Four Split Personalities

’Myself’ changed, like most people, due to certain people or events. Although the change wasn’t significant, it was still real.

There are many reasons...

Perhaps it’s because even Daylight Black can snap his fingers to cool down the surroundings, while ’I’ can’t.

Perhaps it’s because Richard Ryan, when pestering Yu Chen, clearly didn’t take me seriously.

Perhaps it’s because the excellence and tact of Phyllis Graham were astonishing.

Perhaps it’s because Yizou Jerrett silently stepped into the Epic Threshold.

Perhaps it’s because of ’my own’ ’high spirits’ during the martial arts competition.

In short, at that time, the desire to ’show off’ outweighed countless reasons and excuses.

’Hei Fan’ would deceive me, but ’Mor’ wouldn’t, so his judgment was—be it the troublesome Foster, the low-key Scaler, or the expectations of the sect, none were the fundamental reasons; I just wanted to show off.

...

[Ha, although change isn’t a bad thing, accepting the Warfire League’s invitation is reasonable, but this starting point... is completely contrary to the result ’I’ was hoping for.]

Motan shook his head, slowly stood up, and looked out the window with a gaze full of bitterness.

From a young age, under any personality, Motan had this consensus: ’I am not suited to be anyone’s partner or lover’.

Under this premise, the ’Orderly Good’ personality of Motan diligently maintained a healthy and decent distance from every girl; under the ’Chaotic Neutral’ personality, Motan at most deceived young women’s emotions or young men’s money online until the unrestrained dive into The Realm of Innocence, but always passed through even the densest of flowers without a single leaf touching him.

And under the ’Absolute Neutrality’ personality, Motan maintained the same mindset. Even if he occasionally met a girl who caught his eye, it would eventually end due to his mental illness (see Chapter 157 for details).

However, the appearance of a certain girl gradually overturned this point.

Even the other two personalities felt nothing and remained indifferent towards that girl, but at least when the personality was ’Absolute Neutrality’, Motan eventually fell for it.

To be fair, he had already made a rational enough judgment that having no result with the other person would be the best result, and even months ago, he manfully drew a line during a not-quite-a-date date, but still couldn’t achieve the ideal level.

In fact, he did poorly.

He always found various reasons to excuse himself, always unconsciously approached when he knew he should stay away, always clumsily covered his intentions, though he could have done it ingeniously.

This time, he even wanted to show off, and the reason naturally was, and could only be because of that person.

"Ah..."

Motan groaned while holding his forehead, shook his head hard, his expression very much struggling.

As a third of the involved parties now, he could 100% understand the above-mentioned matters, but now, he was also the one who couldn’t agree with it the most.

"Knowing one’s own warmth or cold... This phrase now sounds like an insult."

Gently rubbing his faintly aching temple, Motan sighed heavily to the sky: "What is love that the world asks..."

"...So compelling that it leaves no room for retreat?"

A girl with hair as black as a waterfall pushed open the door slightly, shook the pair of snow-white Double Leafs behind her, smiled at her friend, who despite having developed a certain degree of resistance, still froze at her absolute beauty and took a full two and a half seconds to recover: "Yo!"

"Uh... Yo!"

Motan, a bit bewildered, looked at the girl standing in front of him who only forgot to knock when coming to his room, instinctively raised his hand to greet her before exclaiming in surprise: "Night Song, weren’t you with the two masters of Craftsman Town discussing that All-Metal Frenzy Five-Year Plan or something? Why are you back?"

"The things they talked about were too professional, I’m not up to the level."

Ji Xiaoge shrugged, clapped her hands cheerfully: "So, I decided to slack off back here!"

Motan nodded, suddenly realizing that today was probably not going to be as ’idle’ as he originally thought.

"Speaking of which, I heard you sighing from the doorway, saying what, ’What is love’, huh?"

The girl covered her mouth and laughed lightly, winking playfully at Motan: "What’s up, feeling lovesick? Regretting turning down Liya Delin’s date invitation?"

"Cough, no, no, actually I... uh!"

Having initially planned to say, "Actually, a friend of mine," Motan abruptly stopped, swallowed back the half-sentence with a rigid expression.

The reason was simple, he felt that if he ever said it like this, the passive named [Knight Spirit-Honesty] would hit him hard, leading to a series of disastrous consequences.

To be totally honest, even if the system generously interpreted Motan’s relationship with himself as ’friends’, as soon as Ji Xiaoge asked, "Is the friend you mentioned yourself?", that would be the end of it.

It’s undeniable that after obtaining such a jinxed passive skill, the current personality of Motan no longer considers ’honesty’ as a precious quality.

He was almost driven mad by the word ’honesty’!

"Actually, what’s up with you?"

Completely unaware of what was bothering him, Ji Xiaoge flapped excitingly over, happily landing in front of Motan and asking enthusiastically: "Relationship issues? Relationship issues!?"

Clearly, after hearing that emotionally charged sigh containing a thousand unspoken words, this girl was a bit fired up, or rather, the gossip soul hidden in her heart was ignited!

"Cough, just some complicated thoughts."

Motan tugged at the corner of his mouth, very reluctantly making an excuse: "But this thing has nothing to do with me, the person standing in front of you now!"

"Oh..."

Ji Xiaoge pouted, slightly disappointed, lowering her head. After all, she was a sensible girl who received good family education (which did not include cooking skills), so after Motan clearly hinted that ’this matter isn’t suitable for further inquiry’, she didn’t probe further, but thoughtfully changed the topic: "So, do you feel sorry for turning down Liya’s date?"

[You’re not considerate at all!]

Motan inwardly screamed as he immediately shook his head seriously: "Absolutely not! Besides, she wasn’t trying to date me, just happened to have two tickets for the seventh-year performance at the Michael School of Dance."

"Is that~ so~?"

Ji Xiaoge squinted mischievously, her beautiful eyes swirling leisurely: "Then why does Scarlett tell me a different version of the story? Haha, want to know?"

"Don’t want to."

Motan, without hesitation, expressed no interest and somewhat helplessly reminded: "Don’t forget Liya Delin is an NPC."

Ji Xiaoge raised an eyebrow, chuckling as she pressed: "So it’s okay if it’s a player instead then?"

Motan’s mouth twitched as he dryly replied: "No, I have no plans to date currently, and if nothing goes wrong, I won’t in the future either."

"Boring! Lame! Hypocrite!"

Ji Xiaoge stomped her foot, letting out an "Oh ya!" sound and playfully pounding at Motan’s chest with her little fist, which surprisingly hurt a bit. She immediately complained discontentedly: "And you’re not even lying!"

Sweat had already begun oozing from Motan’s temple as he chuckled dryly: "Let’s change the subject, shall we?"

"Sure, are you free later?"

"For what?"

"To go on a date with me."

"Might be unavailable."

"You...!"

"Don’t tease me."

"Tch, Dabus and Anthony happen to be free today, want to check them out together?"

"Eh?"

"Still not free?"

"Oh, oh, this could work."

"You’re a bit infuriating!"
