Chapter 568: Chapter 565: "You really should die.In a service area enclosed by barbed wire and filled with a heavy amount of dust and ash, people were laboring.
Most of them were gaunt, their bodies adorned with circular metal objects.
In their eyes, there was no longing for tomorrow, only the deathly stillness of dust; they cleaned the ground, carried bricks and tiles, repaired machines, worked on assembly lines... They were like mechanical gears, completely stripped of the will to be "human".
A portly man with the designation [MST (Decision-making Personality)] emblazoned across his chest was rubbing his hands together, smiling broadly at Ming’an, who was seated in a wheelchair beside him.
"—Doctor, as you can see, this batch is working in the environment for the modified laborers of M03. They all possess inferior personalities, and their emotional monitoring is often unstable," the portly merchant said with a grin.
The portly man’s name was Wang Dongsheng, an MST who had invested in this containment area.
MST (Decision-making Personality) individuals usually have extremely high intuition and can make the most precise judgments. Because of their strong insight, they are very popular in intelligence organizations and reconnaissance agencies. Those who carve out a unique path for themselves might go into business, usually making optimal commercial decisions.
Businessmen are driven by profit, and Wang Dongsheng naturally didn’t regard the psychological states of these potential criminals. After all, the potential criminals in the refuge had no human rights; if they weren’t imprisoned, they would cause harm sooner or later.
Ming’an looked through the electrified barbed wire at the crowd, which seemed as insignificant as pigs and dogs.
He maneuvered his wheelchair around.
"Ah, Doctor, as you can see, our living environment is certainly limited, primarily due to insufficient funding. If you could..." Wang Dongsheng was attempting to say more when he saw two figures rapidly approaching.
"—Doctor, what are you doing here?"
"—Let me take you back."
Two young men who looked almost identical and wore square caps came running over. They seemed to have a telepathic connection; one naturally intercepted Wang Dongsheng, while the other naturally took hold of the wheelchair.
They were a pair of twin re
"— Doctor!"
"— Doctor!"
The twins talking about the pretty girl suddenly panicked; one went to call for help while the other supported Su Ming’an to prevent him from collapsing.
Su Ming’an’s gaze was somewhat vacant, his vision a murky darkness.
...The weakness of this body is truly frightening.
Creating things would definitely consume the hidden stamina bar, but as his vision blackened, he had no idea how much time had passed.
By the time he regained consciousness, he was already lying in bed.
A distinct smell of blood lingered at the tip of his nose, evidently, he had coughed up quite a bit of blood again.
But during those brief fragments of consciousness, he seemed to have heard some voices. They didn’t come from beside his ears, but inside his mind, like the sounds of a memory.
...
["Before officially crossing the line... please stop! I beg of you!"]
...
["From now on... no one will tremble in fear anticipating the impending night."]
...
["...Goodnight, Doctor."]
...
["At times like this, I feel like I can, somewhat understand, the feeling you spoke of... that cannot be lost."]
...
Su Ming’an sat up, subconsciously pressing his fingers against his temples, massaging them—a method he used to calm himself down in high school.
But now, realizing that his actions were somewhat dangerous, he casually withdrew his hands.
He didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable, his Bright State stamina and health were high. It was just that the weakness this body brought made him feel superficially fragile.
He glanced at the System Time, 9:45 PM, the first day since instance activation.
This was his own room, no one around, eerily quiet. Not even the lights were on, and a few unlabeled little medicine bottles were placed next to him, probably the medicine Acto regularly took.
Perhaps Acto also experienced these sudden fainting spells, and people just left after placing the medicines down.
He got out of bed and started searching the room; he’d left in a hurry during the day and hadn’t had the chance to search Acto’s room himself yet.
The red circle of Clue Insight was too obvious, and he walked straight to the locked storage cabinet.
"Shua shua."
After unlocking it, he found a stack of papers written by Acto himself.
The content was very interesting.

...
"..." Su Ming’an flipped through the files one by one.
Each one listed people’s identities and their predetermined death outcomes, clearly written by Acto himself.
"You truly deserve to die, Acto," Su Ming’an muttered to himself.
He flipped to the second to last page.
...
[MAT (Tang Tang)
Identity: from the eastern impoverished district
Evaluation: An ordinary MAT, maybe suitable as an initial experimental subject.
Recommended death outcome: Inform her of her mother’s death to induce emotional overload. And I will provide psychological counseling to see if she will show signs of "Personality Degradation".
Note: Outcome achieved. She committed suicide during psychological counseling, a pity she did not degrade into an inferior persona before her death, it seems the Dawn Brain does not need adjusting for now.]
...
Su Ming’an frowned.
...Was this treating living humans as experimental subjects for testing [Persona], arbitrarily scripting their ends to test the rationality of personas?
What did this Acto take those who admired him for?
Su Ming’an’s frown deepened as he opened the last page.
Seeing the name on this page, he was stunned.

[MBT (Yasa Acto)
Identity: Myself
Recommended death outcome:...
