"What an unlovable little one..."
After Su Ran withdrew from the Akasha system, he discovered that the little "shuttlecock" had followed the residual traces and directly broken into the space station’s internal system.
Fortunately, he had whitelisted her beforehand.
Otherwise, this little shuttlecock would’ve been identified as a virus and erased on the spot.
At this mont, Nahida was facing Su Ran in the form of a virtual projection.
"Why did you invade the Akasha system?"
Surrounded by an entirely unfamiliar environnt, Nahida remained extrely cautious.
Especially the starry void outside—it looked real.
Through these advanced technological constructs, she could clearly sense that this level of technology was far beyond anything Teyvat currently possessed.
But this man was a bad person!
He had left sothing terrible behind in Suru!
"Because I’m a Fatui," Su Ran replied casually.
"And Fatui doing bad things—isn’t that only natural?"
He reached out and poked Nahida’s cheek.
Although he couldn’t physically touch her, Nahida—appearing as a virtual projection—could feel the sensation.
In other words, she could be bullied...
but had no way to fight back.
"Fatui...? Why... why do you do bad things?"
Unable to resist, Nahida could only endure his intrusion into her consciousness.
Her awareness was now trapped here.
The path back had been sealed.
She had beco fish on a cutting board—completely at his rcy.
"If I didn’t do bad things, I wouldn’t have joined the Fatui."
Faced with Su Ran, who treated evil as sothing self-evident, Nahida could only express her defiance through her unwavering gaze.
She had no other options.
She had originally just wanted to find him.
But after barging into his domain, she realized how impregnable it truly was.
There wasn’t a single exploitable flaw.
She felt regret—and powerlessness.
Especially after learning that Su Ran had left behind a whole series of troubles in Suru, her anxiety only grew stronger.
"Let go back!"
"Nope~"
Su Ran smiled.
"It’s actually quite nice having such a cute little shuttlecock on the space station.
When my staff get tired, they can co take a look at you and relax."
Although Su Ran didn’t like how Nahida would later deal with Scaramouche, at least from an external standpoint, Nahida was undeniably adorable.
And since those events hadn’t happened yet, there was no reason to comnt.
"Looks like the space station was invaded. Do you have any idea what happened?"
Ningguang had received the alert the mont Nahida broke in.
Even though the station hadn’t officially begun operations yet, she already possessed station-master-level authority.
That was why she was able to receive system notifications.
However, the presence of a whitelist left her confused.
She could only guess that this was Su Ran’s doing.
"It’s this little shuttlecock"
Su Ran stepped aside, revealing Nahida.
Ningguang frowned deeply.
She knew Su Ran liked beautiful won—but this was just a child.
Had he really sunk that low?
"Lesser Lord Kusanali of Suru," Su Ran explained.
"She crawled up the network cable and made her way into our space station."
Ningguang imdiately dismissed her earlier thoughts.
If it was the Lesser Lord Kusanali, then the one who truly needed protection...
was Su Ran himself.
"But space station technology shouldn’t be sothing a re god could interfere with."
A re god.
Hearing those words, Nahida felt her heart sink.
She had never imagined that in these people’s eyes, the Seven had fallen to the point of being described with the word re.
Did they truly feel no reverence at all toward gods?
Even if she herself was weak—
what about the others?
The Geo Archon of Liyue.
The Electro Archon of Inazuma.
The Anemo Archon of Mondstadt.
The Hydro Archon of Fontaine.
The Pyro Archon of Natlan.
Did none of them matter in these people’s eyes?
"I left a gap when I invaded Suru. She found the chance to slip in."
Ningguang looked at him in silence.
Now she finally understood what had happened.
And judging from the state the Dendro Archon was in, she could guess that Nahida had already been restrained.
Otherwise, Su Ran wouldn’t be this calm.
"So how do you plan to deal with her?"
Ningguang wasn’t a citizen of Suru.
She had no innate reverence toward the Lesser Lord.
And since Nahida was an intruder, she naturally felt no goodwill.
Even if Su Ran were to eliminate her on the spot, Ningguang wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.
At most, she’d sigh and think:
So even gods are this fragile.
"The ornantal fish haven’t arrived yet," Su Ran said casually.
"So let’s have the Lesser Lord serve as the station’s mascot for now."
Nahida: "..."
This was worse than killing her.
This was humiliation—absolute humiliation.
Not a shred of dignity left.
"You... you wicked heretics and villains!!!"
Clenching her tiny fists, Nahida glared at the two of them.
Even when her own people had imprisoned her, she had only felt confusion and sorrow.
But the existence of Su Ran and Ningguang—
filled her with rage.
"Isn’t this a bit too risky?" Ningguang frowned.
"She is the god of an entire nation. Even if you’re not worried, but..."
She felt this was improper.
It could easily spark conflict.
Snezhnaya might not care.
Inazuma might not fear the consequences.
But Liyue?
Liyue would inevitably co under pressure.
Especially now that the Geo Archon had retired.
"Small issue."
Su Ran reassured his future rich benefactor.
"I’ve already invaded Suru’s Akasha. With a single thought, I can control every Suru citizen wearing an Akasha Terminal."
"And as for the Akademiya—from top to bottom—not a single one slipped through the net."
Ningguang: "..."
This has officially crossed into supervillain territory.
She suddenly felt a bit guilty.
After all, deep down, she was still a kind-hearted person.
And that hesitation—
Nahida noticed it imdiately.
But she said nothing.
Because she knew— this man was the true embodint of evil.
That woman, on the other hand...
might still have a chance at redemption.
"Your evil sches will never succeed!"
Ningguang was montarily confused.
What evil sche?
"What exactly is our evil sche?" she asked instinctively.
"There isn’t one," Su Ran shrugged.
"I don’t have any plans in Suru. I just caused a little trouble."
Rainforest.
Desert.
Either too many mosquitoes or unbearably dry.
Why would he bother making grand plans there?
ssing around a bit was enough.
Seeing him refuse to admit anything, Nahida could only list his cris:
"You used the Akasha to control the people of Suru!"
"I just left a backdoor," Su Ran replied calmly.
"Besides Alhaitham, no one’s actually been controlled."
Nahida couldn’t understand how tolerant he could possibly be.
"I trapped all of Inazuma in a dream, denying them even the right to die.
I imprisoned the Geo Archon of Liyue and made him sit in a cell."
"I even created a Propagation Emanator capable of destroying all of Teyvat."
"Compared to all that, what’s wrong with leaving a backdoor in the Akasha?"
Nahida instinctively shrank back.
Compared to those atrocities, calling him a wicked heretic was practically a complint.
What kind of ultimate source of evil was this guy?!
