Chapter 318: Inhuman (126) (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update) [VIP]

Having said that, the next direction seems to become visible to the naked eye.

"Is there a disagreement between numbers one, two, three and four?" Bai Jinshu asked with a frown.

He remembered hearing this in the conversation in his mind before. In the beginning, these consciousnesses attacked each other severely and almost killed each other.

According to Cen Bingqi, these consciousnesses all had their own lives and bodies before entering this body, so certainly not everyone can accept the current situation.

It's easier to deal with when there's less consciousness in the body, like in the early stages when there were only Number One and Number Two. The two of them discussed how to allocate time in the body and how to explore the truth. And looking at Number Three's performance, the two of them must have explored something, which led to Number Three's suspicion of them.

But such harmony is certainly not forever.

The more consciousnesses that appear, the less time this body has for everyone to use. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The more people there are, the greater the possibility of disputes and controversies.

When the problem has not been solved yet, a fourth person suddenly appears in this already crowded body, and the conflict is bound to be intensified.

Unexpectedly, Cen Bingqi actually shook his head: "Uh... Actually, no."

"Number Four is a very good-natured person, and everyone likes him," Cen Bingqi counted on his fingers and thought for a while, "It is said that he was a preschool teacher before coming here, and he has a very good temper. In addition, he doesn't think too much about the control over his body, so after he came in, he actually eased the relationship between One, Two, and Three, and Number Three is not so hostile to Number One and Two anymore."

There was no fight?

"But this only suppresses the contradiction deeply, and does not solve it," Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows, "Now one, two, three, and four are all in the same body. Number four just didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he just pretended to be confused? Or did he not know that there was a contradiction between one, two, and three?"

In fact, he prefers the former.

No matter how familiar they are now, they were strangers at first. Even if they suddenly appeared in the same body and were forced to be bound together in all subsequent actions, it is impossible for them to become familiar with each other overnight.

As an outsider, No. 4 is at a natural disadvantage in facing this situation. If he doesn't play dumb and chooses to take sides, who knows if he will choose the wrong camp.

"This... this, you ask me, how can I know clearly? I'm only 17, how could I know something so early?" Cen Bingqi scratched his face in embarrassment. "What I know is also told to me by other people. If you want to ask such detailed questions, you might as well go back and ask the person himself."

He didn't seem surprised by Bai Jinshu's questioning. It seemed that Cen Bingqi himself was the type of person who would ask endlessly about all the details of something. No wonder he was so conflicted when Bai Jinshu asked him to speak before.

He seemed to want to throw away the responsibility of explaining the past and call everyone except himself to hold a meeting.

Unfortunately, Bai Jinshu would not do as he wished.

"No," he rejected Cen Bingqi's proposal without hesitation, "It would be too much of a scene if everyone came out together. Do you still want Cen Bingqi to come out once?"

"Go and call them one by one. Do it quietly so that no one can see you calling them out."

"That's fine." Seeing that he didn't have to suffer alone, Cen Bingqi quickly ran back to the backstage.

While he was calling for help, Bai Jinshu got up from the bed, looked around, locked the door, and made sure all the windows were closed before he lay back in bed.

It took Cen Bingqi some time to shake people around. During this time, he roughly sorted out what he knew so far in his mind.

These Cen Bing "qi" had fought extremely fiercely, and some even wanted to kill each other.

If Cen Bingqi died, there would be serious consequences, so no personality can die.

After something happens, these personalities suddenly change from being at loggerheads to getting along harmoniously.

Reading these three points together, something that Cen Bingqi had not yet had time to mention becomes clear.

Someone died in the fight, triggering this extremely serious consequence.

The subsequent story was exactly what he expected.

Cen Bingqi called people out one by one, and after piecing together everyone's statements, he could already vaguely understand what happened that year.

After No. 4 entered, the four personalities in the body returned to superficial peace. No. 1 and No. 2, as the seniors who initially planned to investigate why they appeared here, naturally took on the responsibility of arranging tasks for the newcomers.

The place where they are currently working together is a laboratory. It is called a laboratory, but in fact it is a very large research institute, and they are researchers within the institute.

Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes and interrupted, "I remember Cen Bingqi mentioned before that everyone is the product of an experiment, but now you say that you were researchers at the time? So something went wrong during the research, and the original researcher was replaced by all of us? Then how could you not let the cat out of the bag?"

"This...we thought about it at the beginning, so at the beginning Cen Bingqi, oh, that is, number one, was quite nervous." Number two, who was shaken out by Cen Bingqi, sat cross-legged on the ground with a bag of potato chips in his hand.

