Outside Lungmen / Secrets Heard in Lungmen

Two hours later, in a cave ten kilometers outside the battlefield, the four men sat on the ground, clutching their full bellies. After looking each other over, their clear laughter once again echoed from the cave.

Chapter 373 Outside Lungmen City

After eating and drinking her fill, Talulah left alone and returned to the Reunion Movement's location.

Firstly, it was necessary to promptly inform everyone of Mephisto's execution.

Secondly, it was to prevent the Old Nobility from becoming enraged or desperate and launching a more ferocious attack on the Reunion Movement because Talulah had ruined their important plans.

The third task is to arrange for people to go to various parts of Ursus to receive the Infected have lost their leader due to the suppression of the New Reunion Movement.

Although not all of these people will be accepted, some of them are people who were not originally a mob but were forced into it, and they can be influenced and taken in.

Compared to her, the others' "tasks" were much simpler.

"So what do we do next? Wait here?" Suika asked Scout.

"How about we go back to Lungmen together first?" Hoshiguma suggested.

After all, it's only a few days' walk from here to Lungmen. We can go to Lungmen to rest first, and then follow Amiya and her group when they arrive.

Moreover, Lungmen is rich in various supplies and materials, and the battles over this period have consumed a lot of resources, especially Scout's Originium bullets, which need to be resupplied by professionals.

"Sure, I was also planning to go to Lungmen's black market to replenish my ammunition and maintain my equipment."

After Scout finished speaking, Hoshiguma looked at him and said, "Hmm."

Scout was taken aback by a question. The woman in front of him was a legitimate cop from Lungmen. Mentioning the black market and weapons in front of her was like defecating in her face.

Just as Scout was pondering how to explain himself, Hoshiguma spoke up.

"I know quite a few people in the Lungmen black market. I'll take you to meet some good vendors with reasonable prices."

As for what kind of deal you can reach with them, that depends on your own abilities.

Scout seemed a little confused after hearing Hoshiguma's words.

"It seems you don't know enough about our Hoshiguma Sir, Scout."

Hoshiguma, an inspector in the Lungmen Major Crimes Unit, used to be involved in the underworld, but was recruited by Wei Yenwu. Now, almost all of the Guard Department's informants in the slums are her people...

Hoshiguma- nee, I wasn't wrong, was I?

Hoshiguma nodded, tacitly agreeing with Suika's words.

Scout gave him an "I see" look.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

By the way, that Officer Chen must be someone of considerable status!

Scout recalled the men in black who had been subtly protecting Chen He. Although she claimed to be a sergeant from the Major Crimes Unit, Scout knew that a mere sergeant wouldn't have so many skilled protectors. Moreover, she could persuade the Governor of Lungmen to assist his side in their operations. This couldn't possibly be an ordinary identity.

"Oh, didn't I tell you?"

Old Chen is the niece of Wei Yenwu, the governor of Lungmen.

The reason we asked her to take those two little brats back to Lungmen wasn't just because they would be a burden and cause trouble, but also because we needed her help to get Governor Wei to distract the military. And do you remember how Inspector Chen and that Talulah addressed each other?

Scout's eyes widened upon hearing this. Although he had indeed heard the two call each other sisters, he had never considered it that way before, simply assuming they were childhood friends who were close.

"Holy crap, you mean Talulah from the Reunion Movement and Wei Yenwu, the Governor of Lungmen, are related by blood!"

No, Miss Chen and Talulah are not of the same race...

"Because they are half-sisters, sharing the same mother but different fathers."

"It's just that Talulah's dominant gene is from her father's side."

Suika's words made Hoshiguma subconsciously look at her. Hoshiguma did know these things, but she learned them from Chen.

Suika didn't stay in Lungmen for very long, and her relationship with Chen wouldn't have made her willingly reveal these secrets, so how did she obtain this information?

Noticing Hoshiguma's gaze, Suika winked playfully at her. Hoshiguma turned her head away, no longer thinking about the matter, since it was none of her concern whether Suika knew more or less.

"Let's set off then, and try to get back to Lungmen as soon as possible. I miss that soft, fragrant bed."

