I'm Ready!

Talulah looked at the concealed sharp weapon before her, her eyes slightly lowered.

A moment later, she turned her head to look at Chen beside her, and spoke as if mocking him.

"He's even entrusted Chixiao to you."

"... This has nothing to do with us!"

Chen gritted his teeth.

Having been teased by Talulah several times, she no longer wanted to discuss their past!

Now she only needs to do one thing.

Stop Talulah from continuing her insane plan!

We absolutely... absolutely cannot let Talulah continue down the wrong path!

"Irrelevant?"

Talulah didn't think these things were irrelevant; she just kept her eyes slightly lowered.

"But I feel like everything is connected... Chen."

"... Talulah, what do you mean?!"

"It means exactly what it says... Chen, I don't understand." Talulah's eyes showed a hint of regret.

She looked at her younger sister in front of her, her face filled with incomprehension.

"Why?"

"..."

Why are you helping that guy Wei Yenwu?

"..."

"He killed our mother, murdered my father, and brought you into this world... I'm reluctant to use such adjectives to describe you, but in fact, your birth was not blessed. Your mother was forced to marry your biological father and give birth to you." Talulah's words were cold, and with a brutal attitude, she slowly tore apart Chen's psychological defenses.

"You are an unblessed child. Apart from your mother, a gentle woman, who is happy for your birth, no one cares. Even Wei Yenwu's concern for you is largely to comfort his mother's pain... Who would care about someone like you?"

Talulah spoke softly, gradually changing Ch'en Hui-chieh's expression from anger to hesitation, and then to confusion and fear.

A sense of self-identity is on the verge of collapse.

Yes...

The marriage between her mother and father was a brutal, manipulated union... She was never a planned child from the very beginning.

After I was born, my father didn't care much about me... but my mother remained as gentle as ever.

Ch'en Hui-chieh had never thought about this issue carefully before, but now that Talulah had pointed it out, she had to start recalling her identity.

Should I... really have been born into this world?

In an instant, Ch'en Hui-chieh's shoulders slumped.

But at that moment, Talulah suddenly reached out her hand.

I still care about you~

"Ah..."

Ch'en Hui-chieh raised her head blankly and looked in front of her.

It was an incredibly soft face.

At this moment, Talulah surprisingly abandoned her absolute dominance over Ch'en Hui-chieh, put down her weapon, and instead cupped Ch'en Hui-chieh's face in her hands, making the two look at each other face to face.

"I still care about you, my dear sister..."

"Talulah ..."

"You are my only family in this world, and my only concern. Perhaps your birth was not expected by anyone, but... I don't care, Chen. From the first moment I saw you, I knew that I was your sister, your blood-related sister."

Talulah's voice was very soft, so soft that it sounded like she was whispering in Chen's ear.

"Wei Yenwu is not trustworthy, and Lungmen is a filthy place. The harm they have done to us and the persecution of the Infected have penetrated to the bone."

"This place is not worth you and your companions giving your lives for."

"Look, Chen, you can see it, right?"

Talulah turned around and pointed in a direction for the bewildered Chen.

Not far away, the enormous Mobile City-State was already faintly visible.

But inside, several enormous machines were operating quietly.

Most people might not know what this is, but Ch'en Hui-chieh recognized it.

Ship-mounted artillery... every Mobile City-State has it, and it's the only weapon they possess in non-special operations situations.

If this shot hits, it will be enough to stop the relocation of Mobile City-State of the same size!

If this shot hits the Platform 17 now, the entire platform will explode!

"Look at what our dear uncle has done."

"He clearly knew you were on it too, yet he still activated this weapon... You're not thinking that Wei Yenwu had no choice at this point, are you?"

Talulah's voice was low and seductive.

Like a Blades, she easily pried open the most vulnerable part of Ch'en Hui-chieh's heart, trying to draw her to her side little by little.

"So... don't continue down this wrong path, Wei Yenwu. Lungmen isn't worth your sacrifice. Only I care about you, Chen. I'm your older sister."

Talulah's voice was soft, and as she looked at Chen, whose eyes were becoming increasingly confused, her smile grew even gentler.

But...

"Step back!"

A magic bullet, seemingly launched from nowhere, grazed Talulah's face. The weakened Amiya struggled to her feet and stood protectively in front of Ch'en Hui-chieh.

