Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

……

The agent of a popular idol was tragically found dead at home last night.

As a result, this news was not even reported in the newspaper because it had no value.

Even if rumors spread, most people who heard them would not care at all.

Because death in Casimir is a very normal thing.

Even if someone has been knighted, once they are no longer useful, they will die tragically at home the next day. This is nothing new, let alone a mere agent.

In the end, it was Sintelaiya who showed up and delivered the obituary herself.

She first expressed her deep sorrow and regret, and then said that this incident was a big blow to her, so Xinteleya planned to take a break for 3 days and then look for a new agent.

Naturally, fans were wailing everywhere.

However, the Chamber of Commerce and the No-Horn Alliance were not idle either.

After all, the agent is just a pawn in their hands.

But even though they turned the agent's house upside down and tortured the servants, they couldn't get any useful information.

Besides knowing that the agent was also killed by a single blow, and that the failure of the Wuzhou League at that time was most likely caused by the same person—

They also confiscated the house... Oh no, they counted the assets of the agent and found that nothing was done, and Xinteleya was still a pauper.

So what can we do?

Apart from reluctantly swallowing up the agent's property, they could only send more people to keep a close eye on Xinteleya's every move.

At the same time, re-evaluate the degree of danger Xinteleya poses and decide whether to carry out a second assassination mission.

The result is:

The next day, an independent knight died, killed by a single blow.

On the third day, someone from the company died, still killed by a knife.

The same method, the same cause of death, and the status of the deceased is getting higher and higher.

In this situation, the people from the Chamber of Commerce finally started to panic.

Fearing that they would be the next to die, they called back the people from the Wuzhou Alliance at night.

The mission of the Helmetless Alliance also changed from monitoring Xinteleya to protecting the safety of the Chamber of Commerce.

And the culprit of all this, Xinteleya, what is she doing now?

The answer is that Xinteleya stayed at home in her shabby rental house for three whole days.

I'm too lazy to comb my hair or put on makeup.

Even after making sure that the people from the No Helmet Alliance had left, Xinteleya was too lazy to even put on her clothes.

She was wearing only a white T-shirt that was loose enough to cover her thighs. She was lying on the bed, swinging her white and tender feet and playing with her cell phone.

"I see."

While Chen Ran admired Xinteleya's welfare, he suddenly realized, "Rather than killing your entire family once and for all, you're mainly pressing them step by step, making them live in fear, afraid that they'll be the next to die. Killing people is even more heartbreaking, right?"

Xinteleya: "..."

Xinteleya really wanted to say that Chen Ran was slandering her. She was just lazy and not that scheming.

But after shaking the furry horse ears on her head, Xinteleya turned over and decided to pretend not to hear.

In the end, it was Chen Ran who spoke again: "Little guy, you only took three days off. Tomorrow you have to continue to be your little idol, singing and dancing."

These words successfully broke down the deaf-mute Xinteleya.

She stopped playing with her phone and buried her face in the pillow: "It's so annoying... I don't want to go to work... Why can't anyone give me money for free?"

"Killing people and confiscating their property, why don't you do it yourself?"

Chen Ran said, "But giving you money for free, is that another way of saying it's a sponsor?"

"Support? Ha...it's not that easy."

Xinteleya muttered, "If I dare to say that, I'll be packed up and sent to someone else's bed tonight. Those nobles are more disgusting than each other. There's no normal person among them."

"Normal person?"

Chen Ran thought for a moment and said, "Hey, I actually know one."

Chapter 193 Zofia: I feel like a big victim.

"Even the company's people were killed...? No wonder everyone is worried about themselves."

Casimir, the manor of the Whip Knights.

Sofia was sitting in the small garden of her house, sipping afternoon tea and reading the information collected by the servants, being served by them.

"First it was the Helmetless Alliance, then the Independent Knights, and now it's the company's people. And they were all killed with a single blow. Is it likely that it was done by the same person?"

"So what does this person want to do?"

"To eliminate harm to the people? To kill indiscriminately? Or..."

Zofia lifted her golden hair from her face, then raised her legs, allowing her slim waist and plump buttocks, which were wrapped in a hip-hugging leather skirt like an Ol's outfit, to be squeezed into a perfect shape on the chair cushion, while she was muttering to herself.

Sophia herself was not afraid.

Because when talking about Casimir, people will think of knights, and when talking about knights, the first thing that comes to mind is the Linguang family, that is, Zofia's family.

As former war heroes, the Linguang family is a true traditional knight aristocracy. Even until now, they still uphold the so-called "chivalry".

Although it is precisely because of this that it has been suppressed by the increasingly commercialized and entertainment-oriented business associations and has long lost its former glory and is even on the decline.

