Four Split Personalities

Game Time AM05:27

Academy City, Outer Ring District, Sunny Path

"Phew, finally made it."

Walking hastily on the path back, Motan, who had hardly stopped walking for the past hour, let out a long sigh of relief as he looked up at the gradually thinning starry sky, a trace of unease crossing his eyes.

To be honest, he wasn’t very supportive of his own hasty decision just a while ago.

The reason is simple, as he had thought when his personality was ’Absolute Neutrality’, such impulsive decisions, even if successful, are merely delays that don’t even address the problem.

It’s just extending the fragile balance between Yu Chen and himself a little longer.

Indeed, that feeling could be called ’happiness’, but it’s merely an illusion. As the person involved, Motan can fully understand his own feelings, but this doesn’t alter the already destined conclusion.

Motan cannot be with Yu Chen; in fact, he cannot be with any girl.

It’s unavoidable, any so-called struggle is just self-deception.

But there’s no choice, since the one choosing to deceive himself is ’himself’.

So now, all he can do is try to make any meetings that could happen at any time as seamless as possible, and try to eliminate any unintended consequences that might result in extreme outcomes.

Honestly, this is not an easy task...

Sure, Cole Shuren, who has been following him for a long time, is very excellent. Even in acting, which he is not particularly good at, he surpasses past artists who express less than a groundhog, cry for half an hour over a small wound, and whose dialogue skills and engagement level are inferior to a parrot. But he is ultimately just an NPC, an NPC whose worldview is completely different from that of average players.

Even Fyari, who has been trying to understand Otherworlders and already has some success, would get frustrated in conversations with him because of their dimensional differences, let alone Cole, a local whom he hadn’t intentionally taught Otherworld knowledge.

Given the huge worldview differences, having a common Otherworlder understand what a smartphone is poses a huge challenge, let alone using it in conversation.

Besides that, there are various ’points’ such as chat channels and interpersonal relationships in the Real World that are likely to have issues. Any issue, no matter where it happens, can lead to unimaginable results.

At least in reality, there’s Yi Dong to help cover up, but not in-game. That Zombie isn’t skilled yet and doesn’t even dare enter the city during this sensitive period.

In fact, if it weren’t for the Lais brothers helping to handle the most troublesome tail section, Cole wouldn’t even be able to impersonate Mor, which would make it a sheer hell difficulty.

After all, impersonating a Common Player who only knows Ji Xiaoge and a few NPC companions is entirely different from impersonating Motan, who is very familiar with Ji Xiaoge and Yu Chen in reality and has countless topics to talk about.

Moreover, in terms of personality, although Ji Xiaoge is a smart girl, under any personality, Motan consistently believes that Cole’s impersonation of Hei Fan would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of being seen through by Yu Chen.

In fact, not just Cole, even Motan himself during several offline gatherings shortly after his personality changed would cause Yu Chen to show a puzzled look. Although only ’puzzled’, it’s definitely not a good sign.

And this is Motan playing himself!

In other words, even the sharpest girl would find it hard to pinpoint an issue with a mental illness, but impersonation is not something that can be easily overlooked.

Motan has done his best.

He has instilled every conceivable question that might arise in that ’small gathering’ into Cole. He had the Lais brothers customize tools that can perfectly replicate the character of Mor when paired with [Hundred Forms], and he laid out all the preparations he could do.

Under Ivy’s operation, the time of Double Leaf and Diana has been quite tight, and Clown Brand can also help to transfer [Hundred Forms].

By then, he, who would appear in that small gathering as Hei Fan, would also try his best to provide support.

The rest is left to fate.

[So tired...]

Stretching with exhaustion, Motan shook his head with a bitter smile, feeling entirely overwhelmed.

Yet the next moment—

Whoosh!!!

Suddenly, a sound of breaking the air came from behind Motan.

Without a moment’s hesitation, in the instant he heard the sound, Motan side-stepped and twisted his body, drawing the[Justice Mandala]at his waist with his opposite hand, and fiercely struck at the attacker who unknowingly sneaked behind him.

Since arriving at Academy City, he soon found someone surveilling him, and even Ya Ya was targeted by someone controlling [Wang Chong]. Motan has been almost constantly vigilant during this time, especially while walking alone at night. Despite not being able to calm down, he made a calm, immediate response.

"Ouch!"

A cry suddenly came from the darkness, and the figure reflected in Motan’s vertical pupils staggered in place, narrowly avoiding his suddenly stalled sword strike and continued forcefully lunging forward after a brief pause.
