When Yi Chen saw that the being modeled after the "First Dead Man" had appeared in the aquarium and was swimming in the Black Liquid, he was not only shocked but also imdiately fell into deep self-reflection. It was apparent that Deep Death had a significant impact on him, even affecting his most crucial mory layer.
"Could it be that the death I brought from the Original World shares the sa origin with the ’Deep Death’ explored by the First Dead Man?
Therefore, I remain unaffected by ’decay’ on the surface, but because of this saness, Deep Death penetrates directly into my Madness Brain, reacting with the Death Black Liquid hidden in the deepest part.
It leverages my nature, affecting my pre-life mory."
As Yi Chen thought this, he approached the tank and placed his entire palm against the glass surface,
Snap!
The half-headed ’Death Construct’ with a halo also swam over, extending its own palm, separated by glass, both palms aligned perfectly, even down to the length and thickness of each finger.
Continuing to look at the construct inside the tank, its half-head’s corresponding jaw, mouth, and nose structure were almost identical to Yi Chen’s.
But just almost identical, there were still so differences,
The skin tone of the Death Construct was yellowish, and its physical features were more akin to those of Asian descent, or rather, those of ’Yi Chen as an Asian before his death’.
The young man standing between the aquarium passages, who was also the ’Master’ of this mory Palace, was a laborer in the Seven-Day Cetery, a typical Caucasian, nad William Behrens.
At that mont,
The construct’s mouth began to wriggle, bubbles erging one by one, and from the simple shape of its mouth one could directly read its aning – it was repeatedly uttering a phrase.
§Yi Chen is , and you are William§
Constantly repeating, to emphasize the difference between them and their inseparable close connection, it also seed to be urging William to smash the glass and achieve their fusion.
The repetitive phrases gradually produced a hypnotic effect, so much so that William outside drew a pistol and aid it at the already severely damaged glass surface.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger,
Hum! A wave of brain waves spread through his brain, and William’s skull directly flipped open, revealing that beautiful, pitch-black, and dignified Madness Brain structure, symbolizing the craving for endless knowledge and madness.
A full-body epileptic seizure twisted William’s body and also brought him back to consciousness.
He fell to the ground, convulsing madly while muttering, "No... It’s not the ti yet! I am myself... Don’t affect my thinking!"
After the seizure ended, all was silent.
William quickly repaired the cracks in the aquarium, then impersonated a janitor to clean up the Black Liquid on the floor, igniting the candles between the corridors,
allowing the candlelight, glass, and the piled bodies in the tanks to block the ’spillover’ of the past.
As William turned to leave, the humanoid body resembling the First Dead Man pressed against the glass, a near-mad, pitch-black smile curling its lips.
Then, it pressed its mouth completely against the glass, its tongue licking and trembling, making a sound that made William’s skin crawl.
"Still afraid to face the [Ego]? Really now... Well then, if you encounter real danger outside, the kind of danger that can lead to certain death, the kind of danger you can’t face alone, then co in and release .
Don’t be too brave, William."
As the voice faded... Bang! A heavy door slamming echoed through the aquarium.
William had re-closed the dark iron door, and was taking out a special ’mory Gel’ to repair the holes in the door, he was about to complete filling the final hole, and softly said:
"Stay put inside there, Yi Chen."
...This text begins here, with the protagonist’s na officially changed to William by intermixing Yi Chen and William...
