Multiple Personalities

This is a building with a design both simple and complex, a villa above, and an underground world below.

The passage extends upward along a winding path.

Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu walked upwards, as if they were in a mysterious space.

He didn't speak or ask questions; at this moment, silence was best.

Everything had entered into a kind of incredibility, secrets were hidden, or rather, secrets were never meant to be revealed.

About Li Baiyu's family and signals, that's not the focus. The focus is on what they intend to do.

For Shen Jingqi, Li Baiyu was complex and hard to understand.

From the feedback of Dean Zhang and the Sensory Paradise test team members, it was apparent that they all treated Li Baiyu with utmost respect, never overly curious.

Now, Li Baiyu's condition was very unstable, with multiple sub-personalities emerging one after another, possibly related to Cong Nanxue. Moreover, since Li Baiyu was discharged, Tuantuan had also become unstable.

Cong Nanxue asked for a psychological consultation with me, what does this prove?

Does it prove Cong Nanxue's existence, or something else?

Shen Jingqi decided to meet Yang Haotian again, after all, it was through Yang Haotian that Cong Nanxue found him for the psychological consultation.

Thinking about this, suddenly there was a brightness before his eyes, Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu had reached the surface.

Though still indoors, the sense of light was distinctly different from being underground.

Light!

Shen Jingqi suddenly related it to the variance in light.

His mind quickly recalled, that during Cong Nanxue's psychological consultation, no light was visible on the screen. If she had used a virtual screen, it would have the same effect. But Cong Nanxue did not use a virtual screen, Shen Jingqi could see that she was indeed in a space, and could see the surrounding environment. However, at that time, Shen Jingqi felt a bit strange, now he suddenly realized it might have been due to the light.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Li Baiyu asked.

"Senior, I think the passage just now was a bit strange."

Shen Jingqi looked at Li Baiyu's face, which was very calm, without much of a ripple.

"This passage was designed by Uncle Li, it is indeed somewhat special, but once you grasp the principles, it becomes easy to understand."

"Principles?"

"The principles of time and space."

"This must be quite profound."

Shen Jingqi pondered, although courses in psychiatry and psychology required extensive reading, they were all conducted on a conscious level. To deeply understand the principles of time and space in the real environment indeed required more experience.

"The structure and construction are both important. I know that you, psychiatric doctors, are adept at understanding and thinking from the cognitive neuroscience aspect, but don't forget, the carrier of life is biology, and biological sciences can better help us understand these."

Li Baiyu emphasized.

"Exactly, so the development of Sensory Paradise is based on these, right?"

Shen Jingqi suddenly understood some crucial points.

"Exactly, you realized it quickly."

Li Baiyu revealed a look of appreciation on her face.

"I believe that after experiencing Sensory Paradise, you can perceive the world's rules and operating principles."

After hearing these words, Shen Jingqi's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Sensory Paradise is not just an application project, but also a carrier through which to choose people to connect with this world.

"Senior, Qin Si seems not that simple. During our second test in the hospital, she seemed to do something to my neurons, and then some bizarre things happened, but it recovered quickly. These days, I haven't felt anything unusual, but I'm always a bit worried."

Shen Jingqi expressed his thoughts, feeling a little relieved.

"Qin Si does indeed have some ambition. She wants to do something," Li Baiyu nodded. "Her purposefulness is very strong, which is admirable in a way, but also brings danger."

"However, don't worry, I've already had Technology Zheng keep an eye on her. Rest assured, she won't break out of my control range."

"As for what she did to you, don't worry, it won't harm you, but she did play a trick to temporarily trap you in an illusion."

"I still can't figure out her exact purpose, to avoid alerting her, I haven't interrogated her yet."

Li Baiyu spoke quietly.

Shen Jingqi thought of that evening, the various strange mental states that arose, there was a feeling of inversion, but that feeling was hard to forget.

He didn't know where it came from or why he felt that way.

It was as if it was born in the void and then dissipated, leaving behind only memories and feelings.

If Sensory Paradise is indeed a real projection, then what would it be like to live a life in Sensory Paradise?

Thinking of this, Shen Jingqi's body shivered.

Is everything pre-designed?

Is everything arranged?

Is everything transparent?

Observers!

Shen Jingqi thought again of his experience in the Sensory Paradise's online mode.

The conversation between Dean Zhang and Qin Si mentioned the matter of observers.

Qin Si longed to be an observer, but Dean Zhang seemed to disagree.

So, is Qin Si's purpose to become an observer?

"Senior, do you know about observers?"

Shen Jingqi tested by asking.

This question lingered in his mind for a long time, always finding no opportunity to ask Li Baiyu.

Li Baiyu's eyelashes lightly quivered.

Although her body didn't move at all, that one trembling eyelash was enough to prove it.

Li Baiyu should know about the observer matter.

"Why are you asking this?"

"In the online mode of Sensory Paradise, I overheard a conversation between Dean Zhang and Qin Si, they mentioned observers and seemed to have some kind of dispute, emotions were intense. That time, Qin Si also played a trick on me, she hypnotized me. But unexpectedly, her hypnosis failed, I still found out about their conversation."

Shen Jingqi briefly described the scene from that time.

Li Baiyu didn't respond.

After a long while, she raised her head and looked into the distance.

"About observers, I do know. But they are a special code name, usually, unrelated people wouldn't know. If you know, then afterward, you will also connect with it. So, you don't need to be so anxious, you will eventually know it."

Shen Jingqi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"If Qin Si's purpose is indeed to become an observer, then she will stop at nothing. Perhaps, what she did to you is also related to this."

"Looks like things have become more interesting. More and more people can't hold back."

Li Baiyu smiled faintly, as if she were observing a matter of little importance.
