Four Split Personalities

"It really is fitting, after all, whether it’s me right now, the good kid version of me, or the teenage version of me, they all possess enough ’intelligence.’ If that advanced talent is unique to the ’Absolute Neutrality’ state, then it’s indeed the most ordinary trait for ’Mo Tan.’ Haha, in the end, it’s nothing special~"

Mo Tan thought comfortably for a few seconds, having completed his main task for this reconnection, and then prepared to log off.

Even if he was in a more reckless state at this stage, he wouldn’t interfere much with things ’he’ wanted to do. Now that Misha County’s south side was at a critical moment, Mo Tan naturally wouldn’t intentionally trouble himself; after all, in the end, he was still ’one person.’ So even if he was casual about betraying others, at this moment, Mo Tan would still hold back a bit.

However, logging off directly seemed a bit abrupt. If he logged off without Laisa noticing, he would simply disappear from the Realm of Innocence. Although it wasn’t much of a problem, Mo Tan didn’t want to spend too much effort explaining why he left quietly and then appeared out of nowhere the next time he logged in. So, he straightforwardly moved close to Laisa’s ear and then blew hard!

"Ah!"

Sleeping soundly, Laisa shuddered as if electrocuted, then slowly opened her eyes in a haze and grumbled discontentedly, "What are you doing..."

"Lying flat causes sagging, so I thought I’d let you change position and continue sleeping."

Mo Tan ruffled her hair, then suddenly tilted his head and muttered in an even more dazed tone, "Well then, goodnight... Zzzzzz..."

"Nuts!"

Laisa wrinkled her nose, yawned a little, and then lightly bit Mo Tan’s shoulder before continuing her nap. In a daze, she wondered how this guy could so naturally share the same bed with her!

Meanwhile, Mo Tan’s consciousness had already left the Realm of Innocence, returning to the game cabin in the real world.

...

Real-time PM 20:59

Yawning, Mo Tan clambered out of the game cabin, then headed to the bathroom. After letting out unnecessary and redundant fluids, he washed his face leisurely, then with a towel in hand, sauntered back to the living room. He grabbed a bottle of Dr.Pepper from the fridge and happily guzzled half of it, then made himself a coffee. He turned on the TV, watched the documentary ’Southern Cemetery’ recorded the previous day, and leisurely finished his coffee. Finally, he sprawled on the couch like a cat, listlessly gathering energy to switch personalities.

Although this wasn’t a reason for his prolonged delay before starting his actual task, Mo Tan was genuinely tired. The mental burden he had carried in Misha County hadn’t dissipated yet. Switching personalities in the real world under such circumstances was undeniably painful; at least a couple of hours of headache was inevitable.

But as mentioned earlier, this wasn’t the reason he had procrastinated in switching personalities until now. In fact, he simply felt that a later appearance would seem cooler, which is why he had purposely delayed for so long.

As for the long unconsciousness, and moreover, the long unconsciousness after a severe vomiting of blood potentially causing panic and frightening others, didn’t concern him at all.

"Only appearing in the worst situations makes one look COOOOL,"

Mo Tan muted the TV, slowly closed his eyes, and chuckled softly, "If, after making an appearance, I fail to turn the situation around and get wiped out by a series of natural and man-made disasters, that would be even COOOOOOOOOLER~"

Six minutes later,

"Darn it!!!"

Mo Tan leapt up from the couch, annoyed, and downed the remaining half-bottle of Dr.Pepper. He hurriedly turned off the TV (to save electricity) and, in a flurry, rushed to the game cabin. Kicking off his slippers and lying inside, he cried out in distress, "A total annihilation is not cool at all !!"

...

"Spiritual connection detected, syncing personal information..."

"Connection complete, loading character information."

"Welcome back, Hei Fan of Absolute Neutrality, about to enter the Realm of Innocence. Have a good night."

Game Time AM 11:12

Hodir Trail, Federation Army Camp, Command Tent

"Frost Star Flower, sweet rice, morning dew..."

