Arknights, but Taming Terra Chapter 21

Even if you went to the Sarcophagus now and pressed your ear against it, you'd still hear the Doctor laughing inside.

What's so funny about it... Honestly.

031. The Demon King Rabbit's Search Bar: Is Amiya a Rabbit or a Donkey?

"Oh, I see."

Amiya asked as if it were a casual question, and once she got her answer, she didn't say anything more.

She had traveled through too many timelines, seen too much, and had long since become numb.

She wasn't here to experience family or friendship; she was just here to watch the story unfold.

What did the NPCs in the story have to do with her? Amiya only cared if the story's ending would be a happy one for everyone.

"In that case, Doctor Kal'tsit, could you show me the survivor camp here?"

Amiya floated gently and said, "I'm quite curious about this story."

Kal'tsit: "... ..."

More than that, Kal'tsit was actually more curious. Forget Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, how could this Amiya fly too?

There were three Divine Messengers; two could fly, and one could only struggle on the ground. It was clear who was real and who was fake.

"Alright." However, Kal'tsit didn't care about such trivial matters. After speaking, she turned around. "Later, when some survivors see you, they might get a bit emotional. I hope you don't mind."

After all, the so-called survivor camp was initially built under Rhodes Island's leadership, so those survivors would naturally not be unfamiliar with Amiya.

"Ah... is it the same reaction as when you saw me just now, Doctor Kal'tsit?" Amiya asked.

Kal'tsit: "... ..."

Kal'tsit wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but why did she feel that this Amiya, known as the "Demon King Rabbit," had a somewhat erratic and mischievous personality?

"Alright, I was just kidding, Doctor Kal'tsit."

Amiya continued to chuckle lightly, but her eyes remained devoid of warmth. "Actually, I'm quite curious, Doctor Kal'tsit. Lord God said this timeline is the Sea Creatures' World-Ending Line, but how exactly do the Sea Creatures... end the world?"

"Didn't you say before, Amiya, that you've traveled through many timelines? Haven't you encountered a Sea Creature line?"

"No," Amiya shook her head, her confusion seemingly genuine. "In so many timelines, I've seen the modifications of 'Heaven's Point,' I've seen 'Originium' cover the land, but only the 'Deep Blue Tree'... has always been well-behaved."

To the extent that the first time Amiya heard about the Sea Creatures ending the world from Chen Ran, Amiya's first reaction was that those well-behaved little creatures could actually get angry?

"So I'm very curious," Amiya floated in front of Kal'tsit, her expression sincere. "How did the people on your timeline manage it?"

Kal'tsit: "... ..."

Don't just say you're curious; I'm actually quite curious too.

... ... ...

... ...

"Alright, I'll pick up that little rabbit later."

After Chen Ran sent the Demon King Rabbit into the planet model, he withdrew his hand and muttered, "No... why does that sound like I'm sending my own daughter to kindergarten?"

Fortunately, before Chen Ran could dwell on it, the crunching sound from his shoulder caught his attention.

He turned his head and saw Heart of the Corrupted Skadi sitting on his shoulder, having already cracked open the walnut.

"You've got pretty good teeth," Chen Ran quipped.

As soon as Heart of the Corrupted Skadi heard this, she first looked at the walnut in her hand, which was already showing its flesh, then looked at Chen Ran.

With a sorrowful expression, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi offered the walnut in her hand to Chen Ran.

"It's not that serious, it's not that serious, I'm not going to snatch your food."

Chen Ran waved his hand, amused by the situation.

Seeing Heart of the Corrupted Skadi happily continue to nibble on the walnut like a little squirrel, Chen Ran turned and walked to his desk.

"So what exactly did that little rabbit search for earlier that made her attitude towards me even more respectful?"

Chen Ran reached out and picked up his phone from the desk.

He lit up the screen and looked at the browsing history.

He found that Amiya, the Demon King Rabbit, had indeed typed her name into the search bar at first.

And then there was no "then."

"So what's wrong with this entry?"

Seeing this, Chen Ran naturally tried clicking on the search bar himself. After typing in the three characters "Amiya"—

° Degree Search: Amiya

"Related Entry: Is Amiya a Rabbit or a Donkey?"

"... ..."

"Good grief, I think I know why that little rabbit stopped searching further."

Perhaps in Amiya's eyes, he was just toying with her.

She wanted to ask for the method to break free from salvation, and the divine being told her to search herself, only for her to find this kind of thing?

Isn't this the same as when some teachers say, "If you have any questions you don't understand, feel free to ask me"?

But when you actually go to them, the teacher says, "You're really asking me? How could you ask such a simple question?"

Especially since Chen Ran later tugged on her rabbit tail again, that probably sealed the deal in Amiya's mind.

This misunderstanding seems to be quite significant.

Moreover, Chen Ran clicked on the search, flipped through it, and then opened the image tab.

As a result, a picture of Amiya as a nun with whipped cream popped into Chen Ran's view.

