Maybe things will get better once you accept the facts...

Right?

Not long after, a train came from a distance. Talina got on the train according to the order, found her own exclusive little room, and began her own plan.

"Colombia? Why here?"

Taking out the map and finding the location of Tremon, Talina frowned.

She knew Colombia so well, and had suffered so much there, that she could not forget it even if she wanted to.

Forget it, let’s just go to Columbia. With Russell’s arrangements, it’s difficult for anything to go wrong.

Talina shook her head, no longer paying attention to what was happening in Colombia, and instead looked at the purpose of her trip.

"Rhine Life? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

The expression on her face became increasingly serious. Talina also put away her lazy mentality, took out her mobile phone and began to search for this so-called Rhine Life.

Rhine Life seemed to be a very active organization, and it didn't take Talina much effort to find their general information.

"A cutting-edge technology company, involved in a wide range of fields including clinical medicine, biotechnology, and equipment research and development...Biotechnology?"

On the extensive introduction interface, Talina locked onto these four words at a glance.

Without reading any further, Talina turned off her phone.

"I hope it's not what I imagined. It'd be better if it wasn't."

Talina's childhood experiences made her very sensitive to these things. The scope covered by these four words was so large and broad that she couldn't help but care about them.

The train was very fast and it entered Colombia in a few days. It took another morning to get from the Colombian border to his main city.

Tremont!

After getting off the car, Talina found the person responsible for picking up the car. After confirming her identity, she followed the person to a technology company called Rhine Life.

The distance was closer than she thought, and with the help of a means of transportation, she soon arrived in front of a building.

A man in a suit and tie was standing at the door of the building. He looked at his watch from time to time, as if checking the time.

When he saw Talina, the film man walked straight up to her and came in front of her.

"Ferdinand, Director of the Rhine Life Energy Department, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Talina...?"

With surprise in his eyes, Ferdinand looked down at the girl who was about the same age as his little daughter.

Is this what Russell said, his...partner this time?

Volume 4: Chapter 88: The hand of the figurine is broken!

"Um, hello, Mr. Ferdinand."

Looking up at this tall Filin man, Talina had the same doubts in her heart as Ferdinand.

Is this uncle who looks like a bodyguard or thug his guide?

If this is true, then Russell's preparations are a bit too much.

Fortunately, Ferdinand's timely self-introduction brought Talina back to reality.

"Come with me, Lady Talina. Standing outside will block others."

Leading Talina into the Rhine Life building, Ferdinand took her all the way to his office.

Along the way, Talina was observing the things around her, the rooms, and the staff in white coats. With Ferdinand's introduction, Talina had a general understanding of the structure of the building.

The first floor is where guests are received, which is the so-called reception center. The second floor and above are exclusive departments for storing experimental materials. The third floor is the office of the department heads. The fourth floor seems to be some kind of ecological room. As for the fifth floor, Talina did not go up, so Ferdinand did not introduce it.

Is it an outsider? Or is it because of something shameful?

Because of her childhood experiences, Talina has never had a good impression of these so-called scientific research organizations and has extreme malice towards them.

"Please take a seat. I need to check with my partner."

After entering the office, Ferdinand pointed to the chair on the other side, walked to his desk and called Russell.

He needed to confirm whether Russell had made a mistake.

While Ferdinand was on the phone, Talina was not idle either, but observed the office.

As the director of the Rhine Life Energy Department, Ferdinand's office is much larger, but even so, it seems extremely cramped with the addition of those bookshelves.

At the same time, there is a cabinet similar to a display cabinet in the corner of the room, which contains many...Gundam models?

The office looked more like an ordinary bedroom than its intended function; Talina even spotted a camp bed in a hidden corner.

"Okay, it seems I misunderstood something."

Talina didn't have to wait long before Ferdinand finished communicating with Russell and hung up the phone.

"I thought you were here to inspect the results, but you were here on vacation. It's really... nerve-wracking."

Rubbing his temples, Ferdinand felt a headache.

He got up early for today's meeting and even shaved his beard, just to show a good mental state in front of his partners.

Who knew that they were not there to urge me at all, but were here for vacation.

But that's also good, because it means I have more time to improve those things, so I can attract more investment.

But before that, we have to get rid of this little guy.

Looking at Talina, Ferdinand reached into his arms, took out a piece of paper with something written on it, and handed it to Talina.

"I've only heard a little about the Locke water tank. I don't know much. If you want to know more, I suggest you talk to my... um... colleague. She might know something."

"You said...Lorcan Tank!"

Hearing this familiar name, Talina's memory was suddenly awakened.

"You don't know? Didn't your mother tell you?"

