The moment Talina turned around, two red lights flashed in the distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Did you meet something dirty?"
Rubbing her eyes in disbelief and confirming that the corridor was empty, Talina quickened her pace.
Even after passing the manufacturing station and the trading station, the sense of threat behind him did not lessen. Not only that, it even gradually intensified.
Talina also gradually changed from a brisk walk at the beginning to a jog. When she looked back from time to time, she could vaguely see a white shadow chasing her footsteps.
"No one told me about this before I came here!"
Her heart was beating rapidly, and as the sky gradually darkened, Talina's speed reached its peak.
The sensor lights in the corridor also flashed rhythmically with Talina's footsteps. The flickering environment made Talina unable to help but reach out and hold the blood bottle at her waist.
I don't know if it's useful against ghosts, but it's still a bit of strength...
"Ugh!"
While she was thinking, Talina suddenly bumped into a wall and was forced to stop.
The tip of her nose was hit and it was burning with pain. Talina sat on the ground and covered her nose.
"Feel sorry."
A familiar voice sounded, and a calloused arm stretched out in front of Talina.
"Although I thought it looked similar before, I didn't expect it to be you..."
Before Talina could say anything, the owner of the arm spoke first, speaking fluent Casimirese, which stunned Talina for a moment.
This was the first time she had heard someone speak Casimir's language since arriving at Longmen, and...where else did she seem to have heard this voice before?
Looking up in confusion, Talina saw a hint of gold and a familiar face.
"Long time no see, Miss Talina."
With a bright smile, Lin Guang pulled Talina up from the ground.
"Margaret? Why are you here? Aren't you..."
Looking Margaret up and down, Talina seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Didn’t she remember Maria saying that her sister had gone out?
How did he end up at Longmen, thousands of miles away from Casimir? And in such a… miserable state?
Talina looked at the culprit who had hit her nose red, the tattered armor on Margaret's body.
Although it is kept very clean, it can still be seen that the lifespan of this set of armor is not long and it may collapse in the next moment.
The Linguang family is just in decline, not bankrupt. It's not that they can't even put together a decent set of armor, right?
Not to mention the distant future, it is also possible to exploit Maria. The set of chain armor made by the other party is still displayed in Talina's closet!
"Well...it's a long story..."
Scratching her head, Margaret's smile widened. There was nothing happier than meeting an acquaintance in a strange place.
Thinking of this, Margaret made way, stretched out her right arm, and guided Talina.
"Are you busy now? If not, come in and sit down. I also have something I want to say thank you to."
Volume 5: Chapter 82: Reuniting with an Old Friend
"Join Rhodes Island? What does that mean?"
Walking into Margaret's room, Talina questioned the meaning of her words.
Does Casimir's presence...also require help from others?
and...
"Does uncle know about this?"
After finding a place to sit in the house, Talina looked at Margaret who was busy making tea on the other side and asked in a low voice.
She knew Mainna's temper very well. After all, she had been a guest at her home so many times, and Talina had some understanding of this taciturn elder.
Although Mainna looks indifferent on the surface, she is actually quite caring towards these younger generations, as can be seen from the incident with Zofia.
If you don't care, why take the risk to contact Tolan and his gang?
But seeing how miserable Margaret was now...Talina was unsure again.
"He... I don't know. I've been expelled from Casimir and have lost contact with them for a long time."
Putting the brewed black tea in front of Talina, Margaret said calmly the words that made Talina explode.
"Expel?! Who dares?!"
Putting down the teacup she had just picked up, Talina looked at Margaret in disbelief.
Expel? Come to the light? These two words seemed completely unrelated to Talina. How on earth did they come together?
No, I have to call back and let Russell know if he knows about this.
Taking out her cell phone, Tarina prepared to dial Russell's number.
She had a close relationship with Cyril, the old patriarch of the Linguang family, so it was impossible for her not to know the news. Given her personality, even if Margaret made a huge mistake, Russell would be able to keep it secret from her.
But now Margaret has appeared in Longmen, this is not normal...
"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Raising her hand to push Talina down, Margaret pushed the teacup that Talina had just put down in front of her: "This is what happened..."
Half an hour passed quickly, and as she drank the tea, Talina gradually understood why Margaret was "expelled".
It was nothing more than some despicable guys taking advantage of the situation, perhaps because of the old grudges with Mainna, or perhaps because they didn't want to see the Linguang family rise again, so they attacked the lone Margaret in the knight competition arena.
In order to save the family title that was about to be taken away, Margaret stood up and used the hammer and shield in her hands to destroy the ensuing conspiracies.
Margaret rejected those who offered "help" to her, simply thinking that as long as she won the championship, she could keep Lin Guang in Casimir.
But she underestimated the means of those despicable people and overestimated her own abilities. The Chamber of Commerce pulled her off the championship stage with just a certificate of infection.
After that, Margaret, who became an "infected person", was forced to leave Casimir and pursue her own path aimlessly.
Until she met two companions and came to Rhodes Island.
“These guys…”
After listening to Margaret's narration, Talina frowned.
