About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

When she heard that Orson was also going to the Guard Bureau today, Exia was so scared that she immediately went up to him and kept saying that it was not possible.

"Who would think of robbing the Longmen Guard Bureau for no reason... I was going to the Guard Bureau to look for someone."

Orson grumbled quietly in response.

"Looking for someone? Is it the Superintendent?"

"Yes, Officer Chen."

"Eh……"

After hearing the name "Chen", Exiah clearly let out a meaningful sigh.

"I didn't expect you actually knew Officer Chen, Orsen. That's surprising. Anyway, if that's the case, let me give you a ride."

The Archangel did not ask in detail about the relationship between Orson and the young senior police inspector of the Longmen Guard Bureau.

"Then please."

Orson nodded. He had noticed when he was strolling around before that although the city of Longmen was not as large as Qie City, it was not a border town either.

"That's all. I'm going to go see Orson off first. I'll see you later, Texas."

Exiah picked up the car keys on the table and greeted Texas, but it was obvious that Texas was still unhappy with Exiah's off-line behavior, and just shook his ears in response.

"Uh……"

"It's okay, it's okay. Texas has always been like this. I'll just buy her some limited edition Pocky when I come back~"

Orson, who was wondering whether he should say something to Texas, was directly dragged out of the door by Archangel.

"Come to think of it, Angel, do you know Officer Chen?"

After leaving the Penguin Logistics office, Orson followed Angel and got into the car with the Penguin Logistics logo printed on it, and curiously asked about the relationship between Angel and Chen.

"Rather than asking whether or not they know her, it's more accurate to say that everyone living in Longmen knows her to some extent."

After thinking for a moment, the Archangel replied.

"[The youngest senior superintendent of the Longmen Imperial Guard, rumored to be Wei Yanwu's chosen successor to the Longmen, an iron man who never tolerates any crime]—even the dojo kids have heard of these titles. While Officer Chen isn't completely unapproachable, how should I put it—she seems a bit hard to approach, right? I heard that many people, fearing they'd slow down her work efficiency, simply turn their heads and ignore her when they meet."

"Is Officer Chen such a person?"

Orson and Chen did not have much contact. To be more precise, it took less than 10 seconds from "Stop, kid" to "Take him away."

Orson originally thought that Chen would be an approachable, friendly and leadership-oriented person like Tallulah, but after listening to the description of the Archangel, the two people's personalities should be very different.

This is good. When the two meet later, the younger sister can correct Tallulah's increasingly silly behavior.

Originally, Orson had hoped that Black Snake could help Talulah maintain her status as the leader of the Reunion Movement, but now Black Snake and her daughter have become equally foolish.

"I can't handle such a serious workaholic anyway. We only meet occasionally for business reasons. Here I am. I just got into trouble a few days ago and was criticized and lectured by her, so I won't join in the fun. Don't get arrested again this time, Orson."

"So it was just an unexpected situation... Anyway, you really helped a lot, Exia."

Orson got out of the car and nodded to Exia.

"That's not much of a favor. Anyway, remember to come to Penguin Logistics for the interview. I'll contact the boss later, and he'll definitely agree to let you join~!"

Exia gave Orson a thumbs up, then stepped on the accelerator handsomely.

"That car with the Penguin Logistics logo over there! You were just suspected of illegally parking and speeding in the city. Pull over immediately!"

"Wow!? I'm leaving first, Orson!"

Hearing the sirens behind him, the Archangel took off immediately, followed by several police cars.

Orson first vaguely understood why Archangel and Chen were not getting along.

"Anyway, let's quickly deal with the main things today—"

After spending three seconds praying in his heart that Archangel would not be caught, Orson came to the Guard Bureau - this time he was finally not forced in while handcuffed.

"Hello, is Officer Chen here?"

After entering the Guard Bureau, Orson randomly found an Anati policeman with a middle-parted hair and asked about Chen's whereabouts.

"Officer Chen? Uh... Actually, I just reported here today, so I'm not very familiar with the situation. But I heard that Officer Chen is very powerful! Anyway, come with me to the office and wait for a while. Just call me Leon."

"Um……"

Orson followed the rookie policeman into the office, wondering whether he should run back to Che City overnight.

"Senior, there's a young man looking for Officer Chen... Hey, where are all the people?"

The newly reported police officer led Orson to the office but found it empty.

"Is today our team's day off? Anyway, I'm going to make a phone call first. Sorry, please wait a moment."

