"When you understand this, you can truly step into this completely different world. When you encounter a problem, think more and look at it dialectically. Don't just believe what others say."
"Besides, I'm still here."
When she heard this, Tallulah suddenly felt relieved. Yakumo was still here, and she felt like she had someone she could rely on.
That's why Yakumo said that Tallulah was really easy to deceive at this time. Children in their infancy really lack judgment. Now Yakumo has almost gained Tallulah's trust... right?
"...Maybe you can stay here with me for a few days, give up the favorable conditions given to you by Wei Yanwu, and see if you can hold on?" Yakumo suddenly had an idea.
"Is it really possible?" Tallulah was tempted. Although the conditions in Yakumo were not as harsh as those in Wei Yanwu's place, they were not that difficult. If she couldn't even adapt to the environment here...
Just like Yakumo said, it’s better not to think too much about unrealistic things and just stay in Longmen.
Chapter 59 Fortunately I didn’t give up
God has mercy on me, Yakumo really didn't intend to hire a child laborer! He kept Tallulah just to let her know more about the situation of ordinary people and the actual situation of the infected.
But now it seems that Tallulah is running around in the clinic, busy as hell. Correspondingly, she has talked to many infected people who come to the clinic, and soon these infected people have become familiar with Tallulah.
Tallulah discovered that there was no difference between the infected and ordinary people. The infected had the same worries as ordinary people. The infected were also afraid of the things that ordinary people were afraid of. In fact, the infected lived in greater fear than ordinary people.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for an infected person to infect ordinary people. Even when an infected person is about to die, his condition can be detected.
Even if there are no mineral disease inhibitors or treatments, the possible problems caused by the infected can be avoided to a great extent.
The discrimination against infected people seems to be ingrained in their bones and cannot be erased at all.
Many of the infected people she met in the Longmen underground street were even more humane and more like human beings than the ordinary people she usually met. Compared with these people, Tallulah felt that some people should not live in this world.
Wei Yanwu didn't seem to ask about Tallulah's affairs, as if he had tacitly agreed that Tallulah should stay with Yakumo. Tallulah herself felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.
During this time, Yuya successfully drew a "painted man" that looked exactly like Tallulah. It was so realistic that even the Rat King couldn't tell the difference. After testing it only once, Yakumo let the painted man hide.
In this way, time passed quietly and it was May. Recently, there were frequent transfers in Longmen, and the Rat King often arranged some gangsters to go out to do things. Every day, the underground street was busy until late at night, and Tallulah was often unable to sleep because of the noise.
"Mr. Yakumo, has anything happened recently?" Tallulah asked anxiously.
"The storm is coming." Yakumo had no doubt that this was Koschei's move. Longmen was a city in Da Yan, but Longmen was once secretly controlled by Koschei.
Later, Wei Yanwu came to Longmen, joined forces with the Rat King and Edward and others to take Longmen from Kosice. But this also cost Edward's death.
Although he was driven away before, Kosice still coveted Longmen. The energy and wealth that a city can bring would be attractive to anyone. This time, Kosice's first goal in his comeback was not Tallulah.
The Black Sock has been moving around frequently recently, and Yakumo has seen it passing through the underground streets several times. Every morning, you can see corpses lying on the streets, which should be the spies who have been found and infiltrated Longmen.
At night, Hei Shan was responsible for handling these aftermaths, and during the day, the Rat King arranged for the gang members to clean up the streets. Although the old friends had little communication, the tacit understanding between them would not weaken at all.
"Fortunately, the small tower is with that person. Otherwise, if this node ran around, I really can't be sure that I can guarantee her safety." Wei Yanwu pinched the corners of his eyes. He looked a little haggard after working hard for several days.
"Even though the small tower is safe at their place, you shouldn't just ignore it... No, I'll go there. You've been tired lately. You can't be careless in the fight with that guy. You can't be distracted at this time."
"Remember to bring guards with you. Your safety is equally important." Wei Yanwu's haggardness only appeared for a moment, and he immediately turned back into the powerful leader of Longmen.
"Don't worry, I'm not a weak woman who can't even lift a chicken." Wen Yue smiled, but she didn't refuse Wei Yanwu's request to bring guards. Although the underground street was controlled by the Rat King, it was still a bit chaotic.
"Wen Yue...Aunt." Tallulah originally wanted to call her aunt, but under Mrs. Wen Yue's pressured gaze, she changed her words and switched to a more intimate relative's name.
