Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

Well, it is also possible that Theresa has an eye disease.

"..." Kelsey pondered for a while before saying, "If that's the case, then Theresa, why do you still say you don't know?"

"Because if I am really in the body of an NPC now, then I should be completely powerless and as weak as a girl, right? But——"

Theresa raised her hand slightly, and a black crown appeared on her head: "But I am still the Demon King, and I can still use "Continuation of Civilization"."

Even as she spoke, Theresa stretched out her hand, and a pitch-black sword appeared out of thin air in her hand.

With a slight wave, the stone round table was split into two like tofu.

"My strength is still there." Theresa said softly: "So... I really don't know what state I am in now."

Kelsey: “…”

why?

The power did not disappear, but the panel was locked and the invincibility cheat was activated. Kal'tsit should be happy now.

But it's not reasonable...

A bug?

"Two possibilities."

The doctor walked into the conference room, glanced at Theresa, and said, "The first type is that the NPC is a 100% copy of a real person. The NPC has the same power as the real person, but it is suppressed in the dream world, or it cannot be used."

Why is it suppressed? Why can't it be used?

Everyone thought of Lu Shang at the same time.

Or, Lu Shang did it on purpose. Since he can lock your panel, then it should be easy for him to lock your skill bar, right?

Or, just like the title Kal'tsit gave him, Lu Shang is indeed the Lord of Dreams.

In the dream world, Lu Shang is a local emperor, and all the people under his rule cannot turn their swords against him.

Kelsey: “…”

Lu Shang said before that he would become a timid leader, like an emperor, and he would need to be offered a beautiful girl every day...

It turns out to be true?

"Then there is the second possibility. The world in the dream is not a dream at all, but another real world. It can be a parallel world or an inner world."

"The so-called locked panel is actually the two worlds eroding and merging with each other. The different bodies of the two worlds will merge into one."

"This way, Theresa, you will have both a healthy body in the dream world and the power of the real world."

Kelsey thinks the second possibility is more likely...

Because she suddenly remembered the garbled code she saw when she woke up.

as well as...

"Doctor?" Kal'tsit shrank back: "You are... a little too excited?"

"Ah, that's right." The doctor admitted directly: "Because Kal'tsit, you said it, right? You saw Amiya in the dream world."

"Amiya? How did she--"

Wait?

The Amiya in the dream world is not the little carrot-head in the real world, but the devil rabbit with a black crown on its head.

What if Amiya traveled to the dream world, and then Lu Shang locked her face, and then she came back...

The lock panel must be locked by the Demon Rabbit, right?

What about the black crown on the Demon Rabbit’s head?

Can you bring it back together?

If it can be brought back... then in this real world, there will be two "civilizations" existing at the same time.

For a moment, Kal'tsit and Theresa looked at each other, and then looked at the Doctor beside them.

It was obvious that the three of them had their own thoughts.

In such an atmosphere——

"Two worlds? Erosion? Fusion?"

W, who had been quiet for so long, seemed to be listening to a foreign language. He muttered for a long time with a confused look on his face, and then clapped his hands: "Oh, so it is possible for that bastard Lu Shang to come to the real world? Where? Damn! I'm going to break that bastard's pelvis while I sit on him!"

Theresa: “…”

Kelsey: “…”

PhD:"... ..."

Well, the atmosphere is all gone.

Also, you are a mercenary, and your way of revenge is not to beat him up, but to have sex with him?

you...

Forget it.

Kal'tsit sighed and ignored W. Instead, she turned to look at the doctor: "Doctor, don't be impatient. Considering the age of the NPC Amiya in the dream world, it will take several years. And we also need to verify which possibility it is, right?"

Now I am not 100% sure that the dream world is actually a parallel world.

After comforting the doctor, Kal'tsit turned around and looked at Theresa, saying, "What about you, Theresa?"

"Me? Well...it's just like what Mr. Lu Shang said."

Theresa stood up and said, "First, let's end this meaningless civil war."

... ... ...

... ...

...

"Name."

"Hintlea."

"..."

I couldn’t ask any more questions.

