Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

I don’t know if she is worried about the future or if she simply finds Chen Ran a bit annoying.

"nothing."

Xinteleya sighed again and said, "Miss, please continue."

"No...are you really okay?"

Zofia began to worry about Xinteleya's puzzled look: "What happened?"

"fine."

Xinteleya's tone was subtle: "But if you keep asking, Miss, then something must be wrong, and it's you who's in trouble."

Although she couldn't see the huge hand, Xinteleya could clearly feel it.

The hand was originally poking her little head for fun, but when Sofia spoke, the hand's movement obviously paused, as if it was also somewhat interested in Sofia.

"So Miss, you'd better not ask."

Cintrea said, "Otherwise, the next person to be violated... no, eroded, will be you, young lady."

Sofia: "..."

No? It's impossible not to ask this question, right?

And what is an infringement?! You said that word, right?!

Chapter 200: Sofia wants to know about Chen Ran, the evil demon from outside the domain?

“The desires of the human heart cannot be killed.”

Although Zofia was still concerned about Xinteleya's nonsense... such as the word "violation".

But after thinking about it, Sofia finally felt that business was more important.

"If we kill all the directors of the Chamber of Commerce at once, we can solve the problem once and for all."

"But Casimir's current situation won't change. Soon, a new director will emerge to take over the position, just like leeks after rain. Once you cut one, another will grow back, endlessly."

"Xintela, you probably understand this, so you choose to kill one a day."

"This is a lynching, this is the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads,"

"This will make other directors feel insecure and serve as a warning to those who are about to make unlawful moves. It will achieve the purpose of deterrence and make them understand that there will be consequences for committing evil."

Xinteleya: "?"

Although Zofia showed an admiring look, it seemed that she felt that Xinteleya could actually see through people's hearts and get to the root of the problems of the country of Casimir.

But Xinteleya looked confused.

what?

Is that what I actually thought?

So when the words came to her lips, Xinteleya just nodded perfunctorily: "Ah, yes, yes, and then?"

"But, Xinteleya, there is a drawback to doing this."

Zofia said seriously, "Killing one a day does have a deterrent effect, but it also gives those directors enough time to develop."

"As you assassinate more people, Sintelaya, the remaining directors might become desperate and resort to extreme measures."

"Although I'm not worried about your strength, Xinteleya...but it's inevitable that those directors might act recklessly."

"so……"

Zofia suggested, "Cintrea, why don't you take a break from your idol activities?"

When Xinteleya heard this, her first reaction was, "No more work? There's such a good thing?!"

But then Xinteleya came to her senses again. She was a pauper now. If she didn't go to work, wouldn't she starve to death?

"So why on earth are you worried about being short of money?"

Sophia was a little confused: "Even if you don't want your house confiscated, didn't I tell you I'd pay you?"

"Isn't salary paid monthly? I haven't even worked for you for a month yet, Miss."

Xinteleya replied: "How about, Miss, you give me an advance..."

"One month's salary in advance?"

Sophia said: "That's fine, I'll transfer the money to your card now?"

"No, I mean an advance on my lifetime salary."

Cintrea corrected.

"Isn't a lifetime too much?!"

Sophia couldn't hold it in: "You musicians, do you all like to say things like this?"

To be honest, Xinteleya is not short of money now.

Not to mention her income as an idol, even if Xinteleya said now, "Miss, go and transfer 500 million to my card."

Zofia would only wonder, "500 million? So little? Is it enough?" before handing Xinteleia a black card with no upper limit.

"Although I only have a small fortune, it's enough to support a freeloader."

Zofia advised, "Besides, with the Linguang family's protection, at least those people from the Commerce Federation won't openly cause trouble for you, Xinteleya."

"Protection from the Linguang family?"

Xinteleya complained: "Miss, you can't even pass me?"

"That, that was your sneak attack—"

Sofia was anxious: "How can I represent the entire Linguang family? And I was careless last time!"

"Oh, are you ready this time, Miss?"

"Huh? Prepare for what?"

Zofia was still confused, but Xinteleya looked up.

The star pattern in his eyes flickered, then paused and opened again.