"Well, good boy~" Wen Yue touched Tallulah's little head: "It seems that you are living well here."
"This..." Tallulah could never have imagined that Wen Yue would come here to find her! After all, Wen Yue was the wife of the top leader of Longmen, how could she just run to the underground street!
"Welcome. This is a small place with limited space. Madam Wenyue, please find a seat." Yakumo said, and called Axing, "Axing, go and get a cup of tea. Use the best one in the cabinet."
"Mr. Yakumo, you're too polite." Wen Yue took the tea and took a sip. It seemed quite good?
"I didn't come here for anything else this time. I just wanted to come and see Xiaota. Wei Yanwu is a rough man and doesn't know how to take care of a child. He makes the decisions on major matters, but I have to help him with these household chores..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Before Wen Yue finished speaking, a violent explosion suddenly occurred near Yakumo's small clinic. No, it can't even be said that it was around, it was completely aimed at Yakumo's clinic!
"Finally I can't help it." Yakumo clearly felt that someone was approaching in the smoke of the explosion. The other party even detonated another bomb, making the guards around Wen Yue dare not act rashly.
Didn't Yakumo notice the bomb? Of course not. He even knew exactly when the bomb was placed. He just didn't move in order not to alert the enemy.
Are you kidding? Nian is here, how can such a product be hidden from her? In addition, this smoke is a cover for the newcomers, so why not also a cover for him?
Almost instantly, Yakumo swapped Tallulah with the painter and put Tallulah into Xi's painting. Almost the next moment, a hand grabbed the painter, and amid the painter's lifelike screams, the other party grabbed the painter and ran away.
"Little Tower!" Mrs. Wen Yue in the smoke naturally heard the exclamation of "Tallulah". She did not care about her own situation and directly ordered the guards to chase in the direction of the sound.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, there was indeed no trace of "Tallulah" at the spot.
"Isn't Longmen known to be quite safe?" Yakumo coughed twice and checked Axing's physical condition to make sure he was not injured.
"!" Wen Yue wanted to argue, but the fact had already happened before her eyes, and any argument would be pale and powerless.
With the excuse of being attacked, it was not so abrupt to leave afterwards. Yakumo put away the paintings on the wall, said a few words to Axing, and then sent Wenyue back.
Hearing the news that Tallulah was abducted,
Wei Yanwu almost bit off the mouthpiece of his pipe.
"Xiaota was captured?!" As Chen rushed in, Wei Yanwu felt his head hurt even more. Wen Yue was very rational and knew what to do now. But Chen was still a child and was too easily carried away!
Chapter 60: Tallulah Goes to the Island
Kosice was blocked outside Longmen. After all, Kosice was not good at fighting. Although he was an undead, he seemed to have not studied fighting for too long.
When he was stopped, Kosice still held Tallulah tightly, with no intention of letting go. Seeing Wei Yanwu catching up, he was not panicked at all, and even greeted him: "Compared to ten years ago, you look a lot older."
"It'll be easy to kill you." Wei Yanwu held down the restless Chen beside him. It was troublesome enough for Kosice to have one hostage in his hand, and he couldn't have any more hostages.
"Of course, I have seen the Chixiao sword technique. But, will you choose to draw your sword against me, or choose half of the dragon gate?" Kosice held a remote control in his other hand: "In the past few days, you have found a lot of gifts I left for you, right?"
"It's you..." Wei Yanwu's eyes were gloomy. Recently, a large number of bombs were found in Longmen. The bombs found alone were enough to destroy most of the streets in Longmen. If there are any more that have not been found...
"I have prepared enough explosives for you to destroy half of the Dragon Gate. Which do you think is faster, your sword or my speed in pressing the bomb switch? By the way, those bombs are all timed."
"!"
Time bomb?! When did the countdown start? Wei Yanwu's heart skipped a beat. If it was really a time bomb, when did the countdown start?
"Guess how long the countdown is?" Kosice laughed heartily: "You did beat me in terms of fighting, Wei Yanwu! But I will never let you win comfortably! As long as some goals are achieved, I haven't lost!"
"Make your choice, Wei Yanwu! Do you choose to leave me here, or do you choose to ensure Longmen's safety? You don't have much time left. I don't mind enjoying the magnificent fireworks here for a while!"
"...I will remember this day, Kosice!" In the end, Longmen's safety still occupied a heavier weight in Wei Yanwu's heart. He could not ignore the explosives that could destroy half of Longmen.
