Quadruple split

Chapter 1151 Chance Encounter

Game time AM05:27

Academy City, Outer Ring District, Sunny Path

"Phew, I finally caught up."

Walking hurriedly on the path back, Mo Tan, who had hardly rested since an hour ago, breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked up at the starry sky that was gradually thinning, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

To be honest, at this moment, he didn't really agree with his hasty decision not long ago.

The reason is simple. Just as I thought when my personality was 'Absolutely Neutral', even if this kind of impulsive decision succeeds, it is just a delay that can't even cure the symptoms.

Just prolong the fragile balance between Yuchen and himself a little bit.

It is true that that feeling can indeed be called 'happiness', but it is just an illusion. As the person involved, Mo Tan can fully understand his 'own' mood, but this will not shake the already destined ending.

Mo Tan couldn't be with Yu Chen. In fact, he couldn't be with any girl at all.

This is unavoidable, and any so-called struggle is all self-deception.

But there is no way, after all, the person who chooses to deceive himself is 'self'.

So all I can do now is to try my best to make this meeting that may happen at any time as seamless as possible, and try my best to stifle any accidents that may cause extreme consequences.

To be honest, this is not an easy task...

It is true that Cole Schulun, who has been with me for a long time, is very good. Even in terms of acting, which he is not very good at, he is enough to overwhelm many actors in the past who are not as rich in expressions as marmots and can cry for half an hour if their skin is broken. His line skills and acting skills are not as good as those of Parrot, but after all, he is just an NPC, an NPC whose world view is completely different from that of ordinary players.

Feiyali, who has been trying to understand people from other worlds and has begun to achieve results, will be frustrated when she is crushed by 'herself' due to the dimensional difference during chats, let alone someone like Cole, who she has not deliberately taught them knowledge about other worlds before. of locals.

Given the huge differences in world views, it is extremely difficult for an ordinary person from another world to understand what a smartphone is, let alone learn and use it in a chat.

In addition, there are various ‘points’ where problems are likely to arise, such as chat channels and interpersonal relationships in the real world. No matter where a problem occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In reality, there is still an Ito who can help provide cover, but there is no such thing in the game. Zombie is too weak now, and he doesn't even dare to enter the city during this sensitive period.

In fact, if it weren't for the help of the Rice brothers to solve the most troublesome tail link, Cole wouldn't even be able to impersonate the character of 'Mo', which would be completely hellish.

After all, pretending to be an ordinary player who only knows Ji Xiaoge and a few NPC friends is completely different from pretending to be 'Mo Tan', an acquaintance who is very familiar with Ji Xiaoge and Yu Chen in reality and has countless topics to talk about. a concept.

And in terms of personality, although Ji Xiaoge is also a smart and good girl, no matter what kind of personality Mo Tan is, she unanimously feels that if Cole pretends to be 'Hei Fan', 90% of the time Yu Chen will notice the clues.

In fact, not to mention Cole, even Mo Tan himself would show confusion shortly after his personality changed during several offline gatherings. Although it was just 'confusion', it was definitely Not a good sign.

This is Mo Tan playing himself!

In other words, no matter how perceptive a girl is, it will be difficult to detect a mental problem of mental illness, but it is not so easy to get away with impersonation.

Mo Tan has done the best he can.

He instilled in Cole all the issues in his concept that might be mentioned in that 'small gathering', and he asked the Rice brothers to customize a model that could perfectly reproduce the 'Mo' in conjunction with [Hundred States]. As a prop for this role, he did everything he could to lay the groundwork.

Under Evie's operation, Futaba and Diana's time will be tight during this period, and Harlequin Card can also help transfer [Hundred Forms].

And when the time comes, I, who will appear in that small gathering as ‘Black Brahma’, will also assist as much as possible.

The rest is left to fate.

【so tired……】

Stretching tiredly, Mo Tan shook his head with a wry smile, his whole body was full of emotions.

