"You... are you a messenger of natural disasters?"
After looking at the 'identity certificate' that Bai Mo handed over, Chen's expression instantly became quite interesting.
While the information on the identity document is indeed correct, the occupation listed as "Disaster Messenger"... isn't that a bit absurd?
It's not that she's prejudiced, but what kind of disaster messenger would be so rich? And that outfit and appearance... she really isn't some rich young lady?
To be honest, Chen didn't know much about the Agor people in Iberia, but she still had some ability to discern. In short, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't think Bai Mo was a messenger of natural disasters.
"What? Doesn't it look like it?"
"...It doesn't seem quite like it, but...there shouldn't be any natural disasters forming near Lungmen."
Although he still didn't believe it at all, out of trust and respect for the profession of messenger of natural disasters, Chen subconsciously asked the question, forgetting for a moment his original purpose for coming here.
"There are no natural disasters, but man-made disasters are another matter. Of course, now that I'm here, Longmen will naturally be safe and sound."
After all, if I don't come, your dear sister might drive Chernobog to crash into Lungmen one day, and if Rhodes Island can't stop her, she might even be able to start a war between Ursus and Great Yan.
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later, since Longmen still needs to go through a period of turmoil before that.
"Man-made disaster?"
Upon hearing those two words, Chen instinctively said them.
"Ah... those are all trivial matters, don't worry, I'll handle that."
Realizing he might have misspoke, Bai Mo patted his mouth and quickly tried to make amends.
"Please explain more clearly, Miss Asura, otherwise..."
Seeing that Bai Mo didn't seem to be lying when he said those words, and considering his current reaction, Chen immediately slammed his hand on the table and said seriously.
After all, she had to nip anything that could potentially harm the safety and health of the people of Longmen in the bud.
"Otherwise what? Or does Officer Chen really believe my side of the story? Don't you in the Guard Bureau know what's going on in Lungmen lately? And of course, there's Wei Yanwu too. If you don't believe me, just give him a call."
"..."
As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, Chen suddenly fell into deep thought, then took out his phone and went out to make a call.
Of course, she didn't call Wei Yanwu directly. Instead, she first called Wei Yanwu's "boss," Madam Wen Yue, and only after inquiring whether Wei Yanwu had anything urgent to attend to did she reluctantly make the call.
She must not take matters of the Dragon Gate lightly, and she must ensure that this is done properly.
She hadn't noticed anything unusual about Lungmen from the Royal Guard's side recently; the only thing she needed to confirm was what was happening above.
"...This level of execution is truly unmatched."
Inside the interrogation room, Bai Mo looked at Chen Huijie, who was frowning at the door, and felt a little embarrassed.
Hey~
............
After a while, Chen pushed open the door and entered, his gaze toward Bai Mo becoming complicated.
She truly didn't expect that she would call Wei Yanwu based on such an unsubstantiated statement; she must have been too caught up in official business lately.
But because of Bai Mo's mysterious identity, she had to be cautious, which was a real headache.
Seeing the helpless expression on Chen Jin's face when he entered, Bai Mo smiled apologetically and then steered the conversation back on track. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to say if things continued like this.
"Ahem... Let's get back to the main topic. Didn't I say earlier that I wanted to borrow something from you, Officer Chen? It's not the Crimson Sky Sword or anything like that, it's just a photograph."
"It's... Officer Chen, the picture of you and Talulah when you were kids."
However, the moment Bai Mo finished speaking, Chen's facial expression became quite interesting.
Chapter 1 Destination Ahead: Rhodes Island
In the end, Bai Mo walked out of the interrogation room satisfied, holding the photos that Chen had just handed over.
Was it a combination of coaxing and deception? Not really, since Bai Mo only mentioned Talulah's current situation and that she was now under the control of the old black snake.
Bai Mo didn't mention anything deeper, such as Talulah's attack on Lungmen. She only clearly told Chen that she would resolve the Black Serpent's threat, and that the photo was just a token, which was dispensable in a sense.
At first, Chen was unwilling to believe it, but when Bai Mo accurately revealed some secrets known only to the two sisters, and then produced information about the Reunion Movement (which she had fabricated, but could actually be verified), Chen finally believed Bai Mo's story and was willing to hand over the photos in her hand.
After all, in Chen's eyes, even if Bai Mo fabricated these things and was deceiving her, all she had lost was a photo that she had just backed up. And if this were to come true, she and Talulah would have a chance to reunite.
