Chapter 467: Chapter 309. The Truth About Personality (8000 Word Goal Achieved!)_2

Pale vengeful spirits opened their eyes, eye sockets bulging without any trace of whites, scowling venomously at Beichuan Si.

Gnarled, twisted ghost claws had somehow crawled to the nape of Beichuan Si’s neck, and it seemed that just a slight effort would end his life.

"Guest, you seem to have not grasped the situation even now."

The maniacal laughter subsided, replaced by Shikizaki Haru’s calm voice: "Here, I can kill you without effort. The reason my real body hasn’t acted is just because, seeing you’ve passed the levels, a rare bout of mercy has led me to let you go."

Shikizaki Haru’s voice gradually turned insane.

It laughed eerily, its ghostly claws seemingly tightening their grip.

Around them, the vengeful spirits were restless, as if ready to surge forward and tear Beichuan Si apart.

Facing everything before him, Beichuan Si’s face remained dismissive.

"A rare mercy?"

He echoed Shikizaki Haru’s words, then shook his head: "Wrong, it’s not you who magnanimously let us go, but Shikizaki Haru who did."

"I am Shikizaki Haru!!!"

The other party shrieked, their violent emotions fluctuating wildly.

Beichuan Si glanced at the loudspeaker, then a fresh gleam of cold light flickered from beneath his wrist!

Pfft!!!

A continuous sound of flesh being sliced echoed!

Dark liquid was everywhere.

Beichuan Si slowly sheathed Jian Ding.

Behind him, the whispers had faded, shadows shattered, the solid ghost hands amputated, and the spirits all showed a ’baffled’ look of being beheaded.

Beichuan Si did not intend to show off his strength; it was just that the malice-filled gaze of the surrounding spirits made him disinclined to indulge in conversation; he simply drew Jian Ding and did away with them all.

"You are not Shikizaki Haru."

In the opponent’s silence, Beichuan Si declared word by word, "You are merely a pure evil thought that has split from the personality of Shikizaki Haru."

"It wasn’t you who let us go either, but your primary personality, who, as the host, also has the right to control the spiritual realm."

Indeed, why did they find the clue, and the vengeful spirits secretly manipulating the spiritual realm let them go?

Logically, vengeful spirits are just a collection of human resentments; such a thing doesn’t even comprehend the concept of ’credibility.’

The opponent could’ve totally ignored the agreement and not let them leave.

So why did it act that way?

The answer was quite simple.

The main personality of Shikizaki Haru was still present; it was the conscience hidden deep in his heart that made him do it.

Silence.

A prolonged silence.

After a long, long time, a cruel, cold laugh came from the loudspeaker: "It seems you understand me well? To be precise... the other me?"

The opponent did not deny it, which essentially meant acknowledgment.

"Shikizaki Haru is timid by nature and could never bring himself to kill anyone. As you said, he is innately a weak but kind person."

If not weak, would he have been crushed by various pressures as he was?

If not for kindness, why would he assume all his wife’s debts?

Even in the toughest times, Shikizaki Haru never thought of abandoning his daughter, Shikizaki Chuncai.

"When I was kind, they bullied me, when I turned evil, they feared me. There’s no such thing as harboring evil thoughts as you mentioned; he and I are one and the same, I am the truest expression from the depths of his heart!"

The second personality spoke ominously: "You think Shikizaki Haru smiles at people out of politeness; no, that’s incorrect, he has always loathed everyone, with no intention of forming any associations!"

"Do you think he wanted to shoulder all that debt? He actually wished he could have killed that woman!"

"Is the honest and sincere facade he presents outwardly the truth then?"

Its tone suddenly plummeted several degrees!

"Then let me ask you, when the psychologist saw me, his psychological evaluation of me, was that real, too?"

"That was just acting! Convincing acting! Even convincing to oneself! It made one believe they were a good person! It made one think of oneself as weak, kind, always wearing a retreated smile as a pathetic good guy! But was he really a good person? Was Shikizaki Haru really a good person?"

It kept questioning, its voice growing increasingly frantic, and finally it burst into uproarious laughter:

"Haha! It’s all lies! You would never guess, the true culprit behind that string of safety accidents back then—"

"I know," Beichuan Si interrupted, his eyes twinkling, "You actually wanted to tell me that Shikizaki Haru secretly tampered with the equipment to cause those safety accidents back then, didn’t you?"

The other party was rendered speechless again.

In the ensuing silence, Beichuan Si continued, "I always found it strange, by all logic, it’s nonsensical for a park that had just opened for a month to experience safety accidents."

"Not to mention Jishi Park then closed for renovation for one to two months afterward, so the probability of safety accidents occurring should have been even lower, right? I don’t believe that when that popular live streamer rode the scary amusement devices, staff were not carefully checking multiple times but instead allowed incorrect safety operations to take place."

Yes, the reason was actually quite simple.

The series of safety accidents at Jishi Park were all caused by Shikizaki Haru.

As the person in charge of the park, he could easily infiltrate the park and knew exactly where he could sabotage without drawing attention.

"Back in January, you had already started to cast a shadow in the heart of Shikizaki Haru. As a shadow, to replace Shikizaki Haru was very difficult. This is also why Shikizaki Haru said this during the first psychological observation."

Beichuan Si pulled out the psychological observation report from his backpack and read out loud, word by word:

"I always have this peculiar urge, to knock down the gathering crowds with a punch, to feel uncomfortable at the sound of children’s laughter."

"And this was actually your doing behind the scenes. To replace Shikizaki Haru, you had to increase his psychological pressure, but his pressure was easing day by day with the help of antidepressants. But at this time—"

"In March, Shikizaki Haru’s wife left him, taking a large sum of money. This dealt a heavy blow to Shikizaki Haru, and you finally were able to influence his actions in reality. You tampered with the Cosmic Claw ride, caused the safety accident, and made him take on the responsibility... His pressure increased, and the things you could do became more."

Yes, this was the entire truth of the incident.

Everything was done by Shikizaki Haru’s second personality, all in order to suppress the primary personality.

And in fact, it was successful.

To this day, Shikizaki Haru’s primary personality has not been able to escape the painful memories of the past.

His career was ruined by his own hand, and his family was completely lost.

In this extreme contradiction of reality, Shikizaki Haru finally committed suicide.

But suicide was not the end, it was the beginning of everything.

The second personality took complete control.

So now the most crucial question arises—

"In this situation where you have taken over everything, why would you murder?" Beichuan Si raised a finger, his gaze piercing.

The answer was straightforward.

"You want to assimilate the primary personality."

"Through these murders, you aim to erase all of his conscience, to completely replace him."

This was the sole purpose of the second personality.

To let the grudge of murder erode the primary personality, to make him degenerate into a resentful spirit like yourself. Only then could he have complete control over the spiritual realm.

Why would the spiritual realm uncontrollably open a rift?

That was the answer.

Shikizaki Haru’s primary personality had not yet been extinguished.

And the ’some things need to be dealt with’ that Beichuan Si mentioned, pertained to this very matter.

Jian Ding’s blade gleamed coldly in his hand, an unpleasant stench filled the air.

This caused Beichuan Si—

To focus even more intensely.
