Quadruple split.

Chapter 2237 Interlude: Victory or Defeat

"honestly……"

Futaba narrowed her eyes, a reflection flashed on the lens, and she said faintly: "You should know very well that it is difficult for me to believe you now."

Mo Tan shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "I know, I know. After all, we have never been good kids worth relying on in each other's eyes. But you have also seen the scene just now. Let's be honest. Putting aside you, a spellcaster with strong mental power, even Mu Mu may not be able to take advantage of that woman. Mu Mu, don't you think so?"

"..."

Although he was also in the house, he was as quiet as a ghost. Mu Xuejian, who was leaning against the bar with his arms folded, just stared at the ground in a trance and did not give Mo Tan any response.

"It seems that the game just now has benefited her a lot."

Mo Tan smiled dotingly, then moved his gaze away from Mu Xuejian's profile and looked at Shuang Ye again: "What about you? After being the thinking core for so long, have you gained a lot of cool forbidden knowledge?"

The girl who was sitting cross-legged on the bed curled her lips. While browsing the recording at high speed, she watched every move of Mo Tan after leaving the base in the last game, and said coldly: "There is a lot of knowledge, but I can't understand it at all."

"I'll just take that as it is."

Mo Tan, who was also watching the three-times-speed recording of what had just happened in the base, said something casually, and then his eyes suddenly focused, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a subtle arc: "By the way, it turns out that Mu Mu is already strong enough to use that rebellious toy as if it were his own arm?"

Futaba was stunned at first, then immediately frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"As far as I know, the 'evolution' that Mu Mu and I experienced in the previous match was all on the physical level, such as muscles, organs, tendons, bones, and skin."

Mo Tan crossed his arms and carefully examined the limited edition Ultimate Mu Xue Sword that had evolved from a girl to a queen. He said in a light tone, "And you, dear, should be the only one among the three of us who sacrificed your combat effectiveness and became a specialized thinking mother, right?"

Futaba glared at him, and said softly as if her lips were covered with honey: "Fuck you @#￥大%*&."

"Then here's the problem."

Mo Tan ignored the girl's cordial greetings to the many female relatives among her close relatives, and stared at the other party with his eyes fixed: "I remember when we were talking to each other before, Mu Mu should have mentioned that using that [Demon Sword] would not only cause a great burden on her body, but also affect her mental level to a considerable extent. When she was controlling her extraordinary bust to fight against the card man and others, the form of this sword was also beyond my cognition, so..."

Futaba snorted and said unhappily, "So what?"

"So let's assume that she was able to withstand the impact of the [Demon Sword] on her body by virtue of having a much stronger cup size... I mean, her health condition."

Mo Tan raised his hand to grab Shuangye's shoulder, and suddenly pulled her close to a distance where she could hear his breathing. He lowered his eyes and whispered, "So, how did Mu Mu withstand the mental shock brought by the same magic sword? Don't tell me that thing will be gentle to people with good figures."

Shuangye grabbed Mo Tan's collar, pulled him down, and bumped his head against his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not impossible, right?"

"Of course not."

Mo Tan blinked and said seriously: "Otherwise, when Mu Mu draws his sword, the magic sword will probably cut you first."

As the saying goes, habit makes perfect. Futaba has become numb to this level of personal attacks. She even feels like laughing. She slaps the man's face away and says, "What on earth do you want to say?"

"It's very simple. The reason why Mu Mu was able to withstand the mental impact brought by the magic sword is probably because of your help as the thinking core that can even integrate all monsters into the same mental network. In other words..."

Mo Tan grabbed Shuangye's hand that was slapping his face, raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want, it shouldn't be difficult to shield me from the outside world's mental influence, right? You saw that Fenghuaxueyue's technique, although it was an illusion with a high level of technical content, but if you had taken care of me a little, or even just pulled me into the mental network for protection, I wouldn't have been killed by that woman."

Futaba looked at Mo Tan coldly, with a gloomy expression: "You left the experimental base on your own initiative. If I expand the scope of the mind network for you alone, the progress of awakening the Overlord and assisting mutation will inevitably be affected, so I can only kick you out."

"Master? Tsk, so you really woke that thing up."

Mo Tan, who had just seen the Lord quietly appear behind Guo Shi Wushuang and crush his head, smacked his lips and asked, "Is it a defective product?"

