We are from the future ark

Even though she was not her own flesh and blood, or even her "sister's" flesh and blood, and had no blood relationship with her, he still called her aunt.

Just this one name was enough to make Tallulah cherish everything about him.

People who once had family affection but lost it repeatedly will be disappointed with family affection, but have they ever not longed for it?

And when she really meets a family member who will not betray her, anyone who dares to touch this beautiful person will be killed by Tallulah.

Unfortunately, however, Tallulah's identity forced her to let go. In order to allow the boy to grow up safely, she had to reluctantly give up and pass on everything she had to Rhodes Island.

Only there can Chen Qi be truly safe. After all, there are dangers everywhere around her.

It has been five years since I left.

Now, in this time and space, Tallulah finally saw the person she had been thinking about day and night again. It had been a long time since she last saw him. This young man, whom she had not seen for five years, had grown to a point where she could not help but look at him with admiration.

The scenes that happened five years ago seem to have happened just yesterday, as if everything had changed overnight.

The extremely brief tenderness, in this small dark room, time passed by little by little...

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 42: The Truth of Everything, Tallulah's Gift

"Five years ago, I remember you were still very short. Now, you are taller than your aunt."

Tallulah looked at the handsome boy in front of her, her eyes sparkling with crystal-clear light. The child who had been inseparable from her for six years had now been away from her for five years. He had grown up so much that she hardly recognized him.

She still remembered the days when the child practiced his immature swordsmanship under her and mastered Chi Xiao. Unknowingly, so much time had passed...

"I'm 183, Aunt Tallulah."

Chen Qi couldn't help but be a little amused when he heard this. These five years were the time when Chen Qi grew up physically. He also grew taller year by year under the watchful eye of Sister Amiya.

I heard from sister Amiya that one year he grew very fast, growing eleven centimeters in one year... But I'm getting off topic.

"Aunt Tallulah, are you the one who changed Tallulah into who she is now?"

"That's right." Tallulah admitted it openly. Her face seemed to be no different from the current Tallulah. Only by observing confidently could one discover the slight difference in their temperaments.

The current Tallulah obviously has more of the aura of a superior and is more decisive, whereas Aunt Tallulah seems a little gentler and not so unapproachable.

Although it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, as Tallulah's closest person, Chen Qi can recognize the difference between the two at a glance.

"Just as you thought, I activated your time-space shuttle device in advance. Through some means, I know how these things work, so I came to this world in advance."

"I know all this." Chen Qi slowly left Tallulah's arms, walked a few steps to the side, looked at the pile of books and food left here, turned his back and said slowly:

"But I didn't expect that Aunt Tallulah, you haven't given up your ambition yet. Do you still want to revive the Reunion Movement and use violence to rescue the infected?"

"...If I say that it's not me who thinks this way, Chen Qi, will you believe me?" Upon hearing this, Tallulah couldn't help but smile bitterly and said with a somewhat lonely look in her eyes.

After all, when she said this, she was a little doubtful of herself.

"……I believe."

However, contrary to Tallulah's expectations, Chen Qi nodded after thinking for a while and chose to trust.

"Aunt Tallulah, you have never lied to me, so I believe you." Chen Qi seemed to notice Tallulah's gaze, and after a moment of contemplation, he said this.

Tallulah was the only person who had never lied to Chen Qi from beginning to end - no, it should be said that Tallulah was the only person Chen Qi knew who did not brag.

She did what she said, and that was enough for Chen Qi.

Such a character naturally influenced Chen Qi to some extent. Therefore, Chen Qi had no record of bragging. This was also the reason why Ifrit could forgive him every time he took risks and managed to escape danger.

As a fellow insecure person, there is nothing better than having a comrade-in-arms who can do what he says.

"Thank you."

Tallulah was slightly stunned, then said with a look of relief, thinking that she had not raised this boy for seven years in vain.

"So, what's going on?"

"...Originally, I set the timeline at a time some distance in the past, when the Reunion Movement was still leaderless."

"At that time, I changed everything about what is now Tallulah. I nipped everything in the bud before it happened."

As if she was thinking of some good memories, Tallulah said this with a slight smile on her lips. Seeing this, Chen Qi didn't say much. After all, he also felt a similar joy.

