About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

“Ouch!! Damn it, what’s going on!?”

Before Chen could finish his words, the light bulb above the Chief Superintendent's head suddenly exploded, and the fragments flew right towards the Chief Superintendent under the bulb.

The sudden change interrupted the argument between Chen and the man. Although the latter immediately raised his hand to block it, he was still scratched on the arm and forehead by the fragments.

"The light bulb exploded? Chief Inspector Marco, do you need me to take you to the infirmary?"

"No need. Submit a report to me later, Superintendent Chen Huijie!"

The Chief Superintendent angrily pulled out the fragment and threw it aside, then pushed open the door and prepared to leave Chen's office.

Boom!

"Well!"

The moment the Chief Superintendent pushed open the door, Orson outside looked as if he was almost knocked down.

"Keep an eye on it as you walk!"

"Hug, sorry..."

The Chief Superintendent yelled at Orson fiercely, and the latter quickly bowed his head, apologized, and got out of the way.

"—Orson?"

After the Chief Superintendent left, Chen, who was still in the office, noticed Orson.

"Officer Chen, are you okay?"

After confirming that the middle-aged man had left, Orson stopped bowing his head and apologizing.

"Were you the one causing trouble just now? Although I don't recommend you take such action in the Imperial Guard Bureau, and technically it would be considered assaulting a police officer, but...thank you very much."

Chen leaned against the door and sighed, then smiled at Orson.

"It's just a Originium technique that's never used in normal situations. Compared to that, today's surveillance has concluded, and just like before, no suspects have been found."

Just now, Orson used the most basic skill of tuning to change the temperature of the light bulb to make it explode. Although it sounds powerful, in fact, when applying tuning to a remote object, not only can you not move, but the object must also remain still. Therefore, it is basically useless except as a troublesome microwave oven.

"Hmm... I see. It seems the other party is hiding very well. It's okay. I didn't expect to find clues so quickly. Thank you for your hard work, Orson."

Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded to Orson.

"Officer Chen, that person just now..."

"He's my superior, the Chief Inspector of the Imperial Guard. You can understand that his rank is lower than Wei Yanwu's, but he's my direct superior."

Chen glanced at the Guard Bureau ID card on his chest. The price and sacrifice required to obtain the position of "Senior Superintendent" was much more than Chen had initially imagined.

One of them is to deal with an idiot boss.

"You two seemed to be arguing earlier. Is it related to the slum riot?"

"That's about right. The order I received was to suppress the situation with force, but it was obvious that there were many more innocent people involved at the scene, so I chose to have the police officers protect and control the situation as much as possible, and this action disobeyed the order of the Chief Superintendent. He may be right. I shouldn't use the safety of my subordinates to protect the infected people in the slums, but - just treat me as a naive guy. I want to protect the entire Longmen, and that includes the slums, even those infected people."

Chen rubbed her eyebrows and whispered her thoughts to Orson, even though she believed that Orson would find her unrealistic idea ridiculous.

However, Orson just shook Chen's hand.

"Ugh! Oh, Orson, what are you doing...?"

"You will definitely become a qualified police superintendent, Officer Chen! And your sister and I will definitely do our best to assist you in achieving this goal."

"Uh, thank you? Anyway, let's not do this here for now..."

Chen withdrew his hand in panic. He could hold Orson for a whole day without any pressure, but he would feel a little panicked when the other party took the initiative to shake his hand.

However, Chen Huijie was still very happy that his ideas were supported by Orson and Tallulah.

"Staying here too long will arouse suspicion, Orson. We'll talk later. By the way, here's this—the knight's sword you brought with you is still in the evidence department. Use this receipt to claim it."

Chen handed a receipt to Orson, then turned around to pick up the broken glass.

Orson glanced at Chen Huijie's office. It was simple, neat and spotless. The knives he was equipped with during missions were placed on the wall as decorations. If there was anything that looked "messy", it was the pile of documents on the desk and the waste paper balls that were already overflowing from the trash can.

"Well, take care of yourself, Officer Chen. I don't want you to be similar to Tallulah in pushing yourselves. Give yourself some time to relax."

"Once this is temporarily over, I will consider applying for a vacation to Xiosta. Thank you for your connection, Orson."

Chen smiled at Orson, then returned to his work at the Guards. He looked just like Tallulah, who led the resistance army during the Northern period.

