kidnapping
Alina had only fallen asleep a short while last night when she was awakened by an exceptionally vivid and unsettling nightmare, so terrifying that she couldn't fall back asleep.
This dream was not only visually realistic, but more importantly, it didn't feature him in his cute kitten form, but rather in his giant snow leopard form, the form he would definitely transform into for battle.
Such realistic details made her heart flutter uncontrollably.
Last night, she finally managed to calm down and closed her eyes to try and fall asleep, but she couldn't sleep at all. As soon as her vision went dark, the image of black and red blood mixed together would reappear in her mind.
She tried everything she could, but in the end, she only managed to drift into a light sleep by buying her little darling a whole bunch of warm and comforting clothes.
Alina closed her eyes tightly, raised her wrist, turned on her personal terminal and checked the time. It was 5 a.m., still a long time before she was supposed to leave at 8 a.m.
Lifting the thin blanket that offered only a faint warmth, Alina knelt on the bed, assuming the standard elven prayer pose:
On the great Mother Tree of Spirits, may you protect your child and bring her loved ones back safely.
Last night's nightmare was like a slap in the face, instantly making the elf, who had been absent-minded and dazed for the past few days, realize that she did not simply regard the little cutie as a pet or battle pet.
He was her family, the family who had been with her since the beginning of her transmigration. He was someone she knew rationally that magic would protect her and that nothing would happen, but emotionally she still couldn't control the nightmares and constant worries that followed.
Alina wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and nose, but didn't go back to sleep. It wasn't just because she couldn't sleep; she also knew from the previous night that her sleep quality was likely poor, so she scheduled a delivery robot for 6 a.m.
Even though Alina had slowed down her preparations, only 20 minutes had passed by the time she was all tidied up and ready to leave.
Alina pulled out the desk and chair, and skillfully reached for the notebook in front of her. The pure black ink had a slight color difference between the edges and the middle, with the middle being lighter in color, as if the ink had been rubbed off.
The paper beneath her fingertips was uneven. Ever since the day her little darling left, she had thought more than once about how the two of them could communicate smoothly.
It should be even more harmonious than before.
Alone in a completely unfamiliar world, with her magic power sealed and her body weak, Alina felt no shortage of fear and dread as she was watched by countless strange races as she made every move.
However, he didn't show it at all.
Of course, the prospect of her magic being restored and the companionship of her little darling gave her a lot of security, allowing her to maintain a normal emotional state.
Both are indispensable.
Not to mention, the little cutie's existence is also related to the restoration of her magic.
Time seemed to drag on endlessly. Alina didn't know how much time had passed, only that the delivery robot still hadn't arrived. She put the notebook back in its place.
Shouldn't she study during the day too?
This way, I'll have less overthinking and my head won't hurt so much.
She opened the language learning app; with just 10 more lessons, she would be able to complete the intermediate course. After that, as long as she doesn't pursue a related major or work in a related industry, and only needs it for communication, it will be more than enough.
She can master one lesson a day by studying only at night, but if she spends more time studying during the day, she can finish learning the theoretical knowledge in less than a week.
As her thoughts gradually immersed themselves in the ocean of knowledge, Alina's absent-mindedness decreased dramatically.
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"
The doorbell rang, awakening the spirits swimming in the ocean of knowledge.
"They're here."
Although she knew that the outsiders were robots, Alina still gave a polite response.
“Give it to me,” Alina said, opening the door and holding out her hand.
"It's a bit heavy, let me put it in for you."
"I suggest it," the robot, carrying a huge package, suggested, its electronic eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Okay, thank you."
This package is indeed quite large. Did she unconsciously buy so much last night?
A question flashed through her mind, and at the same time, Alina skillfully closed the bedroom door.
She usually doesn't rush to close the shop when buying other things, but this time the items were pretty dresses for her little cutie. Because of the anxiety she felt last night, she bought dresses with heavy workmanship and eye-catching colors.
It's really inconvenient for the viewers in the live stream to see this.
Most importantly, hiding the fact that the adorable little beast form was wearing a little skirt was one of the conditions I agreed to when I persuaded him to change his clothes.
The robot intelligently moved the package to the sofa, then obediently took two steps back, and a soft, cute electronic voice announced: "Your package, please sign for it~"
"take over."
Upon finding keywords related to receiving a package, the robot continues the process: "Please look directly at the camera and activate iris recognition verification..."
"Package pickup successful. Have a nice day! ^_^"
The robot rolled away almost silently, and Alina, whose attention was focused on the package, didn't notice that the delivery robot's exit was a little slow this time.
Press the delivery open button, and the top of the package automatically opens, revealing neatly folded clothes of various colors inside: "So pretty."
Alina's tone was complimentary.
Then he reached out and took out the clothes one by one, admiring them as he piled them all on the sofa.
I'll throw them all into the washing machine and let them churn.
"What is that?"
When there were only a few items left, Alina noticed a small bulge in the middle of the package.
I feel... I feel a little dizzy?