"Are you alright, Ms. Ch'en Hui-chieh?"

Despite her young age, Amiya has experienced a lot of struggle.

She could naturally see Ch'en Hui-chieh's confusion at that moment.

But that won't do!

"I don't know what happened between the two of you in the past, but... at least, the citizens of Lungmen are innocent and have nothing to do with these things!"

Amiya whispered a reprimand, trying to bring Ch'en Hui-chieh back to her senses.

Regardless of what Ch'en Hui-chieh and Talulah discussed, one thing is certain.

If they can't stop this moving platform, everyone in Lungmen will die!

There may be bad people among them.

But the vast majority are just ordinary people.

Dragging them into disaster for one's own selfish desires... This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Is that so?" Talulah's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Then... little rabbit, how can you be sure that the Originium Cannon in Lungmen was Wei Yenwu's own doing?"

"How much of that is the opinion of the innocent citizens you speak of?"

Talulah continued, her sharp words leaving Amiya speechless.

She believes people are inherently good, but... she also knows that not many people remain kind when faced with a life-or-death situation.

Talulah is right; the changes in Lungmen at this time likely reflect the opinions of many citizens.

They didn't care about Rhodes Island and Ch'en Hui-chieh's group fighting here; they just wanted to survive...

"Amiya... I..."

Ch'en Hui-chieh's expression was conflicted.

She looked at the little girl protecting her, then at Talulah, who was still gazing at her tenderly.

For a moment, her stance began to waver.

But looking at Hoshiguma and the others who were struggling against the Blades, she gritted her teeth.

"No... Talulah, not now!"

She repeated it twice, her tone gradually becoming more firm.

Perhaps Talulah is right, perhaps Lungmen isn't worth her sacrifice.

But... what does that have to do with the present?

If it were any other time, Talulah wanted revenge on Wei Yenwu, she might have joined in.

But absolutely not now.

Their family conflicts and hatreds are their own business, and the entire Lungmen should absolutely not be dragged into it!

As Talulah said, the two sisters were the closest blood relatives who could trust each other!

But precisely because of this, Ch'en Hui-chieh absolutely cannot allow Talulah to continue down the wrong path!

I... must stop them now!

Chapter 207 Already Aware!

"You've disappointed me somewhat, Chen."

Talulah, her words filled with the most sincere emotions.

She was indeed a little disappointed in Ch'en Hui-chieh.

She couldn't understand what Ch'en Hui-chieh was holding onto at this moment.

The entire Lungmen was almost entirely built by that guy Wei Yenwu, and all that place brought to the two sisters was pain.

Why, why is it that her sister, who should hate Wei Yenwu as much as I do, is standing so desperately in front of me at this moment...?

But Talulah wasn't in the mood to ask any more questions.

She simply and quietly raised her longsword.

A faint spark clung to it again.

"Chen, this might be the last time." Talulah looked at her sister calmly. "Don't stop me... otherwise, I really will kill you."

"... You can't kill me, Talulah."

Taking a deep breath, Ch'en Hui-chieh gripped the standard-issue Blades beside her, her eyes gradually sharpening.

Amiya, standing to the side, also raised her hand, aiming at Talulah.

The battle resumed in an instant!

"Clang clang clang dang dang dang!"

The attacks came in rapid succession, like a relentless tidal wave.

Talulah merely frowned, brandishing her Blades to defend herself.

The battle between the two sides quickly escalated into a fierce stage.

Meanwhile, Amiya was constantly covering for Ch'en Hui-chieh, whose abilities were slightly weaker.

However, it is clear that their combat strength is still somewhat weaker compared to Talulah's.

To make matters worse, the people fighting nearby also fell into a state of sluggishness.

The power of the Blades was truly terrifying.

In particular, the combination of these sharp Blades, emitting a black mist, restrained everyone's movements.

To make matters worse, in addition to the first five who arrived, three more Blades followed!

Lungmen, the Shieldguards, and the Snowfield Guerrillas fought desperately but only managed to hold off two of them, still at a disadvantage. Meanwhile, Kal'tsit was protecting the Doctor while dealing with the three Inner Guards.

Patriot was getting old after all, and it was extremely difficult for him to withstand three Blades on his own. Only with the support of Lappland and Texas did he not fall, even though he had already exhausted a lot of energy.

The situation is getting worse.