Then when she came back to her senses, Zofia was surprised to find that she was still half squatting and reaching out to massage Xinteleya's shoulders and legs.

Sofia: “???”

Sophia was confused.

She quickly stood up and took a few steps back: "You, you, you...how did I get here..."

"What's wrong, miss?"

Cintrea asked calmly.

Although Zofia knew that Xinteleya was so powerful that even the naked eye could not capture her.

But now, for the first time, Zofia felt that Xinteleya's ability was a little weird.

But seeing Xinteleya's calm expression, Zofia still sat back in her chair with a lot of doubts in her mind, and then said:

"I don't know how you did it, but... well, since you're so insistent, Cintrea, I won't say anything."

Sofia reached out, picked up the black tea on the table in front of her, drank it all in one gulp, and calmed herself down.

Then Zofia said, "But now, can you tell me about it? Sintreya, you were talking about things like 'invasion' and 'erosion'."

……

……

……

Xinteleya actually didn't intend to say it.

The reason for not telling is not because 'after Zofia knows the truth, I can no longer use time-stop to show off', nor is it because of some lone ranger mentality like 'it is enough for me to bear such sins alone'.

The reason why Xinteleya didn't say it was simply because Chen Ran, the evil demon from outside the domain, was absolutely a pervert.

Oh, it may not be called evil, but it is definitely lustful.

With the continuous sacrifices of Xinteleya's people, although Chen Ran, the alien demon, cannot yet transform into a physical entity, he already has the ability to interfere with and touch real objects.

and so--

Miss, you don't think that after Chen Ran, the evil demon from outside the domain, has such power, he will only want to poke my head for fun, right?

But Sophia's attitude was extremely firm, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

There was no other way, so Xinteleya had to do it perfunctorily.

He said something like, 'You can know if you want, but you'll have to pay a small price, Miss.'

Then he ordered Sofia to serve him tea and water, massage his shoulders and legs, etc.

Although Zofia was confused, she did as she was told.

As a result, they continued to work until the evening, and Xinteleya was still there ordering her around. Zofia couldn't help but ask: "Are you not done yet? Even if this is the price, how long do I have to do this?"

"what?"

Xinteleya looked confused: "What's not healed yet?"

"???"

Sophia was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that as long as I pay the price, you will tell me the truth?"

"Oh...there's also this..."

Xinteleya looked surprised and said, "I forgot."

"?"

Then Sofia got angry and reached out to grab Xinteleya's horse ears and twisted them hard.

Chapter 201: Poor Chen Ran, was used as a tool by Xinteleya to take off his clothes and take a bath.

"I made a deal with a demon from outside the realm... probably an evil god from the sect of Slaanesh."

"what?"

"To put it simply, every time I kill someone, it's like offering a sacrifice to the evil demon. As more sacrifices are offered, the evil demon will gradually revive."

"what?"

"Oh, by the way, I'm actually a sacrifice myself. Isn't that what's written in those picture books? Offering my soul in exchange for power or something."

"..."

Under Zofia's unremitting insistence, Xinteleya finally briefly stated the truth of the matter in a few words.

This frightened Sophia.

"What's wrong? Miss, don't you believe it?"

"It's not that I don't believe it...it's just..."

Well, Zofia just doesn't believe it.

After all, your story is really too much like a novel plot.

But before Zofia could say anything, she saw Xinteleya's waist-length silver hair fluttering in the wind.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands helped Xinteleya braid her hair into a ponytail.

Sofia: "..."

Okay, now Sofia believed it.

After all, Zofia didn't understand the meme, otherwise she'd have said something like, "Evil spirit...power...invisible to ordinary people...I get it! It's a Stand! Sintela, you're a Stand user!"

Sophia was silent for a long time before she said, "Is there anything...Is there anything I can help with?"

"I'll be thankful if you don't get yourself involved, young lady."

Xinteleya calmly complained, "What help? Young lady, you're the one who, after being seen, starts whining about how you can't get married. If you were to be toyed with by that evil demon from outside the realm, wouldn't you commit suicide to show your love for your love?"

Sofia: “???”
