Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2569: Chapter 1213: Free-for-All Battle: FFF Group East Asia Branch 7th Special Squad Private 2_2

After a long silence, Cholera finally broke the silence with a hoarse voice: "Um, Xingdao, are you still playing?"

"Hmm, let’s go for another round then."

Heavenly Dao, full of fighting spirit, shook his shoulders and joked: "Today seems like a lucky day. Maybe with this momentum, I’ll run into another powerful player on the leaderboard?"

Cholera also laughed: "Then I really wouldn’t know whether to say you’re lucky or unlucky, Xingdao."

"Hahahahaha~"

"Hahahahaha~"

The two looked at each other and laughed, clearly feeling that the quality of this joke was pretty good.

But, you know...

Some things just can’t stand being talked about.

...

The Realm of Innocence, Player Public Space · Arena Zone [Free-for-all Battle Room W250]

Heavenly Dao stared at the short, unsightly, and bewildered hunchbacked figure not far in front of him, deeply frowning.

To be honest, after playing over a hundred free-for-all matches, this was the first time Heavenly Dao had seen such a bizarre skin, simply put, it was too hideous to look at.

However, having just been ’played around’ with, Heavenly Dao didn’t underestimate the opponent. In fact, knowing he likely faced a top player on the leaderboard made Teacher Tian, despite being someone who doesn’t show expressions easily, incredibly excited for the battle.

If that girl just now was truly ’Great Yin-Yang Master Gu Xiaole’, then even if the opponent hadn’t been fighting seriously, maintaining a fight with her for that long would still be a source of pride.

Heavenly Dao took a deep breath, throwing aside unnecessary thoughts and refocusing his attention on the slightly hunched figure carrying a pickaxe in front of him —

"I am known as the Primordial Snake, galloping through Thunder Heaven!"

"Hi, I’m someone very willing to disclose my name but find it inconvenient for certain reasons to do so, from the Seventh Special Forces of the FFF Group East Asia Division..."

The Realm of Innocence, Player Public Space, No.V803 Arena Zone

"Tsk tsk, this is rare. I didn’t expect you, Mo, to want to come play in the Public Space."

Cordova, who came to the Lin Inn to kill time out of extreme boredom and ended up joining Mo Tan when he learned the latter was about to test new weapons in the Public Space, laughed heartily while giving his shoulder a firm pat: "How about we practice a bit?"

Mo Tan turned his head to Cordova with a bitter smile: "Are you sure you call that practice?"

"Come on, as your brother, of course, I’m not going all out on you."

Cordova chuckled excitedly: "How about this, I won’t use a weapon, I’ll let you hit me for two minutes?"

Mo Tan raised an eyebrow: "Then you knock me out with one punch?"

"Cough, cough, how could I do that?"

Obviously, Cordova, having been immediately seen through, was exactly such a person.

"I have limited time, and I just came to the Public Space to test the weapon’s growth potential. I’ll go offline shortly after a quick test."

Lacking the time to remodel his appearance, Mo Tan, who still looked like ’Mor’, smiled. Cordially, he said to Cordova, who was clearly eager to show off: "But if you want to move around a bit, I can watch you play a match. I’ve heard you can run into anybody in the free-for-all mode."

"Sounds good!"

As expected, Cordova was overjoyed and immediately said: "I’ll go play a match now! You can join my battle room directly through the friend options soon!"

Due to having plans with Frank Hughes and Double Leaf, Mo Tan nodded slightly, and in a particularly considerate manner, said: "Then you’d better finish quickly, I’m really short on time here."

"No problem at all!"

Given an excuse for ’bullying the weak’ by Mo Tan, Cordova was thrilled to be able to let loose without worrying about his image, and swiftly took action, disappearing into a white light before Mo Tan’s eyes in just a few seconds.

Having satisfied Cordova’s wish to show off while also saving him as much time as possible, Mo Tan, who achieved a win-win situation, opened the friend list, found [Cordova]’s name, and then—

"Hey! That young man over there!"

A clear and pleasant voice came from not far away. Mo Tan instinctively turned his head and was nearly startled enough to fall backward. That girl running over with small quick steps, with her long beautiful black hair, attractive face, and lively eyes, was none other than Gu Xiaole!

Although he was somewhat surprised, Mo Tan was only surprised. After all, to Gu Xiaole, only the ’Hei Fan’ from Misha County was the friend of her cousin ’Mo Tan’ from outside the game, while ’Mor’ in the game was a complete stranger.

"Uh, hello."

Pausing his operation, Mo Tan nodded at the girl clearly rushing toward him, asking confusedly: "Is there something you need?"

Just coming out of the free-for-all match after admitting defeat, Gu Xiaole didn’t immediately respond but instead circled around Mo Tan several times, scrutinizing him up and down, her puzzlement no less than his.

"Excuse me..."

Feeling uneasy under the scrutiny, Mo Tan took half a step back and asked cautiously: "Do you need something from me?"

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaole straightforwardly asked this, staring intensely at the familiar-looking guy in front of her: "Do you have any impression of me?"

[Oh no!]

Mo Tan’s heart sank immediately, not expecting to be cornered by Sister Xiao Le right away. Knowing full well that ’no’ was indeed the correct answer now, but considering he had...

[Eh!]

As thoughts whirled rapidly, Mo Tan inexplicably relaxed, his previously tense body calming down, as he replied gently and composedly: "No."

This was a lie!

A blatant lie!

A lie beyond salvaging!

Even if Mo Tan wasn’t exceptionally good at remembering, he still wouldn’t forget Sister Le by the big water bottle many years ago, and their recent interactions deeply imprinted on his mind. Not to mention, the day Gu Xiaole casually walked out of her bedroom in pajamas during the net party, draping herself softly over him saying she was off to take a bath, is an incident Mo Tan won’t forget for decades to come.

In one instant, he truly felt that usual gentle and introverted girl’s chill emanating through the screen... making him feel like he’d fallen into an ice cellar!

Therefore, Mo Tan was truly lying without a doubt this time, with no chance of recourse or way out!

But! His inconvenient passive skill [Knight Spirit: Honesty] strangely remained inactive, as if it didn’t exist.

The reason was simple: according to the rules, all talents, skills, as well as the effects of items and equipment, would be sealed in the public space, and one’s physical state would be as in real life.

Recalling this fact out of the blue, Mo Tan was confident enough to deceive Gu Xiaole without worrying about system penalties.

"No impression, huh..."

Gu Xiaole’s tone wasn’t all that surprised, but her gaze remained locked on Mo Tan, softly saying: "But I feel... um... how should I put it... you really catch my attention."

[Hey, hey, Sister Xiao Le, you have so many husbands already, don’t say things that can cause misunderstandings!]

Mo Tan roared inwardly, breaking out into a cold sweat.

Just as he was racking his brain for what to say to deflect Gu Xiaole, a white light suddenly appeared next to him. It was Cordova returning!

Then—

"Xiao Yu?"

"Sister Xiao Le?"
