About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Orson looked at the sign and swallowed.

"What are you talking about? Anyway, come in with me."

Chen tilted her head, not knowing why Orson was watching the life ticker over there. She handed over her Guard Bureau ID and took Orson into the shooting range.

When Chen brought two guns and placed them in front of the table, Orson was finally convinced that the other party was not intending to shoot him, but was literally "experiencing shooting with the Rutland gun."

"I come here occasionally for fun because I enjoy the process of aiming at the target and pulling the trigger."

While talking to Orson, Chen skillfully pushed the bullet into the magazine, then loaded the gun, removed the safety, raised the pistol and aimed at the target paper. The whole action was continuous and decisive without any hesitation.

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!

After seven consecutive sounds, Chen blew on the muzzle of the Rutland rifle and then put it into the holster at his waist.

"Miss the target, miss the target, miss the target, miss the target, 2 rings, miss the target, 1 ring - your total score is: 'I suggest you find a factory'"

"..." "..."

The electronic voice announced Chen's results without any emotion, and for a moment the two looked at each other in silence.

"Um...Officer Chen, I was just meditating and listening to music, so I didn't hear anything!"

Orson, who had a strong desire to survive, tried to fool him, but Chen shook his head.

"There's nothing to hide. Although I enjoy shooting with the Rutland rifle, my skills in this area have always been terrible."

Chen admitted her flaws in shooting and reloaded for another round, but the result was no different from before.

"Although the posture appears correct at first glance, there is actually something wrong with the way you hold it, Officer Chen."

When Chen Qi raised the Rutland rifle again, Orson, realizing that Chen's design was wrong, took the initiative to move forward and gently held Chen's hand holding the pistol.

"——!?"

When Chen's tail was touched by Orson, it immediately straightened up, and his whole body seemed to be shocked by electricity.

"Allow your sight to be level with the rear sight, and observe with one eye. Don't manipulate the Originium Technique too violently or abruptly."

Chen originally wanted to use a beautiful shoulder throw to knock Orson to the ground, but the opponent did not do anything else after touching him. Instead, he talked to him seriously about shooting posture.

"Keep your grip arm straight and your other arm supporting the base to stabilize the launcher, like this."

This time, Orson was almost sticking to Chen's side. He slowly guided Chen to a more correct and stable posture.

"Very good, Officer Chen. Next is the shooting procedure. Don't just pull the trigger and force the Originium bullet to fire. Imagine the trigger as a remote control that can detonate the gunpowder at the bottom of the bullet. The gunpowder has a very small equivalent."

"……I see."

This young man has no thoughts about him, so he should just take it easy and show his learning ability as a senior superintendent.

"Let me see how my aim is—"

The preparation process was almost complete, and Orson moved close to Chen's cheek to observe whether he had really aimed at the target.

"Bang!!"

The moment Orson got close to Chen, the pistol exploded.

"...I think you still don't need to teach so detailed."

Chen turned his head, put the gun aside and said helplessly.

Chen vaguely noticed that Orson might be a one-track mind. When he focused on "teaching shooting", his clever little brain might forget to deal with the issue of "keeping an appropriate social distance from ladies".

"It's okay, Officer Chen. Look, the bullet that exploded hit the seventh ring."

Orson was completely unaware that he was the cause of the explosion, and instead happily pointed at the target paper in the distance.

"I didn't expect it to actually work—Speaking of which, Orson, you're not from Lateran, right? Why are you such a good shooter?"

Chen was surprised by the number of rings she had just hit. She no longer pursued Orson's unintentional action, but asked the young man why he could master such professional shooting skills.

"I once studied with a handsome Sarkaz guy (referring to Scout) for a while. Through his experience, I also learned some key points about using the Lateran rifle—for example, 'skins don't give you any accuracy bonuses,' 'gloves only affect your shooting feel,' 'don't constantly switch between tactical knives and rifles during combat, it'll only cause cramps,' and so on."

"...none of them sound like they have anything to do with shooting?"

Chen asked quietly.

--------

With Orson's guidance, Chen's hit rate has improved significantly, but Orson also noticed that the senior superintendent's control over the Originium skills is indeed not excellent.

Fortunately for Chen, in most cases he can solve the problem by just using the long knife in his hand.

