"You mean you were possessed by that inexplicably confident older woman? Or that she shared a body with you and she took the initiative?"

"You also encountered this classic plot?"

"What plot? Never mind!" Talulah was confused by Luo Chen's words again.

However, she also knew that now was not the time to nitpick; she had to tell the other party about Koschei's plan within this period of time.

"Listen to me, the person who has taken over my body is a very cunning schemer. She wants to use the Reunion Movement to do some shady things, and she plans to kill everyone in the Reunion Movement."

"You know Big Bear, so you must know FrostNova and Patriot, right? Go directly to them and tell them that the old Talulah is gone, and absolutely do not believe her."

"The person currently controlling Talulah is a guy named Koschei."

"And also, kill me while I still have my senses."

"Otherwise, that guy will be back any minute."

Talulah, her face flushed red as if her mouth were on fire, blurted out all three sentences in one breath.

"At your age, why are you in such a hurry like Commander Chen? You two aren't related, are you?"

"It's such a trivial matter, why are you so anxious about committing suicide?"

"Luckily, it was me who encountered her. Otherwise, if someone else had killed her, wouldn't that have been a boon to the one who possessed her?"

Luo Chen looked at the anxious white-haired woman and sighed softly.

One's silence lasts for one minute. If the opponent is possessed by Originium Arts, then they should only have a few seconds left to act freely.

Now is not the time for her to talk nonsense.

More important than the Empire's unknown plan in progress, there was only one thing he wanted to know right now.

That was the Black Snake that possessed Talulah's body.

Isn't it interesting?

How strong is it really?

"Shut up first, then I'll ask you a question and you answer it."

Luo Chen raised his hand to interrupt Talulah was almost suffocating from her own suffocation.

"How strong is the person who possesses your body?"

"Very strong? Extremely strong. Killing you would be no problem for him, and he also has the Empire to cooperate with him... He could kill all of you without any problem."

"She's coming soon... kill me now."

Talulah's face instantly contorted with terror, for she sensed that the creature was returning.

Koschei will be back soon.

If he didn't take this opportunity to have Luo Chen kill him and then spread the empire's conspiracy, it would be too late.

"I'm asking you, is the guy who's taken over your body a bad guy?"

"Well... he's definitely not a good person."

Talulah hesitated for a moment, but then spoke urgently.

I realized that my body was starting to lose control.

Talulah didn't have time to explain to Luo Chen any further. With a swift movement, she drew her sword from her waist and pressed it against her own neck.

Since Luo Chen couldn't bring himself to do it, she had no choice but to commit suicide.

"Sigh... How can someone so old still think about suicide?"

To Talulah's astonishment, Luo Chen's movements were as swift as lightning yet exceptionally resolute.

Almost the instant he drew his sword, he extended his seemingly fearless hand and gripped the sharp blade tightly.

The cold glint of the sword sliced a thin gash across Luo Chen's skin. Instantly, bright red blood gushed out like a spring, dripping down his pale wrist and leaving a trail of crimson marks in the silent air.

"What are you doing? Can't you understand me?"

Talulah's voice trembled.

She couldn't understand why Luo Chen wanted to stop her.

Isn't she clear enough?

If we let that guy come back, it will be too late.

Luo Chen, however, looked at her as if she were a fool.

Although she didn't speak, Talulah actually read the meaning in Luo Chen's eyes.

"She's just an old lady who likes to possess other people's bodies. What's there to be afraid of?"

I'm very sorry, dear readers.

Just got home by plane, I'm so tired after a long day of traveling. I'll start writing tomorrow morning.

Chapter 231 Luo Chen cursed the Black Snake.

"The fact that they were so frightened by a mere old woman who only knows how to possess others shows why the Reunion Movement is struggling so much."

"So the problem lies with the leader."

"With a leader like you, no wonder we're always starving and getting chased by the Empire every day."

"Aren't there plenty of idiots around you who have died because of you?"

"And their deaths were rather gruesome."

