Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

The two of them crossed their fingers, took elegant steps, held each other's waists tightly, and danced together.

Perhaps due to the bumpy steps, Arturo's forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat.

"At first, I actually planned to let you dance a solo, Miss Arturo, and not let you notice the existence of the audience until your curtain call."

"Then Brother Meng, you... woo——"

Arturo leaned back slightly as he danced, but was pulled back by Lu Shang the next second.

"Because I saw your tight dance steps now, Miss Arturo, and realized that I could achieve the same effect."

"Hehe...hehe, so this is your revenge, Brother Meng?"

"If this is revenge, then from the beginning, Miss Arturo, you won't be able to go on stage, okay?"

"Is that so? I thought that Brother Meng, you didn't attack me backstage because you were being gentle with me."

"Be gentle with women? That's not what you said when you grabbed my hand backstage and asked me to tune the strings for you, Miss Arturo."

"Oh, yeah, I was quite distressed at the time. I would rather think that it was because I had no charm, and I didn't think it was because of you, Brother Meng."

Lu Shang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

The two kissed and the song ended.

But Lu Shang didn't let go of Arturo's hand. Instead, he took her and gently spun around: "Can you dance on ice?"

Before Arturo could reply, Lu Shang took her hand and started dancing.

He held Arturo's waist, threw her high into the air, and then let her fall heavily.

Until Arturo clamped his legs around Lu Shang's waist, was led by Lu Shang to spin around, and his backward waist was pulled back again,

Seeing her open mouth and breathing silently, Lu Shang smiled and said softly, "A pampered young lady? This song hasn't ended yet. If you can't continue now and feel tired, call me good brother and I will end the song early. How about that?"

"Good brother..."

But the next second, Arturo, who was about to fall back but was pulled back, suddenly smiled like a flower: "I was just kidding you, my dear brother Meng, so you lied to me and called you brother because you really like being called that? Then you better work hard, your dear bad sister, do you still have the energy to say bad things about you?"

As we all know, bad women and female ghosts can add buffs to people.

The difference is, female ghosts will beg for mercy, but bad women won’t.

So one song, two songs, three songs, four songs -

Until the sweet sweat dripped down, until the two of them would trample on some water with each dance step,

Until it changed from a solo dance by two people to a trio and then a dance by four people.

Until Arturo began to lose consciousness.

At this point, the song ends.

But while waiting for the curtain call, Arturo, who should have been tired like a sloth, hanging on Lu Shang and unable to move, but she held on to her last bit of strength and gently put her little head close to Lu Shang's ear.

"Brother Meng..."

Arturo spoke softly, with a smile that could not be hidden:

"I lied to you... I... I actually... didn't fall asleep while lying... on the bed... I was... lying in the bathtub... The water level... is probably almost reaching my neck now..."

"So...Brother Meng...what should you do now...? Continue to lie to me...? Then I...will die in reality..."

"Will you come to save me...? Hehe...hehehe...I'm waiting for you..."

177. The one who came to kick the door was not your brother Meng, but my little Bai Jin!

"Think about it, at least your brother Meng just gave you a buff of "Underwater Breathing", right?"

Real world, Casimir.

At this time, Xinteleia was standing in the hotel room, looking at Arturo who was sitting on the bed in a duck sitting posture and in a daze.

How could you just leave a suicide note and then commit suicide?

When she was still in the dream, her eldest daughter Zofia was frightened. When she returned to the real world, Zofia immediately asked Xinteleya to come and rescue people.

Xinteleya naturally rushed to the hotel as fast as she could, kicked open the door of the guest room, and then -

Hey, this Arturo isn't lying in the bathtub, she's actually sitting on the bed.

Even the bed sheets were not as Arturo said, that they were soaked with water and not yet dry. The sheets were clean. The windows in the room were even opened for ventilation and aromatherapy was lit.

Xintela understood at once that this little girl Arturo was up to no good.

Arturo probably expected that her dear brother in her dreams would rush over to save her, but when she kicked open the door, she found Arturo sitting on the bed alive.

Arturo could even tilt his head, blink his eyes, and say with a smile: "Brother Meng, you came to save me? But I'm sorry, I lied to you again. How could I bear to commit suicide before seeing you, Brother Meng? But seeing how anxious you are, I'm afraid I must be very important to you, right?"

What matters is that the person is bad, flirtatious and irresponsible.

But looking at Arturo's dazed look, she knew that her expectations were shattered.

That’s right, the one who came to kick the door was not your brother Meng, but my little Bai Jin!

Xinteleya is indeed a little happy now.

She has nothing to do and she can get overtime pay. If she spends a little time here, it can be regarded as paid vacation. How can she not be happy?

So Xinteleya rarely said something nice to Arturo, the bad woman:

"Although I don't know where you got the courage to provoke your dear brother Meng,"

"Your brother Meng was in a good mood, so he only gave you the "Underwater Breathing" buff."

