Four Split Personalities

As is well-known, the level of familiarity between people greatly impacts the way they communicate, so Double Leaf had been quite restrained in front of everyone, but when she was with someone she considered a ’friend’ like ’Hei Fan,’ she was much more relaxed. As for her interactions with ’Tan Mo’...

Well, she was just her true self, the naturally high-pollution kind.

"What do you mean Saintess, what do you mean ’getting along famously?’ We are just friends, plain and simple!"

Motan, maintaining his guise as ’Hei Fan’ at that moment, spread his hands with a mix of consternation and helplessness, "Even if there were any inappropriate thoughts, they’d be on my side alone. Don’t you stir up trouble."

Double Leaf on the screen grinned, her round glasses reflecting a glint of light as she teased, "Need some help from your sis? If it were me, hacking into that cute girl’s device would be a piece of cake. How about I get you some juicy photos or something?"

[Pretty sharp, aren’t you~]

Motan thought with satisfaction, but on the surface he twitched the corners of his mouth and glanced at Double Leaf, "So why are you so sure there would be juicy photos on her phone?"

"If ever she takes her phone or tablet into the bathroom, I can get her juicy photos."

Double Leaf looked up, suddenly exuding an overpowering kingly aura.

"You’re so naughty..."

"Shut up, you want them or not?"

"No."

Motan shook his head like a tambourine and said earnestly, "She’s my friend, I can’t do that kind of thing, and I hope you won’t either, Double Leaf. Seriously, don’t mess around, or else I..."

The girl on the screen watched him playfully and asked with interest, "Or else what?"

"I’ll cry!"

Motan said with a face full of righteousness and in a grave tone, "I’ll sit on the floor and cry my eyes out, and let you suffer the agony of guilt."

The girl on the screen froze for half a second, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Pfft, hahahaha, alright, alright, you win, okay? Geez, you’re almost shameless enough to rival me."

[Nonsense, I’m way more shameless than you.]

Motan thought disdainfully, then put on a relieved expression, "Then I’m really grateful, thank you."

"Actually, I never thought of actually doing it, after all, she’s a girl just like me."

Double Leaf struggled to lift a body-sized can of Dr. Pepper, chugged a few gulps, then held her belly, now three sizes larger, and burped, "If you had indeed agreed to let me get the juicy photos, I would have found an opportunity to get yours and expose them~"

Unable to hold back anymore, Motan asked with a hollow gaze, "Why are you so interested in her juicy photos anyway?"

"Don’t worry, I know how to get them without burning my eyes."

"What’s that got to do with whether I worry or not!"

"Stop babbling, I have a few things to ask you."

Double Leaf completely ignored Motan’s complaints and had the paper doll girl on the screen ask seriously, "How much do you know about those Heretics from Dayang’s tales?"

Motan didn’t linger on the topic of juicy photos anymore. Upon hearing this, he stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No more than you. He did mention it before, but his explanation wasn’t as clear as this time. It’s basically that Holy Mountain Sumer in the north has been invaded by a bunch of evil forces, and it’s a stalemate between the two sides now. Those so-called Heretics can’t bite through the main peak of the mountain, and the people on the mountain find it hard to uproot the other’s stronghold, and that’s it."

"You’re no help."

Double Leaf rolled her eyes and then, scratching her head, continued, "Speaking of another matter, you must have realized by now, that short-haired girl called Little Gogog, what she saw must be the slaves captured by the Marshall Family from Fire Claw."

[It’s more than just realizing; I was the one who found those unfortunate souls.]

Motan nodded slightly and shrugged, "Sure, I’ve realized it. But I’m too far from there now to be of any help."

"It’s the same for me. Things have completely fallen apart in Violet, a whole mess of chaotic issues."

Double Leaf listlessly rolled around twice on the screen and, scratching her head, said, "Anyway, I hope they can rescue those people. If things go without a hitch, that should be the last batch of victims."

Motan smiled reassuringly and gave a thumbs up, "True to form."

"Everyone has their own specialty. You’re doing well for yourself in Misha County too."

Double Leaf waved her hand and hummed with a stinky expression, "Besides, what happened in Violet isn’t just my doing; all sorts of good people and scoundrels have lent a lot of help. There’s nothing to be proud of."

"You’re too modest."

"I think so too."

"..."

"Let’s leave it at that for now. You need to boost your security levels; it’s painful to watch."

Double Leaf waved her hand, then disconnected the video on her own, leaving Motan staring blankly in front of his computer.

One minute later

Motan pulled the ethernet cable from the hidden compartment of the desk and casually plugged it back into his laptop. He turned on all the protective measures he had shut down earlier and hissed with a laugh, "Busybody..."

Then, he got up and left the house.

He felt he had been quite restrained and urgently needed to soothe himself by causing some minor mental distress to others through actions like shopping.

He was running low on Dr. Pepper at home, anyway.

...

Time passed, and the years flew by...
