Quadruple split

【Why not? 】

[Why aren't you here? ! 】

[Where can I be if I’m not here! ? 】

When Mo Tan glanced at the empty bench with his peripheral vision, he almost used up all the strength in his body to barely maintain his body shape and not let himself fall to the ground. His brain fell into a blank for an instant, and his whole person was as if He froze as if struck by lightning.

He froze...for about half a second, he looked away from the bench and continued to drive the carriage he was sitting on as if nothing happened. Although there was a huge wave in his heart, on the surface it was It was calm and didn't show any abnormalities.

He couldn't show anything strange, and he definitely couldn't show anything strange, because of that unlucky [Chivalry-Honesty], Mo Tan would get upset when Ji Xiaoge and others noticed something was wrong, and when asked "What's wrong?" Because he couldn't say "it's okay" in an understatement.

The matter is serious! very serious! Unprecedentedly serious!

Mo Tan can accept that he will have so many hours of fragments every day because although the monster imprisoned in the City of Light is full of doubts, it is still a barely reasonable explanation. To put it simply, it is his preliminary judgment that he has been The 'fourth side' that has not appeared for more than ten years has become an unconscious monster breathing in the realm of innocence. Although it is a bit far-fetched, it is at least somewhat realistic.

But it was hard for him to accept that 'himself' who was originally sleeping on the chair disappeared so suddenly in less than half an hour!

After half a year, Mo Tan, who has a deep understanding of the Innocence Boundary system, is very clear that the two settings of 'the player disappears offline' and 'the player is noticed by the NPC and the character remains in the game' are very strict and will never be used. There may be a possibility that the character will disappear after a period of time without anyone paying attention to him, and under this premise, the mysterious disappearance of 'Tan Mo' is a bit outrageous!

After switching roles, I have been playing the game as 'Mo'. There are no cutscenes, no offline, no personality changes. However, the character 'Tan Mo' is simply an empty shell after losing control of the player. It is absolutely impossible for me to do whatever I want. Wander somewhere.

[Calm down and rule out all possibilities...]

While maintaining his calmness on the surface, Mo Tan quickly turned his brain, which was somewhat sluggish under the impact just now, to integrate all the known information as quickly as possible, and the whole person began to calm down quickly from a panicked state. Come down.

Trying to put aside the panic of encountering this situation for the first time, Mo Tan took a deep breath and relied on his extremely strong psychological quality to calm his thoughts.

After filtering out those outrageous possibilities and taking into account the system's protection mechanism for players when offline in a non-combat state, Mo Tan felt that the character 'Tan Mo' should not be in danger at the moment.

Then, under the premise of tentative safety, the next thing to consider is the reason and process of 'oneself' disappearing. This is the most important point.

[The security of Academy City has always been good, and those classrooms and students rarely do anything illegal within the sphere of influence of the Presbyterian Church...]

[This is a relatively secluded place in the outer ring area. Although it is not far from the South Gate, there are very few unrelated people who take the initiative to come here...]

[Although there is no guarantee, the boy I bumped into before seems to have a more reserved personality. He is probably the type who is withdrawn and doesn’t like to cause trouble. Judging from the direction he left...well, there is no way to judge this, but in a short time The possibility of turning back is extremely low, so although the suspicion is there, it is not too big...]

[It is now during the exchange meeting, and Academy City is in a sensitive period, so there should not be many people or organizations that would rashly commit such a kidnapping act. Moreover, although I have been active here under the identity of 'Frank Hughes' before, However, the social circle is relatively narrow, and there is a lot of blank space in the background. It is impossible for anyone to find out the details, so the possibility of being targeted is very low. 】

【In this case...】

[It seems a bit contradictory, but the answer that can meet various conditions at the same time does not exist. 】

[Combined with the information I got when I was Black Brahma, if I calculate the time, it seems that I can get it right. 】

[I see, that’s what happened...]

