Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Chapter 379 The 2nd Order



"Hei, why are you alienating me?"

In Ceylon's hand, she held the small device that Beichen had given her. The device was flashing red, which meant that the doctor's operation had been successful.

She could evacuate at any time, or simply pretend to surrender and be taken away, she had already delayed enough.

But, she still wants to be with Hei...

"Miss, you are a well-educated person in Victoria. You should go to a better place and don't stay in this city struggling with people like us."

This answer seemed correct, but to Hei it was completely against his will.

"No, no, you are lying. This is not your truth. Can't you even look into my eyes and speak now?"

Ceylon stared closely at Hei Dong's eyes, approaching her step by step, and the distance between the two continued to shorten.

"Hei, who are you in my heart? What kind of existence am I in your heart?"

Ceylon grabbed Hei's hand, which was cold and without any warmth. This was Ceylon's first feeling.

Just like before, Hei gently pulled his hand away.

"I am not what the young lady sees."

"Because you killed someone?"

Ceylon asked reluctantly.

Hei looked at Ceylon with surprised eyes, and the expression on his face became complicated.

"Because you have killed many people?"

"No, miss, stop that."

Hei could tolerate anyone mentioning these things, but he didn't want Ceylon to mention this.

"Hei, I already know your past, even just a little bit. If Hei asks me now, I'm sorry, I can't say 'I don't know'."

Ceylon tried to hold Hei's hand again, but this time, Hei didn't move away.

"I'm not a flower in the greenhouse, Hei. You should rely on me more, just like I used to rely on you."

"......"

"Remember, when I was a kid, I always shouted, 'Hei, come and help me!'? You would come to me quickly every time and help me solve all my problems."

"Now, if Hei says, 'I need Ceylon to help me,' I will definitely come. No matter what you say, I will listen!"

"........."

Hei still didn't speak, she closed her eyes.

Black exe, stop running (

"If we are friends, then we should do this. If you are the only one who keeps giving, then it is not really a friend."

Ceylon put his other hand on Hei's shoulder, forced Hei's head back to its side, and then stared into her eyes.

Let me go, it turns out you are number 1, Ceylon!

"So, Hei, can you help me now? I've already given my answer, so can you give me an answer? I don't care what happened to you in the past. Those things have long since passed. I just hope you can do it again." Be my friend for once, like you were when you were a kid.”

"I...I need Miss Ceylon's help."

Hei finally spoke, hesitantly, and whispered what Ceylon wanted to hear.

"Hei, you can let me hug you this time."

Seeing Hei who was about to retreat, Ceylan grabbed her wrist.

"What I learned in college was about Origin Stones. I no longer believe in the tricks you used to deceive me when you were a kid."

Ceylon tightly hugged Hei, whose hands had nowhere to rest.

"Miss... I apologize to you for my past words and deeds. What I did caused you to misunderstand a lot. None of this should have happened."

"Miss, you are my friend, always have been."

"What, what's going on? Why did you hug me while we were chatting?"

The bodyguard on the side said that eating melon is not a big deal.

"Not sure, let's see again."

"But Miss, I think we can still discuss the issue regarding your father."

Black suddenly remembered this question and she whispered.

"Hei, we just hugged each other, why are you saying such things now! However, this can't be my father's fault. Cronin must have deceived his father, which made him completely unaware of the volcanic eruption! "

"My father loves this city more than anyone else, and no one knows this better than me!"

"........."

Hei suddenly fell silent, listening to Ceylon talking about her father for a long time before she realized what was going on.

"A volcanic eruption? What Cronin is saying is that the young lady is planning to reveal all the secret incidents of the master's past and make him retire and face trial."

"Ah...ah? Is that so? No, what did my father do in the past?"

"No, it's nothing, that's not the point right now."

Kuroya realized that she had let something slip, and she decided to change the subject.

So Dad must have done something bad!

Ceylan looked at Hei with suspicious eyes, which made Hei feel a little uncomfortable.

"But this is also confirmed. Everything was done by Cronin. It was not my father who ordered Cronin to stop me."

Ceylon doesn't intend to pursue the past, she only cares about the present.

"Hei, if this is really the case, then I will apply for a more legally efficient channel to hold Cronin accountable. We must not simply fire him."

"black."

"Miss, I'm here, what are your next arrangements?"

Unknowingly, Hei had become accustomed to standing behind Ceylon.

So quick to betray!

"By sending real disaster reports through official channels, Rhode Island should be collecting evidence against Cronin and bring him to court soon."

"but........"

Ceylon frowned and continued.

"After the disaster report is released, the Obsidian Festival will most likely be cancelled. If time is tight... Siesta City will also have to be relocated. I'm afraid..."

"It's okay, miss."

Hei opened his mouth to comfort him. With her behind him, Ceylon felt a lot more at ease.

"Miss, do you need me to protect you?"

"Yeah, I need it."

Black took out his weapon.

"Then please hide, Miss. It will be over soon."

"Hei, what are you doing? Are you going to betray the order?"

The special crossbow bolt pierced his right shoulder as soon as he finished speaking, and before his consciousness disappeared, Hei's voice rang out.

"Order? Assist Cronin? It's just a disguise. From beginning to end, I only received two orders."

"First, the master wants me to thoroughly investigate the evidence of Cronin's crimes, including his secret control of V3 Industrial Company and private mining of obsidian."

"And the second order is what I just received."
