The darkness after dawn shrouded the exterior of Lup Fortress, and the depths of the forest were quiet and silent.

The entire fortress looked eerie and majestic in the night. The thick stone walls stood tall. The moat surrounding the fortress was faintly glowing with cold water waves, reflecting the sparse starlight. Occasionally, the light of the magic barrier shone slightly on the wall.

, as if there is an invisible giant beast entrenched within it, ready to devour approaching enemies at any time.

In this darkness, a team lurks quietly, waiting for orders.

Hundreds of wizards in robes of various colors were waiting in formation. No one in the team made any noise, only whispering incantations, like an undercurrent in the dark night, slowly brewing the craze that was about to break out.

Camille stood at the front of the team, surrounded by her six mask clones. Each mask was unique, like multiple incarnations of her personality.

Each avatar exudes silent coercion, and each is responsible for different tactical links, making her strategic intentions concrete.

They stood in the night, like invisible shadows, exuding a calm but unignorable sense of oppression.

Camille Shifenni's [Personal Mask Module] can be said to be Terra's most domineering, and even the most advanced [Module].

Ever since she developed the Persona, she has been unable to install other [modules] on her body. The Persona is extremely powerful in its rejection.

Moreover, the multiple [entries] and [Memes] fixed by Camille were also devoured and shattered by some personas, becoming supplies for the growth of the personas.

This powerful specificity gives the persona a powerful function.

There are nine masks in total, one main mask and the rest are secondary masks. Each mask represents a special type in psychology.

Main mask, perfectionist, type one: The mask is entirely white, simple and smooth, and the geometric pattern decoration exudes a cold sense of order, symbolizing the pursuit of absolute standards.

Secondary mask, helper, type 2: The mask is warm pink and decorated with flowers and heart-shaped patterns, symbolizing care and tenderness.

Sub-mask, achiever, type three: a golden mask with a streamlined design, symbolizing success and competition, symbolizing the desire for victory.

Sub-mask, individualist, type four: a dark purple mask with irregular textures on the surface, symbolizing uniqueness and deep emotions.

Sub-Mask, Thinker, Type Five: A simple black mask with a calm and rational design, with geometric patterns or labyrinth-like decorations, symbolizing the complexity and depth of thinking.

Second mask, Worrier, type six: The gentle blue mask is engraved with a shield pattern symbolizing defense, symbolizing protection and prevention.

Mask, Enthusiast, type seven: bright yellow, lively and dynamic shape, decorated with party balloons and sunshine patterns, symbolizing optimism and enjoyment.

Sub-mask, Challenger, Type 8: A solid red mask with a rough design and decorations on the surface with chains or rivets, symbolizing strength and dominance.

Sub-Mask, Peacemaker, Type 9: A soft beige mask with a smooth design and natural element decoration on the surface, symbolizing harmony and tranquility.

The characteristic of the persona is to choose one of the nine masks as the leader, and then the main mask is responsible for commanding the other masks.

Each mask has different strengths according to its owner. The more suitable some personalities are for the owner, the stronger it will be, and conversely, the less suitable it is for the owner, the weaker it will be.

Camille's personality masks tend to be Types 1, 3, 5, and 9. The least suitable mask is Type 7, and the other masks are of average strength.

It is worth noting that while the personality mask brings powerful functionality, it can also lead to the disorder crisis of "personality separation".

Normally, Camille learns nine personas in rotation in Deer Garden, and when fighting, she usually only takes on four masks: one, three, five, and nine.

Because if the masks are too differentiated and the distance is too far, the main personality will not be able to suppress so many sub-personalities.

Once the sub-personalities develop autonomous consciousness, they will begin to rebel against the main personality, and even try to devour the main personality to become the new "Camille Schiffany".

This is the first time that eight masks have been differentiated as intensely as today and are far away from the main personality.

The reason why the Emerald Witch dared to do this was of course because the Dark Lord was by her side.

Camille has known for a long time that dissociative personality disorder is very similar to the modern schizophrenia disorder.

Atypical antipsychotics are effective for both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia (such as apathy, social withdrawal). They physiologically act on dopamine receptors and also act on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors.

The syndrome of dissociated personality can be deduced from this. As long as a powerful agent can be found that can be effective on both positive and negative symptoms, then the secondary personality will not dare to cause trouble.

Camille has obviously found his acting body and anchor point.

Yes, Xia Xiu is the most perfect acting body, because he is powerful enough, so as long as he is next to the main persona, the other sub-personas will not cause trouble no matter what.

Of course, being powerful is only one of the reasons.

The persona has a huge connection with the individual, family, society, education, career and other important areas of life and emotions.

