I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 442 Spiritual Collapse (4400)

"What kind of shitty plot is this? Why would Xiaogu take such a bad role? These actors' acting is worse than the cosplayers hired by the master!"

"Ling'er is still a good actress. Send Ling'er a WeChat message."

Youzi was holding the pad and cursing, and with a move of the magician's hand, he sent an emoticon pack of "You are the best" to Liu Feifei on WeChat.

"So disgusting, so disgusting." There was a hint of gray-green light on Youzi's body. It was obvious that she was very disgusted by the TV series called Lao Jiumen played by Zhao Baozi.

Why don’t I have a mouth? If I had a mouth, I could at least vomit. Now I can only digest things by myself.

Yuzi sighed and was about to close the pad when she saw a notification pop up on WeChat.

Ling'er replied to me!

Huh? When will the second experiment be held?

Yuzu thought about it, and a line of text gradually appeared in the dialog box: "Not yet. The master has been busy recently. I think the last experiment has made great progress. There may be no need to experiment again."

Liu Feifei didn't expect that No. 12 would reply so quickly. Seeing Yuzi's reply, Liu Feifei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Fei Fei, what do you want to talk to the master about?"

When Liu Feifei saw the reply on WeChat, she couldn't help but smile.

This No. 12 is really quite human-like and even asks questions proactively.

"Oh, nothing. I just want to consult Mr. Xiao Fang about some things during the next experiment." Liu Feifei pursed her lips. "Can you help me make an appointment?"

Yuzu said enthusiastically: "What favor? Can you tell me? Maybe I can provide you with some help."

Liu Feifei was about to say no, but suddenly remembered that the other party was an AI. She bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and started tapping on the screen with her fingers.

Anyway, it's just a robot. There are many things that we can't say to others, so it should be okay to say them to it, right?
"It's nothing serious, I just feel a little confused recently. I have two friends whose living conditions were not very good when they were young. Oh, not in terms of material conditions, but in terms of circumstances. In the past, B often protected A and took on a lot for A, but recently, B doesn't want to continue like this and wants to leave. He is also worried that A is too naive and won't be able to live in this world in the future. What do you think B should do?"

Yuzi was shocked. This was the first time Liu Feifei talked to it about something slightly personal.

Although she was asking on behalf of her friend, it is still her private matter.

Then I have to analyze it carefully for Ling'er.

"I envy A for having such a friend. Based on the information you gave me, I think B is a very good friend. B's worry is reasonable. If she suddenly stops helping A, A, who has long been accustomed to her help, may indeed have a difficult time in the short term."

Liu Feifei pursed her lips, showing a hesitant expression, but she felt relieved.

Liu Feifei tapped her fingers on the screen and was about to say something when she saw two more lines of words pop up on the screen.

Is No. 12 typing so fast?
"However, this does not mean that B is right to do so. In fact, in most cases, B's help may not be a good thing for A."

Seeing these words, Liu Feifei's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The dialog box on the screen continued to pop up information.

"You said before that B has been protecting A since childhood. I don't know how young you are, but according to Erikson's eight-stage theory of personality development, humans need to complete the construction of "self-identity" between the ages of 12 and 18. If A continues to replace B in dealing with external conflicts, B's psychological delay in repayment will be extended indefinitely."

"In other words, although B has been helping A, it is precisely because of her help that A's psychology and personality have never been complete."

Seeing this sentence, Liu Feifei's face changed suddenly, but messages continued to pop up on WeChat.

"First, from the perspective of dependency theory..."

"Secondly, from the perspective of developmental psychology..."

"In summary, various theories have proven that excessive help from B may cause A to remain at a certain stage and not grow."

Seeing No. 12's analysis and summary of more than a thousand words, Liu Feifei's eyes gradually dimmed.

"In fact, from B's perspective, we shouldn't continue to help A."

Yuzu started talking excitedly, "From the perspective of existential psychology, one of the most fundamental needs of human beings is 'self-realization', that is, finding one's own meaning."

"B may be reluctant to leave because her self-meaning is completely tied to A. If A no longer needs her, how will she define herself?"

"This is a psychological crisis that many people who play a long-term caregiving role experience - they experience a strong 'existential void' when the person they are caring for no longer depends on them."

A trace of doubt flashed across Liu Feifei's dim eyes, and she typed a few words on the screen: "What do you mean?"

Yuzu replied quickly: "To put it simply, the more you help A, the more B will tie the meaning of his own existence to A, which is also not a good thing for B."

"If B exists only because A needs her, and not because she wants to live out her own meaning, then she should ask herself: If A no longer needs her, what is the meaning of her existence?"

