Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

After confirming Holhaiya's condition, Chen Ran began to look for the location of Christen's golden retriever.

Because from the moment Kjerag flew into space in a rocket to the moment the three gods descended to ask the Terrans what they thought.

For Chen Ran, it was probably just a short moment, but for the Terrans who rotated at a different speed, it was probably already quite a while.

It’s hard to say whether Christen has already started preparing to go to heaven.

So Chen Ran wanted to take a look, so that he wouldn't have to use a microscope to look for the dog in outer space.

"But where is the golden retriever now?"

"Maybe she's at the Rhine Life headquarters, maybe in her aircraft, the Wanxing Park, or maybe she's wandering somewhere else..."

The location is not fixed, and Chen Ran can't always look for it one place at a time.

But what a coincidence, isn't it? Chen Ran happened to know that someone would definitely spawn at a fixed location.

then--

Chen Ran tore off the roof of the Rhine Life headquarters building.

Then, he saw Muir Seth, who was sitting in the room with a cup of coffee, looking at him with a confused look on his face.

Muir Seth: "???"

No!

Oh, my God! Please don't stare at me alone!

My roof! It was just fixed this morning!

Muirseth wiped away his nonexistent tears and began to tearfully accuse: "God! I was drinking coffee and singing, and you suddenly ripped the roof off my house! At least give me some privacy!"

Unfortunately, in response to Muirseth's accusation, Chen Jueran only said, "Oh, it's here, as I said. Miu Miu, you rely on your water clone to go out. Your real body must be hiding here and never going out."

"God? God, did you hear what I said?"

Muirseth complained again, but suddenly realized: "Oh... No, that's not right. The God seemed to have said last time that the voice I spoke was too soft and He couldn't hear me - huh?!"

The water elf had indeed guessed correctly.

But unfortunately it was too late.

When Chen Ran lifted the roof of the Rhine Life headquarters and saw Muir Seth, he said, "Come here!" and reached out to grab Muir Seth in his palm.

Then Muir Seth was captured by Chen Ran with that all-too-classic girl's scream.

"ah--"

"Stop it, Miu Miu, your screams are too harsh."

Muir Seth: "..."

Muir Seth, who had been pretending to be weak, immediately pouted angrily when he heard Chen Ran say this: "It's all because of you, Lord God!"

The Demon Rabbit on the side: "?"

In the eyes of others, Muirseth's behavior was actually too presumptuous.

This caused the Demon Rabbit to frown slightly.

However, the Demon Rabbit glanced at Chen Ran and found that Chen Ran didn't seem to care about it. He touched his chin as if in a trance and muttered something:

"So, God-sama likes this...?"

And this is indeed the case.

Muirseth looked like he was throwing a tantrum, but while he was talking, he was actually secretly observing Chen Ran's reaction.

Seeing that Chen Ran was not angry at all, but smiled like last time and asked: "Why is it my fault?"

Muirseth finally breathed a sigh of relief. She put her hands on her hips and said, "What if I was using the restroom? Lord God, you suddenly ripped open my roof. What would I do then?"

"Who told you that only Miu Miu would spawn at a fixed location?"

"Is this some wild Pokémon?!"

"In that case, Miu Miu, why don't you just leave your real body with me and let the water clone go back?"

"..."

Muirseth blushed rarely at Chen Ran's suggestion.

After all, Muirseth has not forgotten what price she has to pay to make the elves move.

If her body stayed here, she would definitely be toyed with and abused in various ways...

Thinking of this, Muirseth glanced at Chen Ran stealthily again.

Fortunately, Chen Ran didn't continue to ask, but thought for a moment and said, "But what about going to the bathroom? Don't beautiful girls need to go to the bathroom?"

"Hum hum."

Muirseth was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he hummed softly: "Although I am very happy that you praised me like this, Lord God, but——"

"Oh, no, I mean,"

Chen Ran interrupted, "If you really want to pursue realism, Miu Miu, aren't you a water spirit? And urine is also water? Then Miu Miu, can't you just absorb it? Why do you still need to go to the toilet——"

"Whoa!"

Seeing that Chen Ran was getting more and more outrageous, Muirseth quickly interrupted him with a series of babbling noises, and even stretched out his little hand and slapped Chen Ran's palm: "Don't say weird things! Don't!"

No, actually Chen Ran had something else to say:

If it can really be absorbed, then can Muir Seth also do the opposite and actively expel the excess water in the body, directly creating a huge jet?

However, seeing that Muirseth was acting like his girlfriend and throwing a tantrum, Chen Ran didn't say anything.

After making a fuss for a while, Chen Ran finally got down to business: "Speaking of which, Miu Miu, do you know where that golden retriever is now?"

"Golden retriever puppy?"

Muir Seth was stunned: "Who is it?"

"Kristen."

"Christen...Puff..."

Muir Seth laughed so hard that his body shook with laughter: "Golden Retriever puppy...write it down, remember it, and tell her about it when I get back."

"Miu Miu, do you think you can go back?"

"Eh?"

