NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

Green: "I'll be right there."

Hang up the communication.

Green immediately put on his backpack, called on the counterattack troops who had already packed their luggage, and set off towards the location provided by Lepchilian.

The destination was not particularly far away. With Green's walking speed, it would take about two or three hours to get there.

However, what surprised him was that the Letchers near the paradise were far more ferocious and more numerous than those near the Ark. Lepkilian could survive in such a place, so he could be considered a Letcher immortal at the very least.

"Commander, this is not the direction back to the Ark. What are we going to do?" On the way, Lavi seemed to notice that the route had deviated and then asked.

"Go help an old friend, Lepkilian, remember him?" Green said.

"Is it the Letcher scholar who was dressed like a beggar?" When Anis heard the name, a slovenly beggar image flashed in her mind. "Hmm, I didn't expect he was still alive."

"As long as someone like him is alive, the powerful people in the Ark will be unable to sit still." Green joked.

"Master! The target location is not far ahead. We've spotted a Letcher cluster and two Nikkis!"

"And he's an acquaintance!" Nian put down the telescope and shouted to Green.

"Who?"

"The two who were chasing Marian before!"

"It's the Danger Zone unit." After confirming the killer's identity, Green waved to Nikki and the others, "I'll handle this. You guys cover me."

"understood."

On the wilderness.

A group of letchers in the shape of sea creatures surrounded Lepkilian and fled in a swarm.

As for Lepkilian, he was not in good condition.

Not only was most of the Letcher armor on his body torn off, but both of his feet were exposed. But even so, the Letchers surrounding him still did not attack him. Instead, they continued to protect him in the middle and escorted him to escape.

"Lepchilian, here."

"Oh, thank God!"

"Friend, please cover me!"

Lepchilian looked at Green waving in front of him, and immediately commanded Letcher to come to him as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Anis and the other three who were holding guns nearby were stunned by the scene.

"How strange."

"I've been fighting on the ground for so long, but this is the first time I've seen a human being escape under Letcher's protection."

"How on earth does he communicate with Letcher?" Anis sighed and smacked her lips. She was a Nikki of some age and had seen many strange things, but this was the first time she had seen a human being who could tame Letcher.

"I don't know, but when I think about it, it seems like raising Letcher is pretty good."

"It doesn't shed hair, doesn't need to be fed, isn't noisy, and will even help you fight people when you're in danger. This is simply everyone's dream companion pet!" Nian's imagination was opened up, and he directly extended his thoughts to the pet industry.

"Sacred gold."

"Who has nothing better to do than keep a metal machine as a pet?" Anis pouted.

"Eh? Hasn't Kelita been raising her mechanical dog?" Nian blinked and asked her back.

"Well, I didn't expect that, but Rita is indeed a weird girl. Who would take a mechanical dog for a walk all day and feed it when they have nothing to do." Anis really couldn't understand why Rita took her mechanical dog "Volt" for a walk every day.

After all, it’s not a real dog!

The counterattack troops were chatting, and D and K, who were chasing Lepchilian, also caught up.

But Green stood in front of the two Nikkis, like a high wall blocking their way.

"Captain Green, please stand back, we are hunting down the traitors."

"If you continue to stop us, we have the right to treat you as a traitor."

D, wrapped in a black robe and hood, raised his pistol and pointed it at Green.

However, he remained unmoved and simply said to the two, "I must explain to my friend that Lepchilian is innocent. There is nothing false in the articles he published. As for why, didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

"Letcher escorted humans to escape. Have you ever seen such a thing happen again?"

"this..."

D and K looked at each other.

The facts were laid out before them, and they had no reason to refute.

Green turned his gaze towards D, and that burning look seemed to sting her a little. "I know you have always been assassins serving the Ark, but this time, for my sake, please let him go."

"What's the reason?"

"Lepchilian is a valuable asset to this world. Ark has known very little about Letcher, but he has taken a historic step that may become a key factor in reclaiming the land."

"Secondly..."

“If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.”

"Since I've chosen to protect him, I must also shoulder this responsibility. I won't allow him to continue making any comments on the Ark. If anything happens to Lepchilian in the future, you can always come and judge me."

Green held out his hand to D.

The words "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight" also moved D under the hood.

As a killer hiding in the dark side of the Ark, Nikki is responsible for handling all kinds of dirty work.

D has always admired those who can shoulder responsibilities.

It is said that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

The same is true for those in high positions. They must be responsible for themselves, their friends, and their loved ones for every choice they make.

And it has to be said that the commander in front of us has already achieved the ultimate in this regard.

Going to the surface for Marian, taking responsibility for Lepchelian.

His words indeed carry weight.

D pondered for a moment, then put away his gun. "Since you said so, I'll let him go this time."

"But remember the promise you made."

"Don't let that man's articles appear on any Ark forum again, otherwise the central government will hold you accountable."

"Thank you, D." Green smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to the face hidden under the hood.

