Chapter 179
She will never show herself unless absolutely necessary.
Why was it so casual this time?
The red-haired Angel still didn't realize what Phoenix Project truly represented.
Xiao Huasheng stared at her blankly for a moment, while Angela maintained her secretary demeanor, bringing out an EGO outfit and instantly dressing Xiao Huasheng in it using her Distortion ability.
The adorable blue-haired Angela smoothed Xiaohua's collar again, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xiao Huasheng was properly dressed.
"Hmm, supervisor, you look very handsome."
The red-haired Angel was dressed in a men's tailcoat, looking very formal, quite different from their usual casual clothes, clearly an outfit brought from the White Gan Band.
"Angela..."
"Let's talk again at the company after you've completed the task Wei Yenwu gave you. There's something we need to discuss, but it's not convenient to talk about it here."
As Angela spoke, she bent down, picked up some of the candies from the ground, and then leaned her waist against Xiao Huasheng's right hand in a very suggestive manner.
The next moment she disappeared from Xiao Huasheng's sight, clearly having returned to Lobotomy Corporation.
Besides bringing Xiao Huasheng a set of clothes, he also took some candy with him.
Everyone was stunned.
Who was that just now?
Skadi replied expressionlessly, "Angela."
"Oh..."
FrostNova and the others were confused; it was as if they had said nothing at all!
"It's alright, you'll find out who she is soon enough."
Subsequently, Xiao Huasheng sent everyone here for training.
Before long, they truly felt the care from Angela.
Angela's training became increasingly proficient, and she released everyone in no time.
Fifteen minutes had passed since they left and returned.
FrostNova spoke with Xiao Huasheng again, expressing her Xiao Huasheng.
"I'm so lucky to have met you."
FrostNova had a candy in her mouth, and on her chest was a Lobotomy Corporation badge, which Angela distributed to every employee to prevent them from encountering the same person in different timelines when they traveled to the same world.
Xiao Huasheng glanced at her and nodded.
Then, FrostNova seemed to be savoring something as she looked into the distance.
"I often wonder why these disobedient hands insist on reaching for that unattainable dream," she said, continuing, "But I think that dream is achievable."
"What dream?"
"To live on with the people I cherish," FrostNova said.
"..."
The red-haired Angel fell silent. Could this really be called a dream?
Then, FrostNova smiled sweetly at Xiao Huasheng and hugged her tightly.
"Manager, let's start over. Please grant me this wish."
FrostNova's eyes were now filled with the bewildered look of Angel, and Patriot was completely convinced, standing silently to the side.
His child... did not die in vain.
Perhaps, this is the future for those the Infected.
Chapter Twenty-Four: Why do these disobedient hands try to reach for that unattainable dream? [2 Updates]
Feeling the presence of FrostNova's equally impressive mountains, Xiao Huasheng smelled a cool scent. Although he was used to being hugged by various cute little sisters, FrostNova's scent was still different.
Upon seeing this, Ku Tang immediately ran over and hugged Xiao Huasheng as well.
The two adorable white furs stared at each other, their eyes holding a slightly aggressive gaze.
Ku Tang embraced Xiao Huasheng, asserting her dominance.
"Well, everything has its order of arrival, and Ku Tang has clearly reminded you of that," she said, naturally wanting to give a tough start as a long-time employee of the company.
"Hmm... I don't think there's any order to it. I remember you were frozen solid just now, weren't you?" FrostNova retorted sharply.
Ku Tang just pouted, her face flushed, clearly angry.
Xiao Huasheng looked at the two of them and was speechless.
An unexpected battleground.
As for the same white-haired killer whale...
Skadi was eating milk candy while shaking her head, clearly having no intention of participating in the competition.
Inside Lungmen, the situation was quite different from the peaceful environment where Xiao Huasheng was.
Boom!
The heavy solid wood office door was reduced to charred fragments scattered in a blast of scorching heat!
A figure, radiating intense killing intent and a sulfurous aura, stormed in like a whirlwind.
Talulah, the leader of Reunion Movement, now had icy flames burning in her golden eyes, and the Blazing Flame Sword in her hand, forged from pure Originium Arts, was radiating a heat so intense it could Distortion the air.
Her gaze instantly locked onto the figure standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the night view of Lungmen.
There was no wasted words, and the other party wasn't even given any time to react.
Talulah's figure flashed, and the Blazing Flame Sword, carrying the howl of death, was precisely placed against Wei Yenwu's neck.
The flames leaping from the sword's edge were only millimeters away from his skin, and the scorching heat even caused the ends of his neatly combed sideburns to curl slightly and turn yellow.
