Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

So what's the situation now?

Could it be...the miracle of Yelagund?

dong dong.

It sounded like a knock on the door, or also like the sound of slamming the door, which woke Chu Xue up suddenly.

She turned her head and saw that the door handle of the dormitory door was turned twice, but it seemed to be locked and the door was not opened.

So just when Hatsuyuki was wondering who was outside the door——

"The dormitory door of 'First Snow' (locked)"

A translucent pop-up frame appeared on the door handle.

「Unlock」←

"Open"

"Lock Picking"

"destroy"

There was a click.

The door opened.

"Is it because I didn't open Kjerag's Recollection Room? The first snow actually spawned in the operator's dormitory." It was a strange male voice: "But that's not right. Sintreya's little platinum was clearly spawned in the cafeteria."

"I was also in the dormitory when I first came here." Another unfamiliar female voice: "But I read in the manual compiled by Kal'tsit that you should scare every victim who comes. Aren't you going to scare this first snow?"

"First Snow? I have to see what time period she was in. If she was after she became a saint, then it won't be too late to scare her later. If she was before she became a saint...oh, before she became a saint, she didn't use this code name for First Snow. She still used her real name, Enya. How should I describe the First Snow of this period...well, she's similar to you, De Gouzi."

"Looking for death?"

"That's not the case. De Gouzi, you want to die yourself, but Chuxue... because of her beloved brother, she is very resentful and wishes others to die."

216. When the time comes, tell your maid that you will overthrow the tyranny of Yelagund together.

The visitors were naturally Lu Shang and Texas.

While Lu Shang was explaining, he opened the door.

When I looked inside, I saw the person sitting on the bed, with a confused look on his face, just like every victim who has just entered a dream for the first time.

"Here, look, a cheese snow leopard."

Lu Shang took a look and pointed at Chuxue with a smile.

This is not a joke, because just like the prototype of Texas is the wolf, the prototype of the first snow is also the snow leopard.

After introducing the race of Chuxue to Texas again, Lu Shang walked into the dormitory and said casually, "Hey, you're here? Still wrapped in your fur coat? Aren't you feeling hot?"

First snow: “…”

Chuxue's confused expression was not fake, she was really a little confused.

Who are you? Who is she?

But Chu Xue was not deaf. Just now, Lu Shang not only called out her name directly, but also spoke roughly about the saint. Even her brother... seemed to know everything clearly.

This... is like a god who knows the power of the past five hundred years...

Could this man be Yelagund?

But that's not right...Hatsuyuki remembers that Yelagund isn't a female?

Could it be the woman next to the man, who was called "De Gouzi"?

But Texas didn't even enter the door. He just leaned against the door frame with a cold expression on his face, as if asking, "What does it have to do with me?"

Seeing this, Chu Xue pondered in silence for a long while.

Until she saw Lu Shang raised his hand towards her, although he clearly didn't touch her, Chu Xue just felt her body lighten. When she turned her head, she found that her waistcoat and coat had disappeared out of thin air.

"..."

At this moment, Chu Xue stood up expressionlessly and bowed to Lu Shang again: "God Yelagund...Are you our god?"

Chu Xue was really performing a great ceremony, kneeling down and prostrating herself.

Although Hatsuyuki looked respectful, but——

"First snow (cursing in my heart...)"

"First Snow (I feel disgusted with the position of Saint...)"

"First Snow (Burns with rage due to desire for revenge...)"

The three status bars that popped up continuously above Chuxue's head not only made Lu Shang laugh, but even Texas next to him had a subtle look on his face.

She seemed to understand a little bit why Lu Shang wanted to confirm the time point of the first snow.

This resentment is really huge...

If I try to scare her without any reason, won't Chuxue stab me with the same attitude, "If I don't live well, you won't live well either", right?

"Even if Chuxue gives you such a generous gift, I don't have any New Year's money to give you." Lu Shangdao didn't think of taking advantage, but said bluntly: "I'm sorry, I'm not your Yelagund."

"you are not?"

Chu Xue raised her head immediately after hearing this.

Look, this snow leopard doesn't show any respect at all.

"Yes." Lu Shang nodded with a smile: "The people here believe in the Se Se religion, and I am the leader. According to the rules, a little girl must be offered to me every year. Look, you are being offered as a sacrifice, aren't you?"

First snow: “…”

Seeing that the snow leopard didn't react at all and instead acted in an emo state the whole time, Lu Shang roughly determined when the first snow would fall.

But to be safe, Lu Shang still spoke up to confirm: "It's just a joke, why don't you laugh? You don't have any sense of humor. But I still want to ask you first, Chuxue, are you a saint now?"

"Saint..." Chuxue muttered to herself twice, and then asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with what you are saying now?"

Yes, of course.

If this Hatsuyuki has become a saint, then Lu Shang can play something like "You didn't expect that, Hatsuyuki, the little maid next to you is actually Yelagund himself!"

What if Chuxue hadn't become a saint yet? Who knows if she would go up and kill the wolf Yelagund directly after she knew the truth in advance?

But there are ways to play even if you don't become a saint.

"I... am not a saint." Chu Xue thought for a moment and told the truth: "Do you know about the future?"

"Hmm? Ah, right, right." Lu Shang heard it and followed Chu Xue's meaning and said, "I just said it, this is the Sese Divine Religion, and as the leader, I have the ability to drag people into dreams."

Although Hatsuyuki is not so naive as to point at the TV and say, "There is someone talking in this little box."

But with Kjerag's level of technology...it would be too difficult for her to understand what is a dream and what is reality.

