Night World Players

Chapter 37 I promised her that I would live a good life in this world
Dean Yin stared at Hiltina for a long time with his ruby eyes.

Only after he was sure that her sincere expression was not fake did he finally wag his tail helplessly.

"Okay, I get it."

"But little Tina, let me make it clear first. I am not doing this for you. I am doing this because Rast is a very promising Night Traveler. As a mentor in the academy, I am helping him out of my love for his talent. Please don't misunderstand me."

"Of course." Xiltina smiled: "Not only as a friend, Dean Yin is also impeccable as a teacher."

Dean Yin snorted and lazily lay down on the sofa again.

Then it stretched out its little paws and fiddled with the tablet computer twice.

"Isda, I'll send you a form next."

"Don't activate Nightblade again. Just ask Rust the questions on the form."

……

Inside the psychological consultation room.

Ishtar looked at the form sent to her on the tablet, took a deep breath, and finally came back to her senses from her previous trance.

The words that Dean Yin used to wake her up seemed to contain some kind of power, which replenished her originally exhausted mental strength.

However, even if her mental strength was restored, Ishtar would never dare to use the "Eye of Secrets" again.

She suppressed her inner throbbing and stared at Last in the interrogation room through the one-way mirror, as if she wanted to imprint his face firmly in the depths of her soul.

On the other side of the one-way mirror, Last was also slightly stunned.

[You have established a new "fate", the Fool's Library: The Hermit's Long Steps has been unlocked]

[You unlocked a new card——『Hermit』Ishtar]

?

What happened to this woman?

Last had long guessed that he would be tempted by official forces in the real world. After all, any suspicious person with unknown origins and unknown background who appeared in anyone's territory would inevitably be investigated.

As a Night Traveler who possesses extraordinary powers, his methods of investigation and probing are naturally not limited to completing a psychological measurement form.

Therefore, when Ishtar revealed her identity, he quietly used mental suggestion to cut off all memories of his evil deeds in Deep Blue Harbor and playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

All that remains are the glorious memories of himself playing Batman to fight crime, helping old ladies cross the street, and being a good citizen.

Combined with his inherent skill "Heart of Iron", even though he is only at the first level at the moment, Last does not think that ordinary mind-reading skills can work on him.

This was indeed the case. He just felt that his spirit was being tempted by some external force, but it only touched the surface of his memory attic which was specially disguised, and it seemed to have triggered the backlash of the "Iron Heart".

But he didn't expect that this was just a mental test, and even though he hadn't even seen the other party's face, this psychometrician who called herself Ishtar actually established a "bond" with him.

A woman who is easy to deal with.

If every night traveler was as easy to deal with as Istar, then Rast felt that it would not take long for him to unlock the remaining 19 long steps of the "Fool's Library".

"Laster, I will ask you a few questions next. These questions may directly determine your final evaluation results."

Just then, Rast heard Ishtar clear her throat and speak in a forced serious voice.

"In the night world, have you ever lost control of your mind and your emotions?"

"I've had those moments before, feelings of loss, despair, hysteria and so on." Luster thought for a moment, "But not now. It hasn't happened in many years..."

In another room, Dean Yin sat up from the sofa.

In the left eye that looked like a blood diamond, a moon-like shadow slowly lit up.

The bright moonlight was reflected in its eyes, turning into a silver moon, slowly rotating and converging.

After a moment, the moonlight in Dean Yin's eyes gradually dimmed.

"This is the truth." said Dean Yin.

After saying this, it seemed to have expended a lot of energy, and used its furry tail to roll up a lot of dried fish and put them into its mouth.

"It happened before, but now he can completely control himself... It seems that something happened to Rast decades ago in the Night World cycle that completely stabilized his mental state."

After hearing the conclusion drawn by Dean Yin, Xiltina was thoughtful.

She couldn't help but think of the fried rice at Deep Blue Harbor Manor.

Although both the ingredients and the techniques were very ordinary, the moment when Rast was cooking that egg fried rice was the moment when Hiltina felt she was closest to the real him underneath the personality mask.

At that time he mentioned the name "Xiao Ai". Is this the reason why Last can still maintain his original heart in the long time loop?
"Next question."

In the real-time image on the screen, Ishtar received instructions and continued to ask her questions.

"You should have a general understanding of our college, right?"

"If I say that if you pass the psychological test, Starry University will invite you to join us, will you accept?"

"of course."

To Ishtar's surprise, Rast nodded directly.

Ishtar was a little surprised and blinked her eyes. "No matter what excuse you use, we still restrict your freedom and conduct psychological tests on you. Any normal person would feel disgusted by this."

"how to say……"

Last thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is normal disgust, but if you put yourself in their shoes, you can actually understand it."

"To be honest, there are so many mysteries hidden in me that even I am a little scared. If I were you, facing such a dangerous person with unknown origins, I would probably directly escort him to a prison surrounded by electric fences to be at ease."

"It seems that I am only invited here for psychological testing, which is already a pretty good treatment."

Luster smiled.

His gaze was far away. Even though Ishtar was sitting in front of him, it seemed as if his gaze was focused on some place even farther away.

"Besides, I promised someone."

“Even if I leave Deep Blue Harbor, leave the echoes of history, and come to a brand new world, I must live well and see the mountains and rivers that she has no chance to see.”

"In that case, I have no relatives in this world, and there seems to be no better place to go except to join the Starry University you mentioned."

"and--"

He paused for a moment and said, "I actually have a pretty good impression of your academy because of that Vice President Hiltina you mentioned."

"Since this is the college that Xiltina attends, I believe that Starry University will not disappoint me."
