Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"When I returned to Siesta, my favorite thing to do every day was to sit in a beachside cafe for a day with two books, listening to music, drinking a cup of green tea, and blowing in the sea breeze."
“That’s when I was finally convinced that Siesta was the best city in the world.”
Ceylon's eyes were full of longing.
You're right, but it doesn't feel as good as Dosores.
"It seems that you love this city very much."
"Of course! Not only that, but there is also my important family here. In addition to my father, there is also someone very important to me who also works in the city hall."
When he mentioned that person, Ceylan's tone changed.
"We should be able to see her soon. With her help, we can save a lot of time."
Chapter 372 Too young, kid
"It sounds like you trust her."
Of course the doctor noticed the subtle changes in Ceylon's expression when he mentioned that person, so he asked casually.
"My mother died when I was born, and my father became too busy with work after that."
Before the doctor could open his mouth to comfort him, Ceylon continued.
"The person who has been taking care of me since I was a child is my bodyguard. Her name is Hei. When my father was working hard, she was the one who stayed with me and endured my willfulness. Alas, I was still a little ignorant when I was a child. She caused a lot of trouble."
When it comes to black, Ceylon also talks a lot more.
"Even if we are not related by blood, I regard her as my sister. She is an important member of my family. When we get to the city hall, I will introduce her to you two."
Ceylon led the two of them directly into the grand hall of the city hall. The bodyguard at the gate naturally knew the young lady and welcomed her in respectfully.
Of course, the doctor and Beichen did not encounter any obstruction after following Ceylon. After all, there were only a few people who were not discerning.
"Miss Ceylon, how can I help you?"
A person who seemed to be in charge came forward and asked in a low voice.
"Contact Cronin for me and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."
Ceylon spoke.
"Ah, Mr. Cronin is in the office, please."
The person in charge turned his back, winked at the staff next to him, and immediately ran towards the stairs.
"Let me lead the way... I would like to ask, these two gentlemen behind you..."
He immediately turned around and faced Ceylon with a smile. At the same time, he secretly looked at the doctor and Beichen and asked carefully.
"Both of them are my friends, so you don't need to entertain them."
"understand."
Several people walked up the stairs and soon arrived at the door of an inconspicuous office.
Ceylon opened the door and walked in, followed closely by Beichen and the doctor.
Cronin had been waiting for a long time. He quickly looked away from the doctor and Beichen, and then looked at Ceylon with a smile on his face.
This fake smile was too easy to see through, but Ceylon didn't notice this.
"Is there anything that requires you to come to the city hall in person, dear lady? The holiday arrangements are in full swing now, and we don't have much free time."
Doesn’t this mean that if you have something to say or fart quickly, doesn’t it mean that I don’t have that much time to play house with you here?
He just said it nicely. If Beichen were his boss, he would have kicked the smiling tiger out long ago.
"Clonin, let me get straight to the point. Mount Siesta may erupt soon, maybe in the next second, maybe in a few days."
The smile on Cronin's face froze and soon turned serious.
"The safety of all travelers and citizens will be threatened. We need to provide them with guidance and start preparing for transfer or evacuation. In short, all follow-up activities of the Obsidian Festival need to be terminated immediately."
"Doctor, this little girl is really innocent."
Beichen poked the doctor and whispered.
"If I had known she was thinking of this way, I wouldn't have followed her. How could she tell the whole story so directly? Isn't this putting myself on the fire?"
The doctor also expressed his helplessness. This seemed to mean that he was less severely beaten by society.
"What should we do? Just take down this person who is clearly the mastermind behind it, or should we break out and make plans later?"
When Ceylon said his first words, the two people behind him had already realized that this matter was going to be dirty and started to discuss it among themselves.
"Let's break out first. There must be something wrong with Cronin, but it's too early to conclude that he is the mastermind behind it. Let's try to cause as little damage as possible. After all, this place belongs to the Ceylon family."
"learn."
Ceylon was still trying to get Cronin to help, while Beichen and the doctor had already planned to run away with her.
"Hey, my eldest lady, do you know what you are talking about now? If someone else had said this to me, I would have kicked him out a long time ago, but because it is you, I am willing to explain it to you."
The overly frivolous tone made Beichen feel a little sick.
Editor, you continue to edit and see how I deal with you later.
"You don't have to worry about the volcano issue at all. Although I don't know where you heard the news, it is obviously nonsense."
Ceylan didn't expect that she would get such an answer in the end, so she asked in disbelief.
"Are you kidding? There are many signs that this volcano has begun to reactivate and is likely to erupt in the short term."
Cronin spread his hands and asked, "For example?"