"You're welcome. Just consider it as repaying the favor I owe you last time."

D nodded slightly.

Then, she suddenly walked up to Green and whispered in his ear.

"Wait for me in the commander's room after we return to the Ark."

"I have a mission I want to discuss with you."

Chapter 4000: The Crime of a Common Man ()

"Go back, K."

D said this and turned away.

"Huh? Are you done already?" K scratched his slightly messy hair and looked at Green with a hint of helplessness. "I've noticed that any mission involving you always has a lot of complicated inside stories. It's really annoying."

"Just consider it a favor, okay?" Green smiled.

"Ha, that's fine. We didn't want to arrest that weird guy who was hanging out with Letcher in the first place. Who knows if he'll call in a few Letchers to retaliate against us one day? Let's just pretend this never happened."

K put the brass knuckle-shaped gun in her hand on her waist and waved at Green nonchalantly. It seemed that she really didn't like the mission assigned to them by Shuen this time.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Lepkilian didn't do anything bad. Since you've guaranteed him, we have no reason to hunt him down."

"But are you sure you want to take her back to the Ark?"

K narrowed his eyes and looked at Marian who was standing far behind Green.

She vaguely remembered that the girl knocked her and D down with her bare hands.

The two men from the Dangerous Seat unit suffered their first major defeat in their lives, and it was such a humiliating defeat at the hands of Marian. If the other Nikkis knew about this, it would probably be something they would talk about for the rest of their lives.

"Can't you?"

"Yes, I can, but I still want to remind you."

"The central government's arrest warrant for Marian remains in place. Although you escaped the initial wave of pursuit by going to the surface, you should understand her value." K closed his eyes and repeated what he had heard from Burnim. "I've heard Burnim say before that if we can dissect Marian, Ark's Nikki technology will advance another hundred years."

"With a hundred years of head start, we might be able to directly overthrow Letcher and retake the ground."

"So, why are you so persistent in protecting her, even at the cost of making the entire Ark your enemy? I want to hear your answer."

"K, don't ask too many irrelevant questions." D reminded K, signaling her to be quiet, but K was a natural chatterbox, the kind that couldn't stop talking for a moment: "Since we finally made it to the surface, you should at least let me chat for a few minutes, right?"

"......"

"Then hurry up! We have to go back and report to Shu En. You know that CEO's temper."

"Okay, okay."

"I'm just asking a few questions."

"Well, could you please tell me your answer?"

In response to K's question, Green shook his head and said briefly, "Most of the Ark's higher-ups think my stance is too extreme and harsh. That's because they weren't the ones making the sacrifice. Because of this, they can certainly stand on the moral high ground and force me to hand over Marian at my expense. But I can't."

"I won't sacrifice any of my companions, that's all."

"Is this answer enough to satisfy you?"

"Thank you, I'm very satisfied." K nodded and praised, "I have to say, I think you are a very principled person. You could have risen in rank by turning Nikki in, but you chose the more difficult path. A commander like you will surely achieve great things in the future."

"But it's very likely that next time we meet, we won't be able to chat so calmly."

"why?"

"Because Fang Zhou will not compromise, and neither will you, right?" K reminded him, "I don't want to engage in war with you, so please come up with a solution."

"In order to keep Marian by my side, I suffered a lot and gained a lot of valuable things." Green sighed slightly, his eyes suddenly sharp. "So, it's Fang Zhou who should find a solution, not me."

"Tell Burnim that if he continues to be aggressive, I guarantee that the Ark will lose more than it gains."

"This is not a threat, but my ultimatum."

"Okay, got it."

"But no matter what, think about it. A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. It's best not to let that Nikki named Marian show up on the Ark. I know the nature of those human leaders very well. Even if they agree on the surface, they still have plenty of ways to torment you in private."

"Goodbye."

The small talk is over.

D and K turned and strode away.

As the assassins of the Ark, the two of them would definitely not stay on the ground for long.

Green looked at the two men walking away quickly, then turned around and returned to the team.

"Where's Lepkilian?"

"He has been escorted far away by Letcher." Lavi looked behind him. That was the direction where Lepchilian left. As for where he was going to escape, no one knew.

"After this battle, there's no place for him on the Ark anymore." Speaking of his old friend, Lepkilian, Green could only offer his best wishes. "I hope he can use his ability to tame Letcher to find a safe place on the surface."

"Also, did you all hear the conversation just now?"

"Yes, Commander."

Rabbi nodded. They were standing not far away and heard the conversation between Green and K clearly.

Green looked at her: "Lavi, what do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Lavi said, "Commander, I think it's best to find a place for Marian to stay temporarily. Once the situation has completely stabilized, we can bring her back."

Green looked at Anis: "Where's Anis?"

Anis pursed her lips and said, "I don't have any objections. If I must say anything, I think Paradise is definitely not a good place for foster care. That Dorothy Nikki doesn't look like a kind woman at first glance. If we leave Marianne to her, she'll definitely instill some strange ideas into her."
