When he opened his eyes again, the intimidation and pleading in Klein's mind had all disappeared. The pale blue flame was still quietly burning on the dark candle wick.
He carefully inspected the state of his spiritual body, confirming that all traces of chaos were gone, and the color of his aura had become pure, no longer mottled.
"Finally resolved..." Klein let out a breath, put down the Sea God's Scepter, and with a snap of his fingers, instantly extinguished the Heart Demon Candle.
He did not immediately return to the real world. He sat quietly above the
After this incident, Klein understood more deeply than ever that the path of the supernatural was a road of constant struggle against madness and danger. All Beyonders, if they were the least bit careless, could, under the influence of internal factors or external stimuli, teeter on the verge of losing control, developing mental problems. And once symptoms appeared and were not resolved in time, it would become extremely difficult to save the person.
"This time, the emergence of a secondary personality had both internal and external causes... The root was that I myself am a transmigrator, but I merged with the memory fragments and some emotions of
As soon as he returned to his body, Klein suddenly felt his mind become much lighter and clearer, as if a dusty glass had been carefully wiped clean. And the extra portion of the Faceless potion had been completely digested.
The appearance of the secondary personality was indeed triggered by previous psychological issues. Solving it with the Heart Demon Candle was equivalent to receiving a comprehensive and effective "psychoanalysis." In the short term, there should be no hidden dangers in this regard, but he must still stay alert, regulate himself often, and not be negligent... Klein left the bathroom, went out to the balcony, and looked at the distant mountains and nearby greenery, feeling quite good.
He could clearly perceive that his self-awareness and self-identity had deepened, and the usual sense of detachment had significantly weakened.
"Who would have thought that defeating the secondary personality would bring such benefits... If only the secondary personality wouldn't become stronger and harder to deal with upon reappearance, I'd want to split a few more times and kill 'myself' a few more times..." Klein shook his head with a wry smile, mocking himself.
Frankly speaking, for anyone else, even one such split personality would be quite dangerous and difficult to resolve. Only he, knowing where the Heart Demon Candle was, how to get it, understanding the essence of the problem and having experience in dealing with it, could eliminate the hidden danger in time and not let the secondary personality grow. At best, it would have been the state Bishop
"Besides, I have a psychologist backup..." Klein chuckled softly, slowly walked back into the room, and sat down in an armchair.
He savored the day's experiences again, extracting things to pay attention to in the future: "If a middle-sequence of the Sleepless pathway loses control, it can directly cause spiritual pollution by pulling people into dreams. I must be careful in the future..."
Below high sequences, most lost-control Beyonders cannot do this. They often mutate into monsters and use corresponding superpower abilities to control or attack targets, making it difficult to pass on their own pollution.
"Besides the lost-control middle-sequence of the Sleepless pathway, those of the Spectator pathway should be able to do the same... When encountering such enemies, if you don't eliminate them first, you won't even know how to defend... Also, although I have figured out the state of the internal guardians and their relationship with the sealing core, a corresponding problem has arisen: if I want to infiltrate in disguise, how can I create the appearance of being corrupted by the sealing core without being discovered by it?" Klein thought carefully for a while, but had no idea at all, so he stood up, walked to his desk, picked up a fountain pen, and on a white sheet of paper drew a composite symbol of concealment and peeping.
He was summoning the Magic Mirror
The surface of the full-body mirror in the master bedroom suddenly rippled with invisible waves, and dots of silver light leaped out, forming Loen runes: "Great and supreme master, your loyal, humble, and obedient servant Arrodes is always waiting to serve you."
"My previous actions have caused some damage to your current image. I... I am very worried and guilty. Can... can you accept my apology?"
It actually knew to admit its mistake this time... Klein gave a "hmph" and said, "Don't make the same mistake again next time."
"Alright!" New words burst out on the surface of the full-body mirror. "What can I do for you?"
"There is something." Klein considered for a moment and said, "The internal guardians of the
Those silver words writhed and changed, forming new content: "Great master, there is only one way: sacrifice your marionette. Let it accept the erosion of the sealing core's power, gradually changing its state to match those internal guardians. Then you can accommodate it in your body and deceive the sealing core."
