The Path of the Dog Strikes Again (Continued)
After all, the bed wasn't big enough to support two more people climbing up to rub against it.
It seems like it's time to put buying a big bed on the agenda.
"..." Wait a minute, is there any real need for us to sleep together?!
Didn't I previously plan to kick them all off the bed one by one?
Noticing the change in her thinking, Cong Yu got up with a sigh and left the room... The power of habit is truly terrifying.
I'm not going to think about it anymore, I'm going to draw comics! Draw comics!
Then...
Not long after Cong Yu turned on the computer, Yaochuan Guang came out of the room rubbing his eyes, looking like he hadn't woken up properly.
I'll say it again.
Even if magical girls and monsters don't need sleep for their physical bodies, theoretically their minds don't need rest like normal humans.
However, sleeping is a habit.
The fact that magical girls or freaks retain this habit is important proof that they are not too far removed from the word "human".
"Are you awake?"
Cong Yu asked this question, while Yaochuan Guang looked confused, nodded, and sat down next to Cong Yu.
"I was woken up by Teacher Hong's strangulation... She hugged me and almost rolled me into a ball."
Yaochuan Guang's words resonated with Cong Yu... Hong really does hug people with terrifying force.
"It might be because Hong lacks love."
Cong Yu, commenting and sketching out the storyboard for the new chapter of the manga, said to Yaochuan Guang, "Please be more lenient..."
"Um."
Yaochuan Guang, who hadn't paid much attention to it, nodded, then paused and said, "Cong Yu- chan, I had a dream last night."
As she spoke, Yaochuan Guang looked very serious, and she said, "This time, I've memorized the contents of the dream."
"..." Cong Yu sensed something was amiss at the beginning of the conversation. Holding his digital pen, he sketched lines and asked, "So?"
--"..."
"So..."
"..." Yaochuan Guang paused for a moment before saying this, then paused again before stating her conclusion directly. "I might be a fake."
"Yaochuan Guang (me), actually, from the moment I met you... I never existed in the first place."
"..." Startled! Trembled--
Startled, Cong Yu's hand trembled, and with a stroke of the digital pen on the tablet, a long line immediately appeared on the computer screen in front of her.
A sharp line that tore the entire screen apart.
However, at this moment, Cong Yu was no longer in the mood to press Ctrl+Z to undo; he stared at Yaochuan Guang.
I sensed that things were getting out of hand.
"Actually, I might be the dominant second personality, the second personality of Yaochuan Guang..."
"In fact, Yaochuan Guang's true personality has been hidden away ever since his parents died, unwilling to accept the truth."
As he said this, Yaochuan Guang's face was serious, convinced of his own thoughts. "That little girl died, died in that cruel reality..."
"In its place came me, a new personality that was completely indifferent to my parents' deaths and had forgotten the cause of their deaths."
"..." Cong Yu: "?"
Is... is that so?!
Wait a minute, if your situation is just dissociative identity disorder, then the Demon Monster King can't be someone else, right?!
(Black Yaochuan: That's not true at all!)
(Black Yaochuan: Do not disturb, he has already passed away--)
Third
Chapter 160: Women with cars seem more mature (right?)
Dissociative identity disorder.
This means that one or more personalities exist within a person, just like several people living in one person's body.
A common manifestation is that a person completely transforms into a different person after experiencing a major trauma.
This aligns well with Yaochuan Guang's explanation.
In other words, the inability to accept the fact that his parents had died led to the creation of the current personality Yaochuan Guang.
However, if we deduce it in this way, the key issue is...
If that's the setting, then the "former Yaochuan Guang" in Yaochuan Guang's dream should have remained at the time of his parents' death.
In other words, Yaochuan Guang probably wouldn't know what's happening outside.
They wouldn't know Cong Yu, Xiao Cui, Lantian Zhu...
According to Yaochuan Guang's description, compared to "another personality," the other person is actually just a tenant inside the body, and is able to spy on the outside world.
To put it simply...
It doesn't seem like a "second personality" but more like a tailed beast.
"Basically, it's the sea! The beach! And on the rocks! The alternate personality, the primary personality! And then they say a name, and then... ahhhhh..."
Yaochuan Guang was talking nonsense, spouting incoherent ramblings about a dream that no one could understand.
Lantian Zhu: "???"
Xiao Cui: "???"
"..." Seeing the confusion of her two companions, Cong Yu analyzed Yaochuan Guang's dream, then shook her head. "I've never seen anything like this before."
Hong immediately laughed, pointing a finger at Yaochuan Guang, and commented sharply, "Looks like it's a relapse of his old illness—"
Yaochuan Guang: "..."
Yaochuan Guang stammered, unable to clearly explain his dream, feeling extremely conflicted... but no matter what!
