About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

After a dull thud, the already small interrogation room became even more crowded.

Chen supported herself on the ground with both hands. Her posture at this moment could be described in one sentence: "I haven't seen Orsen for a year, and now I have caught up with the Snow Rabbit in issue O" / "Miss Shi Le who finally found an opportunity when Orsen was alone" and she took action the next second - throwing Orsen to the ground.

Not only that.

The iron table fell to the ground, and one of the kicks hit the back of Chen's shirt, completely tearing her shirt open due to the impact of the fall.

"Tear it!"

After the crisp and pleasant sound of cloth being torn, the white shirt under Chen's coat was broken into two pieces, and the whole piece was pushed to the neck by the table legs.

——A pure white style.

All that remained before Orson's eyes were a pair of small ovals and the 'last line of defense' used to conceal them. Even if he tried to escape, they were clearly visible in his field of vision.

“——!?!?”

An indescribable dragon roar was heard from the interrogation room.

----------

"Hey, see you again, new guy. I told you you'd love this place. Everyone here is talented and speaks well. Come, let me introduce you. This is Ajie, just call him Brother Jie. He was arrested because his eyes were so scary that they scared a lot of children to tears, affecting the cityscape."

Longmen Guard Bureau, Detention Center.

When An Suo saw a familiar figure, he waved and greeted him, and also introduced the confused fishmonger Lin Beijie next to him.

"What did you do to get arrested this time?"

"Attempted indecent assault on a senior police superintendent."

"..." "..."

Orson, whose half face was covered with red handprints, responded indifferently, and Ansuo and Jie Ge immediately moved aside when they heard this.

This kid is something...!

10. Huijie! Sister! Huijie!! Sister!! Huijie——! Sister——!

"Hey, why are you coming in again?"

"...I really feel that this has nothing to do with me. You have to make the decision for me, Ghost Sister!"

In the Guards Bureau detention center, Orson squatted alone in the corner.

An Suo, who was in the police station with him, had been released a long time ago, and the foreman even said kindly, "Come and play again next time."

As for the fishmonger, Brother Jie, he was taken out early on by a girl from the Filin tribe who was wearing a cheongsam in the style of the Yan country and had orange eyes.

We agreed to go to jail together, but you escaped after serving your sentence. Such a huge gap naturally made Orson extremely disappointed, so when he saw Xingxiong, he almost immediately rushed over to cry out for justice.

"Hahaha, I know. Old Chen specifically asked me to get you out. She's probably still hiding in the room and doesn't want to come out."

Xingxiong smiled heartily, then opened the door of the detention center and released Orson.

"What the hell is that rice noodle dragon doing? Seriously, are you okay, Orson?"

Shi Huaiya also came with Xingxiong. When the little tiger saw Orson squatting in the detention center, he asked about his situation with some concern.

"I can't say it's all right...but there's no need to worry, Officer Shi Huaiya."

Orson responded in this way, after all, the damage was mainly on the spiritual level.

I'm a dignified (omitted)! How could I be thrown into police custody twice by the Urban Management Captain (referring to Chen) of this tiny, shabby city of Longmen? If this gets out, I'll never be able to survive in Casimir or Che City again!

Oh yes, it seems that Qicheng is no longer able to survive because of the 'Ino Fanatic Knights (Fan) Club'.

"Just call me Shi Huaiya. If you're not a police officer, there's no need to address me that way."

Shi Huaiya nodded to Orson, then looked at Xingxiong next to her.

"What on earth is Chen doing? She even went crazy in the interrogation room today. Did something happen to her?"

"Hey, how would I know what Old Chen is thinking? Officer Shi Huaiya, you know that Old Chen never takes the initiative to talk to me about these things. The last time she had a fever and a severe cold, she went to the hospital alone on her day off to endure it."

Xingxiong shrugged. Although most people thought that this tall aristocratic woman always went in and out side by side with Officer Chen, and the two must have a very close relationship, in fact, Chen rarely showed his side other than work to others.

"I really can't stand it... Anyway, Orson, if you need any help from now on, just come to me. I don't know who you really are, but if you're looking for a job, the Shihuaiya Group can always find a position for outstanding people like you. Or you can also participate in the selection of the Guards Bureau and join my team?"

