"While you're still wearing your clothes, do you want to go somewhere else? How about going to see that elder Kal'tsit?"

"... ...,what ever."

Kal'tsit didn't bother to pay attention.

She couldn't walk because of her weak legs, so wasn't it Lu Shang who had the final say on where to go?

So when can she wear it back?

... ... ...

... ...

...

beep - beep - beep -

In confusion, Kal'tsit vaguely heard the sounds of medical equipment around her.

So even though she hadn't opened her eyes yet, Kal'tsit knew that she had most likely traveled back through time.

Then, between half asleep and half awake, Kal'tsit finally discovered something was wrong.

When exactly was she hypnotized?

She was basically with Lu Shang the whole time, right? And she could also see the interactive menu interface.

Logically speaking, if Lu Shang wanted to hypnotize her, he would have to first open the menu, click "More+", then select "Hypnosis" in the "Status" column, and even select the type in the "Hypnosis" column.

It's such a tedious step, there's no reason why Kal'tsit wouldn't notice it, right?

But the fact is, if Lu Shang hadn't told her, she wouldn't even know about it.

"Kelsey...?"

"Kelsey, are you awake?"

"Why...why hasn't she woken up yet?"

The call that rang in her ears successfully interrupted Kal'tsit's wandering thoughts.

So Kal'tsit had to open her eyes and look at Theresa who was anxiously looking beside her, and...well, the Doctor was wearing a hood, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly.

"Kal'tsit! You're finally awake!"

Seeing this, Theresa came forward and said, "Are you okay? Do you need to rest for a while? Have a good sleep...uh..."

No, it seems that Kal'tsit has just come back from the dream world. If we let her take a nap and rest for a while, won’t she have to travel through time again?

"I am fine."

Kal'tsit spoke up and helped Theresa out of the predicament.

She tried to get up, and after making sure that her legs were no longer so weak that she couldn't even walk like in the dream world, Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief and sat up from the bed.

I took the coffee handed to me by the doctor, took a sip, and sorted out my thoughts for a while.

During this time, Kal'tsit lifted her skirt and took a look under the subtle gazes of Theresa and the Doctor.

After seeing that there was indeed another "正" mark on her thigh, Kal'tsit frowned and put her skirt down.

After resting for a while, seeing that Kal'tsit seemed to be fine, the doctor asked, "What happened to you in the dream world this time?"

"In the dream world...?"

Upon hearing this, Kal'tsit subconsciously looked up and glanced at the Doctor.

Then there was a long silence, and Kal'tsit turned her head away: "... ..., don't ask."

PhD:"?"

It’s hard to tell even if you ask.

Once I saw the Doctor's face...well, I couldn't see the face.

Anyway, Kal'tsit will always think of the insane doctor in the dream world.

as well as--

Before Kal'tsit came back on, Lu Shang was still whispering in her ear that he was going to play with Doctor tonight.

Now that you've put your clothes back on, Lu Shang must have already carried you, Doctor, to the bed.

So it’s really hard to say.

But the others...

"That's pretty much it."

Kal'tsit picked out some of the things she could say: "What I can be sure of now is that Lu Shang is a man who probably knows everything about the past and the future, and...his personality is extremely bad."

The last sentence naturally refers to hypnosis.

Kal'tsit did not hide it. After all, if Theresa and the Doctor also traveled through time, she would at least let them know that Lu Shang had such perverted methods.

only...

"Um... Kal'tsit?" Theresa hesitated for a long time, but decided to ask: "Since you know that you were hypnotized... then why don't you ask Lu Shang directly on the spot what exactly has changed your cognition?"

As a result, in your words, your reaction at that time was just "I was hypnotized?! Oh, I'll be more careful next time"?

018.W: At that time, Kal'tsit rushed over like a superman and asked me if I knew how to change my clothes.

It's impossible that you think you know nothing. It's better than having a falling out with Lu Shang and saying, "Since you know everything, I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to do whatever I want to you, hehe", right?

