Chapter 1019: The Reason Luther Was Killed

In the absence of the Luther personality, any human who is touched by [Vacant Seat] will be forcibly pulled into his body and become one of the personalities. Once they become a personality, if they are expelled by Lyanna, they will die without any resistance.

In this sense, Lyanna’s pride is not unfounded. Unlike the traditional path of combat, the abilities she has developed can complement each other, forming a closed loop of power. Theoretically, she has the ability and conditions to exert absolute control over any human.

Octo was right. Fate is truly unfair to humans.

At this moment, Lyanna appeared like someone who had overcome a difficult level in a game. Her small face was pale and flushed, filled with the joy of survival.

“Isn’t it incredible?” she exclaimed.

She released her grip, stood up in the green water, and sat down as if in a daze. Her eyes sparkled, exuding the innocent joy of having escaped death.

“I know it sounds unbelievable,” she continued, her wet hair sticking to her face. “But my ability is like this… blessed by higher powers. Your expression seems to suggest that you’re starting to feel something is wrong, right? This ability is particularly cruel for real people like you because your real physical bodies are dissolved into fake blood and flesh. To become a complete ent.i.ty, it is much more difficult than us, who were personalities from the beginning.”

At this moment, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t utter a word. It was as if she had forgotten how to speak. Bliss hurriedly supported her, her face even paler than Lin Sanjiu’s.

“Miss Lover,” Lyanna glanced at Bliss, her voice disapproving. “Do you know what I dislike about you the most? You always hesitate and regret after doing something. You stopped her because you didn’t want to die. What’s wrong with that? You even helped me in the process. Although you didn’t mean it, I’m not angry at you. You should be grateful.”

“You clearly said one minute!” Bliss couldn’t help but express her anger. Her cheeks, like snowflakes, were tinged with a faint blush. “When I stopped her, your [Vacant Seat] ability shouldn’t have been ready!”

“Both of you are really foolish,” Lyanna giggled, not mocking, but like the innocent laughter of a child proud of her own cleverness. “Why did you start counting time when I said one minute? In fact, I started preparing as soon as we entered the pocket dimension. I was just waiting for an opportunity to ensure my own safety before I could activate my ability.”

She glanced at Lin Sanjiu, who was still in shock and disbelief, and stood up from the water.

“Let’s go back,” Lyanna loudly instructed the other personalities. “We have a new companion today, so remember to welcome her inside.”

Only Bliss remained motionless.

She didn’t look at Lin Sanjiu or Lyanna. She simply bowed her head slightly, tightly gripping Lin Sanjiu’s arm, her fingertips turning white from the force. Her whole body trembled lightly, resembling a red cloud of smoke. However, Lyanna didn’t urge her. After a glance, Lyanna s.h.i.+fted her gaze back to Lin Sanjiu.

“How about it? Don’t you want to go in and see what the dark world we have been trapped in looks like?” Lyanna’s joy gradually faded, and her expression became blank, as if she wore a plaster mask. “We personalities cannot see each other or the outside world. We don’t know what sustains our existence or why we are alive. We can only drift in hopelessness in the darkness. The dark room described by Septimus, you will soon witness it. The only difference is… there is no feeling there. I can smell the scent of trees, the coolness of the water, and the wind here. But in there, you can’t feel anything, just like being buried alive but unable to die, or trapped in a vegetative state.”

The young girl couldn’t help but tremble slightly. “Even if I kill you, it doesn’t matter to me. But thinking about sending you in… I feel guilty.” She sighed softly, a hint of reluctance in her voice. “I won’t let you survive there for long. No one deserves to be exiled in that kind of darkness…”

Lin Sanjiu slowly raised her head.

She was in a state of unprecedented shock, and for a moment, even her anger seemed to fade away. Her mind was blank, and she could only vaguely remember about one-third of what Lyanna had said. Since her Higher Consciousness was depleted and she hadn’t had a chance to recover, Mrs. Manas naturally disappeared. Otherwise, she could have asked Mrs. Manas about her current state—what exactly was she now?

Why didn’t she become a personality?

Yes, no matter how proud Lyanna was, how confident she thought she had complete control over everything, Lin Sanjiu could clearly feel one fact: she had not become one of the personalities.

Of course, she didn’t know what it felt like to be a personality. However, after Lyanna shouted [Vacant Seat], there was a moment when Lin Sanjiu tried to enter Luther’s body. She planned to enter and then pounce on Lyanna, seizing her and delivering a fatal blow before she could expel her.

But she failed.

Was it because she had just become a personality and wasn’t yet agile enough?

Allowing Bliss to support her, Lin Sanjiu silently tried several more times. According to logic, this should be one of the instincts of being a personality, self-taught and natural. However, she never felt any difference. She was still herself, exactly the same as a few minutes ago…

However, she didn’t dare to think deeply about whether she was the same as a few years ago.

