Tu Ran listened quietly, her chin resting on her knees, her eyes half closed, and her fingers fiddling with the gravel on the ground.

If she knew who explained all these things so clearly, she would definitely tell "him" -

Tu Ran pinched a three-centimeter-thick stone with her index and middle fingers, and it split neatly in half.

Ye Hongci stared at Tu Ran's fingers, and the words he hadn't said yet stopped at his lips.

Tu Ran patted the dust off her hands, stood up, patted the dust off her butt, and looked back at Ye Hongci, "Commander, let's stand up and talk. It's a little windy, so it's easier to keep your mind clear."

Ye Hongci stood up with one hand on the ground.

As soon as the two of them left the cover of the huge rock, the wind that was running wildly through the stone forest swept them away.

Tu Ran stood facing the wind, her loose hair fluttering wantonly in the wind, "Chief Ye, you exposed me so directly, aren't you afraid that I will do something desperate?"

"A cornered dog will jump over the wall?" Ye Hongci was amused by Tu Ran's description. "This is the first time I've seen someone use this phrase to describe themselves."

Tu Ran raised her eyebrows, "Is this idiom a derogatory word?"

The dog is so cute, just like Chubby.

She wants to gain weight.

It’s still more comfortable to stay with Pangpang. Every day I only have to think about what to eat next and don’t have to worry about all these messy things.

"Of course not." Ye Hongci smiled and shook his head, "But I suggest changing the wording. A cornered dog will jump over the wall only if it is pushed into a corner. I won't push you."

The wind was very strong, and it made Ye Hongci's usually neatly-knit short hair become messy and scattered like weeds.

"I am begging you."

The smile on Ye Hongci's face had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the seriousness and sincerity of a leader. "The world you once lived in regarded you as an enemy, wanted you, strangled you, and attempted to snatch your inner elixir, take over your abilities, and deprive you of your right to choose freely."

"In that world, you are alone and it is difficult to find a place to stay. So I ask you, please stay in the Harnden system."

Ye Hongci's soft yet firm voice mixed with the strong wind and blew on Tu Ran's face.

"The people of the Halden Galaxy will admire you and be grateful for all your contributions. You will become a hero in the eyes of the next generation of people in the Halden Galaxy. No one will want to possess or deprive you of all your abilities. You are still you. Within the scope permitted by the law, you can use your abilities freely. I hope you stay in the Halden Galaxy. At this moment, the Halden Galaxy... also needs you."

Tu Ran looked at the not-young leader in front of her. Wrinkles crept up her forehead and her hair was weathered by the wind and frost, but her eyes were always firm, her face was always tough, and her back was always straight. For the future of the Harnden galaxy, she was willing to run between life and death for decades.

Tu Ran knew why among so many leaders in the Harnden Galaxy, only Ye Hongci could be the spiritual pillar of all of them. Not only because she was a symbol of victory, but also because of her spiritual power that could destroy everything.

Tu Ran thought that if she was born in the Harnden galaxy, she would definitely regard Ye Hongci as her idol and a role model to follow.

It's a pity that she is not from this world.

She is not from the Federation either.

She wasn't nowhere to go. Wanted by the feds? No big deal.

She has her own real hometown.

Her hometown is better than these worlds.

…Although she hasn’t found a job yet. “I appreciate Chief Ye’s kindness, and it’s my honor to be favored by him. But it’s a pity that Chief Ye thinks too highly of me. I sympathize with what the Harnden Galaxy has suffered, but I can’t accomplish anything with my own strength.” Tu Ran showed regret.

"As Commander Ye knows, I do have superpowers. I am extremely strong and can move in an instant. But these powers are insignificant in front of the mecha. These superpowers are even difficult to kill the aliens in my world. I hope Commander Ye can have a clear understanding of superpowers and not have too many illusions."

Tu Ran's tone and expression were very sincere. "I was able to find the brown bear only by luck. My sensitivity is a little better than that of ordinary people, and with a little better luck, I found it. This is also based on the premise that the leader told me that there was a commander in the herd. If the leader hadn't reminded me, I would have been able to just shoot blindly."

Tu Ran's attitude towards the Harnden Galaxy has not changed.

She didn't want to get involved.

She was just a passer-by who happened to be passing by.

When the "door" appears, she will leave without hesitation.

The Harnden Galaxy would not be destroyed immediately if it left her.

As she said, her power alone is limited and she cannot save the world.

After being rejected, Ye Hongci showed a brief look of disappointment on her face, but she suppressed it so quickly that Tu Ran wondered if it was her illusion.

"I respect your decision."

Tu Ran, who was let go directly: “?”

Ye Hongci was convinced by her.

She blinked in surprise, not knowing where to put her hands for a moment.

Just let it go? No more words? Or use threats or bribes to coerce her?

Tu Ran was a little overwhelmed as it was the first time she was treated so kindly since she left the first world.

Ye Hongci obviously saw that she was at a loss, and felt helpless and distressed, "If I force you to stay here, are you willing to use your supernatural powers to help us?"

"Of course..." Unwilling.

"That's all." Ye Hongci had a faint smile on his face, but it was a bit bitter. "Human rights in the Harnden galaxy are still very good."

"Ha, indeed...indeed." Tu Ran avoided Ye Hongci's sincere gaze, lowered her eyes slightly, and nodded in agreement.

There was nothing else to say, so Ye Hongci looked up at the sky and said, "Go to bed early," then he looked at Tu Ran and joked, "Although you won't stay in the Harnden galaxy, you still have to deal with the alien beasts on star 4344 before you can leave."

"Oh." Tu Ran said in a listless tone. She felt very uncomfortable, as if a stone was pressing on her. She didn't know what the reason was.

"I have been informed about the mecha. The drone has not yet located the mecha. Once the location is confirmed, I will try my best to allow you to get the mecha based on the actual situation." Ye Hongci instructed again.

After finishing his instructions, Ye Hongci turned and walked towards his rest area.

Looking at her desolate back as she left, Tu Ran wanted to bite her nails, but felt that it was not very elegant. She resisted the urge and scratched her neck instead.

What's going on? Is she still uncomfortable with not having a knife at her neck for the first time? Is she a masochist?
