to 'Old Black and White Movies of the 50s'."
Lin Sanjiu thought she had heard it wrong.
"... You want to go to different worlds?" Lin Sanjiu found it a little funny, "Just because of this?"
"You don't understand! I want to go to that world! "
Luyan jerked his head around and screamed, "I've said it before. Everything you're used to, the wind, the soil, the water, the blue sky … they're all things that I — all my personalities can't experience when they're in his body. Without a complete body, even the feeling is hazy and weakened by several layers! No matter how hard I try to experience them, the sweetness I taste is fainter than yours. The colors I see are more blurry than yours. How can people like you, who are born with everything, understand how I feel when I touch the fur of an animal for the first time? "
Lin Sanjiu's anger exploded. Her bright eyes and smiling face were replaced by dry and bloodshot eyes.
"I just want to get rid of other people's control over me. I just want to be a person who can control myself. I just want the things that you had when you were born! Is that too much? Why do you have to stop me? My parents, my friends, and my school are as real as your memories, but they never existed. What about me? What am I? What is the point of living like this? Didn't you ask me what my plan is? Let me tell you, it's very simple. I want to live as a real person without any worries. I want to go where I want to go. I don't want to be forced to follow other people and listen to other people anymore. Do you know how hard it is to become a complete body? Without any external help, it's almost a lifetime. Why do I have to be controlled by others for the rest of my life? Even if I can only live as a human for one day, it's better than this fake and meaningless life! "
She almost choked on her words. "I-I have never asked to be a personality. Is this fair to me? Isn't Luther the one who brought me to this world but doesn't let me experience this world? I just want to be free — "
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes.
"... Luther has never asked for a split personality."