If you know nothing, you can do whatever you want to them; even if you know something, you can still do whatever you want to them.

With Kal'tsit's personality, she would definitely think that since they are all the same, she might as well use this to obtain important information.

How come you didn't ask any questions?

"... ..., yes... Why didn't I ask at that time?"

It was not until this moment that Kal'tsit realized that her reaction in the dream world was "Forget it this time, I'll be more careful next time."

If Lu Shang heard this, wouldn't it mean "I won't let you succeed next time, but this time, you can play with me however you want"?

How could Kal'tsit do such a thing?

Could this also be due to hypnosis?

"Well... there's more."

Seeing Kal'tsit in deep thought, Theresa added, "Kal'tsit, you just said that the gentleman from Lu Shang wiped the sweat off your thigh with a tissue before writing with a marker, right?"

"Yes." Kal'tsit nodded. She didn't think there was anything strange about this. "Is there any problem with this?"

"Yes, Kal'tsit, weren't you held by Mr. Lu Shang the whole time? You didn't walk or exercise, and from what you said, the temperature in the dream world was quite suitable. So... why were you sweating?"

"Sweating is not normal..."

No, that's not right.

unusual.

Kal'tsit is no longer in the dream world, she is back.

So after Theresa's reminder, Kal'tsit immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Oh, Kal'tsit, you said that Mr. Lu Shang was holding you like a princess, right?"

Theresa stretched out her hand and demonstrated the gesture.

"Mr. Lu Shang was holding you and both of his hands were occupied... uh... how did he manage to free up one hand to take off the doctor's hood?"

As she spoke, Theresa gestured to show the doctor's height and the position of his head.

Although she is not as tall as Lu Shang, she is definitely not short.

But in this situation, Theresa had to raise her arms to touch the doctor's head.

"So... Mr. Lu Shang either lifted you, Kal'tsit, up and took off the doctor's hood, or..."

Theresa stole a glance at Kal'tsit and asked tentatively, "Kal'tsit, are you sure...Mr. Lu Shang, are you really holding you in a princess hug?"

Kelsey: “…”

Oh, it's over.

Kal'tsit fell into a state of doubt about her cat life.

"..."

Looking at this situation, Theresa and the Doctor looked at each other and felt that it would be better to let Kal'tsit calm down alone.

But just as the two of them were about to leave and were planning to get some cat food for Kal'tsit... No, they were going to get some delicious food and drinks for Kal'tsit to rest,

Theresa even asked the doctor with some confusion: "Doctor? You seem to be a little quiet recently? What happened? Are you worried about Kal'tsit? Or are you worried about the dream world?"

"I..."

"Oh, and Kal'tsit actually said that Mr. Lu Shang knows the past and the future. Can he predict the future? Or... well, I don't know if Mr. Lu Shang knows what's going on here."

"..."

"Doctor? Why are you silent again?"

Theresa didn't know what the doctor was thinking.

Moreover, the Doctor wore a hood all year round, so her expression could not be seen clearly.

Although Theresa has the ability to passively sense other people’s emotions and read their minds...but——

"Oh right... plot."

Kal'tsit suddenly woke up from her state of doubt about her cat life.

She seemed to have temporarily forgotten what happened in the dream world, raised her head, and looked at the doctor who was about to leave: "Doctor...there are some things I want to ask you."

Regarding the plot of Born in the Night...Kal'tsit hasn't forgotten it yet.

... ... ...

... ...

...

It hurts... it hurts a lot... it hurts so much...

W always feels that if Ines, the stubborn, bad-tempered, and arrogant little lamb, wasn't by her side, and the enemies were all killing her...

If she were alone, W felt that she would definitely scream out in pain.

Why the fuck does it hurt so much? Am I going to die here?

W cursed in his heart.

Unfortunately, an hour ago, W's team was ambushed.

If this shameful Ines hadn't fainted, there was no way W could have stayed with her for so long.

Now, I saved her life, but when Inès woke up, she didn’t even say thank you.
