Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"I don't like eating game, it's okay."

Feng Qingyu picked up the wine glass and drank it quickly before the wine froze into ice.

When drinking outdoors in the tundra, the drink feels chilly at first, then suddenly becomes warm once it enters the stomach, and the warmth spreads throughout the body.

It was a bit cold on the way here, but now I don’t feel cold anymore.

"Big sister, cheer up. You still have to go to Rhodes Island with me next, so don't cry."

Tallulah wiped her eyes a few times, pretending nothing had happened, and drank two large glasses of wine in a row.

"I didn't cry because there was sand in my eyes."

"Big sister, fill it up for me."

The two drank and chatted in front of the tombstone. Before leaving, they poured the precious wine on the snow in front of Grandpa's tombstone. Tallulah didn't feel sorry for the millions of Longmen coins.

"Next summer, if I am still alive, I will come back to see you again."

Tallulah hugged the cold tombstone as if it were her grandfather.

The day of departure came quickly, and the two could not stay in the small village for a long time, as there were still many things to do. Three days later, the two boarded a flight from Ursus to Longmen.

There was no point in avoiding the issues that needed to be resolved, so Tallulah finally made up her mind to face them.

Eight Amulets

While waiting at the airport, Tallulah had a bad feeling. As the saying goes, "left eye twitching means good fortune, right eye twitching means disaster." Her right eyelid had been twitching all morning.

Although as a modern young woman with culture and ideals, it is not good to believe in superstitious things, she couldn't help thinking about it, so the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

"Xiaoyu, I have a bad feeling."

Feng Qingyu heard her repeat it several times, then went to the airport souvenir shop and bought a few handmade amulets made by Ursus people. He took one of them for himself and stuffed the rest to Tallulah.

"With these, no bad luck can come near me. The owner of the amulet saw that I bought a lot and gave me a few souvenirs as gifts."

“How many did you buy?”

"Not many, only about a hundred."

Tallulah saw the long shopping list and glanced at the prices. Fortunately, the store didn't sell things at particularly high prices, but there was definitely a premium.

"If you like this kind of thing, just tell me earlier. I'll take you to a town near the village, and you can buy three hundred for less than that much money."

"What is [this kind of thing]? It contains my concern for you."

"Sorry, I'll put it on right away, don't be angry."

Tallulah wore one of the blue crystals around her neck.

The crystal is cut into the shape of a hexagram, with patterns engraved on the front and back, and some Ursus characters engraved on the sides, containing blessings such as wishing the wearer to have his wishes come true.

She randomly picked one with the blessing "Happy Family". She had lost her home and only had a sister, so how could she have a happy family?

Since she was too lazy to change it after putting it on, Tallulah had a disdainful attitude towards the amulet. She didn't believe in such things at all. If such things were useful, the world would have less sadness and pain.

The people of Ursus worship the emperor as a god. The emperor lives in a big city and enjoys the best treatment, but his people live in dire straits. This is enough to prove superstition and worship. It is unwise to pin one's hopes on other people and things.

In order not to dampen Feng Qingyu's enthusiasm, she put it on reluctantly.

Feng Qingyu wore a bracelet. It was inconvenient to wear jewelry after wearing the collar specially used by Rhodes Island infected people around his neck, so a bracelet was also a good choice.

Wear a watch on your left hand and a bracelet on your right hand, and they do not interfere with each other.

Ursus crystal is a specialty product, affordable and with few impurities, it is a must-buy souvenir for foreign tourists. The waiting time is long, so lunch should be eaten in the restaurant in the airport.

The restaurant also provides travelers with a variety of food options. This time they unanimously chose a restaurant with Yan country flavors.

The taste of the food was not very ideal. Feng Qingyu complained about everything and expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

"The food here is far worse than that in Longmen. The shrimp dumplings have rough skin and small fillings, and the spring rolls are not fried fresh. The tea tastes okay, but the other food is simply inedible."

"If even you find it unpalatable, there's no need to eat it."

Tallulah took Feng Qingyu to the next door to the Kendaji.

"The food at a fried chicken shop is never too outrageous. The fried chicken at this airport tastes authentic, although it's a bit expensive. In the airport, apart from fried chicken and local Ursus food, you basically can't expect to eat any authentic exotic flavors."

The fried chicken shop's food was indeed much better than the so-called "authentic Yanguo" restaurant. In a place like Ursus, more than half of the food was not to my taste, and being able to eat fried chicken was already a blessing.

The main drink at the fried chicken shop is Coke, which is served in large quantities and can be refilled for a small amount of money. It is much more conscientious than the previous shop.