Shuangye snorted softly, "Of course I did. Even a dog would know that it was too late to deal with the situation at that time, so I tried to do something to the master. In the end, with Mu Mu's restraint, although the house was still stolen by those bastards, at least Xiaobao was woken up at the last moment. Who knew that you were so disappointing? Xiaobao crushed the most difficult Guo Shi Wushuang."

Mo Tan whistled and said happily, "Did you choose the name Xiao Bao?"

"What?"

Futaba rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips and said, "It's concise and catchy. Are you dissatisfied?"

"No."

Mo Tan shook his head and said meekly, "But you are not allowed to name the child in the future."

Futaba rolled her eyes at him, and after a long while she said helplessly: "In short, there is no reason for me to merge you into the mind network unless I know in advance that Fenghuaxueyue is a magician."

"What a coincidence, I didn't know that woman was an illusionist."

Mo Tan spread his hands and said with a wronged look on his face: "In the end, not only did you not coax me, you even yelled at me!"

"Okay, I apologize. I shouldn't have been so mean to you."

Shuangye raised her hands and held Mo Tan's face, saying affectionately: "Now, get out of my room--"

So, along with an order to leave from the landlord, the character 'Tan Mo' was kicked out of Futaba's private space. After the other party disappeared, the latter, who had nowhere to get support, fell on the bed and began to roll madly.

“This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of exercise.”

Half a minute later, seeing that Shuangye was still rolling around on the bed at a fairly high frequency and had no intention of stopping, Mu Xuejian, who had been in a trance, finally turned around and looked at the former, frowning and saying, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Futaba stopped tumbling and gave a dry laugh: "Of course I'm in a bad mood."

"why?"

Mu Xuejian, who was a little more casual when he was alone with Shuangye, walked slowly to the bedside, lowered his eyes and made eye contact with the former who was lying on the bed in a "big" shape: "Do you still think Tan Mo let you win?"

"Yes."

Futaba answered without thinking and asked, "Don't you think so?"

"I don't think so, but even if he lets it go, I don't care."

Mu Xuejian shook his head first, then revealed a hearty smile like melting ice and snow, and said softly: "This game is really good."

"If this refers to your figure just now, then it is indeed amazing."

Shuangye complained, then waved her hand before Mu Xuejian could speak: "In short, although the reasons he gave are very sufficient, and there is no way to find any clues through the video, I still think that guy is most likely letting it go."

Mu Xuejian nodded slightly and asked, "What's the reason?"

"Just now, although he agreed to the official authorization for detailed playback and deliberately added [Pai Lao] as a friend to threaten him, the fact that the official finally chose to use the perspective of love and romance... makes me feel a little strange."

Futaba sat up abruptly, narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Logically speaking, for those people from [Card Master], the perspective of the caster of the skill Wind Flower Snow Moon is not the best choice, and from the official point of view, it is the perspective of that bitch that is more impactful, but in the end, it is the former that is presented to people."

Mu Xuejian's face suddenly showed enlightenment, and he nodded, "So what you mean is that the final official presentation actually took into account Tan Mo's opinions to a large extent?"

"It's just a guess, and it's a guess that can't be proven."

Futaba pulled the corners of his mouth, made a pose that looked like a COS Buddha, and said with a serious face, pinching his fingers and saying, "The authorities will never pay attention to me. Asking the people of [Paid Master] for confirmation is equivalent to telling them that we [Joker] have internal discord, which is definitely not acceptable."

Mu Xuejian was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Putting aside the love-hate relationship between the two of you, what does the internal discord of the [Joker Card] mean? Isn't our game over?"

As a result, Shuangye rolled her eyes at Mu Xuejian and asked, "What's your pattern?"

"ACE of Spades." Mu Xuejian answered immediately.

"What about me and Tan Mo?"

Futaba continued to ask.

"JOKER."

Mu Xuejian continued to answer immediately.

"What is our organization?"

Futaba guided them patiently and in a gentle manner.

“A non-profit organization.”

Mu Xuejian is a person who is close to ink and always confuses right and wrong.

"no……"

Futaba couldn't hold it in any longer and complained, "I asked you what the name of your organization is."

Mu Xuejian stopped teasing and went straight to the point: "So, the [Joker Card] in the Guilt-Asking Contest is closely related to the [Joker Card] in the Realm of Innocence?"

