Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2596: Chapter 1227: Deadly Game · Continuation (III) – The Path to Survival

"Ah... Ahhhhh!!!"

Accompanied by a vague, unclear growl, a gigantic maw suddenly appeared in front of Motan. It was entirely dark purple, with two rows of gruesome, slimy, gigantic fangs, resembling something like a ’cannibal flower’. This eerie and twisted plant seemed to have extended from Mei Fu’s arm, swaying menacingly less than two centimeters from Motan.

The latter had no doubt that if this beautiful yet mentally disturbed Tree Elf woman in front of him wished, she could bite off his nose with this thing in the next second, or maybe even his whole face.

However, Haru Kuttata, who had weathered countless storms and suffered torment beyond measure, remained unfazed. In fact, he didn’t even blink an eye; he merely smiled as usual at the woman still curled up in the middle of the bed and said, "What’s this? A threat? Or is it a farewell?"

The woman named Mei Fu trembled slightly, lifted her murky eyes for a glance at Motan, then continued to lower her head, gnawing on her bloody nails.

"We are not acquainted, Miss Mei Fu. The reason I appear here is entirely because you not only have a crucial role in the upcoming plan, but also because you are a very important figure."

Motan leaned down, grasping Mei Fu’s chin as if it wasn’t his own shoulder being fiercely bitten by the cannibal flower, and with a grim smile, turned her face toward him, speaking word by word, "But please remember, we are merely common collaborators. Whether it’s me or the other individual, we are not your babysitter. If you fall behind, then I will promptly... heh... I won’t kill you. I will just quietly leave and proceed with our plan, and after that..."

He moved closer to Mei Fu’s cheek, gently blowing a breath to her earlobe, and said softly, "You are sure to have more sensual, romantic, and unforgettable memories."

"Shut... shut up! Dirty lizard!"

In a hoarse and sharp voice, Mei Fu spat out, lifting her small hand to deliver a crisp and heavy slap to Motan, then started laughing idiotically, "Haha, hahaha, you are dreaming! You are all dreaming! Without me, there’s no way you can escape this ghost place, you are destined to fail and will be drained of the last drop of blood in this arena, fertilizer, manure, and maggots are your only fate!"

"No, I’m not dreaming, because I know you’ll be leaving with us. In fact, you’ve been waiting impatiently, madam."

Motan changed from his previously rough attitude to step back politely, smiling as he said, "Good to see you have regained your spirit."

"I just want to be alone for a while, you rotten lizard, and I don’t want to... um!"

Halfway through her sentence, Mei Fu suddenly bit towards her nail again, as if intending to swallow her finger attached to it directly.

Bloody...

Motan watched this scene indifferently, raising his eyebrows until Mei Fu started to suck on her finger, fully immersed, then frowned and said, "What is it you don’t want? Have an index finger?"

"Shut up! Get out! Love you! Stay away! Don’t leave! Just die!"

Mumbling meaningless words, Mei Fu trembled nervously for a while, then timidly tugged at the dirty corner of Motan’s clothing, whispered, "Take me away... please, take me away... hurry..."

With a gentle smile, Haru Kuttata softly took Mei Fu’s slender wrist, "Alright, let’s go."

Then he forcibly took the still somewhat hesitant Mei Fu out of the room, which was quite nice in both environment and atmosphere.

At the same time, the savage and wild-looking cannibal flower released its fangs, silently retracting and transforming into a plain Seed.

[So you see, I really hate dealing with madmen~]

Humming a cheerful little tune in his mind, Motan pulled Mei Fu out of her ’chamber’, keeping a stern face.

He didn’t see this woman as a pure, unpolluted madman; despite her inexplicable behavior, considering her comely appearance and the room behind her, it wasn’t a difficult story for Motan to fathom.

Through the sparse records of Mei Fu by Haru Kuttata, Motan knew she was a priest affiliated with the Holy Church Union, a believer of the Fertility Goddess. Only she could hide all ’co-conspirators’’ life signatures after shaking off [Black Anna]’s torment, aiding everyone in evading the initial and most stringent guard.

As for her presence here, though Haru had not mentioned it, Motan could still guess that this priest was likely captured in the war between the Holy Church Union and the Northern Blood Barbarian.

It was clear that she wasn’t the kind of clergy who could easily forsake life for honor and faith; despite possessing decent strength, Mei Fu still had a strong attachment to life, otherwise, she could have initiated a Crossing Rank divine arts by sacrificing herself, which, even if it didn’t stir much, would still grant her ’release’ the quickest way.
