Four Split Personalities

The two chatted for another ten minutes, and Motan left the public space due to illness, forced to log out.

Since players’ talents, skills, and items cannot take effect in the public space, Motan did not receive the buffer of [Sage’s Long Vision], but rather vanished with a ’crack’ as he had not in a long time.

However, since the other party was Yi Dong, who was completely in the know, it wasn’t a big deal, and a simple notice when he logs back in would suffice.

Thus, Motan, who had passively switched personalities, did not leave the game cabin but directly logged back into The Realm of Innocence—

...

"Sigh, this is a bit too overwhelming, isn’t it?"

Motan, who appeared in the room, sighed softly as he routinely ’patrolled’ two laps around the room, finding nothing unclean before opening the friends list, sending Yi Dong a message saying he’s currently using this character, and to contact him directly with any issue, then sat backwards on the chair (otherwise his tail would be uncomfortable) and started to worry with a slightly helpless expression.

To say what he was worried about... there was simply too much.

Put aside the big trouble of someone impersonating ’him’ to meet him, and the ’game’ with Double Leaf which could lead to big problems if slightly careless, the recently accepted [Warfire League] was also a concern.

However, that being said, there’s already a plan to handle someone impersonating him, so there’s nothing much to dwell on other than sticking to the plan.

Regarding Double Leaf, Motan believes he will manage well when in the ’Chaotic Neutral’ personality state, yet now because of his high bottom line, he finds it hard to think of a reason, so he simply stopped pondering.

As for accepting Foster Ward’s invitation and agreeing to take part in that large-scale military simulation competition, he must deliberate seriously.

The reason is simple: though others may not know, Motan who understands his own psychology is very clear. Not long ago, when he agreed to Foster as the ’Black Vatican Priest’, he did not think much.

In a flattering sense, it’s retreating sensibly and giving up resistance.

In a less flattering sense, it’s agreeing impulsively.

[But just like Lady Elyssa said, since he’s been pushed to the fore, maintaining his previous ’stranger’ image is no longer realistic.]

Motan lazily wagged his tail while sighing inwardly, then murmured softly, "Moreover, things are already different now... sigh."

Since he was talking to himself, Motan didn’t finish the sentence, instead transforming thousands of words into a lengthy sigh, laying on the back of the chair with a complex expression, quite annoying.

Despite this, we can still analyze his mindset from God’s Eye View—

Firstly, the phrase ’things are now different from before’ clearly wasn’t referencing his current state as the character ’Mor’, nor the Chaotic Neutral persona of ’Tan Mo’. The reason is simple: when in corresponding personality states, they inherently are uniquely individualistic; the latter needs no extra words, even as ’Mor’ now, everything he does is truly what he wants to, never contradicting his current ’nature’ or ’persona’, even in seemingly fruitless tasks.

Thus, the different him could only be Motan in the ’Absolute Neutrality’ personality state, and ’Hei Fan’ in the game of The Realm of Innocence.

If he is very ’individualistic’ in the other two states, then Motan in the Absolute Neutrality personality state is very ’go with the flow’.

Of course, over the years, this ’go with the flow’ approach was also a clear personality trait for him, as it is for most normal people.

But this time, it doesn’t seem so simple.

Because while in the Absolute Neutrality personality state as ’Hei Fan’ in-game, due to his own will, without being driven to extremes, he went against his persona.

Before, even knowing Foster Ward is a very difficult man, and knowing how hard it is to stay transparent under current conditions, if he were ’Hei Fan’, he would definitely try hard, exerting every effort to push trouble away.

Yet this time, he readily gave up the struggle.

Ignoring all the dignified excuses, in Motan’s own view, the sole reason ’he’ decided then was:

[Do I also want to play cool...?]

Motan chuckled bitterly, his expression subtle and complex.

Obviously, to him at present, this phrase is the true reason for hastily agreeing to that match.

Wanting to play cool.

Simply wanting to play cool.

To play cool, he’s even willing to contradict his nature, willing to create things for himself even in already limited time, willing to step under the spotlight he once strongly resisted, willing to endure various gazes despite having a stomachache.
