Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Old Chen seemed to be unable to bear it and helped the little rabbit carry the iron over.

"I met Miss Chen Huijie on the way!"

Although Old Chen still held the rank of a police officer, his position as Jiedushi (Retainer of the Military Governorship) clearly took precedence. This position was effectively "Acting Jiedushi" or "Acting Governor-General." Addressing someone by this title was even more unacceptable than calling them "Director Jia."

Alina was a little surprised: "I don't need an iron..."

She quickly added cheerfully, "But it's even better!"

Amiya handed over a complete set of hand needles, sewing threads of different thicknesses, a thimble, a ruler, a chalk line, a pair of cutting scissors and small sand scissors.

Xiaolu chuckled: "What a complete set of tools, some of which I haven't even used yet."

Since she couldn't see Alina, Chen Huijie felt a little uncomfortable with the slightly weird atmosphere in the room.

Otto frowned slightly.

This is a more professional set of props.

More specifically, this is the movable part of a complete set of props used to "design" and "sew" a piece of clothing from scratch.

"no problem?"

Facing Otto's question, Amiya was a little surprised: "Doc Otter, how did you know..."

She fell silent, then shook her head and said to Ott, "It's okay. We still have her career."

These are Theresa's relics.

The former Demon Lord Theresa was once the "clothmaker" of the former Demon Lord Iresh. However, after a certain "Demon Lord Cat" led a coalition to destroy Kazdel again and again, in the ruins of their home, the former clothmaker Theresa and the former bodyguard Tracys, who served as the "Six Heroes" in the war, felt the call of the "Crown" at the same time.

Even after her coronation, Theresa still retained her hobby of designing and making clothes as a form of entertainment and a way to relieve stress.

However, as the situation in Kazdel became increasingly tense, since the outbreak of the civil war, Theresa had less and less time and energy to devote to sewing.

These props... I'm afraid no one has used them for a long time.

A hint of melancholy emanated from Otto's heart.

He let Alina manipulate his arm, slipping the thimble over the middle finger of his right hand.

Chen Huijie, whose right to know had dropped to the level of Liberi in a short period of time, was a little surprised: "Dr. Ott, you can sew?"

"Not yet."

Tallulah handed the dress to Ott.

"I borrowed some tools and modified it slightly."

She said embarrassedly: "Now it seems that I may have caused you trouble."

Alina smiled and replied: "It's not a big deal, after all..."

I've never seen Doc Otter with this expression before!

Amiya looked at Otto, whose temperament had softened. While frantically imprinting the cherished picture in her brain, she also felt very unfamiliar.

But soon there were some small incidents:

Ott's hands tried several times to align the sewing thread with the eye of the needle, but the thin sewing thread was relatively successful in aligning with the eye of the needle. Once he tried to pass through, it got squeezed into a ball.

"Something strange." Otto commented sharply.

After all, it was Ott's body that Alina was using, not her own.

He regained control and formed a slender Originium crystal shell with his bare hands. The end of the crystal shell was slender and had a barb.

Chen Huijie's eyelids jumped, and he looked up and down to see where Otto had hidden the staff.

Ott aligned the crystal shell with the eye of the needle and passed the hard end with a barb through. He wrapped the sewing thread around the barb and pulled out the slender crystal shell, and the sewing thread followed through the eye of the needle.

"There's actually this trick! Mr. Ott really deserves to be called a doctor!"

For Alina, who could thread a needle independently in her lifetime, this hand tool was naturally very novel. However, Ott himself had never seen such a tool before—he really knew nothing about sewing. This was actually an unconscious, independent, and repetitive process of reinventing the wheel.

But anyway, using this to praise someone's PhD is still too much...

At this time, Chen Huijie finally confirmed that Otto did not have a magic wand on him.

He is also infected!

No wonder he cares so much about Originium disease, and no wonder he cares so much about the infected!

She kept this information in her heart.

After threading the needle, Ott let Alina use his hands to modify the already tattered dress.

"Xiaota, do you want to change into a cloak?"

After shaking out the dress, Alina was a little surprised.

"Well, as a reminder of myself, I should wear it all the time, but I also want to distinguish myself from Kosciuszko." Tallulah said, "Let's turn it into a cloak!"

"That might not look good..." Alina pressed on, "Do we need to sew up these holes?"

"Let the wood retain the marks of the nails!" Tallulah's eyes became firm again: "That's exactly why I do this!"

"I'll just take it as it is." Alina felt a headache. "If I keep the hole, then its strength will be very low and it will break easily."

The deer girl picked up a piece of cloth and placed it on the table.

"Since you want it to be made into a cloak, I'm afraid these materials can only be used for decoration."

"The final result...you won't be satisfied."

Tallulah responded, "Since you're the one doing it, it doesn't really matter what the cloak looks like."

Alina used the chalk a little awkwardly.

She asked secretly: [Mr. Ott, can you help me draw a design? ]

Ott followed Alina's idea and outlined a series of shapes on the entire piece of cloth.

He didn't know whether Alina was using this process to satirize Tallulah or simply wanted to fulfill Tallulah's wish. But he was indeed here to correct Tallulah's mentality, so it made no difference.

Chapter 239 Remaining Issues

As mentioned above, in this bedroom, Chen Huijie's right to know is no different from that of Li Boli, who is always out of the loop.

