Chapter 173 The Little Girl Who Never Missed
Chapter 173 The Little Girl Who Never Missed (Chapter 53 was posted in the wrong version, but there has been an update)
"Find me a simultaneous interpreter!"
Lin Xu gave the order, and soon, the simultaneous interpretation voice came through the headset.
"Commander, I'm here."
Chief?
This was the first time Lin Xu had ever heard someone call him "commander".
To be honest, I'm still not used to it.
But he can't think too much about it right now.
It was obvious that Ayana on the other side had been controlled by the so-called "original personality" again, just as Xu Quanyou had predicted, and what he had to do was to help this personality stabilize as much as possible.
Do you want some cake?
Lin Xu looked at the sand that Ayana scooped up in her hands, his eyes flickering slightly.
It has to be said that this scene, and even just Ayana herself, still exudes a certain eeriness at this moment.
Her face was mature, her body was mature, but her eyes revealed a childlike innocence.
Looking at her, Lin Xu was reminded of patients he had seen online who had suffered brain damage and whose intelligence had regressed to the level of children.
Although they were pitiful, Lin Xu felt the same way about them.
It made me feel vaguely uncomfortable.
After hearing his words, Ayana tilted her head and nodded.
"Sand cake, would you like some?"
Her face held a hint of ill intent.
It was obvious that she knew it was sand; she was just being mischievous.
"How about I take you to eat real cake?"
Lin Xu spoke again, and Ayana immediately jumped for joy.
"Cake! Let's eat cake!"
She suddenly stood up and threw the sand in her hand into the air.
Her behavior was as unpredictable as a real child's. Qin Feng, who was not far away, was ready to rush over, but Lin Xu raised his hand, signaling him not to make any rash moves.
This is the most crucial stage.
Before her personality stabilizes, there must be absolutely no unexpected events that could interrupt her actions.
"Let's go."
Lin Xu walked beside Ayana, who looked around curiously before saying:
"where is this place?"
"We're not in Mauritius, are we?"
Yes. We are in a very far place.
Lin Xu nodded first, then asked:
Do you remember Mauritius?
"I remember a lot of things."
Ayana nodded emphatically.
"Sometimes I would sneak out and hide behind to peek."
“But I can’t speak, I can’t let them find out.”
"Otherwise, they'll kill me!"
These words made Lin Xu's hair stand on end.
peep?
We can't let them find out.
Will I be killed?
Clearly, the "people" that Ayana mentioned are the other personalities residing within her.
This is truly a terrifying thing.
A conscious personality is murdered by another personality.
To outsiders, it might even seem like just a "small step in growth".
Lin Xu remembers that when he was a child, he would imagine a "non-existent friend" in his mind, and then one day, that friend would suddenly disappear.
So, was he also unintentionally murdered by himself at some point?
Lin Xu shivered.
But soon, he realized the enormous amount of information revealed in Ayana's words.
The personality of young Ayana can peek into what other personalities see.
This is a one-way information transparency.
Does that mean that even without "detonating" other personalities, one can obtain the information needed from young Ayana?
Lin Xu wanted to ask a question, but at that moment, the psychoanalyst's guidance came through the earpiece.
"Do not deny the existence of other personalities!"
Tell her the door is closed and no one else can get out!
Lin Xu nodded slightly to indicate that he had received the message, and then said:
"Don't worry, we've already locked up those who want to hurt you."
"It's like they locked you up."
"no."
Ayana innocently looked up at Lin Xu.
“I wasn’t locked up by them; I hid myself.”
“I closed the door, so they can’t get in.”
Self-defense mechanism.
For the first time, Lin Xu clearly felt this somewhat "vague" concept in psychology from a person, and at that moment, he was extremely grateful that this concept really existed.
This leaves a huge opportunity for our side.
It could even fundamentally shake Zhou Yue's entire Lanshi Project.
By this time, the staff had already prepared the cake.
In fact, they had everything prepared as soon as the plan was put into action.
Now, it's just being served.
The two sat down at a small table on the beach, Ayana's eyes wide with surprise.
She tentatively reached out to touch the cream on the cake, but quickly withdrew her hand.
With cream on her fingertips, she put them in her mouth, sucked on them, and then tentatively looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Can I eat it?"
"Okay, these are all prepared for you."
Lin Xu reached for a knife and started cutting the cake. Ayana instinctively shrank back, as if she were some kind of startled animal.
Lin Xu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly explained:
"It's just a cake knife, don't be afraid."
Ayana then sat back down, and after Lin Xu handed her the cake, she immediately began to wolf it down.
Lin Xu didn't interrupt her, but simply listened quietly to the psychoanalyst's instructions in the earphones.
"This personality is very likely related to childhood trauma."