"The mania of the Origin Stone Worms, the abnormal temperature, and the smell that's not right. As long as you go to the foot of the volcano, these are obvious evidences."
Ceylon also took out all the compiled information and said emotionally: "If you still don't believe it after talking so much, then take a look at the information I brought, which contains the detailed analysis process and conclusions."
"She's still explaining."
"Still explaining."
The doctor and Beichen have begun to take this conversation as amusement.
Poor Ceylon has been kept in the dark by the old fox Cronin.
"Obviously? Did the Origin Stone Worm tell you this? Or did the temperature and that smell speak?"
Cronin has made no secret of the emotions behind his words.
"These baseless numbers have nothing to do with the volcanic eruption. I only know that the volcano observation system, which was arranged by the mayor himself and designed with the technology I provided, has no problems at all."
"you!"
Ceylon was so angry that he almost stamped his feet.
"The current parameters of the Siesta volcano are no different from those of the past few years. In fact, they are even more stable."
Cronin picked up the materials, glanced at them casually, snorted, and threw them aside.
"Miss Ceylon, I'm afraid this person is here to cause trouble. There's no need to talk nonsense to him."
The doctor spoke, signaling with his eyes that Ceylon should leave with them quickly.
"Who are you?"
Cronin asked. From beginning to end, he never paid attention to the two people behind Ceylon.
"The doctor is a researcher from a specialized institution. He and his colleagues have specialized knowledge of volcanoes. These data were compiled and verified after they gave me help."
Ceylon said. She didn't understand the doctor's hint at all. It was clear that the doctor had lifted the hood a little so that she could see her eyes clearly.
"Wow, why does she still want to argue with this guy?"
"do not know."
Beichen and the doctor were completely speechless.
"Haha, I understand."
Cronin glanced at Beichen and the doctor.
"So it's you weird foreign tourists who deceived the eldest lady?"
Chapter 373 Who is coming to the rescue?
"what are you saying?"
Ceylon asked angrily.
"Isn't it obvious, Miss, that you have been deceived by this unknown person?"
Cronin spread his hands and said that he wouldn't mind playing with this young lady who had just returned to Siesta for a while longer.
In his plan, after a while, the person in front of him will no longer be a young lady.
"Clonin, don't you even believe my words?!"
"Anxious."
"It's red and warm."
The doctor and Beichen made their own evaluations respectively.
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to tell you that during the time you were studying abroad, there were many people who were jealous of the development of our Xista. Every year, there are people who want to hinder the mayor's pace of developing the city."
"Threats, explosions, assassinations, even I, who is unknown to him, have encountered such incidents several times, let alone your father."
Cronin continued sadly: "Of course, this is not the first time that I have spread rumors that a volcano is about to erupt, but I didn't expect that I could actually deceive you."
"I have to say that my opponent this time knows the mayor very well. He can even fully understand what happened to you shortly after you returned from studying abroad."
"This...Dad did not tell me this, but I will not believe some inexplicable outsiders. What I said is all true!"
"Really? In my opinion, this so-called doctor is no different from the previous ones. He will do whatever it takes to plunder this city!"
Cronin raised his nose and raised his face, and actually stretched out his right hand and pointed directly at the doctor and said.
"?"
The doctor lying next to him was also shot.
"If you want to incriminate someone, why bother?"
The doctor said he no longer wanted to defend himself.
"Want to impose a crime? Haha, people like you always say this. Miss, you are not experienced in the world, so it is inevitable that you will encounter such a thing, please don't worry..."
"It's rare for me to agree with your opinion."
Beichen interrupted Cronin directly.
"A certain young lady is indeed not very experienced in the world. She didn't even notice a mole like you. What you just said should be regarded as a kind of self-introduction."
After hearing Beichen's words, Cronin's face suddenly darkened.
"Everyone, come over here and take them two down."
"Cronin, are you going to do it in front of me? As long as I'm here,... uh uh uh!"
"Miss, please don't say such things again, and run away."
Beichen directly covered Ceylon's mouth, lifted her onto his shoulder, and ran towards the window holding the doctor's arm.
"Your eldest lady is in my hands now. If you want it, you have to get it yourself."
He smashed the window with one punch, and before leaving, Beichen didn't mind making a few more sarcastic remarks.
"Haha, idiot, aren't you confirming your identity?"
Cronin said in a low voice. At this time, many bodyguards had surrounded his office.
"Don't think I didn't hear what you were muttering. Before I leave, let me give you a gift."
Snapped.
The sound of snapping fingers sounded, and Cronin suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain in his right hand.
"If it hurts, you can cry out. There's no shame in it."
Beichen said with a smile, the best way to deal with such a rude person who likes to point at people is to just twist his fingers off.
