Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2635: Chapter 1246: Deadly Game · Undertaking (Finale) (2)

Double Leaf and Motan both froze, letting out identical exclamations: "Huh?"

"This is the ideal outcome."

The Book Spirit glanced at the two of them, and said blandly, "But this is only the ’ideal outcome’. In that situation back then, you already did your best, at least that’s what I personally think."

Motan, who had been inwardly cursing at missing out on a huge reward, nodded in agreement and smiled, "Actually, I’m quite satisfied with this result."

"Just because you’re satisfied doesn’t mean I’m satisfied."

Double Leaf huffed, squinting her beautiful eyes straight at the Book Spirit, "Seriously, Uncle Book Spirit, do you really think we had the ability to complete that 200-point exam paper? Even if there was only a one percent chance, do you think we really could have taken down the fortified Fourteen and absorbed that pirate crew called [Torture]?"

"I don’t know."

The Book Spirit responded without hesitation, murmuring softly, "You should understand, the reason we have this deal is because I want to see more possibilities, so I can’t answer your question."

"Useless~"

Double Leaf pouted, stretching her rather delicate and shapeless petite body lazily, and said offhandedly, "In that case, hurry up and show your remaining worth by taking us to the seventh level of the Forbidden Book Area..."

"Wait a moment."

Motan suddenly interrupted Double Leaf, turning seriously towards the latter, "Let’s leave it for today."

Double Leaf immediately glared sideways, wrinkling her nose and baring her teeth, "Why?"

"Because it’s already very late... or rather, very early."

Motan shook his head and asked in an unusually serious tone, "If you go to the seventh level of the Forbidden Book Area, you wouldn’t just wander around casually, would you?"

Double Leaf instantly put on an exceedingly cute and adorable smile, "I’m definitely just wandering around!"

"You think I’d believe you?"

"Of course, of course!"

"No, no, I wouldn’t."

"Tch, get lost."

"So..."

Motan shook his head with a hint of helplessness, shrugging his shoulders, "If I really let you go now, I probably wouldn’t be able to drag you out before dawn. Right now, I can still stop you in advance, but if I really let you reach the seventh level, and you see something inspiring... I wouldn’t dare disturb you either."

Double Leaf made a long ’oh’ sound, smiling narrowly, "What, are you afraid I’ll accidentally blow you up?"

"Partly because of that."

Motan chuckled awkwardly, speaking in a dry tone, "Plus, even though I don’t know much about mysticism, I always feel that disturbing you when you’re focused might cause some danger..."

"Annoying."

Double Leaf glared fiercely at Motan, then suddenly stood up and angrily walked towards the door they had come in from, cursing without looking back, "You’d probably have a kid with no ass!"

Motan calmly ignored the girl’s curse, then stood up and bowed to the Tower Spirit, before chasing after Double Leaf and leaving this wondrous space of impressions.

Ten minutes later

Game Time 04:25 AM

In front of the Comprehensive Library in Academy City’s Central District

Double Leaf walked in front with an angry expression, while Frank followed behind with a bitter smile full of helplessness.

Of course, although neither of them spoke, their minds were racing.

Whether it was Double Leaf, with her ’I’m a girl who’s mad and if you dare mess with me I’ll blow you up’ expression, or Motan, whose face was filled with ’I know you’re upset, but I don’t want Diana to worry, so I’m deeply sorry,’ that was the same for both of them.

[Although that Book Spirit didn’t answer, I also think that both Frank and I did our best, but since there’s a 200% completion reward...]

The girl in front squinted her eyes slightly, her gaze becoming focused.

[That means the task is theoretically accomplishable at 200%, no matter how demanding the requirements, there must be a perfect completion route.]

Motan lightly brushed away a strand of hair in front of his eyes, adjusting his glasses.

...

[Compared to ’Sunset Glow’, this time’s ’Path of Survival’ is extremely difficult, with numerous points from start to finish where the slightest mistake would lead to mission failure.]

...

[In the last instance, both I and that deadpan girl had the conditions to achieve perfection. If I hadn’t gone offline for so long, if she had checked related records, and if we had known each other’s identities, we almost certainly could have achieved 200%.]

...

[Following this logic, there should be similar elements in ’Path of Survival’, but the problem is, what exactly did we overlook, and under what conditions could Frank and I successfully defeat Fourteen and usurp power?]

...

[Ha, I see now~]

...

[Why exactly...]

...

[To aim for 200% completion, one of the prerequisites is likely having a sufficient understanding of this story and confirming each other’s identities and status as soon as the instance begins.]

...

[It’s almost impossible, the preparation time given to me and Frank was too short. Inferring that Haru Kuttata is Frank from the basic information is such a huge leap, or is that the blind assumption we’re supposed to make? Is that really reasonable?]

...

[Though it seems unreasonable, shortcuts actually exist. Haha, but this is seriously forcing me into a dead end.]

...

[Is it that there’s no inherent logic, and aiming for full completion is purely based on luck and rapport, or have I missed something crucial...]

...

[Friend messages, it must be friend messages. With sufficient preparation, if that woman and I had been honest and teamed up from the beginning without hiding anything, we could have confirmed each other’s status through friend messages in the shortest time possible. Not only that, plans and processes could also be discussed through friend messages, and complete information synchronicity could be achieved.]

...

[No, I can’t figure it out at all. Frank has performed very well; instead of holding overly high expectations for him, I should hope to do more myself.]

...

[Although ’Frank Hughes’ has done his best, the pairing of ’Double Leaf and Frank’ isn’t at the level of the complete ’Black Sun’. Whether in terms of rapport or intensity, they’re in entirely different leagues. In the previous instance, that woman compromised for me too many times, and the time wasted really added up significantly.]

...

[Could it be that the level Frank Hughes showed isn’t his ’all’? Could he achieve better? Ha... if he truly is ’Black’, then that would explain it...]

...

[Sigh, if things don’t go awry, this woman might start doubting me more and more. Although the situation isn’t at its worst yet, suspicion is still just suspicion, but continuing like this is not a solution either.]

...

[I guess I have to find a way to further probe him, argh, it’s such a headache!]

...

[Can’t help it, for the rest of this period, let’s make ’Frank’ a bit more excellent. Even though I might let some of my true nature slip in the process, I can’t worry about that now—it’s essential to stabilize the situation until the end of the conference.]

...

[No matter what, the situation will change. If he is ’BLACK’, then continuing to play like this will only make it a matter of time before I catch him, but the problem lies in...]

...

[During this time, can I complete the kill and take her down!]

...

The silvery gauze-like thin clouds gently veiled the moonlight with a filter, and in the warm evening wind, the two stopped in their tracks simultaneously.

"I’m not mad anymore~"

"That’s great~"