Luna knelt beside Mo Tan, rapidly flipping through a thick notebook while vigorously searching her storage belt. She precisely proportioned various alchemy materials, tossing them into a copper pot usually used for boiling tea, mumbling, "Hot Healing Potion... Hot Healing Potion... Right, stir counterclockwise eleven times, then clockwise seven times..."

The girl clumsily pulled out a slender black wand from her storage bag, carefully wiped it a few times with clean water, then immediately began stirring strictly according to the instructions in the notebook.

After the seventh clockwise stir, the initially tea-like translucent brown potion suddenly turned bright red, emitting an alluring fragrance.

"Hmm, but adding a bit of bitter Ai would make it more effective..."

Luna scratched her head in puzzlement, tilted her head to glance at Mo Tan, whose robe was covered in dark red bloodstains, and nodded slightly, "He’s already passed out anyway, so it shouldn’t matter if it tastes a bit bad..."

Having said that, he quickly took out a black plant shaped like a grass root and threw it into the pot.

The bright red potion looked no different from before, but the sweet fragrance gradually began to become somewhat choking.

"Get better quickly... get better quickly..."

Luna muttered to herself as she took out a large spoon, scooped up a full spoonful of the hot healing potion, and stuffed it towards Mo Tan’s mouth.

The bright and beautiful potion spilled all over the place...

"No good, he’s deeply unconscious, I can’t feed him with a spoon."

Luna sighed, then frowned and glanced at the potion with limited time effectiveness and then at Mo Tan’s mouth before finally making up her mind.

"Forgive me, or it’s okay if you don’t remember."

The girl pursed her lips, muttered softly, and then without further hesitation, she reached into her storage bag and pulled out a giant metal syringe, drawing up half a vial from the copper pot before turning anxiously to look at Mo Tan: "Don’t blame me, okay..."

"Blame you for what?"

"Blame me for injecting you with a potion using a tool meant for sedating wild donkeys."

"Please allow me to refuse!"

"No, you have been unconscious for so long... huh?"

Luna blinked, looking dazed at Mo Tan who was struggling to crawl away from her and asked blankly, "You’re awake?"

The moment Mo Tan, who had just logged into the game, was startled by that ’big needle’ and nodded vigorously: "Yes, awake. Hey... how are Wang Yu and the others right now?"

"Don’t worry..."

Luna casually threw away the needle, then bent down to pick up half a pot of the potion and walked over to Mo Tan: "Feather Song just came by once, telling me Wang Yu and the others are about to come back, and there are no additional casualties."

Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, while scrolling through messages quietly he said, "That’s good."

"I didn’t experiment on you while you were unconscious, nor did I feed you anything strange."

Luna handed the small copper pot over, saying faintly, "But your condition is really bad now, so drink the medicine quickly, it will make you feel a bit better."

"This is..."

"Hot healing potion, a normal medicine, but its materials are hard to collect. You’ll need to pay me later,"

Luna thought for a moment, and said matter-of-factly: "Fifteen gold coins."

"Thanks, then I won’t be polite... Pfft!"

"It’s a bit bitter... that’s... normal, drink it up, it’s expensive."

"Got it."

Mo Tan pinched his nose and downed the pot of warm potion in one go, secretly grateful that he had also held his breath when drinking the potion Luna gave earlier, and then wiped his mouth and smiled, "Then I’ll take my leave, it’s time to prepare for the third stage."

"Rest a bit longer, Hei Fan."

"I’m already fine, your medicine is very effective!"

"Just rest a while, you were just throwing up..."

"Hahaha, I throw up blood frequently~ It’s nothing, and besides, you should be getting ready at the workshop too, right? See you on the front lines!"

"But..."

Watching Hei Fan’s hurried figure running out, Luna shook her head, picked up her notebook which she never let out of her sight, and also quickly left the tent.

"May your goddess protect you."