Suddenly becoming a researcher, No. 1234 in the body had no relevant work experience and was not clear about what the laboratory was researching. When No. 1 entered the work station according to the schedule on the table on the first day, he was trembling with fear for being exposed.

But he soon discovered that as a low-level researcher, his job content was surprisingly simple, so simple that even a layman like him could easily complete it.

It stands to reason that such a simple job can be completed by just hiring anyone, and there is no need to find researchers in related majors.

"I know what you want to ask. You asked it before, and I told you that Cen Bingqi and I have also thought about this question," No. 2 seemed to know what Bai Jinshu wanted to ask, and added with his hand on his forehead, "But we found an irrefutable answer at that time..."

They are related to each other and are the nephews of Dr. Liang in the laboratory, so even though their resumes are not outstanding, they were still squeezed into this project.

Since he is a relative of the family, all this is understandable.

It is nothing more than that this so-called Dr. Liang opened a back door for his nephew. Other researchers also know that their abilities are average, so they will not assign him any important work. They also look down on him and will not have too much communication with him.

Over time, this researcher became a lone ranger who only did odd jobs.

"At that time, there was very little daily work, and as researchers we were able to arrange our time freely after work. Cen Bingqi and I explored separately and walked almost all over the institute, and we roughly got a general idea of ​​what this place was like." Number Two continued.

The laboratory is built in the Gobi Desert far away from the city. All experimenters have signed a confidentiality agreement before coming here. All facilities are available here, and it has been built into a small community. Except that you cannot leave, you can do whatever you want here.

After No. 1 and No. 2 explored the entire research area, they quickly set their sights on a family of this identity.

All the staff here have 20 days of vacation every year, but their vacation time was used up at the beginning of this year. If they want to go home to visit their families, they can only wait until next year.

During this period, No. 1 once mentioned whether they should ask for help from Dr. Liang, who was nominally their uncle. However, the answer they got after the two of them went to ask for help was that Dr. Liang could not give them a back door to leave. The attendance here was very strict. There were special cars to pick them up in and out of the experimental area. Only if they reported for annual leave could a car come to pick them up.

They couldn't leave here, and the laboratory had been almost explored. The exploration of No. 1 and No. 2 was almost at a dead end. At this time, the two people who wandered around the research area every day with nothing to do met their first friend here.

"Hmm... let's call him A," Number Two thought for a moment, "A is also a person with connections in the lab. At that time, the two of us were ostracized by everyone in the experimental group. A, as another person with connections who was also ostracized, became our friend all of a sudden."

As a similarly uneducated relative, A, like the others, did not quite understand the content of the experiment and only played a miscellaneous role. He was also a marginal figure in his experimental group. The three of them hit it off as soon as they met and soon became good friends.

With the introduction of A, they indirectly met B, C and D. All five of them were relatives in the experimental area and were marginalized people who were excluded by those serious researchers. They were all young people of similar age and exchanged their work schedules. They often went to the movies or played games together in their spare time.

The accident happened after number three appeared.

"At that time... uh, Cen Bingqi and I had been in the laboratory for more than two months," No. 2 continued, "We were basically familiar with the entire experimental area. In addition, everyone excluded us, so we were happy not to pay attention to the progress of the experiments in the group. We went out every day to play with A, B, C, and D. Maybe our attitude gave No. 3 an illusion, making him think that we were lying when we said we came here suddenly like him, so the relationship between the three of us was very strained during that time."

Number Three suddenly appeared here, and was extremely vigilant and spoke rudely. Sometimes, this is how rapport is. The more you dislike a person, the more you dislike him. The more you suspect something suspicious, the more suspicious it becomes.

I don’t know what behavior of No. 1 and No. 2 caused No. 3 to make a wrong judgment. He began to think that he came here because of an experiment between the two of them.

"Number Three was particularly harsh," Number Two stroked his hair and let out a long sigh, "After he became suspicious of the two of us, his first reaction was not to come and ask us, but to directly control our bodies in the middle of the night and threaten us with cutting our wrists."

Bai Jinshu opened his eyes slightly.

It seems that the relationship between these three people is really bad. When No. 2 mentions No. 1, he uses No. 1's name "Cen Bingqi", and when he mentions No. 3, he refers to the cold No. 3.

"We had never seen such a scene at that time. He threatened us to let him go and tell everything. Cen Bingqi and I wanted to go back, and we were no less confused than him!" He curled his lips speechlessly when he said this, "And he wanted to commit suicide right from the start. Who could stand that? We were afraid that one day we would wake up and find him gone. Nothing he said made sense, and he wouldn't listen to our explanations. In the end, we could only control him by force and not let him enter the front desk."

