After leaving the world of all NPCs

She stretched out her arms, and with an all-embracing maternal glow, she gently but firmly embraced the stiffened him.

He was surrounded by the rich aroma of wine and the unique fragrance of women.

Then, a melody like an ancient lullaby began to be hummed softly, echoing above the silent observation platform and blending into the eternally flowing twilight.

……

The warm golden light mist descending from the huge dome enveloped the bedroom.

Ye Zuochen lay on his back, his neck and head resting in a warm and soft support.

On one side was Aponia's powerlessly curled thigh, the taut and numb skin emitting a slight coolness after the red clouds faded.

On the other side was Alicia's leg wrapped in over-the-knee black leather boots, her knees slightly bent, the leather inside the knees glowing with a moist, oily luster due to friction, and the upper edge of the boots pressed against the concave curve of the leg flesh.

The back of his head rested on the plump, flaccid pillow formed by their combined thighs.

The faint light was mostly blocked by the four semicircles above.

The fingertips gently reached to the right.

A small, cold black cross, suspended from a thin white gold chain, dangled from Aponya's clothing.

His fingertips lightly touched the cold metal edge.

Cross decoration shake.

Aponya: "..."

His eyes were somewhat vacant, as if he was looking at the intricate patterns revealed after the flowing halo of light from the dome settled, but he also seemed to be taking nothing in, just poking at the cross pendant out of boredom.

After a long time, he finally uttered a word.

"Does it still hurt?"

His hand gently covered the small bulge just below Alicia's flat belly.

"hiss……"

Ailishia's pink eyes, which had been dazed at first, moved slightly, and then she smiled as gently as ever, and gently placed her hand on the back of Ye Zuochen's hand.

Her hands were smaller than his and much softer.

"It still hurts a lot, actually." Alicia said with a smile, "My stomach hurts so much from your punch. It feels like it's all twisted up inside. Especially that last punch, it felt like my heart was punched out..."

She paused, her smile deepening, radiant like a ray of light piercing through the haze. "But! Because it's just a small leaf! So it's totally fine—oh~?"

Her fingers pressed against the back of Ye Zuochen's hand, sinking deeper into the flesh of her own swollen abdomen with a soothing force.

The swollen hillock was pressed inward slightly, and then rebounded under the tenacious tension.

"But it still feels too intense," Alicia tilted her head, like a little girl reflecting on having gone too far, and said in a sincere, negotiating tone, "Next time... maybe we can try a gentler approach? What do you think, Little Leaf?"

Ye Zuochen's Adam's apple slid: "Hmm..."

"Hmm?" Alicia leaned over, easily understanding his heart. Her voice was filled with a soothing warmth that melted everything: "Little Leaf, don't feel sorry!"

Her fingertips left the back of his hand and fell on his sweat-soaked forehead. She gently pushed aside the few strands of bangs that were hanging down and blocking her view, revealing his furrowed brow.

The movements were delicate and filled with unquestionable love, like a mother comforting a child having a nightmare.

"After all, the fact that Little Leaf was able to hold on by herself until we came to love her... is already very, very remarkable~?"

Ye Zuochen's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he just turned his body suddenly.

No longer lying on my back, I now lie on my side.

His face, with its heavy, hot breath, buried itself deeply into the skin of Alicia's over-the-knee boots.

As Alicia looked at him with an indulgent smile, he opened his lips and bit the pink flower bell decoration on the girl's belt.

The silver bells the size of rice grains hanging on the petals jingled very softly.

"Hmm..." Alicia's body tensed slightly as he buried his head. Instead of pushing the hand on his head away, she stroked his sweaty, thick black hair more gently.

"Don't worry, little Leaf. No matter what kind of storm it is... Alicia will always be with you!"

Then, as if she were thinking of something extremely pleasant, her tone rose cheerfully:

"Oh right! Also, if you see a really, really pretty girl outside, Xiao Ye, don't be shy or hide. Just invite her out!"

"Just like when I see a girl who is so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off her, I will take the initiative to run over and happily ask her, 'Do you want to come with me to meet Xiao Ye Zi?'"

"It's great to meet someone as beautiful and wonderful as Xiaoye..."

She emphasized her tone of praise, and her body swayed slightly because of the pleasant imagination, causing Ye Zuochen's head buried between her legs to rise and fall slightly.

"They will be very, very happy, won't they?"

Ye Zuochen did not respond, did not raise his head, and did not make any sound.

Only as the hot cheeks sank deeper, the teeth bit the tiny pink bells, making an extremely subtle metallic friction sound.

Alicia stopped talking.

Her pink eyes drooped, staring quietly at the head resting on her chest.

The hand stroking his black hair was like combing the feathers of a young bird, soothing it over and over again with the gentlest force.

【Ding】

【Kelsey: Online】

Ye Zuochen's movements suddenly stopped, as if the pause button was pressed.

Wait, why is she here?

No, she should come too.

