Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1124: Chapter 670: Third Personality (Part 3)

Qing Chen was also stunned, he looked at Zard.

To know, the other party had previously only mentioned that there were two souls within Huan Yu, not a third one, and Ding Dong wouldn’t make a mistake!

“Ding Dong!”

(The child is awake at the moment, while the other two are asleep and show no fluctuation.)

Qing Chen remained silent. Earlier, when Zard mentioned this, he caught some clues, but since the battle had just ended, he didn’t have time to ponder over the hidden issues behind these clues.

Now, he finally understood the problem in Zard’s words.

Currently, no one knows whether they became Time Travelers through physical transmigration, soul transmigration, both, or the fusion of individuals from both the Outer World and the Inner World.

Qing Chen had observed his own body and confirmed he transmigrated physically, but he was too special – being an Internal Test Player, so his observations couldn’t be generalized.

As for an ordinary person like Jiang Xue, crossing over there resulted in directly having a mechanical arm.

This indirectly highlighted the difference between Internal Test Players and Public Test Players.

At present, the most critical issue was that the Huan Yu whom Qing Chen first encountered was crazy and evil, known as the “creepy freak” whom Qing Chen found disgusting.

But recently, Huan Yu whom Qing Chen interacted with didn’t feel like that at all. Although ambitious, he couldn’t be said to be evil.

Moreover, unexpectedly, no one mentioned “whoever finds whom first, the other becomes their slave” anymore.

This kind of split feeling lingered with Qing Chen, leaving him puzzled.

So when Xiao Yu previously said “big brother is back,” Qing Chen subconsciously thought it was a dual personality, and the brother who returned was Da Yu.

But now Qing Chen realized, Xiao Yu said brother is back, but he never specified which brother, and he actually had two brothers!

This was a tri-personality!

Qing Chen suddenly looked at Zard: “What’s actually happening?”

There was yet another issue, under normal circumstances, even if one has mental disabilities they aren’t casually sent to a mental institution.

People commonly see mentally challenged individuals on the streets, some harassing others, some directing traffic every day, or doing all sorts of strange things.

No one really cares.

If it was merely an intellectual developmental disorder without posing a societal threat, Xiao Yu wouldn’t have been detained in a mental institution.

Many people subconsciously believe, the mentally ill should be institutionalized, but this is not true.

One must know, all patients forcibly put into mental institutions must have done something offensive at some point.

Zard scratched his head: “Back then Xiao Yu was hospitalized because he found the murderer of his parents and then retaliated in some brutal manner. After this incident, the police filed charges but due to his mental issues, he ended up in a mental institution.”

Qing Chen gasped.

Xiao Yu silently listened on the side, appearing a bit pitiful and helpless.

Zard continued: “Xiao Yu actually had a dual personality all along, let’s just call it Zhong Yu. That murder case was done by Zhong Yu. Actually, that personality was pretty good, helping me punish those who bullied me, but always makes people somewhat scared… After the transference event, the dual personality suddenly turned into a tri-personality, and Da Yu appeared. But Da Yu was very special, not emerging because of a disorder but suddenly merging with insider knowledge of the Inner World. Da Yu is a core member of the Chen’s Consortium in the Inner World, he discovered this matter and deemed one of the personalities a threat to the main body, so he found a chance to write a letter to Xiao Yu, both of them together locked away the second personality… though I don’t know how they locked it.”

Zard said: “Da Yu seemed to have mentioned this before, he also wrote a letter to the second personality explaining their situation, currently it’s not suitable for the second personality to come out, I don’t know how he achieved it but he persuaded the other. Yet Da Yu also mentioned if one day it becomes necessary, he will voluntarily release the second personality, and it’s a personality that could drag the whole world to hell.”

Qing Chen: “It seems you have a good relationship with Da Yu, by what you’re saying, he should be a native of the Inner World, shouldn’t have had any association with you before?”

Zard: “Initially Da Yu didn’t like me very much, nor did he like Xiao Yu, Zhong Yu. But somehow later, he began treating Xiao Yu as a brother, therefore was a bit nicer to me for Xiao Yu’s sake.”