However, to Talulah's surprise, Wei Yenwu did not show the slightest panic or intention to resist.
He didn't even turn around.
The dragon simply stood there quietly, as if the weapon resting on its neck was not a deadly weapon that could instantly take its life, but merely an insignificant fallen leaf.
He took a deep drag on his long pipe, then slowly exhaled the milky white smoke toward his reflection in the glass window, his eyes deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
The swirling smoke between the two intertwined with the heat emanating from the Blazing Flame Sword, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.
"Why didn't you avoid it?" Talulah asked in a cold voice.
Wei Yenwu's unusual calmness, however, aroused a hint of doubt in her heart.
Wei Yenwu finally moved, gently flicking the ash from his cigarette with his free hand.
His gaze, filtering through the smoke, remained fixed on the cityscape outside his window, a view that belonged to him.
"Fear. Of course I'm afraid." He paused, then changed the subject slightly, "But more than death, Talulah, I want to ask you a question."
"Are you... really Talulah?"
Wei Yenwu gave her a deep look.
Given Talulah's previous manipulation of Chernobog to ram into Lungmen, it's clear that as the leader of the Reunion Movement and the lord of Lungmen, they are irreconcilable enemies.
Yet beneath this relationship lies the inescapable bond of blood.
Talulah came alone, clearly not intending to go back.
"Of course I am!"
Talulah's answer was resolute, filled with undeniable anger.
The Blazing Flame Sword in her hand moved forward another half step, the scorching heat even causing the skin on Wei Yenwu's neck to turn slightly red.
"Is that so?"
Wei Yenwu's hand trembled slightly as a packet of powder, extremely effective in clearing the mind, slipped from his sleeve.
Talulah couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely.
"Well!"
A suppressed groan escaped from her throat.
It felt as if her head had been struck hard by an invisible hammer, sending a sharp and intense pain through her!
An indescribable mix of emotions welled up in her mind.
All along... has she really been herself?
Talulah had sworn never to do what the Black Snake wanted, yet her actions were becoming more and more like the Black Snake's.
The excruciating pain forced her to abruptly withdraw the sword from Wei Yenwu's neck, clutching her forehead tightly with her other hand, her body slightly hunched over.
In those eyes that burned with icy flames, a trace of indescribable chaos and confusion flashed.
Right in this gap--
The broken doorway to the office was now blocked by a thin figure.
The Rat King, Lin Ge Rui, stood there silently, toying with two walnuts in his hands, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, fixed firmly on Talulah.
"What's wrong? Just because she's your niece doesn't mean you can't handle it?" he questioned Wei Yenwu.
Meanwhile, in the shadowy corner of the room, the air began to Distortion unnaturally.
Several Shadow Guards dressed in black uniforms, wielding weapons, and with red masks covering their faces, appeared silently like ghosts.
They remained silent, radiating a chilling killing intent and an ominous aura, completely sealing off all possible escape routes for Talulah.
The reinforcements arrived just in time.
An overwhelming sense of oppression instantly filled the entire space, trapping Talulah, who had just been in control, in a tight encirclement.
Wei Yenwu continued smoking calmly, watching Talulah clutching her head in pain, a complex and unfathomable light flashing in his eyes.
His question just now didn't seem to be unfounded.
"Hahaha... Well done, Wei Yenwu."
Talulah laughed and began to speak.
"How much effort have you poured into this city all this time... If half the people here die, will the legend of Lungmen continue?"
At this moment, black tentacles emerged from Talulah's body; the Black Snake had stopped pretending altogether.
This snake is using Talulah as a punching bag, aiming to completely ignite the conflicts in Lungmen and start a war to divert attention from the internal strife within Ursus.
"As expected, you're not her."
The next moment, Wei Yenwu's weapon was already drawn!
A smile appeared on Black Snake 'Talulah face; this was exactly what she wanted.
Whether Talulah dies here, causes massive destruction to Lungmen, or pushes the Infected to extremes, it's all what Black Snake wants to see!
Only in this way can the corrupt Ursus be saved!
Let Lungmen be the sacrifice first!
Just at this critical moment, a red-haired figure flashed in.
Xiao Huasheng looked at the Black Snake Talulah and the surrounding environment that was about to be melted by the high temperature and asked a question.
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
Everyone suddenly looked at Xiao Huasheng in the center at the same time.
The first to take action was the Black Snake Talulah.
Chapter 25: Come here~~ [1 update]
Talulah the Black Snake Serpent turned and ran.
She dragged her long tail and ran wildly outside without the slightest hesitation.
To be honest, even the mighty Black Snake wouldn't dare to be careless when facing a ruthless individual who could halt an entire mobile town with almost no losses.