Muirseth was bewildered. She raised her head, her cheeks flushed. "I know I have to pay the price... but I'll wait until I'm done with the elves' relocation and then—"

"Ah no."

Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "I'm not saying that you can't go back, Miu Miu. I'm saying that once that golden retriever, Kristen, goes to heaven, there's no going back."

Muir Seth: "..."

Chapter 116: Christen's method of going to heaven is actually no different from exploding a dog bowl.

Kristen's golden retriever wants to fly - does Muir Seth know about this?

The answer is informed.

Then Christen's journey to heaven is actually a one-way ticket, there is no return, and the ending is basically certain death - does Muir Seth know about this?

The answer is also informed.

"Terra has aircraft, but they can only fly to an altitude of around 6000 meters at most because there is a barrier above 6000 meters."

"And this barrier is what the Terrans call a 'star pod'."

"The Star Pod is a bit like an angel of comfort, like a cover that envelops the entire planet of Terra."

"However, unlike the humanitarian version of the extermination order, the Star Pod is more like the fog of war, hiding Terra from observers like the Lumberjack."

"Because of this, the Star Pod has no means of attack."

"When Skadi the Turbid led the Haisi clan to ascend, passing through the star pod was as easy as poking through a piece of paper."

"When the Demon Rabbit froze the entire planet, the Star Pods were also frozen solid."

"Even me, every time I reached into the interior of a planet, was there any obstruction from the so-called 'star pod'? No."

"But this is only relative. To us, the star pods are harmless, but to those small animals on Terra, they are an insurmountable obstacle."

"Although many Terrans have tried to uncover the truth about the 'Star Pod', they have all failed."

"And this includes Kristen and her parents."

"The failure and death of her parents became one of the triggers for Kristen to want to go to heaven."

"But the question is, how do we get into space? How do we break through the Star Pod? Even without the rocket tech tree, how do we get to outer space?"

"The answer is - strong enough to make the brick fly."

At this point, even Chen Ran himself laughed.

Although Muirseth certainly understood, Zhuoxin Skadi and Skadi, who had floated over from the side at some point, tilted their heads and showed eyes as clear and silly as those of college students.

Chen Ran thought for a moment before saying, "Have you ever blown up a dog bowl? It's like that where you light a firecracker, cover the dog bowl with it, and then when the firecracker goes off, the bowl goes flying up into the sky with a bang due to the impact."

Muir Seth: "..."

The look in this water elf's eyes was a little subtle.

"What Kristen's golden retriever did was dig a hole in the ground and then gather enough energy for the entire country to use for half a year into one point—it's like a firecracker."

"Then Kristen flew her aircraft over the pit and covered it up - this was the dog bowl."

"Once the energy in the pit exploded, Kristen's aircraft was blown up into the sky under the impact."

Muir Seth: "..."

Okay, now Muirseth's expression is more subtle.

After all, you have to know that Christen's plan is already at the most advanced technological level in Terra.

But when it fell into the mouth of this great god, it became a dog-eat-dog pot...

But Muirseth said nothing.

Because the second half of this plan should involve a series of things such as how to gather the energy again to penetrate the star pod, and then let the aircraft fly out of the hole.

But none of that matters anymore.

"Because the Star Pod is able to repair itself, even if a hole is pierced, it will be quickly filled and healed."

"That golden retriever, Kristen, used enough energy to power the entire country of Colombia for half a year just to take off and penetrate the star pod."

"Then the question arises: if Chris flies out, how will she get back once the star pod heals? Where can she find energy to replenish herself in outer space?"

"And as for bombing a dog bowl, have you ever seen a dog bowl that remains intact after being bombed? It disintegrates after the explosion."

Having said that, Chen Ran paused.

Then he lowered his head again and looked at Muirseth again. Chen Ran said, "So, Miu Miu, what price are you willing to pay this time for me to save Christen's life?"

Muir Seth: "..."

What do you mean by saving Kristen's life...

My Lord God, you sound like you're cursing me...

However, after hearing this, Muirseth was still stunned for a moment, then pointed at herself with a confused look on her face: "Eh...? Wait, wait a minute! Why does saving Christen require someone else to pay a price?"

"Because that golden retriever didn't want to go back in the first place. If you choose to let go of your desire to help others and respect their fate, then of course you don't have to care."

Chen Ran said: "But if you, Miu Miu, wanted to save that golden retriever and didn't want it to die like that, then you should have stopped Christen from going to the sky from the beginning. But judging from the plot of "Lone Star", you didn't do it, Miu Miu, and even Saria didn't do it."

Muirseth had heard Chen Ran talk about "Lone Star" many times. Although she didn't know the details, she could guess that it was probably something in the future.

So Muirseth did not refute it.

"Since we can't stop Christen from going to space, then we can only wait until Christen reaches outer space and then rescue her. But who can rescue someone in outer space?"

Chen Ran pointed at himself and said, "Of course it's me. I'm the only one who can save you, so naturally, Miu Miu, you can only come to me for help. And since it's you, Miu Miu, who's begging me, then you shouldn't come empty-handed, right?"

Muir Seth: "..."

Is this reasonable...?
