How to keep a human in captivity

"Why can't you be as sweet as furballs?"

When the sea monster said these words, they had already returned to the familiar ocean.

Of course, the siren failed to get Arthur's response.

No one knew what Arthur was thinking.

In fact, his humanity had already compromised, and he made a directional pact with the Enterprise that he would never start a eugenics war in Khan's lifetime.

Including Khan, there were only thirteen superhumans left.

They thawed those super humans at the same time, and now, both super humans and ordinary humans are working hard to restore the earth's environment.

That strange magnetic field disturbance was somewhat beneficial to the zombies, who were less aggressive, and that's where Marvin came in handy.

The Enterprise will provide the necessary logistical support for Khan's team, which includes many aspects. The Enterprise is looking for drugs that can effectively stimulate the regeneration of brain cells, and Marvin can tell the superhumans how to quiet the zombies.

After leaving the library, Arthur never saw his human being again.

Arthur returned to the deep ocean, hugging Tricia and Janford.

Oh, maybe this time next year, Tricia will have a little mermaid.

Arthur gazed in awe at his friend, who was smiling.

"Are you all right, Arthur?"

"Well, actually," Arthur replied, "of course I'm fine."

Life seemed to be back on the track he should have.

Arthur flicks his fish tail and swims in the deep sea. His life is so simple, consisting of predation, sleep, and seaweed tea. He is no longer even keen on basking in the moon.

Overall, he shouldn't be dissatisfied.

He is tired.

He hoped to lie on his shell bed and sleep soundly, without thinking or doing anything.

It would have been a very simple wish, right?

However, he found that he was still too naive.

"Arthur, Arthur, Arthur!" The little mermaids never cared about politeness. They banged on Arthur's door, making him feel his whole head buzzing.

"Arthur Arthur Arthur!"

"Hurry up Arthur!"

The little mermaids said in unison.

"Your humans are looking for you!"

The human Khan seems to have mastered how to dive into the deep sea, and he is wearing a brand new diving suit.

Even so, the mermaids recognized at a glance that this was Arthur's human being.

Khan came alone.

Arthur didn't want to go out, but eventually he relented and took his humans to the surface of the reef so they could communicate.

The atmosphere between them was very stiff.

The human Khan seems to want to apologize, but has been unable to find a suitable way to express it.

"What's the matter with you?" Arthur asked, not wanting to be so rude, but he found it impossible to maintain a good temper after being awakened in his sleep.

"I've come to ask for your help." Humans are surprisingly honest.

Perhaps, only after experiencing the feeling of loss in person, will you learn how to firmly grasp what you have, and Khan doesn't want to regret it.

He had enough regrets.

"Perhaps... I should bring some gifts?" Khan observed Arthur's face, and for the first time doubted his behavior, "Maybe this will be enough to express my apology."

Oh, actually, he did bring a present, but he didn't know if he should show it or not.

The human Khan at this time is very much like the original John Harrison.

Arthur thought for a while: "Okay."

"what?"

"You don't want me to help you?" said Arthur. "Then my answer is yes."

A smile was almost on the human face, but Arthur said again: "But."

"But?" the human asked suspiciously.

Arthur's answer was to flick his fish's tail violently.

He pumped Khan heavily into the sea.

Oh, sure enough, it's more comfortable like this.

He should have known long ago that things were supposed to go the mermaid way.

What do we say.

- Never make your mermaid angry.

It took Khan some time to emerge from the sea, he felt his stomach burning and aching, but strangely, his mood lightened up.

"So, do you forgive me?"

"It's not that simple," said Arthur. "I can help you, but no, I don't forgive you."

"Okay." Khan wiped the seawater off his face, "I know it's not that simple."

His tone was dejected, but strangely, he was smiling.

"Our plan seems to be working, Captain."

"You really think the Khan believes he has only ten companions left?"

"Logically speaking, he may or may not believe it, but he pretends to believe it." The Vulcan replied to his captain's question as follows, "Perhaps, he was indeed convinced."

"Taking [-] hostages may not be a bright idea."

"In fact, Captain, Khan once left me a private message, he hoped that we would return to Earth every five years, and then return his ten crew members."

Our captain could hardly hide the shock on his face, while our first officer said in a calm, sensible and logical tone: "As I said, he was indeed persuaded."

"It was nothing short of a miracle."

"Logically speaking, there are no miracles in this world." Vulcan replied, "Humans always like to spend a lot of time to get what they want, but sometimes, when faced with threats, they will start Cherish what you have. I think Khan sees our hostage-taking as a real threat."

"You mean, he thinks our trick is a warning to him that we can indeed kill his crew without knowing it."

"Yes, so, for the sake of his crew, he compromised."

"Oh, we're not bad people."

"Logically, Khan wouldn't believe it."

"Smart people always think too much." Our captain sighed, "but the result is exactly what we hoped."

"After a while, I will list Khan's agreement in its entirety for your purpose, Captain."

"Thanks a lot."

Our first mate's response was just to raise an eyebrow.

"We have to go." Our venerable medical officer reminded, "Hey, the Rigelian epidemic... this time it's not some false information, I'm sure."

"Mr. Sulu."

"The course has been set, Captain."

"Set off--"

The author has something to say:

In fact, I have an idea to let the couple in the universe take a time travel among the European and American CPs that I know, but if I dig another hole, there is no way to guarantee the update.

The next chapter is over, and then there will be a XXX article of "Rules for Captive Humans" in the extra episode.