If you promise something to the main personality, you must keep it!
(Black Yaochuan: Sis, I'm really not the main personality, and you're not Yaochuan Guang... I want to cry.)
"Anyway, I've already agreed with Blackie that we'll find a way to let her out for some fresh air too. Do you guys have any good ideas?"
Yaochuan Guang asked this question.
"!!!" Then, Xiao Cui was the first to show a horrified expression, her mouth agape in disbelief. "Sister Yaochuan... you want to bring out another personality?!"
In Xiao Cui's opinion, Yaochuan Guang should have wanted to completely erase the other personality at this point.
Put yourself in their shoes...
If Xiao Cui had developed a second personality, she would likely have asked the Doctor to erase it without hesitation.
The mere thought of someone (another personality) using her body to play with her older siblings and take over her life filled her with disgust.
That kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!
"Yeah, Little Guang, are you serious?"
Thinking this, Lantian Zhu rested her chin on her hand, pressed the game controller, and played "Super Magic Mary Sisters" by herself, controlling Mary to pop bricks and collect coins.
As she operated the device, she shared her thoughts. "If it were me, the minimum acceptable level would be personality fusion..."
Although Lantian Zhu didn't know what her second personality would be like.
"..." Cong Yu remained silent in response to Yaochuan Guang's statement.
The more he heard, the more he felt that the "Black Yaochuan Guang" mentioned in Yaochuan Guang's ramblings was not a second personality.
Perhaps it is another entity residing within Yaochuan Guang's body.
For example, the Demon King...
It's just unclear whether the two are truly independent.
Is it that Yaochuan Guang is the Demon King himself, and the black Yaochuan Guang a manifestation of the Demon King's consciousness, or is it simply a matter of interpretation...?
Yaochuan Guang the Jinchūriki of the Demon King.
Just like Naruto Uzumaki...
Does the concept of Jinchuriki actually exist in this world?
Cong Yu was unaware of this, and perhaps in ten years, when his classmate Minato Namikaze got married and had children, the truth would come out.
Unfortunately, we can't wait.
"Hmm-uh-ah--"
Red emitted a sound that resembled that of a villager in a certain game without a circle... and the imitation was remarkably accurate.
"Instead of trying to bring out the second personality, why not try to drag it out?"
As she said this, Hong looked in Cong Yu's direction and said, "Later, I can take you to our company to see what's going on with your second personality."
"I know a really brilliant scientist who might be able to create a body and put your other personality inside it."
Upon hearing this, the clever children immediately knew who Teacher Hong was talking about.
Doctor! It's Doctor!
Xiao Cui blinked, realizing that Doctor might indeed be able to do that, but the problem was...
How will they face the other Yaochuan sister then?
This is very confusing.
"Okay, take me tomorrow..."
As Yaochuan Guang said this, he didn't realize that the "very powerful scientist" that Hong mentioned was in the headquarters of the weirdos.
But that's definitely not possible today.
Today I'm taking Xiao Cui to the Wind City Magical Girl Agency to discuss Xiao Cui contract.
After all, in a few months, Xiao
Cui is about to start junior high school, so we need to sign the contract as soon as possible, since we'll be sending out an official induction video later.
Although it means the firm is essentially paying an extra salary, it's just one salary, so the impact is minimal.
Xiao Cui Wind City Squad have been around for so long, and by showing their faces in public, they have gained considerable popularity, which brings them natural economic benefits.
In addition to the previous Vampire incident, the active performance of all the magical girls in Wind City has caused their popularity to skyrocket. The Magical Girl Showdown has already begun with the artwork of Cong Yu Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu, both of UR rarity forms.
Instead of the previous configuration where all forms were SR.
This is perhaps proof of their popularity.
Once Xiao Cui joins the team, Cong Yu will probably draw Xiao Cui's character portrait or something... Wow, that's another source of income.
From this perspective, as long as Wind City Magical Girl keeps recruiting, and recruits 101 people, then Cong Yu can make a fortune.
Unfortunately, we can't recruit them.
Otherwise, every time one comes, there will be another person sleeping in Cong Yu's room every night... They'll get crushed sooner or later, so it's definitely better not to.
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
"Let's go! Let's go!"
Xiao Cui shouted happily, waving her hand as she walked ahead, saying, "From now on, I'm the magical girl Xiao Cui..."
It seems Xiao Cui is too lazy to even come up with a code name.
Similar to Lantian Zhu...
Right, Magical Girl Blue Sky ☆Chan?
"Oh... we're going to my house first, right?"
As she said this, Hong swung the keychain in her hand and said, "Although I only mentioned it briefly before... you guys haven't forgotten, have you?"
