Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

So in a moment, W, who had originally raised his hand, fell headfirst onto the table with a thud in the next second.

W was completely stunned and couldn't move.

"Woo——"

“What the hell…what’s going on…?”

"Wait... No... This feeling is... I'm being fucked—"

"Stop—huh?!"

049.W and Theresa are the most interesting when they are together, aren’t they?

Empathy.

The Shakota are the race of the extremely popular character, Angelica.

This group of angels can sense each other's emotions through the halos above their heads. Although they can't read each other's minds, they can...

It is still possible to empathize to this extent.

For example, if Angelica were here right now, she would know that someone is being pinched. That person's emotions and feelings, the momentary blankness in his brain, and the feeling of suffocation like a fish lacking oxygen, all of these can be transmitted one-to-one through empathy.

Even if the one who is poking is an angel and the one being poked is also an angel, then what is transmitted through empathy is happiness x2.

But if you ask Angelica why that person was punched...she doesn't know, after all, she can't read minds.

But even so, will this kind of setting really not cause any problems in the real world?

The answer is generally no.

Those angels are religious after all, and they are super pious.

Coupled with the ability of empathy, you can actively choose to turn it on or off.

So unless there is a lunatic among the group of angels who wants to shout "Come and see! Come and see! I'm going to be fucked! Live broadcast!", the first thing all Sakotas do before having sex with others is to turn off empathy.

"But unfortunately, your empathy switch is in my hand."

Lu Shang had no intention of giving the right to choose to W, otherwise W would definitely reach out and forcibly tear off the halo above her head and throw it in Lu Shang's face.

"Look at other Kal'tsit. The moment they saw me take out the halo, they knew what I wanted to do."

"You are the only one standing there, foolishly trying to touch the light bulb."

"If you have read a few history books, you will know what this halo is used for."

Under normal circumstances, W would definitely say something like "What's wrong with me not having any education? Did I eat your rice?"

But unfortunately, the fact that W could hold back her sobs was a testament to her strong will.

“It’s empathy after all.”

"W Do you think that what you are feeling now is only the current state of the NPC "Vishdale"? "

"Wrong, before you came here, I had been playing with this NPC for a long time. Although the NPC will not have any reaction, her progress bar will still increase."

"So, in the past few hours, how many times has the progress bar of this NPC reached the MAX, and how many times has the sensitivity been stacked? All of them will be perfectly transmitted to you through empathy, one-to-one?"

Lu Shang's words were not only an explanation to W, but also an explanation to Kal'tsit.

After all, W's tail was stretched straight and swung like a whip. He fell on the table, unable to move, with his body curled up and his toes tightly gripping the insole.

Compared to the last time Kal'tsit was sunk by one hit...it's no less serious.

"It's still a pity though. It would be better if Theresa came."

Lu Shang sighed.

This made W stunned. He gritted his teeth and tried to force himself to get up, but failed.

Because Lu Shang followed up with another sentence: "After all, the correct way to play this empathy should be when you and Theresa are alone, you should turn on the empathy, and then you have to endure it desperately in order not to be exposed, but in the end you were discovered by Theresa. Facing Theresa's worried questioning, you could only sob and say that it was okay, nothing happened. As a result, the next second after you finished speaking, you, in front of Theresa..."

"Woo——"

Before he could finish his words, W banged his head on the table.

I don’t know if W’s imagination is so good that she really put herself into such a scene, or if she thinks Lu Shang is misleading people and would rather die than listen.

As for whether it is the former or the latter...

“Hmm…” Lu Shang thought for a moment and said, “Come to think of it, isn’t it quite similar now? Do you need me to remind you? Theresa and the Demon King, those two NPCs, are watching you from behind.”

"..."

With a thud.

Kal'tsit, who had remained silent throughout the entire process, suddenly felt as if someone had kicked her.

When Kal'tsit looked down subconsciously, she saw that the high-heeled shoe belonging to W had somehow come to her feet.

Kelsey: “…”

Does this scene look familiar?

A rerun of the event, right?

The only difference is that the last time someone sat in the W position was Kal'tsit, and the last time someone sat in Kal'tsit's position was Doctor.

To be honest, even though I've said before that it's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die...but Kal'tsit always feels that it's better to try to save him again?

and so--

"Reading and writing...W has already arranged it. As for the words used in dealing with people..."

What Kal'tsit meant was that next time she comes over, she should try to make W be more polite?

At least this kind of thing like "Are you not afraid of death? Then I'll help you" won't happen again?

