Chapter 307: Chapter 274: The Truth Revealed!

Yang Tao cleared his throat and told Jiang Xiao with a profound tone.

"Actually, everyone in this hospital is just one person."

"Oh."

"..." Yang Tao.

That’s it?

You’re just going to respond with an "Oh"?

"Don’t you want to ask more, get curious, or delve into the story’s background?"

"Sorry, I just don’t have that kind of curiosity."

By this time, the clock on the wall had already pointed past five in the morning.

Jiang Xiao was about to leave this place.

As for the rest, he didn’t want to waste his time on it.

Time was tight, and the tasks were heavy.

Just being alive was already exhausting, he didn’t want to listen to all that nonsense.

"Actually, it mainly involves a ’Deceitful Device.’ Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troublesome."

Nani?

Deceitful Device!

If you bring that up, I’m definitely not sleepy anymore, meow!

Jiang Xiao, who had planned to catch a quick nap, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Spill it, quickly!"

"Well, here it is."

Yang Tao mysteriously pulled out a box from her pocket that looked like a cellphone.

"This Deceitful Device—’Soul Separation’—can strip away a person’s soul. You can think of Wuliang Hospital as a kind of spiritual world."

Soul Separation?

The name of this Deceitful Device is seriously high-end, woof!

At first, Jiang Xiao thought the Deceitful Devices were just this bead, that bead, whatnot.

"So, you’re all soul bodies that have been stripped away?"

Yang Tao nodded but then shook her head.

"Half right, I’m not, but they are, and moreover, they are all one person’s soul."

One person’s soul?

Does one person have that many souls?

Unless...

Oh, I see.

If it were any other field of knowledge, Jiang Xiao might not have caught on so quickly.

But when it comes to the mental realm... not to brag, but he did have some say in it.

"Ji Xiang has multiple personalities, and all the people in this hospital represent each of his separate personalities, right?"

Yo?

Not bad!

Yang Tao gave Jiang Xiao an approving look.

"That’s exactly right."

Perhaps because Jiang Xiao figured out the mystery, Yang Tao lost her desire to speak at length.

So the lengthy explanation she had planned ended abruptly.

As everyone knows.

Soul bodies that have been separated can’t be killed.

Especially if the [original body] isn’t dead yet.

The reason Ji Xiang can maintain his memories in the [cycle of rebirth] is because he is the [ego personality].

Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement.

He, too, had a say in this.

After all, there was more than one entity living in his own head.

As the [ego personality], Jiang Xiao might not be as powerful as the team leader and Sister Bao’er combined, but the ego is the ego. Setting aside the power difference and the fact that they could take over his body at any time, the final say was still in his own hands.

After all, with multiple personalities, they are the [separate other personalities]. What business is it of mine?

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

I don’t have multiple personalities; mine is a gift bestowed by Kaidan!

To this day, Jiang Xiao’s view of himself as a normal person had not changed in the slightest.

"Moreover, the path Ji Xiang has taken to escape the cycle is mistaken."

He hoped to kill everyone and, if he still couldn’t break free from the cycle of fate in the end, to kill himself.

That’s right.

But the difficulty of leaving this place is much higher.

These people don’t just have to die, but they must die [at the same time] to break free from the Deceitful Device’s confinement.

However, what Ji Xiang doesn’t know is that what awaits him after leaving here isn’t a bright future, but the judgment of justice.

"What about you, then? What are you?" Jiang Xiao interrupted Yang Tao’s words.

"Me?" Yang Tao scoffed: "Well, that leads us to my identity!"

"Though I am but humble, my real title is none other than the five-year veteran, Du Lala, from Florida’s Weird Administration Bureau, specifically the Time-Space Administration, assigned to handle time-space Kaidan incidents!"

Jiang Xiao: ...

You have such a resounding title, but that strength...

Yang Tao’s face turned red.

"It’s different! Because my task was related to the Deceitful Device and souls... Ah, you wouldn’t understand if I explained; in short, I had to erase my memory to be able to come here."

"My memory will only be restored when there is only one person left in Dangwuliang Hospital."

Yang Tao’s identity as a prostitute.

It was actually created based on the subconscious personality of Ji Xiang that had never appeared, molded after the character of Miao Hui when she was young.

All to let Yang Tao successfully sneak into Ji Xiang’s "Spirit World."