Suika stood up and stretched.

"Let's go!" Hoshiguma and Scout also stood up and packed their things.

They believed that the Ursus people would not give up easily. Even though Mephisto was dead and the New Reunion Movement had been destroyed, they definitely had other means to drag the Great Yan into the quagmire of war.

Therefore, we must go back and remind Lungmen that, as the city closest to Chernobog, it is imperative to intensify its reconnaissance of Ursus to prevent them from falling into the trap set by the Ursus Old Nobility.

After crossing Chernobog, the three quickly reached the border.

"There are quite a few spies on both sides. Are we just going to cross over like this?" Scout looked at the patrol team on the Suika with some excitement. After all, Scout's impression of her was that she was strong and could fly bricks. In this situation, would she just lead the charge and run over?

Suika's hands trembled, and the iron chains binding her head were somehow removed from her hands. She handed the chains to the two of them.

"Hold onto the chain securely, then follow the direction the chain is pulling."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the entire mountain was enveloped in a thick Dense Fog so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Faced with the eerie and massive Dense Fog, the patrols on both sides of Ursus and Lungmen instinctively moved away.

In the fog, Hoshiguma and Scout, the former's chains seemingly extending from the void, swaggered across the border and entered the territory of the Great Yan.

When the Great Fog dissipated, the three of them had arrived at a place less than ten miles Lungmen, where the buildings of the Lungmen could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Scout looked at Suika with a complicated expression. From Rhodes Island to Ursus, and just now, Suika's actions had repeatedly exceeded his expectations.

Just like that terrifying Dense Fog, as an assassin and scout, he understood the horror of that ability better than anyone.

In that Dense Fog, his senses were almost completely suppressed, and he could only vaguely sense the figure of Hoshiguma, who was less than five meters away.

If the other party is an assassin, even if their skill level is five points lower than yours, in that kind of environment, if they can accurately assassinate you, your chances of survival are less than 50%.

Not to mention the superhuman strength, speed, and ability to fly that Suika previously displayed.

While Hoshiguma was equally surprised by Suika's bizarre abilities, she was mostly pleased, because the more Suika learned, the safer she would be when she was out alone.

At this moment, Hoshiguma looked at Lungmen in the distance with more emotion than anything else, after all, she hadn't expected this trip to Ursus to be so colorful.

Chapter 374 Secrets of the Lungmen

"Oh right! Will I be able to get in?"

As they approached the gate, Suika pointed to the flow of people coming and going and asked.

After all, she was "expelled" from Lungmen last time.

Hoshiguma reached out and tapped her on the forehead.

"Can you stop being so petty? It's been so long, are you still holding a grudge?"

Suika covered her forehead with a grin, "Of course, what can I say, I'm such a cheapskate."

Seeing the two playfully bickering, Scout thought of everyone on Rhodes Island, and a smile appeared on his tired face.

As they entered the passage, Hoshiguma was recognized by the Guard Department. Led by Hoshiguma, the three of them took a special passage and entered Lungmen directly.

After arriving in the city, Suika suggested that they go get something to eat first. Although they were a little tired, Hoshiguma was also tempted because she hadn't had authentic Lungmen food in a long time. So, the three of them drove (Hoshiguma had picked up a Guard Department that was parked at the entrance after they entered the Hoshiguma) to Uncle Dong's Fish Ball Shop.

"Boss, three extra-large bowls of fish balls, please!"

Upon hearing Hoshiguma's voice, Uncle Dong poked his head out from inside with a look of delight.

"Isn't this Hoshiguma? It's been so long!"

Hoshiguma smiled and waved to him.

"It has indeed been a long time. I just got back to Lungmen and the first thing that came to mind when I thought of food was your fish balls."

"Haha, then I'll add some toppings for you, I absolutely have to add some!" Hearing Hoshiguma's words, Uncle Dong's wrinkled face beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum, and the surrounding diners all chimed in, praising Uncle Dong's fish balls as top-notch.

Not long after the three sat down, three bowls of fish balls, almost overflowing, were placed in front of them.