Qing Chen remained silent for a while, not realizing Xiao Yu had so many stories.

Xiao Yu stood on the side, eyes rimmed with red: “Will I not be able to play with you all in the future?”

Qing Chen was taken aback, he probably understood why Da Yu regarded Xiao Yu as a brother.

He looked at Xiao Yu, patting the kid’s head: “Don’t be afraid, it’s okay, we won’t fear you because of this. But you and your brother Da Yu should manage the second personality, his presence will endanger everyone.”

Xiao Yu looked down: “Actually, he’s always been good to me.”

“Mhm, I understand,” Qing Chen smiled and said, “Let’s have some fruits first, later I’ll take you all to see the sunset from atop the World Tree, it’s beautiful. By the way, there are several tender sprouts of Realm camellia waiting for you to stir-fry at the academy.”

“Okay,” Xiao Yu became happy again.

Kids are easy to console.

At this moment, Qing Chen turned to look at Zard again: “What about you, what did you do to end up like that at the time?”

Zard chuckled: “I was wrongly accused.”

“Oh? How so?” Qing Chen was curious.

“An uncle from upstairs said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with me at night in his house,” Zard said, “In the end, I climbed along the gas pipe to his window in the middle of the night, and he was so frightened he started yelling. He’s also one of our fellow patients, living just in the next ward, thinks about hitting people all day long.”

“Which floor does he live on?” Qing Chen asked.

“18th floor.”

Qing Chen understood, realizing that the uncle probably wasn’t a good person and had some strange penchant.

The uncle intended to lure Zard home, likely considering Zard mentally unsound, planning to bully him.

But little did he know, Zard didn’t even go through the door but climbed up to the 18th floor window, peeking his head in, who wouldn’t be baffled by it?

Yet Qing Chen didn’t sympathize with the uncle, he deserved it.

“But just because of this, they sent you to a mental institution?” Qing Chen queried in confusion.

Zard thought for a moment and said: “My parents passed away, my aunt and uncle claimed to take care of me, moved into our house, and my aunt always disliked me, so she took this opportunity to send me to a mental hospital.”

So that’s how it was, Qing Chen sighed internally, in the end it came down to that house being too coveted.

“Let’s go, it’s time,” Qing Chen smiled and said, “Yang Yang, you take them up, Ding Dong and I will climb ourselves.”

With that, he and Ding Dong started to climb the World Tree’s trunk with both hands and feet, heading toward the canopy, where under the sunset, the vast canopy of the World Tree resembled stunning 3D effects.

About ten minutes later, everyone sat side by side on the thickest branch, letting the warm evening sun illuminate their faces and bodies.

High above, beyond the distant mountain range is where the sun settles.

Yang Yang slowly leaned her head against Qing Chen’s shoulder, not caring how tense the boy beside her was, she softly asked: “What are your plans next?”

“Go to City 10 to kill Qing Wen, then head to City 18 to take away the over nine hundred intelligence personnel of Li Cheng and Qing Ling, although they are now honored, they are not heavily relied upon due to worries of Jindai-trained spies within them by both the Li Family and Qing’s Family.”

Just like how undercover agents, after returning to the police force, often find it difficult to reintegrate, those people at the A02 base had been there for so many years, no one knows if any of them have been turned by Jindai.

But Qing Chen doesn’t mind, he has Ding Dong, just needs to bring them to the Taboo Land, naturally, he will know if any spies are hidden among them.

Apart from spies, these people are absolutely loyal to Qing Chen. If Parents’ Meeting is Qing Chen’s first support group, then these people are Qing Chen’s second support group.

His own team.

“What about you? What’s your plan,” Qing Chen asked.

“I want to take Zard with me to build houses for the wilderness dwellers, the conditions at the settlement are quite tough, I’ve called for many Time Travelers to go settle there, need to go and have a look,” Yang Yang said.

“Alright,” Qing Chen nodded.

The sunset was too beautiful, Tuan Zi also gradually leaned against Sun Chu Ci.

Zard looked left and right, then slowly leaned against Ding Dong…
