Chapter 437: Chapter 312 Catch Me!_3

Shen Ye fell into contemplation.

However, before he could ponder further, that voice appeared again.

“Save… someone save me…”

It was like someone calling out right into his ear, increasingly clear, the tone of despair distinctly audible.

Shen Ye looked at Song Yinchen.

Song Yinchen was still chanting the names of Buddhas and Gods.

—She didn’t hear it.

What exactly was this—

A flash of Aurora suddenly crossed Shen Ye’s mind.

He frantically searched his body and probed the Ring with his spiritual power, finally finding that thing.

A tooth.

Shen Ye placed the tooth in his palm.

After the tooth appeared, not only could he hear the calling voice, but he could also feel gusts of cold wind blowing towards him.

Centered around the tooth, the surroundings kept changing, as if another world was approaching.

—The tooth of the Nine Aspects!

When he went to the Marchioness’ castle in search of Karula, it was the first time he met Charlotte, a personality of the Nine Aspects.

She had re-accepted herself as her subordinate.

As soon as he mentioned the Earth Mother’s information, she immediately gave him the tooth!

So—

It was Charlotte calling out to him!

“Catch me if there’s any trouble, Baxter,” she had said when she left.

Catch her.

Was she at a disadvantage in the fight between personalities?

Catch her—

If she won, perhaps he could still have a say in many matters!

If another personality of the Nine Aspects took over, it might destroy everything!

He had to help her!

Shen Ye clenched the tooth, instinctively taking a step forward.

In an instant, everything around him vanished.

Song Yinchen and the spacious, luxurious living room disappeared.

In their place was a gigantic tank.

This tank was about the size of a football field and was about seven or eight meters deep, filled with cold blue liquid.

Shen Ye saw a child lying in the tank, his body pierced with various tubes and wearing an oxygen mask.

About five years old.

Around this child floated a group of children’s corpses.

A mechanical arm was clearing those bodies.

It took all the bodies away, leaving only that child still wearing the oxygen mask.

…What was going on?

Shen Ye waved his hands, only to find that they passed through the water.

He took a light breath.

No water rushed into his nose.

At this moment, he felt like a ghost.

Suddenly.

Shen Ye realized something.

He flew out, passing directly through the outer wall of the tank, then through the thick wall—

The wall had a thirty-centimeter-thick alloy interruption, and outside that, two meters of concrete were poured, offering plenty of protection.

On that heavy wall hung a sign:

“Human Extreme Pain Tolerance Research Laboratory.”

—Strictly speaking, these characters were not of a kind he recognized.

But he understood them nonetheless.

So.

Was this the dream of the Nine Aspects?

Or a memory?

Were its personalities clashing inside a dream or memory?

Shen Ye looked at the sign and once again passed through the wall into the tank, approaching the child.

The child was still deep in hypnosis.

Suddenly.

A piercing alarm rang out around him.

All the lights in the room went out.

The ceiling cracked open.

Heavy chunks of concrete struck the tank, toppling it in an instant and spilling all the liquid within.

The child woke up.

She calmly removed all the tubes from her body and took off the oxygen mask.

Boom—

A violent rumble sounded outside.

Then came gunshots, screams, and explosions, one after another.

The five-year-old girl stood up from the ground, her expression serene, her gaze landing on Shen Ye, and she spoke:

“Who are you?”

She could see me!

This was the moment to catch her.

Catch her.

How to catch her?

In a case of multiple personalities, the appearance of each personality had specific conditions.

What were the conditions for Charlotte’s appearance?

And the main personality?

He didn’t know.

“I am your friend,” Shen Ye said.

“Really? I’ve made many friends, but they only come to class once and then leave, while I’m always here, unable to leave,” the girl said, sounding a bit sad.

The girl was easy to talk to and willing to converse.

Shen Ye glanced up.

The electronic screen on the wall kept flashing until it finally went dark.

But before it went out, Shen Ye had seen that line of text:

“Test number 3721 is in progress.”

He said:

“Did they take the test with you?”

“Yes, they must have passed, so they could go back to their mom and dad, but not me,” she said, her voice tinged with sadness.

“So… why can’t you pass the test?” Shen Ye asked.

“Because the test is too painful, I can’t hold on, and whenever it becomes unbearable—”

The girl’s tone suddenly changed, her voice rising, carrying a hint of coldness:

“Then it switches to me to endure the pain and torture.”

—Her personality had switched!

“Who are you?” Shen Ye asked.

“I am Charlotte.”

“Why can you endure what others can’t?”

“Because I’ve found the secret.”

“A secret?”

“Yes, I’ve discovered that pain can activate a person’s potential, allowing my spirit to leave my body and connect with a white world that keeps infusing me with strength.”

“It helps me heal my body and reveals endless mysteries to me.”

Shen Ye fell silent.

The white world…

It was the Dharma Realm.

Such remarkable talent.

He wondered if Song Yinchen was like this as a child.

“Do you all live in one body?” Shen Ye asked.

The girl looked at him and continued: “The body is just a machine, Lancy and I take turns using it—”