However, in the next second——

Whoosh! ! !

Suddenly, a piercing sound came from behind Mo Tan.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Tan twisted sideways almost as soon as he heard the sound, pulled out the [Justice Mandala] from his waist with his backhand, and struck the attacker who suddenly touched his back with a thundering force.

Not long after arriving in Academy City, he discovered that someone was watching him. Later, even Yaya was targeted by someone who controlled the [Wang Chong]. Mo Tan has almost never neglected his vigilance during this time, especially in this kind of situation. When walking alone at night, although he could never calm down, he calmly reacted immediately.

"Ouch!"

An exclamation suddenly came from the darkness, and the figure reflected in Mo Tan's vertical pupils staggered on the spot, narrowly avoiding his sword whose momentum was suddenly blocked for some reason, and continued after a brief pause. He rushed over with all his strength.

[Crane Moon] was activated. Faced with the attacker's unorganized swoop, Mo Tan, who felt a little dazed, easily avoided the figure, but did not take the opportunity to draw his sword again. Instead, he used his free left hand to strike at the opponent. A gentle push on the back...

Bang! ! !

The woman wearing light armor fell to the ground in a very unseemly posture, and because she was wearing a short skirt, she perfectly achieved a textbook exposure.

Mo Tan, out of gentlemanly demeanor, subconsciously turned his head away even though he was under the cover of night. Of course, it didn't matter even if he didn't look back, because the system had already pasted the mosaic on the person at the moment he fell.

"What a chance!"

But seeing the woman on the ground let out a clear cry, a carp jumped up on the spot, raised the sack in his hand and rushed towards Mo Tan for the third time, and at the same time shouted: "Ajiong! Ancient tree! Together! Come on!"

"don't want."

An unmotivated male voice sounded from not far away, and his tone was full of pain: "I beg you, can we not go crazy? Can't you see that I am giving in... Hey! Gu! What are you doing, tree!”

"Follow the commander's orders."

Another voice that sounded very clear sounded, followed immediately by a twisted wind blade flying from a short distance, accurately blocking Mo Tan's avoidance angle.

In desperation, Mo Tan could only stand still, stretched out his leg and kicked the toe of the girl who was holding the sack high.

A very, very light blow.

And then... bang!

That's right, the girl fell down again, but this time she didn't fall into a trap. Instead, she rolled half a circle on the ground and sat down like a duck. She pointed at Mo Tan angrily and yelled: "Damn it! You are a despicable and shameless villain, why don’t you get caught quickly!”

Mo Tan: "..."

"I'm so damn convinced."

The first male voice sounded like his egg was about to burst, and he suggested to the other people in the darkness: "How about we go back?"

"hehe."

The second male voice smiled, obviously not planning to leave.

"Qiuyue, please stop making trouble..."

Then came a weak-sounding female voice, saying tremblingly: "This is really not good!"

"I think it's not this person."

A fourth, very calm voice sounded, clear and calm, but with almost no emotion at all.

"I knew it……"

He reacted almost as soon as the sack girl in front of him started shouting. Mo Tan, who had perfectly guessed the identity of the other party, put the sword back into its sheath with a wry smile, bent down and stretched out his right hand to the girl: "Long time no see, Qiuyue Tuan." Chief, do you still remember me?"

"ah?"

The beautiful girl, less than 160 centimeters tall, with a refreshing single ponytail and long eyelashes and big eyes, was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously grabbed Mo Tan's hand and stood up. She looked at the latter for a while before saying in confusion. :"Who are you?"

"Mo, Mo from the Wangwang team."

Mo Tan shrugged helplessly, and then saw that the girl named Qiuyue in front of him still had no reaction at all, and added: "We met near Craftsman Town not long ago, and we resisted a powerful force together. Do you have any impression of the robber?"

"ah!"

The leader of the group who loves to join in the fun, a girl named Qiuyue in the game immediately clapped her hands hard: "Where are you bastard?"

"..."

