About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

But just as she was about to stand up, the arm that supported her body was pierced by the crossbow arrow, and the impact of the close-range explosion that could not be completely absorbed by the knight's sword caused a piercing pain.

"Be careful, Officer Chen!"

Orson opened his arms and gently hugged Chen Huijie who had thrown herself on him. At the same time, he decided to activate [Curtain Call] to block these bombs first.

And just before Orson was about to activate his Originium technique—

"You two really have the leisure and elegance, huh?"

A two-handed sword pierced into the ground directly past Orson's head, and then a hot undercurrent surged out from the floor, instantly destroying all the structures where the bombs were buried.

The dripping sound disappeared, and the room suddenly became extremely quiet, with only the voice of Draco remaining.

"How long are you going to stay together like this, Orsen, Huijie?"

Tallulah placed both hands on her sword, veins showing on her forehead as she gave a very kind smile to the two people who were almost stuck together.

84. Stop fighting, or we'll be torn apart (Physics)

Although this sudden attack on the Guards Bureau was beyond everyone's expectations, it ended very quickly and without any delay.

The moment the first bomb exploded, Wei Yanwu's private special forces unit went into action. They eliminated all unregistered individuals without pause, regardless of their true identities.

Although this behavior of killing ten thousand innocent people was extremely inhumane, it did indeed frustrate the Sicilian Gang's original subsequent plans.

The terrorist attack originally targeted the entire Guard Bureau building, but ultimately ended with an explosion in the Chief Superintendent's room on the 4th floor.

However, if it weren't for a few "troublemakers" who originally intended to violate Longmen regulations, the consequences of this terrorist attack would have been unimaginable.

At the same time, the Chief Superintendent still couldn't figure out where this guy named "Orson" came from.

"Tallulah, let me explain..."

After being thrown to the ground by Chen, Orson frantically tried to explain. He didn't even think about running away from the explosion scene. Instead, he quickly told the other party that it wasn't a sudden lustful thought that made him and Chen Huijie so close on the floor.

"Haa ...

"I'm fine... um."

Chen responded quietly, but she frowned in pain mid-sentence.

"Let me see the injury."

Seeing her sister injured like this, Tallulah no longer had the time to think about the relationship and behavior of the two people. She squatted on the ground and gently lifted Chen Huijie's arm, looking at the injury on Chen's right arm with an expression of pity and anger.

"Uh, I'm really fine. It's just a minor injury."

"How can this be called a small matter? Orson and I are by your side. At least you don't need to be stubborn at a time like this. Do you understand, Huijie?"

Tallulah forcefully pulled off her sleeve and gently wrapped it around Chen Huijie's wound, while staring at him very seriously.

"I... um, I understand."

Chen originally wanted to make some excuses, but when he saw Tallulah's concerned expression, he finally nodded shyly.

Chen has long been accustomed to being relied upon by others. Being able to rely on others and show her vulnerable side is a very new experience for her, and of course she is more shy.

"I'm sorry, Tallulah, I couldn't fully protect Officer Chen..."

Orson sat up from the ground, his expression somewhat lost, and he didn't even dare to look directly at Tallulah beside him. After all, he had promised Tallulah before carrying out this operation that he would protect her sister's safety, but in the end she still suffered such harm.

"Don't say that" "It's not your fault"

The two sisters retorted in unison, causing Orson to blink.

"I rushed over after hearing your call. If I had arrived earlier, Huijie might not have been hurt. As for Huijie... she must have realized that the path we choose is not smooth sailing, and there is no need to hide behind her and watch others work hard, right, Huijie?"

After Tallulah finished bandaging the wound, she reached out a hand to Chen Huijie and pulled her up from the ground, while asking her sister with a smile.

"That's right, sister."

Chen held Tallulah tightly with her uninjured left arm. Although they had been separated for a long time, the two sisters were still connected by blood and they still had the same beliefs and ideals.

...and the opposite sex you like.

"Tallulah, my daughter—when you make a dashing appearance like this to save someone, you should assert your dominance, not engage in a sisterly feud with your sister, who is also your rival...!"

Although the two completely eliminated the estrangement because of this crisis, Black Snake, as the "old mother", shook his head after watching it.

If I were to take on the same situation and action, I'm absolutely confident that I'd be pinned to the ground by this idiot Chimera in just 20 minutes, using constant pauses—cough cough cough, this sounds even more off… You didn't hear anything, my daughter…!

——Did you accidentally drink some nuclear waste?

[No! Anyway, don't bother trying to improve Chen Huijie's favorability at this time. I made a bet with that guy Wei Yanwu. You have to take down that idiot first, no matter what. If that doesn't work, let me do it. I'm an immortal black snake after all. Simply pleasing a man—it hurts!]

—You’ve been getting really outrageous lately! What’s wrong with you?