Although the rise of the Chamber of Commerce was a foregone conclusion in Casimir, she had not expected it to rise so quickly, and she had not expected them to be able to do it behind the back of the Supervisory Commission.
Is this...covering the sky with one hand?
Why didn’t they show up when we fought Ursus and it became a battle to defend the capital?
It has been peaceful for too long. Do you think you can completely exclude the warring knights?
"I won't go into the details of the process, but anyway, I'm working for Rhodes Island now, and it seems pretty good here."
Margaret called back Talina and smiled at her: "How about you? I haven't seen you for so many years, you've changed a lot."
"You seemed to be this tall before."
Margaret's clumsy look as she gestured with her hands left Talina speechless.
I'm afraid only Margaret could use this clumsy method of diverting attention. Also, is he treating her like a child by making these gestures?
"So, you've lost contact with Maria and the others for a long time?"
Not paying attention to Margaret's poor acting skills, Talina looked at her and asked seriously.
"Ah... I think it's been a few years. Probably around the same time you left."
Margaret was not annoyed at being ignored. She sat upright in her seat and answered Talina's questions.
"Do you want to contact them now? I have their contact information in my phone. If you need it, I can lend it to you temporarily."
Shaking the phone in her hand, Talina clicked on Maria's profile picture: "Maria talks to me every day."
Handing the phone to Margaret, Talina picked up the tea on the side and took a sip.
Maria and her talk almost every day. This girl has very few friends in Casimir, basically only Talina, so there is nothing to do every day except chatting with her.
If Margaret is willing, Talina doesn't mind giving her this time. I guess Maria is also looking forward to talking to her sister, right?
Seeing the familiar profile picture, Margaret's hand trembled twice, and she reached out and stopped, and finally did not take Talina's phone.
Seeing Talina's puzzled look, Margaret explained, "It's better to report good news than bad news. Wouldn't it be better to contact them when you have some free time?"
"All right..."
Although she was skeptical of Margaret's statement, Talina put her phone away.
The situation of Lin Guang's family is a bit complicated, and it is not easy for her to intervene, so she can only watch silently.
She was just Maria's friend. If she rashly intervened in such matters, it would seem like she was meddling in other people's business.
Although she did not accept Talina's proposal, Margaret still got Maria's contact information from Talina, which was a disguised acceptance.
The two chatted about some random things, and Talina also learned some things about Rhodes Island from Margaret.
"We meet again, Miss Talina."
Just as the two were chatting happily, a soft voice suddenly interrupted them, attracting Talina's attention.
"Liz? What are you..."
Talina looked back at the sound and saw Liz, with whom she had spent some time during the day.
"I was a little surprised when I heard your name from Liz's mouth during the day. By the way, this is the second time you've bumped into me today."
Raising her hand and tapping her armor, Margaret smiled.
"Is that so?"
Touching her forehead, Talina felt a little embarrassed.
"Please allow me to thank you again, Miss Talina..."
Liz, sitting in a wheelchair, nodded to Talina to express her gratitude.
After looking at Margaret and then at Liz, Talina had already guessed the identity of the partner Margaret was talking about.
Sure enough, shortly after Liz came out, a strange figure in a black robe named Shining also appeared in front of Talina.
But compared to the talkative Margaret, Shining was much quieter. She just sat quietly beside Liz, providing her with support, and had no intention of joining in the conversation.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Talina looked up at the time and prepared to say goodbye to Margaret and Liz.
Declining Margaret's offer to see her off, Talina walked out of their dormitory alone.
Rhodes Island at night is much more lively than in the afternoon.
The brightly lit corridors and the Rhodes Island operators who occasionally passed by Talina made her feel at ease and gradually forgot the little episode in the afternoon.
Following the route past the Human Resources Department and the Processing Center, Talina arrived on the deck. As long as she completed this journey, she would be able to leave Rhodes Island and return to the city that never sleeps, called Lungmen.
But... things went against her wishes. When Talina was about to leave the deck, a pair of frighteningly white hands climbed onto her shoulders, keeping her there at the last moment.
At the same time, a faint, resentful voice floated past Talina's ears, and along with a chilling chill, it seeped into her bones.
"I got you, delicious kid~ slurp~"
Volume 5: Chapter 83: Old witch, you are taking revenge for your personal gain, right?
There was no panic, no shouting. The moment she realized there was someone behind her, Talina only did one thing.
That is to put the blood bottle on his waist into his mouth.
In an instant, a ball of sparks erupted on the deck, and the heat wave swept through, igniting all the wooden boxes and other things stacked on the deck. Even the metal deck was almost melted by Talina's flames.
The energy core in Draco's chest was shining with unprecedented light, and the temperature of Talina's body was frighteningly high, like a little sun.
Without any hesitation, after indiscriminately releasing a wave of small-scale attacks, Talina tiptoed back quickly.
"Hey! Wait! You...ah...it's so hot!"
Before Talina could stand firmly, the resentful voice suddenly sounded, but the resentment turned into fear and the tone became flustered.
"Not a ghost?"
It was not until she heard the screams that Talina realized she seemed to have misunderstood something.