Even though it was Mo Tan, he was stunned for a moment in front of the opponent's brain that was almost dancing. He reacted for about two seconds before replying with a chuckle: "Wang Badan and several other friends are also in Academy City. .”

"Oh, why don't you take such a good bastard with you?"

"Uh... it's too late, it's not convenient..."

"Then do you still want that bastard? Don't give it to me!"

"This... although that guy is indeed a bit despised, I still don't plan to give it away for the time being."

"I'll trade pomegranates for you. Do you know pomegranates? They're pretty and have big breasts! And they're very easy to feed!"

"Please forgive me for refusing."

"Hey, you are so stubborn."

"Feel sorry……"

"Then why did you kill Mingsakaki?"

"ah?"

"I'm asking you a question! Why did you kill Akira? Does she owe you money?"

"No……"

"Why did you kill her when I didn't owe you money? She was such a weak little girl!"

"..."

Mo Tan was speechless, speechless in the literal sense. He felt that there must have been some misunderstandings between himself and the leader of Qiuyue that ordinary people could not understand, and judging from the other party's messy and fragmented words, even if his eloquence was It's not bad, it can be explained clearly in just a short while.

So, he turned his attention to seeking help——

"Enough is enough, you idiot!!"

He was also a member of the group who loved to join in the fun. He had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary figure, and ordinary equipment. Mo Tan remembered that a young man named Smith rushed over in a hurry, locked Qiu Yue's hands from behind, and said angrily: "Can You can’t stop being embarrassed!”

"Let go! You handyman!"

Qiuyue was furious and immediately began to struggle violently: "I am the leader, you can't do this to me!"

At the same time, three other people also walked out of the darkness.

A handsome guy with long brown hair and slender eyes and narrow eyes, the member named Gu Shu bowed elegantly to Mo Tan: "It seems to be a misunderstanding."

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

The chestnut-haired girl named Pomegranate, who had a cute appearance and a great figure, bowed at 90 degrees and apologized to Mo Tan with a red face.

"..."

The little girl with fair skin, walking at the back, glanced at Mo Tan calmly and said nothing. This was Ming Sakaki who loved to join in the fun.

"So what happened?"

Mo Tan first picked up a handful of pomegranates, whose bows had gradually increased to 180 degrees. Then he looked at Smith, who seemed to be easier to communicate with, and asked curiously: "What is the killing that Captain Qiuyue just said..."

"Akisakaki was killed."

Smith, who knew Mo Tan's identity as a player, didn't hide it. He sighed, and while tightly restraining Qiu Yue, who was still struggling, he said in a dry voice: "Just a few hours ago, we were eating alone. Aki Sakaki, who was out for a walk, suddenly sent us a message saying that he had been killed and that he had just rebuilt his character and might have to come back later."

Mo Tan: "Huh?"

"It seems that he was suddenly attacked while walking on the road."

Gu Shu nodded slightly and added: "The location is near here. She was sent back to the login space without seeing the murderer clearly, but she was very lucky. Not only was the race she was randomly selected again still human, but the refresh location was also in the academy. It only took more than an hour to rejoin us near the city."

Shiliu also nodded and said timidly: "Then Qiuyue said she would come here to hide the murderer... Ajiong... ah! It was Smith who failed to stop her, and finally everyone came out together, and then... ugh! I'm sorry!"

Another ninety-degree bow.

Mo Tan realized it at that time.

"Then he saw me."

He scratched his hair and smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I walked all the way over there and didn't see anyone suspicious."

"You yourself are a suspicious person! You may have killed Ming Sakaki! Even the murderer would not say that he is the murderer!"

"Uh...but it's really not me."

"If it wasn't you, why would you be wandering around in a deserted place like this!"

"..."

"Speak! Are you feeling guilty?"

"I'm lost."

"Ha! I knew it was you!"

After hearing Mo Tan's perfunctory explanation, Qiu Yue suddenly became energetic.
