Chapter 744: The Original Name of This Continent

As Katie spoke, she picked up the kettle on the table by the wall and poured herself a cup of steaming hot coffee.

"Rather, since everyone is already using the word 'split', then naturally it's impossible for us to be exactly the same, otherwise it wouldn't be called splitting but a clone."

...

Seeing the other party being so calm, Lan Qingyou and the others didn't know how to continue.

They were talking about clones again.

But very clearly, Katie didn't understand clones the same way they did.

Instead, she had her own set of insights.

"Then what should we call you? Esmeralda or Katie?"

After thinking for a moment, Lan Qingyou asked.

"If possible, just call me Katie."

"If it's hard for everyone to understand, then you can also treat me as Esmeralda's twin sister."

"Actually, after being split, our relationship is more like twins than being the same person."

"If you still don't understand, you can refer to the White Witches' Homunculi, it's about the same."

Facing Lan Qingyou's doubts, Katie spoke bluntly.

As if she were talking about something trivial.

Although for the two of them involved, this kind of thing truly wasn't something worth making a big deal out of.

But in the eyes of others, it was a completely different matter.

To be honest, even at the banquet before the auction a few years ago, Lan Qingyou had only taken a shallow glance at the other party from afar.

Close-up observation and conversation like this had never happened before.

But now after coming into contact, she realized that her guess was indeed correct, yet also not entirely correct.

They were indeed the same person.

But because a secret technique was used to split them, they were severed both in soul and body.

And this severing was done very perfectly.

It forcefully stripped the rational and emotional parts of a person, and then reconstructed them.

This explained why Esmeralda felt like her emotions instantly flared up after taking off her disguise.

No...

That's not right.

There's a problem with this statement.

After all, Esmeralda had been appearing in the group chat for a long time.

Face-to-face encounters only happened a few times when they went down to dungeons.

Looking at it this way, that guy had already been laying out a plan to manipulate their perceptions back then.

This wasn't some illusion magic, it wasn't even magic.

It was just simple psychological suggestion.

After appearing a few times, it made them 'feel' that Esmeralda was this kind of person.

But in reality, her personality was completely opposite.

And the Katie in front of them was very clearly the rational side.

Even if they were the same person, both their personalities and characters were different.

It was also exactly this huge disparity that made their magic power look similar yet completely different.

Honestly.

The magic power of this world truly still had many aspects that she hadn't thoroughly researched.

"Barring any surprises, a lot of those previous chats were done by you, right? Only this can explain where our previous misunderstanding of Esmeralda came from."

"Bingo! Correct!"

Katie answered in an emotionless voice, like reading from a script.

Hearing this made Olf on the side want to throw hands a bit.

But thinking that this was someone else's territory, and a massive library at that.

He suppressed it.

After all, these books looked like they had some years on them.

Some even gave Lan Qingyou the feeling that 'a single touch could turn them to ash'.

"These books... seem to be quite ancient."

Lan Qingyou casually opened a very old copy of [Basic Symbology] placed on the table.

The things inside were no longer anything new to her.

But comparing it to the [Basic Symbology] she got from the small screen back then, while it couldn't be said to be exactly identical, it was at least word for word the same.

"I collected those in this world, exactly when Esmeralda was busy inside and out on Blue Star."

...

So it was one person playing two roles, preparing for the same thing in different worlds?

After all, everyone knew the nature of The Library.

Judging by this situation, the other party must definitely have already started distributing copied books at the very beginning.

Or rather, the early ones were all printed text.

The copied versions only appeared later under the excuse of 'developing' the library.

And when the library reached a certain scale, they transitioned back to printing and publishing.

"So the guy who came to me to order a magic printing press back then was actually Esmeralda?"

Having thought this through, Olf didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That indeed helped me out a lot. Otherwise, The Library wouldn't have been able to reprint all these books so smoothly."

Katie looked at Olf.

It could be seen that she was still very grateful to this person.

After all, the so-called copying books was just putting on a show.

After gaining a certain amount of fame, transitioning was inevitable.

Although she could also request them from the Will of the World.

But given the Will of the World's weakened state, she could only endure it for now.

Fortunately, guys like Olf who liked tinkering with machinery didn't make her wait long.

Rather, it was precisely because she learned from the Will of the World that there was such an organization gathering research talents,

That Esmeralda chose to join Tarot Manor.

It was all to make things more convenient in the future.

Of course.

As the rational Katie, she definitely wouldn't tell these things to the group of people in front of her.

Firstly, it was unnecessary.

Secondly, it was because she found it troublesome.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We should talk about why we were teleported to this world."

Compared to Lan Qingyou's probing and Olf's lamentations.

Chu Yuan wanted to know the reason for being teleported to this place even more.

"Since Esmeralda sent us here to you, then you should have the answer here, right."

Hearing this, Katie was stunned for a moment.

Then she nodded blankly.

"I know, of course I know this. It's just that I didn't expect 'I' would actually directly teleport all of you over."

"I was even wondering how you guys appeared."

"To think that the emotional me has actually already learned to shirk responsibility, it's really... should I say congratulations?"

After nodding, Katie scratched her head somewhat helplessly.

"Let's put that aside for now. You'd better tell us what the Will of the World of Karim teleported us over for."

Worried that the topic would derail again, David immediately stopped any talk about 'the emotional me'.

"Alright."

Seeing this group of people so anxious, Katie shrugged.

But since her emotional self had teleported these guys over, it meant she had judged that it could be told.

Or rather, she over there should have already told them a portion of it.

She only needed to provide supplementary explanations to this question.

"Do everyone know what this continent you are currently on was originally called..."
