"So what do we do? Just let that guy off?" Rope egged them on, looking like she enjoyed watching drama unfold.
Kanna waved her hand. "What else can we do? To be honest, Sephyrin, that old man, is actually not bad. As the highest administrator of such a large city, he's quite human. It's a pity his son isn't great; he's too cold-blooded. What a waste of the dream feast Weedy and Gloria prepared."
"Speaking of that dream, I remember Weedy and Gloria were discussing it mysteriously before, but as soon as I got close, they stopped talking…" Rope's ears twitched slightly, looking quite interested.
"You're a Cautus, not a Feline. Why are you so curious?"
"Of course you're not curious, since you know! A mysterious dream that can be controlled—it sounds like fun, no matter how you think about it!" Rope pouted.
"Hmm, then why is there a Fount Pony flying in mid-air?" Kanna suddenly asked, looking at something in the distance with a puzzled expression.
"Where?" Rope turned around but saw nothing. Just as she was about to ask, her head spun, and she collapsed.
Kanna supported Rope, who she had successfully ambushed, and showed a strange smile. "Want to know what's in the dream? Then go see for yourself! Weedy, Gloria, time to work…"
When everyone returned to their tents that evening, they saw Kanna, Gloria, and Weedy happily playing 'Fight the Landlord.' On the other side, Rope lay on her bed, looking utterly dejected, her eyes vacant, as if she had just experienced a life-or-death separation.
"What happened to Rope?" Anto, thinking Rope was sick, nervously pulled out her stethoscope, ready to examine her.
"There's… no need to worry. She should be fine…" Kanna, the culprit, stifled her laughter.
"Rope-jie wanted to know what the dream spell Gloria and I prepared was, so Kanna-chan let her experience it…" Weedy didn't see any problem with this, as the dream contained no physical or mental harm to the subject. For her, Kanna's request was more like a game.
"Ah!" Nian, who knew the general content of the spell, looked at Rope with pity. The more passionate and faithful a person was, the greater the effect of the spell.
Even a normal person would be depressed for a while after experiencing this dream, let alone a child like Rope, who had climbed up from the bottom and finally found a better life.
"Let her rest well. She should be fine by tomorrow…" Nian patted Anto's shoulder, then walked over and sat down.
"Didn't you say this spell caused no harm? Why does Rope look so devastated?" Folinic walked to Rope's side, reached out and touched her forehead, then did a quick check, finding that, just as Kanna said, Rope had no physical problems.
"It's just a simple multiple-choice question. It's just that if you put yourself in the situation, you'd probably end up looking like that…" Kanna, feeling a little guilty, picked up her cup and took a sip of hot milk.
"Can I try it?" As a Doctor, Folinic felt that if she experienced it herself, she might be able to find out why Rope was so upset. "Well, it's not that I don't want to, Folinic-jie, but you have a very strong sense of justice. I'm afraid you'll be even worse off than Rope if you go in…" Thinking of Folinic's personality, Kanna didn't dare let her try. After all, Rhodes Island only had two Doctors. If one was lost here, and things didn't get better by tomorrow, the guilt would be immense.
"Sense of justice? The more you say that, the more interested I become…" Folinic, who had only been slightly curious, became even more intrigued after hearing Kanna's words.
"Alright, don't blame me if something goes wrong," Kanna shrugged, then motioned for Weedy to cast the spell on her.
Ten minutes later, Folinic woke up with vacant eyes, looking as if the world should just end and she didn't want to live anymore… Seeing this, Kanna couldn't help but complain, "Tsk, just this, just this… Her mentality is too weak…"
Seeing Anto's eyes light up, Kanna waved her hand. "No, we need to keep at least one survivor. Otherwise, if you all can't get up tomorrow, should I or Weedy treat all those patients outside? What would we say then? That our two Doctors were accidentally injured by our own spell and couldn't get up? We'd be lambasted to death…"
Watching Folinic lie peacefully beside Rope, Anto clicked her tongue in regret, only wishing she had been faster and Folinic hadn't beaten her to it. If she had known this dream was so interesting, she would have rushed in to see it herself… Fortunately, the next morning, Folinic bravely stood up. Although she was still a bit disoriented for the first half of the day, she was much better by the afternoon, and no accidents occurred throughout the day, which brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
That evening, Anto, using Folinic's recovery as an excuse, eagerly demanded to try the spell herself.
Being extremely kind and loving life, she was clearly even less suited for this spell. After waking up, she lay in bed for a whole day before recovering. The patients outside, upon learning that two Rhodes Island Doctors were alternately ill, were deeply moved, believing it was due to their high-intensity work during this period.
Even Sephyrin, who had been unwilling to meet with the Rhodes Island group at City Hall, had Tatyana bring many nutritional supplements to thank the two Rhodes Island Doctors for their dedicated efforts for the Infected of Wolumonde during this time.
Rhodes Island couldn't very well say that their doctors' poor condition was entirely self-inflicted. Kanna could only internally grumble, "Curiosity killed the Feline," and then forcibly made the Feline Mousse, who, after seeing her predecessors fall, adamantly refused to "enjoy" the spell, experience it, causing her to gloriously collapse in front of everyone.
As for Gloria, as one of the spell's researchers, she was the perpetrator and not counted among the "curious" Felines… After learning that the main process of this dream was personally crafted by Kanna, and that Gloria and Weedy were merely tools for Kanna to realize the spell, Kanna cemented her status as the "Great Demon King" within the team, being called the "Little Hungry Dragon who toys with hearts."
Kanna shamelessly accepted this title. Not only did she accept it, but she was also filled with inspiration, and with Weedy and Gloria, she created several more outrageous ones.
Everyone who had fallen victim once was respectfully unwilling to try these "dreams." Only Nian was quite interested in them, saying that these dreams contained countless inspirations waiting for her to develop.