"This will only make the conflict bigger and bigger." Bai Jinshu hit the nail on the head.

"You said the same thing last time..." Cen Bingqi was listening with great interest. Number Two glanced at him and shrugged, "But there is no other way. Neither of us wants to die."

During this time, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 were fighting with each other and ignored a lot of things about No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. When the two of them found a way to control No. 3 and then connected to their friends, they learned a very sudden bad news.

"A is dead," said No. 2. "No one knows how he died. At first, no one even knew it was A who died. They just knew that a researcher in their group died suddenly from overwork."

The test area is so small, and gossip spreads faster than anything else. Number One and Number Two also heard gossip in between their battle of wits and courage with Number Three. However, they and the four people, A, B, C, and D, were all marginal people who did not do any work, so no one expected that the person who died from overwork would be A, who did nothing all day.

"After A died..." Number Two paused, "Everyone speculated that it was because he was the student of the person in charge of their research group. The person in charge got angry and implicated some bigwigs in the research room, so the research of their entire group was put on hold. We don't know the details, but it is said that it was stopped directly, and all the researchers in the group were dispersed and sent to other research groups."

The news of A's death suddenly diluted the joy that No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 had finally controlled. When the friends who used to eat, drink, and play together got together, they now felt a lot more melancholy in their hearts. Over time, the four of them didn't get together as often as before.

Number Three took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack again, leaving Number One and Number Two exhausted from coping. At this moment, Number Four appeared.

The appearance of No. 4 actually resolved a little bit of the conflict between No. 1, 2 and 3. After all, No. 3's suspicion of No. 1 and No. 2 mostly came from the suspicion that they were secretly conducting experiments and brought him here, and he had seen everything No. 1 and No. 2 had done during this period of time. The two of them did nothing, and then No. 4 appeared, which greatly reduced No. 3's suspicion.

Until this time, the four people in the body were actually still harmonious.

Bai Jinshu watched Cen Bingqi send No. 2 back, and then he didn't know who he pulled out from the backstage.

The problem arises when the fifth person shows up.

The four people in front are all ordinary employees, bank tellers, convenience store cashiers, and kindergarten teachers. They are all from the same class and have a lot of common topics. On the surface, they seem to get along quite harmoniously.

But this newly emerged fifth person is a small leader.

Or to put it more spicy -

"It's the kind of family-run company that's about to go bankrupt. The leaders are all relatives and friends of the boss. They order their workers around every day and think they're very powerful," added Cen Bingqi.

“Don’t look at me,” he shrugged and smiled at No. 5 next to him, “They said you were like that at that time.”

"Yes..." Number Five held his forehead with his hand, "That was indeed the case when I first came here."

Number five is a small leader.

He was used to making arrangements for his subordinates, so after entering this body, he subconsciously communicated with others in this way and scoffed at other people's information.

When there are four personalities in this body, No. 1 and No. 2 are the most familiar with it. They are good friends with the dead A, B, C, and D, and they have the longest control over the body. No. 3 is suspicious of No. 1 and No. 2. He is an uncontrollable bomb who will cut his wrists and interrogate if he is not careful. He is jointly prohibited from entering the front desk by the two. No. 4 is a good guy. He doesn't know the details of the twists and turns between No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, but he often smooths things over to prevent the three from fighting.

But after No. 5 came here, his annoying personality suddenly upset this balance.

He successfully made numbers one, two, three and four all stand against him. He didn't know what number three was thinking, or maybe he predicted from this situation that there would be a steady stream of new people joining this body. If he didn't quickly join a camp with a better chance of winning, it was very likely that he would have to live under the arrangements of numbers one and two from now on.

So when no one could react, No. 3 suddenly stood on the side of No. 5 and fought against No. 1 and No. 2 together, using extreme actions many times to force them to give up control of their bodies and give him and No. 5 more time.

When only No. 3 did this, No. 1 and No. 2 could still hold him down, but with the addition of No. 5, although the two-on-three situation seemed to have an advantage for them, No. 5's physical fitness was actually much stronger than those of ordinary people who stayed in the office all day long. Both sides suffered losses in the fight, and in the end they had to take a step back and barely reached a very fragile balance.

At this time, number six appeared.

"As for Cen Bingqi, that is his retribution in this life." When he said this, Cen Bingqi suddenly laughed.

Unlike the previous five people, Cen Bingqi is a racing driver.

