Four Split Personalities

Chapter 127: Chapter 52: Speculation and Questions_1

By now, it was night within the boundary of the Sinless World. The slightly humid air carried a hint of chilliness, and the occasional low hum of unknown insects that only stirred at night lingered in the quiet forest for a long time.

The moonlight was somewhat cold...

Motan’s expression mirrored the coldness. His personality and mood had undergone a transformation, leading him to consider matters in a fundamentally different way than before. Issues that he had previously been concerned about under his Lawful Good persona, such as the safety of Kole and little Ai, were all cast aside in an instant.

At this moment, there was only one thing Motan needed to consider: the instant disconnect when he was just about to log into the game today, and the subsequent nearly five-hour (in-game) blank period.

"I was in a ’Lawful Good’ state when I was about to log into the game," said Motan, irresponsibly appropriating the alignment grid model to distinguish between his various personalities. He speculated, "Then, as I was logging in, the connection was suddenly severed. When I came to, roughly five hours had passed, equivalent to two and a half actual hours..."

While contemplating, Motan didn’t neglect his tasks at hand, swiftly changing his gear as he sorted out his baggage. He had obtained quite a few spoils from the Heretical Church’s stronghold in Pato City previously; what he had equipped before logging out last time wasn’t all of it.

There were still many choices that needed to be made after comparison with his current circumstances...

"Although none of the disconnects exceeded three hours, each was of a different duration," Motan muttered to himself as he put on a pair of high boots and started to poison a short, dark-blue dagger, "I can’t rule out the occurrence of even longer blank periods in the future..."

After sheathing the dagger in his belt, he picked up the Hundred Forms Mask, which had finished cooling down, and started to shape his face.

[I’m almost certain that there’s another personality of mine in this game that I’m not aware of, and it’s very likely that this personality has set up a character, but I don’t have any other information...]

After he put the mask onto his face, making him appear like a somewhat pale-skinned human male, Motan put on the white robe he had purchased in the city earlier.

[What an interesting detective game~]

A playful smile returned to his face. Strolling out from the forest onto a small path, Motan wore a very satisfied and relaxed expression, even humming a tune.

He had adjusted his mood, putting aside all worries. After all, only fools would fret over problems they couldn’t solve in the short term, such behavior, other than to add to one’s distress, would be pointless.

Perhaps under the influence of his other two personalities, he might exhibit some foolishness, but there was no chance for such a thing to happen now.

Even though the current Motan was the most concerned about the ’blank periods’, he wasn’t willing to waste any effort in vain.

Problems that could be dealt with shouldn’t cause any worry, as all you needed to do was to handle them.

Issues that couldn’t be resolved were also not worth worrying about since fretting over them wouldn’t do any good.

This wasn’t an attitude of giving up or letting nature take its course. In fact, it was the exact opposite...

[I will find you. Maybe not now, but that’s okay... The game has just begun~]

The young man on the quaint road looked positively inebriated, swaying as he walked...

But he always thought he was the most clear-sighted person.

PS: To avoid taking up too much space, more important equipment will be introduced separately in the future, or they will be introduced immediately upon obtaining them, like the Hundred Forms Mask.

In short, this is Tan Mo’s current attributes and equipment status. From this, it can be seen that his strength has increased quite significantly in a short time. Although due to online time and other factors he wasn’t considered a top-tier player, anyone who could obtain a truly epic piece of special equipment like ’Hundred Forms’ right from the start would be few in number, so overall, he was doing pretty well~

By the way, this character has the highest lock picking level among the players, unsurpassed by any.

As he was walking in the direction of Kalan City, Motan was reading his friend’s messages. It was, of course, needless to say who the sender was... After all, he only has Double Leaf as a friend for this character.

"Whining, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, probing, nonsense, probing, whining..." said Motan as he browsed the long list of messages, shaking his head and sighing, "Does this guy have anything meaningful to say at all?"
