"The more positive feedback you get, the more you improve your skills, and the more you become aware of the gap between you and the masters."
"You will increasingly crave wisdom and talent."
"The key to this node lies in the closing part, where I let a personality emerge, attracting your attention, and allowing suspicion to kill it."
"Yes, this personality symbolizes Wen Xishu’s laziness... In fact, it is one of the weaker personalities among many."
Wen Xishu is indeed not lazy, which is why he can climb the tower relentlessly and furiously.
Now, without this personality, Wen Xishu will climb the tower even more crazily.
"Sacrificing this personality is mainly to stimulate your memory, making you more suspicious and fearful of your surroundings."
"It happened right when you said you were very happy again, and the number on your palm changed to 2... At this time, the increasingly intelligent you would definitely feel something was wrong."
"You yearn to find out the truth, but you are clueless, so you desire more wisdom to solve the mystery."
Yoshida Koki nodded.
Indeed.
When he was young, a number 1 appeared on his palm, which couldn’t be washed off, no matter how hard he tried. On the same day, he saw a strange masked man freerunning, attracting a mob chasing him.
In his youth, the number on his palm became 2, the masked man appeared again, and then suspicion arose, instantly killing the masked man.
Although in the end, suspicion and fear chose self-harm to eliminate Yoshida Koki’s doubt and fear... this incident left a profound impression on Yoshida Koki.
He couldn’t ignore it deep down.
Thoughts of something wrong with the world began to grow stronger.
Absolutely Calm Wen Xishu said:
"Next is Node 3. When you start the next node with a desire for the truth, over the years, this world has made you increasingly intelligent to keep you happy."
"Your various parameters are constantly rising."
"As you become smarter, you lose interest in various vulgar desires."
"You yearn to understand more essential things."
"Furthermore, Yoshida Koki spent his life unhappy due to intellectual deficits, so the main personality playing Koki, which is you, will crave wisdom even more."
"This desire and world mechanism make you smarter, raising your cognition so that your past memories, instead of becoming vague over time, are linked together by you."
"It seems to make you happier... but once your intelligence reaches a certain level, you can observe everything. Instead, you become unhappy because of it, killing ’suspicion’ as well."
Yoshida Koki nodded, or rather, the true main personality of Wen Xishu nodded:
"I understand. So... suspicion is gone because I already know the truth, I see through everything, my heart no longer has doubts, so ’suspicion’ disappeared."
Absolutely Calm Wen Xishu said:
"Exactly, so we are very lucky. Now, are you ready to return to being the true Wen Xishu?"
Yoshida Koki nodded:
"Of course."
As soon as he said this, the memories belonging to Wen Xishu began to flood in.
At this moment, Yoshida Koki, or rather the main personality of Wen Xishu, truly began to awaken.
The reason for choosing to awaken the main personality now is known by "Absolutely Calm Wen Xishu." If Yoshida Koki didn’t have enough wisdom, suddenly receiving this information—
would cause fear and panic, suddenly knowing the real self is already dead, knowing Grandpa burned half his brain to find him... would be very painful and unfortunate.
So, only after the main personality, Yoshida Koki, has enough wisdom, when Koki no longer has "suspicion," can he be told these things.
Otherwise, either Yoshida Koki wouldn’t be able to bear it, or "suspicion" would suddenly appear.
"So, Koki’s grandpa sacrificed so much for Koki." The true Wen Xishu said.
At this moment, there is no longer a so-called "Yoshida Koki" or "Absolutely Calm Wen Xishu."
Wen Xishu is now fully awake.
"This is the first time I couldn’t break free from a false life on my own, if not for the persona party and nightmare amnesty... I would already be dead."
"Even with these two series, if Yoshida Koki, the protagonist of this story, wasn’t unhappy due to intellectual defects, I wouldn’t have broken through. After all, happiness and wisdom are only proportional at a certain stage."
Once he recalled who he was...
Wen Xishu finally realized the danger of the human hole, no wonder the child at the entrance said no one had ever broken free of the human hole.
"Now, I’ve found myself again, and in this scenario, I gained ’wisdom,’ allowing me to calmly face any situation. I won’t fall into fear, sadness, anger, or anxiety."
Without these negative emotions, there naturally won’t be enemies materializing from negative emotions.
To some extent, Wen Xishu is now very safe.
"So, how do I leave? Additionally, this is just the outer layer of the human hole... the village of the human hole is filled with human holes. The cause of forming human holes might be in those inner human holes."
"If I were to enter those human holes... how could I maintain myself and not become someone else? Not everyone seeks wisdom like Koki."