Lyanna made it clear that as long as there was a vacant seat among the personalities, any human touched by the ability would become one of the personalities. Lin Sanjiu had indeed been touched by the ability, and this young girl couldn’t have made a mistake about the “vacant seat.” The only logical explanation remained.

When did she stop being “human”?

Didn’t she already remove the piece of genetic code that Nüwa had planted in her body?

Lin Sanjiu gently withdrew Bliss’s icy-cold hand and slowly stood up from the water. Now Lyanna wasn’t afraid of her at all and allowed her to approach. Perhaps the young girl was reminded of the dark world she didn’t want to remember, as her face was numb. She kicked the water with her feet repeatedly, as if trying to remind herself that she still had the sense of touch.

“I… I became one of the personalities like this?” Lin Sanjiu asked softly.

“Yes,” Lyanna didn’t look at her and instead gazed at the small cabin at the boat rental point.

“At first, I thought about killing you, about turning you into a puppet. Well, there’s actually no difference between the two… But I didn’t expect you to eventually become one of the personalities. If you’d rather die, I can fulfill that too… After my plan is fully realized, I will set you free.”

“What is your plan?” Lin Sanjiu stopped. “I know the reason for killing Marcie. But why do you want to kill Luther? Why do you want to kill me? In the past, you couldn’t say, but can you say it now?”

“Just wait.”

Lyanna suddenly turned around, as if pulling herself out of the conversation. She climbed up the bank, approached the window of the small cabin, and took a few glances inside. A somewhat helpless voice came from the pocket dimension’s loudspeaker, probably not used to such a situation. “What… what are you doing?”

“I’ve been curious since just now. Blame her for dragging me along. I’ve never seen what operates the pocket dimension… Hmm, you’re not a human, nor an animal,” Lyanna said while reaching into the window, almost disappearing into it. It seemed like she was fumbling inside. “Come out, let me take a look at what you really are. I’m really curious.”

She had just turned a person into one of the personalities, and everything was still hanging in the balance. Anything could happen. But Lyanna’s top priority seemed to be to get a good look at the host of the pocket dimension.

The pocket dimension ent.i.ty seemed to be at its wits’ end. Urgent gasping sounds continuously came from the loudspeaker. Seeing that it didn’t come out, Lyanna suddenly pulled back and turned to shout at Lin Sanjiu, “Hey, come here and blast this house open!”

With a stern expression, Lin Sanjiu stepped closer behind her.

“Blast it open? Aren’t you afraid of the consequences?”

“I’m not afraid,” Lyanna’s fingers quickly tapped on the window frame as she glanced at Lin Sanjiu. “Even if there are consequences, that puppet outside won’t just stand there watching us die. Hurry up and let me see it!”

“Then tell me, why do you want to kill Luther?”

Lyanna sighed helplessly.

“I want to go to Pippi Shrimp’s Supersensory World, but he wanted to go to the Black-and-White Movies of the 1950s.'”e

Lin Sanjiu almost thought she had misheard.

“You have different worlds you want to go to?” She found it somewhat amusing. “Just because of that?”

“You don’t understand at all! I just want to go to that world!” Lyanna suddenly turned her head, shouting sharply, “I said, everything that you take for granted, the wind, the earth, the water, the blue sky… they are all mine—when all the personalities are in his body, I can’t truly experience them. Until I become a complete ent.i.ty, my senses are hazy and weakened on multiple levels! No matter how hard I try to experience it, the sweetness I taste is fainter than yours, the colors I see are blurrier than yours—how can you, who were born with everything, understand the feeling I had when I touched an animal’s fur for the first time?”

Her anger suddenly erupted, changing her bright-eyed, smiling appearance. Her eyes became dry and bloodshot.

“I just want to free myself from others’ control. I just want to be someone who can control myself. I just want what you were born with! Is that too much to ask? Why does everyone stop me? In my memories, my parents, friends, and school were just as real as yours, but they never existed. Then what about me? What am I? What meaning does my existence have… You asked about my plan, right? Let me tell you, it’s simple—to live as a true human without any worries, to go where I want to go, and never be forced to follow others and listen to their orders. Do you know how difficult it is to become a complete ent.i.ty? Without external help, it’s practically a lifelong task. Why do I have to be controlled by others for a lifetime? Even if I can only live as a human for one day, it’s still better than this false and meaningless existence!”

In the end, she almost choked, “I… I never wanted to become one of the personalities. Is that fair to me? Bringing me into this world but not letting me experience it—isn’t that Luther’s doing? I just want freedom…”

Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes.

“Luther never asked for the personalities to split either.”

When she softly uttered these words, she had already placed [Mosaic Censors.h.i.+p] on Lyanna’s body.