"But if your brother Meng is in a bad mood, he might give you three buffs, such as "blood lock", "paralysis", and "pain conversion". "

"If you really lie in the bathtub, as soon as you come back, you will first be unable to move due to the "Paralysis" buff and sink to the bottom. Then all the pain caused by drowning will be converted. Finally, you can't die because of the "blood lock". At that time... the water in your bathtub will probably rise instead of fall."

It was really a lot of ups and downs.

When I think about what kind of terrible scene Xinteleya will see in the bathtub when she arrives...

Gee tut.

Arturo: “…”

This was indeed her mistake.

Because the first three times had just followed ordinary scripts, Arturo had never expected that her dear dream brother would have miraculous abilities.

Brother Meng...is he the God?

Arturo is from the Lateran, and the Lateran is the most influential religion in this land, so it is natural that she would be curious about Lu Shang, who possesses miracles.

But she turned around and looked around: "Brother Mengao...didn't he come?"

"No."

Looking at Arturo Lily in front of him, who was obviously a size smaller in the real world than the mature older sister in the dream world—

Xinteleya coaxed without any guilt: "If you stay here for a few more days, maybe your dear brother Meng will come to see you."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, right, right."

If you stay here a few more days, I can get more overtime pay.

But just as Xinteleia finished speaking, Arturo looked up and looked at her with a smile: "But... Sister Xinteleia? Your heart... doesn't say that, right?"

Back in the real world, Arturo's Originium skills can be used again.

From the beginning, the desire in Xintlia's heart has been continuously conveyed to Arturo.

"Sister Xinteleya, you are both afraid and looking forward to it,"

"why?"

"Let me guess."

"You are afraid that Brother Meng will come to reality and make you completely confuse reality with dreams."

"You can do whatever you want in your dreams. I think there must be some way for you to throw off the shackles of reality... psychological suggestion?"

"But... Sister Xinteleya? Don't you realize that you are actually starting to get confused?"

"It seems to me that Sister Xinteleya, whether in reality or in dreams, your personality, words, and behavior are gradually becoming more consistent, right?"

Xintelaiya: "..."

Yes, because it went too smoothly.

From having a backer when she applied for the position of Zofia's maid, to being promoted to a personal maid and never lacking money, to Qingjin Dawei being beaten up by an unknown kind-hearted person, and now she doesn't even have many jobs in the No-Head Alliance.

This went so smoothly that Xinteleya felt like she was dreaming, but she knew that if she really regarded this as a dream, she would probably die unclearly.

Xinteleya cherishes her life very much.

For this reason, until now, the first thing Xinteleiya does every time she goes to the dream world is to ask Lu Shang for a psychological hint, even though she already knows that this psychological hint is actually useless.

But she had to do this, she had to let her know that "dreams are dreams, reality is reality."

But now... it was directly exposed by Arturo without any care.

"Oh... Judging from your reaction, I seem to have guessed it right. I'm sorry. So, to make amends, do you want me to play a song for you, Sister Xinteleya?"

As he said this, Arturo actually stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to take her cello.

This made Xinteleia react almost subconsciously, and she immediately took out her bow, pulled the string to its full length, and aimed it at Arturo.

But what was visible was Arturo's smiling face: "I was just kidding, Sister Xinteleya, but... it's really funny. I seem to understand why Brother Meng likes to tease you so much."

Xintelaiya: "..."

"Okay, now Sister Xinteleya, do you still want me to stay?"

Xintelaiya: "..."

Xintelaiya now has reason to suspect that Arturo is taking his anger out on her, the innocent little platinum, because he didn't see her dear brother in his dreams when he woke up.

Tsk...it seems like it’s not easy to get overtime pay.

178. Who is kind enough to give me a ride? Ah, it's the Angel.

Arturo left anyway.

After all, with her personality of wanting to play a song for everyone she meets, no one really wants to keep her.

So after checking out, Arturo now stood on the outskirts of Casimir, carrying her cello and luggage, looking left and right.

She wanted to see if there was any unlucky person...Oh, no, she wanted to see if there was any kind-hearted person who could give her a ride.

In the dream, her dear dream brother said that she finally went to Rhode Island, where they met for the first time.

Although meeting... maybe her dream brother was lying to her again, but it was indeed necessary to go to Rhodes Island.

Doctor Cat-Head, His Majesty the Demon Lord of Kazdel, the Hooded Man, and the American Cockroach.

Most of the friends she saw in her dream were on that ship.

So the only question now is whether there is anyone kind enough to give her a ride.

Crash.

An SUV whizzed past her.

The dust that was rolled up in the sky made Arturo cover his face with his hands and cough a few times.

But when she cleared the dust and looked up, she saw that the SUV that was supposed to have passed was reversing all the way back.

At first Arturo was a little confused, but until the SUV stopped in front of her and she could see the driver in the driver's seat clearly, Arturo suddenly understood.

"Hey! Fellow countrymen!"

The one sitting in the driver's seat was a red-haired woman with a halo on her head, Sakta, who was looking at her and yelling, "Look! I have a halo, and you have a halo too, so little sister, are you Sakta? Why are you here? I've driven so far, and this is the first time I've met a compatriot in the wild!"

Arturo: “…”

What does it mean to encounter it in the wild?