Her rose-colored eyes suddenly became misty, and her entire mind seemed to relax to the extreme in that instant. The next second, Alina realized something was wrong and pinched her thigh hard, while quickly reaching out to grab the remaining clothes from her bag.
"mouse?"
The voice, which had been loud and surprised, sounded weak and feeble due to the effects of the medicine.
Before Alina could even cry for help, the rat leaped out of the package, and a strong, colorless and odorless smell assaulted her nostrils.
Alina instantly lost consciousness.
Before losing consciousness, she had only one thought in her mind: So this is what it feels like to be drugged.

"You caught them?"
A fair-skinned, pampered hand gently tapped on the dark tabletop, and the man's voice was gentle and low.
"Yes! Your subordinate has not failed in your mission!"
A man dressed in red knelt on one knee on the black floor with subtle gold patterns, standing out conspicuously.
"This time, only success is allowed; failure is not an option."
The gentle male voice should have been warm, but the person kneeling below was covered in a layer of white hair and cold sweat.
The man in red quickly and respectfully withdrew.
"Tap tap tap," the fingernails struck the table, making a dull but somewhat grating sound.
The man's eyes closed slightly as he murmured to himself, "The city center..."
Space route.
Silver-black warship.
"Marshal, how about you go to the Royal Medical Center and rest for a couple of days?"
With a look of deep concern on the Marshal's mimicry who had just emerged from the top-tier treatment chamber and immediately started a live stream, Cantel's tone was filled with worry. After all, the Marshal had been secretly harmed by the "Nirvana" mental energy surge potion.
No one expected that General Hua's adjutant was actually a traitor!
"I'm really fine."
Her furry paws unconsciously rose and touched her chest. Even though she was in a state of mental turmoil at the time, Chu Yanbing could still clearly recall that brush with death.
T-366's swarm this time was exceptionally fierce, ranking among the top three in the Zerg battlefield over the past century.
In the final battle, Chu Yanbing lost control and went to the battlefield himself.
He meticulously calculated the use of his mental energy and the overall battle situation. Just when he was about to reduce the casualty rate by 30% and win the battle, his mental energy, which he had been controlling well, suddenly went out of control and surged violently.
In the last second before completely losing consciousness, Chu Yanbing severed the most violent mental tentacle and simultaneously manipulated his mental energy to put it into the storage terminal.
When Chu Yanbing's mental energy surged, he became a devastating weapon, instantly crushing everything within a thousand meters into a cloud of blood mist.
Had it not been for Cantel, his adjutant, being exceptionally familiar with the situation of his uprising and decisively issuing a retreat order, his rebellion would have had devastating consequences.
As soon as Chu Yanbing lashed out, Cantel immediately focused on defense, keeping a close eye on the Marshal's condition so that he could fly to his side to protect him as soon as his mental energy was depleted, and take him away for self-healing.
But what was truly unexpected was that a shuttle suddenly appeared and instantly pierced the huge snow leopard through the chest, causing bright red blood to bloom in profusion, both beautiful and chilling.
The double blow to his body and mind—if it weren't for his 3S-level mental strength and the fact that the needle hadn't completely pierced his heart, Chu Yanbing might have died on the spot.
But in that situation, he was definitely going to die soon.
Just as Chu Yanbing was feeling dejected for not being able to give his last words to Alina on the spot, and regretting that he couldn't meet Alina in human form in reality and say a word to her, a dazzling white light appeared before his eyes, and his body seemed to turn into a huge white ball of light.
Immediately afterwards, the bloody hole on the snow leopard's chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even its fur grew back rapidly, as if it had never been injured at all.
Similarly, his desolate mental sea, like a withered tree sprouting new life, grew several tender shoots. The verdant little lives brought with them a pure and clear spiritual energy, and his mental sea was immediately several times better than before the battle.
It's simply a miracle.
"You saw it yourself, I was cured on the spot."
Chu Yanbing, the person involved in the previous miracle, remembered it clearly, as did Cantel, the closest witness.
Not to mention that he had been paying close attention to the marshal's situation, watching it from beginning to end, his heart pounding like a rollercoaster.
Thinking back to the mental strength report from the medical room test, Cantel knew he didn't need to suggest that the Marshal go to the Royal Medical Institute for treatment, but, "I can't believe it."
Yes, I just can't believe it. Even after three different instruments were used to test him, his heart, which was suspended in mid-air, still couldn't settle down.
"I've been away from Linlin for 10 days."
Even when speaking in animal language, Chu Yanbing's voice still carried a chill and a longing—the former for Canter, the latter for Alina.
Canter was speechless.
Live stream of the manor.
dining room.
"Awoo?" Why hasn't Alina come out yet? "Awoo?" Should I go call her?
With his thick tiger tail swishing behind him, Lu Jingbai looked at the long-empty chair and asked in animal language.
"Awoo." I think we don't need to do it yet. She hasn't been in good spirits these past few days. Maybe she overslept.
Pei Jingnian was the first to retort, "Disturbing someone's peaceful sleep, may they be struck by lightning!"