Looking at Talina's reaction, Ferdinand was also confused.

Why are all the people in this family abnormal?

A mother who doesn't explain things clearly to her daughter, and a daughter who doesn't know what she wants to do, what's going on?

"No, I think I know what's going on. Thank you for your help. Where is your colleague?"

After a brief thought, Talina basically understood the twists and turns in the matter and also understood why Russell kept it from her.

"Turn right when you go out, take the elevator to the fourth floor, and go straight in. The doors there are rarely locked."

After pointing the way for Talina, Ferdinand handed her an ID card: "Keep it. With it, you can have your own lounge. As for the rest, my colleague will tell you."

After saying this, Ferdinand returned to his seat.

Knowing that the other party was seeing her off, Talina didn't have any other emotions and left Ferdinand's office directly. Now there was only one name in her mind.

Narcissa!

Colombia, someone who knows about the Rocken water tank. After connecting these clues together, Talina finally understood why Russell asked her to come here.

Most likely, he got some clues about Narcissa, so he deliberately gave himself the opportunity to search for her so that he could cheer himself up.

"Really? Why can't you just say it?"

With a complaint, Talina headed towards the route Ferdinand told her.

It has to be said that after learning that her old friend was still alive, Talina did cheer up a little and no longer looked as sick as before.

Although it wasn't enough to completely cheer her up, it was enough to cheer her up.

Taking the elevator to the third floor, Talina stopped in front of a large closed iron door.

After looking around and making sure there were no other entrances nearby, Talina walked forward and pressed a button that looked like a switch.

Click!

It seemed that the door had not been opened for a long time, so it was particularly difficult to open, and the sealing devices on both sides prevented it from shrinking.

Without much hesitation, Talina jumped in when the door opened to a width that was roughly enough for her.

Bang!

The iron gate seemed to have some kind of sensing mechanism. About five seconds after Talina entered, it stopped contracting and closed.

"Is this... some kind of primeval forest?"

Casting her gaze in front of her, Talina couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Surrounded by many plants, they take root in this modern product and grow wildly.

Trees, vines, green plants and even some flowers planted in pots blend together with the surrounding gleaming metallic walls, creating a strange sense of incongruity.

Seeing a scene like the Sargon rainforest in such a modern creation, Talina raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, fearing that she was hallucinating.

But the fresh air and the smell of soil around her told her that all this was true.

Fortunately, she was receptive and not completely shocked.

"Can all this really be seen in the city?"

Walking in the "rainforest", Talina couldn't help but reach out and touch the thick tree trunks beside her.

The tree trunk gave her a real touch, slowing down her pace.

"That is?"

While observing, Talina saw an awkward figure on a flower stand in the distance. It seemed to be... a person?

If there were palm-sized people.

It was a figurine-like creature, wearing green clothes, moving between the flower stands, and no one knew what it was busy with.

"Hello, is this the Ecology Department?"

Approaching, Talina stopped about half a meter away and asked.

The busy little figure on the flower stand stopped and turned to look at the "uninvited guest".

"So cute... Is this the latest technology?"

Because she was not far away, Talina could clearly see the specific appearance of this "figure".

The other person is wearing a green translucent coat, with long flaxen hair draped over his back. In detail, you can even see each hair moving with the movements of the figure.

"miu~"

The figurine let out a cute cry and waved to Talina from the flower stand.

"Sure enough, it's a robot or something like that?"

After hearing the reply from the figurine, Talina confirmed it in her heart and became more certain of her thoughts.

At the same time, Talina raised her right hand and reached towards the figurine on the flower stand.

If I just touch it, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

After all, it is a machine. Unless it gets soaked in water or destroyed by force, it is difficult to damage it, especially in a technology company like this.

Since the other party dares to release it, it means that they have sufficient confidence.

Convinced by her own reasoning, Tarina poked the figurine's face with her fingertips.

“Soft…”

The warm touch on her fingertips was different from the coldness that Talina had expected. It was a warmth that belonged only to humans.

"miu~"

After screaming again, the figurine grabbed Talina's fingers and rubbed its face on them. Talina was very happy to see its cute appearance.

"Hey! Will you respond?!"

In her joy, Talina extended her fingers to the arm of the figurine, ready to try the feeling in other places.

But because she was too happy, Talina subconsciously increased her strength a little bit, and it was this little bit of strength that made her stand there in a daze.

"Eh? Your hand... is broken?"

Talina's fingers passed through the arm of the figure, like a sharp knife, directly piercing through the arm of the figure.

The figure stopped cheering and looked down at its arm that had fallen on the flower stand and turned into a puddle of water, then looked up at Talina blankly.

"Miu!!!"
