"What did he tell you?" When Hill came back, Rand asked calmly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"It's a big trouble. We didn't intend to hide it from you, but I'm more suitable than you to deal with it!" The shepherd smiled wryly.
Hill and Rand communicated in private for a while, and there was an indelible worry on the face of Fireworks.
Qin Lun's mental problems will undoubtedly have an impact on the apostle team they are about to form. And the five major murderers have grown to the current stage, each time they will be assigned to a very difficult task in another world, and they can no longer break away from the team.
"Can he recover?" Rand asked cautiously.
"He doesn't know. He said that the recovery time is getting longer and longer, and there will be a lot of sequelae after recovery, and part of the memory will be lost. The most important thing is the loss of emotion. He will lose the emotion between us. and the trust that has been built.”
Hill said with a wry smile, "This guy is more troublesome than the rest of us. His brain and emotions are like computer chips that are regularly formatted. Originally, Joey Foster, one of the two personalities, was the emotional processing center. However, once Joey can't take it anymore, and they're both going to disappear at some point..."
"What will happen then?" Rand's face changed, and he had some bad premonitions.
"He doesn't know. Qin Lun said that he can't recall any memories about the formatting period. He only knows that every time this time, there will be serious crimes around him." Hill shook his head and said, "He was in the Handan Severe Penalty Prison, It was for this reason that I shot my fellow death row inmates and prison guards for no reason on several occasions.”
"The third violent personality?" Rand asked softly, narrowing his eyes.
"No, he originally thought it was the third temporary self-preservation personality, but later found out that it wasn't." Hill said solemnly, "He felt that this was a sign of the slow recovery of schizotypal personality disorder!"
Whether it is schizotypal personality disorder or other mental illnesses, it can be attributed to a problem with a certain part of a person's physical and psychological cognition. Such diseases can be cured by correcting the patient's three views and cognition.
When Qin Lun had mental problems, he was still a child, without a complete three views and cognition of the world. And as he learned a lot of knowledge in Handan Prison and completed a whole set of psychology, his Three Views began to improve theoretically. The later adventures in the Broken Starry Sky gave him the opportunity to practice and accelerated the process in disguise.
During the prison period, Qin Lun's original mental illness showed signs of recovery, but at that time no psychologist could identify his mental state.
Qin Lun gradually realized this through several emotional formatting in Handan Prison. It's just that he still has no way to deal with it, because the more he experiences, the deeper his understanding of human emotions and the outside world, the faster his "disease" will heal.
Compared with the personalities of Qin Lun and Joey, they have been "drinking poison to quench their thirst" all the time.
"Sill, you mean..." Rand slowly widened his eyes.
"Well, I was also taken aback when he first made this assertion. We all read about Qin Lun's deeds before he was imprisoned in the newspapers, and basically believed that the appearance of the 'Dissecter' was the result of Qin Lun's childhood caused by the tragic experience of the times."
Hill frowned and said, "But think about it in reverse, if the two existing personalities, Qin Lun and Joey, are not master personalities, but each represent a part of them, and both belong to the kind side, then What will be the result?"
"Joy is violent and cruel, and Qin Lun is cruel, both of which belong to the kind side of the protagonist... I can't imagine, that's really terrible!" Rand shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I can't imagine Qin Lun at that age, The personality is already so distorted and tyrannical!"
"There are all kinds of lambs in this world, so we need the guidance of the shepherd and God!" Hill curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.
"Do you want to eat the crooked lamb like you?" Rand rolled his eyes and asked in distress, "Do you need me to do something?"
"No need, Qin Lun just said that he should not trust 'him' again, he should recover again. It is not easy to fully recover from his illness." Hill frowned and said, "However, wait for him Waking up again, we still need to do him a favor!"
"Help him reconstruct the lost part of his memory?" Rand's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood.
"Well, it's hard to regain emotion after losing it, but memory can be rebuilt, at least it can keep him in our team of five." Hill sighed and said helplessly.
"But this is just an expedient measure. You also said that he has been 'drinking poison to quench his thirst', so there is no way to get rid of this emotional formatting?" Rand asked with a frown.
"Get rid of it? How to get rid of it? Restrict Qin Lun's personal freedom and prevent him from continuing to gain knowledge of the world and emotions?"
Hill and Rand looked at each other and smiled wryly. This is indeed an unsolvable proposition.