The reason why Xia Xiu can serve as an anchor is that in addition to being powerful, she also has a huge "temptation" for other personas.

These personas are the embodiment of extreme emotions.

For example, for Type 7, it is the persona that is least suitable for her.

The existence of this mask is like a hidden flame, which will always burn more fiercely when she is most vulnerable.

Type Sevens are always longing for freedom, excitement, and even a bit of fanatical possessiveness, especially when facing anchors.

Deep in her heart there is an unspeakable desire and a strong possessiveness. She will think of using very extreme ways to try to satisfy her desires. She is always thinking about how to possess the anchor point and how to take him.

Become your own unique possession.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Type 8 is also a troublesome existence sometimes. She sometimes appears suddenly with various restricted levels such as "taming", "challenge", and "training".

Delusion.

She will develop a series of extreme desires for control and strong taming impulses, and her focus on the anchor often turns into an overly intense desire, and she may even subconsciously try to compete with her master's personality.

This restrictive delusion, like silent gunpowder, accumulates dangerous energy.

The differentiation of eight clones has long been her limit, and letting them act independently and away from the protection of her body is an even more dangerous adventure.

The risk of dissociative personality disorder is always present.

But she still has an anchor point. Because of the existence of the anchor point, other witch personalities will hardly resist and are unable to resist.

"Achievers" are deeply attracted by the leadership and sense of achievement displayed by the Dark Lord, and regard him as a perfect goal, constantly motivating themselves to move towards higher levels.

The "Thinker" regards the Dark Lord as the absolute source of knowledge and power, and she pursues higher truths by his side.

The "Peaceful One" longs for all the peace in the Dark Lord's body. This peace comes from the overwhelming power he brings, as if no matter how crazy the storm is, it will cease because of his existence.

The persona represents Xia Xiu from different perspectives of Camille, and is often extremely easy to go to extremes.

And as long as there is an anchor point that can attract the attention of these extreme emotions, and the anchor point is powerful enough to deter them, then these witches will not resist the master personality.

Therefore, even if she did not meet the Dark Lord in the Ring of Naga, the Emerald Witch would take the initiative to pursue him.

Time quietly entered 3:00 of the Shadow Hour.

Loop Fortress is like a sleeping giant, standing alone in the night.

From time to time, the thick stone wall flashed with the gleam of the magic barrier, dyeing the water waves of the moat with a touch of cold fluorescence.

Around the fortress, the occasional patrol's flying broomsticks sounded, heavy and low, vaguely nervous and vigilant.

Deep in the forest, a team was hidden among the dense shadows of trees, so silent that it almost blended into the night.

The 1,200 wizards moved into small groups, and under the cover of [Trailing Steps] and [Veil of Secrets], quietly approached the defense range of the fortress.

Their footsteps were gentle, and their robes passed silently through the bushes, leaving only the inaudible sound of the wind.

Six figures stood at the command position in the dense forest. They were lined up in a row, and their masks gave off a dark luster under the light of magic.

These six personas are the core of the operation. They perform their own duties and coordinate the movement of the team with each other in an orderly manner.

The black "Thinker" mask stands in the center. Her calmness and rationality are like a stable center, firmly controlling the layout of the entire battle.

The sand table in her hand glowed faintly, reflecting the defensive layout of the fortress, and she whispered:

"The first echelon, approach the south gate as planned and deploy the magic barrier without being exposed; the second echelon, wait for the signal at the north gate. All teams pay attention to the fluctuations and changes in the outer boundary of the barrier."

Her voice is as cold as the night wind, and her command is precise and rapid.

Beside her, the golden "Achiever" mask leaned forward slightly, his eyes fierce and focused, with a determination to win.

She stared closely at the target point on the sand table with urgency in her tone:

"Don't delay for too long. The frequency of patrols is very high. We must seize the opportunity to tear open the first line of defense!"

"Quiet, follow the rhythm, don't make mistakes."

The thinker's voice was calm and quickly interrupted the achiever's eagerness.

At the end of the queue, the blue "Worrier" mask raised his head slightly, his eyes scanning the shadows in the forest warily.

She whispered: "There are abnormal fluctuations in magic power on the south side, which may be a detection circle. All teams should be careful not to touch the fluctuation area directly."

"coward!"

The red "Challenger" mask snorted coldly at the front of the team, with disdain in his tone.

"We don't need to be so cowardly. Even if these Aurors have barriers, they are just targets. Follow my orders, work in groups of three, and break through the defense line outside the south gate!"

The Worrier glanced at her coldly, his tone still calm:

"Your foolish confidence will get everyone killed."

"That's enough."

The Thinker Witch's voice was like ice, quickly quelling the dispute between the two.

She raised her head slightly and scanned the team calmly.