"Of course. After all, [The Realm of Innocence] is just a game. How could it not greet the players? Rather, one of the great advantages of our organization is that the two highest authorities are both 'players'."

Futaba explained succinctly, and said in a brisk tone: "And the [Guilt Controversy] is a shortcut for us to break into the high-end player group."

"Well, that's something you need to think about."

"That's right, so let's get back to the point. In fact, I am sure that the core reason why Tan Mo is not honest is very simple. It has nothing to do with the mess mentioned above."

"What's that for?"

……

"Because under the same circumstances, if our roles were reversed, she would definitely find a way to lose as long as she was sure she could hide it from everyone."

At the same time, in Jun Wu's private room, Mo Tan, who was leaning on the sofa, gave an explanation at ease, and then raised his glass to greet the two siblings in front of him: "Then, to the fake match."

Wei Yang rolled his eyes: "Disrespectful."

"Cheers to the fake match."

Jun Wu raised his glass and clinked it with Mo Tan's. After ignoring his sister's rolling eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said to the latter: "But I still don't understand why you want to lose on purpose."

"As for emotions, I have no reason to win this game, and I have no obligation to respond to anyone's expectations."

Mo Tan drank the AD calcium milk in his cup and said in a leisurely tone: "Yu Li, the opponent is a full team of professional players. Do you remember what Xiao Xiaobai said? In a competition of this level, the proportion of individual strength will be compressed, and the side with more people will have a great advantage. No matter how you think about it, we don't deserve to win."

Jun Wu frowned and said, "But you have already pushed the [Card Master] into a desperate situation and are very close to victory."

"Yeah, I think we played pretty well."

Mo Tan accepted the compliment calmly and said, "But so what? Just because we have the ability to beat the card guys, do we have to defeat them and win the game to give an explanation to those who expect us to win unexpectedly?"

Jun Wu spread his hands and said noncommittally: "Everyone likes to watch the dark horse, the hero and the brave man slaying the dragon, such royal stories."

"Heh, if that's the case, then I definitely wouldn't mind rolling up those royal scripts into little paper sticks and stuffing them into those people's asses, in the name of heroes and brave men."

Mo Tan showed a bright and clear smile, and said happily: "If you want to know why, it's because I would rather make myself 'happy' than make others 'happy'. If someone might feel unhappy in the process, it is the best adjustment for me, comparable to dripping wax, uniforms and whips."

"Scumbag."

Wei Yang's words are concise and to the point, expressing his true feelings directly.

"That's right, dear, scumbag."

Mo Tan smiled, a sly arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Jun Wu in a leisurely tone: "Instead of being a hero, a brave man, or a dark horse to please others, to be honest, I think any normal person would not choose the latter when their own interests conflict with others. Of course, you can retain the freedom to expect and be disappointed at will, but I also have the right to curse you with all the dirty words I can."

Jun Wu curled his lips: "In a civilized society, please exercise some restraint."

"Civilized society is none of my business."

Mo Tan crossed his legs and said lazily, "Unless you are willing to change the subject instead of trying like a fool to get me to give an explanation or account to those who want to see Wang Dao's story."

"Okay, let's change the subject."

Jun Wu's face turned grim, and he clapped his hands vigorously as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, "So you bet heavily on yourself to lose, because you have long wanted to let him win at the critical moment?"

"How can it be."

Mo Tan laughed jokingly, shaking his finger and said, "It's just a coincidence. In fact, when I asked you to help place the bet, I had no intention of letting you win, because my level of skill is not enough to let you win in terms of force. As for intelligence, that woman will not give me a chance."

"So that's why..."

"There are so many of them."

"what?"

"They have more people, are stronger, have a better chance of winning, and the odds are not low. Why shouldn't I bet on them to win?"

"But you also..."

"There has to be a limit to underestimating others. Under the premise that I am a loser, Shuangye is on par with Guo Shi Wushuang, and Mu Xuejian is slightly stronger than the other four members of Pai Lao. So as long as both sides have brains, the possibility of us winning is slightly higher than the possibility that your sister can lay eggs."

"So the key to victory or defeat actually lies in the number of people?"

"What else? Didn't you realize that the core of the card players' tactics from the beginning to the end is 'the majority bullies the minority'?"

"last question."

"I'm just coming to sit with you for a while, man."

"If you didn't let the water go at the end, could you have won?"

"sure."

"real or fake?"

"Just to please you."