Upon hearing these words, Liu Feifei's face suddenly turned pale and her breathing became rapid.

Yes, what is the meaning of my existence?

Liu Feifei was silent for a long time, then typed a line of words on the screen:

"Thank you, No. 12, I understand."

After sending this sentence, Liu Feifei hesitated for a moment and sent another sentence.

"You're a good friend."

Seeing Liu Feifei’s reply, Youzi was delighted.

Ling'er said I was her good friend, hehehe.

Liu Feifei felt dizzy and threw her phone on the sofa. The phone rolled over and leaned against the back of the sofa.

Liu Feifei also swayed twice, then fell onto the sofa, leaning against the back of the sofa, breathing rapidly, a layer of cold sweat oozing from her back.

It turns out that my existence is really meaningless. Only when 'I' disappears can 'I' be complete.

In a trance, Liu Feifei seemed to see herself in front of a light gate emitting white light, and herself, who was wearing a white dress, no, it should be Ning Yu, was desperately shouting something at her.

But she couldn't hear anything.

She also didn't notice that after that sentence, No. 12 sent another message.

"For B, leaving A and coming into contact with a better world is also a kind of redemption for himself."

After sending this message, Youzi saw that Liu Feifei didn’t reply for a long time, so he sent another WeChat message.

"Feifei? Feifei? Are you still there?"

After waiting for a few more minutes, there was still no reply from Liu Feifei.

?

Could it be that I said something wrong just now and made Ling'er unhappy?
No, it's impossible. How could the great Professor Jorz be wrong?

What I said is all the most authoritative psychological analysis on Blue Planet.

Then why did she ignore me?

Yuzu scratched his head with the mage's hand.

How about taking a look at what she's doing?
Although it has no heart, it still feels its heart beating when this thought comes to it.

Just take a look. Youzi secretly hacked into Liu Feifei's phone and turned on Liu Feifei's front camera.

What perspective is this?
After a quick look, Youzi saw Liu Feifei leaning on the sofa with a pale face and breathing rapidly.

What happened to Ling'er?
Why does it seem like my breath is getting weaker and weaker?
It's bad! Is it a heart attack? We are so far away that we can't perform identification.

The body of the pomelo suddenly glowed red. With such brightness, if you put it at a traffic light, all the cars two kilometers away would have to brake.

How to do?How to do?
Rescue her quickly.

Ling'er seemed to have said just now that she was in Puhai? Puhai is so far away, it would be too late even if I flew there, unless I teleported.

But I can't teleport either.

Oh, master, contact the master and ask him to rescue Ling'er as soon as possible.

Even if the master punishes her and gives her electric shocks, she must let the master save Ling'er!
Yuzu instantly put herself into Li Xiaoyao's shoes and communicated with the Core of Etheron with a heart full of tragedy.

(Flashback ends)
-

Haipu, Dingxi Road.

A tall figure slowly emerged in an apartment with only two night lights on.

"Spiritual collapse?"

After performing an identification technique on Liu Feifei, who was covered in cold sweat, pale and breathing weakly, Fang Yu couldn't help but frown.

In Fang Yu's eyes, the two colors of spirituality in Liu Feifei seemed to have completely stopped functioning normally, and the original operating structure seemed to be slowly collapsing.

The orange-red "enchanting" spirituality on the periphery seemed to have lost all its power and was no longer functioning. Its spiritual structure was also slowly collapsing.

The blue "pure state" spirit inside seemed to be trying hard to prevent itself and the "enchanted state" from disappearing, but her presence was also becoming weaker and weaker, and the structure was also slowly collapsing.

Once the spiritual operating structure collapses completely, the spirituality will dissipate and will no longer be concentrated in Liu Feifei's body. It will become ownerless scattered spirituality and return to the star realm after seven days.

By then, even if Liu Feifei didn't die, the best outcome would be that she would become a vegetative state close to brain death.

"What's going on?" Fang Yu asked Yuzi through the Core of Eseran.

At Yuzi's urging, he did not go back to Haixi to bring Yuzi with him, but teleported directly from Xinhao to Haipu, and then through the etheric world, entered Liu Feifei's apartment on Dingxi Road according to the address provided by Yuzi.

"I really don't know." Yuzi looked confused, "We were just chatting normally on WeChat, and she suddenly became like this."

"Master, is Ling'er okay?"

"There are some problems with the spiritual operation structure. We need to use the soul-fixing technique to help her reset the structure." Fang Yu looked Liu Feifei up and down. "Let's not talk about this for now. How do you have her WeChat?"

"Ah?" Youzi shuddered and pretended to be dumb.

"Okay, stop pretending and show me your chat history." Fang Yu was too lazy to ask about such details.