Erase her own memory, then disguise herself as the young mother from Ji Xiang’s memories?

Hiss?

This feels kind of perverted.

Way too wild!

As for the mission, Yang Tao didn’t hide anything.

Jiang Xiao looked at the time, it was still early, so he treated it like listening to a story.

"As for why she had to find a way to kill off the excess personalities, only to take the last one out, it wasn’t to help him treat a mental disorder."

In actuality, Ji Xiang was already in his thirties.

And this guy was a serial psychopathic killer.

The security basket: In fact, it’s one of the personalities that emerged from Ji Xiang’s character as he grew older.

Cruel, gambling-prone, with severe mental issues...

The dean represented greed.

Qin Shou represented harming lives.

The dean’s wife represented unrestrained lust.

The chef represented gluttony.

Old Sun came from Ji Xiang’s "fantasy" about his own grandfather.

Anyway, the rest of the personalities were all Ji Xiang himself, the logic completely consistent.

That’s why everyone on Blue Star was completely baffled by the utterly different stories from Xiao Ya and Jiang Xiao’s sides.

...

Xiao Qin... perhaps represented the only bit of "innocence" deep in Ji Xiang’s heart?

"The cause of the event was as such."

The grown-up Ji Xiang killed many people and was arrested.

But because there were mental issues, so...

As everyone knows, if a mentally ill person commits murder, the exemption is ridiculously big.

It’s very difficult to convict a mentally ill person, at least in Du Lala’s world it’s very difficult.

Therefore.

The local supreme court had the Weird Administration Bureau step in.

Using the "Deceitful Device Soul Separation," they separated all of Ji Xiang’s personalities.

Then they sent someone from the administration into Ji Xiang’s spirit world.

Choose the good ones to follow, and kill the bad ones!

The best result was to kill all the negative personalities and keep the more benevolent ones.

This was tantamount to saving Ji Xiang, a person who had become corrupted.

Xiao Qin was undoubtedly chosen from the beginning as the best candidate for salvation.

But because of the difficulty.

Even though the administration was powerful, to stuff a completely unrelated person into Ji Xiang’s memories was nearly impossible.

So they then asked a master to hypnotize Du Lala, an employee of the administration, turning her into the "young mother" in Ji Xiang’s memories.

Through this, she successfully blended into Ji Xiang’s spirit world.

But it was also because of this.

That the mission’s difficulty was ridiculously high.

Not to mention killing the bad ones in Ji Xiang’s spirit world, even self-preservation was wishful thinking!

Because you couldn’t expect Yang Tao, an outsider, to defeat Ji Xiang in his own spirit world, could you?

Especially since Yang Tao had no external memories!

She only knew that she was a promiscuous courtesan...

That’s why the mission kept failing repeatedly.

Moreover, Yang Tao, due to "special" reasons, often attracted Ji Xiang’s particular attention...

Like the Yang Tao from Xiao Ya’s side, who was stared down by Ji Xiang until she felt a chill in her heart.

Resulting in Du Lala dying over and over again...

And often she was among the first few to die!

So the reincarnation mentioned by Ji Xiang was actually just the continuous extraction of his psyche by the outside world...

Yang Tao... or rather, Du Lala said up to here.

Then everyone in the live broadcast room suddenly saw the light.

Up to now, all the puzzles were explained!

So...

You guys were actually fighting it out in someone’s dream?

————————

Oh dear!

I’ve been feeling a bit restless with my midlife crisis recently.

Actually, the story shouldn’t have ended so soon, I could have detailed the rest of the personalities.

Like the bearded guy, or the story between the dean’s wife and the chef on Xiao Ya’s side.

Or the outside world, or making the details of the story richer and fuller.

But with the plummeting of updates, I guess you don’t enjoy reading this kind, so I plan to end this instance promptly.

I’ve already been mocked in the group as the worst subscription starter on Qidian[Of course, my personal ability indeed needs improvement].

But the ending is not bad after all, and the logic is barely consistent... right?

Mainly because these kinds of Kaidan-type stories are challenging to conceive with logic, especially for someone without a backlog like me, it’s even harder.

For the next instance, I plan to write something tested by the market like "Mom’s Notes," but it definitely won’t be the same as those template stories that have already been written, haha.