"Qin Lun has come to his senses, and he asked us to help him restore his memory as much as possible. In this way, even if at some point, both he and Joey disappear forever, the main character will be affected by the memories and emotions that remain over and over again, and may be recovering If he continues to stay in the team, it will not have too much impact on us and the people around him."
"That kind of Qin Lun...is he still Qin Lun!" Rand said with a heavy heart.
The two slowly fell silent, and they both understood in their hearts. Even if these arrangements are made and the main character can retain some memories, he is no longer Qin Lun and Joey, and those memories will be the last traces of them left in the world.
"If it's as simple as killing the main character, we can keep the current Qin Lun, I think all of us will do our best." Hill said expressionlessly, "It's a pity that he can only rely on himself, we can't do anything .”
"Forget it, let's do the task first!" Rand waved his hand a little irritably, and strode to keep up with the team that had gone far away.
…
As time went by, Gilliam moved faster and faster, and it seemed that the induction in the dark became stronger.
"Light ahead!" cheered the dwarves in the procession after rounding a corner of the maze.
In a dark and gloomy region, the appearance of any light will bring unparalleled feelings to people. Especially Qin Lun and others are surface creatures themselves. Although many people in the team have night vision and micro vision capabilities, the sudden appearance of light will always make people's spirits shocked.
"Be careful, everyone, we've probably reached the core area of the Minotaur's lair!" Gilliam ordered solemnly, and waved his hand, gesturing for Newton, the shield guard of Weiss' team, to come forward and walk side by side with him.
The dignified expression of the legendary strong man cheered up everyone, maintained a defensive formation that did not seek merit but did not seek fault, and slowly walked towards the bright exit.
When everyone walked out of this last passage and stood at the exit, they couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
This is a long hall. The conical dome is several times higher than the maze outside. It is about 20 meters high and about 100 meters long. There are more than a dozen gray and white colonnades neatly arranged on both sides of the hall, and each colonnade requires two people to hug each other.
The architectural style is similar to the ancient Roman temples on the earth. There are stone piers with braziers at intervals under the colonnades. At this time, a strange milky white flame was burning inside the brazier, illuminating the entire hall.
The off-white pillars and the ground depict the battle reliefs of the Minotaur and the underground creatures. At a glance, it gives people a mysterious and heavy sense of history.
However, at this time, the floor of the hall was covered with the limbs and arms of the spider elves and the Minotaur. All kinds of internal organs and blood smeared the hall, and the gaps in the stone slabs were outlined with blood. Weird patterns.
There is an open door at the end of the hall, where a desperate struggle is taking place.
On the side outside the door are a dozen or so spider elves and seven drow elves. Among the drow elves, two women are wearing black priest robes, and the remaining five are drow warriors wearing leather armor and holding scimitars. .
Except for two adult Minotaurs who were roaring and brandishing battle axes, the rest were basically juvenile Minotaurs who were significantly smaller in size and had immature faces. What is strange is that among these minotaurs, there are also two drow elves, a man and a woman, who are helping the minotaur to resist the spider elves and drow outside the door.
The drow who defected from the dungeon! Gilliam and the others immediately came to their senses, and now they knew why the spider elves, who originally only served the queen of the spider god, would attack the minotaur labyrinth. The Minotaurs were apparently implicated by the two defected drow.
If the defection of the two drow elves aroused the anger of the Spider God Queen, then there would be a reasonable explanation for the spider elves joining the hunting team in the dungeon.
Because the portal was not wide enough, the spider elves and drow outside the gate had to take turns to fight, and there was nothing they could do to deal with the enemies inside the gate. However, this only prolongs the fighting time. As the physical strength of the two adult Minotaurs and the defecting elves decline, they will undoubtedly die.
"We are followers of Eilistraee, adventurers on the surface, please help us!"
Because it was facing the door at the back of the hall, the Minotaur and the two defected drow inside the door were the first to see the exploration team at the other end. The eyes of the female elf among them lit up, and she called for help without hesitation.
Following her call for help, the spider elves and Zolton who hadn't noticed the exploration team were startled and turned their heads to look. Among the two drow priests, the older drow priest immediately raised his staff, and several spider elves and drow warriors who did not participate in the battle rushed towards the exploration team.
"The followers of the dark maiden...help them!" Hearing Eilistraee's divine name, Mustasia's eyes flashed, and she drew her longbow without hesitation.
