The answer from Old Time Tea was rather puzzling to the other elfins. Everyone could see that Zhang Zian was sound asleep. It did not need to state the obvious to them.

“According to my a.n.a.lysis, he does not have any physical problems. He is merely asleep, although…this kind of sleep is very abnormal. Sihwa’s voice is so loud that he should have been awoken by it a long time ago.”

Old Time Tea explained while using his claws to open his eyelids again. “You see, his eye is moving quickly. Humans have given this kind of sleep a name. It is called ‘rapid eye movement sleep,’ which means he is dreaming some sort of lifelike dream… The problem is that it is a rather shallow type of sleep. He should have already woken up.”

“So why didn’t he wake up?” Fina suppressed her anger. “Is this possible that he’s deliberately pretending to be asleep when, in fact, he is already awake?”

“This… I believe that this is unlikely because the human eye is very sensitive. I just used my claws to pull up his eyelids. He should…have an instinctive dodge response,” Old Time Tea said. “However, he seems to be able to restrain this instinct, and to do that, you have to practice for a long time. However, I don’t think he would have spent so much time practicing just for a joke…”

This a.n.a.lysis was reasonable, and Fina couldn’t find anything wrong with it. This was because Zhang Zian had always adhered to the principle of maximizing the benefits per unit of time, and so he would not waste so much preparation time to crack a joke that would only work once…

“Then why didn’t he wake up?” Fina’s anger disappeared. She turned to the bathroom and said, “Shut up! So noisy!”

Sihwa was shocked and shut her mouth.

“I don’t know.” Old Time Tea shook his head and looked around. “Who was the first to wake up?”

“I woke up once, but I didn’t know what time it was. I heard the sound of the quilt on the bed, but it was still early. I thought he was getting up to go to the bathroom and didn’t care. Then I fell asleep again,” Vladimir said, raising his paw.

“Apart from Vladimir?” Old Time Tea asked with a nod.

Famous took a step forward. “When I woke up, I saw Galaxy sitting on the edge of the bed. You all shouldn’t have been up yet.”

Everyone’s eyes focused on Galaxy.

“Meow!” Galaxy shook his head in a rare way, and his eyes held a look of confusion and helplessness. “Galaxy felt great sadness and woke up. Zhang Zian… He himself chose to be asleep.”

What?

Old Time Tea’s words had been puzzling enough, and Galaxy’s were even worse.

“He chose to sleep? Why does he want to sleep? Who gave him the right to sleep? Did I not treat him well, so much so that he decided to go on a strike?” Fina was furious. Originally, she’d still been a little worried, but now that she’d heard that he had chosen to sleep… What did this mean?

“Hey! You idiot, get up and shove sh*t away!” Richard jumped onto Zhang Zian’s back and stepped all over his back, neck, and head.

The other elfins laughed a little and relaxed a lot after hearing this.

“Maybe he is really tired. Then we should let him sleep for a while. Take a rest now and work harder later!” Vladimir said.

Old Time Tea still had a puzzled look on its face. Whether or not he chose to sleep, his being asleep despite all this noise was absolutely not normal.

“Then… When will he wake up?”

Old Time Tea generally did not ask Galaxy about issues about the future, but today the situation was special. It must be asked clearly so that it could decide what to do later.

“Meow… Galaxy does not know. He may wake up, or he may not wake up… It all depends on whether he wants to wake up.” Galaxy sadly lowered his head.

Anyone present would know that Galaxy’s power was unfathomable. If anyone wanted to harm Zhang Zian, or if something around him may lead to his injury or death, Galaxy would definitely be able to predict it and stop it from happening in advance. If he could not do that, he would guide other elfins to stop it.

However, if Zhang Zian chose to sleep, who could stop it?

“Is there another way?” asked Old Time Tea.

“Meow… Galaxy does not know.” Galaxy shook his head.

Galaxy could see the future, but if it was something that had already happened, it could not be traced back.

“Scratch!”

Pi patted its chest and volunteered its service.

It put on some gla.s.ses and began to flip through the Unt.i.tled Book.

Everyone knew that Pi’s Unt.i.tled Book recorded everything that had happened in the past. It, of course, recorded everything in the present and the future, but the latter was too difficult to query because there were countless possibilities for the future.

Everyone stared at it moving furiously and was eager to get an answer from it.

Pi flipped to one of the pages. To everyone else, it appeared to be a blank page, but after it stared at the book for a long time, confusion and surprise surfaced on Pi’s face.

“What is it?” asked Old Time Tea.

Flip flip! Flip flip!

Pi’s fingers seemed like they were dancing. However, besides some sign language that only Zhang Zian could understand, to the other elfins looking at it, it was tantamount to gibberish.

Pi noticed the puzzled looks on everyone’s faces and suddenly remembered that Zhang Zian was not there to help it translate, so it typed on its computer. The book said that because other elfins were involved, the relevant information could not be queried.

Other elfins?

Everyone started getting suspicious and exchanged looks with each other.

Zhang Zian had been sleeping soundly throughout. If this had been caused by other elfins, did that mean… a strange elfin had invaded this room without their knowing it?

From the very beginning, everyone had ruled out this possibility. As for why… One simply had to look at all the elfins in the room. They were like a solid wall of iron and maybe even more secure than the safest vault in the world. To quietly enter into this room and do bad things… Such a feat would be even harder than going to heaven!

Although everyone had sufficient confidence in their ability to secure the room, in order to play it safe, everyone leaped into action without asking. They checked every window on the second floor, checked the doors and windows on the first floor, looked for strange smells and footprints, and even inspected the drains of the bathroom and kitchen.

However, there was nothing. There was no sign of a break-in.

Pi’s Unt.i.tled Book would not be wrong. Certainly, an elfin had quietly invaded the room when everyone was unaware of it. That had put Zhang Zian into a sound sleep. However, why had it done so?

What they did know is that it had not invaded the house via the standard method. It was theoretically impossible. Even a stealth elfin could not fully hide its scent, sound, and footprints.

Elfins that could cross the physical barrier of s.p.a.ce… There was only one that everyone knew. That was Galaxy. However, even if it were Galaxy, he would still leave behind his scent and footprints.

The unknown elfin…was like a ghost.

Sihwa had guessed that something happened, but everyone was too lazy to explain it to her. She was anxious and going crazy without knowing what was going on.

Throughout the discussion, Famous remained silent. When everyone’s discussion came to an end and there was no conclusion, it suddenly said: “I have to sleep again.”
