Robin: "(Suddenly feels a chill)..." - frowns
Dent: "(Discovery)... What's wrong?The food is not to your liking?" - stop the chopsticks
Robin: "No, I don't know... (Turning the neck) back, inexplicably chilling. "—uncomfortable
Dent: "(Looking at Robin's 'attending doctor' - [Cersie])—asked with a look
Cersie: "Someone might be talking about him. "—unhurried, smirk
Dent: "..."—a stinky face in return
Robin: "Isn't that supposed to be a sneeze?"
Cersie: "Sneezing?" - I don't understand
Dent: "There is a cloud in the Book of Songs, "If you can't sleep, if you want to speak, you will sneeze", and you will sneeze when you are thought about or talked about. - Quoting scriptures, explaining
Cersie: "Oh?
Dent: "This has been circulating in China for more than 3,000 years. You don't know?"
Cersie: "I don't know it's weird, right?"
Dent: "It's strange that you're a legendary witch who has lived for thousands of years. ”
Cersie: "What if I've lived for thousands of years? I've become omniscient? I only know what I know. ”
Dent: "You know enough. ”
Cersie: "It's not "less", it's "partial". I don't know anything about areas that don't interest me... (Drink all the high liquor in the cup) and don't bother to know. —Correction
Dent: "Don't drink so hard. ”
Robin: "yes, it's strong. ”
Cersie: "It's okay, my body doesn't get drunk that easily. —pouring wine
Dent: "Side effects of youthful body?"
Cersie: "Well, in addition to my youth, my body's tolerance to curses, poisons, and other abnormal states has greatly improved, and ordinary alcohol can't make me drunk... Don't you drink it?"
Dent: "Don't drink while driving, don't drive when you drink." ”
Cersie: "(Looks at what [Dent] was eating)... I don't drink alcohol because I have to drive. What about not eating spicy, smelly food?" - scornful smile
Dent: "I've been on fire lately. ”
Cersie: "Don't talk nonsense with me... (lowers his voice) You're going to meet with someone important later?"
Dent: "It's not just me, it's you and Robin. So, drink less. ”
Robin: "Me too?" - accident
Cersie: "What big guy are you going to take the two of us to meet?"
Dent: "..."—no answer, eat quietly
Cersie: "(observe, think)... Old cripple?"
Dent: "Call [General Deng]!" - in a low voice, in a stern tone
Cersie: "Got it, got it. —perfunctory
Robin: "Where are we going to meet?" - a little excited to learn that we were going to meet the big people later
Dent: "I don't know the location yet. ”
Cersie: "Where's the time?"
Dent: "I only know the approximate time, and I'll have to wait for the exact time." ”
Cersie: "Hey~, as for it, so careful." ”
Dent: "These are extraordinary times. ”
Cersie: "That's not necessary... Is it to guard against me at the same time?"
Dent: "It's partly for that. —respond truthfully
Cersie: "Thank you very much. ”
Dent: "Guarding against you, on behalf of the high-level Aegis leadership, agrees with your strength, it's not all bad. ”
Cersey: "Alright, after all, you don't want to use me?"
Dent: "I'm not afraid of being used, I'm afraid you're useless." ”
Cersie: "Hmph, it's the same in every country. ”
Robin: "[General Deng] wants to see me, isn't it that simple?" - reacted
Dent: "(nods)... You were possessed by Hecate, the goddess of Hades, and you made a pact with her. ”
Robin: "I am——to explain
Dent: "I know that I've reported your situation to the authorities, and as long as you can stay self-aware and don't betray the Order, the Organisation won't do anything to you." ”
Robin: "Really?"
Dent: "Really, I can risk my life. ”
Robin: "What if I can't be self-aware?"
Dent: "Then you're a walking corpse." At that time, the organization will give you a good time and give you a ride, I promise. - Swearing
Robin: "..."—speechless
Dent: "Do you have any grievances?"
Robin: "No, can't you save me first, what if I regain my sense of self?"
Dent: "Don't worry, the organization will definitely try to awaken your consciousness first, and will not use the ultimate means as soon as it comes up..."
Robin: "That's good. —Breathe a sigh of relief
Dent: "After that, it depends on how much damage you've done while you're unconscious. ”
Robin: "Damage?"
Dent: "Your situation is similar to that of mentally ill offenders: you need to bear the corresponding criminal responsibility and compensation for the damage caused before the onset of the disease, and the damage caused when you completely lose the ability to recognize or control the behavior, you are not criminally responsible, but you need to bear the corresponding liability for compensation... It's not like you don't want to be responsible, do you?"
Robin: "Of course not, it's just... I don't have any money. ”
Dent: "You can owe it first, then work overtime and work hard to pay off the debt." "—Relaxed

Zhou Ke: "This thing grows pretty fast." ”
Al: "You've eaten well, you've slept well, you've had plenty of creatures, and you're growing well... Okay, it's time to come down. ”
Zhou Ke: "(Sit up)... What about my other physical metrics?" – putting on shoes
Al: "It's also quite reasonable (risky) (evil), let any professional oncologist diagnose you, your remaining life will not exceed one month, and your "physical transformation" will definitely start as scheduled. - Full of confidence
Zhou Ke: "What if [Dr. Connors] is against it?"
Al: "I put the data in front of him, and he has no reason to object. ”
Zhou Ke: "There's no reason why people won't object?"
Al: "..."—choked on [Zhou Ke]'s words
Zhou Ke: "Reaction is the biggest reason, and you have to consider all the possibilities. ”
Al: "Understood, we're going to close the holes that might be in the residence. ”
Zhou Ke: "Be sure to make sure that nothing goes wrong~"