"Let me guess, when they died, you probably didn't even understand why they died."

Luo Chen spoke harshly.

However, upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Talulah was like a legendary ADC who had reached the red-hot level.

She stared intently at Luo Chen, her eyes red-rimmed, as if something she least wanted to be mentioned had been exposed.

"You... you can say I'm incompetent... but you can't say they're idiots."

Tears welled up in Talulah's eyes.

She can accept all the accusations against her, but she cannot allow others to slander Alina as an idiot.

Even though so much time has passed, for some reason, Talulah still feels that some things just happened.

"Didn't you kneel down to that old lady? Aren't you an idiot?"

"Isn't a fool's friend a fool himself?"

Seeing her so vulnerable, Luo Chen knew that she hadn't given up on her life.

Generally speaking, people who have completely given up resisting will not care what they say.

She would touch her neck without hesitation.

If she can get a flushed red from her own actions, it means she still has feelings for someone, so there's no need to worry that she might die from excitement.

"You have no idea how strange she is."

Talulah's eyes were taut, and her expression grew increasingly unnatural, clearly indicating that she was gradually losing control of her body.

"You either kill me now, or you pass the message to the Patriot. Otherwise, it will be too late."

Talulah did not underestimate Luo Chen.

The fact that the other party was able to rise to a high position in the Reunion Movement in such a short time clearly demonstrates their remarkable abilities.

However, compared to a monster like Koschei who has lived for an unknown amount of time, he is definitely far inferior.

"That's a terrifying being that can't be killed, and will even turn around and control you."

Do you understand our current situation?

However, the more Talulah described the horrors of Koschei, the happier Luo Chen became.

Even though Luo Chen's hands were still bleeding, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his lips.

An entity that cannot be killed and can control more and more people to become its slaves.

Having met such an interesting person, how could he possibly let her leave so easily?

Even if we can't skin her alive, we should at least imbue her with the scent of fairness and justice, turning her into a slave to good deeds and virtuous acts.

"You are the one who doesn't understand the situation, Talulah."

Luo Chen smiled with joy.

"Providing guidance to these confused immortals is what I should be doing."

"As the leader of the Reunion Movement, I must not only rescue you, a member of the Reunion Movement, but also that poor old lady."

"You are all my subordinates. I will not abandon or give up on any of you."

Luo Chen made up his mind: he would not only help Talulah, but also the one who had possessed her body.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Talulah now understands why it was so difficult to talk to Luo Chen.

Because this guy isn't a normal person.

Talulah's initial hope seemed to be dragged into an abyss by Luo Chen's outrageous remarks, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

It's all over, everything's over!

He thought he had encountered a good opportunity to expose the hidden dangers of the Reunion Movement and prevent a tragedy from happening.

But who would have thought that after finally getting this opportunity, all I'd find is a guy with a screw loose by my side?

After hearing his advice, the man not only failed to take immediate action, but he also...

They actually wanted to try and persuade Koschei?

Is that old monster Koschei really that easy to deal with?

It's likely that it won't be long before Luo Chen also becomes one of Koschei's mind-controlled slaves.

"That's it, it's all over."

"She's back."

Talulah her hands fall limply to her sides, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground.

She could already sense that Koschei was back.

It's pointless for me to say anything to Luo Chen now.

Talulah a look of despair, but Luo Chen smiled calmly and said:

"Talulah, why don't you stand to the side and rest in the back?"

"Next, it will be my turn to talk with this immortal old lady."

"Don't worry, I will not only help you get justice for the injustices you've suffered, but I will also provide this old lady with proper guidance and discipline."

"I will continuously guide her in understanding justice and instill in her a sense of fairness, encouraging her to do good deeds day and night."

"To elevate her completely into a good person who contributes to society and Ursus."

"Whatever you want..." Talulah gave this mentally unstable lunatic one last look.

Then she slowly closed her eyes.

When the body opened its eyes again, its entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.

Having lost control of her body, Talulah silently watched Luo Chen through the eyes of the Black Snake.
