Chapter 420 You are the anchor, luring them to follow you
"Good morning." Yi Jingrong answered the phone quickly. His voice sounded sober and his tone was calm. He didn't seem surprised at all by the early and somewhat rude call.
"Good morning, Professor Yi." Gu Nan said, "Excuse me, I have something I want to confirm with you."
"Ah, I know what you want to ask, but it's too early." Yi Jingrong asked playfully, "Were you unhappy last night?"
There was something else behind Yi Jingrong's words. You could tell without even thinking that Yi Jingrong must have informed Lin Qin long ago and knew that Lin Shili had spent the night in her room.
Gu Nan half leaned on the railing, glanced back at the silkworm chrysalis that was about to fall off the bed, and said something half-truthful and half-false, "I'm not very happy. He doesn't sleep well, and he pushed me out of bed."
Yi Jingrong was stunned for a moment. Perhaps it was because he rarely heard such a funny story, he couldn't help laughing. After a while, he said, "First of all, let me make it clear that hiding this from you was not my idea alone. Those two brothers were the masterminds."
Gu Nan: "I know. If I wanted to settle the score, I wouldn't make this call. I would go directly to the research center and put up the banner."
"Your words are so scary. Are you really not threatening me?" Yi Jingrong complained.
Gu Nan said no, and Yi Jingrong didn't dwell on it. He quickly changed the subject, "What do you want to ask?"
Gu Nan: "Why did the system arrange such a world for him?"
"I thought you would first ask what split personality is. All the words I prepared would be useless." Yi Jingrong joked.
"Simply put, your world is a fusion of two worlds: Cyber+18+. Because Lin Shili's experience is rather unique, the development process is so strange. In just ten years, it has completed decades of social progress."
"It's a pleasant surprise that your worlds can merge so well. I've been trying to merge them all year, but the results haven't been very good. The system hasn't created any new merged worlds either. I suspect it's a human problem."
Gu Nan ignored her implication and asked, "Why was he placed in the 18+ category?"
"You need to ask him. He was reading pornographic content in the car. Before the accident, his brain only remembered the huge impact it had on him. Then, this special stimulation was captured by the system."
Gu Nan: “…”
Yi Jingrong laughed: "He didn't tell you, but he was reading pornographic content before the accident and he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. He was the most seriously injured person in the car."
Gu Nan was silent, covering his face with his hands. "Then what is the original plot that the system gave me?"
"Part of it is his 'personal experience,' part of it is a projection of consciousness, and some of it is artistic processing. This may be a little difficult for you to understand, but it is the truth. Before meeting you, he had already been wandering in a mismatched world for a while."
"The system continuously corrected Lin Shili's real data through experiments, then derived a world suitable for him based on his consciousness. If all went well, he would successfully awaken. But unfortunately, he got lost during the long experiment, and the process of his failed awakening is almost the same as the original plot given to you by the system."
"I asked him about the feeling of being lost, and he said it was no different from real life. He could experience birth, old age, sickness, death, love, hate, and dislike."
"That's why I said your worlds are well integrated. Without you, this divine warrior sent from heaven, he would have been forced to self-destruct over and over again within the system's settings until complications destroyed his body..."
Yi Jingrong kept sighing at the magic of their encounter and the wonderful way the system combined the two worlds, but Gu Nan couldn't listen. The only thing on her mind was that sentence -
The process of failing to awaken is almost the same as the original plot given to you by the system.
The three plots given to her by the system are the three lives that Lin Shili has personally experienced.
He can understand love and evil, and his depravity, self-harm, and loss are all choices he would make in that environment.
Those paper characters presented by words are actually living people.
Gu Nan felt his head was foggy, as if he had lost all his senses in an instant.
It took her a long time to find her voice again: "Which part is the projection of his consciousness?"
Yi Jingrong: "Kinship. A large part of the parent-child and brother relationships you see come from him. The most obvious ones are Lin Jingchun and Lin Jingzhe. Both their appearance and personality correspond to Lin Shili and Lin Qin."
Gu Nan felt sad about the answer.
Lin Jingchun and Qi Yan's relationships with their parents were worse than each other. As for Chunyi, he simply practiced Buddhism since childhood to cut off all ties with his family.
Lin Jingchun and Lin Jingzhe also had no good ending, and the brotherhood they cared about each other was wasted.
No wonder Lin Qin asked her at that time: What if you are not happy at home?
A sick tree cannot produce healthy seeds, and barren soil will only accelerate its death.
There are traces of Lin Shili's loss and self-destruction. What he lacks in awakening is not accurate information, but love.
And the love Lin Qin gave him was the most gentle and heaviest blow.
Gu Nan's emotions finally surged, and his slender fingers unconsciously tapped on the iron railings, making crisp knocking sounds.
But soon, she realized that this action was too noisy, so she stopped and paced on the balcony. However, the balcony was too small, only the size of a palm, and she felt more and more suffocated the more she walked.
Gu Nan took two deep breaths, but to little effect.
Yi Jingrong noticed the strange state of the other party, paused for a moment, and then continued: "You know his experience best, so there are some things I need to explain to you."
"Those experiences have had a significant impact on his psychology and personality. Even though he seems fine now, he's actually very fragile. The slightest disturbance can send him into a stressful state again. So please be careful with his feelings and protect yourself."
Gu Nan's mood was shattered by the last sentence. He wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "I can beat two of him by myself now."
"That's good." Yi Jingrong laughed. "I just mentioned it casually. After all, his Qiyan personality has killed people, and his Chunyi personality has destroyed people. If those two personalities wake up one day, you should be mentally prepared."
In the plot given by the system, Lin Jingchun also killed people, but Yi Jingrong did not mention it. That was probably what Yi Jingrong said was artistic processing.
"What's the probability of those two personalities awakening?" Gu Nan asked.
"It's small, but just in case."
The principle of Tianguang's treatment is the regeneration of brain nerves under special stress conditions. Logically speaking, awakening means the recovery of brain function, so there will basically be no sequelae. However, no one can guarantee that if Lin Shili encounters strong stimulation again, his old illness will break out and he will commit suicide or kill others.
Yi Jingrong meant well, so Gu Nan thanked him. He now knew almost everything he wanted to know. He only had one last question: "How did he wake up?"
"Death, but not quite like you."
"After you died, he entered a self-destruct state. All his statistics are extremely poor. After discussion, we decided to guide his death."
"The experience of another world can be compared to a dream. After experiencing the extreme instantaneous emotional impact, the body will be 'startled awake'. However, this logic does not apply to Lin Shili, so we regard you as a breakthrough point."
"Use you as an anchor and lure them to follow you with your death. This is much easier than creating an emotional impact on them, because all they have to do is believe that you are going home and then be willing to go home with you."
"We failed in our first few attempts, but the more we intervened, the better the results became. We all said that if you were a fish hook, they would be the fish that would not fall even if they bit a straight hook."
