Swordsman Returns from Another World

The dream was filled with joy, which made Chen Huijie feel irresistible, and perhaps also changed her subtly.

………………

After waking up, Chen Huijie slowly recalled how she fainted, but she was not too anxious. She understood that Tallulah did that just to calm her down.

When she sat up from Tallulah's bed and looked around, Baiyou had already left, and she and Tallulah were the only ones left in the room.

"...Where's the white glaze?" She rubbed her head.

"White Glaze still had a lot to deal with, so he left."

Tallulah sat in a sofa chair, holding a book in her hands and crossing her legs, still looking so noble and elegant.

Chen Huijie looked at her sister, not knowing what to say. She seemed to feel that she woke up once in the middle of her sleep and said a few words to Tallulah, who also kissed her forehead.

But it was confused with the later dream, making her unsure.

"I... was I awake before?" She frowned. "I felt like I talked to you or something, but you looked so weird."

Tallulah paused, but then said, "You did wake up once, and I put you back to sleep. It's nothing."

"Has Baiyou already passed away by then?" Chen Huijie asked again.

“…No, no.” Tallulah did not choose to lie to her sister, but just said it ambiguously: “It’s just that you didn’t see him.”

After all, at that time, Bai You was covering herself with Tallulah's long skirt, straightening her waist and holding her tail to plow the field.

"Is that so... Oh." Chen Huijie sighed: "I don't understand, sister, I... can't understand why you have to do this."

"Why do you have to worry about your life so much? Why do you use the excuse of not knowing when you will die to justify your promiscuity?"

"This is not an excuse, Huijie." Talullah whispered, "When I was in the tundra, there were many people in the army who loved each other. We will leave appropriate space for them."

"They even gave birth to their child in a hunter's cabin that was so dilapidated that it couldn't block the wind. That day, Shuangxing and I held up a cloth with our hands to block the holes outside the cabin that were leaking air—because we didn't even have any nails."

There was no smile on her face, only empty sorrow and a determination not to leave any regrets: "The next day, the infected hunters hired by Ursus found us."

"The two men were dead, and a crossbow arrow pierced the swaddling clothes, leaving the child with an indelible wound."

"She is in Rhode Island now. While receiving treatment, she is trying to study like other refugee children. A Carters woman named Violence is their teacher."

Chen Huijie remained silent.

"... Huijie, do you think they shouldn't love each other and give birth to this child?" Tallulah continued, "She was born with mineral disease, but... she is also our little happy pill. Even when I was controlled by Kosice, Kosice still allocated troops to protect these children."

"Huijie, do you think it's inappropriate to love someone in the midst of suffering?" Tallulah raised her head and looked at Chen Huijie.

Chen Huijie couldn't give an answer.

The world she saw was so different from what Tallulah had experienced.

"I like him, I love him, I know what kind of path he will take, I have walked that path before, so I know how many difficulties there will be." Tallulah's eyes were firm, even a little cold: "So I am still a fighter for the infected, facing my own emotions, that's all, Huijie."

"Sister..." Chen Huijie felt a little sad because she finally understood at this moment.

Tallulah will not return to Longmen, and will not become the Tallulah of her childhood. She has witnessed the brutality of Ursus and experienced the pain of the infected, so she will not turn a blind eye.

She would not return to her little piece of land in Longmen and continue to be the so-called eldest lady Tallulah.

I will never give up loving white glaze.

"I understand... Sister."

Chen Huijie stood up, picked up his Chixiao, slung it behind his waist, and put on his boots.

She opened the door, was silent for a moment, and said without turning her head: "I will try to understand this path, and I will try to help you, sister."

"Huijie, if possible, I hope you will never be involved in this." Tallulah closed the book in her hand and said without raising her head.

"If you and Bai You are going to save all the infected people in the world, then I have no reason not to follow you." Chen Huijie left a word, walked out of the room in a cool manner and headed outside.

She has made up her mind.

Watching her sister leave, Tallulah's heart was filled with emotions that could not calm down for a long time.

………………

"The Integration Movement still needs to continue to exist," said Frost Star.

Lyudmila, who was helping out in the medical department, was stunned. She turned her head in surprise while holding a bunch of medical equipment and looked at Shuangxing who suddenly came to find her. She was confused and said, "Huh?"

Froststar sighed and continued, "Didn't you hear what I said, Lyudmila? I said that the Integration Movement still needs to exist."

"What do you mean?" Lyudmila put down what she was holding, very confused.