Of course, we won’t talk about what Tallulah gradually became under Orson’s influence.

"Officer Chen, if you're too busy, remember to call me. Although I can't help you with business matters, I can still provide some help with your daily life."

"Then come to my house tomorrow—cough cough cough, no, nothing!"

Boom!

Chen almost said something unpleasant, but she reacted quickly and pushed Orson out of the office and closed the door before her face turned red.

"...Am I being too nosy?"

Orson outside the door rubbed his hair with a puzzled look on his face.

After leaving the Guard Bureau again as "Deliveryman Otto", Orson came to an empty bathroom nearby, took off his Fengchi Logistics clothes, took off his sunglasses and rabbit ears, and became 5cm shorter on the spot, and by the way, restored his identity as "Penguin Logistics' new employee Orson".

Because Orson is a "Chimera", he has the ability of a "cognitive filter" that allows different people to see him as a different race. Therefore, when he wears a prosthetic ear of a specific race (a prop borrowed from Kong), he can almost block the recognition of everyone except those who originally recognized Orson as that race.

The "Maid Miss" model is just the opposite. Everyone will replace Orson with the race they like more, so they will naturally have a good impression of Orson.

"Next, it's time to go get the Scarlet Queen."

Orson stuffed the disguise props into his bag and threw it into the trunk of his car, then returned to the Guard Bureau again.

On the way, Orson was thinking about the man named "Chief Inspector Marco" and vaguely felt that he seemed to have found the "neglected part" that had been ignored for a long time, but his thoughts were temporarily interrupted because he arrived at the evidence department.

"Hello, I'm here to collect the previously seized evidence. Here's Officer Chen's receipt—is anyone there?"

When Orson arrived at the evidence department, he peeked through the glass window, only to find that the evidence department was empty.

Orson was about to ask other police officers if he had taken the wrong road when a short Liberi girl with long white-gray hair came jogging over from the other side of the glass.

Although she had her Guards ID card on her, she was not wearing a blue uniform. Instead, she was wearing a patched-up outfit that looked a bit like a combination of a white coat and work clothes.

"Please, please wait a moment...! I was studying the mechanical structure of an exhibit, so I wasn't on duty at the window. Please don't complain to me, I'm just—Puff!"

The little girl from Liberi ran over while explaining to Orson in a panic, but halfway through, her left and right feet suddenly disagreed, and she tripped herself and fell to the ground, kissing the floor hard.

The girl from Liberi fell to the ground through the glass and didn't move.

"Um, are you okay?"

"..."

The girl didn't respond.

"Are you still conscious? Can you hear me?"

"..."

The girl still did not respond. Not only that, Orson also saw some red liquid slowly spreading on the girl's fallen abdomen.

"—Hold on, I'm coming right over!"

Click! !

Realizing that something was wrong, Orson immediately summoned a pause, which turned into a spike and directly pierced through the explosion-proof glass of the evidence department.

"Are you okay? I need to check your condition now..."

"Gululululu~~~"

Orson ran to the girl and carefully turned her over and held her in his arms, but he heard an unusually loud sound coming from the belly of the Liberi girl.

"So hungry."

The girl opened her pale red eyes, looked at Orson, and told him her illness with difficulty.

"..."

Orson rubbed his hair, looked at the explosion-proof glass behind him that he had shattered, and looked at the alarm bells that kept flashing above his head.

He looked at the fully armed security guard from the Royal Guards running towards him at the corner, and finally looked at the chick in his arms with its stomach rumbling, and the deflated carton of tomato juice in the other's abdomen.

Orson was still Orson after all. In just that instant, he already knew what to do next—

That is to lie on the ground with your hands raised high and stay motionless, and then wait to go in and brag to An Suo about what you have done during this period of time.

35. Lapland's 'Withdrawal'

"I'm so sorry to cause you any trouble... Please don't complain to me, or your bonus will be deducted..."

In the rest area next to the evidence department, the chicken that had fallen down because of hunger was sipping a box of milk tea (bought by Orson) while repeatedly bowing his head and apologizing like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I won't complain. As long as you're not hurt, and the misunderstanding is resolved, I'm Orson. What's your name?"

Orson, who was sitting next to the chicken, waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be afraid, as no one was hurt in the end.

