"Yeah." Alice looked at No. 2 and nodded. Although she had no idea what happened last time, it was always right to go along with it.
"It's daytime now. Do you want to go play with me?" Number Two looked at Alice and suggested.
"No, I want to walk for a while by myself," Alice declined.
"Okay, then you be careful and be back before six o'clock in the evening." Number Two said as he skipped away like a little girl.
After No. 2 left, Alice breathed a sigh of relief. The unknown environment put too much pressure on her. In order not to be exposed, she had hypnotized herself twice in less than a day, which made her mind a little confused.
The first time was when she was about to reach the church. Alice hid her truest thoughts on the way, and the memory of fighting with the Fallen was buried deep in her heart. Then she set the dark environment as an anchor. When a large area of darkness appeared around her, Alice's hypnosis would end.
The second time was when fighting against a monster that came out of the darkness. In order to make her performance the same as those of the people around her and not show a big difference, Alice hypnotized herself to subconsciously follow the actions of the people around her. This time the anchor was set to a bright environment.
After standing there for a while, Alice identified the direction and decided to explore in the direction she came from yesterday. At least she had to find out what the darkness and light on the island represented, and why she felt that she was the only one who didn't know something.
After walking a few steps, Alice found that the other "Alices" had already run into the town. The town had all kinds of facilities that could satisfy the desires of almost everyone.
After turning a corner, Alice paused and asked, "Number One, are you here to relax as well?"
The hooded woman shook her head and put the hood down, revealing her old face. She looked at Alice with a kind look in her eyes, "Don't go over there. Isn't it better to stay with the other sisters?"
"Ah? Where to? I don't quite understand what you mean." Alice scratched her hair and said innocently.
"You don't have to learn to talk like No. 2. I know the personalities of all the sisters clearly." The hooded woman pulled out two stools from behind her and sat down.
Alice observed her surroundings with her peripheral vision, but didn't see any other Alices. It seemed that there were only her and No. 1 in this place. Considering their age, Alice felt that she had a better chance of killing No. 1 in a short time, and then hiding herself.
"Really? Maybe I've been with No. 2 for too long and was led over by her. Why should I imitate her?" Alice sat down while constantly sizing up the hooded woman, as if looking for an opportunity to kill her with one blow, while also considering whether this was a trap.
"Lying is No. 46's favorite thing to do, and cruelty is No. 55's personality trait. Besides, you don't have to think about how to get rid of me. On this island, sisters can't kill each other." The hooded woman's expression was still so kind.
Hmm... I can't kill the other person, which means if I want to kill those hallucinations or secondary personalities, I can only rely on other methods... No, it is also possible that she is lying to me.
Alice was also replying verbally while thinking, “You misunderstood, I’m just a little dazed, maybe I fell down yesterday and had a brain injury.”
"I know you don't believe me. I just want everyone to live well." The hooded woman spoke sincerely and believably. "So don't go there. Number 99 is too obsessed. You'll get into trouble if you go there. It's not every time that Number 2 will find you."
Alice didn't believe the sincerity in Number One's tone at all. It all seemed fake in front of psychology experts like them. It was just pretending, as if they were incompetent.
"Really? Then what's there? What's the personality of No. 99?" Alice asked directly. Since the other party has said so much, she might as well take the opportunity to collect some information.
"That's where darkness spreads, it's an endless abyss, a place where light cannot reach. The most common thing about No. 99's character is persistence." The hooded woman was very happy to answer Alice's questions, as long as she stopped moving forward.
"What about me? What am I? And you, what are you?" Alice asked a further question.
The hooded woman smiled slightly, as if she had already guessed that Alice would ask this, "You are rational, and I am coexistent."
Am I sane?!
Alice felt a little strange, she felt that the hooded woman said that she could be anything, whether it was sin, violence or anything else, she didn't care, it was just rational. To be honest, if she thought about it carefully, Alice really thought it was possible.
"Think about it carefully. I won't hurt you. Number 22 is being naughty again. I'm going to deal with her first." The hooded woman said and left in another direction.
Alice still didn't understand, but there was some truth in what Number One said. Anyway, she didn't plan to come back to where she was for the time being, so she planned to talk to all the Alices first to confirm whether the personality traits Number One said were true or false.
"You don't think that everything the old woman said is true." A voice came from beside Alice.
"What?"
"I am No. 99. It's not what she said about persistence, but resistance. As for you, it should be ambition. After all, isn't it strange to be rational? If it's rational, why would you be impulsive?" No. 99 said, leaning against the wall.
Alice smiled. "How can you guarantee that everything you say is true?"
"Whether it is true or not, you can judge for yourself. I just don't like to see that old woman fooling people again." After saying this, No. 99 left without any intention of staying.
Alice stood there. Now, it was okay. More information could be obtained from the two contradictory but not absolutely contradictory statements. However, one problem needed to be considered, that is, the statements of number one and number ninety-nine were probably neither completely true nor completely false.
After listening to these two people, Alice believed in No. 99 a little more about her own character. After all, impulse and rationality seemed to be a little incompatible. However, she still had a problem.
That is, from the current perspective, it seems that everyone at least knows their own personality traits, so why don't I have any feeling at all
In addition, through the analysis of these personality traits, Alice feels that there is another saying about this island, that is, everyone, including herself, may be part of the main personality. If so, is it really just ambition? The ambition to become the main body
