Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

But W doesn't know the ins and outs of this.

From W's perspective, Kal'tsit wanted to save her at first, but after Lu Shang said a few words, she decisively gave up on her.

"Wait--"

"Kelsey! Kelsey!!!"

"You weren't instigated by that bastard Lu Shang, were you? We are the same group! Kal'tsit!"

"Kel'tsit! Kel'tsit, say something--"

"Grass!"

Seeing Lu Shang getting closer and closer to her, W didn't bother to call out to Kal'tsit. She could only tightly grasp the dagger in her hand and shouted at Lu Shang: "You f**king horse - you f**king horse, don't come over here! Believe it or not, I will die right now to show you!"

... ... ...

... ...

...

After one hour.

"Are there any taboos?"

Kal'tsit brought a plate of dessert and handed it to W.

After accompanying Lu Shang in playing the game of "group members vs. dog managers, and then being successfully silenced, gagged, and put in a small black room by the dog manager", W was placed next to Kal'tsit's seat.

During this hour, Kal'tsit recovered some of her strength and was more than capable of carrying a plate.

But I still didn't dare to land on my toes.

Before, when Lu Shang focused all his attention on W, Kal'tsit took the opportunity to try it once.

The result was that when her toes touched the ground and the weight of her entire body was pressed on it, the excessive nerve feedback caused Kal'tsit to make a "gu--" sound and she lay on the table for a full ten minutes without moving.

After all...

Although Lu Shang did reduce Kal'tsit's sensitivity from MAX to 10%, who said MAX means the full progress bar? That only means the upper limit is MAX, but in reality it is completely overflowing, right?

So Kal'tsit now almost maintains this sitting position without moving. After taking off her shoes and socks, her two feet are dangling in the air, with her toes slightly curled up, and then stretched out completely.

From this point of view, Kal'tsit's inner thoughts are actually quite rich, but this cannot be seen at all from the expression on her face.

Well, at least W was confused.

After hearing this, W turned around and glanced at Kal'tsit. Seeing that Kal'tsit still had that cat-like expression on her face, W sneered, "Ha——" and turned his head away.

diet?

Are you talking about dietary restrictions with the Sarkaz mercenaries?

With Kazdel's current situation, you dare to be picky? I'll give you two big bastards.

"I know you're angry and think I didn't save you, but Lu Shang didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Kal'tsit was not speaking for Lu Shang, she was simply stating the facts.

Lu Shang only did three things in the past hour.

The first thing is to confiscate the dagger in W's hand.

The second thing was to tie W up with a rope into a slightly awkward posture and then hang him up.

The third thing is to hang small toys all over W.

Then it was gone.

After that, at most the floor was flooded, and... while being stared at by Lu Shang, I was counting and drawing correct characters for fun?

This may sound like a lot at first, but compared to Kelsey?

So what Kelsey said is indeed correct.

W: "..."

W now really wants to curse, "Kal'tsit, you're just watching me die without helping me, right? Then why did you save me in the first place? Just to throw me into this dream world to suffer?! If I had known this would happen, I would have just died outside!"

But W was just being sweet and not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason.

The status bar above Kal'tsit's head can also be seen with W.

So she knew that Kal'tsit was not unwilling to save her, but was powerless. The two of them were now in a difficult situation.

Although he knew it, W still felt angry.

So when W heard it, the "Huh——" sound became even louder.

But in Kal'tsit's eyes, this W looked like a disgruntled child.

This made Kal'tsit unable to help but slightly curl up the corners of her mouth.

But before Kal'tsit could laugh out loud, W, who had turned his head away, suddenly sat up straight and leaned back, as if he wanted to hide behind Kal'tsit.

The reason is——

"Hey, are you chatting?"

Lu Shang had just finished cleaning up the flooded floor and had just returned.

He immediately saw W, who was grinning at him and even giving him the middle finger madly from an angle he couldn't see.

But Lu Shang didn't care. He just pulled out a chair and sat down, then continued, "I suddenly remembered an interesting thing."

"Funny thing?"

Different from the extremely vigilant W and the Doctor who was having a lot of fun rubbing the little rabbit, Kal'tsit was able to respond to Lu Shang very naturally.

Rather, it is natural for Kal'tsit to ask so actively when there is a possibility of involving a plot that she is not aware of.

"Yes, it's interesting. Didn't we talk about it before? Five years later, the doctor who had lost his memory and insanity was pulled out of the sarcophagus by Amiya? And then, Kal'tsit, you basically kept the doctor by your side the whole time."

"Well, then what?"

Kal'tsit nodded, not surprised.

He just lost his memory. Who knows whether it will be the doctor's personality or the prophet's personality that wakes up again after losing his memory.

