By the ti Li Lin t up with Texas and the others, completely bewildered, almost an hour had passed. And from Texas's side, he received even more shocking news. As if everything had co together at once, they found Miss Talulah right here in this border post.
"It's said that it was because that Lord Iron Fist ca down for an inspection. Then that Miss Talulah just sought them out herself."
Croissant sat astride a chair, made two crab claw gestures at Li Lin, and said with a very strange expression:
"A very beautiful person, okay? Dressed like so rich young lady from sowhere. Behind her, there were also people said to be from Chernobog's Caster Guard protecting her; her movents and speech were all like soone out of a novel. Alas, compared to her, the few of us from Penguin Logistics are really just ugly ducklings. Feels like both our aura and appearance were completely overshadowed. How about it? Feeling very regretful for not seeing her?"
"Impossible, I don't believe there's anyone in this world more beautiful than the girls of our Penguin Logistics. Being able to see so many beautiful girls working around every day is already incredible; I simply don't believe anyone saying soone looks better than you all."
"Blegh, although Croissant, I don't get carsick much, I feel a bit like throwing up now. Prophet, where exactly did you learn so many disgusting words."
Croissant made an overtly disgusted expression, but still dragged her stool over and started whispering conspiratorially to Li Lin.
However, although her expression was subtle, what Croissant said was surprisingly all serious matters.
This mission was completed, not falsely completed, but truly completed. They didn't need to look at any Chernobog knick-knacks at all; they could just go ho tomorrow. Because that Talulah appeared in the outpost sohow, and even reached an agreent with the client, confird through multiple parties before completion.
Generally speaking, such special situations rarely occur, but Chernobog's reaction was really strange. Talulah's identity seed very mysterious; surrounding her were all those so-called dogs of Iron Fist, naly the black-robed guards. There were also clearly reactions from Originium Arts-specialized guards around. When she ca to Penguin Logistics for confirmation, she also had the air of a big shot, yet Chernobog's main leader on the surface was only Iron Fist.
And almost at the sa ti, they learned that Iron Fist was also in this border post. Claiming to be conducting public relations activities, but heading straight for the monitoring room.
No matter how you looked at it, from the perspective of ti and area, Penguin Logistics might have ended up in a not-so-good position. This strange case of the attempted Originium patient bombing, Talulah arriving with the Caster guards and Iron Fist, the timing of arrival—all proved that there was a high possibility of so problems arising on Chernobog's side.
"Texas found several dorm rooms over there and has already contacted the boss. Said we won't accept orders coming to Chernobog anymore. Although it might an losing a lot of things, safety cos first." Croissant whispered conspiratorially into Li Lin's ear: "And I also discovered, actually, I see Chernobog isn't really that strict towards Oripathy patients here; I even saw many of the internal affairs personnel from the direct subordinate units are Oripathy patients."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Really, but don't tell anyone else. I saw it accidentally. Because wasn't I setting up a stall outside? A few internal affairs personnel wanted to co over and buy sothing, but others stopped them. I saw it during the struggle. But luckily I was quick-witted, pretended to be asleep and saw nothing, and just muddled through."
"Then you're really amazing; if that had been discovered, it could have caused big trouble."
Definitely don't say more.
Looking at Croissant, whose face was normal and proud, Li Lin sincerely admired the girl's alertness.
This kind of upper-level crushing pressure and political struggle was not sothing Penguin Logistics could get involved in; getting involved ant dying without a burial place . Croissant being able to react was already quite remarkable. Coupled with the advice given by that old bear man, Li Lin was certain that Chernobog was definitely heading for major events in the next few years.
"What are you two talking about over here?"
Chewing on a chocolate stick, Texas ca around from the other end of the corridor with Exusiai, who was carrying a box of miscellaneous items.
Seeing Texas, Croissant imdiately laughed it off, then winked at Li Lin, signaling him not to reveal anything, before walking into the dormitory room and half-closing the door. And Texas couldn't be bothered with Croissant anyway; ever since getting drunk, Croissant's relationship with Li Lin had developed quite well, so there was no need for her to say anything.
Just pointing to the furthest corner of the corridor, Texas said calmly:
"I'll help you tidy up your room. You just wander around outside first."
Texas said calmly, pointed at the network cable, then gave Exusiai a aningful look .
Exusiai initially looked confused, then saw the portable computer and network equipped in the dormitory, suddenly shivered, then quickly put on an obedient smile towards Li Lin, directly pushing the bewildered Li Lin out of the corridor.
"Alright alright, Prophet. You also need to pay attention to a girl's subtle emotions."
"Eh? Ah, ah… But this is the dorm, I haven't even seen what my room looks like and you're kicking out…"
"It can't be helped that Texas suddenly wants to take a shower here; after all, everyone's been busy all day. Prophet, do you want to watch here?"
"But doesn't she have her own dorm room?"
"Alright alright, anyway, you go out first for a bit, we'll call you later, you go out and play first. We'll call you when we're ready, then you co back, okay?"
"…?????"
So what exactly is going on?
Looking at the door slamd shut in front of him with a 'bang', Li Lin scratched his head sowhat baffled, then looked towards Croissant who opened her door to watch the commotion.
Seeing the pitiful and helpless Li Lin, Croissant's face instantly showed a subtle smile, giving him a thumbs-up. Then, just as Li Lin showed the sa smile wanting to chat, she slamd her door shut with a 'bang'. Only an echo lingered outside.
"I thought I had already blended in…?"
Li Lin looked at the four closed doors, scratched his head strangely, and squatted by the entrance waiting for them to finish inside.
But not long after he started looking at the moon, a black figure appeared nearby. Seeing Li Lin squatting by the door, she was montarily stunned. Then looked at the surrounding closed doors, her pretty face seeming to show a hint of confusion.
"Are you an employee of Penguin Logistics?"
"Ah, you are that Miss Talulah?"
Looking at her appearance, wearing a formal dress yet not losing her poise, Li Lin thought for a mont and said directly.
