Green glanced at her, but gestured to Anis and Nian.
Anis and Nian understood what she meant, and looked at each other. They walked forward, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Liflin in the middle like door gods. Anis even stretched out her hand and directly grabbed Liflin's shoulder, calling it "checking the wound", but in fact she wanted to hold her to prevent her from escaping.
Boom!
Green moved a stone and sat down in front of Levering.
"Now, speak up."
"What is your relationship with Xisiou? What is your purpose in joining the exploration team?"
"Um... Commander, before answering this question, I'd like to ask, are you a very powerful person in the Ark?"
"I am the first commander to set foot on an uncharted frontier in this century. Does this answer satisfy you?"
Green replied calmly, "Besides, I'm not unaware of Sisi's existence. The person you're so afraid of meeting is nothing more than a drug dealer in hiding to me. So, why not speak openly about it? I might even negotiate with the central government to have them reduce your punishment."
“This is like this…Ahahaha…”
"Commander, you may not know that Sisio is no ordinary drug dealer. He controls the Ark's dark web and is the ruler of the Ark's underground forces. Even someone like you would be in big trouble if you messed with him."
Lieflin swallowed and spoke a little nervously.
"is it?"
"Ruler of the Ark Dark Web and underground forces, what a grand title."
“But there’s a problem.”
"If he really has such great abilities, why would he make things so difficult for a mere courier like you?"
Green shook his head and said, "Actually, there are some things that I can tell even if you don't say them."
"First of all, this exploration mission doesn't need a courier like you, let alone one who wears designer clothes and likes to keep up with the latest trends. I'm guessing someone must have used their connections in the central government to arrange for you to be included."
"Secondly."
"Your purpose is so obvious. The moment you see something new and exciting, you immediately frantically start taking photos and fiddling with your phone, claiming you've got a client. Honestly, that's not the way a money-making Nikki would act. If it were me, I'd calmly lay out all the photos, bid as much as I could, and land myself a big client and make a killing. I have the initiative, so why panic?"
"at last."
"I want to ask you a question."
"Livlin, are you really being coerced by Sisio, or are you working for him voluntarily?"
Green tapped his knuckles lightly.
His deep eyes were fixed on Levering's face, as if he had already seen through her nature.
Being stared at by him, Liflin couldn't help swallowing.
She knew her next answer would affect her future, but looking at the current situation, if she didn't persuade him with emotion and reason, she might have to stay in the rehabilitation center for the rest of her life: "Well, that... Commander, I was really coerced by Sisio!"
"Some of the things I said before were not lies to you."
"You know, in a place like the Ark, where most jobs are being replaced by drones and intelligent robots, that meager salary is barely enough to support my life. Furthermore, we're Nikki. We work longer hours and are more tiring, yet our salaries are much lower than those of humans."
"Our lives are so difficult, so I want to... I want to improve my life! But what can I do? As a courier working in a declining industry, even making ends meet is becoming a problem, let alone rising through the social ladder."
"Then, by chance, I suddenly received a mysterious mission."
"Just deliver a package to its destination and walk away, and you'll earn tons of credits..."
"I admit that I was blinded by greed back then. I was blinded by profit, which is why I did such a thing, even involving my friend's sister. Honestly, I truly regret it and even wanted to quit. But, I... I really had no choice, Commander."
"To you, Sisio is just a drug dealer, but to me, he's like a nightmare, haunting me and threatening me all the time. If I don't obey his orders, not only will I suffer, but perhaps even those around me will suffer."
"so……"
Delilin stood aside, silently listening to Lieflin's defense. Upon hearing this, the straightforward little girl angrily retorted: "After saying so much, couldn't you have just not accepted this kind of mission in the first place?!"
"What's wrong with working hard to make money? Why do you have to believe in pie-in-the-sky things? In the end, you find yourself like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others."
"Yes, sorry!"
"Why are you saying sorry to me? You haven't done anything to make me feel sorry. If you really have to say sorry, just say it to yourself. It's you who ruined your life like this."
Delilin clearly disliked cowards like Lieflin. She turned her head away and said indignantly, "Hamilin and I are usually engaged in mining, but if we wanted to, we could always hide some valuable minerals and sell them to those in need. But even so, we have never done anything like that."
"Because we know very well that only by earning money through hard work can we feel at ease when we get paid."
"Even if the salary isn't that high, at least we're free and can do everything with integrity and a clear conscience. And you, you're too weak, Levering. Even if you're really short of money, you can't do anything that goes against your principles!"
"I'm sorry, I really do repent!"
Levering pleaded with a pale face.
"If you truly repent, please delete all the photos you just took, as well as Xisiou's contact information."
Green thought for a moment, then gave the order: "As long as you swear not to repeat the same mistake and work with Xi Siou from now on, I don't mind helping you."
"Yes, I, I swear! I will never have any contact with Xisiou again!"
Levering swore hastily and seriously.
"Fragile, did you hear that?"
Green turned to look at Fragil, who had already stood up, and then said, "Livlin has sworn."
"Yes, I heard you, Commander."
The gloom on Fragile's face dissipated a little.