Shi Huaiya looked at Orson and said this. The little tiger had a good impression of this young man who saved his life and the lives of all the hostages and had a very humble personality and temperament.

"Thank you very much for your invitation, but I don't think I'd want to get close to the Guard Bureau for the time being..."

Orson was tempted but refused. On the one hand, he was already feeling a bit like he was in police custody just by looking at the Guards Bureau. On the other hand, the matter at Penguin Logistics was not yet settled, and he didn't want to be chased by a group of people for no reason.

"Don't get me wrong, except for that idiot, everyone in the Imperial Guard is easy to get along with. Anyway, I still have to report on the mission and buy out Lungmen's jewelry and precious metals business. See you next time, Orson."

Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Shi Huaiya waved to Orson and left the detention center.

"Sister Ghost, can something like the 'jewelry and precious metals industry' be bought 'by the way'?"

Orson looked at Shi Huaiya's back and asked Xingxiong beside him blankly.

"You'll gradually get used to getting along with rich women. Come on, Lao Chen asked me to take you to her office. She has something she wants to talk to you about alone."

Xingxiong responded with a shrug, and then prepared to take Orson to Chen's personal office in the Guard Bureau.

As for Orson, when he heard the words "let's talk alone", images of various heroes and great men instantly emerged in his mind.

For example, Oboi went to play chess, Liu Bang went to drink, and the head of the group went to the quiet street.

Just now, he exposed ten thousand black histories by proving himself, and now Chen wants to meet with him "alone". No matter how you look at it, this is like pouring cement into Tokyo Bay, right?

"Um, Ghost Sister, my stomach is a little bit—Ouch!?"

Orson, who originally wanted to pretend to be dead and run away, was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Xingxiong before he could even finish his words. He was taken to the door of Chen's office without any explanation, just like a cat.

Orson used Struggle! But it was useless.

1 meters is amazing! ?

Sorry, tall people just have long arms.

"Old Chen, I've brought the person to you."

"Thank you very much."

Xingxiong pushed open the door and threw Orson in, then closed the door and went away.

"..."

Orson silently looked into the eyes of Police Officer Long, who had sent him to the police station twice, and used his peripheral vision to observe the surroundings to find a suitable place to run away if the situation was not right.

Chen's office is very simple and elegant, but in other words, it can also be described as "suffocating." Chen sat at the desk in front of him, and the reflection from the window behind him made it even more difficult to see straight.

After a brief silence, Chen was the first to speak.

"I'm sorry Orson, I apologize for my previous behavior."

Chen stood up from the table and bowed his head to apologize to Orson.

"Eh? Um—nothing, nothing, Officer Chen. I should have said it earlier so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding."

Orson, who was about to escape, was stunned for a moment. What was waiting for him was not the expected Red Center's sword-drawing and cement-pouring combo, but Chen's very sincere apology.

"Anyway, you said you were an acquaintance of Tallulah's. Is that true?"

After admitting his previous recklessness, including his loss of composure after knocking Orson down in the interrogation room, Chen looked at Orson expectantly.

"Yes, we met in the northern part of Ursus. Your sister helped me a lot."

"So...how is she now?"

Although Chen tried to suppress her emotions, her voice still revealed anticipation and nervousness.

"She is in Casimir, working with her companions to provide shelter for the infected."

Orson chose a more emotionally intelligent answer. After all, he couldn't honestly tell Chen, "Your sister is now learning from Rhodes Island how to exploit operators, and occasionally complains to the silly black snake living in her body."

"Casimir, companion—?"

Hearing Orson's words, Chen rubbed his short blue hair. The words of the young man in front of him were mixed with too many things that he could not understand.

But Chen Huijie also knew that this "incomprehension" was normal. She had not received any news about Tallulah for more than ten years.

She only knew that her sister, the sister who always walked in front of her when she was a child, chose to leave Longmen with the Ursus nobleman "Kosice" on a rainy night.

Although she wanted to leave with Tallulah, she did not hold that tender hand tightly in the end, and this was also Chen Huijie's last memory of her "sister".

