4352 The Other Side 321

That evening, Alice took the Youyou to the laboratory and waited for Romanka.

Sitting in the lab, the boy was clearly uneasy. He confirmed again, "In this hypnosis, I'll be able to see Gong Fan, right?"

"Yes."

Youyou was suddenly nervous. Before this, he had learned through Alice that there were other personalities inhabiting his body. That meant that the chances of encountering other personalities in the dreamscape would be very high. In other words, he could very well run into the other personalities before he met Gong Fan.

"Can you be sure that the people I see in my dream when under hypnosis are my other personalities?"

"Yes."

"Then, if that personality looks like the others, how would I be able to tell?"

He asked, because Gong Fan had written in his diary that he had dreamed of people who looked exactly like Youyou trying to hunt him down.

Gong Fan had previously suspected that this person was Youyou, but after knowing that there might be other personalities residing in this body, he had become suspicious of them. Perhaps this personality who looked exactly like Youyou was someone else.

Youyou then suspected that there were two personalities inside the body who looked exactly like them.

Multiple personalities might look the same, but the chances of them being different were higher. For example, there was a patient with a dozen personalities residing in his body. However, these personalities had different faces. There were blond girls, middle-aged men, and even FBI detectives, and they each played different roles.

Alice's head began to throb. "Your condition is a little more complicated, Youyou, so I can't say for certain who you'll meet in this hypnosis session, but it's always good to be on the alert."

"Why do you say that?"

Alice's expression was a grim one. "Because, in a dream, any personality other than yours will disappear completely if it is fatally damaged."

"…"

The boy quickly realized what she meant and shuddered.

He had not expected this experiment to be so risky and began to feel afraid. "You mean that if someone kills Gong Fan in my dream, Gong Fan's personality will really disappear completely…?"

"That's right."

"What about me?"

"You won't disappear! You must always remember that!" Alice was suddenly agitated.

Youyou was startled by her jumpiness.

"First, you must remember that you are the primary personality. In your dreams, no matter what attacks you encounter, you will never disappear. You will never be destroyed! No matter what harm you suffer, even if it feels real, you must not believe it. Otherwise…"

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise you'll never be able to wake up and the other personalities will take over your body."

The boy gasped in spite of himself.

"If you believe that you're dead, your personality will subconsciously think that you're dead, like what happened previously. You'll fall into a deep sleep. At that point, if something happens to you and Gong Fan, the other undesirable personalities will occupy your body. It'll be extremely difficult to enter the hypnosis to retrieve your personality. Therefore, you have to understand that no matter how badly you're damaged, you're different from Gong Fan. You'll never be destroyed!"