But the Linguang family is one of the few, or even the only, "normal people" in Casimir.

So if the 'criminals' in recent days are doing harm to the people, then Sofia has no reason to be frightened.

If it's indiscriminate killing... then there's no need to worry, because worrying is useless.

"I'm actually quite curious."

Sofia drank the last sip of black tea in the cup and stood up.

With a wave of her hand, she dismissed the servants and returned to her small villa alone. "What if that 'criminal' is really doing harm to the people? Then I'd really like to meet him."

Walk into the villa and take off your coat.

After hanging it on the hanger, Zofia stretched her waist and turned around, wondering whether she should take a bath.

"As expected of a rich man, I feel like this little bit of money is enough for me to not have to work for a month."

Whether it was the words that came from her ears or the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, Sofia was stunned.

She saw Xinteleya sitting on her sofa, enjoying her afternoon tea as if she were not an outsider at all.

“Where did you come from—?!”

Sophia was startled and subconsciously reached back to find a weapon.

After all, although the Linguang family is on the decline, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter the security level or patrol frequency, it is impossible for Zofia's manor to allow a stranger to break in without being discovered.

So while searching for a weapon, Zofia stalled for time: "Wait... are you Cintela?"

"Ah, you are such an important person, and you know me?"

It was unclear whether Xinteleya was mocking herself or was truly confused, she said this in front of Zofia.

"After all, what happened three days ago was quite a big deal..."

The Wuzhou Alliance went to attack and kill a weak little idol, but failed. This was the topic of conversation among many people after dinner.

"That's it."

Cintrea nodded.

Since there was no need to introduce herself, Xinteleya went straight to the point: "I'm cute, please give me money."

Sophia: "?"

what?

No?

You are cute... I admit that, but why should I give you money?

Sofia was completely confused, but fortunately, she took this opportunity to finally get a handy weapon.

Although everyone says that Cintrea is too weak to be a knight, so she changed her job to become an idol...

But no matter how Zofia looked at it, she didn't think it looked like that...

So, after holding the weapon in her hand, Zofia finally felt a little confident the next second -

"Ugh...?"

The sudden pain in her wrist caught Sofia off guard, causing her hand to loosen and the weapon to fall.

"Because I feel like it would be troublesome if you got your hands on the weapon... so I'll confiscate it for now."

Zofia looked as if she had seen a ghost. She saw that Xinteleya was sitting on the sofa in the previous second, but in the next second she was next to her and even reached out to catch the weapon she dropped.

"You, how did you—"

Zofia subconsciously wanted to ask.

But Xinteleya disappeared from her sight again, and then a bone-chilling touch touched her neck.

Xinteleya had appeared behind her at some point. "Didn't you hear clearly? This is quite troubling to me. I'm cute. Please give me money. Did you hear clearly this time?"

Sofia: "..."

Zofia couldn't help swallowing, feeling the cold light on her neck. She suddenly seemed to understand something: "The failure of the Wuzhou League... and the deaths of those three people were actually all your fault - ah..."

Just when Zofia realized the truth, the next second, she was horrified to find that she had been pressed to the floor.

It was as if she had lost all her memories in between, and Zofia had no idea how she was knocked down.

"you……"

Sofia subconsciously wanted to struggle, but it was useless.

If we really judge based on strength, Cintria in this world line really can't beat Zofia.

But there was no way. As long as Zofia showed any intention of resisting, Xinteleya would stop time directly. She had enough time to dissolve Zofia's moves and then pin Zofia down.

Sophia felt that no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get away.

Even Xinteleya had a bit of a bad temper. She deliberately revealed her flaws so that Sofia would think she had an opportunity, but she was pinned down again the next second.

"I surrender...so what do you want to do...?"

Sofia had no choice but to grit her teeth.

"I'm cute, please..."

"Please give you money? With your ability, do you still need money...?"

"I need someone who can launder my money."

"..., then you should have said so earlier!!!"

Sophia is really numb.

He broke into her house without saying a word and the first thing he asked was "Please give me money." If you didn't know, you would think that Xinteleya was here to kill, burn, and rob.

Everyone would resist this, right?

In the end, you just want a normal, legal cash flow that can't be traced by the Chamber of Commerce or the No-Horn Alliance?

Why didn't you tell me earlier? What are you doing with all this?

Sofia felt like a complete scapegoat, having been beaten for nothing.

Chapter 194 Zofia: This Xinteleya is such a bad woman.

Sofia surrendered and agreed to the unreasonable request of "Please give me money."

Logically speaking, Xinteleya should let her go, and then the two of them should shake hands and say something like "Happy cooperation."