Chen Ran: "?"

Where did this come from? Is this still China?

Forget it.

Fortunately, Amiya didn't search. Let's enable the youth mode on her phone first to prevent addiction.

Otherwise, Amiya might become an internet addict like Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, and while browsing the internet, she might stumble upon lewd pictures of herself.

Oh right, and Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's phone too.

After doing all this, Chen Ran finally reached out and pulled down Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who was sitting on his shoulder, and placed her on the table.

"Alright, Red T, play by yourself for a bit. I'm going to get some things," Chen Ran waved his hand and turned to leave.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who was sitting on the table gnawing on a walnut, also waved her little hand.

However, as soon as Chen Ran left the living room, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi threw the walnut in her hand into the fish tank, then floated over and picked up her phone to browse.

But as she browsed, the youth mode that popped up on the screen made Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's little face fall.

As if she had instantly graduated from being an internet addict, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi lost interest in her phone, put it aside, fished the walnut out of the fish tank, and continued to gnaw on it.

It wasn't until much later, when Chen Ran returned with large and small boxes, that he looked a bit surprised: "It's rare not to see you playing on your phone, Red T? What's wrong, are you still more interested in food?"

After all, with those lazy Sea Creatures as a reference, Chen Ran genuinely thought that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was also more interested in food.

Instead of the phone being put into youth mode, which prevented Heart of the Corrupted Skadi from seeing certain things.

032. As a result, the 'Holy Sword' in Kal'tsit's hand turned into a flashlight to summon the divine being.

"Lord God."

Seeing Chen Ran return, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, holding her walnut, floated up and naturally sat on Chen Ran's shoulder.

Then she lowered her head and looked at the large and small boxes Chen Ran had brought back.

"Lord God, what are these?"

"Got some things for that little rabbit," Chen Ran replied.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi blinked her little eyes: "Nothing for me?"

"You have them,"

Chen Ran said as he opened the boxes.

First, he took out a box of doll-sized clothes, opened it, and inside were Amiya's classic skins from the game.

Clothes... Heart of the Corrupted Skadi nodded her little head. She did have these.

Then he took out a small princess bed and placed it next to Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's own.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi nodded her little head again. She had this too.

Finally, Chen Ran took out a few wooden boards.

He pieced them together, forming a miniature castle, scaled down to resemble one from a playhouse.

"I don't have this!" Heart of the Corrupted Skadi immediately exclaimed.

"This is for you and that little rabbit to live in together."

Chen Ran looked at the item, which, although called a small castle, was almost as tall as himself once assembled, and nodded with satisfaction.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was the first one he had brought over. At that time, he wasn't mentally prepared, so he just gave her whatever came to mind.

Now that he had experience, he decided to get everything ready for Amiya at once.

As for what else was missing... he'd think about it later.

For example, Chen Ran was quite curious now whether Heart of the Corrupted Skadi and the Demon King Rabbit, one a Sea Creature and the other Originium, needed to use the restroom.

While Chen Ran was still pondering this, he saw Heart of the Corrupted Skadi float off his shoulder, drift to the small castle, open the small door, and go in for a look around.

After coming out, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi floated directly in front of Chen Ran, looking at him with her little eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ran reached out and grabbed Heart of the Corrupted Skadi by the scruff of her neck, pulling her a little further away to avoid getting cross-eyed.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi remained silent, being carried as if she were a kitten who had lost its can and lost all hope.

Chen Ran's emotional intelligence wasn't negative, but...

When it came to Sea Creatures, human emotional intelligence probably didn't apply.

So, after thinking about it, Chen Ran took a bag of biscuits from his pocket and stuffed it into Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's arms. "Here, this is for you."

After giving them to her, seeing that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi still looked like she had lost her dreams, Chen Ran added, "Take it. This is something that little rabbit doesn't have. It's just for you, Red T."

Upon hearing this, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's little eyes immediately lit up.

"Really?"

"Really, really."

And so, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, clutching her biscuits, happily sat on Chen Ran's shoulder.

"Trying to win my favor, huh?" Chen Ran understood immediately. "I should have enabled the parental controls on your phone earlier. What have you been watching?"

If this competition for favor was between a man and a woman, Chen Ran wouldn't have said anything.

But the key was that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's behavior was more like owning a cat at home, but then going to a cat cafe for a visit, and coming back to find your cat hissing at you.

As a result, Chen Ran waited until Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had finished the entire bag of biscuits before he reached out and poked her little belly.

"Those biscuits were bigger than you are, Red T, and you ate them all. How come your belly didn't get bigger?"

It seemed she had a very strong capacity for acceptance.

If she could stuff so many biscuits in, what about other things?

Chen Ran thought this as he poked Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's little belly a few more times, poking until Heart of the Corrupted Skadi looked up at him with a confused expression.

Although she didn't know the meaning behind Lord God's actions, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi still proactively lifted the hem of her clothes, allowing Chen Ran to poke more easily—