"This is her true dominant personality, also known as her original personality."
"This personality was born with her, but it is very likely that it was deliberately hidden by self-defense mechanisms at a certain age."
"Light a candle for her and ask her how old she is!"
Following the psychoanalyst's instructions, Lin Xu picked up the candle and then asked:
Would you like some candles? How old are you?
Ayana was stunned for a moment.
"8 is old."
Lin Xu inserted eight candles and then lit them with a lighter.
Ayana watched his movements quietly, then suddenly started singing Happy Birthday again.
Then, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.
Lin Xu remained silent and waited until she finished making her wish before asking:
"What did you wish for?" Ayana blinked.
"I hope the end of the world doesn't come."
Doomsday.
Lin Xu was startled.
"Do you know about the end of the world?"
"I knew."
Ayana looked at Lin Xu.
"do not you know?"
"I know that, but I thought you didn't."
Lin Xu pronounced this sentence somewhat awkwardly.
However, the simultaneous interpreter did a very good job, and the sound transmitted through the loudspeaker was not difficult for Ayana to understand.
She swallowed the cake in her mouth and said in a serious tone:
"They also know about the end of the world—they've been trying to find ways to prevent it from happening."
"But it doesn't seem to be working, does it?"
“I overheard that person say that he had seen many, many, many worlds.”
"Those worlds were all destroyed."
He also said he wanted to see the end of the world with his own eyes, but he didn't have the chance.
It's clear that the "person" Ayana was referring to was Zhou Yue.
She had once "eavesdropped" on Zhou Yue's conversations with other personalities!
Zhou Yue could never have imagined that his work of keeping secrets would be ruined by an unseen personality.
Perhaps it's because he never truly understood Ayana?
To him, Ayana was nothing more than a tool.
Since it's a tool, you naturally wouldn't care where it came from.
There's only one question you need to consider:
Is it easy to use?
Lin Xu gently put down the lighter in his hand, and then he asked:
Have you heard anything else?
"For example, how do they plan to prevent the apocalypse from happening?"
"very many!"
Ayana chuckled.
"But let me finish my cake first!"
"I can't just run away anytime, anywhere! If they catch me, they definitely won't let me go!"
"So what should I do if I want to contact you in the future?"
Lin Xu quickly asked:
"Can we agree on a code? If you feel safe, come out and find me when you hear the code I give you."
"Shall I take you out for cake again—or do anything else you want to do?"
"no problem!"
Ayana reached for the cake knife, cut off a piece, and mumbled as she put it in her mouth:
"You can just call me by my name."
“My name is Aishwarya, and that’s the name my mother gave me.”
"Okay, then I'll call you Aishwarya from now on."
Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the intelligence team members immediately reacted to the name in his earpiece.
“Aishwarya was Ayana’s former name. After her mother died, her father changed her name to Ayana when she was 6 years old.”
As soon as the intelligence officer finished speaking, the psychoanalyst went online.
"This name is obviously important to her—perhaps related to her mother's death."
“I suspect that she suffered severe psychological trauma when her mother died, which led to her subsequent personality split.”
"Try asking her if she remembers anything about her mother!"
"If we can obtain information about the trigger that caused her personality split, we will have the opportunity to destroy all the other personalities at once!"
Lin Xu nodded slightly to indicate that he had received the message, then asked Ayana—or Aishwarya:
Do you remember your mother?
Ayana nodded.
“She was killed by my father.”
“Her head was smashed, I saw it.”
"Later, they killed my father."
“I saw them kill my father, so I hid.”
they?
See?
Hiding?
In an instant, Lin Xu felt a chill run down his spine.
A complete story has been pieced together.
The root of Ayana's split personality.
It's already crystal clear.
Aishwarya is the only kind-hearted personality.
This personality ended when she was 8 years old.
Lin Xu dared not ask any more questions, and the psychoanalyst in his earpiece also prompted him to skip the topic.
He composed himself slightly and changed the subject, asking:
"Let's talk about the end of the world."
"You said that person wanted to stop the end of the world, do you know how he did it?"
Ayana paused for a moment.
Then, she said, somewhat confused:
"They seem to be trying to find the center of the sea."
"In the center of the sea, there is a rock."
"Find that stone, and you'll find a way to stop the end of the world."
"Stone?"
Lin Xu frowned.
"What stone?"
Ayana thought for a moment, then said:
“Lia Fáil—what does that mean?”
Lia Fáil.
The sound of simultaneous interpretation came through the headphones.
When Ayana's voice overlapped with the simultaneous interpreter's voice, Lin Xu suddenly realized that he had overlooked a crucial clue.
Orchid stone.
No.
Now he knows that this plan should not be transliterated as the Lanshi Plan.
It should be translated directly as...
The Stone of Destiny.
