Chapter 533 Well, That Reassured Her!

Energy crystals were very rare and precious in the dawn continent. However, many things made by the dwarfs required energy crystals.

Mark had to pause many inventions because he couldn't get his hands on energy crystals.

Huanhuan's suggestion was undoubtedly very tempting to him.

But Mark said cautiously that he would wait and see.

At the very least, he would have to wait until he was done making the cannon he was currently working on before considering mass production.

It was getting late, so Huanhuan prepared to return to her room to rest.

Mark suddenly stopped her. "When you go to bed at night, you'd better close the doors and windows, lest someone breaks in and scares you."

Hearing his words, Huanhuan couldn't help but feel a little afraid. "Are there burglars here at night?"

"There won't be burglars, but Murphy might come back for you."

Huanhuan was confused. "Hasn't he already left? He wouldn't come back, right?"

Mark hesitated, then said, "I didn't want to tell you this, but seeing how delicious your cooking is, I have to remind you of something."

"Huh?"

"Murphy..." Mark pointed to his head. "There's something wrong with him here."

Huanhuan was stunned. "Huh?"

"I've known Murphy for many years. He's indeed a good person. He's honest, reliable, and kind-hearted. Other than being a little old-fashioned, there's nothing wrong with him." Mark paused, his expression very complicated. "But there's something wrong with his brain. If not, he wouldn't have been forced to leave the elves and wander outside alone."

"But Murphy said he left the elves to go out and gain experience."

"The elves do have the custom of going out to gain experience, but that's only for elves who have just reached adulthood. Murphy has been an adult for many years. He doesn't need to participate in such training at all."

Huanhuan was completely dumbfounded. "No, Murphy doesn't look like the kind of person who lies..."

"Normally, Murphy wouldn't lie, but when he's not normal, he..."

Mark's expression became indescribable.

Huanhuan felt a chill run down her spine. "What's wrong with him? Tell me clearly."

"It's not a particularly big problem. He's just a little strange. Sometimes, his expression suddenly changes."

"His expression changes?"

"One moment, he's talking and laughing with you. The next moment, he suddenly turns hostile. His mood changes are especially drastic. It's difficult to adapt to it."

Huanhuan blinked. Wasn't this called having a split personality?!

Mark sighed. "You don't have to be too afraid. Although there's something wrong with Murphy's brain, as long as you don't step on his bottom line, he usually won't hurt anyone. At most, he'll just say a few unpleasant words. Just bear with it."

Huanhuan's mind was a mess.

Who knew what the bottom line of someone with dissociative identity disorder was?!

She asked fearfully, "What will happen to him if I step on Murphy's bottom line?"

Mark thought for a moment. "I'm not sure. It's just that his temper can get very bad. He might even beat people up."

Huanhuan: "..."

Well, that reassured her!

Seeing that she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, Mark couldn't stand it and helped come up with an idea. "Let me tell you a little trick. If you see Murphy's expression change, no matter what he says or does, don't go against him. When he returns to normal, he'll be fine."

Huanhuan asked carefully, "Why are you sure he'll come back for me tonight?"

"I can't be sure. I just think it's a possibility. There's no harm in being careful."

"Oh."

Huanhuan walked out of the underground studio and went to the kitchen to wash the pots and bowls. Then, she returned to the attic alone.

Since Mark had eaten all her dinner, she had to make do with some sweet fruits from her space.

As she ate, she said, "Little Brat, I realized that there are many magical things on the dawn continent. It's rare for me to come here. I want to take the opportunity to buy more good things and send them to Bai Di and the others through space."

Little Brat: "Do you really think this is a trip?"

"What else can I do? In any case, I'm already here. I can't find a way back for the time being, so I might as well take this opportunity to get more benefits. I can't come for nothing!"

Little Brat was very convinced. "You're really big-hearted!"

"Hehe~"

After filling her stomach, she slowly checked the doors and windows to make sure they were locked before going to bed.

Before falling asleep, Huanhuan reminded Little Brat again, "Remember to wake me up if anyone comes in."

Little Brat agreed.

When Huanhuan was in a daze, she suddenly heard Little Brat's voice.

"Get up!"

Huanhuan woke up and immediately opened her eyes.

Instead, she saw Murphy sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her without blinking.

Huanhuan was so frightened that she almost rolled to the ground!

It was in the middle of the night, but when she opened her eyes, she saw someone sitting silently by the bed. The impact was worse than those jump-scares in horror movies!

Murphy stared at her face, his emerald eyes reflecting a cold luster in the dark night.

He looked like a large beast hiding in the night.

Huanhuan was the little prey he had his eyes on.

She shuddered involuntarily.

Huanhuan sat up. Her hand under the blanket was already clenched tightly around the small crossbow. She asked nervously, "Didn't you leave? Why did you come back in the middle of the night? Did you leave something here?"

Murphy's voice was very cold, but there was a hint of mockery in her tone. "Do you think my personality is strange like everyone else? Do you want to chase me away as well?"

"No." Huanhuan was puzzled. "You were the one who wanted to leave..."

"Then why didn't you ask me to stay?"

Huanhuan was speechless.

He had his own things to do. If she asked him to stay, she would only be making things difficult for him, right?

After all, they had only met by chance. There was no need for him to stay by her side and take care of her!

Murphy approached her, his gaze becoming even more dangerous. "Am I not good to you? Why are you staying away from me?"

Huanhuan found him especially scary now.

She shrank back involuntarily. "Calm down."

Murphy grabbed her chin and forced her to look up. "Look at me and answer my question."

When he approached her, Huanhuan smelled faint alcohol.

Could it be that this guy was drunk?!

Was he suddenly acting up because he was drunk?

Huanhuan was extremely regretful. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have given him that jar of fruit wine.

But there was no point regretting now.

Since she already did it, she would have to own up to her mistake.

Huanhuan's gaze landed behind him. She asked in surprise, "Mark, why are you upstairs?"

Murphy turned to look back.

At this moment, Huanhuan raised the small crossbow and smashed it at the back of his head!

"Ugh!" Murphy groaned in pain.

However, he didn't faint.

Huanhuan's eyes widened. Damn! In the TV shows, they always gained after being knocked on the back of their heads! Why didn't he faint?! This didn't make sense!

Murphy covered the back of his head and rubbed it. His gaze was sinister. "You want to kill me?"

Huanhuan: "..."

'Brother! I was wrong! I'm just a silly girl who was deceived by TV shows!'