"Master, would you like to save Ling'er first and look at the chat records later? I'm worried..." At Fang Yu's request, Youzi reluctantly sent the chat records to Fang Yu's mobile phone.

Fang Yu rolled his eyes and realized that this guy was pretending to be No. 12 and chatting with Liu Feifei.

After flipping it twice, I reached the end.

Fang Yu couldn't help but stare at him.

Depend on!
You are still so anxious about the ball. The problem Liu Feifei is in now is caused by you!
"How could it be my fault!? Master, please don't slander me! I love Ling'er the most, how could I hurt her?" Yuzi became anxious when she heard that.

"You're still yelling at me?" Fang Yu glared, "Are you stupid? You clearly know that Liu Feifei has a split personality, but you haven't figured out that the two AB friends she mentioned are actually her?"

"Even the Orange model can recognize that 'I have a friend' is the user himself, but you can't tell the difference? You are really going backwards. Watching bad movies really lowers your IQ."

"Ah?" Yuzu was stunned.

Fang Yu snorted, "Bullshit! Even from a psychological point of view, dual personality is an unstable state. And you told her that the existence of personality B is meaningless. How can it not cause trouble?"

After hearing this, Yuzu felt so regretful that her eyes were turning blue.

Why am I so stupid?
"Master, you must save her, Master~ Ling'er can't be in danger, otherwise I will die of guilt." Youzi cried and was extremely sad.

I guess it wouldn't be so sad even if its creator, Sekalis, died.

Fang Yu rolled his eyes, but also felt a little strange.

He had studied cases of dual personality in the Great Arcane Era some time ago, and had also studied many similar cases on the Blue Planet. If this was the case, it was generally a good thing. One way to treat DID was to eliminate other personalities through psychological means, retaining only one main personality, so that the patient could be cured.

But why are both of Liu Feifei's spirits collapsing?
Is it...

Let's stabilize her condition first.

Fang Yu frowned, carried Liu Feifei to the bed in the bedroom, laid her down flat, then he stretched out his hand, and Orion Ye Shuo appeared in the palm of his right hand.

Fang Yu raised his left hand with the palm facing upwards and shouted in a low voice: "Viteras Lumes Orvannum!"

A string of obscure syllables came out of Fang Yu's mouth, and the star core suspended on the top of Orion's Night Shine Staff emitted a faint yellowish light.

Fang Yu waved the Orion Night Light, drawing streaks of light yellow in the air, and these rays surrounded Liu Feifei, forming an extremely complex three-dimensional geometric pattern.

“Stabilitas Anima Perfecta!”

After saying a spell that was completely different from the one just now, the star core on the head of Orion's Night Shine Staff gently touched Liu Feifei's forehead, and the three-dimensional geometric pattern composed of light yellow light shrank smaller and smaller, and finally tightly wrapped around Liu Feifei's body, and then disappeared into Liu Feifei's body.

And in Fang Yu's sight, this geometric figure composed of pale yellow light also disappeared into the spirituality of Liu Feifei and Ning Yu. After supporting their spirituality that was about to collapse, it began to slowly repair their spiritual structure.

Soul Concentration, a 4th-level spell from the enchantment school.

Its function is to re-bind the spirit of the recipient within his body, and it is also one of the prerequisite spells for the 5th-level ritual spell - resurrection.

A yellow light flashed on Liu Feifei's body, and her originally weak but rapid breathing gradually stabilized.

"Um..." Liu Feifei frowned slightly, groaned in pain, slowly opened her eyes, saw Fang Yu in front of her, shook her head, and it took her ten full seconds to react.

"Mr. Fang...Mr. Xiao Fang? Why are you here?"

Fang Yu took back Orion Ye Shuo: "You are Liu Feifei now, right? Did you just... uh, have a personality breakdown?"

Liu Feifei's eyes were still a little dazed. When she heard Fang Yu say this, she was about to recall what happened before, but suddenly she felt a headache. She sat on the bed and hugged her head in pain.

"I-I don't know…what personality breakdown?"

Fang Yu pulled a chair and sat down: "Do you know that if your personality disappears, Ning Yu's personality will disappear as well?"

Liu Feifei raised her head, forgetting to continue asking why Fang Yu was here. She held her temple with her left hand and said in a trembling voice, "No, no, I have checked before. Only when my secondary personality disappears, Ning Yu's personality can be complete."

Fang Yu nodded: "If the secondary personality of a DID patient is integrated into the main personality, it can indeed cure his symptoms."

Liu Feifei's eyes turned red, and just as she was about to say something, she heard Fang Yu's voice again.

"But this is when she is the dominant personality."

"But what if you are the dominant personality?"