The rookie policeman took out his cell phone and dialed a number, then opened the office door and walked out.

As soon as the new policeman left, the office door was pushed open again, but this time a girl from the Film tribe with long wavy golden hair and a black coat entered the room.

"Where are the others? Seriously...that cheung fun dragon must have dragged the team out on another mission. Anyway, you can do it too. You're the rookie reporting in today, right? It's a good opportunity for me to see what you learned at the Kennedy Police Academy. Follow me!"

"Uh……?"

Orson, who was arranged to wait here for Officer Chen, was completely confused. He had no idea what this loud-voiced and somewhat irritable-looking little tiger officer in front of him was saying.

"There's been a serious armed robbery on North Third Street. Patrolmen have already suffered casualties, and our Guards are needed to handle it. I'll tell you the details on the way, but put on your coats and get moving immediately!"

"But……"

"No big deal! I know your direct superior is that rice noodle roll... ahem, Officer Chen Huijie, but you're temporarily under my control now—Beatrix Shi Huaiya. Do you plan to continue asking questions here until all the brothers on the scene are dead, or do you plan to come with me like a man right now?"

The little tiger who calls herself Shi Huaiya and looks more like a young lady than a police officer questions Orson.

"ok, I get it."

After all, human life is at stake, so I'd better not explain it for now, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

Orson sighed, and then was dragged away from the Guard Bureau by the little tiger by his arm.

08. Pacific Heist (6K chapters)

"The nature of this mission is extremely egregious, so I'm allowing you to prioritize killing the target while ensuring safety."

Inside the armored vehicle (does Terra have such a thing?), the little tiger Shi Huaiya was talking loudly to the two rows of fierce-looking muscular policemen sitting next to her.

"Don't let Longmen's past peace dull your combat skills. I repeat, this mission is very dangerous. Any slight mistake could result in casualties. Do you understand?"

"SIR, YES SIR!"

In response to Shi Huaiya's questions, the tough special police officers shouted slogans in unison.

"Does anyone else have any questions?"

"NO, SIR!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

Shi Huaiya nodded, and at the same time took out the 'Meteor Hammer' which was totally inconsistent with her aristocratic temperament, and checked the equipment and found no problem.

"Uh-huh..."

Orson was trapped in the middle of a group of muscular men and was inexplicably mistaken for a rookie police officer and dragged over. Although he wanted to raise his hand to ask questions, he was surrounded by a circle of muscular men, with men on top of men, and he couldn't even pull his hand away.

Besides, at this point, it is impossible for me to suddenly say to Shi Huaiya, "Hey, you got the wrong person~☆". If that happens, the outcome will definitely be that I will be turned into 'Orson.RAR' and thrown into the trash by these tough guys.

Although Orson realized from Shi Huaiya that the situation was more serious than expected, he was a little worried that he would be delayed because he was not a policeman.

But after all, I've seen all sorts of things in the North and in Che City. I should be able to handle a case of this magnitude purely on my own. For now, I'll just keep a low profile and see how the Lungmen Guard handles similar situations. If things get out of hand, I can help clean up the mess.

Orson made a decision, and at the same time everyone arrived at the scene.

"Crack!"

Shi Huaiya, who did not look like a 'noble lady' at all, opened the rear door and led the special police officers of the Royal Guard Bureau out of the vehicle.

Orson observed the surrounding environment. In front of him was a two-story jewelry store. The surrounding shops had been evacuated. Only the store where the criminal was hiding was left, and the police cars and patrolmen surrounding it on both sides.

Crossbows would occasionally shoot out from the cracks in the jewelry store's iron guardrails. The heavy arrows would strike the hulls of cars, even piercing them. Several police officers had already been pierced by arrows and lay on the side awaiting rescue.

"Officer Shi Huaiya!"

The patrolman hiding behind a police car not far away noticed Shi Huaiya's arrival and immediately ran over with his head down to protect his body.

"Report the situation on the scene."

"Alright! We've preliminarily concluded this was an armed robbery. Based on the testimony of eyewitnesses, it was originally just a common robbery. But for some reason, these thugs were equipped with powerful crossbows. Furthermore, they also had Originium bombs, which were definitely contraband and had already been cleared out!"

The patrolman quickly reported the situation at the scene, and when Shi Huaiya heard the word "Originium bomb", her eyebrows immediately frowned.

"Originium bomb... Tsk, where did these guys come from? Anyway, what about the casualties and hostage situation?"