Talulah used the "Mind Slash" to let Black Snake taste the feeling of being "slashed", and she will definitely be able to use it next time.

Talulah felt more and more that something was wrong with Black Snake. However, of course, Talulah didn't consider the issue of men and women at all. She just thought that Black Snake was recalling the past after coming to Longmen, so his mind became abnormal.

In reality, Black Snake, as a skilled manipulator of people, had naturally noticed her recent anomaly. However, as the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see more clearly. Black Snake, who often criticizes Tallulah's disgraceful love skills as a seasoned veteran, became incredibly confused when it came to herself.

She would never admit that she had developed some kind of emotion towards this boy beyond "interest", even if he was the first person who touched her soul, the first person who told her "I can understand even if you lose your past heart", the first person who took her virginity with tentacle play... cough cough cough.

Even so, Black Snake still wouldn't admit it. This was a stubbornness and reserve that had built up over the millennia. She would only convince herself time and again that she was only trying to bring Tallulah and Orson together "for fun," and that if necessary, she would "demonstrate in person" out of frustration. That was all.

"Are you OK?"

Orson noticed the fluctuations of the black snake hidden in Tallulah's body, and he looked over and asked with concern.

"You idiot...don't forget, you're the one who will eventually kill me completely one day."

Black Snake temporarily closed her consciousness. She needed some time to disguise herself again, at least so that Tallulah and Orson wouldn't find out.

After all, what's the big deal about a mother and daughter trying to race against each other...!

Chen Huijie, an outsider who had never been involved in the triangle relationship between Black Snake and Ocentalula from beginning to end, re-observed the scene and confirmed that the Chief Superintendent, who could no longer be considered a "human", was at least still alive.

"Then let's call it a day—I still can't understand why these people would willingly lurk in Longmen for such a long time, just for the possibility of betrayal someday... What exactly is "family" to them?"

Chen looked at the Chief Superintendent who had turned into a piece of meat with lingering fear. This guy's loyalty to the Sicilian Gang was not the only one. In fact, one of the reasons why Longmen had not been able to wipe out the Sicilian Gang was that those who were arrested and brought to justice, the guys who were willing to confess everything, were often thugs who knew nothing, while those who were really involved in the core, without exception, willingly chose death and life imprisonment, and would not reveal a single piece of information about their leader.

"I don't know, but... there are some words in this guy's words that really concern me. If possible, I hope to talk to the mastermind behind all this. His goal doesn't seem to be for power, but rather for some... some larger means of survival."

When Orson said this, he somehow recalled 'Doc', the girl with long brown hair, a blue coat that was completely inconsistent with her body shape, and a permanent silly smile.

In her sealed and incomplete memories, the 'Doctor' seemed to have been fighting against something all the time. She kept traveling around the world and constantly contacting various camps, all in order to achieve a certain goal, a goal that she had not been able to complete.

The gods of the past are awakening, the land of Terra is gradually sinking—I'm the only one who knows all this, so there's no way I can pass the buck, right? Hehehe, although at first I really just wanted to rub Amiya's head, rub Kal'tsit's ears, and pet cute Rosemary!! Ultimately, there's no way anyone would want to continue this mess! I'm so pissed, Orson, just pretend to be a Filin and act cute to appease me today!

——Hmm…!

The doctor's words once again emerged in his mind. Although her words were as outrageous as before and involved juvenile crimes, they also revealed some information that he had forgotten.

The memories came to an abrupt halt again, as if hitting a rusty lock.

I'll find time to have a good chat with Miss Mostima...

As Orson thought this, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Sister Jingzhe, what's going on over there?"

Noticing it was his "adopted sister" calling, Orson immediately answered the phone. Meanwhile, Tallulah, standing nearby, perked up her tail and ears upon hearing the words "Sister Jingzhe."

I had heard before arriving at Longmen that this kid Orson had somehow found another sister.

Before she developed feelings for Orson, Tallulah had always considered herself his "sister." Even though her current target had become his "girlfriend," Tallulah still held a certain brotherly attitude toward him. Because of this, as his former sister, Tallulah was deeply curious about Jingzhe and harbored an inexplicable hostility.

"I want to see how you managed to become Orson's sister. Seduction? Money? Snacks? Or maybe political tactics?"

"I'm fine here, don't worry for now... Um... Tallulah? It's hard for me to call you like this..."

Orson looked at Tallulah awkwardly in the middle of his speech. At this time, in order to monitor what the other party was saying, the fire dragon put half of its head next to Orson's cheek.

"You're doing this again... Tallulah"

Chen, who was standing by, naturally would not stand there quietly when she saw the two of them with their faces pressed together. She immediately moved to the other side of Orson and used the excuse of "shoulder injury" to hold Orson back.

——It’s so crowded, so hot, and so wet...!