"This is not the place to talk, let's change seats." Frost Star waved her hand.

Lyudmila followed Froststar and left the medical area. The two walked along the corridor until they entered a remote meeting room.

As soon as she entered the meeting room, Lyudmila was shocked.

There were quite a lot of people in the conference room.

The red-haired Fidelian, the masked "Red Knife" Ursus swordsman, the tall Bozhuoka Siti... all the former leaders and outstanding figures of the Integration Movement gathered here.

The atmosphere was solemn.

"You, what are you doing?!" Lyudmila was incredulous. "There's a cure for mineral sickness, right? Why are you still gathering here and being so secretive?"

"You want to betray Rhodes Island?!"

Bozhuoka Siti turned her head and looked at her.

Only then did Lyudmila realize that there was another person standing next to Bozhukasiti.

The man turned around and it was Kal'tsit.

Chapter 216: New Integration Movement

Kal'tsit seemed to be talking to Bozhuka Siti in a low voice, and Lyudmila couldn't hear clearly.

The atmosphere in the conference room was so solemn. The leaders and important members of the Integration Movement gathered here. Some of them were sitting or standing. The room was dark without lights on, and only the shadows of people could be felt.

Like something big is about to happen.

Lyudmila swallowed, feeling a little uneasy.

After a long time, Kal'tsit and Bozhukasi seemed to have reached a consensus.

Then, Kelsey said loudly: "Everyone."

Everyone present turned their eyes to her.

Even though Kal'tsit always speaks harshly and is unpopular among the members of the Reunion Movement, she is still the person Baiyou trusts the most, so the Reunion Movement is willing to give her face.

"We all come from the Integration Movement, but now, the Integration Movement no longer exists, at least, not in the original way."

"No matter what happened in the past, during these few days in Rhodes Island, I understand that your goals are consistent with Rhodes Island."

Kal'tsit whispered softly, not loudly, so everyone listened to her quietly.

"However, Rhodes Island cannot accept and carry all the flags of this land, and relying solely on apparent mercy cannot bring salvation to this land."

"A factory in Victoria hires an infected person for half the price of a normal person. The pioneering roads in Colombia are littered with countless infected corpses. The greedy Ursus inspection team is still searching and killing countless infected people on the border."

"These are political chaos, and are matters that Rhodes Island, as a pharmaceutical company, has no right to interfere with. These remains of the infected, as well as the mineralogy itself, are ways of harming the infected."

"It is something that Rhodes Island cannot change."

"We need a pair of hands." Kal'tsit slowly clenched her fists: "A pair of hands that no one knows are from Rhodes Island, but can smash those thorns like thunder."

"…The infected still need the existence of the Integration Movement."

Suddenly someone asked in the darkness: "Do you want us to become Rhodes Island's killers? Does Dr. Baiyue know about this?"

"First of all, I'm not asking you to become killers. Secondly, he doesn't know about this." Kal'tsit's eyes were serious and gloomy: "He just needs to be a hero. This is what everyone expects."

"You can form a new integration movement and continue to present yourself as a violent armed organization, but this time, your goal will be clearer. There will be no more Kosice's tricks. Your mission is to disrupt the originally stable situation with violent means and gain a legitimate reason for Rhodes Island to enter the battlefield."

"For example, to collect evidence of persecution of the infected, to stop the massacre of the infected, and to uncover the crimes committed by those companies and nobles against the infected."

"Then kill them, disrupt everything, leave chaos and scars behind, take all the blame, and be hated and spurned by everyone." Kal'tsit spoke without regard for other people's emotions: "The New Integration Movement will be the black glove of the infected."

"Asking us to do the dirty work, to kill those people that Rhodes Island cannot kill, to muddy the waters so that Rhodes Island can enter, is really a dirty trick."

Nine spoke out.

“This is our only solution. After absorbing the Reunion Movement, Rhodes Island is too large. Any political entity will regard us as a threat.” Kal’tsit lowered her head. “In the past few days, there have been nearly a hundred assassination attempts against the Rhodes Island ship. Although none of them were successful, it is still a signal.”

"We are being targeted by too many people. There are people in this land who don't want the lives of those infected to get better."

"The establishment of the new integration movement is completely voluntary. Except for a few leaders who have previously publicly stated that they will join Rhodes Island, everyone else can participate." Kal'tsit continued.

