Chapter 544: Loss of Self!

"Speak in detail." Hearing this, the Chen Ran from the other space hurriedly urged.

The Han Fei from the other space walked to the front of Ying Siliang's corpse and slowly said: "Those who can descend to Hell were basically bad people before they died. But there are two types of people who are very special. First are the legendary True Self Players, and second are Stowaways."

"True Self Players aren't something we players can discuss, but rumor has it that True Self Players were all good people before they died."

"Stowaways, how should I say it, rumor has it that Stowaways were not bad people before they died."

The rest of the players understood the difference between these two special types of players. True Self Players were all good people when alive, and Stowaways were all...

Not bad people when alive.

"Stowaways aren't bad people, yet they descended to Hell. What do you think is the reason?" The Han Fei from the other space looked at Chen Ran.

The Chen Ran from the other space pondered briefly and had an answer: "You mean to say that even if a Stowaway did bad things when alive, they couldn't be judged as a bad person?"

"That's right." Han Fei nodded: "Stowaways all suffered from mental illness when alive, to be exact, they all had secondary personalities."

"Logically speaking, when a Stowaway's body dies in life, both the main and secondary personalities would die and arrive in Hell at the same time. According to Hell's mechanics, they would share one body and independently enter Instances."

"But, Hell's mechanics are actually sometimes very fair."

"For example, if a Stowaway killed the secondary personality when alive through medication or psychological counseling, then the secondary personality would come into Hell first. After the main personality died, if the two still shared one body, then for the main personality, it would be too unfair."

Everyone nodded. The secondary personality died first and came to Hell. Before the main personality died, the secondary personality very likely was already Six or Seven-Star. If after the main personality died, they shared one body with the secondary personality, it indeed was unfair to the main personality.

But, Lin Jiabao and Lin Jiabei's kind, perishing together when alive, both coming to Hell and sharing one body, was very reasonable.

"So to speak, if the secondary personality died first when alive, and the main personality died later, they wouldn't share one body in Hell?" The Chen Ran from the other space frowned and asked.

"That's right. The appearance of the secondary personality implicated the main personality into coming to Hell. Therefore, the main personality is called a Stowaway."

"In other words, in Hell there very likely exists one of his secondary personalities who came to Hell even earlier than Ying Siliang. This secondary personality is very likely already a High-Star player."

Lin Xuan was somewhat dumbfounded: "You wouldn't be trying to say that Ying Siliang's secondary personality wants to take revenge for his main personality, would you?"

The Han Fei from the other space shook his head: "A secondary personality doesn't have this kind of consciousness. However, this involves the issue of Heart Cultivation."

"We are all at the First Realm of Lingtai. When cultivating the Id, we all abandoned our emotions. The period after we abandoned our emotions and before we retrieved our emotions has a professional noun."

"Called: Loss of Self!"

"I presume everyone has already experienced the dangers of the Loss of Self, right?"

Everyone nodded. Abandoning emotions, namely the Id's Loss of Self; in this process, players had no emotions, like robots without power, and could only rely on establishing a Future Lie in advance to use the Superego to drive themselves to retrieve the Id.

"The three layers of Lingtai Heart Cultivation all possess a Loss of Self process. The Ego is when abandoning Common Sense, and is even more dangerous than the Id's Loss of Self."

"The Superego is even more dangerous. After all, cultivating the Superego requires abandoning sentiments, and even establishing a Future Lie in advance is useless."

"Not only this, the Superego's Loss of Self needs a trigger. Simply put, under normal circumstances, wanting to cultivate the Superego is fundamentally impossible to achieve. You need a trigger to make you generate the Loss of Self before the player can begin cultivating the Superego. Usually, players at Nine-Star will proactively try to trigger this trigger."

"The trigger can be a person, can be a certain matter, or can be a certain conversation. Different people's triggers are different."

"But, the players who can truly complete the Superego Heart Cultivation are very, very few, and there are even many players who die during the Superego Heart Cultivation."

"Therefore, this trigger is also called the Nine-Star Tribulation, or the Nine-Star Ordeal of Self-Loss."

"If you pass it, it's ascending to the sky in a single bound. Completing the Superego Heart Cultivation means that from then on, the emotions, common sense, and sentiments in Hell can no longer deceive you. You can also be immune to Id Skills, and partial Ego and Superego Skills. In terms of status, it is a transformation from a Chess Piece to a chess player."

"At the same time, you can also reflect players in your World of the Heart, which is equivalent to having a world of your own, where you can evolve all sorts of things you want to evolve within your own Distance-Free Technique."

Speaking up to here, a trace of fanaticism unexpectedly emerged in the eyes of the Han Fei from the other space.

Thinking about it, it was true. A Superego Mental State player was almost equivalent to an existence that had jumped out of the Three Realms and was not within the Five Elements. It was extremely difficult to kill them in Hell, and they no longer needed to be on tenterhooks for survival.

However, Hell's rule was very cruel. How could the two alliances possibly let you cultivate to Superego unless you were their Reserve Teammate? In other words, even if you cultivated to Superego, around your neck...

There was still a dog chain!

Still full of despair!

"Stowaways were not bad people when alive. Then their secondary personalities are often the opposite of the main personality. The opposite of a good person, I feel, is absolutely bad in the absolute sense. After all, if they weren't bad, how could the main personality be implicated by them and come to Hell? Therefore, the secondary personality in Hell often will not generate any sentiments. Then their trigger, under normal circumstances..."

"There is one and only one!" The Han Fei from the other space pointed at Ying Siliang's corpse on the ground and shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.

Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, and Lin Xuan, the three widened their eyes and stiffly turned their heads in the direction of Han Fei's finger. At this moment, silence was better than sound.

A long time.

Only then did Lin Xuan stumble and ask: "Y-y-you couldn't be trying to s-s-say that the secondary personality's one and only trigger is his own main personality, right?"

"Right answer." The Han Fei from the other space smiled without mirth: "In other words, if the main personality dies, the secondary personality very likely won't be able to cultivate to Superego in this lifetime. Cutting off someone's future is like killing their parents, and moreover it's a step away from ascending to the sky. Do you think he'll be at odds with you guys until one of you dies?"

Lin Xuan's face was the color of ash. God knows how many Stars Ying Siliang's secondary personality was now. He looked at Han Fei speechlessly: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said it earlier, Chen Ran might not have killed this Ying Siliang?"

The Han Fei from the other space tilted his eyes 45 degrees upwards, ignoring Lin Xuan.

Chen Ran glanced at Han Fei.

But Chen Ran wasn't afraid either. This time clearing the third-floor Secret Room, he could obtain the Method of Lingtai Second Realm Cultivation. If he completed the Heart Cultivation...

A Three-Star at the Second Realm of Lingtai could challenge Six-Star players. In other words, even if the Hell Great Escape ended and he was promoted to Four-Star, he wouldn't be afraid of the Six-Star players he matched with.

Compared to Han Fei and Ying Siliang's secondary personality, Chen Ran cared more about Mo Xi, this hidden danger who was hiding. After coming out of that Secret Room, Mo Xi was like she had evaporated from the world. This definitely wasn't a good thing. Moreover, in this world, the players who stayed behind all had some issues with their Mental State to varying degrees. For Mo Xi, who possessed top-tier female-demographic thoughts, it was simply Heaven.

Since Chen Ran came to Hell, he believed every step he took was very careful and very correct, but exclusively failing to kill Mo Xi made him annoyed.