After emptying the last magazine, Chen put the pistol he had lent to Orson into the safe and leaned it against the shooting table.

"Yesterday, Tallulah and I talked a lot about the Reunion Movement, Casimir, and Rhodes Island. Thank you, Orson."

"Ok?"

Orson, who was helping to tidy up the shooting range due to his occupational disease, tilted his head.

"Tallulah has mentioned your name many times. I know very well that it is because of your dedication that my sister has come this far."

"No, I'm the one that Tallulah saved."

"Then the bond between you two is truly deep—I've said before that I didn't want Tallulah to come to Longmen. Even though you've only been here for two days, you should have noticed that Longmen is facing many pressing issues. I don't want Tallulah to be dragged into any of this. But her identity and personality will definitely put her at the center of any conflict."

Chen sighed. Orson rarely saw the senior superintendent sigh.

"And the biggest problem is that my companion in this situation is such an unreliable rich woman mascot."

Chen rubbed his eyebrows and complained about Shi Huaiya.

"Officer Shi is also very dedicated, and she really likes Longmen."

"That's not the point... You said before that the Imperial Guard would be the target, right? I've actually vaguely sensed something amiss, but I don't have a way to confirm and eliminate this hidden danger."

"..."

Orson didn't know what to say. It was rather difficult for Chen to complain to him about this matter, probably because of the relationship between him and Tallulah.

"Never mind. Those are things I should be thinking about and dealing with. Anyway, thank you for coming out with me today, and thank you, Orson, for that phone. Being able to speak with Tallulah again, and knowing that she's changing this continent with like-minded friends, is enough for me."

Chen looked at Orson, wondering how many times he had expressed his gratitude to Orson in such a formal way.

"The tragedy of the past has not spread. What I need to do now is to extinguish the flames that may be hidden in the dragon gate. But I still have to say... well, you don't need to do what that idiot Tallulah said and attack... attack me."

Chen glanced away. It was more difficult than he had imagined to say such a thing seriously.

"Ahem, you don't need to follow her instructions. Longmen is a city with countless possibilities. Enjoy it at your own pace. Don't worry about me, understand? You just need to take good care of Tallulah. And let me repeat myself solemnly - I was not seduced by some messed-up scumbag. Those are all fabricated by the media."

Chen tried hard to keep his expression tense and serious.

How can it be considered a punishment to solemnly tell a young man who has a deep relationship with his sister, "I'm not single, it's just that no one wants me" (something similar)?

"I understand, Officer Chen."

Orson nodded in understanding.

"But I hope you won't be too tense. Your current state is a bit like when Tallulah was in the North, and I'm a little worried. If you need anything, even if it's just to relax like today, I will definitely respond and help."

"Don't worry, my timing is perfect."

Chen said this, then she picked up her phone and left the shooting range as if she had a meeting to attend.

——Maybe she really needs someone who can take care of her, otherwise such a tight lifestyle might cause trouble.

Orson looked at Chen's back with some worry.

In fact, Chen Ye really had an accident.

——The next morning, Penguin Logistics Office——

"That's too fast, Orson! I thought you were a cute, innocent boy, but you turned out to be so fierce!?"

Angel of Power asked Orson with a shocked look on her face while holding a newspaper in her hand. On the newspaper in her hand was a picture of Orson holding Chen's arm and the two of them pressed together at the shooting range to guide shooting.

[Shocking! A senior police superintendent from Longmen has found a new love, and this time the other party is an underage boy?!]

"..."

It seems that whether it is Casimir or Longmen, it is right to kill the local newspaper first.

(Group: 488749799)

16. Do something fun with Exia!

It was more than two hours later when I came out of the room.

"Ugh……"

Orson had a look of despair on his face, and it seemed that the previous explanation over the phone was not very smooth.

The conversation with Officer Chen was not a big problem. She could tell that this was not the first time she had been in the news for some inexplicable thing, so she just said that it had nothing to do with Orson, and she would not vent her anger on him, so he should not care about it.

Of course, Chen also said some dangerous remarks such as "Once I get the search warrant approved, I will stuff the owners of those newspapers into a sausage machine", and Orson just took it as the other party's angry words.