"Leave the nail marks?" Chen Huijie pondered the words for a moment. "Do you still remember our Chinese language assignment?"

Chen Huijie asked casually, "But isn't that a fence?"

"Fence?" Tallulah was startled, but didn't take it to heart.

"It's about an angry boy. His father gives him a box of nails or something. He tells him to hammer a nail into the fence every time he gets angry, and then tear it down when he's calm." Seeing Tallulah's bewildered expression, Chen Huijie recalled, "It's a story about anger."

"What does the reference answer say...Words are like nails, leaving scars on others' hearts...?"

"Used to refer to Kosice's teachings... it has a certain 'misleading metaphor to block the path of honest criticism' feel to it."

Kasheina's favorite dress had been taken apart and sewn together with the cloak parts piece by piece as decorations.

Facing multiple layers of fabric, Alina skillfully used the thimble on Ott's middle finger. Although she had previously stated that "it might not look good", Alina still tried her best to hide the stitches in the inner layer.

After a moment's thought, Tallulah felt that Chen Huijie's version was not quite right.

Facing her half-sister, she retorted, "No matter how you think about it, wooden boards are more convenient, right?"

"Even if you say so, that's how the story was originally written!"

It seems that speedrunning has brought more than just benefits. In the absence of extreme test situations, the sisters have gradually restored their relationship to that of a normal pair of sisters...

Noisy and friendly sisters.

Chirping and fighting for something.

"Impossible! How could I remember it wrong?"

Seeing this side of Tallulah that she had never seen before, Alina's eyes were almost filled with smiles.

Regarding the comment about the "misuse of metaphor," Tallulah didn't object at all...

Seeing Tallulah's reaction, Chen Huijie also channeled her childhood state of mind: "You clearly remembered it wrong, but you're still stubborn. Anyway, Rhodes Island can receive the intercity network signal now, so why not just search it!"

Ott looked in the direction of the sound.

This is a good idea and a good breakthrough.

Under the strong command of Otto's surface thoughts, the breathing light of the handheld terminal in his pocket lit up.

Then, under Otto's silent command, the terminal read out loudly: "Search keywords "angry" + "boy" + "nail", searching..."

"Best result found... On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into the fence..."

Chen Huijie looked at Otto in disbelief: Are you really searching?

"PRTS, temporarily turn off the voice operation mode." Otto gave a fake order.

Well done, PRTS!

In my pocket, the breathing light flickered triumphantly.

It turns out that what I just said was regarded as a command by the voice assistant!

Chen Huijie turned to Tallulah and said with great energy, "See! I was right!"

"Sister! You really remembered it wrong!"

No matter how old you are, you still act like a little girl!

Facing Tallulah's "resentful" and intimate look, Chen Huijie clasped his hands beside the teapot and saluted in advance.

"Someone wants tea."

Draco shyly stole a glance at "Otto" and felt his face getting hotter when he saw Alina's crescent eyes.

She served tea to her sister respectfully and sarcastically.

"That's terrible! The tea hasn't even been poured yet and they're already clapping their hands!"

Ott is very good at chalking, and Alina is very skillful with her hands.

The various parts of the cloak were quickly sewn together with the pieces of the dress, and the next step was to make the entire cloak.

The style Alina had in mind took practicality into full consideration.

That's why Ott connected the iron to the power supply.

There are several pockets inside and outside the cloak. Before and after sewing the pockets, the iron should be used to smooth out the wrinkles on the parts.

Ott asked casually: "Speaking of Chinese, does Dayan have a song... something like... Outside the Long Pavilion..."

Chen Huijie had just read this to Wei Yanwu not long ago.

But the embarrassing thing was that Lao Wei was unreliable. After reading it privately, he went out for a walk and came back! As a result, when Chen Huijie officially left, she had already expressed her emotions, and in public... So she simply didn't read it again.

"That's 'Li Ge,' but it's not a song, it's a lyric," Chen Huijie replied. "It was written by a modern Yan country poet. Because it's so well written, everyone has been quoting it at farewells these days."

In the prototype of the Earth, it is really hard to judge whether Lige is a song or a ci. If it is regarded as a ci, then its ci tune name would probably be "Friendship Forever"

There doesn't seem to be such a problem in Terra.

Ott redirected the conversation: "Parting... Inspector Chen, when did you and Tallulah break up?"

Tallulah's face didn't look good, but she still told the truth: "It was a moonlit night with heavy rain."

"Koschei came with a secret—he revealed how Wei Yanwu killed my father."

"As the former crown prince, Wei Yanwu became sworn brothers with Victoria's deposed royal family and allowed me...our mother to marry my father."

"But when the secret was exposed, he contributed to my father's death."

The veins on Tallulah's fist gradually became apparent.

"After that, Wei Yanwu forced..." Tallulah shook her head and said, "No, to protect my mother, he married her..."

"My father." Chen Huijie's face was expressionless. "Or rather, my biological father."

A matchmaker named Lao Wei, tied two red strings, and made three cups that looked like coffee tables.

"Um..." Amiya said with difficulty, "The cloak seems to be almost finished..."

But in fact, there is no need for the little rabbit to ease the atmosphere.

Chen Huijie suddenly asked, "Wait, Tallulah!"