But when Lu Shang heard this, he looked at Kal'tsit in surprise: "Ask W to be polite? Her? If she really was polite, it wouldn't be that interesting."

A female devil, eloquent, sarcastic, and a fun person, these are W's labels.

The good thing is that she can give you an attack speed buff anytime and anywhere, okay?

It would be really boring if this W really became polite.

"And you don't know, Kal'tsit, that in a world full of riddlers, only W speaks her mind directly. She says fuck*mother and fuck*mother, without beating around the bush. This is W's shining point."

"..."

I think...W probably doesn't want this damn shiny thing.

But at this moment, W, who had taken several deep breaths, slowly stood up, then glared at Lu Shang with gritted teeth: "Fuck you!"

Kelsey: “…”

It’s over.

There is no hope, just wait for death.

Kal'tsit felt that she had tried her best, she really had.

But what can I do...Alas...

“What the hell!” W looked like he was going to explode with Lu Shang, and said viciously: “Ha! Isn’t it just empathy? What’s the big deal! That’s it? Ha? That’s it! This little noise is not even enough to tickle me!”

Oh, yes, yes, yes. I don’t know whose shoes flew towards me just now.

"Come on!" W raised her hand tremblingly, as if she wanted to give me the middle finger? "What can you do to me, you bastard? Look, I'm afraid--"

Before he could finish his words, W fell silent.

It wasn't that Lu Shang did something to her, but W suddenly discovered a horror story:

The NPC Theresa beside her moved.

050. Theresa: WAre you okay?

Pupil earthquake.

W was completely dumbfounded. If she hadn't seen the NPC Theresa showing a very human confused look, W would have thought that Lu Shang was deliberately scaring her.

But... Did Theresa really travel to this dream world?!

After reacting, W and Kal'tsit moved almost at the same time.

W suppressed the sobs in his throat, pulled off his coat, and threw it towards Lu Shang.

Kal'tsit also stood up almost immediately and changed her seat so that she could block Lu Shang.

The next second after they finish doing this——

"Um...where is this?"

Theresa turned around with a confused look on her face.

She clearly remembered...

"Kal'tsit...? And...W? Hmm...I see, is this the dream world you've been talking about?"

The Babel trio... no, including the newly joined W, it should be a four-member group.

W has traveled through time three times, Kal'tsit four times, and Doctor...not to mention Doctor, who comes here every day.

As a result, Theresa heard them talk about the dream world and what happened in it every day, but Theresa was the only one who had never been there.

It seemed as if some small group was ostracizing her.

Okay, just kidding.

However, compared to Kal'tsit's first time, which started with a weird talk about the rules, and W's first time, which started with a horror story, Theresa's start was really beautiful.

There was neither fright nor persecution.

So no matter how nervous Kal'tsit and W were, Theresa was like a curious baby, adapting to her NPC's body while turning her head to look around.

"It's exactly the same as the real world. Hmm... I remember this is the control center of Rhodes Island, right?"

Theresa recognized where this place was and asked curiously, "W? The NPC you and Kal'tsit often talked about? Where is he? Can I see him? And that Mr. Lu Shang... Hmm? W, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

W: "..."

Mom sells batches.

W has a swear word he really wants to say.

Isn’t the current plot a perfect replica of what Lu Shang just described?

But unfortunately, in Lu Shang's description, W at least could say that everything was fine, but now...

"Woo..."

W tried to speak, but only sobs came out of his throat.

You fucking Lu Shang! Don't do that now...

"Alas--"

"cough."

Kal'tsit timed it very well and successfully covered up the sound of W with a cough.

Because of the cough, Theresa subconsciously turned her head to look at Kal'tsit.

“I’ve told you many times... Theresa...”

Kal'tsit glanced at W, who was almost lying on the table again with a red face, sighed, and said, "The dream world is very dangerous. Can you feel it? What is your current physical condition?"

"I know it's dangerous... But didn't you, Kal'tsit, also tell me that it should be no problem for my first time here? And, according to you, Kal'tsit, I was able to survive thanks to Mr. Lu Shang, right? I want to thank him in person."

No, you don't know at all.

You haven't experienced it, and you don't have any real feeling just by listening to what we say, so of course you only remember the good things about Lu Shang.

But Kal'tsit didn't say anything.

After all, when Kal'tsit knew that Theresa's NPC had been refreshed in the dream world, she knew that it was only a matter of time before Theresa traveled through time, and she was mentally prepared.