Racing is actually a competitive sport that requires extremely strong physical fitness. Cen Bingqi's physical qualities crush everyone else. As a straightforward racing driver, he soon became unhappy with number five after understanding the whole situation. With the support of Cen Bingqi, number one, number two and number four regained control and became the actual people in power in this body.

As the saying goes, leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future.

Number 3 and Number 5 had threatened suicide too many times before, and doing it too naturally caused everyone's dissatisfaction. When Cen Bingqi arrived, Number 1 and Number 2 immediately reached an agreement and banned these two people from using their bodies again.

Bai Jinshu touched his chin: "Interesting..."

The order in which the various people in this body appear seems to be arranged.

It cleverly controls the risks in the struggle for control within the body, allowing each side to gain the upper hand every time a newcomer appears.

Sure enough, what happened next was similar to this. All the personalities in the body were divided into two factions. Every time a new person appeared, the risk would shift to the other side. It seemed that there was an invisible hand controlling the development of everything.

After this cycle repeated three times, number ten appeared.

"Number 10 is you," Cen Bingqi scratched his head and looked at Bai Jinshu, "When you first appeared... you said you were a university teacher."

The combat power at that time had become more and more outrageous. The method of "forbidding to appear in the front stage" that was originally introduced for the safety of everyone in the body also became a means of revenge in such an intensified battle.

The winner will gain control over the body, while the loser will be pushed into the depths of consciousness and will no longer be able to access any front stage.

Such a fierce dispute resulted in a different person appearing in the body they existed in every day. Everyone who controlled the body wanted to have enough fun while they could control the body, so "his" style became more and more absurd and inexplicable.

In this dispute, No. 1 and No. 2 also chose to hide the secrets in their bodies and never contacted their three friends B, C, and D again.

The appearance of Cen Bingqi directly poured cold water on the increasingly intense battle situation.

In a body whose combat power was becoming increasingly outrageous, an ordinary person suddenly appeared, disrupting the rhythm of both sides.

According to the previous developments, when a newcomer appears, the party that has been suppressed to the depths of consciousness will be able to immediately hold their heads high, while the party that controls the body will be pushed back into the depths of consciousness no matter how well prepared they are.

But with such an expansion of combat power, what can a university teacher do?

The party that was suppressed in the depths of consciousness and was waiting for a newcomer to turn the tables was gnashing its teeth at him, while the party that controlled the body and wanted to accept him with a condescending attitude was indignant because of his rejection.

After Cen Bingqi entered, he subtly became a marginal figure.

"I can't figure it out now. Did you do it on purpose?" Number Nine, who was dragged out by Cen Bingqi, twitched his lips. "You were actually just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger while watching a bunch of idiots like us fight?"

In Cen Bingqi's eyes, their little tricks were just like a fight between elementary school students in the village, right?

However, Cen Bingqi was not the only maverick newcomer. Number 11 Cen Bingqi also appeared soon and immediately brought the battle into the next stage.

"I won't call you Cen Bingqi, he's a fool... I'll just tell you, I know this part clearly," Cen Bingqi twitched his lips, "At that time, the two factions were going back and forth, and as soon as Cen Bingqi came in, he didn't choose either side, and declared that he didn't want to share his body and life with others, so he forced everyone to enter the depths of consciousness. And you happened to be the one who didn't choose either side and escaped, and became the only person who could share a body with him during that time. I actually always doubted whether your friendship was cultivated at that time, but it doesn't seem like it considering that Cen Bingqi is so foolish."

If we say that Cen Bingqi's decision not to take sides now seems to be a wise move.

Then there is no doubt that Cen Bingqi is a fool who appears wise.

"The point is that he's mentally retarded," Cen Bingqi gritted his teeth, "Do you know what will happen if he does this?"

Bai Jinshu nodded subtly.

He knows it too well.

Cen Bingqi dealt a heavy blow to the two forces that were used to sticking together and dealing with each other.

He broke the fight between the two factions into everyone at once.

No one wants to share the body with others. Everyone was an independent person before coming here. Why should we be suppressed by you and share the already meagre 24 hours of the day with others?

Not to mention that there are hierarchies within factions.

There are 24 hours in a day. Is it a loss when you sleep? Is it a loss when you work? Why can other people play around when they are in control of their bodies, but they can only do boring work or can't even leave the dormitory?

Cen Bingqi instantly ignited the fire in everyone's heart.

The situation that had originally seemed like a joke between factions was instantly broken.

The whole scene suddenly became chaotic.

This is the dispute everyone has been referring to.