However, the most serious problem lies with Tallulah. Because Tallulah is very concerned about the situation in Orson, she gets news reports from Lungmen every day.

Unfortunately, Talulah was almost the first to see the newspaper that day. Although Orson's appearance in the newspaper was not as clear as in 2K resolution, it was the type that an acquaintance could recognize his true appearance at a glance.

Tallulah saw through Orson's identity on the spot, and after seeing the "intimate" scene between Chen and Orson, the leader of the Integration Movement finally realized what a big mistake he had made amid Black Snake's ridicule.

After beating up Black Snake, Tallulah called Orson without saying a word. Although Orson tried to explain that he and Chen were just there to practice, Tallulah was far away in Casimir and could not confirm with her naked eyes what was going on between the two of them, so she could only worry, and her anxiety made her confused.

As for the final result of the conversation, Talulah's original harsh words "Tie Orson to the bed and tickle him" were upgraded to "lock Orson in a small dark room for half a month."

Although Orson wanted to complain, "Didn't you ask me to come here?", it was obvious that the dragonfly's brain had completely crashed for the time being. Orson could only let Talulah calm down and cool down, and at the same time warned Black Snake not to add fuel to the fire, otherwise he would go to the consciousness field and feed her mustard.

Originally, he had hoped that everyone would come to Longmen and enjoy one of the few peaceful, high-tech cities on the Terra continent. But after all this trouble, Orson now only hoped that he could leave his body intact...

"Are you communicating with your friends?"

After seeing Orson coming out of the lounge, Angel asked curiously.

"Waiting to die..."

"Eh!? Orson, you seem to have suddenly said something really scary!"

Exia was startled by Orson who was squatting in the corner planting mushrooms.

"I clearly asked to be allowed to come over, but now it's turned out like this... I'm the victim, okay..."

Orson whispered about how outrageous Tallulah's actions were. If Black Snake hadn't been in the "fun" mindset, but was in the "finding a partner for his daughter" mindset, Tallulah's actions would have probably driven him to the limit.

"I don't know what the situation is over there, but it seems like you came from another city-state, Orson?"

Exia and Texas were fine; they believed Orson after a few words of explanation. Most importantly, they didn't think Officer Chen would ever find a boyfriend.

"Well, I'm from Ursus. I came to Longmen to look for Officer Chen for a friend."

"Hey, Ursus people—do you drink Baima alcohol like water, and kill a cow with one punch each?"

Hearing that Orson was from Ursus, Angel of Death's interest was piqued, and she came up to Orson and asked curiously.

"Although I really want to complain about this stereotype of you, Angel, but when I think about it carefully, it seems to be true..."

Orson recalled his time in the North and Che City. Whenever people around him celebrated something, they'd all drink from a clear bottle. At first, Orson thought everyone was just drinking water after a few days of playing, but after taking a sip and passing out for six hours, he realized it was actually vodka.

As for killing a cow with one punch, we would like to invite the current mayor of Che City, Ms. Natalia Rostova (Zaolu), to give an example.

Have you heard the story of "White Bear Walk"?

According to legend, in the year 1551 of the Terra calendar, a white bear named JK who could mold coal into diamonds with his bare hands passed by his own garden. He casually picked up a steam siege spear weighing hundreds of pounds and used it to kill all the invading enemies single-handedly!

So have you heard the story of "Winter Road"?

According to legend, in the year 1919 of the Terran calendar, a general named Winter picked up a pair of scissors. She transformed herself into JK, and finally... Never mind, I've tasted enough.

Anyway, ever since Orson was almost pushed down by Black Snake last time, he has despairingly discovered that he is the weakest loser among everyone.

"That sounds quite interesting. I'd love to travel around a bit, too~~ And who knows, I might even run into 'her' in some city-state."

After listening to Orson's stories about Ursus, the Archangel lay back on the sofa in the reception area, staring at the ceiling and sighing softly.

"Why did the Angel of Exiah come to Longmen?"

"Well, I can't really explain the specific reason. Should I say it was just a sudden realization? It makes perfect sense? Anyway, when I left Rutland, I really didn't think about becoming a logistics employee here. I just let things take their course, hehe."

Exia scratched her short hair and responded with a harmless, foolish smile.