Fortunately, among the special police who rushed over after the alarm sounded was Ghost Sister. Because she was familiar with Orson, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.

Orson couldn't help but sigh that it was convenient to have connections. He didn't know when he would be able to experience the scene where "the soldier king returned to the north and found his house burned down. He gave an order to summon 100,000 Russian bears from Ursus. The Russian bears kicked the soldier king one by one to show that he was the one causing so much trouble."

The only incident was that after Xiaoji woke up, he saw the broken explosion-proof glass and almost fainted again. He barely managed to avoid fainting after Xingxiong patted his chest and assured him that "you don't need to file a claim."

"I'm Xuezhi...an employee of the Mechanical Manufacturing Department of the Imperial Guard Bureau. I was asked to work as a temporary security guard in the Evidence Department. Um...thank you very much for the milk tea. I'll pay you back later...is six installments okay?"

"Uh, just think of it as my treat. By the way, Xuezhi, what were you busy with before?"

Orsen took a look at the patches of different colors on Snow Pheasant's clothes, as well as the other party's trembling voice because he had to "spend a huge amount of money to pay for the milk tea", and finally persuaded the other party to treat himself and not to mind it.

"How can this be possible... You are so generous!"

"Ahahaha... not really."

Orson rubbed his hair. He never thought that there would be a day when he would be regarded as a rich man, and the reason was actually "treating him with a box of milk tea."

As for Orson's "property," he practically never researched it. Theoretically, Orson received monthly salaries as Vice President of Reunion Security, a Special Contract Elite Operator at Rhodes Island Medical, a Security Captain for the Chernobog Rostov Family, and a Lifetime Honorary Knight of Casimir.

Normally, this would add up to a substantial sum, but Orson never claimed it, instead handing it over to the appropriate person in charge. (Amiya represented Rhodes Island, and Alina represented the Reunion Movement, for reasons that are readily apparent.) Therefore, Orson didn't look like a wealthy man.

"Actually, I've been studying a weapon in the forensics department... It's a knight's longsword with an internal combustion kinetic energy converter engine. It's really interesting!"

When the snow pheasant mentioned what he was busy with, he, who had been keeping his head down and looking timid, even raised his voice unconsciously a little higher than before.

——It sounds like she's talking about 'Red Queen'

From Snow Pheasant's description, Orson immediately thought of the exclusive knight sword that Maria (Xia Guang) made for him.

"Although the structure may seem a bit crude and unruly at first glance, every trigger point has been carefully reinforced. It's a weapon designed with "durability even in harsh environments" as the absolute goal. However, no matter how much I study it, I can't figure out the power source of that sword..."

Xuezhi told Orson a lot of topics about the Red Queen's manufacturing structure in one breath, but Orson, who knew almost nothing about mechanical manufacturing, could only smile.

"The power source should be the sword wielder's own use of Originium techniques to heat up the knight's sword, right?"

"I see! Mr. Orson is truly impressive! I hadn't considered the user-provided power source before. Did you also major in mechanical design?"

The snow pheasant, who had the mystery revealed to him by Orson, was suddenly enlightened and looked at Orson with admiration.

"No, I am the wielder of that sword."

“I see, huh huh huh!?”

Snow Pheasant nodded and took the receipt from Orson's hand. It took a few seconds for him to react and he was so scared that his feathers fell off.

Seeing Snow Pheasant's big reaction, and thinking about her previous personality as a "mechanical fanatic", and how well she knew about the structure of the Red Queen... Orson had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Well, that... wuwuwu, I'll go get it for you right now, bring it back..."

Xuezhi stuttered as he took the receipt and walked tremblingly into the evidence storage room next door. He looked as if he had faded.

Seeing Snow Pheasant's reaction, Orson was mentally prepared that Snow Pheasant would come back with a paper box and tell him that the pile of fragments was the Scarlet Queen. But a few minutes later, he only saw Snow Pheasant holding the Scarlet Queen, who was intact and even looked brighter than before, with both hands, and staggering towards him.

"Mr. Orson, here you go...Woooooooo!"

"Be careful."

Orson reached out and grabbed the Snow Pheasant, who was about to fall flat on the ground, and retrieved the Red Queen at the same time.

"Um... please, please don't report me! I, I'll do anything... I just have to get the year-end bonus... There's nothing to compensate, but if Orsen doesn't mind, I, I'm more or less a girl—"