Orson, who was sandwiched in the middle and holding his phone, complained quietly in his heart.

The room temperature had already soared due to the violent heat absorption and release of the knight sword "Red Queen". Later, the spread of Tallulah's molten fire made the temperature rise even higher. At this time, Chen's body was already soaked in sweat, and the shirt on his chest even became translucent, and Tallulah's white dress was stuck to his skin.

In this situation, the two of them were pressed tightly together, and although most people might consider it "bliss", Orson only felt like a slice of cheese.

"Are you really okay over there...?"

Jingzhe on the other end of the phone seemed to have noticed something strange about Orson.

"It's okay, it's okay. Compared to that, how are Texas and the others doing—Pfft!"

Orson hurriedly asked about Texas's condition, but when Chen and Tallulah heard Texas' name, they moved closer together. This time, Orson could even feel the sweat beads dripping down their skin hidden behind their clothes.

After realizing that the Sicilian Gang might be about to take action, Orson immediately made two calls, to Tallulah and Jingzhe.

He signaled Tallulah to find Chen Huijie as quickly as possible, while he went to find the Chief Superintendent (although they met up in the end). He also signaled Jingzhe to secretly go to Penguin Logistics in the most covert way possible.

One of the targets of the Sicilian gang leader, the man known as the "Godfather", is Texas, and he will definitely not miss such a perfect period of turmoil to achieve his goal.

"Miss Texas and her friend Miss Lappland are both fine. Just as you said, someone did come here. If nothing unexpected happens, it's the leader we saw on the surveillance camera that day. Sorry, although I tried to stop him, he still escaped. My Originium skills easily blocked him... Well, I'm so disappointed!"

"As long as you and Texas are safe, Sister Jingzhe! No need to chase them anymore. They're extremely dangerous. I'll be there soon—Puff!"

When Orson said "it will pass", Tallulah slapped Orson's thigh hard with her tail, and Chen silently rubbed Orson's scalp with his horns.

These two really are sisters...!

After that phone call, Orson almost lost his life, but he also felt much more at ease.

The leader, the 'Godfather', did want to take advantage of the chaos to deal with the two wolves, but it was not known whether it was because of the Jingzhe Yan State Supervisory Department's identity that made it difficult to act, or perhaps it was because the planned terrorist attack by the Central Guard Bureau was not carried out, but at least he temporarily stopped the action.

The next target should be him, the man who said he wanted to fight [something] and was willing to disrupt the entire Longmen for this.

Find him, ask him for all the information about the 'God', and then kill him.

easy to understand.

It was the first time that Orson felt so glad that he had come to Longmen, because he finally had the opportunity to take a peek at what the "Doctor" of the past was fighting.

"Orson, come with me to make a report later."

"How is that possible, Huijie. Come with me and leave here quickly, and find a place to rest, Orson."

"You guy...!"

“Be good and listen…!”

"My my my arm is going to be dislocated - gab"

——I really shouldn’t have come here…!!

Orson thought so as he was almost split in half by the two dragons quarreling again.

85. Wei Lao Er, you can’t control it, let Miss Black Snake come

Although the turmoil from the Sicilian Gang has ended temporarily, there are still many more things that everyone needs to deal with.

Terrorist attacks of this magnitude were not uncommon for Longmen, but to have one happen at a banquet, and to have nearly blown up the entire Guards building, a terrorist attack that had been lurking for at least six months, was a first for Wei Yanwu.

"Are you all okay... Wow, this looks like a big scene."

After handling the bomb explosion case of the Chief Superintendent, Xingxiong led a group of special police to the scene.

"It would have been even bigger if Orson and Tallulah hadn't helped."

Chen sighed in response, glancing at the Chief Superintendent beside him who had become something other than a human being.

"It looks like the Imperial Guard has benefited from your help again, Orson. Hahaha, how about you come work for us? At least that way, we won't feel guilty about owing you too many favors and being unable to repay them."

Xingxiong said jokingly to Orson, who smiled and shook his head.

"This is not just my achievement. Everyone in the Imperial Guard Bureau also helped a lot."

"Who knows? There have been reports of many unidentified men in black being seen throughout the building, and some patrons invited to the banquet have also disappeared inexplicably. At least these weren't done by our Guards. They're more likely to—you should understand, Orson."

Xingxiong shrugged, and Orson, standing beside her, understood what she meant. He and Xingxiong had once encountered the "mysterious man in the black straw raincoat," and had even engaged in a fierce battle. The man possessed considerable combat prowess, but even more terrifying was his fanatical, almost religious, faith in something, and his unfettered, unfettered demeanor.

"Those people...are here too?"

[It's the 'Black Cape' in Wei Yanwu's possession, right? Haha, I originally thought he wouldn't continue with this plan. Apparently, the resources required to manage Longmen have far exceeded his original expectations.]
