A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.
Chapter 1117 Schizophrenia
In Edward's memory, that person's name was Cesare de Montefiore.
The name Caesar de Montefiore not only appeared in Edward's memory, but also flickered in Anne's.
Before the game started, this person's social class was something Nie Wan could never reach.
He Chang's father had business dealings with the Montefiore family, but he didn't have a deep memory of this younger generation. After his death, this new generation of young people grew up, quickly took over the position of head of the family, and began to make arrangements for the younger generation.
Nie Wan had heard He Chang mention this name before, but she didn't have a deep impression of it. She only knew that he was the person who rose to the top of the rich list by riding the wave of artificial intelligence. He was exceptionally talented and came from an even more outstanding family. It seemed that he was born to be a winner in life.
But in Anne's memory, the part about that name was much darker.
Ten years ago, when her beauty was just beginning to show, the first man her father chose for her was Caesar.
Anne endured humiliation and torment as his mistress for three years, and as expected, she was abandoned when she finally matured.
Leveraging the connections and resources they gained as Caesar's mistresses, the Stewart brothers secured start-up funding for their research and maintained close ties with the Montefiore family and its affiliated consortium.
Anne used her beauty and body to facilitate these relationships, and even when the game began, she couldn't completely withdraw from it.
Although Anne gained the favor of the concept of fear and thus had a certain ability to protect herself, Caesar also had the inheritance and care of the concept, which was stronger and had greater control than fear.
Annie was unaware, but Nie Wan already understood that this more powerful concept was destruction.
Just as Anne could delegate the authority to fear to others, and others could then delegate that authority to others, passing it down level by level until it controlled everyone like a mother worm controlling her offspring, Caesar could do the same.
When Annie became the mother Gu of the concept of fear, she also became one of the child Gu of the concept of destruction.
Caesar is a suspicious and controlling man. Anne is someone he has been with, and he considers her his possession. Even if the game comes, he will not allow her to stand on her own.
If Anne, a young, beautiful, and capable mistress, was in such a predicament, Edward, an ordinary follower, would certainly not have a good time under Caesar.
Edward struggled at first when forced to accept the job of killing and collecting corpses, but the struggle was useless and there was no option to quit. Several players who couldn't stand being the Black Gloves and wanted to leave ended up in the oven without exception. Edward witnessed it all firsthand and didn't dare to go against Caesar.
His conscience, the moral bottom line of humanity, and the frustration of being unable to resist Caesar tore him apart, driving him completely insane.
I didn't know about Annie's existence, but even just seeing Edward's memories made me frown.
Tianxi Changyi was particularly perceptive in noticing this.
"He has mental problems."
He sought Nie Wan's consent with his gaze, and after receiving an affirmative reply, he directly reached out and pulled on Edward's memory fragments.
The scene lingers two months after the game's release, showing Edward returning to Caesar's villa to report the news.
“The man he met in the corridor was very strange,” Tianxi Changyi said.
The scene is from Edward's subjective perspective. He walks quickly in the shadows, covering ten meters in a single step, but is stopped by a figure that appears out of nowhere just as he is about to push open the door to Caesar's conference room.
“Don’t stop me, Eddie King. I’m here to report on the infiltration situation in the Oren District,” Edward said without even looking at the person blocking his way.
“That also requires a warrant from an adult.” The man called Eddie King had an Asian face, but judging from the details of his eyebrows and eyes, he looked more like someone from the Silla District.
His eyes were like still water, unmoving, staring straight at Edward, eerily sinister.
The two got into an argument, or more accurately, Edward verbally abused Eddie, who just stared at him coldly and refused to let him in.
Edward was only allowed to enter the room to report on his work after Caesar spoke from inside.
At first glance, this is a very normal scene.
If this Asian face doesn't look so familiar.
As these memories flashed by, this scene didn't immediately grab attention. But when Tianxi Changyi stopped the camera there, Nie Wan and Liu Guang looked closely and noticed that the face of this person named Eddie King had appeared before.
And it existed for a very long time.
It was the face of his high school chemistry teacher.
He was of Silla descent, and he was exactly thirty years old when he taught Edward, and coincidentally, his surname was Kim.
Are the exact same faces and the exact same surname just a coincidence?
"You mean he has a split personality, right?" Liu Guang Bu Gong Wo asked Tian Xi Chang Yi, who nodded in affirmation.
"This man named Eddie is appearing for the first time. He has never existed in Edward's memory before, nor has he had any related conversations or notifications. He just appeared out of thin air, yet Edward can call out his name."
Nie Wan narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Tian Xi Changyi, "Are you saying that he himself has schizophrenia?"
Tianxi Changyi nodded: "Actually, there were a few signs before, when he suddenly jumped to a large part of his memories, but I thought that might be due to the interference of concepts, so I didn't dare to make a judgment easily. But this scene, I think, is most likely due to his own personality split. The second personality suddenly emerged in order to prevent the first personality from going in to report, forming such a scene in his subjective memory."
“Logically speaking, that’s certainly possible,” Nie Wan said. “But this is a game, so the possibility is much greater.”
Tianxi Changyi frowned and said, "Are you being paranoid about your own concepts?"
“Yes, I also suspect that Caesar might have been involved.” Nie Wan looked thoughtfully at the two people confronting each other on the screen. “After all, Edward hasn’t been seen with Eddie since his defection. And…”
Nie Wan zoomed out to the end, and Edward's response to the ethereal clone that had suddenly changed its style after being possessed by him was a complete misstep, with each step a mistake. He even released Abra to deal with the clone without knowing how powerful it was.
In the scene, Edward is shouting and yelling, displaying a level of manners that is completely different from his status. At first glance, he seems unworthy of his position, but upon closer inspection, it seems that he is so terrified that he has lost his sense of proportion.
