#352 - Two Personalities (4000 words)

Chen Suya directly grabbed Shixin's neck, looking up at the stunning girl in front of her, a smirk forming on Chen Suya's lips.

That kind of wicked smile made people feel डर (dar, Hindi for fear).

Shixin looked at the woman in front of her, her eyes filled with doubt, but soon Shixin's heart understood.

Chen Suya was right.

Shixin previously thought that Chen Suya was occupying Xu Ming's mother's body, but in reality, that wasn't the case.

As Chen Suya said, Chen Suya was Chen Suya, she was actually Xu Ming's mother, and the reason for this phenomenon was entirely because Chen Suya had sealed her own memories.

When a person seals their memories, it forms a new set of memories.

A person's personality is mostly determined by memories, meaning the other person is actually the same person, just with different memories, forming two personalities.

When Chen Suya sealed her memories, she also set a certain time limit, and this seal would gradually loosen over time.

When it loosened to a certain extent, Chen Suya's other personality would take over, and the two personalities would gradually merge.

Chen Suya's current situation is that the two personalities are gradually merging.

In other words, they belong to the same person. If I were to eliminate the so-called soul that invaded Xu Ming's mother's body, it would be the same as eliminating Xu Ming's mother.

This is absolutely impossible.

"Although I didn't expect to have a child, no matter what, I had one, and I feel very proud of this child."

Chen Suya's lips curled slightly, and she threw the hand grabbing Shixin's neck heavily to the side, causing Shixin to fall heavily to the ground.

The barrier spell cast in the courtyard also gradually weakened.

Xu Ming and the others standing outside the courtyard didn't know what was happening, but when they saw the barrier spell disappear, Xu Ming felt very uneasy.

Xu Ming and Zhou Wanfeng directly entered the courtyard, and the others followed.

The instant Xu Ming entered, he saw Shixin lying on the ground.

Seeing Shixin lying on the ground, Xu Ming quickly went over to help Shixin up.

"Xu Ming, I'm sorry, I failed..." Shixin looked at Xu Ming, her eyes filled with guilt.

Although this kind of thing is basically unsolvable, even if her master came, there would be no way to solve it, but in Shixin's view, this matter was her failure, she didn't handle it well.

"It's okay, you've already done very well. Just leave the rest to me."

Xu Ming didn't blame Shixin, after all, who can say for sure that they can solve this kind of thing?

And if Shixin didn't help him, then he would do even worse than Shixin. It can only be said that the other party was a little too strong.

When she saw more and more people walking into the courtyard, Chen Suya's smile was playful.

"It's really lively tonight. I didn't expect so many people to come, it's really flattering."

Chen Suya yawned, looking very tired.

"Ming'er, this is our first time meeting~" Chen Suya looked at Xu Ming with a smile, her eyes even carrying a kind of maternal tenderness.

But in Xu Ming's opinion, the other party's kindness made him feel disgusted.

"What exactly do you want?" Xu Ming stared at the other party intently.

"Giggle giggle..." Chen Suya let out an uncomfortable laugh, "What can I do? I am who I am, I'm just being myself again, what, you don't even allow your mother to be herself?"

"..." Xu Ming clenched his fists tightly.

If he wasn't afraid of hurting his mother, Xu Ming would have punched the other party long ago.

"Ya ya ya, my dear son, don't look at me with that kind of gaze, I'll be very sad."

Chen Suya touched her heart, looking like she was heartbroken.

"Although it's hard for you to accept this reality, the fact is that I am indeed your mother.

Forget it, it's useless to say more, your current mood seems quite irritable, so let's just leave it at that for now. You and your little monk should communicate well.

After you understand the actual situation, you might be able to slowly accept it.

I'm also waiting, waiting for you to truly call me 'Mother'."

As Chen Suya's words fell, Chen Suya's eyes suddenly rolled back, and then she fell to the ground.

Xu Ming looked at his mother lying on the ground, his mind was in chaos, not knowing what had happened?

Xu Ming carried his mother into the room and covered her with a quilt.

Wang Feng and the others were even more confused, not knowing what was going on, why did the gentle woman from before suddenly become like this?

But among the crowd, only Xu Zheng's expression looked very heavy, as if he knew something, but Xu Zheng didn't say a word.

Soon, all ten imperial palace guardians arrived, asking Xu Ming what had happened?

Such a big commotion in the Xu residence would definitely be noticed by the imperial palace. Xu Ming had already prepared himself. Xu Ming thought that even if the imperial palace noticed, it would be fine.

By then, the matter would have already been resolved. After resolving it, he would go to the imperial palace to report to Emperor Wu.

But judging from the current situation, he had to explain the situation to Emperor Wu first.

Xu Ming called the old lady and his cheap old man, and the ten guardians of the imperial palace into his courtyard.

And Shixin and the others were naturally also inside.

Xu Ming first explained to everyone what the situation was, why such a thing happened, and then introduced Shixin.

Shixin looked at everyone and sighed heavily:

"Originally, I thought that Madam Xu was occupied by someone, but during the fight, I discovered that the truth was not so.

Actually, Madam Xu was not occupied by anyone.

When Madam Xu and I used the final blow, I actually hid a spell in that blow.

This spell could directly pierce through the other party's soul.

But the problem was that when my spell was about to be executed, I sensed that there was only one soul inside Madam Xu's body.

At that time, I realized that what this person said was right, she really is your mother..."