"Try it, Uncle Dong is being very generous, it's not easy for him to do this." Suika said to Scout beside her, looking at the bowl that was almost as big as her head.

"You silly girl, you haven't been back to Lungmen in ages, and the first thing you do when you get back is to make fun of me, huh!"

Suika didn't think she was speaking loudly, and the room was quite noisy, but even so, Uncle Dong with his sharp ears still heard her clearly.

"Haha, Uncle Dong still remembers me!"

"How could I not remember? After you left, our street lost a professional messenger, and everyone was quite unaccustomed to it for a long time."

"Speaking of which, will you be staying here permanently this time you're back?"

Uncle Dong continued asking questions without stopping his hands.

"Um, probably not. I found a job at another company. I just happened to run into Hoshiguma- nee this time, and since I had enough time, I came back to check it out."

After Suika finished speaking, she clearly sensed the regret from those around her.

"That's such a pity. Since you left, none of our messengers have lasted long in the past year or so."

"I have to go there in person every time I want to know if I've received any mail."

Suika didn't have a good solution to this either.

After all, this street is full of ordinary people, and from families that aren't particularly wealthy.

Therefore, the chances of receiving a tip are very slim.

The large number of people and the complex interpersonal relationships make delivering mail on this street a thankless and arduous task.

Not everyone is as indifferent to money as I am. Many of the messengers who run this route come from poor families, so this unprofitable job naturally becomes a burden.

So she could only bury her head in the food in front of her.

After finishing his meal, Chen walked out and saw a car parked not far away. He patted the car door.

"Let's go, Wei... the governor wants to see you."

Scout looked at Suika; he hadn't expected to meet the governor on his very first day in Lungmen.

"Let's go. Wei Yenwu may not be a decent person, but at least he doesn't eat people. We've done him a huge favor this time; he won't repay kindness with enmity, will he?"

Suika broke the tense atmosphere with a joke and got into the car first.

Then Hoshiguma and Scout also took their seats.

The vehicle soon arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

"By the way, Lao Chen... we also smuggled ourselves into Great Yan this time... I hope Wei Yenwu won't deport me again!"

Hearing Suika's words, Hoshiguma rolled her eyes. Suika was such a petty person; she was determined to get revenge for being expelled last time.

The reason it was a direct hit to someone's face was because Suika didn't lower her voice at all when she said it, and everyone around heard it.

Most importantly, she saw Governor Wei behind the gate.

At this moment, many people coming in and out, as well as the guards of the Governor's Mansion, looked in this direction.

They wanted to see which hero dared to openly declare himself a stowaway in front of the Governor's Mansion.

"Uncle... the Governor!"

As soon as Chen entered the door, he saw Wei Yenwu standing not far away.

Hearing Chen's words, Wei Yenwu felt a warmth in his heart. Although he had broken out in a cold sweat after learning about the dangers of this incident from Black Mantle, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

But if it weren't for that, Chen Hui-chieh wouldn't have been willing to call him "uncle." Heaven knows how long he had waited for those words.

Thinking of what Black Mantle had told him about Suika, and considering that Lao Chen was willing to bow down to him because she had made a lot of contributions, Wei Yenwu decided to be magnanimous and ignore her offense.

"Let's go to the reception room, everyone. Please follow me."

After Wei Yenwu finished speaking, she walked straight to the back, and the four of them followed her into the reception room.

"Now that you two have arrived in Lungmen, the matter with Ursus must have been resolved by now!"

Although he was speaking to Suika and Scout, his gaze was fixed on Hoshiguma.

He trusted her quite a bit; otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Chen's request to arrange for Hoshiguma to accompany her when she went to Ursus.

"Old Chen was involved in all of the previous events, and the people you arranged were also involved, so there's no need to repeat those details."

As for what happened after Lao Chen left, you tell us, Hoshiguma- nee."

Suika gave up her spot, while Scout had already been pushed behind her.

Hoshiguma recounted their arrival in Chernobog and their subsequent battles with the New Reunion Movement and Mephisto.

After listening, Wei Yenwu nodded.