"You will be like shooting stars, scattering from Rhodes Island to every corner of this land, to see what kind of suffering our compatriots are going through, and after investigating everything, muddy the waters and wait for Rhodes Island to come."

"This kind of action of going deep into the heart of our enemy is very dangerous. If we want to get support, it cannot be provided directly by Rhodes Island. Multiple layers of disguise are required."

"This is not an easy task, but it has to be done. I respect your choice. Even if only one person joins in the end, I will support you." Kal'tsit said, and then he sighed. "Baiyou's wish is too idealistic. He just thinks that as long as he can cure the mineralogy, he can put an end to many sufferings. But in fact, it is not the case."

"But I want to try to protect his ideals in my own way and do something for him. I think everyone here should have the same idea."

"That's all I have to say."

She walked over to the table and placed a document on the conference table.

Then, he tucked the terminal under his arm, pushed the door open and walked out of the meeting room.

The conference room fell silent.

After a long while, someone whispered, "We just had hope of curing our mineralogy and no longer having to eat snow and tree bark, but now we have to continue wandering again?"

Lyudmila thought that person was saying something discouraging, and just when she was about to say something, that person slammed the table and sneered: "If we go to Victoria, I will definitely sign up. I want to go back for revenge. Red, I will go with you! Take me with you when you divide the team!"

Red Knife Reid tightened the red scarf that covered the lower half of his face and whispered, "The entire Avengers team has joined."

"You're showing off again, Avengers!" someone shouted, and replied with a smile: "Without our guards' support, you won't even have cover for the decapitation operation!"

"The light armor guards need a new job! Without us, our numbers will be reduced by half. What's the point of playing!"

The conversation between the Avengers and the leader of the light armored guards seemed to have opened up a conversation. Representatives from other different units also joined the discussion, happily talking about where they were going in the future and who they were going to kill.

Seeing this, Lyudmila didn't know what to say. She just stood there, looking at the group of people in confusion.

At this time, a Lupert girl wearing a white hood pulled the corner of Lyudmila's clothes.

Lyudmila turned around and found that it was the girl Luper who had asked her question under the signal tower. Her profession in the integration movement was that of a lurker.

"Boss, you will stay in Rhodes Island, right?" she asked nervously.

"Well... I, I probably can't leave, after all, I've shown up before... You guys won't leave either, right?" Lyudmila asked back.

"No, I discussed with everyone and decided that we should act together with the Mobile Shield Soldiers. After all, with them drawing fire, our results will be better." She smiled slightly: "Boss, take care of yourself in Rhodes Island."

Chapter 217: Shadow of Rhodes Island

"Why, why do you have to go too?" Lyudmila was puzzled.

"It's okay if you don't go! Isn't it voluntary..."

"But we can't do anything else except fighting." The Lupo girl scratched her head: "Boss, you can't let us stay on the island and do odd jobs forever, right?"

"That's perfect. Maybe there will be something about Syracuse in the future. We plan to go to Syracuse together and help the infected people there." She seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and said, "Dr. Kal'tsit is right. If the Reunion Movement follows Rhodes Island, it will eventually make Rhodes Island the target of public criticism. Moreover, Rhodes Island is too slow to take care of the entire Terra situation."

"If you want to save more compatriots, then a new integration movement is necessary."

She spoke softly about her own thoughts, and also expressed the thoughts of most people in the integration movement who had truly gained hope during this period of time.

"Rhodes Island just needs to bear our kindness openly. After these days of getting along, we are sure that Rhodes Island can be trusted. Isn't that true for you, Boss? Every day I see you busy and smiling in the medical department."

"I haven't seen you smile for a long time."

Lyudmila's nose felt sore. Among the team she led, there were many infected people who came out of Syracuse with her. They had traveled to many places together, including Kazdel, Leitania and Lateran, and finally stepped into the tundra of Ursus. It was no exaggeration to say that these people were Lyudmila's family.

"We will support Rhodes Island in secret and become... the fangs of Rhodes Island." The Lupo girl laughed, revealing her sharp canine teeth.

"The younger ones will be left in your care in Rhodes Island, old... Sister Lyudmila."

"Can you please give me your scarf?"

Lyudmila's hands trembled as she slowly untied her scarf. Although she felt so painful in her heart that it seemed as if her hands did not belong to her anymore, she did not hesitate.

Any hesitation at this moment would be a harm to ourselves and them.

She put the scarf around the Rupert girl's neck and helped her adjust it so that it covered the lower half of her face, making her look very similar to the old Lyudmila.
