Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2568: Chapter 1213: Indiscriminate Battle · FFF Group East Asia Division 7th Special Forces Team Private Second Class

Xingdao mulled over for quite some time, and after confirming various details with Cholera, who had been watching the entire match, he finally concluded that if nothing unexpected occurred, he had likely been fooled...

Here’s how it went down: After the successful match, Xingdao and that girl named ’Little Le Little Le Unstoppable’ were both teleported into a randomly generated desert map by the system.

From Xingdao’s perspective, the two of them greeted each other, set up their stances, and began the fight.

However, in the "God’s Eye View" of Cholera, it was a completely different story.

First, that girl somehow pulled out a snow-white Five-Boned Bat Fan, chuckling as she gently stroked the central bone with her slender forefinger, and at the same time, flung out a paper doll from her sleeve.

Then, that intricately made paper doll, caught by the wind, rapidly expanded to the size of a normal human, standing solemnly in front of Xingdao.

Next, the young girl turned around and left leisurely, while the human-sized paper doll drew a paper knife from its body and began to fight Xingdao.

From there, the development of the battle was almost exactly as Xingdao perceived it, except for one point: the beautiful girl in his eyes actually didn’t exist, nor had she ever interacted with him verbally. At least in Cholera’s view, it was just his friend Xingdao reciting those cool lines while passionately clashing blades with a somewhat creepy real paper doll.

As for the girl who left early, as Cholera had previously told Xingdao, she played in the sand quite a distance away for a considerable amount of time, and after completing a rather impressive sandcastle, she just disappeared.

At that time, it was precisely when the ’Little Le Little Le Unstoppable’ girl in Xingdao’s eyes had bowed to him and decisively conceded defeat.

"This is truly..."

After a long silence, Xingdao adjusted his glasses with a finger and shook his head with a wry smile: "I was completely played."

Cholera, who had always believed that Xingdao was an undeniably skilled player and had immense confidence in him, swallowed with difficulty and said in a low voice, "So, Brother Xingdao, you..."

"Definitely lost, yes."

Xingdao shrugged, eyes gleaming with contemplation, seemingly unfazed: "If I’ve been fighting for so long and didn’t even see the opponent themselves, what else could that be but a loss?"

Cholera, somewhat unwilling to accept, said, "You can’t put it that way. What if that girl’s main combat method is that paper doll, and if you managed to damage it, she wouldn’t be able to win if she fought you directly. Summoner-type players are usually like that."

"That’s true as well..."

Xingdao didn’t outright dismiss Cholera’s guess; he squinted and calmly said, "But after hearing what you said, I feel that she was actually at ease throughout. Think about it; if she could make me believe that the paper doll in front of me was her and simultaneously focus on building a sandcastle, something requiring concentration, wouldn’t it be easy for her to ambush me while I was busy fighting the paper doll?"

Cholera thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded, "It does seem reasonable."

"Even if her combat ability was inferior to the paper doll, and she couldn’t carry heavy weapons due to attribute constraints, however..."

Xingdao, someone who clearly did his forum homework, pinched the bridge of his nose and said solemnly, "In that situation just now, if she quietly crept up behind me and seized the opportunity to shoot me with the simplest firearm, the battle would have ended."

Cholera smacked his lips, shaking his head in admiration, "Yeah, this time we indeed ran into a tough opponent."

"Not only that."

Xingdao’s eyes narrowed slightly, hesitating, "Actually, I have another guess..."

Cholera was puzzled, "What?"

"The girl’s name, it was ’Little Le Little Le Unstoppable’, right?"

Xingdao suddenly said something seemingly unrelated to the match and quickly continued before Cholera could express doubt, "And she... or rather, her paper doll introduced itself as ’The Great Onmyoji Le Le-chan who doesn’t want to reveal her name’."

Cholera blinked twice, curiously asking, "The Great Onmyoji? Le Le-chan? And then... wait a minute!"

Halfway through speaking, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he sharply looked up at the virtual projection of the personal rankings that refreshed at regular intervals.

Ignoring the names randomly displayed from 21-200 below that point, Cholera’s gaze was locked at the central part of the leaderboard’s front page, and he spoke with a dry voice, "Bro-Brother Xingdao, you’re not suggesting... that the one using the paper doll to fight you was..."

"Heh, although I’m not too sure, based on various bits of information..."

Xingdao took a deep breath, speaking with a complex expression, "If it truly was ’that No. 12’, then it would be no shame in losing that match at all."

On the virtual projection, the name that Xingdao and Cholera, these two quick-thinking individuals, were eyeing, was—[No.12: Great Yin-Yang Master Gu Xiaole - Chaotic Neutral - Yin Yang Grand Master]
