Chapter 73: A Lesbian? The Dangerous Personality
This statement left the Pig Player utterly bewildered.
It really was Dissociative Identity Disorder!
Nowadays, even game prompts deceive players?
He turned to flee, but the door seemed locked tight.
Meanwhile, Black Mucus enveloped Gu Meng's body, dripping from the chair onto the floor and spreading outward.
Ji Yan watched the scene, rubbing his hair vigorously with both hands.
He wanted to summon the Blood-Stained Paper Figure—if the Alternate Personality lost control, it might physically intervene.
Even if the figure was only half intact...
But the Blood-Stained Paper Figure was defiant. The more Ji Yan willed it to appear, the deeper it hid.
It even tugged at Ji Yan's hair in refusal...
Helpless, Ji Yan had no choice but to give up.
Over there, as the Black Mucus receded, Gu Meng reopened her eyes.
To Ji Yan's surprise, Gu Meng hadn’t transformed into a monster. The changes were subtle—just significantly longer hair and an exquisitely applied makeup that exuded an elusive, sinister charm.
"Ahem..."
"I’m the doctor assigned to care for you. How are you feeling now?" Aware of the personality shift, Ji Yan attempted to engage.
"Where have you hidden her?"
The voice made Ji Yan freeze.
Female...
Gu Meng’s lover was a woman. She was... a lesbian?
This was unexpected, and for a moment, Ji Yan’s prepared lines turned awkward on his tongue.
"Regarding you and your... partner, as your doctor, I must tell you something. It might be hard to accept, but it’s the truth."
Ji Yan reiterated his fabricated version of events.
He handed her the Drawing Paper, continuing to feed her lies: "You share this body. Though you’re right beside each other, you’re fated never to meet."
"It’s cruel, but at least, during your alternating periods, you can see what the other does each day. In a way, it’s like... an eternal bond?"
The Alternate Personality ignored Ji Yan’s flowery words. She flipped through the Drawing Paper, studying each family portrait of the Master Personality.
Her delicate expression flickered unpredictably.
After a moment, she raised her eyes, staring at Ji Yan with a faint, ambiguous smile.
"So you’re saying she’s inside my body?"
Ji Yan nodded. "Yes. Sleep is when you alternate control. When she sleeps, you awaken."
Ji Yan had assumed the drawings would be precious to the Alternate Personality. Yet, the next second, the paper crumbled to ash in her jade-like hands.
"Goat Doctor, did you know? I don’t need sleep."
"So, when I take over this body, do you know what that means?"
The Alternate Personality countered with a smile.
Ji Yan’s face stiffened slightly. "What does it mean?"
"It means she’s dead. Now, I am the sole Master of this body."
"..."
This wasn’t how things were supposed to unfold.
The Alternate Personality’s temperament... seemed to have derailed from his fabricated narrative.
Ji Yan’s lips twitched. "Aren’t you two—"
"Not lovers, right?"
"Goat Doctor, did you expect us to be inseparable? Hah. That was just her delusion. I grew tired of it long ago."
"She's like a piece of sticky mud I couldn't shake off before, but now I've finally gotten rid of her. Now, I can devote myself wholeheartedly to my new favorite." Gu Meng slowly lifted one foot, propping her chin with a hand, her smile inscrutable. "Doctor, guess what I like?"
Ji Yan felt something was terribly off.
That gaze...
That tone...
It was too similar to the Charming Specter back in the Crimson Apartment!
"What do you like?" The Pig Player, who had been hiding behind Ji Yan and too afraid to speak, couldn't help but blurt out.
"I like eating little lambs. Their skin and flesh are so fragrant and tender..."
The Pig Player glanced at Ji Yan, his eyes a mix of sympathy and a hint of schadenfreude.
Feeling the scorching, predatory gaze on him, Ji Yan's hair stood on end.
He couldn't help but think, "Is she another masochist?"
"No, judging by the way she's looking at me like she wants to devour me, she's clearly a sadist!"
The "Lies Become Reality" privilege had been triggered, but whether the sheepskin scroll misunderstood or some bug occurred, the Alternate Personality's settings had been completely distorted.
She was no longer obsessed with the Master.
Instead, she had set her sights on him?!
"Well, since your condition is stable now, you should rest well."
"I have other patients to attend to, so I'll take my leave. I'll check on you another day."
Whether it was the Master or the Alternate Personality, as long as her condition was stable, his Mission was over. Right now, Ji Yan just wanted to wrap this up as quickly as possible and sever all ties.
But when the two tried to leave, the door seemed glued shut, refusing to budge.
Gu Meng stood up, her pale skin glaringly stark under the dim light.
As she approached, both of them tensed, and Ji Yan tightened his grip on the Grandmother's Embroidery Needle.
"Don't be nervous. I'm perfectly stable now."
"I'm not stopping you from leaving. I just wanted to thank the Goat Doctor by giving you a painting as a welcome gift."
"After all, if not for the Goat Doctor, I wouldn't exist..."
Hearing this, the Pig Player nudged Ji Yan forward. "Don't refuse her kindness. Take it and let's get out of here!"
She took the Drawing Paper, but the Dye accidentally spilled.
Staring at the blank sheet, the Alternate Personality Gu Meng turned her gaze to the Pig Player. "Let me borrow some Dye."
"What?"
Before the Pig Player could react, a slender finger tapped his shoulder, and in the next instant, a terrifying Specter Power enveloped him.
The Pig Player trembled violently as thick, viscous blood gushed from his body, splashing into the dye basin.
He seemed hollowed out, his once plump and bloated frame rapidly withering into skin and bones.
Staggering back, he gasped for breath and pointed accusingly at Ji Yan. "If you needed Dye, why drain me?"
"Drain him instead!"
Gu Meng continued painting calmly. "He has weak kidneys."
Ji Yan: "..."
Soon, the painting was finished and handed to Ji Yan.
"This is my gift to you, Goat Doctor. You must keep it safe."
"Trust me, you'll find it useful someday."
The Alternate Personality Gu Meng rested her chin on her hand, her eyes alluring yet laced with a serpentine menace.
Ji Yan held the Drawing Paper, his eye twitching slightly as he took in the image.
In the drawing paper, Ji Yan sat on a chair while the Alternate Personality Gu Meng embraced his neck from behind, her hair swirling wildly in the air. Each strand of her white hair was a chilling white snake, radiating a bloody glow as they coiled around Ji Yan's body like shackles.
The painting made Ji Yan deeply uncomfortable.
In the drawing paper, Gu Meng's image was that of Medusa.
And he—he resembled a slave imprisoned and enslaved by her.
What was this woman trying to convey?
Not lingering any longer in this unsettling ward, Ji Yan immediately retreated the moment the door cracked open.
After the Pig Player followed him out, Gu Meng raised her finger, her red lips parting slightly as she sucked the blood from her fingertips.
A smirk curled at the corner of her mouth, her exquisite beauty gradually revealing obsession and intense possessiveness: "What an intoxicating scent..."
