"I should have let you do it yourself just now... I almost died!"
Vanwick patted his chest with lingering fear, trying to flip himself up from the ground, but he was so drained of strength that he couldn't stand. It was only with Sunday's help that he managed to get back on his feet.
After Vanwick stood up, March 7th asked with so concern.
"Are you okay?"
Hearing March 7th's voice, Vanwick shivered in fright, taking a step back before realizing his reaction and stiffly shaking his head.
Vanwick's performance surprised Sunday. Although Vanwick was manifested due to an accident, he was still a manifestation of Sunday's own persona. For "himself" to be this scared, what exactly did he see inside March 7th's consciousness?
Sunday was sowhat curious and wanted to try it himself, so he turned his head to look at Fu Zhu.
"I want to try it personally. May I?"
Fu Zhu hesitated for a mont, then nodded.
Sunday walked up to March 7th and raised his right hand.
"Miss March, please relax..."
In the next mont, Sunday also entered March 7th's consciousness space. As soon as he entered, he saw a woman holding a red and black umbrella walking away.
She suddenly paused in her steps and turned around, allowing Sunday to see her face clearly.
"Miss March?"
Sunday was sowhat surprised. Just as he was about to ask when she changed her outfit, he saw Changye Yue across from him suddenly close her umbrella. Several dark red jellyfish-like entities surfaced from her side and smashed straight into Sunday's chest.
"One after another... do you really think this is so casual place? Do you all think you are Fu Zhu?"
Sunday was hit directly by the jellyfish while completely defenseless. With a muffled groan, his mind retreated back to his body in the Dreamscape, and he fell to his knees on the ground, panting heavily.
Fu Zhu imdiately stepped forward to help him up, asking: "What did you see?"
Sunday gave a subtle glance at March 7th, who was looking over with a worried face, and whispered to Fu Zhu.
"Another Miss March 7th, and the other party seems to know you."
"As expected..."
Sunday stood up with Fu Zhu's help, asking in a low voice with so confusion: "'As expected'? Fu Zhu, you knew about that Miss March 7th?"
"Mhm. She calls herself Changye Yue and claims she is the real 'March 7th', but I don't trust her."
Sunday nodded in understanding. Since March 7th was right there, he didn't dare ask more.
March 7th walked over then, glancing at the two of them.
"What were you guys whispering about just now?"
A smile reappeared on Fu Zhu's face as he waved his hand.
"Nothing, just asking if Sunday's injury was serious."
March 7th also reacted, looking at Sunday with so hesitation: "Why were you hurt entering my consciousness space? Is it because of that restriction?"
"Restriction?"
Sunday looked blank. He had just gone in and hadn't had ti to investigate anything before he was beaten out. He didn't see any restriction.
He could only cast a gaze asking for help towards Fu Zhu. Fu Zhu shook his head at him, and only then did Sunday speak up to answer.
"Yes... indeed. But Miss March need not worry, I am not seriously hurt."
"That's good!"
Hearing Sunday say he was fine, March 7th patted her chest in relief.
Although Sunday was an enemy before, she was still worried that Sunday would get hurt because of her; that would make her feel guilty.
Now that March 7th hadn't recovered her mories even with Sunday's help, she simply threw the matter to the back of her mind. Anyway, there would always be a chance to rember eventually; it was better to focus on the present.
"Where are we playing next?" March 7th asked Fu Zhu excitedly about the upcoming arrangents.
Fu Zhu pondered the next move when Sunday spoke up.
"If you two don't know where to go, why not co with to Paperfold University? Paperfold University has cultivated many talents for Penacony, and the various colleges are quite distinct. It's quite suitable for a visit."
Sunday also planned to use this last period of staying in Penacony to take a good look at all the places he had stayed before, leaving no regrets.
Hearing the na Paperfold University, Fu Zhu imdiately rembered the professors Robin had ntioned to him not long ago. He felt that a trip to Paperfold University was indeed not a bad idea.
"I think we can. March, what about you?"
Upon hearing the words "Paperfold University," March 7th's eyes instantly lit up, and her little head nodded furiously.
"Okay, okay! I also want to be a youthful and beautiful female university student!"
"Then it's settled. Sunday, lead the way."
"Okay."
Sunday put his disguise back on, then walked ahead with Vanwick, leading the two towards Paperfold University.
When the group of four walked into Paperfold University, they found the campus seed to be holding so kind of festival. Lights and festoons were everywhere, stalls set up spontaneously by students filled the area, and there were also many Slumbernana Monkey dolls running around chaotically.
At first glance, one would think they had entered a monkey zoo.
Fu Zhu turned his body sideways to dodge a group of Slumbernana Monkeys running past his feet, raising an eyebrow in confusion at Sunday.
"When did the Dreamscape World start trending with these monkeys? Has Clockie gone out of style?"
Seeing Fu Zhu ask this, Sunday fell silent for a long while before replying: "I was sitting in jail..."
"..." Fu Zhu also fell silent instantly.
Just as the two were silent, March 7th beside them suddenly groaned. Hearing the sound, Fu Zhu imdiately turned his head to look, only to be t with a pair of dark red eyes and a sowhat "crazy" smile.
Fu Zhu imdiately drew [Yamato] and placed it directly against the neck of Changye Yue, who had suddenly "possessed" March 7th. At the sa ti, he snapped his fingers at her, using the [Clockwork Trick] ability given by Clockie to directly attempt to modify Changye Yue's state.
"Dazed."
Changye Yue withdrew her smile, standing motionless on the spot with a dull expression.
Seeing the Clockwork Trick take effect, Fu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked her coldly.
"Why did you suddenly 'possess' March?"
Changye Yue replied dully: "Because March encountered danger..."
"Danger?"
Fu Zhu scanned the surroundings strangely, glanced at the minimap again, and saw it was full of neutral yellow markers. He didn't see any strange nas.
Then he looked at Sunday again and continued to ask.
"Is it because of this man beside ?"
Changye Yue shook her head.
"No... those monkeys... so are tic viruses, and so are people contaminated by the virus... The virus has already begun attempting to contaminate all of you."
Hearing this, Sunday imdiately grabbed a monkey passing by him, checked it, and his brow furrowed tightly.
"Fu Zhu, what she said is true. I indeed sense a tic virus."