In the real world, Casimir, the Whip Knight's manor.

The Whip Knight, Zofia, was sitting in her little garden at the moment, enjoying a wonderful afternoon tea served by many maids.

It should be like this...

But holding the resume of the person in front of him, he looked up and saw the pony in front of him who was outstanding in both appearance and figure...

Zofia almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face. "Let me ask again, Miss Xinteleya? You sent me your resume and want to be my maid?"

097. Xinteleya became a maid for Zofia

"Yes."

The pony, Xinteleya, answered Zofia's question with a cold and aloof look: "I want to be your maid."

Sofia: “…”

No, you don't look like a maid at all.

With a forced business-like smile, Zofia asked the question that concerned her most: "Why? Give me a reason."

"Reason?" Xinteleya repeated, tilting her head. "What else can you work for? To make money. Is it because you love your job?"

"..."

Okay, I can't hold it anymore.

Before the formal smile on her face collapsed, Zofia took a deep breath and said, "Working, huh? Earning money, huh? Sure, your appearance does meet my standards. The probation period is one month, with food and accommodation provided, but no salary. Do you agree?"

"it is good."

"Okay?" Zofia was not a black-hearted capitalist to begin with, and this little horse's word "ok" made her feel helpless: "You are okay with this kind of unfair terms?"

But Xinteleya said as a matter of course: "Because of the meal package, I have no money to eat."

"...Okay, head maid, take her over."

Zofia waved her hand casually and asked the head maid to take Xinteleya away.

After Xinteleya left, Sofia threw the resume in her hand and reached out to the butler beside her.

So the butler handed over another set of information.

What a ghost.

After all, Zofia is a knight with a title, and also a branch of the Linguang family.

Could it be that she didn't understand all the twists and turns of Casimir's plan?

"Xintelaiya was discovered by a scout from the Rose Newspaper Company after graduation and won the runner-up in the knight audition that year."

"He was defeated in the title battle and was subsequently recruited by the Wuzhou Alliance."

"And now, he is the current platinum leader of the Wuzhou Alliance."

This morning, when Xinteleya suddenly appeared at the gate of Zofia's manor, the information about this platinum throne was immediately presented to Zofia.

Because at first, Zofia thought that Xinteleya came with a mission from the No Helmet Alliance. After all, the current Linguang family...

But the results were also seen.

It turned out that Xinteleya was here to be a maid.

"You are a Platinum Lord of the No Heroes Alliance, and you come to be my maid? Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

Sofia was speechless.

And the reason Xinteleya used was still lack of money.

Are you fooling the devil?

"And... even if you really came here on a mission from the No Helmet Alliance, could you at least use an alias? What's the point of using your real name? Could you at least give me some slack?"

Zofia put her hand on her forehead and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

Just like how Zofia finally kept Xintelaiya as a maid, Zofia now firmly believed that Xintelaiya came to cause trouble with the mission of the No Helmet Alliance.

That was good, keeping the platinum throne by her side was better than exposing her niece Maria to danger.

But what mission did Xinteleiya, the Platinum Lord, come with? Could it be that the Wuzhou Alliance wanted to attack the Linguang family?

But Zofia is not the only one who has this doubt——

"The Platinum Lord, went to be a maid for a little knight? What is she doing?"

The Wuzhou Alliance is an inverted triangle.

There are three people who are the strongest in Xuantie.

Qing Jin is next, with two people.

Platinum is the weakest, there is only one person.

The one who spoke now was the woman named Monique among the two Blue Gold Great Ones: "What mission did you give her?"

"No."

Unlike Monique who was just a worker, the man named Roy spoke in a rather unreliable way: "And that's not a little knight, it's a branch of the Linguang family. Linguang family? Little Pegasus went to be a maid for the Whip Knight."

"Does it make any difference?" Monique frowned. "Have you asked Bai Jin? What is her reason?"

"Lack of money."

"Lack of money?" Monique was even more puzzled: "Isn't the salary of a platinum lord very high? How could she be short of money?"

"Because it was deducted." Roy plucked the bowstring.

“Who deducted it?”