Ye Zuochen remembered what the doctor said. She relied on the Integration Movement to return to the Rhodes Island ship and imprisoned Priss here. So it was normal for her to be discovered by the people on Rhodes Island. What would the doctor do if he was discovered?

Now, she has given her answer.

It’s a good opportunity to complete the transaction with Ye Zuochen.

Aren’t the people delivered here?

……

Rhodes Island's massive hull is like a mountain of steel lurking on land.

Passing through the internal passage behind the heavy armored door, the cold inorganic metal texture hits you in the face.

The air circulation system emitted a low hum, a mixture of disinfectant and the slightly astringent smell unique to precision instruments.

Kal'tsit walked along the wide main aisle, the hem of her medical windbreaker rising slightly with her brisk steps, revealing the edge of her dark green miniskirt underneath.

She is tall and slender, and her 169-centimeter height casts a slightly lonely shadow in the passage.

Her light gray-green medium-length hair was meticulously combed and fell from her temples, like moss stained with a mineral layer.

The narrow corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, and the green eyes are like tempered jade.

The fair oval face has clean lines, and on both sides of the head, a pair of pointed cat ears are always moving slightly in alertness.

There were shadowy figures in the passage.

Operators dressed in various Rhodes Island uniforms came and went in a hurry.

Kal'tsit's eyes swept across the faces.

A man wearing an engineering department badge and carrying a toolbox hurried by.

Kal'tsit's gaze stayed on her face for half a second.

Is this unfamiliar person the future Rhodes Island operator?

Not far away, two young operators in the uniforms of the reserve operations team were talking in low voices, their faces filled with relaxed smiles after the training.

Kal'tsit's eyes swept over one of them.

The girl from Liberi has very distinct features.

However, Kal'tsit's brows knitted slightly.

Isn't this a fragment of the beast?

At the corner of the passage, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into view.

Amiya.

The leader of Rhodes Island, a girl from Carter's family who carries a heavy responsibility beyond her years.

She was giving orders to an operator. The lines of her profile were still soft, but the lingering childish worry between her brows seemed to be missing from Kal'tsit's memory... She seemed to be a year or two older.

Kal'tsit didn't stop, but the scrutiny in her eyes became deeper.

A figure passed by her, with white hair, red eyes, and a thick medical file tucked under his arm.

It's warfarin.

Kal'tsit misstepped, turned around very naturally, and reached out to hold Warfarin's shoulders.

"Dr. Warfarin." Kal'tsit's voice was as flat as ever, with no emotion in it.

"Hey, what are you doing..." Huafalin just said lightly.

This is the established line.

Kal'tsit was not surprised and reached out to feel around, her fingertips feeling the bone contours and muscle tension beneath the fabric of Warfarin's uniform on her shoulders.

The real touch, with the temperature and faint pulse of the human body.

The texture of the skin, the subtle distribution of pores, the almost invisible bloodshot on the whites of the eyes, the complex lines in the iris...

Visually, impeccably realistic.

One could smell the faint scent of disinfectant on Huafalin and the slightly sweet rusty scent that belonged to the blood demon's special physique.

There is no abnormality in the sense of smell.

Kal'tsit's fingers slid down Warfarin's arm and gently pinched her elbow.

Bone structure, ligament elasticity, skin's delicate texture...

The sense of touch is also normal.

Huafalin seemed to be completely unaware of the other party's series of subtle inspection movements. She just stood there, occasionally moving slightly and changing to a standby position.

Kelsey withdrew her hand, "It seems that the doctor did not deceive me."

"Indeed... such a world exists."

"The spirit can enter the body of this world, and this world is no different from reality."

Her eyes swept across the faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar. Their eyes were bright, but they lacked the soul light that came from independent will.

"It's just that all the people here are just soulless NPCs."

"Is Precious really imprisoned here?"

"besides……"

Kal'tsit didn't stop and walked towards the elevator leading to the deck of Rhodes Island.

She needed to go to the deck to confirm whether this world, which was completely consistent with reality yet completely different from it, had other decisive differences in a broader dimension.

The open deck of Rhodes Island was empty and cold.

The outline of the huge steel ship cut through the sky, but the color of the sky was a pure cobalt blue that had never been seen on the world of Terra.

Under my feet is a vast and unfamiliar land, and the terrain outlines are vaguely similar.

Kal'tsit stood at the edge of the deck, her slender figure looking particularly lonely against the backdrop of the huge ship.

His short hair was blown by the sharp air current from high above, and his lynx ears on top of his head stood up alertly, capturing every bit of information in the wind.

She stretched out her hand, her fingertips quickly sweeping across the cold bridge control screen. The screen lit up, various parameters jumped, the reactor output stabilized, and the ship-borne radar scanned the dead earth below.

The operating logic is exactly the same as that of the real Rhodes Island, and the laws of physics are applied here seamlessly.

"Strange..." Kelsey whispered to herself, "How can they be exactly the same?"

A voice came from behind her without warning:

“Because I was given a little permission.”

Kal'tsit's spine tensed instantly, she turned around suddenly, and the hair on her lynx ears stood up!
