Chapter 156: Chapter 68 The Ghost Claims a Life

Gao Xin’s subconscious memory was limitless, but his mind wasn’t... Stuffing a bunch of knowledge in short term would affect his brain.

The old man’s memories of several decades were three times his age!

This was probably also a form of self-protection of consciousness, the reason why people dream as if they have experienced a long time, even decades, in their dreams, but wake up remembering only sporadic fragments.

"Kid, didn’t your subconscious also materialize your Aunt Yao?" Gao Jiaoji suddenly asked.

Gao Xin scratched his head, "Eh? No? Right, where’s Aunt Yao? Why didn’t my subconscious materialize her?"

While he was puzzled, suddenly the surface of the water splashed!

Yao Junyan emerged from the pond, throwing her arms wide and shouting, "Hey, little Chongguang."

"Ouch..." both Gao Xin and Gao Jiaoji jumped in fright.

Only Silver Hand remained unmoved, squatting by the shore, merely giving a cold smile.

"Hahaha, did you miss me?" Yao Junyan guffawed, holding her belly.

Gao Xin’s eyes welled up, and he rushed forward, "Aunt Yao!"

Yao Junyan pinched Gao Xin’s face and pulled him away, "How many times have I told you, don’t just hug me when we meet, how old are you now?"

"And why aren’t you wearing clothes?"

Gao Xin hurriedly submerged into the water, scratching his head with a grin, "My clothes were all burnt up."

Gao Jiaoji then exclaimed, "I say... can you not always appear so startlingly? My heart really can’t take it."

Saying this, he suddenly began to cough violently, covering his hand, and coughed up blood.

Gao Xin was terribly worried, realizing that the father his mind had materialized was still in the final days of his life.

"Get better!" Gao Xin reached out his hand.

But Gao Jiaoji didn’t get any better and continued to cough violently.

"Eh?" Gao Xin was stunned and immediately looked towards Silver Hand.

There was Silver Hand, squatting nicely, suddenly stuffing a large hammer in his hand, with a large travel bag on his back.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" As Silver Hand spoke, his muscles swelled and his weight doubled.

"So, it’s time to fight, is it?"

Gao Xin hastily waved his hands, "No, no, no, it’s none of your business, just keep squatting there."

"Tsk, I won’t squat." Silver Hand snorted coldly, stood up, and paced back and forth, spinning the hammer.

Gao Xin looked at Aunt Yao and asked strangely, "Why can’t I change you guys?"

"What exactly are you right now?"

Yao Junyan spread her hands, "Tupa."

"Tupa? Is that what you learned from the old lama you visited back then?" Once reminded, Gao Xin immediately recalled everything in Yao Junyan’s memory about Tupa.

Tupa is a transliteration, actually meaning imaginary companion.

Imaginary companions possess autonomous memory, ability to act independently, and are only visible and interactive to the fantasizer.

Naturally, they are difficult to form. According to Yao Junyan, one must meditate for a long time, constructing everything about a person in one’s mind, from appearance to voice, all the way down to lifestyle habits, in meticulous detail.

Only then is there a certain probability of truly seeing this person.

Naturally, Gao Xin had already possessed this ability long ago, when initially at ’the Meat Warehouse Epiphany,’ he even effortlessly created various bizarre illusions.

"Understood, all three of you are my imaginary companions, I’m even stronger, can mold at will, instantly form, without needing meditation. Even you can hurt me; if you stab me, I really would get hurt, thereby completing the imaginary training."

"But... I can change Silver Hand, why can’t I change you?"

Yao Junyan pointed at Silver Hand and laughed, "He is an imaginary companion completely molded by your primary personality, of course you can do whatever you want with him."

"But your dad and I are more special, created by your subconscious, in our most real forms."

"Since you have our complete memories, you can materialize the most real, most complete images of us in your mind."

"Which means, what constitutes us is ’our real-life memories,’ not ’how you see us’..."

"If you really want to change that, you have to control your subconscious."

Gao Xin pondered, "How do I control it?"

"How would I know? That’s your subconscious, your dad and I are just part of it," said Yao Junyan, folding her arms across her chest.

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, considering only for a moment before saying, "I understand."

Saying this, he buried his hand in the water, searching for something.

Then suddenly he lifted, pulling out a box, and after opening it, inside were various medications.

He picked up one of the bottles, handed it to Gao Jiaoji, "Dad, take your medicine. You once said, if there was money, a Class C immune drug could cure you, here, this bottle is it."

Gao Jiaoji took it, injected himself, and soon his cough calmed down.

"Haha, brilliant. You’ve been clever since you were little," Yao Junyan laughed, this was deceiving oneself.

The conscious mind deceiving the subconscious...

Gao Xin shrugged and said, "You and my dad are parts of my subconscious, interacting with you is interacting with my subconscious."

"On the other hand, you can also help deceive me. I’ll hand all the medications I know to you two elders, later on I’ll drink plain water, watching you pour the medicine into the bowl, then I drink it, just like it’s real..."

His False Words Cast Heart advanced significantly through this brush with death.

Heart Power also grew stronger from envisioning the Great Spirit.

Now the mental world he constructed was so real it was shocking. Each could act autonomously, even help think through problems, give suggestions, how incredibly real?

Although it couldn’t affect the objective world, it could influence him, Gao Xin.

Yao Junyan exclaimed, "You, my child, have indeed turned one into three pure ones!"

She gave a name to Gao Xin’s method.

Silver Hand couldn’t help saying, "Am I not a person?"