[Although it is less than 50% sure, it should be enough. 】

Mo Tan rubbed his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave his overloaded brain a break. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he carefully adjusted his posture so that the man next to him was dozing off on his shoulder. Yaya was able to sleep more comfortably and felt relaxed.

I was still too panicked just now. If I could think calmly for a moment, I wouldn't be in such a mess.

After reflecting on himself for a while, Mo Tan cleared the matter about 'Tan Mo' from his mind, yawned lazily, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the man who was kneeling on Wang Ba Dan's back not far away. , the girl who shook her head and hummed a tune in a low voice, then looked away slightly deliberately and looked at the clear blue sky.

"It's so peaceful~"

He muttered something in a low voice, and then raised a flag to himself in a lower voice: "It would be great if everything goes well."

…

five minutes later

Just after Mo Tan and his group left, a graceful figure came out from behind a tree on the roadside and walked slowly onto the deserted road.

This is a half-orc girl from the fox tribe wearing a student uniform from a certain college in the Central District of Academy City and rimless glasses. She has long fiery red hair and a bright and shiny tail of the same color. She is small and small. Her delicate baby face made her look several years younger than her actual age, and she was writing furiously on a thin notepad.

"Well, the basic data has been visually inspected. The length of the tail may have some errors due to the angle, but it is within the allowed range. Hehe, the [Tailor-made] skill is really useful. What the lady said is indeed right. This There are no useless professions with talents and skills in the world, there are only useless people. At that time, I thought she was just comforting me~"

The girl closed the notepad in her hand with a 'snap', then she smiled and walked slowly to the empty bench on the opposite side of the path. She narrowed her smart and cunning eyes slightly and whispered to herself: "But The person just now should have focused all his energy on this chair for a moment. Well, is there anything worth paying attention to on it? Alas, I always think it was my misunderstanding. Sure enough, the person just scanned it casually. Just one glance."

Having said that, she still carefully circled the chair several times, stretched out her little hand and touched it for a while, and finally even sat on it and posed in a few positions.

"Well, as expected, there was no gain at all..."

After a careful inspection, she feebly left the bench where Mo Tan had tilted her head half an hour ago, stepped forward and threw it in the opposite direction of Mo Tan and his group. Shake and shake from behind, it looks really cute.

No matter which way you look at it, this girl is an extremely ordinary member of Academy City. If you ignore her outstanding appearance, she is definitely the kind of person you won’t find on the street immediately. .

In fact, in this place where there is no shortage of handsome guys and beauties, even if this girl is quite attractive, you probably won't be able to find her on the street.

…

twenty minutes later

Game time PM16:28

West side of Academy City Central District, Liuli Pavilion, in front of Room 313 on the third floor

Dong dong dong——

Wearing a gray robe with a trendy style and a gauze-like texture, a crisp single ponytail, and light makeup on her face, she made the lobby person stand out with just one look and a smile two minutes ago. The manager almost lost his mind and the Fox tribe woman gently knocked on the door and whispered: "Sir, I'm back."

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Two seconds later, a faint male voice came from inside the house.

"yes."

The woman, whose eyes and smile made people feel enchanting, nodded slightly, then turned to nod to Archduke Fossey who had just come out of his room, and slowly walked into room 313 in front of him.

Then--

With a click, the woman locked the door and then ran to the man sitting on the sofa in the center of the main hall like a happy deer, holding a glass of red wine and shaking it gently. In front of him, he smiled like a flower: "Sir, I'm back!"

"Thank you for your hard work, A-Qing."

Gavin, who has been showing off his appearance as a 'Sin Lord' since leaving the Chauvin Empire, smiled and said softly: "Sit down and talk. Also, the soundproof barrier will automatically unfold after the door is locked here. The Chauvin Empire is not one of those We are a big force that attracts attention. No one will pay attention to us around the clock, so don’t call us adults.”

"Okay, miss, you should have told me earlier, I would be embarrassed to scream myself!"

