Four Split Personalities

80: Chapter 32: Whispers in the Shadow_2 80: Chapter 32: Whispers in the Shadow_2 A chilling voice resonated suddenly in the room, causing both Dave and Motan to hesitate.

However, the hesitation differed.

After, Dave immediately, sweat beading on his forehead, put on his coat and darted to the door, while the person hiding in the wardrobe revealed a smile that could not be described with words…

It was a smile so authentic that it hardly contained any trace of emotion.

In a short while, Dave returned from the doorway, a man shrouded in a large cloak following closely behind him.

Determining the gender of the person was an easy task for Motan.

He made this conclusion without even looking at the person’s face.

The man’s walking pace, stride, and some subtle details were enough for him to deduce this.

“My lord!” Showing respect, Dave invited the man to sit in the chair by the table and slightly bowed, “I wonder why you’re seeing me in person…

instead of contacting me through the whispering book…”

The visitor grunted coldly, raising his hand to cut off Dave’s words, then a deep hoarse voice echoed around the room, “Are you really unaware of how close you were to messing everything up?

And you dare to ask why I came in person?!”

Dave trembled all over, stuttering anxiously in reply, “Servant…

this servant didn’t know…”

“Didn’t know?” The distorted voice was filled with rage, “So let me ask you!

Why didn’t you deal with Ai Vanja on the spot that day?!

Why didn’t you verify the death of Cole Shu Lun with your own eyes?!

Why didn’t you return to command the two Redback beasts to injure you to create a wound, but instead took the matters into your own hands to unnecessarily use Divine Power for deception?!”

Dave paused for a moment then explained quietly, “Faced alone with the two Redback beasts, Cole was bound to die.

When he decided to hold them off, I knew he was preparing to sacrifice himself for that girl Rona… After being attacked by me, Vanja could not have survived in that…”

“In that little woods?!

” The other party let out a suppressed rage, “Then why did I only find a mound of soil burying Lada Dona and two blood stains, when I rushed there following your report?!

Yet, I couldn’t find the bodies of the small priest and the person who had ‘sacrificed’ himself!!”

Dave’s face turned ashy pale in an instant; his body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.

He truly never expected such a twist in that situation…

What Dave didn’t know was that the cunning mastermind behind these unexpected events was hiding in his wardrobe, watching with great interest as he trembled in fear before the ‘lord’.

“Humph, calm down,” the man said darkly, “You can count yourself lucky.

We are at a crucial moment in the plan.

Otherwise, I’d have let you experience the pleasure of Mi Yin Soul Destruction with my own hands!”

Upon hearing that the other party had no immediate plans to punish him, Dave was able to regain some composure.

He then expressed horror and asked fearfully, “Many thanks…my lord… but if Vanja and Shu Lun are not dead, will I not…”

“Calm down, you useless thing!” The man sternly interrupted and then shook his head gently, “Although Cole Shu Lun’s body has not been found, it might have been eaten by those two beasts.

After all, the body of the elf mage is also missing.

Even if he were lucky enough to still be alive, he should not have known what you did…”

[So he just makes assumptions like that, even though such a possibility exists.

But his thoughts are not meticulous enough.

Can such a person serve as an executive under the whispering god?

A bit disappointing…]

While Motan was hiding his presence with full effort, he thought mockingly.

The ‘lord’ paused for a short moment before continuing, “As for the small priest, she probably didn’t die.

She definitely saw your acts.

But don’t worry too much.

After all, her injuries were quite severe.

If she really returned to the city in these two days, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.

When the time comes, I will control her, and discreetly get rid of her after everything settles down…”

“What are you actually…” Dave looked at him puzzled.

He could understand the wording about Cole, but he was not able to comprehend the latter part.

Seeming to see through his confusion, the other party chuckled, then raised his hand to pull down the hood of the cloak.

Revealing…

A very ordinary face!

“Lord Lange!?” Dave gasped in surprise, “How could it be you?”

The middle-aged man sitting in front of him named ‘Lange’ chuckled, his round face full of kindness, he appeared to be a good old man no matter how one looked at him.

[Oh, it seems that villains nowadays prefer to appear as people’s person rather than taking the wild beast or feminine routes…]

After immediately memorizing the man’s face and distinctive characteristics, Motan silently commented in his mind.

“Do you understand now?” Lange asked Dave with a smile, “I’ve already instructed my people.

From today onwards, if Cole Shu Lun or Ai Vanja enters Pato City, they will be brought to me to receive ‘careful attention’.”

[Well, that’s good, it seems you did not anticipate the possibility of them entering the city that same night.

Who told you that they would definitely return after your humble servant?]

Motan rolled his eyes secretly…

“The plan will proceed as usual,” Lange told the completely relaxed Dave, with a smile.

“But this time you must strictly adhere to the rules, no more mistakes can be allowed.”

A slight chill from his seemingly mild eyes made Dave feel as if needles pierced his back, he rushed to nod, “Rest assured, sir, this time I absolutely will not mess up again, tomorrow morning, I will have the Holy Church temporarily bestow me with the title of Holy Knight, I’ll then head to the outskirts of the city to personally kill those two Redback Beasts, to avenge our ‘comrades’~”

When he finished saying the last sentence, Dave’s laughter was filled with glee…

Motan was grinning broadly too~

“Excellent,” Lange nodded, a hearty smile on his face.

“After you come back, you can be fully qualified as a genuine ‘Holy Church Knight’.

To commend your contributions and everything you have done for Pato City, I will suggest the Holy Church to grant you — the ‘hero’— with the baptism of the Water of the Gods.

Then, with the divine power of Our Lord’s Whisper to confuse the truth, you’ll possibly be directly regarded as a ‘God’s Chosen’!”

But after listening, Dave’s face turned into a frightened, shocked expression.

He exclaimed in fear, “Go…

Gods’ water!?”

“Indeed,” Lange nodded.

“The highest level baptism that our Pato City can perform.”

“But sir!” Dave shook his head, his face pale.

” When I first converted, during the baptism, I almost got my soul burnt by the ordinary Holy Water.

If this time it is the Gods’ water …..wouldn’t I…”

Lange shrugged, “You’ll be fine; I’ll find an opportunity to get someone to swap out that thing the same day.

You just need to cover up with the divine power of Our Lord, do you understand?”

Dave once again breathed a long sigh of relief – he had lost count of instances that night.

He firmly nodded, “There’s no problem!”

“Um…By the way, you probably aren’t aware of the new base of our church, right?”

[Base~?]

“I do not know.”

[I also want to know~]

“It is at….”

[Where is it?]

Motan pricked his ears; he was highly curious about the cult’s base~

But then…

[Your connection has been interrupted and terminated urgently, please select whether you want to reconnect.]

“…”

[Reconnecting…]

[Connection completed, Reading user information]

[Welcome back, chaotic and evil Mo, now loading into the Realm of Innocence, Good Night]

…

Southwest of the Innocence Continent, in the Empire of Shavin

Underneath the bright star-studded sky, set in the vast wilderness, lie a field of interconnected tents.

At that moment, a figure emerged slowly from the most extravagant tent; a silver-embroidered big one – wrapped in a black cloak, wearing a half mask.

The hazy moonlight, concealed beneath a thin layer of cloud, struggled fiercely…

But, it still could not shine on his face.
