Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2597: Chapter 1227: Deadly Game·Acceptance (III) – The Road to Survival_2

It’s a pity that Mei Fu, who now stands here intact, did not choose to escape. Compared to that purgatory-like torment, she seems to cherish her life more.

That’s right, for a young, beautiful, and quite charming woman like her, there’s only one kind of torment she would face after being captured.

She guarded her life, but at the same time, she lost something.

As to whether it’s worth it, even for Mei Fu herself, it’s still an unresolved issue.

If she thought it wasn’t worth it, she probably would’ve died a long time ago in any way she could manage.

And Mei Fu’s mental state at this moment also makes it difficult to determine whether she truly believes she made the right choice.

Looking at her current state, even if Mei Fu historically succeeded in leaving this place, she may never find the answer for the rest of her life.

However, Motan was not interested in this woman’s story; the reason he bothered to think about it was simply to figure out if the woman trembling behind him was the same foul woman who entered the story with him and could very likely be part of the same story.

This possibility is not low, given that, according to the information left by Haru Kuttata himself, the member of the Sea Tribe with only a numerical code [Fourteen] is undoubtedly the ’leader’ of this escape, and although Haru Kuttata and Fertility Priest Mei Fu are also among the leaders, their status is clearly inferior to the former.

So, if the Tower Spirit wanted to provide a relatively fair environment for both, then Haru and Mei Fu, one man and one woman, would be most suitable.

Motan is not omnipotent; although he always appears to be at ease in his current persona, this does not mean he is all-knowing and all-powerful.

Extremely fast thinking speed, relatively rich knowledge reserves, extraordinary judgment ability, excellent adaptability, exquisite acting skills, and a ruthless approach to things, these are the mainstays of Motan in his current persona.

As fate would have it, Double Leaf possesses the same set of traits, and as far as Motan knows, the latter’s ’acting skills’ are also quite convincing.

In other words, playing a crazy beautiful woman would be no difficulty for Double Leaf.

However, at this moment, Motan couldn’t make any tests, even if he wasn’t really Haru Kuttata, but ’Frank Hughes.’

The reason is simple: Double Leaf’s performance in front of ’Frank Hughes’ was quite real. Yes, it was real, though not his true nature, but it still did not go beyond the acting of this character setting.

In other words, Frank doesn’t know how well Double Leaf can pretend; even if he initially suspected the female Mei Fu might be Double Leaf, once Mei Fu showed her crazy side, this suspicion would definitely be greatly dispelled.

[Tsk, this is really troublesome...]

Motan sighed inwardly, then casually opened his friend messages and sent Double Leaf a series of ’friendly’ ’greetings,’ during which he gently squeezed Mei Fu’s wrist and whispered comforting words: "Calm down, lady, our plan is very discreet, and as long as you do what you’re supposed to do, you’ll soon have your freedom."

This kind of operation of chatting, walking, and talking simultaneously is very difficult for an ordinary player, with a difficulty level absolutely no less than drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other while frantically pressing the space bar with your chin to play ’Rhythm Master,’ but after long-term practice, Motan finally mastered it.

Although in most cases it’s not of any use, it can still have an extraordinary effect when the timing is right.

For instance, for clearing any suspicions.

After all, even if Motan could perfectly hide until the end, after this story concludes, Frank Hughes will undoubtedly reveal that he was playing Haru Kuttata, and by then, this detail means nothing more than a redundant act but could still prove useful.

Of course, it might not prove to be useful, but at least it won’t deduct points.

Neither the Tower Spirit’s script nor the system’s tasks are their main focus; the true core will always be the deadly game between them before the winner is determined.

In the next instant, Mei Fu suddenly stopped in her tracks, mumbling incoherently while she continued biting her fingernails.

But ’Double Leaf’s’ response did not show up.

If Mei Fu was indeed Double Leaf, then this kind of ambiguous reaction could definitely be called textbook retreat in order to advance, and it even took into account the script they were both in.

[Bitch.]

Cursing silently at heart, Haru Kuttata himself wore a sulking expression, continuing to engage in ideological work with Mei Fu impatiently...

Just like that, after about twenty minutes, Motan, Mei Fu, and Haru Kuttata’s three companions finally reached the designated location, in front of a wooden door leading to a lower level.

"Take this."

Following Haru’s procedure, Motan took out a light pink potion of about fifty milliliters from the hidden compartment of his boot and handed it to the orc minion, speaking in a deep voice: "Uncork it deep inside."

The latter immediately nodded with a bow, carefully secured the potion, opened the wooden door, and quickly went downstairs.

"Danger... fear... afraid... protect Mei Fu..."

The former Female Priest hugged her shoulders tightly, muttering in a low voice, then suddenly grabbed Haru’s face with such force that she nearly peeled off the scales on Motan’s face, screaming, "Protect Mei Fu! Protect Mei Fu!"

"Of course."

Motan nodded slightly, gently prying Mei Fu’s hand away, raised his arm to wipe off the fresh blood newly scratched on his cheek, and said in a mild tone: "I will protect you, Lady Mei Fu, if you promise not to cause any trouble, I am willing to become your Guardian Knight after we get out."

Clearly, this was not a particularly bad joke.

Mei Fu, instead, was taken aback, then while licking the blood from Haru Kuttata off her fingers, mumbled, "Guardian Knight... no... Mei Fu has no Guardian Knight... Mei Fu will not have a Guardian Knight... no one is willing to protect filthy Mei Fu... no one..."

"Is that so, what a pity."

Motan did not continue to dwell on this topic, he just lightly replied, then patiently waited for a while, glancing at the two accompanying men in guard uniforms, gesturing to the place where the orc man had gone down to earlier.

The two immediately understood, quickly went down, and returned a few minutes later, nodding to Motan in unison.

"Let’s go."

Motan pulled Mei Fu, through the wooden door ahead, striding down with the protection of the two temporary lackeys, they soon saw a large number of heavily armed Guards.

Reassuringly, they were all lying on the ground, snoring one after another.

"Haru Kuttata’s special [Emerald Dream] potion, acts fast, disperses fast~"

Motan casually made a playful remark, then ruthlessly kicked a guard knocked out in front of him, sending him flying nearly three meters away, and even after such rough treatment, the guard miraculously remained in a ’deep sleep.’

"Let’s hurry."

With a light chuckle, Motan said this, and continued to stride forward, only to find that the well-behaved Mei Fu, except for biting her nails, suddenly froze. Immediately he lowered his face and barked softly: "Don’t just stand there, the potion’s effects are limited, we must hurry..."

"Him!"

Mei Fu suddenly raised her hand, pointing towards a towering Highlander Guard not far away, trembling as she said, "He... he..."

Motan frowned: "What’s with him?"

"He..."

"Speak."

"Mei Fu has seen him before... he... loved Mei Fu..."

That’s what the Priestess hiding behind Motan said.

"Oh."

Motan nodded, walked lightly to the Guard that Mei Fu recognized, and kicked the latter’s neck to break it. He then turned back to the Priestess, who had instinctively raised her hand to cover her mouth, and winked—

"Oops, slipped."
