Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

After realizing the current situation, Kal'tsit almost immediately wanted to get up.

But Lu Shang pressed him down again: "Don't worry, I still haven't lifted some of the hypnosis for you yet."

「Sensory Shielding」 → 「Remove」

Kelsey: “…”

No wonder...she was saying that she had rubbed the cat for so long before, so how come she thought there was no problem.

Kal'tsit took a deep breath and thought for a few seconds whether to change her arms around Lu Shang's neck to strangling him to death.

"never mind..."

Kelsey gave up.

Kal'tsit just narrowed her eyes, looked at Lu Shang, and said, "So? The fact that I came here to find you and pulled out a chair to sit down is—"

"The fact is, from my perspective, Kal'tsit came straight towards me, and while talking, you sat on me. Oh, by the way, you just said you wanted the dessert on my left, but from my perspective, it should be on my right."

"... Then I touched the chair to make sure it was okay?"

"You're touching my leg, Kal'tsit, what else could you touch? Help me adjust the trajectory?"

"you shut up."

"It's the truth. You old cat won't let people tell the truth. Really."

030. Are you really treating me like a cat and feeding me?

Judging from Lu Shang's tone, if someone who didn't know the inside story heard it, they would probably think that Kal'tsit was being unreasonable.

So Kal'tsit simply didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Shang. After all, she didn't even have the energy to be angry anymore.

But Lu Shang seemed to be completely unaware of Kal'tsit's emotions. Not only did he still smile, he even forked a piece of dessert and passed it to Kal'tsit's mouth, saying, "Come on, ah~ open your mouth."

Kelsey: “…”

Kal'tsit didn't say anything, nor did she open her mouth.

But those emerald green pupils clearly said, "Are you really treating me like a cat and feeding me?"

"But Kal'tsit, you are a cat, and the cat-eared girl is also a cat."

Lu Shang didn't care about the death stare at all. He just spoke while changing from lying on his back in the chair to sitting up.

Naturally, Kal'tsit slid down due to her own body weight, but Lu Shang quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

Their bodies collided directly. Kal'tsit took a deep breath, perhaps because of the pain, and opened her mouth to say something.

But before that, Lu Shang took advantage of this opportunity and stuffed the dessert in his hand directly into Kal'tsit's mouth.

Kelsey: “…”

"Come to think of it, cats can't seem to taste sweetness? Forget it, that dog in Texas still eats chocolate, why should I bother with these things."

Seeing Kal'tsit chewing the food in small bites, Lu Shang picked up another piece of dessert with his fork, and brought it to Kal'tsit's mouth, saying, "Another piece?"

Kelsey still didn't speak.

Lu Shang didn't care. He just sighed and hugged Kal'tsit's waist, saying, "Sure enough, no matter how tough someone is, their body is soft when you hug them."

After saying that, he glanced at Kal'tsit.

Seeing that Kal'tsit didn't say anything, Lu Shang continued: "No matter how cold your tone is, no matter how cold your expression is, your body is still hot——"

This time it was Lu Shang's turn not to finish his words.

Because Kal'tsit lowered her head and bit off the dessert on the fork in one bite.

Then he raised his head, and while chewing, his eyes showed "Are you satisfied? If you are satisfied, then shut up."

"Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? After all, it was Kal'tsit who said it. If I really wanted to do something to you, there would be no need to use hypnosis."

"So how about a change of mindset?"

"I always feel that your attitude towards this dream world, Kal'tsit, has been a little paranoid from the beginning."

Lu Shang certainly didn't care. He was basically trapped in this dream world.

That month has passed, and Lu Shang is in a very good mood now.

But Kal'tsit is not like that. Kal'tsit is just playing badly, not being evil.

So after finishing the dessert in her mouth, Kal'tsit finally spoke: "Change your mindset? How do you change it? Accept your fate?"

"The word 'accept your fate' is so pathetic." Lu Shang laughed: "What I mean is, this is a dream world, a dream? If it's a dream, why take it so seriously?"

"..." Kal'tsit glanced at Lu Shang and said, "Even if it's a dream, dreams can be divided into good dreams and nightmares."

"Whether it is a good dream or a nightmare, it is up to you to decide, right?"

Lu Shang continued to pick up the fork and forked the dessert while saying, "For example...well, let's take Frost Star as an example."

“Froststar?” Kal’tsit vaguely remembered the name: “But didn’t you say she was dead? There is no NPC like her in this dream world.”

"That's why I said to give you an example. And don't interrupt me. Do you believe I will forcefully kiss you?"

"..."

Seeing that Kal'tsit stopped talking, Lu Shang nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Froststar's ore disease is very serious. How serious is it? Ordinary hot drinks can even burn her esophagus, and Originium techniques can also freeze her internal organs. Because of this, she can only eat a kind of super spicy candy to simulate the warm feeling."