"Of course, we will remember each other." Kosice realized that the crisis was over and behaved politely again: "Well, I look forward to seeing you again in the future, Wei Yanwu."
Kochie said, grabbing "Tallulah" and slowly walking away. It was not until they were a long distance away that Kochie began to breathe heavily. How could there really be no pressure when facing Wei Yanwu!
Wei Yanwu's martial arts are very strong, very strong! Even without a sword, Wei Yanwu can easily suppress the Rat King with his Chixiao swordsmanship. Kosice looked calm just now, but in fact he was already covered in cold sweat.
But fortunately, he still managed to kidnap Tallulah! As long as Tallulah was in his hands, his operation would not be considered a complete failure, at least one of his goals had been achieved!
"What do you think, Xiaota? Do you think there is a future if you follow this kind of person?" Just when Kosice was enjoying himself alone, Yakumo's voice sounded beside him, with uncontrollable ridicule in his voice.
"He doesn't look like he has any skills, and he has a weird smile on his face, which makes him really annoying." This was Tallulah's voice. She had been released from the painting by Yakumo.
"?!" What's going on? Kochie looked at Tallulah beside Yakumo, and then looked at "Tallulah" beside himself. In an instant, the painting figure turned into a ball of ink and scattered on the ground.
"Sui Beast!" As an immortal, Kosice had a wide range of knowledge. When he saw this scene, he instantly understood what happened. But he just couldn't figure out why Sui Beast would help such a little kid, who wasn't even a pure Da Yan kid!
"Huh? You actually know about the Year Beast." Yakumo was quite surprised.
"Wei Yanwu doesn't care about Longmen anymore!" Kosice thought that Yakumo was arranged by Wei Yanwu.
"What does the safety of Longmen have to do with me?" Yakumo looked at Kosice as if he were a fool. "You don't know who I am until now, do you? We fought each other a long time ago."
"You are Rhodes Island!" Kosice's pupils shrank instantly. The only time he completely failed was at the hands of Rhodes Island. Even though he was kicked out of Longmen, he forced Edward to commit suicide.
"It's okay. I almost thought that Rhodes Island was just an insignificant existence in your eyes. You even sent shield guards here. I almost thought I was being too sentimental."
Yakumo took out his magic wand and said, "You've said too much. I know you're as slippery as a loach, so I can't let you escape. Souls are really interesting."
Kosice was about to say something, but suddenly he felt as if everything was floating. He gradually raised his eyes and found to his horror that he could not say a word.
A ball of black mist was snatched out of Koschei's body, and Koschei's body fell limply.
Always Kosice, Kosice, in fact, a more accurate name should be Black Snake. Kosice is the name of this body, and this body may be just one of the many bodies occupied by Kosice.
"It looks disgusting." Tallulah showed obvious disgust towards Kosche.
"To mess myself up in this perverted way forever
All the living people are disgusting." Yakumo stuffed the black snake's soul into a bottle and asked Tallulah: "Tallulah, do you want to go back to Longmen?"
"...I don't want to." Tallulah shook her head. Although she had just watched Black Snake threaten Wei Yanwu, Tallulah knew that Wei Yanwu was forced to give up "himself".
But the feeling of being abandoned was not good, and she didn't want to go back to Longmen now.
Moreover, with Black Snake taking the blame, she is now in a state of being abducted, and now she has plenty of time to do what she wanted to do before.
"I want to... go to Rhodes Island for a while, okay?" Tallulah looked at Yakumo inquiringly. She still had many questions that were unanswered, and she hoped to get them answered in Rhodes Island.
"Sure, I'll even find you a teacher later." Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Tallulah would choose to go out on her own.
If Tallulah was seventeen or eighteen years old, Yakumo would be very confident that Tallulah would go out and explore on her own. But now Tallulah is only ten years old, and letting her walk on the Terra continent alone is murder!
"In Rhodes Island, you will see a lot of things, and you may encounter more unexplainable problems. But don't worry, we still have a lot of time, and you will have enough opportunities to verify your ideas."
"Anyway, welcome to Rhodes Island, Tallulah."
Yakumo extended her hand to Talullah, and Talullah shook hands with Yakumo formally, like a little adult.
Chapter 61: Zero Yuan Purchase
When he returned to Rhodes Island, Yakumo was accompanied by not only Tallulah but also Axing. It was obvious that he had thought about it for a long time and finally decided to come to Rhodes Island and become an operator of Rhodes Island.
