Quadruple split.

Chapter 605 Prologue (I): Birthday
Nov. 2049, 3

Real time AM07:01
Accompanied by a burst of soothing music, Mo Tan, who had just logged out of the game, woke up slowly in the game cabin, and froze there after hearing the somewhat familiar melody in his ears. Open the hatch, then got up and adjusted the game cabin to sleep mode, and turned off the melodious birthday song by the way.

Come to think of it, March [-]th in the Gregorian calendar, today is his birthday...

To be honest, Mo Tan doesn't really feel much about his birthday, and he has never lived it in a serious way, whether it was the days in the orphanage when he was young, or the years when he grew up and went out alone, He never seemed to take such a memorable day in the eyes of others seriously.

Of course, if it has to be true, this day may not be Mo Tan's real birthday. After all, twenty-two years ago today was just the day he was picked up from the orphanage, and it may not be his real birthday.

But in any case, his attitude towards birthdays is still too casual. He has never lit a candle in these years, and he has forgotten how many times he just forgot. Only Yidong remembers most of the time, usually Under the circumstances, you can use this as an excuse to ask him to go out and have a good meal.

The reason why Mo Tan doesn't care about his birthday is actually simple, that is, he is not grateful, and he has never been sincerely grateful that he was born in this world.

Regardless of whether it is absolute neutral, chaotic neutral, or lawful good, the views on this aspect are generally the same.

It’s not just being cynical for no reason, nor is it a post-Second Secondary Two who pretends to be posturing. He really has never felt lucky that he came to this world. Of course, it’s only limited to not feeling lucky. Suicide is not a matter of minutes.

As for the reason, it is not complicated to say, in the final analysis it is his innate 'disease'...

Schizophrenia, atypical, multiple personalities, etc., are cool to talk about and sound cool, making movies and writing novels may be even more cool, but for the parties involved, is it really so beautiful?

The answer is of course - no.

Not only is it not beautiful, most of the time, this kind of self has a huge deviation from its own outlook on life, world outlook, and values, and it is really hard to make people laugh when there are three types of deviations.

Just imagine, in most cases, what you do will often be contrary to your original intention, most of your every decision will be regretted by yourself, almost everything you planned will be disrupted, but you even the last Basic protests are out of the question, because you are the only one who influences what you do.

If it's pure schizophrenia, it's okay, then at least it can be regarded as multiple tenants living in the same body, whether it's fighting or destroying, even if it's reasonable to kill the roots and die together.

But Mo Tan is different. Even though his thinking and acting styles are completely different under different personalities, he is still a person after all, not Hei Fan, not Tan Mo, not Mo, just an ordinary person named Mo Tan.

He is multi-faceted, but also unified. No matter what the situation is, he can clearly know any thought that arises when he is doing anything, whether it is the original intention or the purpose, because it is his own business. , so he knows everything and is powerless.

Just like the example mentioned before, a person may still want to eat noodles in the morning, but at noon he will want to eat rice and have a slight aversion to noodles, but he is still the same person; I still give up my seat to the elderly on the subway, but not today, he is still the same person.

Any normal person would experience this level of paradox.

The difference between Mo Tan is that his own conflicts are countless times more intense than those of others, and they are difficult to reconcile. To give an exaggerated and unrealistic example, the same problem that others need to struggle with may just be giving up seats. / The problem of not giving up seats, but here in Motan may become a problem of giving up seats / bombing the subway.

It may sound funny, but this kind of thing is painful for the person involved...

Mo Tan has always been himself, but precisely because of this, he has never been able to be himself.

Perhaps Mo Tan would be better in an absolutely neutral state, but he would still be entangled in all kinds of things and feel uncomfortable and speechless.

There are irreconcilable contradictions, but there is no solution at all. Mo Tan is almost self-taught in all kinds of knowledge in psychology and medicine, but there is still no progress in the 'illness'.

This is the present moment after nearly twenty years of working together, and Mo Tan has already learned to compromise with himself.

As for the worse period, such as the days when his nightmarish side had not yet been dusted, he had really considered the option of suicide. You must know that every time he passively switched to "that side", other personalities It was difficult for Mo Tan to maintain his mental stability after the incident, as if his whole body was going to be swallowed up by something indescribable.

Thankfully, that's been a long time ago...

"So besides the convenience of calling the police, the registration of the ID card is also useful for playing a song or something on such a day?"

Mo Tan was lazily sitting on the floor leaning against the game cabin, looking at the bright sunshine outside, imagining that the students who could no longer stay in bed after the winter vacation were getting out of bed half dead, brushing their teeth and washing their faces , the scene of queuing up into the classroom like zombies, I couldn't help laughing, and thinking of the girl who had just sent a message to chat with me for three hours after I hadn't seen him in the game for half a day, my mood brightened with the sun.

Although the conversations with Yuchen were all about trivial matters, and the root cause was that Yuying and the group of sisters headed by 'Big Brother' were not online, but Motan was still very brilliant.

"pretty good……"

He flicked the screen, then fixed his eyes slightly, and casually opened a very popular card collection game with a pretty good script, and was surprised to find that his continuous sign-in had been interrupted for nearly a hundred days.

Pushing back the time, it happened to be the last day of last year, the day the world of innocence opened, December [-]st.

From that day until now, eighty-four days have passed...

Although it is impossible for Mo Tan's personality to really forget how many days he has played in the world of innocence, but at this moment he still seems to be waking up from a dream, expressing surprise at how quickly time has passed.

【The life is really fulfilling...】

Even though the current Mo Tan is in an absolutely neutral personality, he still believes that whether it is the current self or the self in other states, he will have the same feeling.

All the things I have experienced during this period are vivid in my mind...

