Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2444 - 1151: Unknown to the World (IV)

For those of us with a certain degree of God’s Eye View, it’s not hard to see that the renowned Dr. White真, who is also Yu Chen’s mother’s woman, is anything but ordinary. And this abnormality is not the kind of ’looks like a child but wise beyond measure’ abnormality, but something more outlandish, more mysterious, more anomalous, more sensational.

White真 is not the only such person. For instance, the man known as ’Tian Shu’ who she spoke with on the phone just minutes ago, who is also Cui Xiaoyu’s father, possesses similar qualities.

In fact, like Yu Chen’s mother White真 and Cui Xiaoyu’s parents, Yi Dong’s parents, Wanyang’s parents, Kanglan’s parents, and the Ji Family sisters’ parents, all can be said to belong to another world.

Even those of the same generation as Motan, including Guxiaole, have a place in that realm far removed from the everyday world.

Among them are Mediums, Onmyoji, and Outsiders whom Motan once tried to understand.

These are entities that are unscientific, unrealistic, difficult to explain with common sense, and yet they exist vividly.

In Motan’s understanding, these people possess powers that ordinary people can hardly comprehend. The kind that only imagine within games, anime, movies, such as manipulating lightning, erasing memories, exorcising demons, all truly exist within them, and these people live in this world, even being allowed to become part of the world view.

However...

This permission is limited.

On the one hand, self-restraint is necessary. As ’Supermen’ with powers far beyond ordinary people, they are well aware that they cannot be as active as the superheroes in literary works, otherwise, they will likely not be greeted with flowers, applause, and romantic encounters, but with swiftly armed ironclad ships and cold laboratory tables.

As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind must harbor different intentions. Even if these Aberrants proclaim themselves as human, and indeed they are, when they step out of the hidden world, it’s unlikely anyone would want to regard them as human.

Jealousy, envy, fear, and the exploration of the unknown—these intertwined desires are enough to make them enemies of the world, unless they are willing to destroy this world.

In fact, over the millennia, it’s not that no similar Aberrants have tried to overthrow society, wanting to live righteously and shamelessly under the sun, but they all failed without exception.

The person closest to success was a certain genius nearly thirty years ago, who almost singlehandedly performed absolute ’corrections’ to this world from the origin of civilization, but ultimately fell just before the last step to success.

Ironically, the ones who stopped him were, likewise, a group of ’Aberrants.’

Of course, that is another story.

In essence, to not cause too much impact on this world, to ensure that themselves and their companions can live in peace, to continue enjoying the daily lives of ordinary people, the vast majority of ’Aberrants’ will not cross a certain line. Of course, there are grey areas like playing on the edge, such as the Ferry Les and Joe Les brothers who sold advanced hardware to Motan, but generally, it’s harmless.

At least, as of the year 2049, this world is still relatively harmonious and stable, and the Earth continues to revolve as it should, even if occasionally there’s news like ’a delivery man rushes into a fire to save fifteen people,’ everyone just thinks the delivery man is kindhearted and has a sense of justice, without imagining that ’he might be the type to suddenly wear his underwear outside.’

The above is a rather subjective reason.

On the other hand, besides self-restraint, there is also a certain force that exists in the unseen. Though it’s something infinitely similar to a ’concept,’ it is the true core reason that prevents those ’Aberrants’ from acting recklessly.

This is not surprising, after all, more than morality, it’s criminal law that is the core factor in maintaining social stability.

And for all ’Aberrants,’ that ’concept’ carries an even greater weight than criminal law.

We can give a simple example. For instance, there’s a person with low moral standards called Zhang San...

If Brother San’s poor moral standards lead him to commit some unlawful act, like stealing someone’s phone on a bus and getting caught, even if he steals a phone from an armed police officer and is caught red-handed, at most, Brother San will return the item and serve some time, leaving with an unsightly record, but he’d still eventually be released.

If Brother San is somewhat capable, a daring figure nicknamed ’Quick Blade Pig-head San’ on the street, after injuring someone and being captured by the authorities, he would go through the full legal process, from recording a statement to going to court. If Brother San is wealthy and influential, can hire some powerful lawyers, he might even manipulate some unmentionable proceedings and get acquitted.

But, dear friends, but—

If Brother San is one of those aforementioned ’Aberrants,’ with equally low moral standards, and intends to use his powers to steal someone’s phone, then...

Well, it’s just a phone; it probably wouldn’t cause much trouble, and Brother San would most likely succeed.