Although it was not as strong as Aunt Tallulah's, and some people were not as familiar to him, he still felt some joy in his heart after meeting all the living people.

"That means Kosice also..."

“—I killed him the moment he invaded Tallulah’s body.”

Tallulah spoke calmly. Now when the name was mentioned, she no longer had any violent reaction.

That's right, who would have such a violent reaction to a person who had died in their hands? Chen Qi still knew some inside information, so he was not surprised that the old black snake Koschei had such an end.

But, if that's the case, why did Tallulah come to the Reunion?

"But what I didn't expect was the change in Tallulah's mentality now."

As Tallulah said this, she recalled the scene at the beginning and said calmly:

"She seems to have realized that her power is not enough to protect the people around her. She wants to gain more power and change the status of the infected."

"She felt that no matter how strong her own personal power was, she could not resist the tide, and the status of the infected being persecuted remained unchanged."

"——Therefore, at the moment when I killed Koschei, she actually took the initiative to absorb the power from Koschei's wreckage!"

Tallulah's words startled Chen Qi. He never thought that Aunt Tallulah's perfect plan would be ruined because of such a slight thought.

Actively absorbing Kosice's power... the consequences of this...

"——Is she still being controlled by Kosice?"

"No, her mind is not affected by Kosice." Tallulah shook her head, and her frown also showed how difficult she felt the matter was:

"She completely suppressed Koschei's last thoughts and absorbed almost all of the power from Koschei's scattered debris. After reducing Koschei's thoughts to almost nothing, she obtained all of Koschei's remaining power."

“It is no exaggeration to say that the current Tallulah is probably much stronger than the one controlled by Kochiche back then.”

At the beginning, Tallulah had some misunderstanding about her original body because of Kocice's thoughts. But now, her body and thoughts are all Tallulah herself, and they are 100% compatible. Tallulah, who has absorbed all of Kocice's power, is absolutely not comparable to Kocice's control.

What's more terrifying is that Tallulah knows what she is doing now. It's not forced, but voluntary. She acts completely according to her own will, so the intensity and force of her attack are all under her control!

Without a trace of discomfort, completely intact, this kind of Tallulah is more terrifying than anyone imagined.

"What the Reunion Movement is doing now is entirely based on the will of the current Tallulah. This is still the case even if I reveal my identity and tell her about my future failure."

As Tallulah said this, her expression was a little gloomy. She never expected that the plan that she thought was foolproof would fail because of the sense of crisis of Tallulah in this world.

Everything that should have happened seemed to have still happened, and nothing had changed except that some important people survived.

“Knowing that you will fail, do you still want to give it a try?”

Chen Qi was slightly stunned, but then he showed a strange smile and said with a smile:

"How should I put it? It's like Aunt Tallulah's personality. She knows she can't win, but she still refuses to admit defeat."

"Good boy, you actually made up a story about your aunt?"

Upon hearing this, Tallulah was amused and subconsciously wanted to come forward and pull Chen Qi's ears, but Chen Qi was quick and dodged it in a flash.

"So, Aunt Tallulah, what are you going to do?" Chen Qi didn't dare to laugh anymore and immediately turned serious and said:

"The current situation is that my aunt in this world has already decided to go all out. Even if you and I are combined, we may not be able to defeat Tallulah, right?"

Chen Qi really didn't know how strong Tallulah was before. But he knew how powerful Aunt Tallulah in front of him was. It was no exaggeration to say that it was too easy for her to pull him up and beat him up with half her body.

Even Aunt Tallulah admitted that she could not compare to the current Tallulah. In the face of absolute strength, they seemed to have no good solution.

"She doesn't necessarily need to be defeated."

However, Tallulah chuckled when she heard this, looked directly into Chen Qi's eyes, and smiled faintly:

"Because the person who changed this deadlock is you, little Chen Qi."

"Have you forgotten how you will fight for power for the infected in the future and how you will improve their status?"

“…As expected of Aunt Tallulah.”

Chen Qi nodded when he heard this. Obviously, he already had his own way to break the deadlock on this continent.

However, the most urgent task is to find a way to escape from Qie City.