"The criminals held approximately 15 hostages. Three victims are known, including a jewelry store clerk. Two hostages were killed, and one suffered severe bleeding and urgently needs medical treatment. Four of our officers were injured. Ordinary protective suits are no match for the powerful crossbows they used!"

"Your equipment can't threaten this group of people. Have your men evacuate from the front and protect the wounded brothers. I will deal with these bastards."

Shi Huaiya ordered the patrolmen to evacuate temporarily, and arranged for the special police from the Guard Bureau to replace the patrolmen.

"Be careful, Sir Shi. Those prisoners are very excited and may detonate the Originium bomb at any time."

"I understand—you heard it too. The suspect has taken several hostages and used Originium bombs as a deterrent. We can't attack head-on."

Little Tiger gathered the special police around and started the combat plan this time.

"You will lead the team to attempt to reach the rooftop at the rear of the building. From there, you will reach the rear of the jewelry store and wait. You and two team members will remain at the front, ready to breach the door at any time. As the newcomer, you will temporarily be responsible for operating the drone to monitor the environment and participate in the assault if necessary."

"Uh, um, okay."

Orson nodded, praying that this "drone" would come with an instruction manual, and that the prefix would be "even a monkey can understand it--".

No one is perfect. Even Orson, who is said by most people to know "everything", actually has many projects that he is completely unfamiliar with, and drone control is one of them.

The last time Orson controlled a "drone" was at the Casimir Knights Arena. He bought a bunch of supply packs for Rosemary, who was playing in her first game, and angrily owed his aunt more than 40 yuan.

Shi Huaiya, who arrived at the scene, quickly made his own judgment and began to assign tasks.

Looking at the capable and dashing figure of the little tiger in front of him, whom he called the 'mascot' in his memory, Orson had to sigh once again that his memory of 'Arknights' was indeed only for fun.

Tallulah, who is seen as a terrifying figure symbolizing death and fire, turns out to be very easy to get along with and a bit of a goofball.

The impression was that the patriot was suffocating and a symbol of death and war, but the result was... well, it was really scary.

I had the impression that the Frost Star was a place where strangers were not allowed to enter and symbolized coldness and loneliness, but the result was... Oh, I won't say more, my back hurts.

Kal'tsit, who was confusing, a symbol of riddles and silent speech, turned out to be quite easy to talk to, except that she liked to tease people.

The rich little tiger who was thought to be a mascot was now conducting his command work in an extremely efficient and orderly manner.

"Is the division of labor for each team clear? Also, according to intelligence, there's a seriously injured hostage in the jewelry store. I'll attempt to negotiate a hostage exchange with the robbers. Afterwards, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll act together to maximize our chances of success. Is that okay?"

"YES SIR!"

"That's good—Hey, what are you doing, newbie?!"

After assigning the tasks, Shi Huaiya saw Orson studying the drone switch next to her.

"Uh, that, yessir!"

Orson responded by putting the drone aside in a panic.

"Brace yourself, rookie! This place is completely different from what you learned in the police academy. If you want to survive, you have to use your brain. Alright, I'll go negotiate with the criminals, and you guys have the paramedics prepare the casualties."

While scolding Orson, Shi Huaiya attached a miniature microphone to the inside of her collar to be used for communicating with the special police later.

"Listen up, everyone inside! I'm Senior Superintendent Shi Huaiya of the Longmen Guards. As you can see, I'm unarmed. I'm requesting a hostage exchange, using myself and the severely injured and bleeding hostage inside. This won't do you any harm. Don't add to the unnecessary casualties!"

——You have such a loud voice…!

Not far away, Orson, who was pretending to control a drone but was actually just looking at the sky, was startled by Shi Huaiya's voice.

Of course, human lives were at stake, so Orson wasn't slacking off. Although he couldn't control a drone, he could use his Originium skill, 'Tuning,' to survey buildings. If color weren't factored in, the accuracy was even higher than a drone's.

"Hostage exchange? Fine, Officer Shi! But one life is worth two lives!"

The sound of gangsters was heard in the jewelry store, and a man wearing a mask and a bomb vest was half exposed from behind the explosion-proof door.

"One life for two lives...?"

Shi Huaiya frowned after seeing the bandit's equipment. The man was covered with explosive devices, and the outermost layer was filled with high-purity Originium vessels. If he were to self-destruct, people in half the block would be at risk of being infected with Originium.