"I'm not really clear about the details of the people who came later, but it was so chaotic back then that no one knew the details," Cen Bingqi crossed his legs and held his chin in his hand. "I only know that everyone was still fighting after I came in, and the fight was getting more and more chaotic. Only you, Cen Bingqi, stood out from the battle. Now I think you were the most abnormal person at that time. Everyone was so bloodthirsty, but why did everyone let you go? How could you be an ordinary university teacher..."

Without their established factions, the advantages of No. 1 and No. 2 as "veterans" instantly faded away, and most people with no fighting power chose to rely on those with stronger strength to form small groups.

Such small groups are also unstable and may fall apart at any time. It is very likely that two people were teammates yesterday and may become opponents today.

Unlike the previous situation, the previous Cen Bingqi, that is, No. 1 in this body, is the undisputed elder here, and has the responsibility to explain the current situation to all personalities.

After the fight had become like this, let alone describing the situation, everyone was hoping that a new person would come in and suppress the opponent to the point where he would never be able to come out from the depths of their consciousness.

No one is willing to explain the current situation to the newcomers, and in such a chaotic situation, the newcomers lack the conditions to enter the front of the body to search for information. In addition, the later people who enter here are more outstanding in some aspects and they are not willing to be inferior to others. Therefore, most people throw themselves into this battlefield for survival in confusion without knowing the current situation.

"At that time, no one cared why everyone appeared here, how to return to their own bodies, and how many people would appear in their bodies. Everyone was furious and wanted to beat everyone except themselves into the abyss of consciousness to occupy their own body." Cen Bingqi didn't seem to want to say more about this part, or there was really nothing to say about this part. It was just that everyone was fighting like crazy. He curled his lips and simply started the next topic.

This is where the conversation begins.

"This situation continued until No. 21 showed up," Cen Bingqi exhaled slowly. "No. 21 was a desperate criminal. After entering this chaotic environment and figuring out the rules here, he did something that no one could believe."

Bai Jinshu raised his head: "Who did he kill?"

This sentence is an affirmative sentence.

"Yes, he killed someone," said Cen Bingqi. "He killed No. 3."

Before this, although the conflicts between everyone were sharp, the most ruthless thing everyone could do was to beat the other party into the deepest part of his consciousness so that he could never come out again.

No one had ever thought about killing other people consciously.

"At that time... everyone was stunned," Cen Bingqi paused, "and then something even more terrifying happened."

No one had ever died before, so no one knew what would happen if someone died.

Just when everyone was still in panic about the death of someone, the next second, everyone suddenly regained the memory of No. 3.

After No. 3 died, his consciousness seemed to have dissolved or shattered into pieces, and his memories appeared in everyone's mind.

"After gaining the memories of others, many people went crazy," Cen Bingqi said with a sigh. "We later found out from the research manual what was going on. It's because if you kill the personality in your consciousness, that personality will disintegrate in your consciousness."

"Disintegration of personality will cause all people in this consciousness to evenly receive the consciousness and cognition of the disintegration of personality. If the recipient's willpower is not strong, he will definitely be driven crazy by it."

"These crazy people will then experience new personality disintegration due to cognitive errors, and then put their own memories into the minds of those who have survived the first round of disintegration and have not yet gone crazy, thereby inducing them to disintegrate as well, forming a chain of explosions."

"Then..." Cen Bingqi raised his head with a complicated expression, "Then just when this chain of explosions was about to take place, you, Cen Bingqi, as a seemingly neutral and peaceful person, suddenly emerged as a rising star. You were the first to deal with the consciousness and cognition of the disintegration of personality No. 3, and killed No. 21 before anyone else could react. You absorbed all of his disintegrated consciousness by yourself."

Cen Bingqi's movements were very unfamiliar. In front of their ghost-like looks, he calmly pulled his knife from Cen Bingqi's hand, then stabbed it into No. 21's heart with his backhand, then pulled it out, repeating this process back and forth, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, forcing No. 21 to watch himself being killed bit by bit while conscious but unable to move.

No one made a sound.

No one could make a sound at this time.

Compared to the disintegration of No. 3's consciousness, it seemed that Cen Bingqi's calm and unfamiliar killing movements were more frightening.

As No. 21 took his last breath, he stood up straight, looking at everyone with the same calm and indifferent eyes as always.

Then he tapped his solar plexus and said, "I still have some strength left. Who dares to kill another person and try?"

The author has something to say:

The other personalities are actually quite scared of Cen Bingqi

Although the aftereffects of amnesia are still there (x)
