Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

After leaving the area where these experimental subjects were being held, I took a deep breath of fresh air. It was already afternoon. My supervisor, Qin Yuyan, wasn't in the lab this afternoon, presumably out on a field trip. My project wasn't the only one in our lab, and this was just my proposal. Supervisor Qin also had other students. September was the beginning of the transition from autumn to winter. I couldn't help but wrap my coat tightly around myself, sneezing as I headed towards the bus stop...

About ten minutes later, I got on the bus and began to clear my mind. Subjectively, I think Mr. Qin Shang's situation does fit what my mentor Qin Yuyan advocated, that is, he was dominated by the secondary personality for a long time, and the main personality, knowing that he had a split personality, committed a crime and blamed everything on the secondary personality, trying to evade legal responsibility.

In Director Qin's inference about Mr. Qin, he believes that the 'Thunder King', who was irritable, moody, flammable and explosive when he was first sent here by the police station, is the main personality, while the 'licking cockroach's feet', who has clear logic, complete expression ability, even rationality, and sound values, is the secondary personality.

But, today when I was riding the bus, I suddenly had an idea.

I am more inclined to believe that the personality of 'licking cockroach's feet' is the main personality.

The personality of 'Thunder King' is a secondary personality.

Yes, the personality called 'licking cockroach feet' who talked and laughed with us, and even frequently argued with us, is the main personality. Combined with what happened just now, it is really unbelievable.

I remember that this was the umpteenth time that after I informed him of something that made me sad and depressed, he would talk to himself for a few sentences, then suddenly go crazy and transform into the personality of the 'Thunder King'.

I can’t count how many times this has happened...

Every time I was about to tell Mr. Qin Shang something serious, or had already informed him of something serious, like he was about to be held legally responsible or needed treatment, his secondary personality, the 'Thunder King', would awaken. That personality, with its singular behavior and lack of rational control, seemed to be deliberately trying to prove to me, you see, I'm mentally ill, I'm really not in good shape, and I really can't bear any legal responsibility...

"What if the person who 'licked the cockroach's feet' knew he had a second personality?"

The moment this idea emerged in my mind, I was shocked by my own bold and weird idea. But if the assumption is true, Mr. Qin's main personality 'licking cockroach feet' with clear logic and careful thinking has actually been aware of the existence of his secondary personality 'Thunder King', then trying to use the Thunder King to evade legal responsibility seems very reasonable, right?

This also fits with Director Qin's speculation. The only point of disagreement between us is actually about the identity of Qin Shang's main personality and his secondary personality. There is a dispute over whether the "licking cockroach's feet" personality is the main personality or the "Thunder King" personality is the main personality...

"Now that I think of it, that comic book seems to be the symbol..."

I remember it was the same last time.

After I told him that the teacher had borrowed professional motor therapy equipment, his hand shook and the comic book he was reading fell to the ground...

I couldn't help but look peculiar at the thought;

"Is there something special about comic books? Is it that the main personality 'licking the cockroach's feet' is used as a psychological cue or to record the life and work habits of the secondary personality, using this as a means of observing one's own secondary personality? For example, this comic book is a form of psychological cue, a way to passively switch between personalities?"

In fact, similar cases have actually occurred in the world.

There have been cases in history where people, realizing they had a split personality, began to use their secondary personality to their advantage...

"Suppose, if the main personality 'licking cockroach's feet' knows that the secondary personality has the habit of reading comic books, and through long-term practice, it adapts itself to the stimulation of a certain plot in the comic book, such as excessive emotions, shock, anger, fear and other emotions, then it can switch into the secondary personality 'Lightning King', emm, although it seems a bit metaphysical, but in fact, many split personalities are formed in this way."

"Because of my own cowardice in reality, I was oppressed by others but did not dare to resist, so I began to breed negative emotions and resentment in my heart. This is just like many people in reality always feel that they did not perform well when quarreling. When they review it later, it is like a movie in their minds, playing the other party's behavior frame by frame, and then I paused to study and think about the wording of objection. But in fact, the quarrel has passed, and the negative emotions in my heart have already arisen. Instead of thinking about why I did not perform well at the time, what I should solve is how to deal with negative emotions. Of course, most ordinary people are not psychologists. They have no obligation or ability to digest the negative emotions brought by others on their own. But if you live in an extremely depressing real environment, if this situation is not an isolated case but occurs frequently, it is very likely to give birth to a person who, while regretting every time he performs poorly, will give birth to a personality that can perform perfectly at all times."

"So when did he realize that he had schizophrenia? Maybe it was when he woke up one day and suddenly found that he had bought a comic book that he had never paid attention to before. Maybe the main personality had no interests or hobbies in this area, but the secondary personality did. So one day he accidentally discovered something in his home that was not on his hobby list, and he verified it to a certain extent, such as installing surveillance cameras at home, and finally diagnosed himself with schizophrenia. This explains it."

"Online novels, comics, television, movies, short dramas, these are the most common entertainment industries in the cultural industry. When it comes to retaining readers and audiences, the word that is often on people's lips is expectation. Only with expectation can readers or audiences be induced to continue reading. Whether it is the continued reading of novels or the continued pursuit of film and television dramas, the essence is the same underlying logic."

"Then, will it be..."

"Because the secondary personality is a fan of a certain comic, and the main personality, 'Licking Cockroach Feet,' learned this, he began to stimulate the secondary personality through continuous subscriptions, forming his own goal. What about the controllable switching between personalities?"

"After all, comics also follow the common routines of novels and film and television dramas. In order to retain readers or viewers, they will create a sense of anticipation..."

"As we all know, the place where humans store memories is called the hippocampus."

"Anything that enters the brain and is remembered is stored in the hippocampus. Amnesia is generally related to the hippocampus. Damage to the hippocampus or severe stimulation can lead to memory loss. So, if the secondary personality 'Thunder King' is a fan of a certain comic, would the anticipation created by the comic's author lead to a strong obsession?"

"So, if the main personality, 'Licking Cockroach Feet,' discovered this, and took advantage of it, since it wasn't a comic book fan itself but knew that its secondary personality was, and every time it wanted to switch, it would deliberately read the latest plot of the secondary personality's beloved comic book. Once it felt immersed in the story, would that mean the switch was complete? Or perhaps, because the secondary personality was so obsessed with the subsequent plot, it would stimulate its awakening?"