He had only eaten half of the burger when some messages popped up on the chat app, temporarily interrupting Feng Qingyu's meal.

There was no internet or signal in the small village of Ursus, so she just remembered that she could contact people now. There were quite a few people who sent her messages, and it took a lot of time to reply to them one by one. By the time she finished replying, the burger had gone cold.

It would be disrespectful to let food get cold at the most suitable time for consumption, so Feng Qingyu set up a one-click reply function to speed up the meal and avoid making the person he was messaging anxious.

As usual, there was a bombardment of messages. Even though it had only been four days since he lost contact, the tone of the person sending the messages became more and more urgent, which made Feng Qingyu tremble with fear.

Chen's message box was at the top, and she had just sent a bunch of messages. She seemed to be worried, and soon she called, followed by a series of harsh reprimands.

"You didn't even tell me where you went these days. Your doctor Kal'tsit also didn't know anything about it. She only told me that you asked for leave to go to Ursus. Why did you go to Ursus? Don't you know that Ursus is very harsh on the infected? If you die there, the Ursus authorities will not be responsible."

Chen's intention was not to blame or vent his emotions, and Feng Qingyu also knew the seriousness of the matter. It was indeed dangerous for her to move alone in Ursus, and she could easily be attacked and beaten to death by those who hated the infected.

Not only does the Ursus government not feel guilty, it also praises those who commit violence.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I left in such a hurry that I didn't explain everything to you. It's my fault. I'm sorry. There was no internet or signal where I went, and I fell asleep on the plane, so I forgot to reply to your message..."

Her voice became quieter and quieter.

In front of Sir Chen, Feng Qingyu had no aura at all.

"Asshole! I'll pick you up at the airport when you arrive. When I pick you up, I'll have a good chat with you. Don't even think about running away. By the way, my tail hasn't been massaged by your annular muscles for a long time. You can think about how to please me."

"I...I'll probably arrive at three o'clock tomorrow morning..."

"Got it. I have to go do something now. I'll hang up first."

Chen came and went like the wind, Feng Qingyu was still stunned, and there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Just now Chen seemed to have mentioned something like circular muscle, which might be an auditory hallucination.

Her waist has not recovered yet and can no longer withstand the damage from the ninth person.

Tallulah silently finished her burger and expressed sympathy to Feng Qingyu. Chen is now grown up, and her personality is completely different from before. It is not so easy to deal with her.

Tallulah wasn't there either. The shy little girl who used to like hiding behind him had now become so...decisive and decisive.

"Xiaoyu, are you okay? Huijie looks very angry."

"Luckily, Mr. Chen had something to do, and he was called away before he could scold me. Mr. Chen's personality is like that, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He was verbally harsh to me, but usually very gentle."

"Don't worry, big sister. I'll take the blame if Chen Sir scolds me."

"If you want to scold me, scold me. After all, I was the one who brought you to Ursus... It's hell for the infected over there, a cage of despair. Thank you very much for accompanying me. From now on, I will give myself to you. If you can't save me, then kill me..."

"Shh, don't say that word. For Rhodes Island, even the impossible will be made possible."

Feng Qingyu stuffed the chicken nuggets into Tallulah's mouth.

"If you can't talk, eat more."

9 Return to Dragon Gate

During the long return flight, Tallulah was bored and browsing the web, lacking interest. Her calm expression could not hide her uneasiness. If you look closely, you will find that Tallulah's hands are shaking badly and there are faint black threads in her eyes.

They appeared and disappeared, and spread to other places, such as her wrists and neck. Her expression was sometimes normal and sometimes gloomy, switching back and forth between the two states.

Talula reached out and pressed her right eyelid. The small area of ​​skin where her fingertips pressed was filled with unusual vitality. Even putting in eye drops and closing her eyes to rest could not stop it from throbbing.

"..."

I hope it's not that, she thought.

You have to hold on as long as you can. It is painful to stay awake. You must use your own will to suppress Kosice's will and prevent "Tallulah" from making mistakes again.

That damn old guy has controlled her body and committed too many crimes. Now it seems that only Rhodes Island can redeem herself.

"Hold on a little longer... please."

Tallulah grabbed the amulet she was wearing, took a deep breath, a deep breath, and another deep breath. The black thread in her eyes gradually faded, and this time the suppression was barely successful.

"Cough-cough-"

Following a cough, a fishy-sweet taste appeared in the mouth.

Without making a sound, she got up and went to the bathroom, where she spat a large mouthful of black blood into the sink, turned on the faucet, and flushed the blood away.

The blood gradually faded in color under the rapid flow of water until it disappeared.

