4265 The Other Side 234

"How is that possible?" The actor was incredulous. "Is it possible that such a sanctioner can even completely dominate the primary personality?"

"Maybe not dominate, but again, it's hard to rule it out completely."

"You might as well not have said that." The actor continued, "It's no different from a doctor telling a cancer patient that there's a chance of a cure but one can't rule out the possibility that the patient won't be able to survive it.'"

"I've already said that even the most authoritative science is inconclusive. In fact, there are many things in this world that humans haven't explored and understood. The so-called 'science' is the answer that is known and verified."

Alice emphasized this, then added, "However, what has already been learned through Professor Romanka's conclusion, is that the sanctioner's dominance is rather terrifying."

Hua Jin was suddenly worried. "It can't destroy the primary personality, can it?" He paused, then continued, "I remember it was mentioned previously, that the primary personality was not to be challenged. it would not be dominated, let alone destroyed."

"Yes, that's right." Alice frowned, then suddenly said, "But that's only in theory. For example, after many experiments, through electrocution, and even many such experiments, other personalities indeed have a chance of disappearing. There's a rather profound theory that these personalities are driven to exile. But the world of split personalities and multiple personalities is very complicated. After all, this condition isn't like having a fracture. One can find out through X-rays what a fracture is like. It's very difficult for the outside world to probe into the world of these patients. You can't enter their minds, so you can't probe what sort of earth-shattering changes are happening inside their bodies."

"And so, you're saying…"

"Professor Romanka and I speculated that the sanctioner was unable to destroy the primary personality. However, if there's a delusion, if the primary personality was killed in a dream by the sanctioner… What if he perceived himself to be already dead? The death of self-awareness is like a vegetative state. He thinks he's awake, but he's actually still alive. He's just asleep, but he doesn't have the consciousness to wake up. Perhaps such a sleep is not far from death."

"…"

Ploughing through the confusion, the actor finally understood what she meant.

It was nothing more than…

Take the example where the sanctioner personality is created out of Natalia's body, and then it destroyed the primary personality in a dream, or a hallucination. If the primary personality felt he was dead and didn't realize he'd died only in a dream, he could go into an endless sleep that is no different from death.

"Do you know," Alice said in a serious tone, "If Gong Fan had not taken the initiative to unleash Youyou in his consciousness, perhaps Youyou will still be trapped in an endless seal."

The actor drew in a sharp breath. "So the idea that the primary personality can not be destroyed is theoretical. But there are so many unknowns in our unknown realm that no one can be certain what will happen to Natalia and Youyou."
