morning.

Astante, the capital, is the residence of the elegant Lancelot.

Oliver Queen stood waiting respectfully in the room. There was only a bamboo curtain between him and the teacher. The bamboo curtain was sparse, and a figure could be vaguely seen gently stroking the strings, and the sound of the piano came from the eaves like raindrops.

He fingered the pops. As he listened, his heart was drawn to a classical courtyard by the notes, and he could no longer remember the turmoil in the world...

After a long time, the song ended, and the lingering sound lingered. The man behind the bamboo curtain did not put away the lyre, but still put it on his lap, and just asked: "Have you heard about the recent rumors?"

"Yes." Oliver bowed his head. Scott Sonmas was not as good as Lancelot. This was widely known, but he didn't expect that even the reclusive teacher knew about it.

"Scott can tolerate the entire continent in his eyes, but he cannot tolerate me. He will definitely hate me even more after the rumors spread this time. Although Your Majesty is wise and will not listen to the rumors, there will be a thorn in Scott's heart. The heart of a hero

The thorn is the most difficult to remove, and once the thorn occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. I must continue to stay at home, and you, Oliver, are my students, and you should not continue to show your enthusiasm, otherwise someone will fabricate the truth.

"The man behind the bamboo curtain said.

"Yes." Oliver said.

"You can explain to the Knights of the Iron Heel and come back. I haven't talked to you about music theory in a long time."

"Yes, teacher." Oliver said.

The man behind the bamboo curtain nodded: "Very good. Go ahead."

Oliver walked out of the room and heard the long sound of music coming from behind him, like a river stretching for thousands of miles. He immediately adjusted his breathing evenly, followed the notes and rhythm, and left the room. But he didn't have his usual smile. When he walked to

At the door of the big house, he stopped.

There were many people outside the door. Although the guards stopped them, they refused to disperse. Some of them were dressed luxuriously, and some had soot or grease on their hands, but their expressions were equally sincere. The land price in this area

It is very expensive and high-profile (because the guardian hero lives here), and ordinary people will not gather here casually. There is only one reason for these people to show up: they cannot accept His Majesty's decision. Funeral mold killed hundreds of thousands of people

, this is simply a sworn blood feud, but the sentence "We reconcile with the Twilight Empire" reveals the matter. This is impossible! So they hope that the guardian hero will come forward and admonish His Majesty. It can be said that the elegant Lancelot is

Their only life-saving straw, while they were eagerly looking forward to the hero's appearance, they also hurt the marshal's self-esteem.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Oliver felt a little dazed for a moment.

Is it because I helped the Knights of the Iron Hoof to gain fame? No, it was to deal with the undead creatures! But at such an urgent moment, the teacher deliberately showed weakness in order to clarify a rumor and restrained my hands and feet... and the public anger.

In comparison, it doesn’t matter what kind of words you say, right?!

Thinking of this, his breathing became disordered, and he almost turned around to ask the teacher for clarification, but the music suddenly became intense, like a rising flood, drowning him all at once. His rhythm was disrupted, causing his body, which had already been coordinated to the transformation state, to

He couldn't help but stop. Soon, the music slowly dropped, as if it was exposed on the river bed. By this time, his impulse had disappeared.

He rubbed his fingers, faced the crowd, shook his head and said: "It is forbidden to gather here, and it is also forbidden to spread rumors. Everyone, please go back."

The crowd immediately became excited, and many people left disappointed, but more people raised their fists and shouted, wanting the guardian hero to come out. Oliver tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, walked to the guard captain, and said: "Bring it on

The leaders should be arrested to serve as a warning to others, but they must not be abused."

"yes."

Then, Oliver Queen stood at the door of the big house, watching the people being arrested one by one amid the music. His breathing did not blend into this space, but felt a little out of place. This was the first time in his life.

.When he started walking again, it was as if he was being pushed away by the sound of music, walking with a heavy heart.

Saturday, December 29th.

Today I made an appointment with a psychiatrist, so Qingyi once again invited Hei Fengrui to accompany me. After the two of them arrived at the clinic in a familiar way, Hei Fengrui sat on the chair in the reception room with his iPad (this was almost his special seat).

, waving his hands like a dog: "Go ahead, this time I will win three stars in one go!"

"Typical video game addict, you should come in."

Qingyi mumbled and pushed the door open. What made him a little strange was that Dr. House was not there. The computer was on and there were several Japanese comics on the desktop. Qingyi picked it up and read it. It was called "Bleach"

). He couldn't help but laugh: "In the past, the protagonists were mostly Doraemon or little monks, but now even detergents can be the subject?"

"Oh, what you said is totally wrong." Dr. House came in and happened to hear Qingyi's words, and joked: "You haven't even watched "Bleach"? Are you already thirty years old this year?"

"Is this comic famous? There is no requirement that young people must read it, right?"

