Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

"I see..." Arturo nodded: "But, Dr. Kal'tsit, what I want now is not to absorb emotions, but to make the seedling planted by Brother Meng grow up quickly. What should I do?"

"Go find Lu Shang."

"Oh... Doctor Kal'tsit, do you mean that the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it?"

"No, what I mean is that if Lu Shang torments you a little more, you won't have the time to think about these messy things."

196. So the emperor decided to sterilize the wolf lord Zaro

"Hiss...So, Texas, did you really go to that dream world again last night?"

No, to be exact, it was the night before yesterday.

Because the emperor stayed here and smoked all night.

Real world, Longmen, "The End of the Earth" bar.

The emperor was indeed a heavy smoker, but he also knew to put out his cigarette in front of these little girls.

But the emperor was not in that mood now. He puffed the cigar in his beak and looked through the smoke at Texas who was walking out of the room.

Texas did not disappoint it and nodded bluntly: "Boss, you have asked this three times. I am indeed in a dream again."

"I didn't watch it for just one night! Just one night!"

The emperor was so angry that he jumped up from his chair... Well, his legs were short and he couldn't jump up.

But this did not stop the emperor from taking out his pistol and shouting something about rushing to the Governor's Mansion and pulling out the dragon whiskers on Wei Yanwu's dragon head.

That Wei Lao Er! He ruined its good deeds!

If I had known, I would not have accepted this commission.

The emperor had a good idea. He gave Texas a home and a group of friends. Now that he has new friends, how should he build good relationships with them? Young people should go out more and have fun.

At first, Sora and Croissant didn't want to participate at all, but were dragged over by the Emperor.

Then?

Then what the hell! I even dreamed about Texas!

But I'll settle the score with Wei Yanwu later.

After yelling for a while, the emperor suddenly calmed down.

Because it is more concerned with another thing:

"Weren't you unable to enter the dream world before?" The emperor asked Texas, "Then how did you enter the dream again last night... no, the night before yesterday?"

What was the reason for Texas's first dream?

Seeking death and survival?

Then why did you go in again the night before yesterday? Texas, you are not going crazy again, are you?

"No."

Texas is not a bad person.

So before the emperor could think about it, Texas denied it bluntly: "That dream master told me something about the future."

"future?"

The emperor was puzzled.

It is the Lord of Beasts. Although the Lord of Beasts cannot be said to be as long-lived as the sky, it can also be said that he is immortal.

With it, what could go wrong?

money?

Penguin Logistics was built specifically for Texas. The Emperor's main job is a rock star, record producer, and entrepreneur in Columbia. Money? Plenty.

So what could go wrong in the future that would warrant pulling Texas into the dream world again?

and--

"You didn't sleep last night?"

The emperor looked at Texas, who was sitting on the sofa and pouring himself a glass of water, but couldn't hide his sleepiness and yawned lightly, and asked this.

Texas naturally nodded when he heard this, but he didn't say why.

if not?

This was the third time she had been in the dream, and the dream master was going to eat her.

The fact that she had entered his dream again had made the emperor smoke all night. Now, if he added the fact that she had been eaten, wouldn't he have collapsed?

That's why Texas deliberately separated these two things.

So Texas just continued, "The Dream Master said it was Zaro, the Wolf Lord."

Texas is not like in TV dramas, where people just say "I'm fine", "Nothing happened", or "Don't ask" when asked.

The emperor asked, and she told.

"Zaro? That bastard!"

Sure enough, the only one who can cause a beast master to get into trouble is another beast master.

But how dare that shameless Wolf Lord Zaro do that?

"Okay, okay, Texas, don't worry, tomorrow... no, today! I'm going to Syracuse right now and sterilize that bastard Zaro!"

Texas heard nothing.

She was not surprised by the emperor's efficiency, but suddenly remembered something.

The emperor wants to kill Zaro, the wolf lord. What about Lappland? Didn't the dream master say that Zaro has become Lappland's dog? If Zaro is gone, what will happen to Lappland?

But speaking of Lapland...

I don't know where she has gone now.

"Oh, right, before I go out to hunt dogs, Texas, can you tell me more about that dream master? Did he say anything else?"

The emperor spoke, interrupting Texas's wild thoughts.