When Shixin said the last sentence, the whole place fell into silence, especially Xu Ming.

Xu Ming took a deep breath: "It's okay, Miss Shixin, just say it, I can handle it."

Shixin nodded: "Actually, it's like this. In the soul techniques I've learned, there are only three situations where a person's body has two souls.

The first situation is the most common situation, which is that a cultivator's soul enters another person's body and then fights with the original soul for control of the body.

Another situation is that a person occupies their own original body, and then this person absorbs the souls of others into their own body.

This situation often occurs in evil techniques that absorb the souls of others for cultivation.

And when this person absorbs the other party's soul, if they don't completely devour the other party's soul, they are very likely to suffer backlash.

It is possible that the two people will fight for the body.

As for the third situation..."

Shixin paused for a moment and continued.

"The third situation is the situation that Madam Xu is currently experiencing.

When a person wants to escape or avoid some kind of calculation, they will seal their original memories, thus creating a completely blank situation.

You must know that the most important component of a person's soul is memory, which determines a person's personality, and thus determines a person's essence.

If a person seals their original memories, then at this time, this person is like a blank sheet of paper, and everything they experience will turn into memories, constantly writing and filling this blank sheet of paper.

Over time, another personality will form.

And when the originally sealed memories gradually awaken, it will lead to a situation similar to two souls occupying one body, which is the current situation of Madam Xu.

Although Madam Xu has two personalities, in essence, they are the same soul.

If I were to erase the other party, then I would erase both personalities, and Madam Xu would no longer exist."

"..."

Listening to Shixin's explanation, Xu Ming already understood completely.

"Then Shixin, is there any way to solve this situation?" Xu Ming asked.

"As of now, there is no way, even if my master came, it would be the same."

Shixin sighed, her eyes also filled with deep, deep disappointment.

"In this situation, there is no question of who devours whom, nor is it a problem that any external force can solve.

At this time, it completely depends on what Madam Xu's own will is like.

The memories of the two will eventually merge with each other, this is a certainty.

But even if the memories merge with each other, it will form a very delicate balance, and there will definitely be one personality that occupies the dominant position, and then slowly absorbs and accepts the other memory.

If Madam Xu's personality wins, then Madam Xu will inherit the previous memories. Madam Xu will still be Madam Xu, but with an extra set of memories. Madam Xu's personality will still be the one you, Shixin, are familiar with.

But if the other set of memories devours Madam Xu's memories, meaning the other personality takes over, Madam Xu will become very unfamiliar.

Xu Ming: "How long will this memory fusion take?"

Shixin thought for a moment: "I can't estimate the exact time, but at the latest, it won't exceed three months.

After three months, everything will be settled.

And during this period, Madam Xu's current personality and the previous personality will take turns controlling this body."

Xu Ming sighed softly, looking very tired: "I understand, Shixin. You've really worked hard tonight, and you were even put in such great danger."

Shixin shook his head: "It's nothing. On the contrary, I'm very sorry that I couldn't help you more."

"Shixin, you've already helped a lot. Go and get some rest. We can only slowly solve the problems that come after." Xu Ming smiled.

Although this kind of thing is indeed very difficult to accept, it has happened, and I have to face it and solve it step by step. There's no use in regretting it.

Xu Ming asked Zhou Wanfeng to take Shixin to rest in his courtyard. There were several side rooms in Xu Ming's courtyard, which were enough to live in.

"Lord Wenwu, since there are no problems at the moment, we should return to the palace to report. If anything happens, please come to the palace in time, Lord Wenwu."

The ten palace guardians from the palace said to Xu Ming.

These guardians were all in the Upper Five Realms, and one was even in the Ascension Realm. While listening to Shixin's words, this Ascension Realm cultivator didn't say a word, which meant that he was also powerless.

Otherwise, there was no reason for this great Ascension Realm cultivator not to help him.

"So many things happened tonight, disturbing everyone. Please forgive me, and thank you very much for being able to arrive in time." Xu Ming bowed to the ten palace guardians.

"Lord Wenwu, you're too kind. Lord Wenwu is the pillar of the country, so nothing can happen to you. And even if Lord Wenwu wants to thank someone, you should thank His Majesty. When His Majesty sensed that something had happened to Lord Wenwu, he immediately sent us all here."

One of the guardians said.

Xu Ming nodded: "I will definitely enter the palace another day to thank His Majesty properly."

After the ten palace guardians left, the others in the courtyard didn't stay here either. Although they were all ordinary people, they were well-informed and knew what had happened.

Wang Feng, the Old Madam, and Xu Ming's cheap old father, and others from the Xu mansion comforted Xu Ming before leaving.

Only Xu Ming was left in the entire courtyard. Xu Ming sighed, looking at the bright moonlight, and didn't close his eyes until dawn.

And no one disturbed Xu Ming. Everyone knew that they couldn't help, and disturbing Xu Ming now, even if they said some words of comfort, would only add to his troubles.

Then, at noon, Chunyan ran into the courtyard:

"Young Master, Young Master, Madam is awake…"

… …

[I remember the typhoon hadn't been here for long, how come another one suddenly came? I always feel like there are so many typhoons today, but I have to say, this typhoon is really cool.

Unknowingly, it's already winter, and there are only two months left in this year. I always feel like I haven't accomplished anything this year, like I haven't done anything.

In the blink of an eye, I'm almost 30 years old.]