Tallulah washed her face several times with cold water and rinsed her mouth to get rid of the bloody taste. Her stomach was churning as if she was going to vomit out her internal organs.

She knew that it was the old man Kosice who was torturing her, hoping to make her surrender in this way.

"If you think this can defeat me, you are wrong."

Tallulah looked at the person in the mirror, and it was as if she was looking at another person through her own reflection.

She waited until her mood and state calmed down a little before she left the bathroom and returned to her seat. Feng Qingyu woke up immediately when she realized that Tallulah was gone.

If Tallulah ran away, she would definitely be sad for a long time.

The big sister is elusive, so there are few chances to "catch" her. And when no one is watching, Tallulah will have wild thoughts, and Feng Qingyu is afraid that she will pick up a sword and kill him. It is not surprising that a person who has been under great pressure for a long time and lives in extreme pain will do anything.

I finally felt relieved when I saw Tallulah coming back from the bathroom.

"Big sister, I thought you were going to jump out of the plane to escape. Just now when I fell asleep, I dreamed that you left without saying goodbye, and I was so scared that I woke up quickly."

The dream was so real that Feng Qingyu is still in shock.

"You've watched too many air disaster movies. This time I took the initiative to seek help from Rhodes Island, how could I just leave? Originally, the trip to Dosoles should have been the end of my life. I thought you would agree to kill me, but I didn't expect you to treat me calmly..."

Tallulah asked the flight attendant to bring a glass of water and handed it to Feng Qingyu.

"Death is just an eternal way of escape. Big sister, you can't just run away from the mistakes you made. You are very strong and have the heart to help the infected. Why don't you carry this heart through to the end and find the right path with us."

Feng Qingyu's words sounded like a recruitment advertisement for Rhodes Island, and they did sound attractive.

"Come to think of it, you, Rhodes Island, have also poached a lot of people from our Reunion Movement. Have you ever considered recruiting me, the leader, as well?"

"You have to ask Kal'tsit and Amiya about this. I can't make the decision. But Kal'tsit likes to recruit all kinds of strange people, so she might be happy to do it. Big sister, you alone can match the combat power of several elite teams in Rhodes Island."

They talked about some things about the future, and the content was quite light-hearted and cheerful.

The so-called "future" never appeared in Tallulah's imagination. After all, she had not gained true happiness in these years.

"When we return to Longmen, I want to gather the troops of the Reunion Movement and tell them that the Reunion Movement will be disbanded. They are free to follow Mr. Patriot or work in other industries in the future. I just hope that I will not bring pain and despair to others. Yelena told me that after she came to Rhodes Island, she realized that the infected can also live happily and do not have to commit violence on others to get satisfaction."

A relieved smile could be seen on Tallulah's face.

She was too tired these years, and maybe it would be a good idea to let go of her obsession. Alina told her not to hate anyone, not to let hatred occupy her mind, and not to let anger spread to innocent people.

Don't harbor hatred, but uphold the justice that you firmly believe in.

She wasn't sure if she could do it, but if Feng Qingyu worked with her, maybe it would become possible.

There is nothing to worry about anymore.

……

Longmen International Airport was also very busy at 3 a.m. As the largest aviation terminal in Longmen, it has a huge flow of people every day.

No matter what time it is, there are always too few people at the airport.

Chen got up two hours earlier, had a late-night snack at a roadside stall, and then took his time to rush to the airport. The road was easy to walk on at night, and he didn't have to worry about traffic jams.

Chen had hardly ever asked for leave in her long tenure, but yesterday afternoon she asked her boss for a day off for the first time. She usually works very hard and has high performance, so her boss had no reason to refuse.

The subordinates speculated on the reason for her leave, and the most popular one was that she was dating someone. Chen ignored the gossiping subordinates. They were not that familiar with each other, so there was no need to explain everything clearly.

At the airport exit, she saw Tallulah and Feng Qingyu walking together. The two of them only took one piece of luggage on their return trip, leaving everything else in Ursus with grandma and other villagers, so Chen didn't have to help drag the suitcase.

When they met, Feng Qingyu suddenly felt tongue-tied. The reason was that Chen's complexion was so bad that it was scary, and he suspected that she was having her period.

"Morning, Mr. Chen. Did you sleep well last night?"

I don’t know what to say, let’s talk about something awkward first.

"It doesn't matter if I sleep well or not. People in our line of work can fall asleep right after lying down. I have always had good sleep quality. Are you two hungry? Do you want to go get something to eat? I have today off, so I don't have too much time."

Chen searched on his phone for restaurants open at this time. Apart from the 24-hour fried chicken shop, there was only Haimianlao Hotpot City and some food stalls.

"Just eat something, we are both very tired."