"Of course it's famous! My son likes watching it very much. Mr. Zhang, have you never heard of it?"

"I don't read comics."

"What a pity. This comic is quite good. There are many psychological metaphors in it, such as 'the monster has a hole in its chest', 'putting on a mask makes you become a darker version of yourself', etc."

Qingyi smiled and said: "I thought it would be a story like 'Velush vs. Woolen Jacket'. Are you watching it just because of psychology?"

"That's right! Okay, how have you been lately? Have you ever had any psychological shadow?" Dr. House sat up, crossed one leg, and held his knees with both hands.

Qingyi thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Would you be surprised if I said that I trigger it once a day on average, and it is triggered by actively recalling psychological shadows?"

"Can you elaborate a little bit more?"

To Qingyi's expectation, the doctor was not surprised. Instead, there was a sense of "it's true" in his words! Is every psychology student so calm? "Let me tell you about my second personality first -

"

"Don't be so sure yet." The doctor interrupted.

"I know that doctors shouldn't induce patients to think in that direction. If you mind, I call it a 'negative state'. In this state, my feelings will be very indifferent and I will not trust anyone except myself.

; I can use my subordinates to block the sword, and I will analyze and fight absolutely rationally. In other words, this is a perfect fighting machine."

The doctor nodded: "Sounds very interesting, like a special forces soldier."

"But I have never received special forces training. This state is part of my instinct."

"Hmm... have you given this state a name or even a dialogue?"

"Both. I think it should be called 'Bone Tyrant', but it doesn't care about the name. In addition, it only appears in my heart when I am extremely angry or threatened with death, but I can suppress it.

It cannot occupy my body." Qingyi blinked: "Is this considered the category of a second personality?"

"It's still unclear. Since it is such a terrifying personality, it should often want to invade the body. The fact that you can suppress it shows two points: First, it is not a second personality, and its actions are still in your hands.

It is under control; second, it is a second personality, but your willpower is so strong that it has to listen to you." The doctor jotted it down and said: "Please continue."

"In online games, you know, you will always have to fight with others. Many people are not suitable for playing fighting games. They cannot perform combos such as 'down + right + light punch' because they are not focused enough.

, my body is also unable to coordinate, and my emotions fluctuate too much. Of course I am a little better than ordinary players, but it is not enough. Only when I am on the dark side can I be infinitely close to those top people."

"After each induction and release of this state, do you feel any physical discomfort?"

"To induce the 'Bone Tyrant', I have to recall that scene. Every time I feel briefly nauseous, dizzy and even tinnitus. In this state, I can hardly feel anything, completely violating the law of 'tension and relaxation'

, it seems that I can fight with high intensity for an unlimited time. After I release the state, I will feel very tired, and I don’t want to think or judge. In addition, I will fall asleep half an hour late that night when I enter the state. I am obviously very tired, but my brain flashes

There are so many pictures that I don’t feel sleepy at all.”

"Yeah?"

Dr. House said, picked up the comic and clicked the bookmark to open a page. Following his fingers, Qingyi saw that the hero of the comic was wearing a skull mask: "Before putting on the mask, his fighting ability was very average, but after wearing it

After that, his fighting power skyrocketed, and his attacks were ruthless. Did you notice? After wearing the mask, the whites of his eyes became black, and the pupils of his eyes turned white instead? The eyes are the windows to the soul, and this shot just illustrates the change in his mental state. He

The situation is very similar to yours. The 'Bone Tyrant' is not a second personality, it is just a mask that you choose to wear or not."

Qingyi stared at the male protagonist for a few seconds before saying, "Interesting. It seems like I am copying his life."

"It's not plagiarism, it's just similar, equivalent to a kind of 'transformation'. In comics of the same level as "Bleach", there is also a coward with a long nose who gained courage by wearing a mask; in "Marvel Comics" this

There are many examples, such as a clerk who tore off his coat and turned into Spider-Man. From weak to powerful, this kind of 'transformation' that seems to reach the sky in one step has been around throughout the ages, and fully reflects people's spiritual needs. Everyone wants to

To become stronger, this is how 'transformation' was born." The doctor drew a circle on the paper, then divided one into two and blackened one half: "However, transformation is not always good.

Of course, heroes have villains. After the transformation, they lose their humanity and become cruel and evil. The Japanese anime circle vividly calls it 'blackening'."

"That doesn't sound like much."

"Oh, in fact, 'blackening' is also people's spiritual needs, and it is not a shameful thing. Everyone goes to extremes sometimes. They are particularly eager to challenge the law and morality with powerful force, and can vent their dissatisfaction, anger and

Painful. For example: My son likes a game character called 'Yori', but he likes 'Crazy Yagami' even more, saying that it's so cool."

Dr. House's expression became serious for the first time, and every word suddenly lost its human touch: "Although you have induced the emergence of negative emotions many times and can withstand its intensity, as a practicing doctor, I
