Chapter 547: Neutral Evil
"I used to be a Bai-ologist," Yu Queyue continued.
"My main job was to research that person's behavior and psychology."
"After a long period of digging through a vast amount of related information, I vaguely discovered something: the target seems to have three somewhat distinct behavioral patterns.
I called these behavioral patterns three 'personalities,' naming them the 'Good' personality, the 'Evil' personality, and finally, the 'Neutral' personality.
When the 'Good' personality appears as the dominant one, he will be relatively easy to deal with. He won't take unintentional offenses to heart, and he might even offer a little guidance to people he finds agreeable.
When the 'Evil' personality surfaces, that person will appear extremely self-centered. As long as he can achieve his goal, he won't care what means are necessary, and he will display a mild tendency towards world destruction.
Lastly, the 'Neutral' personality is quite a strange state of existence. It felt to me as if he possessed only pure curiosity about this world, completely devoid of any other emotions."
"You've said so much, so you mean he has multiple personality disorder?" Hu Lai was utterly stunned by this conclusion, almost forgetting to use encrypted communication.
"I just feel there's a tendency towards it. After all, he's done quite a few strange things over time, things that seem to have little meaning to outsiders.
He wanted to know the answer to that question, so he went and did it.
As for the decision to give everyone the choice to join the Land of White, I believe the 'Good' personality was dominant at the time. Otherwise, it makes no sense that he would make such a choice with endless future troubles, allowing billions of people who hated him to freely leave Earth."
"What about the 'Evil' personality, then?"
"Where there is light, there will be shadow. This last personality is my guess based on his past behavior; there isn't definitive proof," Yu Queyue chuckled.
"During these past few years I've spent in Hanluo City, I've been trying every day to find a possible pattern for the rotation of these three personalities.
If I can make a successful gamble, and manage to convey my conjecture into his ears when the 'Good' personality appears, and if it happens to catch his attention, there's a high chance of receiving a generous reward.
And that gift is very likely the thing I desire most.
When a great figure like him pulls out a single leg hair, it's thicker than my entire thigh. What kind of fortuitous encounter could compare to something from him?"
"No wonder you're so exhausted. So you've been calculating everything, worn out mentally and physically." Hu Lai finally understood why his friend looked so fatigued.
"Calculating against someone who can destroy heavens and annihilate earths, I commend your nerve for walking such a tightrope."
"I can't help it. Because my name is Yu Queyue, I'm inherently fated to gamble my life for one opportunity after another to leap through the Dragon Gate, otherwise, I'd just be an Ark salted fish for life."
"That can be related too?"
...
"Brother, could you... How much? Name your price." After two drinks, Hu Lai displayed astonishing facial muscle control, instantly transforming from curiosity to a smiling, puffy pig's-head-meat-like state.
"Come on, let's toast this cup of oolong tea!" Yu Queyue played dumb, clumsily changing the subject.
To be honest, this precious pattern, obtained at the risk of his life, he truly didn't want to reveal it, even to his best friend.
Because the more people who knew, the more trouble it would cause, and there might even be a reckoning later.
"Cheers!" Although he couldn't understand why Queyue called the wine in his cup oolong tea, Hu Lai, needing a favor, still downed it without hesitation.
...
"Would you like another?" After they had gone through three rounds of drinks, the curvaceous female bartender, with her captivating cleavage swaying, asked with a strut.
"Big and white cups, I want two!"
"Me too!"
"Handsome, want more?"
"Bring it on!"
"White and smooth cups!"
...
The two already half-drunk fellows quickly succumbed under this relentless, brain-addling wave offensive, completely turning into two lumps of mud.
Of course, this was also because of the Ark's agreement that rest stops and taverns were absolutely neutral zones, where no harm was allowed to come to transmigrators, which was why they dared to get so fearlessly drunk.
"Here, your reward." After the two got drunk, Lu Yuesheng, the person in charge behind the bar, appeared from backstage and had her subordinates hand a sum of money to the female bartender.
"Boss, won't this..." She skillfully hid the money on her person.
This woman also knew about the Ark's agreement; if she were caught secretly adding things to the drinks like this, it would definitely be a grave crime.
Especially since she wasn't a registered member of the Ark, but merely an ordinary person affiliated with Lu Yuesheng. If she were casually killed, there would be nowhere to appeal.
Before becoming true "insiders," the Ark's attitude towards the natives was quite condescending.
"My word is the rule!"
"Yes!" The female bartender meekly replied.
...
"What a pity. Who told you to harbor such improper thoughts?" Lu Yuesheng sighed as she watched the two, one large and one small, being carried to the bar's basement by several burly men after getting drunk.
It was common for drunken guests to be carried to their rooms to rest, so the two being taken away didn't attract any attention.
...
The next morning.
"Hey, Hu Lai, why are you sleeping in the same bed as me?" Yu Queyue was the first to wake up.
After drinking the specially concocted, doctored wine, his Fourth-Tier body experienced a long-forgotten hangover.
The large, muscular man next to him was still sound asleep.
"Get up! You punk." Yu Queyue kicked his companion twice. At this moment, he still hadn't noticed anything unusual.
"Who's the blind idiot, relentlessly... Ah, ah, ah!!! Beauty, who are you?!" Hu Lai, repeatedly disturbed, struggled to open his groggy eyes, only to be instantly sobered by the beautiful sight before him.
A girl with bared shoulders, wearing a nightgown that was more seductive than not wearing one, gently stepped on him with her feet.
"Are alarm clock services this erotic now?!"
"What beauty? You must be drunk!" Yu Queyue kicked him twice more.
Unfortunately, for Hu Lai, whose primary focus was defensive Martial Path cultivation, making him tougher than a main battle tank, this force was negligible.
"?? Isn't this a service included with the room???" Hu Lai still couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be a honey trap?!" He started to overthink things.
"Honey trap your big head! I'm asking you, why are you sleeping in my bed..."
"Who are you?!"
PS1: Promoting a book, "Wielding Swords Through the Heavens." The author guarantees with his dick that he won't drop it, hehehe.
PS2: Found a pretty interesting book, "Ascending the Galaxy." The title and synopsis are a bit pathetic, and I'm the only reader in the review section, but it's quite interesting.