Isn't it normal for Kal'tsit to bring the Doctor along to observe her?

Maybe she would even speak a few riddles secretly and suddenly to observe the doctor's reaction.

But looking at his insane appearance, and thinking of the prophet who almost went crazy in this dream world... the one who rises from the coffin again in 5 years is most likely the latter, right?

So does this have anything to do with what you're saying now?

"Yes, Kal'tsit, you know what the doctor is, but W doesn't know. So when you, Kal'tsit, were walking around with the doctor and were seen by W, I wonder, what did W say about you, Kal'tsit?"

Lu Shang pointed at W and said, "Oh, yes. W first questioned you, Kal'tsit, why you stayed with the Doctor, the murderer of Theresa. Then W came to his own conclusion, saying that Kal'tsit felt that the Doctor had lost his memory and was confused about the world like a young animal, so your maternal love was overflowing."

Kelsey: “?”

Going against Tiangang, right?

Who is the mother and who loves her?

But before Kal'tsit could react, W, who was trying to hide behind Kal'tsit, was stunned and then stood up suddenly.

Wait? Who died?

"Who? Theresa?!"

038. The reason behind W's efforts to learn to read is heartwarming

Although due to Kal'tsit's intervention, the plot of Born in the Night has changed slightly: for example, it changed from Theresa saving W to Kal'tsit saving W.

This indeed caused W to give a large part of his original respect and love for Theresa to Kal'tsit...

But that's Theresa!

That is the contemporary Demon King, His Highness Kazdel, the white moonlight in the hearts of all Sarkaz——

And now you tell me that Theresa is dead?

W was visibly excited. She stepped past Kal'tsit and reached out to grab Lu Shang, "Tell me clearly! Who died? Who——?!"

"Calm down, I've already told them about this."

“Who is it! Theresa? Did you just say this name?!”

Well, it seems that W can't calm down.

There was no other choice, so Lu Shang had to raise his hand and gently swipe downwards in the direction of W to call out the interactive menu.

Then the next second, W, who was originally very emotional, seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed into Lu Shang's arms.

Reaching out to hold W's waist to prevent her from sliding to the ground, Lu Shang continued to set up her interactive menu. He looked up at Kal'tsit and asked, "Didn't you tell W about Theresa?"

"No."

Kelsey shook her head.

She already knew the plot, so she wasn't as excited as W.

Kal'tsit, on the other hand, had some leisure time and looked at W who had fallen into Lu Shang's arms.

Ah...I see.

Just now, I was held in Lu Shang’s arms like this, right?

Watching it from a third-person perspective for the first time, Kal'tsit could somewhat understand why the Doctor had been so keen on watching the show before.

But Kal'tsit was not as carefree as the Doctor, so she just looked at him for a few times before looking away, saying, "Because you only showed me the plot of Born in the Night, and I don't know what role W played in it afterwards."

"Oh, I see. In other words, Kal'tsit, you don't know whether the official released an event plot specifically to sell characters, or the official released an event plot but the content was too empty, so in order to fill the gap, they crammed W in with other supporting characters?"

Kelsey: “?”

no? what are you saying?

Lu Shang did not explain too much to Kal'tsit's puzzled look. He just nodded and said, "Don't worry, W has a lot of roles to play. She will be treated like a real daughter."

"That's right." The doctor who was sitting next to him also interrupted: "At the end of Born in the Night, W was chasing the murderer all over the world because of Theresa's death. She was very angry."

But Kal'tsit didn't respond well to the doctor's additional explanation.

Oh, you know?

Do you know why you didn’t say it just now?

Need I explain anything else?

All you do is sit there and play with Amiya's little rabbit.

But the person sitting here is the prophet after all, which makes it difficult for Kal'tsit to say anything.

So in the end, Kal'tsit just sighed and selectively ignored the Doctor. She turned around and briefly explained the whole story to W.

"Do you understand now? W?"

Lu Shang lowered his head, reached out and patted the little head of W, who was lying in his arms and still unable to move, and asked.

W was not polite. She used the two horns on her head to hit Lu Shang's stomach: "Well, I understand."

"It's ok that you understand, but you still hit me. Really? Next time I'll use your two horns as handlebars."

"..."

After Lu Shang reached out and clicked on W's interactive menu, W finally regained some strength.

She stretched out her hand and propped herself up. Although she was no longer as emotional as before, W still smacked her lips: "Tsk... your tricks are quite useful, you bastard."

Just a click of the finger and she'll be gone in seconds...

If she had this ability, wouldn't she just kill people indiscriminately?

But because of this, W finally understood that she probably really had no way to deal with Lu Shang.

So W didn't say anything about what happened just now, he just glanced down at himself and said, "Change my clothes."

"beg me."
