Four Split Personalities

"Ah, teacher, please wait a moment!"

Just then, Ji Xiaoge suddenly spoke up to stop Director Pang, her eyes blazing as she fixed them on him: "I have a question!"

"Uh..."

The old man was startled for a moment, looking at Ji Xiaoge’s face that always reminded him of another student, he awkwardly averted his gaze: "What’s the matter?"

Motan attempted to give Ji Xiaodao a warning glance, but even though the latter received his ’signal’, she still remained indifferent.

As expected...

"Well, I want to know..."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips and shyly asked, "The one you mentioned earlier... the one you mistook me for... is she called Mo Yage? Who is she?"

Director Pang’s chubby face froze.

"Teacher?"

Ji Xiaoge gazed intensely at Director Pang, her small fists clenched somewhat tightly.

Clearly, this girl was not as carefree as Motan imagined.

"Ah... this... Mo Yage..."

Director Pang murmured softly, his tone inexplicably becoming somewhat strained: "She... is also one of the kids in my class, a good child."

Ji Xiaoge nodded vigorously and continued to ask: "Does she look a lot like me?"

"This..."

Director Pang turned his head away, somewhat lacking in confidence as he said: "Probably... actually not..."

"Enough, Teacher Pang."

At that moment, a graceful figure suddenly appeared behind Pang, it was none other than Yao Qianhan, dressed in casual summer wear, the largest shareholder and trustee of Tanhua University, who once studied at this school with Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao’s father, both in Director Pang’s class.

"Aunt Yao?!"

Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao exclaimed in surprise simultaneously, clearly knowing Yao Qianhan.

"Qianhan?"

Director Pang took a nervous glance at this former student, his expression slightly tense.

Meanwhile, Motan, who was nodding cautiously, felt extremely curious about Yao Qianhan’s abrupt appearance, knowing that a few seconds ago there were only the four of them there.

"Teacher."

The trustee lady smiled politely at Director Pang, then shook her head somewhat helplessly and whispered, "I’m really sorry..."

The next second, a card suddenly appeared in her hand, a card approximately the size of a playing card, entirely snow white, printed with a big black question mark, steadily lifted before the old man.

In less than a breath’s time, Director Pang’s expression relaxed, his gaze became a bit unfocused. He confusedly touched his sparse short hair, not even glancing at the few people before he slowly turned around and left.

"Aunt Yao? What is that?"

Ji Xiaoge tilted her head, curiously looking at Yao Qianhan, whose expression appeared somewhat guilty.

Having sensed something, Ji Xiaodao, along with Motan, who had seen this thing once at the old power plant, instinctively stepped back half a step.

"A common card."

Yao Qianhan shook her head and then replicated the same action, flashing it briefly in front of Ji Xiaoge’s eyes, causing the latter to immediately fall into a daze.

Thereafter, whether it was Ji Xiaodao rushing anxiously to her sister or Motan standing dazedly on the spot, they all received the same treatment.

Seeing this, presumably everyone has already guessed it, yes, Yao Qianhan, who suddenly appeared, manipulated the memories of Pang, Ji Xiaoge, Ji Xiaodao, and Motan.

Unlike Motan, whose three-minute memory was erased at the old power plant, Yao Qianhan, more meticulous than ’Nifeng’, chose to modify and adjust the memories of the three rather than the relatively violent erasure.

Indeed, with her ability, even directly erasing memories wouldn’t cause harm to the four, but due to the particularly special nature of Ji Xiaoge and Ji Xiaodao, Yao Qianhan worried that the two might accidentally recover the real memories, hence she employed the method of ’alteration’, almost impossible to crack. As for Pang and Motan, they were just incidental.

There wasn’t much left to say about what happened next, the minds of the four, having been tampered with, forgot most of the earlier conversation. In their memories, Motan and the Ji sisters merely encountered Director Pang at the experiment building entrance, briefly got acquainted, chatted a bit and then parted ways.

However, as we guessed, despite Motan having truly had his memories altered at the time, without even leaving himself a reminder, when he returned home and his persona shifted from ’Absolute Neutrality’ to ’Orderly Good’, those obscured memories suddenly flooded back into his mind, returning to his thoughts.

Thus, Motan acquired two sets of memories.

The first one being his encounter with the Ji sisters and Director Pang, chatting casually and then separating.

The other, the memories before Yao Qianhan’s alteration, vividly recalling both Director Pang’s conversation with Ji Xiaoge and the event of Yao Qianhan suddenly appearing and using the small card to activate superpowers.

Without almost any hesitation, Motan immediately buried the matter deep within his heart, pretending it hadn’t happened, as if the memory had indeed been altered.

Until today—

...

"Do you intend to keep hiding this?"

Yao Qianhan examined Motan with great interest, laughing lightly: "If you keep silent, I’ll take it as your consent."

Finally, after a long silence, Motan shook his head with a bitter smile, not directly answering Yao Qianhan’s question, merely murmuring as if lamenting: "What on earth is going on?"

Yao Qianhan laughed silently, shrugged: "Do you think I’ll provide an explanation?"

"Probably not."

Motan rubbed his forehead, eyes filled with confusion: "I always thought it was a dream... or an illusion, something unreal, but looking at it now..."

"You’d better regard it as real, if after leaving here you can recall those random things again."

Yao Qianhan idly played with a card that had appeared in her hand at some point, speaking softly: "That would be best."

Motan nodded gently, only asking after a while: "How... did you discover it?"

"When you saw me in the hallway just now, the astonishment in your eyes was too obvious."

Yao Qianhan raised her eyebrows, smiled at the visibly tense Motan: "So I checked just now... hmm, the result was quite surprising."

Motan’s expression twisted, features almost squeezed together, voice sounding somewhat hoarse: "Sorry, I’m a bit... unable to turn around now..."

"You don’t need to turn around, you just need to know, there indeed exist things in this world that are hard for ordinary people to understand, and so-called metaphysics does exist too, although I don’t deny most ’metaphysics’ is nonsense, like stepping on a manhole cover would bring bad luck."

Yao Qianhan didn’t seem impatient, in fact, her expression was very calm: "Now, let’s return to the previous topic."

"What topic?"

Motan first looked confused, then suddenly realized: "You mean, Yi Dong was sent to..."

"The orphanage, yes."

Yao Qianhan nodded, replied succinctly: "Yi Nan and Yan Yue certainly wouldn’t send their own son to the orphanage to experience life for no reason. To put it this way, after making this decision, no one was more grieved than the two of them, but... there’s no choice."

"No choice?"

Motan deeply furrowed his eyebrows, his expression slightly darkened: "Why is there no choice?"

"Letting Xiao Yidong grow up with them would be dangerous."

"Who would be in danger?"

"Yidong."

"What danger?"

"Uncertain, but the worst possibility would be an untimely death, dying young."

"What is the basis for this?"

"Some rules never appearing in your worldview."

"Absurd."

"What happened during our last meeting, wasn’t that absurd?"

"..."

"That’s all I can tell you, Motan classmate."

"Why are you telling me? You shouldn’t want me to keep these memories, right?"

"Indeed, but once someone learns of something, even if they forget it, their mindset will unconsciously change. Honestly, I don’t want you to harbor resentment towards Yi Nan and Yan Yue, they both cherish you dearly."

"I don’t harbor resentment towards them, I just..."

"That’s enough, Motan classmate, come, look here."
