Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

In the real world, Kal'tsit goes to sleep first, so that she can be the first to enter the dream world and protect them.

Then Kal'tsit was the first to wake up, and was able to pull them back from the dream world in the first place.

but...

Froststar glanced at W subconsciously.

"Her?" Kal'tsit noticed Froststar's gaze, followed her gaze, and then sighed: "She'll just have to fend for herself."

It can’t be saved, it really can’t be saved.

Kelsey has done her best.

Seeing this, Lu Shang did not stop him, but asked curiously: "Why not try it?"

"Try what?" Kal'tsit looked at her warily.

"Since the words written on the body can be brought back to the real world, and the clothes with three unsettable settings can also be brought back, then——"

Lu Shang pointed at Shuangxing and said, "What if I remove all the debuffs from this white rabbit and then lock her status bar panel, or I add a blood lock setting to her and let her wear it back directly? What will happen? Don't you want to try it?"

Kelsey: “…”

Froststar: "..."

Both of them understood what Lu Shang meant.

If the panel is really locked, and I just put it back like this...will Froststar's body in the real world be directly replaced with the NPC's panel?

But after a long silence, Kal'tsit still shook her head: "We need to discuss this matter after we go back."

After all, the body is not a piece of clothing. If you add random settings to the clothes, they will break if they break. But if something happens to the body, can it be saved?

and...

Lock blood?

If the blood lock setting can really work in the real world, then...

This is a truly serious matter, and it's not something that can be accomplished with just Kal'tsit nodding her head.

"Oh, that's fine." Lu Shang didn't care: "I don't care anyway."

Seeing Lu Shang's attitude, Kal'tsit also breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Shuangxing and nodded.

"Kal'tsit (automatically finding the path...)"

Then about ten minutes later:

"Frost Star (Automatically finding the path...)"

Looking at the teacup that fell from Shuangxing's hand and scattered on the ground, Lu Shang had no intention of picking it up.

He just leaned back on the chair, then turned his head to look at the only person who was still here: "Kal'tsit and Froststar have both gone back, what about you, W?"

But the only response he got was W raising his middle finger at him.

W has been staring at her belly for a long time.

Because Lu Shang was afraid that she was illiterate, and also worried that after she returned to the real world, she wouldn't be able to call up the panel to check how many times she had left, so Lu Shang considerately... um, added a string of numbers for her.

To put it simply, the original little bat pattern on W's lower abdomen now has a number "100" on top.

In Lu Shang's words, if W is raised once, the number 100 will be reduced by 1, becoming 99, and if it is raised once more, it will become 98.

Until the number drops to zero.

"Oh, right." Lu Shang thought of something and said, "W, didn't you tell me before, 'You fucking idiot! You are not allowed to use "Forced High ○" on me! You can't afford it, right?'" Well, I am a person who listens to advice, so if I unilaterally use "Forced High ○" on you, it will not be counted in the number of times. "

"..."

W couldn't hold it anymore.

She turned her head viciously, crossed the distance in two or three steps, and pounced directly on Lu Shang, stretching out her hand to strangle Lu Shang's neck: "Then I should thank you for what you have done?! You bastard, why don't you die first!"

"But I can't die." Lu Shang said as if it was a matter of course: "If I die, the game will automatically rewind. Even if you strangle me to death now, I will still be resurrected."

"Fuck! You're so powerful, right?"

"WWhy are you so angry?"

Lu Shang regretted a little that he was not sitting on a recliner. After all, with W's entire body thrown on it and his weight riding on him, the back of the chair was really uncomfortable.

So while he stretched out his hand to open the interactive menu of the chair and changed its material and appearance, Lu Shang also said to W: "Last time, W, you beat me. You must have done that to me more than a dozen times a day, right?"

"How can it be the same?"

"Why is it different? I only added a frequency setting, and didn't add anything like you have to take the initiative. If you don't care about this setting, it will be exactly the same as before, right? It's just an extra string of numbers."

Lu Shang thought about it and suddenly realized: "Oh, or is this what you are worried about, W?"

As he spoke, Lu Shang reached out and swiped open the interactive menu with the little bat pattern.

"Glow" → "Cancel"

"Okay, look, isn't that good enough?" Lu Shang said.

The reason why the rumor about luminous shorts spread in Rhodes Island is because of the little bat pattern that glows.

Now that the glowing setting has been cancelled, who can see it unless W wears a belly-baring outfit?

