Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 90 - 87 Can’t Take It Anymore?

[What’s going on?! What kind of development is this?]

[The plot is gradually heading in an indescribable direction...]

[As expected of you, Jiu cilang, you always manage to find scenes I would never have anticipated in a horror escape script]

[No, but what’s up with the young wife? Why is her attitude so different from before, like she’s a completely different person?]

[Is it intermittent amnesia?]

[Was the one in the office before a player in disguise? Like Yu Xueba?]

[I think there might be two young wives who look very much alike...]

[You all have the leisure to discuss such serious issues; wife, yellow hair, home invasion, training... even the seed repository in my study material folder isn’t this complete with elements]

[Honestly, if I still had a body and not just my thoughts, I’d be taking my pants off right now]

[But I’m really concerned about this. Isn’t there a pro to explain? I’ve been stuck in the audience for years, watched so many live streams, and never encountered this situation. Are there really two identical young wives? In the same instance? Isn’t that strange? Is it a bug? It’s one thing if the background NPCs have bugs, but even the female ghost is bugging out? Impossible, right? The most impressive part of this game is supposedly the flawless creation of the female ghost boss; how could there be such a bug?]

...

...

Regarding Li Shuyi’s situation, Wen Nan initially suspected it was similar to Yu Shujun’s case, thinking it was possible that either the one previously in the CEO’s office or the one now standing in front of him was a player disguising as the wife.

But he quickly dismissed that thought —

If a player wants to disguise as a character, the first step is definitely to destroy or remove the original character.

Wen Nan had seen tools in the store that allow players to disguise as characters, which only top-tier players of Gold rank and above have the qualification to purchase, meaning if a player has the capability to disguise as a character, taking out a strategy character in a beginner instance would surely be effortless.

Given that, if a high-level player had indeed infiltrated this map, there’s no way they would keep the original character and their counterfeit simultaneously in the map, otherwise, it would be too easy to expose the disguise.

Then there’s another scenario — two wives just look very much alike.

This possibility had already been ruled out when Wen Nan stepped through the wife’s door.

The shoe cabinet at the entrance had a pair of brand new men’s slippers ready, and the fridge had a seven-inch birthday cake, clearly prepared in advance, with the real intention of inviting Wen Nan over to celebrate a birthday.

Then why was the other party now acting like they had completely forgotten about it?

Is it truly intermittent amnesia, or is it a deliberate deception, wanting to play out some strange plot?

All these guesses were dismissed by Wen Nan after successfully scanning a second version of the character description through the system.

Whether it’s real amnesia or deliberate deception, there shouldn’t be two different versions of a character description.

After carefully comparing the two character descriptions and closely observing the expression and behavior of the wife in front of him, Wen Nan confirmed his suspicion.

The truth is, there’s only one —

Li Shuyi in the office in the morning and Li Shuyi at home now are the same person, just two different sides, or rather, two different souls.

Two different souls living in one body.

Wen Nan wasn’t sure what to call this phenomenon when it appeared in a game instance on a strategy character, fission? Mutation? Duplication?

However, in their psychiatric circle, this phenomenon has a fixed name — dissociative identity disorder.

Or more precisely, dual personality.

Why does dual personality appear, and how long has this been the case?

The answers to these two questions were both found in the two versions of Li Shuyi’s character description —

The divergence in her character descriptions began three years ago with her husband’s death in a car accident.

The second version clearly states that Li Shuyi rushed to the accident scene, held her husband’s body, and cried until she fainted, feeling as if she had died once.

This is likely the point in time when her second personality emerged, the one seen in the office in the morning.

Since then, the primary personality, Li Shuyi, continued to mourn her husband, unable to extricate herself from painful memories, while the secondary personality, though also feeling life lonely and dull, was no longer bound by the past and chose to drown her sorrows in bars and live life to the fullest.

Both personalities have their way of dealing with matters; Wen Nan had no right to interfere.

However, Wen Nan could be sure that to strategize for Li Shuyi, he must bring out the secondary personality from the morning office —

For one, the secondary personality clearly had a good impression of Wen Nan, while the primary personality resisted Wen Nan’s approach, so from a strategy perspective, Wen Nan naturally preferred interacting with the secondary personality.

For another, the main quest clue, the address of G.point, was unknown to the primary personality and could only be inquired from the secondary personality.

Therefore, Wen Nan took the current step —

He cornered the primary personality of Li Shuyi to the bed, forcing her in extreme shame and anger to choose to leave, letting the secondary personality emerge.

The reason for believing that the other party would want to escape when ashamed and angry was due to the scene in the living room earlier —

After Wen Nan asked the G.point question, the other party, unaware of the hidden G.point plot, thought Wen Nan was teasing her, and in that moment of rage and shame, her body trembled unusually, and her pupils were in a state of vibration, which Wen Nan recognized as a manifest sign of personality switching.

Yet at that time, Wen Nan waited for a while but saw the primary personality eventually prevailing, failing to switch out the secondary personality.

Further on, the primary personality of Li Shuyi directly ordered Wen Nan out and then returned to the bedroom alone.

In this case, Wen Nan had no choice but to take an unconventional approach, choosing to give her further stimulation, forcing the primary personality to choose escape and let the secondary personality come out.

Sure enough, after Wen Nan spoke that sentence, Li Shuyi’s body trembled again.

Her eyes reddened, she clutched the clothing of her late husband tightly, wanting to escape the man’s confinement in front of her, but she couldn’t succeed; eventually, shaking with helplessness, she said, "Mr. Ye, please don’t..."

Wen Nan naturally wouldn’t listen to her, deciding to push further.

Leaning forward, Wen Nan gently brushed his lips against her soft earlobe, the hot breath skimming over her ear, feeling her body clearly shiver.

She must be unable to endure it anymore, right?

Wen Nan thought to himself, yet...

9527: [Congratulations, the target ’the domineering young wife next door’ current strategy level has increased to: 19%!]

Wen Nan: ???
