Chapter 206: Mireille
Darkness was devouring Clark’s vision, fear was squeezing his fragile reason, the truth of things and forgotten memories like boiling tides easily submerged Clark’s personality……
Time rewound to when Clark was abducted by the Remnants of Sancai and just brought to the underground secret base.
“Clark Carter, an important advisor of the Anomaly Biological Foundation in the New York region, whose over forty years of life safely crossed thirty-three provincial-level or higher anomaly events, and whose mind never showed any trend of anomaly contamination, there aren’t many people in this world as rational as him.” The Burly Rat looked at Clark’s face with a somewhat intoxicated expression, grinning strangely, “The Book of Truth said he will be the key to the success of this experiment, perfectly suited as the stabilizer for the experiment!”
“Both as the stabilizer and the best role for deification.” The other Reorganized Humans were extremely satisfied with Clark.
In response, the Burly Rat sneered and said: “Whether he is the final object of deification is not for us to decide. Let us wish him good luck.
In that mental world dominated by the multiple personality patient, Dr. Clark must also keep his reason well, and not die easily…… Hahaha.”
The mad Remnants of Sancai laughed wildly, and in an instant they vivisected Clark, peeling him like an egg, leaving only a smooth brain. To keep the brain alive, they first soaked it in the amniotic fluid of the Black Goat Mother filled with pervert active substances, then inserted electrodes into the brain, and placed Clark’s brain in a specially made laboratory, together with other brains that had undergone the same process.
As the Special Sound Wave played in the laboratory, a fantastical yet eerie scene appeared in the laboratory, with hazy purple-red flashes surging in the room, and the brains in the laboratory also underwent strange changes due to the influence of the sound wave.
However, what these Reorganized Humans did not know was that their so-called “stabilizer” was actually not stable. In the depths of the heart of Dr. Clark Carter, who appeared glamorous and successful in his career, a terrifying “demon” had always been lurking.
That demon killed family and devoured friends, utterly inhuman, adept at disguise, with strong self-destructive and anti-social tendencies, she was like Clark in the mirror, his absolute opposite.
While those Reorganized Humans were smugly chatting away, unbeknownst to them, the sin lurking deep in Clark’s mind had heard all their plans.
When Clark’s consciousness entered the Mind World, his opposite consciousness also descended into the Mind World simultaneously in the form she desired, and because she remained conscious upon entry, she was one of the earliest “born” and “awakened” beings in the entire Mind World.
Upon her first arrival in this world, she stood barefoot and naked in the icy snowfield, feeling an unprecedented exhilaration. Looking back at Clark who was still waiting to awaken, she made a decision in her heart.
She wanted freedom, to become the Ruler.
Since she was his mirror, then she would be called Mireille（mirror）.
Mireille realized that with only her own power, she was weak; she could not act rashly and needed to prepare for the final hunt like a patient snake or an ambushing wolf. To scheme everything perfectly, she must become the protagonist who triumphs in life in the final grand curtain.
To this end, she had always paid close attention to observing this Mind World, recording the rules of the Mind World. She knew about the existence of Memory Objects earlier than anyone else. The so-called Memory Object is the strangest item each person carries when “born” into this Mind World; its form and function have basically no pattern, but they are generally the things the master cares about most deep in their memories.
Mireille’s Memory Object was a fake gemstone, the best gift from her childhood playmate to him, and she would treasure it in her belly just like in childhood.
But what amused Mireille was that Clark, missing this part of his memory, did not know the “value” of that pocket watch; it was the only thing their biological parents gave them during their childhood.
The time displayed on that pocket watch seemed to be the time in Reality, and Mireille was certain that her other half, Clark, would eventually detect the falsehood of this world through the anomaly of the pocket watch, which was exactly what she desired, part of her plan.
Clark was her helper, and he must be her helper.
Among the personality splitters who entered this world, there was not only Clark, but also a personality splitter named Eve.
Through Mireille’s observation and confirmation, the Bluebeard the Count, who held the “dominant” identity in this world, was one of Eve’s split personalities.
To figure out who else in the castle was Eve’s other split personalities, Mireille came to the castle as a traveler and smoothly joined the castle. During her “work” in the castle, she investigated and finally distinguished them.
Eve had a total of four split personalities: Bluebeard the Count symbolizing lust, gluttony, and sloth; Butler Valente symbolizing wrath, arrogance, and greed; Cook Hera symbolizing jealousy; and Kander the gardener representing Eve’s cowardly good side.
What puzzled Mireille immensely was that the relationship among these four split personalities was not as special as hers and Clark’s. These four personalities did not know of each other’s existence, and perhaps because of this, they did not have the “one-way shared life and death” sensation like she and Clark.
Mireille could feel Clark’s feelings, meaning that if Clark was injured, she would synchronously take damage; Clark’s death might also mean her death. What displeased her was that her injuries could not make Clark “synchronize.”
Mireille speculated on this: in the Mind World, once a split consciousness knows who the source body is, they will share damage; if the other side does not know, this “sharing” is one-sided.
Therefore, Clark must stay alive, at least until the end, to be killed by her own hand!
Mireille knew well the abilities of her other “self.” To avoid being passive and being discovered by Clark, she made a bold decision.
After learning of the evil deeds of Bluebeard and Valente in the castle, she deliberately guided Kander to discover their secret.
The kind Kander, after a period of self-encouragement, overcame his cowardice, stole and sealed the Shadow Stone Sculpture of Peering into All Things that Bluebeard and Valente worshiped, preventing them from continuing to harm people.
Then, Mireille schemed to expose Kander’s actions. Before the enraged Bluebeard and Valente found him, she first took Kander’s Memory Object and pushed him into the abyss, killing him with her own hands, thereby replacing his identity and becoming the “source body” that Bluebeard and the others believed in.