Even she herself didn't believe that Talulah would come to Lungmen again, but wasn't this an opportunity?
...................
"Hmm? Anything else you want to ask?"
At the door of the interrogation room, Bai Mo looked at Chen, whose face was deep and serious.
"Could you please tell me why you did this? We don't even have any connection, this kind of thing..."
"Doesn't that seem redundant?"
Bai Mo answered first, and Chen nodded silently.
After all, in her eyes, Bai Mo was nothing more than a complete stranger to her and Talulah. Was it really worth it to do this for a stranger?
However, Bai Mo's next words gave Chen a new understanding of Bai Mo.
"There is no shortage of suffering people on this land, but if a person has the power to change the fate of others, he should always do something. At least, that's how I personally feel."
"Moreover, a friend of mine once said that even if the world is never perfect, we should still try to make it the way we want it to be."
"Most... no, I should say all of them are infected. This land has never treated them kindly, but they are also human beings with their own dreams and things they want to do. However, because of their infected status, most of them cannot accomplish these things. So what I am doing now is just giving them a little hope to continue."
After Bai Mo finished speaking, Chen's eyes cleared up a little.
And speaking of infected people, isn't she one too? It's just that she hid it well and wasn't discovered by others.
"By the way, Officer Chen, do you know Rhodes Island?"
Suddenly, Bai Mo asked, which made Chen pause for a moment, but he still answered, "Rhodes Island? If I remember correctly, it's a pharmaceutical company."
"Yes, it's this so-called pharmaceutical company. There are ordinary people and infected people working there. They live together every day and are not only friends, but also more like family."
"And this unassuming pharmaceutical company also aims to create a better tomorrow, working for the benefit of all those infected across the land. Regardless of their strength, everyone there is fighting for it."
In the apocalypse, there is never a shortage of people with conviction. Like messengers of natural disasters, they are all doing something for the people on this land without expecting anything in return. What Bai Mo really wanted to tell Chen was that she was just one of these people. What she was doing now was to do her best to change something, rather than having any ulterior motives.
Chen did understand these points, nodded, and then commented on Rhodes Island, "A very great concept. I've heard of this company's potions before. In a sense, they have indeed achieved the results they wanted."
"Yes, so I think Officer Chen, you should also go to the island for treatment."
A sudden remark made Chen's eyes widen, and he immediately began to carefully observe his surroundings to see if anyone was there. Of course, this worry was unnecessary, since Bai Mo had quietly isolated the surrounding space while saying those words. After all, it was necessary to keep the fact that Chen was also an infected person a secret, otherwise it could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
"Don't worry, they can't hear our conversation."
Bai Mo waved his hand in acknowledgment, and Chen Ye took it as some kind of Originium Arts and was relieved.
"How did you know that?"
'I know everything.'
Bai Mo really wanted to say that, but in the end, she still started to play with the identity she had just made up. "Because I am a messenger of natural disasters, it is naturally easier for me to detect Originium than ordinary people. Although Officer Chen, you are hiding it very well, you still have a bit of the unique smell of an infected person, and the density of Originium in your body cannot lie."
This is a lie. The real messenger of natural disasters doesn't have this ability. All of this is just something Bai Mo made up.
After listening to Bai Mo's words, Chen decided to stay away from the Disaster Messenger. As for going to the island for treatment... that was possible, but not now, since the Guard Bureau still needed her to lead for a while.
"Go if you have time. Maybe Talulah will go to the island for treatment later."
Seeing Chen's hesitation, Bai Mo patted her shoulder and said calmly.
"I'll go after a while. But speaking of which, Miss Asura, are you an operator from Rhodes Island?"
After listening to Bai Mo's long explanation, Chen finally asked the question that mattered most to her. From the moment Bai Mo mentioned Rhodes Island until now, he spoke with such pride, as if he were praising his own child. It was hard for Chen not to have some ulterior motives.
If that's really the case, then the atmosphere on Rhodes Island is truly excellent, and the operators are all very great and dedicated.
"...What, do you think I'm some kind of HR guy running a pyramid scheme?"
Bai Mo covered her face, indicating that they couldn't continue the conversation. Back then, she was also an evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, a doctor from Rhodes Island! And now, she hadn't even been on the deck yet.
Chen nodded noncommittally in response.
"Don't get me wrong, I only know about Rhodes Island, and I've never had any direct contact with it. But this time, I do have a chance to go and take a look."
As he spoke, Bai Mo looked out the window, a slight smile playing on his lips.