After going to the Human Resources Department to register, Ah Xing became one of the field operators of Rhodes Island going to Longmen. Although it was a bit hard, the salary was decent, and he could often go back to Longmen to visit his family. Ah Xing was very satisfied with this job.
Tallulah was not considered to have joined the company. When Yakumo introduced Tallulah to Theresa, Theresa seemed to have sensed something from the survival of civilization and became more gentle towards Tallulah.
"I plan to have Tallulah go to the frozen land of Ursus when she's a little older. By then, the last pure-blooded Wendigo will appear there, and it might be helpful for Tallulah to make contact."
The Wendigos chose to leave because they were unwilling to accept the new regulations of the Sarkaz. If Rhodes Island were to contact them, it is likely that the Patriots would not have too many ideas for in-depth exchanges.
We need to find a middleman for this matter. Once Wendigo agrees with the concept, the rejection of Rhodes Island should no longer exist.
"I will teach Tallulah for a while, and you can also help with cultural studies, Theresa. After that, I will find a more suitable teacher for Tallulah. Tallulah will have a broader world in the future."
"By the way, Kal'tsit is out again?" I didn't see Kal'tsit after I came back. Maybe she went out to "walk in the dust" again. Kal'tsit's journey is very long. From Ursus to Sami to Columbia, these are all the things Kal'tsit has to experience.
"Yes, Kal'tsit told me that we plan to find some new resources and energy. Rhodes Island has entered the final stage and will be able to really start soon. In the early stage, we plan to tour Rem Billiton."
"Well, after all, we have the earliest cooperative relationship with RIM Billiton, so it is reasonable for us to patrol here. But...are the mines here at RIM Billiton really willing to provide long-term inhibitors or treatments for the miners?"
"This is the case in every country. Alas, the war at that time showed us how backward the Sarkaz were. But the countries outside are not all advanced either. It really feels like the more you see, the more ignorant you become..."
"If you talk about this, I can argue with you for a long time, but this thing is not necessary for us." Yakumo smiled and waved his hand: "We just need to do our best first. How is the progress of the medical department now?"
"We have invited Mr. Blood to come out." Theresa said with a little pride on her face: "It turns out that Mr. Blood is also a beautiful girl. He is completely different from the respected old man that everyone thinks he is."
"She's still a loli with white hair and red eyes." The first thing that came to Yakumo's mind was Warfarin's emoticons, and the next moment, Warfarin's true appearance. There was no way Warfarin's emoticons were too deeply rooted in people's minds.
"By the way, what has Klucie been busy with recently? Now that the Rhodes Island ship is on track, the internal communication equipment should also be set up. We can't rely on shouting every time we notify someone, right?"
"Krosier?" Theresa burst out laughing. "Krosier recently opened a small shop on Rhodes Island, selling a lot of small things, and occasionally also selling materials."
"Could it be that she kept it for herself and secretly sold it?" Yakumo joked, "Come on, come on, it's a rare trip back home. I remember I told you before that Lucille would give me a 10% discount after she opened her store."
"Go now?" Theresa smiled. Yakumo came back without notifying anyone and came straight to Theresa. And with Yakumo's authority, no one had the ability to monitor Yakumo's schedule and records.
"Koluchil, we're here to serve you. I saw some good stuff on your shelves. Please don't put them away." Yakumo walked to Koluchil's counter, swaying his body left to right, and swinging his arms slightly up and down.
Originally, Klucie wanted to take over the counter
When he was about to sweep the things on the table into the bag and put them away, he saw Yakumo pointing his hands to his chest, showing the authority card hanging on his chest.
That was enough power to shut down Krusil's shop. Krusil had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender.
"Xiaota, go ahead and stuff everything you like into the sack. Although buying for free is a good deal, we are firm in our words and we will give you a 10% discount if we say so!"
"Then I should thank you?!" Kelucil rolled her eyes: "Your Highness, don't you take care of him!"
"I can't control Yakumo. He is the person with the highest authority in Rhodes Island. According to the rules, I am also his subordinate. How do you say that? Subordinates cannot talk back to their superiors?"
"Your Highness!" Koluchil was going crazy. How could Theresa become like this now? Where did her former dignified and noble Highness go?
"Since you're asking sincerely." Yakumo put on his glasses and pushed them up.