A-Qing stuck out her tongue, sat obediently next to Jiawen, then turned sideways and skillfully rubbed the latter's shoulders while smiling: "Miss, please don't look like this, that guy doesn't look that good." Handsome, it’s great to be like yourself again.”

Jiawen smiled and shook her head, put down her wine glass and poked Ah Qing's cheek gently, and said not very seriously: "Be polite, that's my boss."

"Oh my, if A Qing remembers correctly, the last boss who asked the lady to work seemed to have just been thrown into prison some time ago!"

Ah Qing smiled and said slyly: "I heard that I was treated very badly."

"I met the deputy warden Qi Mo a few years ago. He is a very interesting person and very knowledgeable about current affairs. I believe he will take good care of brother Fu Xi."

Jia Wen folded her legs noncommittally, turned to Ah Qing and smiled: "But my current boss is not a smart person like Brother Fu Xi. He knows what I want, and he also knows how to give full play to my potential." Value can almost be said to be one of the most dazzling highlights in this not-so-boring world, and for now, I am happy to work for him."

"Miss, you are really so tired from running the company during the day. After all, you have to play games and be ordered to run around. You don't know how to feel sorry for yourself!"

The girl wrinkled her nose and increased the strength of her hands: "Miss, you don't feel sorry for yourself, but Ah Qing still feels sorry for you."

Jia Wen smiled and patted Ah Qing's little hand on her shoulder: "Oh, I've made you worry about it, but I think it's good. Although I thought it was too much to spend a leisurely time doing nothing in this game. Yes, but now it seems that I am really not a person who can take time off."

Ah Qing curled her lips and hummed: "I can't help you, Miss..."

"I'm just telling the truth. Okay, let's get down to business."

Jia Wen picked up the goblet in front of her and took a sip of red wine, then asked calmly: "How is Target No. 2 doing?"

A-Qing let go of her little hand on Jiawen's shoulder, took out the notebook with the first two pages densely written on it from her bag, put on a playful smile and said seriously: "It's going pretty well, all the data has been collected. When we arrived, I even sketched out the equipment on him. If you are willing to spend money, you can get most of it in two working days...well, within two days, if there are no attributes requirements."

"Don't go out of your way to acquire it. After all, it is a high-end equipment for the knight profession. There will probably be situations where the attributes are not up to standard."

Jia Wen shook his head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I will keep an eye on you later anyway. I asked you to go this time because you just said you were too bored these days and wanted to find something to do."

Ah Qing pouted: "Don't say such things in front of others!"

"Haha, I'm sorry. I will keep it in my heart next time."

Gawen gently shook the wine in the glass and asked absently: "Have you not been discovered?"

"Of course not, it's just less than half an hour of follow-up observation. How can Ah Qing be so careless?"

Ah Qing immediately shook her head and said with a smile: "And you personally helped me dress casually, Miss. It's so amazing, so amazing, I can't even recognize myself!"

"It's just a useful little trick."

Jia Wen touched A Qing's cheek and smiled: "After all, as long as glasses are used properly, they can make a dramatic change in a person's temperament. Coupled with a set of student uniforms prepared in advance, you can It’s not that complicated to become someone else.”

Ah Qing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"It's a pity that Thousand Faces is a soul-bound equipment, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble."

Jia Wen shook his head, then glanced at A Qing who was about to speak: "Did you find anything else?"

"Uh... I can't say it's a discovery."

Ah Qing smiled coquettishly and said helplessly: "It must be an illusion. I always felt that Target No. 2 cares about a chair, but after further investigation, I found nothing at all. Maybe I am neurotic."

"Often, people who say this are missing some very important clues."

Jia Wen first shook her finger, then chuckled and said, "Tell me later."

"Okay, miss, how's it going with Target No. 1?"

"It didn't take long before it went offline."

"Eh?"

"But I have other gains~"

"What is it?"

"Haha, it's a very interesting discovery about the biggest competitor for the next project."
