Chapter 883: Is the Secondary Personality Going to Get Out?

Jiang Ran rode his electric bike out through the main gate of Alice Apartment.

As he passed the Security Room, he spotted Captain Xiang Shanfeng stationed inside.

He mustered his courage and walked into the Security Room.

Looking at the empty space around him, he sighed, "Sigh, the three of them... they're all gone now..."

Captain Xiang Shanfeng nodded. "Those three were good people."

"Even though I wasn't their colleague for long, I could tell."

"It's just a shame how unpredictable life can be."

Whether Captain Xiang Shanfeng truly felt deep sorrow over the deaths of Zeng Yan and the others, who could say.

Either way.

A trace of sadness appeared on his normally indifferent face.

Jiang Ran left the Security Room.

He still harbored lingering guilt over Zeng Yan's death.

If only he hadn't recommended him to become a security guard here in the first place.

Then maybe he wouldn't have encountered what happened last night.

If you looked at it that way, it was Jiang Ran who had caused his death.

But no matter what he said now, it was too late.

Zeng Yan was already dead.

Come to think of it, just before this, Zeng Yan had gotten into a huge fight with his parents because he'd injured someone at the cheese restaurant.

And now, just a few days later, his parents suddenly received news of his death. What must they be feeling?

Grief? Sorrow?

Zeng Yan was an only child too, if he remembered correctly. The old sending off the young.

Jiang Ran sighed. If Zeng Yan hadn't died, then this afternoon, he would have been treated to a meal by Zeng Yan as thanks for the job referral.

As for the other two security guards who died.

Xue Kai and Zhang Wei.

Jiang Ran hadn't interacted much with them!

But still!

He couldn't help but feel a sense of mourning for them. They had just graduated from university, so young, and their lives had been cut short.

He pressed his right hand to his forehead and muttered to himself, "This den of devils... so many people dead all at once."

"If I didn't have the System and my alternate personalities, I'd probably be dead by now too."

Jiang Ran rode his electric bike to the nearest hospital from Alice Apartment.

He got his injured areas disinfected and bandaged.

The whole process took several hours.

It wasn't until past three in the afternoon that he finally came out of the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ran asked the System, "System, how many points do I have now? Have I saved up 50 million yet?"

As long as he saved up 50 million points, he could release all his alternate personalities.

He would immediately be cured of his dissociative identity disorder.

Then, he could stay far away from this den of devils called Alice Apartment.

And return to living a normal person's life.

The Danger Warning System's cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

[Ding! Report to host, points: 39.23 million!!!]

39.23 million.

He was only a little over 10 million points short of the 50 million mark.

It shouldn't take too much longer, and he'd be able to gather the rest.

He rode his bike, but instead of heading back to Alice Apartment, he went to a dam on the outskirts of Nancheng City.

The scenery here was nice, and the wind blowing on him felt pleasant and cool.

Most importantly, this place was far from the city and from people.

Mostly natural scenery.

Of course, no matter where you go, you can never escape the fishing enthusiasts at a dam like this.

Jiang Ran stood by a stretch of water at the dam and could already see several fishing enthusiasts.

The fishing community was also the least competitive circle out there.

If you have a hobby, you might join various hobby groups.

Take road cycling groups, for example.

You'd quickly notice a severe hierarchy of snobbery in those groups.

If you ride a cheap bike, forget about riding with those guys.

They wouldn't even bother with you.

But in fishing groups, if you ask what equipment is good to buy, what gear you should get.

They'd tell you that all equipment is meaningless. Only gear that actually catches fish is good gear.

Standing at the water's edge.

Jiang Ran gazed at the distant Big River and the lush green scenery for several minutes.

Then he took a plastic pill case out of his pocket.

He shook out a single white pill from the case, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it with his saliva.

This was still that American medication for treating dissociative identity disorder.

He had to admit, the effects were pretty good. Jiang Ran hadn't noticed much in the way of side effects.

Maybe it was because he hadn't been taking this medication for very long.

So they hadn't manifested yet.

"System, I want to know something. How many alternate personalities do I currently have inside me?"

The System took a few seconds to respond.

[Ding! After System detection, the host currently has a total of 112 alternate personalities.]

"What?! 112?! Are you kidding me?!"

Jiang Ran had just asked casually, never expecting this result!!!

He was so shocked he nearly spat out the pill he'd just swallowed.

This was insane. Was he breaking the Guinness World Record or something?!

This was way too exaggerated!!!

In fact.

Counting all the alternate personalities that had ever been born within Jiang Ran.

There had been over a thousand in total.

And these 112 alternate personalities were what remained after a series of vicious battles where the alternate personalities had killed each other off.

If not for the incredibly severe infighting among these alternate personalities, there wouldn't be only this few left.

But Jiang Ran certainly didn't know that right now.

"System, are you messing with me?!"

From start to finish, he had never imagined he would have this many alternate personalities inside him. He'd always thought that, at the absolute most, he might have a few.

And now, out of nowhere, you're telling him there are 112? Who could possibly accept that?

Jiang Ran felt like the sky was falling.

[Ding! Report to host! The System never lies! You do indeed have 112 alternate personalities inside you!]

Alright, alright.

Jiang Ran, collapsed on the soft dirt ground, finally accepted the fact.

He lowered his head for five minutes, then raised it and asked the System again:

"System, so with these 50 million points, on average, that would be..."

Jiang Ran wasn't great at math, so he pulled out his phone and calculated:

"That would mean, to give each alternate personality a body and send them out, each one costs 446,000 points?"

[Report to host! Approximately! But there are differences. Some alternate personalities require 1 million points to send out, while others only need 10,000 points!]

[Currently, sending out all 112 of the host's alternate personalities together would require 50 million points!]

Jiang Ran: "Why is that?"

[Ding! Report to host! The reason is simple. The more vicious, malicious, and powerful an alternate personality is, the more points are required to send it away!]

Jiang Ran: "I see..."

"So that means, I don't actually need to wait until I've saved up all 50 million points. I can spend points right now to send out some of the alternate personalities, right?!"

[Ding! Correct!]

The conversation between Jiang Ran and the System.

Was clearly heard by all the alternate personalities in the inner landscape world.

At first, they thought it was just an ordinary conversation, but none of them ever imagined it would lead to the topic of being able to leave early?

Suddenly, all the alternate personalities who hadn't been paying much attention became completely focused.

They had been craving freedom for far too long.