"I can't help you now. Tallulah has sealed off most of my current powers and put me under house arrest. Although she won't hurt me, she won't let me go either."

When talking about this, Tallulah's expression was a little depressed. She blocked her own power. What was going on?

"But I helped you protect the best things."

"…the best thing?"

Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard that, but then he saw Tallulah move slightly, and like a magic trick, a long sword appeared in front of Chen Qi.

The entire long sword was dark red in color. It was wider and longer than an ordinary sword, but smaller than a broadsword. It seemed to be stained with countless blood, and emitted a dim and strange light.

"——Chixiao." Chen Qi gently called out the name of the sword, but did not rush to take it.

"Take it, little Chen Qi."

Tallulah seemed to know what Chen Qi was thinking. She also knew that Chen Qi gave her the Chixiao just to get rid of this last restraint.

Chen Qi no longer wanted to be bound by the past, but it seemed that the more he ran away from something, the more the past wanted to catch up with him.

"You want to put an end to all this, right?"

"..."

Chen Qi did not answer, but after a moment of contemplation, he slowly stretched out his hands.

The moment he held Chi Xiao, the familiar touch came again, and then it seemed as if he was sensing it.

Chi Xiao's sword, which was emitting a dim red light, suddenly flashed.

A rhythm like flowing blood, as if responding, began to flow again...

Chapter 43: The Integration Movement's Infiltration Plan (Please vote)

The next day after coming out of the secret room, Chen Qi returned to his room. Although he was still a little worried about Aunt Tallulah's current condition, with his ability, it would be difficult for him to escape from the heavily guarded city, let alone take Aunt Tallulah with him.

It would be fine if Aunt Tallulah still had her strength, but now, most of Aunt Tallulah's strength has been sealed, and the strength she can exert is very little. This also forced Chen Qi to give up the idea of ​​rescuing Aunt Tallulah and going out together.

Chen Qi slept lightly in the room for a while, but not long after, his door was knocked again.

"Da da da."

"...Who?" Chen Qi asked calmly, but Hong had already disappeared into the shadows without any flaws.

However, before the other party could reply, a shadow flashed by, and the next second, a red-haired figure wearing a black leather jacket and jeans appeared in the room.

A regicide.

"... Shuangxing said that you've been overworked and lacking energy recently. I didn't take it seriously at first, but I didn't expect you to be able to sleep all night until now."

The King Slayer said this, paused for a moment, and then spoke a little unnaturally:

"If you really feel tired, you can tell us. We in the Integration Movement are different from those people in Rhodes Island. We will not force someone who can't support the work to work."

“——Tallulah asked me to convey it.” The Kingslayer seemed to feel a little embarrassed and added this at the end.

"Tallulah? Did you go to see Aunt Tallulah?" However, Chen Qi did not pay attention to the words of the King Slayer. Instead, he showed curiosity about the last sentence.

People's subconscious mind always reveals some information, and the subconscious words of the regicide were keenly captured by Chen Qi.

"Yes." The King Slayer nodded and admitted it openly without any intention of hiding anything.

"That's why I came here. This morning, the leader called a meeting of us senior cadres to discuss the matter of infiltrating Longmen. Because you were absent, we waited for you for fifteen minutes."

"...Sneak into Longmen?"

Although he had expected this, Chen Qi was still a little surprised to hear the King Slayer say it in person. Did the Integration Movement really set its sights on Longmen?

Indeed, compared with other mobile cities, the combat effectiveness of Longmen's Guard Bureau is not that good. Other forces have basically already become dependent on major powers, but Longmen is the only one. Even though many countries have extended olive branches to it, it has always maintained an attitude of playing both sides.

But even so, Chen Qi also knew that although Longmen seemed neutral on the surface, in fact, it had already had a certain degree of transactions with the big country behind the scenes. Once Longmen fell into crisis, the power of this big country in Longmen would definitely choose to take action.

Others may not know, but Chen Qi, who once made deals with this big country, knows that this big country usually keeps a low profile and seems to be in great danger, but if it starts to take action, the Terra continent will really shake.

I'm afraid even Ursus will have to temporarily avoid the limelight.