But anything else...?

Texas thought for a moment and said, "Dream Master wants me to live well?"

"what?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then he reacted: "That guy just said this, and you think he is a good person, Texas? I tell you, that guy must have deceived countless girls with this kind of words. Texas, you better keep your eyes open and don't be fooled."

Those mumbling words reminded Texas of Lu Shang's evaluation of the emperor: "like an old father who has endured hardships."

So even Texas couldn't help but chuckle after seeing this -

"Good morning, everyone!"

"Morning... I'm still so sleepy... Can you, angel, not feel tired at all?"

"When I think about the party soon, I'm so excited that I can't sleep."

"Are you an elementary school student from somewhere who is looking forward to the spring outing?"

Chirping and lively.

Exia, Sora, and Croissant also came out of the room.

The three of them walked towards this side while chatting.

Seeing this, Texas and the Emperor naturally stopped their original conversation.

After all, according to the "Dream Rules Notes" that the Emperor got from Rhodes Island, one of the ways to enter the dream world is to know the existence of the dream world.

So naturally I had to keep it a secret from those three people.

"Good morning, Texas. Ah, and good morning, boss."

After a simple greeting, Angel of Power ran over excitedly and asked, "Texas, Texas, did you get enough rest yesterday? If you did, let's go to the party!"

No, I stayed up all night.

Although Texas wanted to say this, she also knew why the Angel was so looking forward to it.

In the words of Archangel, "We successfully broke through the enemy's encirclement, and then surrounded them from both sides with the Guards, and wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop. This is a complete victory. Isn't it worth celebrating?"

But Texas' performance yesterday was a little... well, unusual.

So he rejected Exia's proposal on the grounds that "Texas was not feeling well".

Now that we've had a whole day off, we should be able to have a party, right?

So Texas looked at the shining Angel with a little expectation. He always felt that if he rejected her again, Angel would squat in the corner with a sad face and draw circles.

"Okay." Texas said again: "If you want to have a party, choose this place. There's a lot of space behind the bar."

"Great!"

Seeing the Archangel's joyful expression, Texas turned around and nodded to the Emperor.

The emperor waved his fins upon seeing this, as if to say, "Let children play with children, don't meddle in adult affairs."

"That's right, Sora-chan, you sang really well last time, did you practice?"

“Ahahaha…thank you for the compliment~”

"It would be better if there were more rock elements. Your lyrics are a bit too corny, Sora-chan."

"... ..., I take back my compliment."

noisily.

Watching Croissant bring melons and snacks with the same insignificant presence as always, watching Exia and Sora fight for the microphone——

Texas also snuggled down on the sofa and couldn't help but yawning softly.

Sora’s singing voice is nice, but too nice. It lacks the rock elements that Angelica mentioned, and it is indeed a bit sleep-inducing.

No... Sleeping is one of Sora's Originium skills, right?

So after thinking about it, Texas didn't resist the sleepiness. Following Kong's beautiful singing, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After all, when I open my eyes again, I will see the dreamer, right?

197. When I woke up, I saw W singing, howling like a ghost

To be honest, the situation in Texas is actually similar to that in Arturo.

The only difference is that because Arturo has nothing in her heart, she can treat things that are "immoral", "not allowed" and "should not be done" to normal people as if they were eating and drinking water.

Because she doesn't have the moral values ​​that a normal person should have, so what if there is a flood? She doesn't care at all.

Texas doesn't care either.

But Texas' "not caring" is more about post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, caused by witnessing relatives killing each other and the destruction of a family.

To this end, she abandoned the past and denied the future.

She is only obsessed with the "now".

Will the three dreams have any impact on her current life? No, Texas doesn't care.

Would being eaten by the Dream Lord make her current life worse? No, then Texas doesn't care.

Look, it's like this.

So this is why, the last time Lu Shang took advantage of her, she didn't resist at all, not even a symbolic resistance.

Rather, it is better to say that because of the so-called bad taste of Lu Shang's "spoiler", it actually helped Texas to eliminate the possible "future" and stabilize the "present" in a sense.

So much so that Texas now feels that even if he has entered the dream three times, there is actually nothing wrong with it.

Her mentality is too convenient for Lu Shang.

But she is a wolf after all, not a dog.
