"The ghost I told Student Zhang earlier, I was joking, you don't have to take it seriously. However, there is indeed a kind of ghost in this world, which is transformed from a living person. Let's call it a living ghost."
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Zhou Yu said this.
"...Some people are born with serious problems, but they don't know it. They are...half-human, half-ghost. Although they firmly believe that they are humans, in fact, they have ghost nature deep in their hearts. They are that kind of A very bad ghost. If you suppress it for a long time, the human and ghost parts will eventually split."
Zhang Mumu listened carefully and interjected with some curiosity: "Then the ghost split from the body?"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "No, ghosts and people are one, and can never exist apart from the body. As long as a person is asleep, ghosts can occupy the body and act like humans, just like what you call a ghost. Because humans Ghosts will also disappear after death, so ghosts will protect people as much as possible, but after all, ghosts and people have been separated, so... ghosts don't know what people usually do or what they think. He can only follow his own thoughts. Action—at least that’s what the ghost thinks he is.”
Zhang Mumu tilted his head in confusion and said "huh?"
"...Although ghosts believe that they are independent individuals, in fact, that is wrong. He is just a person's imagination and the embodiment of human desires. Has Mr. Zhang ever played a game? It is like the relationship between the player and the character Same. Things that players want to do but dare not do in reality, they will control the characters to do it in the game. Actions such as killing NPCs, destroying buildings, running around. The so-called ghosts act as such. 'Role'."
He murmured as if talking to himself.
"So... what was it like before the split between humans and ghosts? I'm afraid people have had bad thoughts many times, but due to excessive suppression, the ghosts in their hearts finally split. But is the split really complete? Like this What will happen if you go down? No, not even schizophrenia. You must still be thinking about these in your subconscious... Ah, who do you want to kill? "
His words became garbled, as if he had forgotten the foreigner across the table. Unwilling to be ignored, Zhang Mumu stood up immediately, grabbed Zhou Yu's shoulders, and shook him vigorously. This woman had strange strength that was completely out of proportion to her size. Zhou Yu was shaken by her so violently that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
"Classmate Zhou! Classmate Zhou! Don't be so dazed! Wake up quickly!" she shouted loudly, "You are possessed by a ghost!"
Zhou Yu finally broke free from her clutches and immediately reached out to cover her mouth: "Be gentle, I live in a shared apartment and the soundproofing here is not good."
Fortunately, the office worker who lived with me seemed to be sleeping deeply and was not startled to check the situation. Zhang Mumu covered his mouth and sat back down, then whispered: "Don't be too impersonal when telling ghost stories, otherwise you will attract dirty things."
"It would be nice if you had this awareness when watching horror movies."
Zhou Yu took another sip of coffee and said in a calm tone: "It's too late. You can rest here tonight. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future. Nights in the city are not peaceful."
"Because classmate Zhou behaved very strangely during the day, and I'm very worried about you."
"...You are also familiar with it."
Zhou Yu finally showed a smile and said, "Let's finish telling the story just now. Classmate Zhang, do you think the responsibility for this kind of 'human-turned-ghost' lies with humans or ghosts?"
"responsibility?"
"That is to say, if the behavior of ghosts is all driven by human subconsciousness, just like the player controlling the character... If serious consequences are caused, how does Mr. Zhang think it should be dealt with? Of course, such serious consequences, all It all happened in reality.”
Zhang Mumu looked at him confusedly, without any sign of thinking. Zhou Yu was silent for a while and then said: "There are only two endings for living ghosts. Either they find a way to completely eradicate the ghost nature, or they also destroy the human part. The ghost part has been serving the human part since its birth, so he will not I hope that the human part will die... If the ghost part can be sealed forever, maybe the living ghosts will become ordinary people."
"Banned?"
"...As you said, ghosts are bound to the human world because they were resentful when they died, right? Living ghosts don't split suddenly. They usually have a certain purpose...to escape something, to compensate for something, etc. Such bad motives will prompt ghosts to act."
"Oh, I understand, it's resentment! Eliminating resentment will free the ghost!"
"Well, that's it. This is how a living ghost becomes a human. Now that the story is over, please go to sleep."
Zhang Mumu seemed to have more to say. Before she could make a suggestion like "watch a horror movie together", Zhou Yu pushed her into his room and locked the door with the key - Zhang Mumu had a habit of hugging an octopus while sleeping, and he didn't want to experience it a second time.
After solving the trouble, he took out the spare blanket from the closet and spread it on the sofa. But this is just a show. Before sending Zhang Mumu away, Zhou Yu must not be allowed to intervene again.
After setting up the sofa, he went into the bathroom to remove his makeup. Zhou Yu's lips and eyebrows are too light in color, so she often wears light makeup to make up for it.
While applying foundation in front of the mirror, he looked at the person in the mirror as usual.
Dual personality is an extreme manifestation of stress based on environmental pressure. Patients deal with stress by dissociating their personalities, transferring the pain they are unwilling to bear to their secondary personalities, or creating personalities that are more in line with the needs of the environment. So, the sub-personality born with the desire to kill cannot be without origin.
In this case, there is a question. What was Zhou Yu's state before the split personality occurred?
On the page of the diary that was torn out, the word "kill" was written all over with wild strokes. It is impossible to ignore it now.
- If one is afraid of being killed, it would be unreasonable to write this verb repeatedly. The person who would repeat the crime over and over again was obviously someone who actively wanted to kill someone.
Are you ready to implement it? Or has it been implemented? All this had nothing to do with Zhou Yu. The reason why he is so concerned cannot be explained to outsiders.
When heaven and earth create humans, they require mortals to respect heaven; when God creates humans, he requires everyone to love God. Myths are reflections of human self-awareness—creatures must love their creators unconditionally.
As a sub-personality, Zhou Yu took a long time to figure this out. Regardless of his appreciation of physical beauty, he was unreasonably and unreservedly concerned about Zhou Yu's fate.
That's not just a concern for one body and one fate.
But it is the feeling that is hidden deep in the heart as the "other".
