Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2583: Chapter 1220: Guidance_2

It seemed like he was walking the dog, but in fact, he was being walked by the dog. This Origami blinked: "What danger?"

"I don’t know, but I have a bit of unrest. On one hand, it’s because of what I just said, on the other hand..."

Guxiaole paused slightly here, and after several seconds, he whispered: "The place where you are doesn’t seem very safe. People from the Pamira Free Trade Zone say that a lot of big things have happened recently in this Shaven Empire."

"Big things?"

"I’m not sure of the specifics, but the atmosphere here is certainly strange. The Noble District where you are is almost deserted, which is a good example. There’s always a sense of... an impending storm."

"An impending storm?"

"Nothing, it’s probably just countries at war or something irrelevant to someone like me, so it’s irrelevant to you too."

"Oh oh!"

Origami nodded obediently.

"Why did you stop?"

A second later, noticing that Origami had stopped moving, Guxiaole asked curiously.

"The Dog Demon senior stopped, master."

Origami looked up at the rather large mansion in front of her, lowered her head to let Guxiaole also observe the stationary Inugami, reporting honestly: "The Dog Demon senior’s intention seems to be... the direction guided by the thought is inside this mansion."

"Sin Duke’s Manor... never heard the owner’s name, shouldn’t be a big shot, right?"

After glancing at the crest by the door, Guxiaole tilted his head, then instructed Origami: "Continue to let the Dog Demon help you maintain concealment, sneak in quietly to find the target, and get it done quickly."

"Okay, master!"

...

Five minutes later

"Master, master! It seems to be that house up ahead!"

Origami, sneaking into the mansion with the Dog Demon, crouched nervously by the window, struggling to peer inside while speaking to Guxiaole in her mind: "Though I can’t see if anyone is inside, I can hear talking, so..."

"Ah, I knew it wouldn’t be this easy. Now I can only hope that the people inside can be knocked out by you and the Dog Demon easily."

Guxiaole sighed lightly, pouted and said: "Though the idea of ’maybe it’s some foolish rich noble buying corpses for collection’ is pretty far-fetched, if it’s true, that would be wonderful... Hang on a sec, let me share the hearing with you."

A second later, successfully sharing hearing with Origami, Guxiaole immediately heard a voice inside the house, which wasn’t very familiar, yet sounded like it had been heard somewhere!

Very pleasant to the ear, but also very cold.

"Are you sure it won’t cause problems coming back at this time?"

No answer.

"There is still some time until the end of the exchange meeting, you really shouldn’t be here now."

No answer.

"Li Fo told me earlier that there was a sudden movement from Sky Pillar Mountain, it shouldn’t have nothing to do with you..."

No answer.

"Where have you been during this time?"

No answer.

Guxiaole listened through Origami’s ’body’, feeling more and more familiar with the voice, but no matter what, he couldn’t recall who it was, and the person the girl inside the house was trying to communicate with didn’t seem intent on giving any response.

[Is this a phone call?]

Just when Guxiaole started to have this thought, she finally heard another person’s voice.

A voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation, cold and hollow——

"There’s a guest."

[Run!]

Without hesitation, upon hearing that voice, Guxiaole was instinctively driven to scream internally, and in the next moment, an eerie power severed her connection with Origami and the Dog Demon.

...

At the same time

Shaven Empire, Royal Capital Telon, Sin Duke’s Manor in front of the study

[Oh no!]

The instant the connection with the master was cut, Origami, whose expression changed dramatically, and the equally flustered Dog Demon turned and rushed towards the mansion’s entrance without hesitation!

Then, just as they almost succeeded, a dark red flash suddenly lit up, murderous scarlet light appeared, attacking Origami and the Dog Demon at an indescribable speed.

"Run! Dog Demon senior!"

Though she couldn’t possibly match the Dog Demon in a fight, Origami, with greater spiritual wisdom than the almost paralyzed Dog Demon, reacted first. She decisively pressed her left hand on the Dog Demon’s back and simultaneously activated her ability, transforming her entire left arm back into ’origami’, forming a half-circle umbrella-like shield.

The next instant, the scarlet flash pierced through Origami’s chest, proceeding to shoot towards the Dog Demon unabated.

But that shield formed by Origami’s left arm managed to block for half a second, releasing a thrust upon being pierced, propelling the trembling Dog Demon out of the mansion’s door.

"I’ll pursue."

A graceful figure appeared in front of Origami; it was a dark elf girl with silver hair, blood-red eyes, and a cold aura, donning a gorgeous black evening gown, holding a thin sword with a black halo in her hand, her gaze cold and sharp.

However, just as her murderous eyes focused on Origami’s face, a puzzled expression emerged in them, and then she lightly bit her lip and turned her head aside swiftly.

Immediately after——

"No need."

The man who walked out from inside shook his head slightly, raising a hand to stop the woman who was about to rush out of the mansion to chase the Dog Demon.

It was too late to remember anything. As Origami stiffly moved her gaze away from the vanishing scarlet light at the man’s fingertips and met eyes with him through his mask, she fell irretrievably into darkness.

...

Ten minutes later

Game Time PM22:56

"Wow!"

Origami, regaining consciousness, sprang up suddenly, finding herself back in a room at the [Affectionate Scythe] tavern in the Pamira Free Trade Zone, awakening in her ’true self’s dependence’, a palm-sized exquisite paper person.

"Thank goodness, it’s so great that you could come back..."

Pale-faced, Guxiaole let out a long breath of relief and spoke before Origami could: "The Dog Demon is also fine. It’s already escaped Telon and is on its way back here, quite worried about your situation."

Instinctively changing her form to that of ’Mini Guxiaole’, Origami finally exhaled in relief, slumping onto the table in front of Guxiaole, trembling and curling into a ball: "So scary... Master... so scary..."

Without waiting for Guxiaole to ask, Origami started shivering and explaining everything that happened after the connection was cut, telling everything she knew.

"In the end, that person shot another red light and shot through my head."

Origami shivered as she held her shoulders, muttering: "Luckily it wasn’t my true self, otherwise I’d never see master again."

Guxiaole furrowed her brows, nodding after a long time: "So, even though you were cut off from me, you still managed to release yourself to return here by positioning through your true self’s dependence?"

Origami nodded: "Mm..."

"I see."

Finally regaining a trace of color, Guxiaole smiled gently, extended her index finger to lightly rub Origami’s head, and whispered: "You’ve worked hard, have a good rest. Once the Dog Demon returns, we’ll leave here."

"Eh?"

"Also, pick three from this pile of old coins."

"Pick three?"

"Yeah, just pick any three."

"Okay master! Then... um... this one, this one, and this one!"

"Good job, go rest."

"What about master?"

"I’m going to slip back to my world briefly, I’ll be back shortly..."