But even so, when her gloomy eyes swept over him, Liflin could still sense a hint of distrust.
"Although Levering swore an oath, I've seen many similar people, just like those gamblers who frequent casinos. One moment they tearfully swear to their parents they'll never gamble again, but the next second they're back in the casino, squandering their wealth."
Green stood up from the stone and said, "Fragile, you have to keep an eye on her. If Liflin does something like that again, don't shoot her. Bring her to me and I will help you solve this problem."
"Understood, Commander."
"I'll do it, Levering, and you will too?"
"Ah... Of course, Fragil... You really scared me just now."
Levering slapped his chest twice and gasped twice in shock.
"Even Sisio didn't scare you to death, but I can scare you like this? Haha."
Fragil glanced at Lieflin with a pair of gloomy eyes, and then said: "Thanks to the commander's help, your life was saved. You and I owe him one, Lieflin."
"Don't let me down again, Liflin. Remember what you agreed to with me. I made this agreement with you only after I knew you were deceived by Sisio. You were also one of the victims."
"but……"
"If I find out that you are actively helping him, I will never let you go."
The dispute between Fragil and Levering is over.
Green motioned the two to go aside, then turned to look at Hamelin, the hammer girl who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word.
Things are not going well in Hamelin.
While dodging Letcher, she accidentally had a crystal pierce her chest, and Liverin was unable to help. By the time Green led the team, the crystal had taken root in her chest. If they wanted to remove it, they would have to cut her body in half and dig out the entire crystal.
"Hamilin, are you okay?"
Green squatted beside Hamelin and asked with concern.
"Huh, huh... Fortunately, at least I'm still conscious. Commander, we really gained a lot this time, whether it's the Rubik's Cube or the Crystal. It feels so worth it to have the privilege of witnessing such a bizarre scene in this lifetime!"
Hamelin's body had clearly been deeply eroded by the crystals, but he still managed to show a very happy expression.
"If you die, none of this will be worth it, Hamelin."
"Shefty, is there any way to remove the crystal from Hamelin's body?"
Green didn't waste any time and immediately consulted Xie Futi.
"Commander, the crystals in Hamelin's body have been severely corroded. Some have even spread to his core, making them impossible to remove. I suggest you separate Hamelin's head from his body, store it in Nikki's life support system, and then transport it back to base to replace him with a spare body. This is the best option at this moment."
Shefti.
"it is good."
"Sorry, Hamelin, it might hurt a little."
"Just bear with it, okay?"
"Okay, I'm fine, Commander!"
Green sighed and waved to Rabi, who then took out a small box-shaped device from the supply box.
This is a small life-support capsule used to store Nikki's head. The solution soaked in it can ensure that Nikki's brain can survive after losing her body.
"Let me do it, Commander."
Rabi squatted down, took out a cutting knife from his waist, removed Hamelin's head, and carefully placed it in the life support device.
"The missing persons have all returned. Let's go back to the base first."
"Glavy, do you want to come with me?"
"..."
"No, I won't go."
"Treatment of Cinderella requires a large amount of electricity and the computing power of the Rubik's Cube. Furthermore, this crystal can also block the ability of heretics to detect each other. Once you leave this area, the heretics will immediately detect Cinderella's location and come to snatch her away."
Gravey shook his head and declined Green's proposal: "If you have something to do, go back first. I will wait for you here."
"That's strange. Aren't you very anxious? Every time you mention Cinderella, it seems like you're extremely anxious."
Anis curled her lips and said curiously.
"I've been carrying her for years, so a little while won't make a difference."
Glavy replied calmly.
"Okay, let's go back."
"Um……"
"But what is that?"
Green picked up the telescope and aimed at a small black dot on a tall building not far away.
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone looking at him.
Is it his imagination?
Click.
Green gently turned the telescope and zoomed in again, and at this moment, he finally saw the face of the "black spot": a woman with a bright smile.
The woman's body arched slightly, and the next moment, she rushed towards this side like a spring.
boom!
Behemoth fell from the sky, accompanied by flying smoke and dust, and she directly smashed a big hole in the ground.
As soon as Grave saw her, his eyes widened and he called out her name: "The Four Beasts... the Heretic, Behemoth!"
"Yes, that's right, it's me."
Behemoth grinned, fanning the dust around her with her hand. Then she boasted, "Well, my appearance was pretty cool, wasn't it? Haha, I never expected to run into strangers just out in the sun. And the great senior, Anakiole, is here too. This is truly a double blessing."
"!!!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Anis, Nian, alert immediately!"
Although Behemoth's attitude was easygoing, Rabi still felt an unprecedented pressure from Behemoth.
At her command, three members of the counterattack force immediately raised their guns and aimed at Besmos's forehead.
"Hey, you two, this is our first meeting, so don't be so aggressive. There's a saying that goes, 'communication is the bridge to progress. Look, I didn't attack you, did I?'"
"How about we just chat for a few minutes?"
Behemoth smiled proudly. She couldn't wait to recite the opening line of the Four Beasts Army that she had composed herself, but in the blink of an eye, she suddenly discovered that there was a handsome guy in this team.
"Oh, this is... a man?!"
