Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2132: Chapter 1001: Lovers (I)

[Frank Hughes≠Tan Mo/BLACK]

Instinctively, whether it was the fundamental theory of mental virtual games or the various states of players in The Realm of Innocence, Double Leaf immediately reached this conclusion with a sufficiently high understanding.

And the instant the presumption was completed, she became alert nearly in the next millisecond, an alertness with no reliance, no basis, and if she had to give a reason, it was...

[Too logical.]

Double Leaf glanced at Frank on the bed, her slender fingers lightly gliding over the pages, trying to explain her baseless suspicion.

To completely portray oneself as another person, this is absolutely not difficult for BLACK...or rather, Tan Mo in this game. After all, as a player of the same rank, Double Leaf can easily change her style into another form, so personality alone is entirely insufficient to prove that the man on the bed is not Tan Mo.

In terms of appearance, in a game world with the theme of sword and magic, there are really too many ways to change one’s appearance. Although the girl can nearly confirm that Mr. Frank Hughes hasn’t used any magical means to alter his appearance, this only eliminates the ’magic’ option. She had already witnessed people who could freely change their appearance and body without leaving any traces in the Violet Empire.

As for player identity, since Diana stayed by Frank’s side until he was placed on the bed and the barrier was set, Double Leaf had no way to test anything during this process. Judging by the various performances after breaking the barrier which Frank himself broke, this guy claiming to be Frank Hughes is indeed an NPC...

[But all of this happened so smoothly, just after Consciousness Recovery you directly hand me ironclad proof that ’I’m not a player’, this situation itself is very suspicious.]

Double Leaf rubbed her forehead, her eyes squinting slightly, hesitating for a moment.

Clearly, instead of confirming whether Diana’s boyfriend is a scumbag, Double Leaf is more concerned about whether the man on the bed is her ’archenemy’. If he is not, then his character is irrelevant, and whether he deserves to be killed at the cost of hurting Diana is of little significance; it depends on her mood.

But conversely, if this Frank Hughes is ’Tan Mo’...

Then Tan Mo, who knew in advance about her relationship with Diana, contacted her months earlier and lured her into a love affair, and even calculated her visit to Academy City during the exchange period, has undoubtedly set up a series of highly completed, murderous traps waiting for her!

Under this premise, let alone Double Leaf being unable to guess what the traps specifically are, even if she could discern some clues, she would likely fall into the hands of this man, who, like her, always loves to leave countless backup plans.

Assuming that Academy City has been turned into Tan Mo’s main arena, if he is determined, not only might Double Leaf, who is long ranked at the top of the player’s personal strength list, be endangered, but even Cordova, who is always ranked second on the list, might not escape death.

After all, Double Leaf had already witnessed how Tan Mo forced that big name into Self-Destruct, and not to mention that Tan Mo likely completed the kill on a whim, even if it was a premeditated murder, it would still prove a lot.

So, from Double Leaf’s perspective, if the hypothesis [Frank Hughes=Tan Mo] stands, then she, with a paper advantage in absolute strength, is now in a state of extreme danger, where any slight mistake could lead to irreversible doom!

In that wager, which was by no means a joke, the so-called ’irreversible doom’ is not only referred to the game version of ’Double Leaf’, but also in reality, the genius otaku named Mu You might be in trouble!

If she failed, unless BLACK suddenly had a split personality and a conscientious outbreak letting her go, otherwise within five minutes of her true name being exposed, she would likely be behind bars for numerous heinous violations of internet safety laws, and there’s no washing that off.

Should she start preparing for the contingency plan established under the case of ’identity exposure’ from now...

This thought flashed in Double Leaf’s mind for half a second, then she forcibly tossed it to the back of her mind. It wasn’t that there is a problem with feasibility. In fact, if Double Leaf truly prepared in advance, even if she lost the wager in the end, with the assistance of AI NAVI, she would have over a seventy percent chance of not being caught by the opponent, and even if she was caught, the success rate of escape would be considerably high.

However—no!

Despite the fact that her lower limit is definitely comparable to Motan under ’Chaotic Neutral’ personality, Double Leaf is similar to the latter in some aspects; like their previous ’bet’, for them, it’s a highly thrilling and enjoyable game, and if she unilaterally lowered the difficulty, its interest would be greatly diminished. Not only that, but without experiencing that thrill, one might even show flaws that wouldn’t normally appear, something Double Leaf absolutely cannot accept.