"A lot happened along the way, Officer Chen. We established a guerrilla group for the infected, survived the northern border, and then allowed the city of Che to temporarily accept these abandoned people. Later, we contacted Rhodes Island and together resolved the infected incident in Casimir. These things should not be recounted by me. I think you should hear the version from Tallulah herself."

Orson briefly summarized his experiences since meeting Tallulah, while Chen remained silent, frowning slightly. From just these few words, she could already sense just how tortuous and difficult Tallulah's journey had been.

"Hearing her own words...you mean she will reach Longmen?"

"Well, Tallulah said that once she's done with Casimir, she'll come to Longmen to find you in person. Tallulah really likes you, Officer Chen. Back in the North, Tallulah's drawer was filled with many letters that hadn't been delivered to the messenger, and those letters only had one recipient."

Orson recalled that he accidentally came across the letters that Tallulah wrote to Chen. Although Tallulah was embarrassed and shy at first and wanted to kill him to silence him, she later used this as an excuse to tell him about every detail of her past at Longmen and Chen.

Of course, these experiences include various dark histories that almost got him hacked to death.

"That stupid sister..."

Hearing Tallulah's actions, even Officer Chen, who always gave people an impeccable look, smiled for a moment.

Of course, Orson was also very tactful and did not tell anyone that since he joined the Reunion Movement, the frequency of Tallulah's letters had sharply decreased, and she had eventually stopped writing.

"By the way, did you hear the name 'Kosciuszko' from Tallulah, Orson?"

Chen thought of something, and she asked Orson if he knew any information about the black snake who took Tallulah away.

Kosice has always been a knot in Chen Huijie's heart. Although that man did not occupy many scenes in Chen's memory, Chen can still remember the tension and fear on the face of this "Longmen manager" when Wei Yanwu confronted Kosice.

Chen didn't know what Koschei had done to her sister after taking Tallulah away. She only knew that the immortal black snake would never give up.

He might have been lurking in an unknown corner, waiting for the moment when his sister felt the happiest, to appear and destroy everything, letting despair completely reshape the existence called 'Tallulah'.

As for Orson...

"'Kosice' - oh, Miss Black Snake, huh? I haven't heard that name for a while."

"what?"

Orson thought for a moment and then suddenly understood, saying a name that seemed to be familiar to him but a bit outrageous, "Miss", which made Chen Huijie have a question mark in her head.

"The last time I heard this name was, uh."

——The fact that she was picked up by Archangel was exposed, and Tallulah threatened to put her in women's clothes, tie her to the bed and tickle her, while letting Black Snake record the video.

"Oh right, it's in Casimir! Miss Black Snake runs a tutoring class for the local infected people, mainly teaching them about their lifestyles and capital operation models."

Orson picked a time slot that sounded less embarrassing.

"???"

But to Chen, this thing still sounded weird. The mysterious and chilling image of a white-haired man in his mind suddenly turned into a silver-haired girl wearing glasses, holding a pointer, and standing in front of the blackboard in an OL uniform.

If you think about it more specifically, the girl with silver hair becomes her sister Tallulah.

...My memories of the past must be too vague, so there is a deviation.

Chen rubbed his eyebrows and put the matter of 'Kosice' aside for now.

"Anyway, I was able to hear that she hadn't encountered any trouble and was truly working hard for everyone as before—that was enough. Thank you for sharing this information, letting me know that my sister is also struggling on this continent."

Chen showed a calm smile, and this moment made Orson feel a little emotional. It turned out that Officer Chen could also show such a smile.

However, after a fleeting smile, Chen said the next sentence.

"Therefore, I hope you can convey my message—"Longmen cannot welcome you yet, sister. Please don't worry about me."

"Officer Chen?"

Orson was shocked by Chen's words. He thought Chen would be very much looking forward to Tallulah's arrival, but in the end he was formally rejected.

"Please convey this to me. This is my decision, and it is necessary."

Chen sat back in his chair and spoke calmly but firmly.

"...I understand, if that is your wish."

Orson nodded, and Chen turned his chair and looked out the window behind him at the blue sky of Longmen.