"So--"

"If Shuangxing could also travel to this dream world, in this dream world, her mineralogy would disappear, her sense of taste would be restored, her body would recover, she would be able to drink hot tea, she would be able to eat delicious desserts, and she would even be able to feel the warmth that she has not felt in the past ten or twenty years."

"In this case, is this dream world a sweet dream or a nightmare for Frost Star?"

Kelsey: “…”

It is undoubtedly a sweet dream.

Although Kal'tsit really wants to ask what the price of this beautiful dream is?

but...

To be honest, if the price is just to be entertained or sleep with someone...

Believe me, this price is too cheap for those infected.

How cheap is it?

As long as Babel Tower releases this news, then basically overnight, Babel Tower will become the largest and most powerful force in the entire Terra, without a doubt.

Moreover, those infected people will basically turn into sharp blades. If anyone dares to touch the dream world, those infected people will really fight to the death.

"That's why I told you, Kal'tsit, why don't you change your mindset? Whether it's a good dream or a nightmare depends on your own subjective judgment."

Lu Shang passed the forked dessert to Kal'tsit's mouth: "At least in this dream world, Kal'tsit, you don't have to worry about previous civilizations, responsibilities, or even morality, because no one here will say anything to you. Moreover, Kal'tsit, you are using an NPC's body here, so what does it have to do with your body in the real world?"

Kelsey: “…”

Kal'tsit was speechless.

She was silent for a long time before she lowered her head and bit off the dessert on the fork.

Oh, it has changed from passively feeding to actively begging for food, um, not bad.

Seeing Kal'tsit's change in attitude, Lu Shang nodded with satisfaction.

But just as he finished ordering and looked up, he saw Kal'tsit's green eyes staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

"It's weird."

Kal'tsit is not a little girl who can be tricked into bed with just a few words.

So she just agreed, but her doubts did not diminish: "If you told me this when I first came here, I would believe you, but this is my third time here. Although what you said makes sense, your actions... seem to have other purposes."

"Kal'tsit, have you ever played galgame?"

"what is that?"

"A game where you have to increase the favorability of the heroine. Once you have it filled, you can go to bed with her and unlock CGs."

"Favorability?"

Kal'tsit still understood the word "favorability".

But the look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Shang was even more wrong.

So you are trying to improve my favorability?

You want not only my body, but also my heart?

"Oh, that's not true."

"That's right... Kal'tsit, you look just like an NPC with a pouty face the whole time. So I was wondering——"

Lu Shang waved his hand, revealing an exploratory look: "Kal'tsit, if you meow, it will be a very gentle and moving sound, so I have been struggling with whether to give you an "estrus" buff."

Kelsey: “?”

031. The doctor lost his memory...it couldn’t be Theresa’s doing it herself, right?

Although Kal'tsit may never be associated with the word "sweet" in this life...

But don’t you want to see it?

Look at this Kal'tsit who always has a kitten face and looks as if someone owes her money. Now she is like a little female cat in heat, wagging her tail to beg for mercy, licking your palm, rubbing against your arms, and making a touching voice...

Okay, that's a bit weird.

But it is precisely because of this that people are curious.

Anyway, Lu Shang really wants to take a look.

But Kal'tsit was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.

Improve your own favorability? Impossible.

Kal'tsit was certain that her favorability towards Lu Shang was only 0, oh, maybe even negative.

Even if a pop-up window of "Favorability +1" pops up above her head one day, it must be that Lu Shang hypnotized her.

Convinced.

So even though Lu Shang said so much, Kal'tsit had no intention of responding. Instead, she fell into deep thought because of the first topics.

"Don't be too sure, but if this is really a galgame, then Kal'tsit's probably the hardest one to improve in terms of favorability."

Lu Shang glanced at the status bar above Kal'tsit's head and knew what she was thinking.

But Lu Shang didn't care. He just picked up a piece of dessert and waved it near Kal'tsit's mouth.

Seeing that Kal'tsit looked disgusted but still lowered her head to bite it off, Lu Shang asked again: "So, Kal'tsit, what are you thinking about now?"

Kal'tsit chewed the dessert without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Shang naturally put down the knife and fork in his hand, and instead held Kal'tsit's waist, then slowly, slowly lifted her up.

Then, when Lu Shang was about to let go and let Kal'tsit fall down due to his body weight——

Slap it.

Kal'tsit stretched out her cat paw first and patted Lu Shang on the shoulder.

Judging from the strength, he probably wanted to crush all his bones.

When he looked up again, he saw Kal'tsit's narrowed death stare: "Don't move."

"Okay, okay, I won't move."

Lu Shang seemed to have succumbed to Kal'tsit's power, but he didn't stop talking: "I can't help it. Kal'tsit, you don't say anything, and I'm quite bored."

No, I see you're having a lot of fun, aren't you?

Kal'tsit sighed, and in order to prevent Lu Shang from making excuses again, she naturally spoke: "I was just thinking, since as long as I fall asleep I will travel to this dream world...what about hibernation?"
