I'm in the Ark, a player.

Kroos was stunned.

Was that just a dream?

But she seemed to still feel some sensation in her chest.

And there was that incredibly realistic smell of Qin Tianling's blood.

Just thinking about it, imagining that sweet aftertaste, made Kroos's mouth water uncontrollably.

Is this really the kind of taste one can experience in a dream?

Was everything that just happened really a dream?

----------------

Actually, the reason I don't write erotica is quite simple.

Because I wrote almost nothing.

You might not know this, but the previous posts about forcibly kissing Chen Huijie and Suo Mositi's clues were all censored.

Even clearly humorous parodies have been censored—the scene of someone carrying a Texas cannon and doing a tap dance while slapping their butt was banned, as was the scene of Wei Yanwu brandishing his sword.

These weren't written in any erotic way at all, but they were still blocked.

At the time, I thought someone might have deliberately reported it, so it was dealt with very quickly and in a tricky way, which is why I haven't touched it much. I don't dare to write about it in detail anymore. I'm a bit afraid of being targeted, so I haven't written about it for a long time, and even when I do, I don't dare to go into detail. Please understand.

By the way, the new Arknights gacha banner is open! I wish everyone good luck getting the Flame Fox Bow and the Thunder Wolf Shield Axe.

Chapter 135, Is it a dream?

Kroos stood there, unable to recover from the lingering effects for a long time.

Because everything that had just happened was too real, so real that Kroos couldn't believe it was all just a dream.

But if it's not a dream, then what is it?

Kroos couldn't find the answer.

With a sigh, she slumped back into the chair behind her.

The chair swayed left and right as Korohir stared at the movie on the screen, but hesitated to start it.

For some reason, at this moment, Kroos was reminded of a movie.

It's a story about a weather forecaster who gets stuck on the same day while broadcasting his program in the countryside.

That's right,

Time loop,

A fictional setting that is widely known and mostly appears in movies, TV series, novels, and comics.

But Kroos felt that her recent experience was very similar to this, as if time had reversed, and she had inexplicably returned to the period before she was robbed.

Could it be that I've inexplicably traveled back in time?

How can it be,

Kroos quickly denied her conjecture.

Please, how could something so illogical and unscientific possibly happen in reality?

Kroos, have you been watching too many games and movies? Are you having a fit of chuunibyou?!

but,

What if it's true?

What if everything that just happened was real, and I just went back to before it happened for some reason?

Kroos felt that time travel was both impossible and possible.

Because everything that just happened felt so real.

It felt so real that Kroos didn't want to believe it was all a dream.

If it really is time travel...

If everything went back to the beginning...

So!

Kroos suddenly stood up again, leaning over the counter.

— Qin Tianling should be right here right now!

Mixed with a hint of anticipation, and a hint of self-doubt,

Kroos looked down at the ground.

No.......

On the floor outside the counter, Qin Tianling's wriggling figure was completely out of sight.

There was nothing.

It was just a floorboard.

"I knew it was impossible..."

Kroos chuckled self-deprecatingly, then slumped back into her chair.

So it turns out that everything just happened was just a dream?

Hahaha,

Scaring yourself

Go get a bottle of Coke to calm your nerves.

With her hands gripping the armrests, Kroos rose from her chair again and walked towards the beverage cabinet in the purchasing department.

She opened the transparent cabinet door, casually picked out a bottle of her favorite flavor, unscrewed it, took a sip, and then went back inside.

However, she stopped halfway there.

As if realizing something was wrong, she took a few steps back and turned to look at the two shelves she had just passed.

More precisely, it was the empty floor between the two shelves.

The distance between these two shelves is really too large.

"Wait, there should be another shelf here, right?"

Kroos frowned in confusion.

Yes, in her mind, there should definitely be a shelf here...

Yes, there is a shelf.

What kind of shelf is it for?

It looks like a shelf for game discs.

"Buhou!!!"

Kal'tsit!!!

Kroos's mournful cry rang out once more.

Fifteen minutes later, Kal'tsit arrived at the scene.

"You mean, Qin Tianling sneaked into your purchasing department and took away an entire shelf, along with everything on it?"

After listening to Kroos's explanation, Kal'tsit frowned.

Yes, Qin Tianling had already crawled in like maggots and walked out like a lion.

By the time Kroos discovered all this, it was already too late.

"Did you see that Qin Tianling did it?"

"No."

"Do you have any evidence to prove that Qin Tianling did all of this?"

"They disappeared in a flash, not captured on camera. It seems like they did it from a blind spot."

Kroos replied,

Before Kal'tsit arrived, she hadn't been idle; she had checked the surveillance footage.

"So, you suspect Qin Tianling was the one who did it without any evidence?"

"Yes...that's how it is,"

Kal'tsit's words seemed to have made Kroos realize that she was being somewhat unreasonable, and her eyes became unfocused as she answered.

However, she felt that this answer was somewhat inappropriate, so she added something else.

"But, but the only one who could do such a thing, who has the ability, and who has the reason, is him!"

Just as Kroos uttered those words, Kal'tsit fell into a brief silence.

Because she felt that what Kroos said made some sense.

Qin Tianling is indeed a capable guy with the right reasons to do such a thing.

After some thought, Kal'tsit finally offered Kroos a solution.

"Here's what we'll do: I'll send someone to investigate. If it really is him, I'll compensate you for the losses incurred by the purchasing department."

"?"

Upon hearing this plan, Kroos stared intently at Kal'tsit, sensing something amiss.

"Kal'tsit, tell me honestly, what's your relationship with that Qin Tianling guy!?"

Why do you have to clean up his mess after he gets into trouble?

Who is this expert?

Could he be your adopted son? Or your ex-boyfriend?

"It doesn't matter."

Kal'tsit replied without changing her expression that what she said was true.

"I made these choices based on my deep consideration. It's hard for me to explain why, but please trust my choices."

Who knows what kind of crazy thing Qin Tianling might do using the technology of the previous civilization if he angered him?

"Alright... then let's leave it at that."

--Um?"

Kroos nodded, agreeing to Kal'tsit's plan. Then her phone vibrated.

She took it out and looked at it, her expression becoming somewhat serious.

"What's wrong?"

Kal'tsit asked upon seeing this.

"It seems the goods from the purchasing department encountered some problems en route; I need to go and check on them myself."

"Do you really need to go yourself to do something like this?"

"The main reason is that there are customized parts in the goods."

The engineering knowledge of the operators who go out on field missions may not be as reliable as mine, and besides, these are custom-made parts; it's easier for me to check them myself and find out if there are any problems with the parts themselves.

"Then remember to send a few more operators. This place is quite a distance from other mobile cities. It wouldn't be good if we encountered any bandits or other wild beasts."

"I know... wait!?"

Kroos suddenly seemed to remember something, and then spoke up.

"I need to entrust Qin Tianling, an agent from Penguin Logistics, to escort me!"