At worst, you can just put a piece of plaster on your belly, or directly wear some black stockings, isn't that fine?

"So, W, why are you so angry?"

Lu Shang asked again: "Apart from the extra string of numbers, is there any difference between you now and before?"

"..."

W opened his mouth, turned his head a few times, and found that there seemed to be no difference...

That's okay.

After figuring this out, W looked at Lu Shang with increasingly arrogant eyes, and couldn't even suppress the smile on her lips: "Ha! I didn't expect you to be so stupid that you just threw away the evidence against me? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, from now on, the number on this Y-mark will be the number of times I raped you, remember that."

A hundred times, a hundred times!

073.100-7

"..."

"..."

"cold..."

Froststar opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling, and at the same time, she saw Kal'tsit standing by her bed.

She knew that it was Kal'tsit who woke her up, and she also knew that she had now returned to the real world.

but...

"cold..."

Froststar gritted her teeth and expressed how she felt now.

Very strange.

Obviously, Frost Star had long been accustomed to the coldness of her body over the years. Even though her condition had gradually worsened in recent years and even made her lose the most basic ability to judge the temperature, Frost Star did not cry out.

But it was just a trip to the dream world, feeling the warmth that she had never had before, and then when she came back to face the reality again, Shuangxing felt like she was about to collapse...

"..."

Kal'tsit saw all of this.

She wanted to say something, but finally kept her mouth shut.

"Feel sorry."

Kelsey spoke softly.

This made Frost Star slightly stunned. After all, she didn't quite understand why Kal'tsit wanted to apologize now.

But before she could ask, Kal'tsit turned around and said, "You already know the situation in the dream world. If you travel there again next time, you will be able to handle Frost Star. So let's go to the medical room and check your mineral disease first."

In fact, Shuangxing really wants to share what she has seen and heard in the dream world with her father, the Patriot.

But seeing that Kal'tsit had turned and left, Froststar just got up temporarily and followed Kal'tsit.

"..."

"..."

"Although I know my oripathy is probably quite serious, but Kal'tsit? Um... should I call you Doctor Kal'tsit?"

Frost Star's expression was somewhat subtle at this time.

She thought it was just a routine check-up, but she didn't expect that after the check-up, she was carried directly to the bed by several medical operators.

There were all kinds of instruments that she couldn't understand, and every medical operator was busy.

It made Shuangxing think that she was going to die.

"The name is just a code name, you can call me whatever you want."

Kal'tsit didn't care about the title of "doctor". She just glanced at Frost Star on the bed and said, "You should be very clear about your physical condition, so don't show that puzzled expression as if you were pressed here."

"... ...,All right."

Shuangxing didn't refute, but turned around and looked around: "Am I only allowed to lie here, or can I walk around freely? I want to see my dad."

"You may move about freely, but please cooperate with the treatment. Your father and the Patriot will be here to accompany you soon."

"Too..."

Patriot's Ore Disease is more serious than Frost Star's, so it is natural for him to be pressed on the hospital bed.

But when she thought that her dad might be like her, being carried here by several medical girls...

Frost Star felt like laughing.

Seeing that Froststar seemed unable to lie still and sat up directly, Kal'tsit nodded and said, "Finish injecting the medicine first, and then it's up to you. I have something else to do."

What's the matter?

Froststar actually wanted to ask Tallulah and Alina where they were now.

But when I think of the last suggestion made by the Dream Lord in the dream world before...

Frost Star didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded to Kal'tsit and watched her turn around and leave.

... ... ...

... ...

...

"Doctor, Theresa, and..."

Kal'tsit stood in front of W's dormitory door.

Regarding the last suggestion made by Lu Shang, after Kal'tsit came back, she immediately called the Doctor and Theresa to a meeting.

The reason why she is here now is that although she said that she let W fend for himself, she is still really afraid that something might really happen to W.

So I reached out and knocked on the door.

Finding no movement, he took out the key he had gotten from Theresa and opened the door.

Push the door open and enter.

The first thing I saw was W, who seemed to have just woken up, stretching and yawning.

"Hmm? Oh, isn't this Kal'tsit?"

W rubbed his eyes, saw who it was, and immediately started teasing: "Didn't you say you didn't care about me in my dream? Why are you here to wake me up now?"

Kelsey: “…”

No, Kal'tsit actually wanted to say that it had been several hours since she woke up.