As Black Brahman himself, I don’t know how many times I have experienced parting from life and death during this period. I obviously don’t like to bear the pressure and shoulder the responsibility, but I didn’t know it step by step. One of the leaders who survived the natural disaster, met many big figures headed by Xia Lian, met Luna, Yuying and other people who can be called friends, and now he has become a member of the Dawn Sect. There are even high-ranking paladins for personal protection.

Of course... There was also the incident of becoming friends with that person by chance, and even having a little scandal.

Although I was very tired and flustered, I don't know how many times I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to give up or shrink back, but I was also very happy, because no matter what, at least when he was a 'Black Brahman', Mo Tan didn't regret himself Any decision he made, be it escaping or persevering, even if he almost forced himself to collapse in the end, was precious to him.

And, more than that...

Mo Tan, who can also resonate with his other two personalities to a certain extent under his current personality, is very clear that even if he is in a state of chaotic neutral or lawful good, he is also sincerely satisfied with these days.

The reason is exactly the same.

As Tan Mo himself, he can finally put aside all constraints and worries, and practice every crazy idea without any taboos. Without the checks and balances of "self", he just spent more than two months. I don’t know how many people have been harmed. Dave, who wanted to do something small, was cheated to death; the Black Tower City Thieves Guild, who was cheated of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and two crows were eaten, and there was no hope of promotion. Crowe; up to the Marshall family that was directly destroyed, and the southeast parish of the Whispering Sect that was unfortunately affected and suffered a heavy blow, he had a great time playing, and he was extremely happy. was thrown into chaos.

As for Mo himself, the situation is similar to that of "Tan Mo", but it is another extreme. The adventure that seems to follow the trend makes him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart. He likes those around him who have constant problems but are trustworthy. Partners, I also like the right to be free to practice my own beliefs. I don’t need to think about how not to do harm to the world, but to go down at my own pace, and not to worry about world peace. But when encountering injustices, they will not turn a blind eye, do not blindly listen to authority, and are not afraid to take responsibility, but only seek a clear conscience.

Yes, he is not a saint with a lawful and kind personality, he is just a person who seeks to have a clear conscience, but the simple four words 'clear conscience' are completely a kind of kind to Mo Tan, an atypical case. Extravagant hopes, not to mention anything else, just talk about something as simple as going to bed early and getting up early, if the personality when you wake up is not lawful and kind, it is pure nonsense.

But in the state of 'Tan Mo' and 'Black Brahman', how could he not be troubled by the same thing.

As a result, on that day three months ago, Mo Tan, who was a complex of contradictions, encountered the game of Innocence, and then gained the birthright of most people-freedom.

Whether social restrictions or moral constraints, these existences that treat everyone equally are not obstacles to freedom. At least for Mo Tan, the only obstacle to freedom is himself.

And a game that can separate each of its personalities solves this problem absurdly.

Although the life outside the game is still the same, for the 'Hei Fan', 'Tan Mo', and 'Mo' in the game, they finally enjoy the rare freedom and finally dominate the life of 'their own' to a certain extent .

Same self, different life.

Although I don't know how others are, but the game of Innocence Realm has really changed me a lot...

The lively New Year's Eve dinner seemed to be thanks to it.

"Heh, if you think about it carefully, it's not a bad thing to be able to come to this world for a while."

Turning his head to look at his own face reflected in the game cabin, Mo Tan showed a vulgar smile with a touch of warmth, behind which was a wicked smile, stood up slowly, and muttered to himself One sentence: "Either...a little celebration?"

So, ten minutes later, Mo Tan, who rarely changed into new clothes, went out lazily.

……

Real time AM: 11:49
"Shuke Shuke Shuke Shuke Kai Beta's Shuke~"

Mo Tan carried the fresh turtle he just bought in one hand, and returned to his apartment downstairs humming a little song with two bags full of ingredients in the other. ! Did you hear the news of which second devil came here to eat?"

A group of people standing in front of Mo Tan's apartment unit turned their attention to someone who was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone.

"Hey! You still know how to come back!"

Yi Dong, who had just achieved the Seventeenth Kneeling Achievement in Fighting Landlords, looked back, and Dang even flicked his middle finger: "You didn't bring your mobile phone! A group of us have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Click!

While carrying big bags and small bags, Mo Tan miraculously took out his mobile phone and snapped a photo of Yi Dong holding his middle finger, and then walked towards the door while distributing the bags in his hand to Cui Xiaoyu, Wan Yang and Kang Lan and the others finally stuffed the turtle into Yidong's arms, and while typing a large number on the doorbell, they turned around and smiled at everyone, "If you want to find me next time, just call someone else. That idiot is too annoying. So occasionally I get blocked."

"oh oh!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

These new friends that Mo Tan met in real life, Ji Xiaoge, Ji Xiaodao, Yu Chen, Wan Yang, Kang Lan, Dao... Cui Xiaoyu, quite a few, all of them came here.

"Happy birthday, Motan!"

Because he was wearing a little less, Yu Chen, who was so passive that his face was blushing, jumped up and down in a soft voice.

"Happy birthday."

"Happy birthday, man!"

"Happy birthday, when will you arrive in Sumir?"

"Happy birthday! Xiaodao also said!"

"Oh, happy birthday, I brought a few cans of cat food to say goodbye."

Everyone around Motan was chattering and wishing, it was very lively.

"Your idea?"

Mo Tan sighed, and gave Yidong a white look.

"It's lively and lively."

The latter smiled.

"Got~"

After entering the string of numbers, Mo Tan casually opened the door with a high theoretical security level, turned sideways and tilted his head towards everyone...

"Thank you, let's go inside."
