Victim

The Metaverse Experimental Zone.

Qin Yiguan spread his arms and jumped into Leviathan.

Lu Zun grinned maliciously.

Seeing that Qin Yiguan's figure had disappeared, Lu Zun felt a great sense of relief. He checked his body, his hands, and his feet, and found them all unharmed.

His laughter grew even more unrestrained.

"Haha, this time, throwing ideas at Qin Yiguan didn't backfire?!"

"I was too nervous beforehand; he wasn't as scary as I imagined!"

It was at this time.

Lu Zun's body suddenly stiffened, and his Pupil contracted sharply.

Suddenly, a pair of fair hands landed on the edge of the Leviathan Rift!

Then, with those hands supporting the edge, Qin Yiguan's head slowly rose up.

Qin Yiguan's expression remained the same as before, ashen-faced, reflecting the endless despair in his heart.

"You..."

Lu Zun's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a step back. "What are you doing? Why don't you jump down and fulfill your wish?"

Qin Yiguan looked at Lu Zun quietly, his tone calm and devoid of any vitality, "This world is so cold and ruthless, and living is so painful... Birth is the beginning of humanity, and death is the end. In between, it is a meaningless process. You guide me, and I can find liberation."

Qin Yiguan looked up, a faint glimmer of light appearing in his ashen eyes. "But I can't bear to see you continue to suffer in this world. Come with me and find liberation."

"No!"

Lu Zun quickly replied, "I can stay in this world, I can suffer!"

As he spoke, Lu Zun looked at the ground, preparing to pick up a Shitou and then use ' Absolute Hit ' to send Qin Yiguan on his way, but just a second before Lu Zun touched the Shitou...

A strong sense of despair seemed to radiate from Qin Yiguan's eyes, directly entering his heart. In an instant, Lu Zun's heart was filled with darkness.

Lu Zun's eyes revealed terror.

With his last glimmer of hope for survival, he activated ' Absolute Hit,' but the projectile wasn't the rock; it was his own body. He 'commanded' his body to be thrown 100 meters away, far from Leviathan!

because.

At this moment, Lu Zun's heart was filled with despair, and he couldn't muster any other thoughts.

He just wanted to die.

The Leviathan Abyss right before us is the perfect spot; jumping in is the simplest and most perfect way to end our own lives!

Lu Zun was very familiar with this feeling.

Once, when he cast that thought for Qin Yiguan, his proud ' Thought Projection ' went wrong, commanding Qin Yiguan to thrust out the dagger.

I found myself having the same thought.

He also found a dagger, stabbed himself in the chest, and even cut a 40-centimeter-long wound in his chest in a diaphragmatic position!

Fortunately, he did not die from it, but the scar remained on his chest.

The same situation exists today.

Lu Zun's body was in a state of mutual repulsion. His face was ashen, and he was uncontrollably walking towards the Leviathan Abyss. However, ' Absolute Hit ' was emitting an invisible force that kept him away from the Leviathan Rift!

Lu Zun's voice trembled as he looked at Qin Yiguan at the edge of the crack, "Who exactly are you? What are you?!"

Qin Yiguan's body still hung on the edge of the Leviathan Rift, his eyes lowered, lifelessly staring at the ground. "I am not Qin Yiguan, they all call me Victim."

Lu Zun's body moved forward, his expression one of utter despair and collapse. "Victim? You are clearly Qin Yiguan!"

"Dr. House."

You Minglan leaned gently against the handsome doctor's shoulder, licking her red lips, and said, "Qin Yiguan is going to stop Lu Zun. Are you just going to watch him die? You're so heartless, but I like it so much."

He won't die.

Dr. House looked out the window at the lush lawn, crushing the module he had disassembled from Officer Wang's personal smart device.

Officer Wang, meanwhile, lay on the bench behind him, fast asleep.

Why didn't Qin Yiguan die?

You Minglan brought her red lips close to Dr. House's ear, her face flushed, and while resisting her own desire, she gently blew into Dr. House's ear.

Dr. House gently pushed You Minglan away by the shoulder, then sat down behind his desk.

You Minglan let out a soft snort, her face full of resentment.

But then Dr. House said, "Qin Yiguan has multiple personalities, each with a mental illness. These illnesses, once placed in the Experimental Zone, transform into powerful abilities. The abilities that kid uses are all borrowed from them."

You Minglan pouted her sexy red lips, "I know that."

Dr. House held up one finger. "One of his personalities is called the Victim, and its condition is called [Living Dead Syndrome], which you can think of as the ultimate version of depression."

"The world of the Victim is utterly bleak and filled with despair."

"It has no interest in this world; it thinks about ending its own life every single moment."

"'When I laugh, I feel like I'm dying.' -- This is the most honest inner monologue of someone suffering from 'Living Dead Syndrome.'"

"Typically, this condition develops because of countless setbacks; no matter how hard they try, life always seems to deliver the worst possible outcome."

"Or perhaps, they harbor something in their hearts that causes them extreme self-reproach, something they can never resolve in this lifetime."

"They are often able to convey the darkest emotions to others."

Dr. House gazed into the distance. "Qin Yiguan is different from ordinary ' Living Dead Syndrome ' patients. He has multiple personality disorder, and each personality carries a story of failure, along with memories that cause him self-blame and despair."

"This guilt and despair accumulated to an enormous level."

Ultimately, the Victim's personality was born.

"It is also a manifestation of ' Living Dead Syndrome ' because it brings together the self-blame and guilt in the hearts of everyone, including Qin Yiguan himself."

"It is extremely misanthropic; it believes that only death can atone for its sins and bring liberation."

Do you remember Qin Yiguan's [Conscience-Free Syndrome]?

Dr. House sighed, "He's not truly heartless; it's just that the negative emotions filtered out by [Conscience-Free Syndrome] are absorbed by the ' Victim.'"

You Minglan's beautiful eyes flickered. "So, the Victim were truly pitiful."

"Not bad."

Dr. House shook his head. "' Living Dead Syndrome ' begins with 'living,' and its core psychological state is self-blame."

"These patients suffer from inner conflict; they want to atone but are unable to, and thus linger on in agony, leading to ever-deepening self-blame. To put it bluntly, they refuse to let go of their own guilt."

"That's precisely because of these characteristics."

"This leads them to often believe they are dead, only to wake up from a nightmare or 'come back to life' after a single breath."

"So."

Dr. House looked into the distance. "Qin Yiguan's ' Victim ' personality will have its abilities amplified Infinity within the Experimental Zone, and its core power is— Infinite Rebirth."

"When Qin Yiguan is preparing to die, or facing an unavoidable crisis of death, the ' Victim ' will appear immediately to take over his primary personality."

"If ' Qin Yiguan ' dies, then the Victim's abilities will take effect!"

You Minglan's beautiful eyes widened.

Dr. House quietly said, "The reason I let him fight against Lu Zun was to activate the ' Victim '!"

You Minglan gasped repeatedly, "So, from now on, as long as Qin Yiguan is in the Experimental Zone, he won't die at all, and can do whatever he wants?"

Dr. House nodded quietly.

"Very nice."

"And you, with your superb medical skills, profound knowledge, and discerning eyes that see through everything."

You Minglan pulled her short skirt up, revealing her upper legs. "Dr. House, how about we have some fun?"

Dr. House, eyes downcast, mouth down, and mind on his own, declared righteously, "I refuse."
