"But..."

Qin Yiguan hesitated, then said, "I healed those personalities. Once they recovered, I was no longer sick. In other words, I will lose my abilities one by one..."

Dr. House seemed to shake his head. "That's not necessarily true. I've never treated such a complicated patient before, so I can't draw any conclusions. The results remain to be seen."

moment.

The conversation between the two ended with Dr. House's words, "Remember to let me know as soon as there are any new developments."

The Shitian monk Shitian tilted his head and looked at Qin Yiguan, "Benefactor Qin, have you finished communicating with the big boss? Then, could you please explain to this humble monk what exactly happened before, including the Ghost City, the ghost king, the 5-year-old child, the million residents, and so on?"

Qin Yiguan looked ahead and sighed softly, "Simply put, everything that happened before was the... mental world of a mental patient."

It is chaotic, it talks to itself, it consumes itself, and yet it redeems itself.

"It was presented to you in a very concrete way, a story full of contradictions and conflicts."

"Oh? I see. Amitabha!"

Shitian tilted his head, "I must say, this humble monk didn't understand a single word!"

Qin Yiguan shook his head and smiled wryly, "I'm afraid no one can understand."

"I have one more question."

Shitian then asked, "What role did I play in all of this?"

"You."

Qin Yiguan looked at the young monk, "You have entered my heart."

"Sir, please stop."

Shitian clasped his hands together and said, "I am a monk, I cannot engage in romantic relationships, especially with a gay man like you."

Where did you learn these words?!

Qin Yiguan, exasperated, immediately said, "What I mean is, you've entered my mental world and given me hints and cleared my way more than once when I was lost. Although karmic obstacles and [Gestalt Collapse] are not the same thing, and inner demons and [dissociative identity disorder] are not the same thing either, I still want to thank you."

"Amitabha."

Shitian clasped his hands together and nodded slightly, "Helping others is helping oneself. No need to thank me, no need to thank me!"

"Helping others is helping yourself..."

Qin Yiguan gazed into the distance, muttering to himself.

Thinking of the 5-year-old boy from before, it was ' Black Calamity,' and it has been cured. From now on, it shouldn't appear again, right? And my ability to [Gestalt Collapse] is gone too, right?

This seems to be a 'ferrying people across' that offers no reward.

Rumble!

The distant sky trembled.

This isn't Ghost City, so it's certainly not a ghost king; it's a vast array of flying machines.

There were more than a dozen of these aircraft, all dilapidated and pieced together, with various kinds of offensive weapons attached to their bodies.

"That's the black aircraft, and that's the kid!"

"He shot down one of our ships and killed more than a dozen of my brothers!"

Inside the aircraft, someone pointed at Qin Yiguan and roared angrily.

As they drew closer, Qin Yiguan noticed that each of these aircraft had a virtual projection device installed in front of it, displaying two large characters. "Robbery."

Qin Yiguan smiled helplessly.

Just as he had reunited with the Smoke Black Calamity and was preparing to head to the Ghost City, he encountered this aircraft—the bandits from their Experimental Zone.

At that moment, Black Calamity turned into smoke and dismembered them all.

Previously in the Ghost City, Smoke Black Calamity said that he was already dead, which is why he entered the Ghost City.

He also learned from the Clam's message that he had been hijacked, the Shadow had crashed, and he had died.

Qin Yiguan thought that Black Calamity had created an illusion, making him believe that the robbers were dead, but in reality, the robbers shot him down, and after he died, he entered the Ghost City.

Now it seems...

All of this was a self-consistent logic that arose in my mind after I entered the Ghost City.

The robber was killed.

Clam haven't posted any messages either.

Only in this way can one truly immerse oneself in the Ghost City story.

After all, Ghost City is one's own spiritual world.

It's like a dream; when you're immersed in it, you can't see any flaws.

now.

Qin Yiguan returned to the Experimental Zone, where the bandits' accomplices also came to seek revenge.

A kilometer away, the bandit ships activated their weapon systems. Various cannons flashed with multicolored lights as they gathered energy. Clearly, they didn't want to waste words with Qin Yiguan and planned to directly bombard him from a distance!

"This is actually quite difficult."

Qin Yiguan frowned slightly. "I can't stop them from firing from a distance."

Qin Yiguan himself wasn't afraid of death, but if the little monk Shitian were blasted into dust, then he would truly be dead.

I saw it from afar.

The light on those cannon barrels grew brighter and brighter, and the energy gathered within them became increasingly powerful, ready to unleash a volley of arrows!

"Hahaha!"

"You little bastard!"

"They even dared to kill our people!"

"If we don't tear you to pieces, how can our Bandit Alliance swallow this insult? How will we survive in the Experimental Zone after this!"

"Damn it, still pretending to be calm? Go to hell!"

At this moment, Qin Yiguan was still standing in the same spot.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and a familiar power Awakening within him.

At this moment, Shitian was dumbfounded. He looked up at the sky in a daze.

But then, a huge black wardrobe appeared above Qin Yiguan's head. It was at least a hundred meters tall, and its black light was vast and ethereal, with an imposing aura. It seemed to exist between reality and nothingness.

Qin Yiguan slowly raised his head.

Squeak...

The sound was faint, yet it resounded throughout the distant sky.

But then, the wooden door of the wardrobe was pushed open a crack, revealing a child's eye!

Those eyes were jet black, dark and deep!

It peeked through the crack in the door at the fleet of aircraft in the distant sky!

The next moment.

An extreme darkness emanated from the wardrobe, instantly engulfing thousands of meters of sky!

The robbers stared wide-eyed, as if they were being watched by the devil, and boundless fear spread from the depths of their hearts.

"What is that?!"

What is that thing?!

"Is that a devil?!"

Darkness covered everything.

The howls of demons and the screams of vengeful ghosts echoed continuously!

At the same time, the darkness was also filled with the terrified screams of humans!

Boom boom boom!

A dozen or so explosions of aircraft followed immediately!

A dozen seconds later, the whole world fell silent.

The child's eyes inside the enormous wardrobe shifted slightly, glancing at Qin Yiguan before the wardrobe door slowly closed.

In an instant, all the darkness vanished without a trace.

The black wardrobe above Qin Yiguan's head also disappeared.

The ground ahead was littered with the wreckage of aircraft and all sorts of dismembered corpses!

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Qin Yiguan was somewhat frantic, covering his forehead and laughing uncontrollably!

Shitian's body trembled slightly. "Benefactor Qin, if you don't understand, just ask. What was that just now?"

This moment.

Qin Yiguan opened his information panel.

'Personality Black Calamity, Healing Complete.'

' Fusion Rate +10%, current Fusion Rate 90%.'

' Brain Dark Zone A06 [Gestalt Collapse] -- Development Rate +59%, Current Development Rate 99%'

' Brain Restricted Zone A07 [Dissociation VI] -- Development Rate +15%, Current Development Rate 50%'

[Dissociation VI] The seventh personality, ' Qin Yiguan ', has been changed to ' Redeemer '.

'Awaken the First "Higher Self" -- Black Calamity.'

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Qin Yiguan continued laughing, "Shitian, you have your Buddha in your heart, and I have my demon in mine!"