So it would be better to use "the power of God" to make her understand.

As Lu Shang thought, Chu Xue nodded in understanding when she heard it: "The power of the gods... pull people into dreams? I understand, but you... why——"

"Why did I choose you, Chuxue? Oh, didn't you just say that I can know the future? Since I can know the future, it is reasonable to plan ahead, right?"

As Lu Shang spoke, he waved to Chu Xue and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the future."

Well, actually I just opened a Kjerag's recollection room.

But Hatsuyuki doesn’t know.

In her eyes, there was just a flash of white light, and then she got off a super large ship and returned to Kjerag.

There, she saw many familiar people. When she saw that everyone ignored her, and even Lu Shang could do whatever he wanted to those people and those people would not resist, Chu Xue became more convinced that this was the power of God.

Then--

"Look, this is Yaer."

Lu Shang brought Chuxue all the way to the top of the snowy mountain. Here was the holy place of Kjerag, the residence and workplace of the saint.

At this time, Lu Shang was pointing at a woman with black hair and blue eyes, who exuded the charm of an older sister, and said, "This is the little maid who will accompany you after you become a saint, Chuxue. This little maid is extraordinary. In addition to your brother and sister, Chuxue—"

"I don't have a brother."

Hatsuyuki suddenly interrupted.

This made Lu Shang glance at her, then he smiled and nodded: "Okay, anyway, apart from your family, this little maid is the person you are closest to and trust the most, Chuxue. She has been with you since you became a saint."

"Always...?"

When Chuxue heard this, she, who was already lacking in love, couldn't help but be moved.

She raised her head and looked at Yaer carefully, as if she wanted to remember her.

"Yes." Lu Shang turned back and said, "So, when Chuxue becomes a saint, if you have any sadness or complaints in your heart, you can tell this Yaer. She will never betray you, otherwise Yelagund will slap her in the face."

"Can you tell me anything...?"

"That's right. Even if you, Hatsuyuki, say something like, 'Yelagunde is such a scoundrel. She caused me so much suffering. If I ever meet her, I will make her my maid and obey my orders,' or 'Ya'er, let's rebel, shall we? Overthrow Yelagund's tyranny and rebuild a church. When we succeed, I will let you be the new Yelagund,' that's fine."

Texas, who had been silent the whole time and just watching the show, couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard it.

Because Hatsuyuki might have been hypnotized and couldn't see the status bar above his head.

But in Texas' eyes, she saw it too clearly. Above the head of that "Yaer" was clearly an ID of "Yela".

Yela and Yelagund...what a coincidence, they have exactly the same name.

217. First Snow: Lu Shang, Good, Brother, Bad

Lu Shang did not choose to use the popular movie-watching format to increase the running time of "First Snow".

The only two stories involving Kjerag are "Snowstorm" and "Silver Heart Lake Train".

It was okay in "Snowstorm", except for Yela's self-explosion at the end. Only when watching it from a third-person perspective will you have the feeling that "this little maid named Yaer...is there something wrong with her?"

But when it comes to "Silver Heart Lake Train"? My goodness, Yela doesn't even pretend anymore, she's just short of saying that she is Yelagund himself.

So in order for Chuxue to be able to backstab Yela better and more successfully in the future, the plot involving Yela must not be shown to Chuxue.

And Hatsuyuki herself is here again, and the plot involving her is a pantomime with no one on stage.

So much so that after removing these two people, the remaining plot...

"If you want revenge on Hatsuyuki, you only need to target Brownie... No, the Brown Tao family."

Lu Shang talks freely:

"Kjerag's authority is a regular triangle."

"At the top is the god, Yelagund."

"Well... Hatsuyuki, you will definitely not be able to move in the short term."

"Then there is the Saint and Manzhuyuan located in the middle of the equilateral triangle."

"The saint is easy to understand. It's you, Chuxue. You are second to none and above everyone else."

"And the Manzhuyuan... hey, it is a subordinate elder group of the Shelagh religion, similar to the clergy, responsible for taking care of the saint's daily life and religious activities."

"But what we like to see is that the elders of Manzhu Academy are the kind who say "XX may ____, but will never ____", and then quickly sideline the Saint, forcing her to hand over her real power and turn her into an obedient puppet, becoming a tool for Manzhu Academy to make money."

"As for these elders, Chuxue, you don't need to worry about them. They won't do anything. If you are really angry, you can hang them all on street lamps to offer sacrifices to the gods. If the elders make trouble for you, Chuxue, you can ask your maid Ya'er to help you beat them up."

"Finally, there are the three great families that form the most solid foundation of the equilateral triangle."

At this point, Lu Shang couldn't help but laugh.

Equilateral triangle...It turns out that Yelagund is Hatsuyuki's man, Hatsuyuki herself is a saint, and she was selected from the three major families. What equilateral triangle? Hatsuyuki alone occupies three parts.

So when he said this, Lu Shang turned his head and looked at Chuxue, then he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, rolled up the paper tube in his hand, and knocked it towards Chuxue's furry little head: "Chuxue, I'm talking to you about the power structure, are you listening to me?"

"Eh...? Ah, I'm listening, I'm listening..."

After being hit on the head like this, Chu Xue naturally had to sit up straight and pretend to listen attentively.

But she tried hard at first, then weaker, and finally exhausted. Well, Chuxue didn't sit up. She fluttered a few times, tried for a while, then gave up and lay back comfortably.

It is certainly not Chuxue's nature to act like this.

It would be better to say that Chu Xue was really angry at the beginning. When he saw a familiar NPC, he gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to kick him.
