This is one of her biggest advantages over Flash, I think...
A humanoid police officer, complete with tattoos...
After MCX moved away, Eleanor quickly sat down and lay down on Lovan's lap, mimicking Negev's posture.
It was only because of Negev's physique that Eleanor was able to lie down as well.
Your legs might be a little sore afterwards...
"Go to sleep, it's more comfortable to sleep like this than standing."
Luo Fan gently rubbed her face, smiling as if he were comforting a child who had been awakened by a nightmare.
"Ah."
This was the place she longed for, a place where birds could return to their nests; only here could her heart, filled with the carnage of slaughter, find peace.
Here, she can temporarily forget her unpleasant past and her already superb sickle skills, and sleep peacefully in the arms of her beloved, like a real girl.
Perhaps this is what she should have been like, what she should have been like as a human child before becoming Nieto...
455 Dinner Invitation
The girls were asleep, and now it was Luo Fan's turn to feel bad.
To be honest, this weight is a bit too much to handle. If it weren't for the reverse Kabbalah factor, Lovan's legs would probably have gone numb by now.
Now is the time to best demonstrate the strengthening of his muscles. Although the discomfort cannot be eliminated, even when being overwhelmed by Eleanor, Negev, and the Destroyer, Lovan can handle it with ease.
Ah, right, and the Destroyer too. This little guy is lucky that the system gave girls like those from Ironblood the ability to hide their exoskeletons and large weapons. Otherwise, with these things clinging to their bodies, it might not be as simple as just losing consciousness.
While making the girls more human-like, it also significantly reduced the impact of equipment on their mobility, killing two birds with one stone.
However, in conventional combat, they must be equipped with some light weapons; otherwise, it will just be a typical urban battle where the Saboteurs and Ouroboros pull out their grenade launchers and rocket launchers, which is a bit...
As for the architect, all I can say is that a mentally ill person combined with a ruthless thug carrying a rocket launcher is quite plausible.
While confirming the identities of these new friends who had just taken their seats, Lovan also spotted Dandrei.
So, is she now able to operate independently of M4? M4 is all the way in Colorado, how come Dandre is completely unaffected...?
Could this be another positive benefit brought about by the system?
However, as long as it doesn't affect her mobility, it's fine.
He was still relatively sober for a while, and took the opportunity to check his phone. Regardless of whether he could find anything useful, he felt uneasy if he didn't check it for a long time.
Aside from the trivial daily news, an online chat message was also sent to his account.
It's Se-na again. How did she find this social media account?
But for Luo Fan, it was no surprise that they could dig up any information about him. Luo Fan had tried to encrypt all his private information twice and to keep a record and reverse engineer it the next time he was added, but it was meaningless. They added him in the simplest way, which was far from what he had guessed and had no complexity whatsoever.
So, since they didn't harm me, that's fine. It's not like I didn't benefit from them. Trust is also a very important factor. Meng Huo was captured seven times but still knew to submit sincerely, so I don't need to fight to the bitter end. I'll just treat it as making friends.
"Yo~ Are you there? Are you there? (*°▽°*)╯"
The first thing they said was a greeting and an emoticon, sent half an hour ago.
Despite it being the middle of the night, Luo Fan decided to reply first.
"Yes, you're calling me in the middle of the night. Is there something new going on?"
He had planned to put his phone away after replying, but just as he was about to press the lock screen button, a brief vibration was felt in his palm.
......
"There's new information!"
She replied very quickly, as if she had been waiting for him on the other side of the screen.
He tapped the screen quickly, deciding to take this opportunity to continue the conversation. After all, Rosalia had already provided him with a lot of useful information last time, and maybe Shina could too.
But before that...
"By the way, aren't you a violinist? To ensure the quality of your performance and take care of your skin, why aren't you resting at this time?"
"It's just one night, it won't affect me at all. Besides, this isn't the first time I've stayed up all night, and neither have you. You're always doing things that can't be seen in public... No, it seems like these kinds of things are best done at times like this... I haven't disturbed your work, have I?"
puff......
Luo Fan couldn't help but laugh.
But soon, he glanced at the girls around him to make sure they weren't woken up by his movements.
"No, it's just that some friends have come over. Please speak freely, I'm here."
I almost forgot, she's quite a lively person, but that's only on the surface. In reality, she's probably a rather dangerous character, especially to those who aren't allies...
Luo Fan wasn't unaware of that aura; she only spoke kindly to her own people.
The other side also gave a reply: "There will be a banquet at the Alicia Theater tomorrow night, with food and drinks, and our orchestra will be performing. You've been flirting with a certain godfather lately, haven't you? This banquet is actually an exchange between these big families and oligarchs. If you come tomorrow, you might have some unexpected gains."
...She even knew that.
"Is that so? Why didn't the Godfather tell me?"
"Do you think everyone would chat with you at this hour like I do? He'll definitely tell you tomorrow; I'm just giving you a heads-up."
Shina continued, "He will definitely tell you the same thing, that you can come to this place to look for opportunities. After all, if you want to cooperate with him, he will support you in his own name. This can be considered as giving you a strong backer so that you have time to develop in peace."
After a moment's thought, Luo Fan asked again, "Is this dinner really necessary for us?"
"There is... The most important thing is that we're the orchestra performing at this banquet, and our conductor, Miss Nekiti, wants to meet you. She said..."
"it's time......"
......
Is that so? So this is the Negitia that Sena mentioned to her before, the blind conductor.
I had done some research beforehand. Although there are often conflicts and competition between large families, they all abide by an unwritten rule: they would never lay a hand on Alicia's Orchestra. In that case, their orchestra, including the conductor, must be quite prestigious.
PS: The Taiwan server translation is "Philharmonic Orchestra," I've changed it to the mainland China server translation: Alicia Orchestra.
If we can establish a good working relationship with them, it will likely bring significant positive feedback to our subsequent actions.
Therefore, it is indeed necessary to go...
"Understood. What time tomorrow night?"
"At 9:30 pm, I will personally take you in. You are our VIP... Oh, and remember what I said before, prepare an empty room in your bar."
......
So, the plan is still to bring in a lady who plays a pivotal role in the entire upper class?
"decide as things go."
"What do you mean 'depending on the situation'? You definitely need to be prepared!"
After all, everyone has very high expectations of you...
In the dimly lit theater, the girl standing under the lights whispered these words.
Below her stage was a completely obscured shadow, from which only a few patches of scarlet blood slowly seeped out...
456 is about to depart.
These kinds of dinners usually don't last very long, especially with a symphony orchestra performance in the background; they probably won't be back until midnight.
To ensure he would have enough energy to deal with the smiling faces of these old men, Luo Fan took half a sleeping pill and went to bed early after his conversation with Shi Na.
He should have gone to bed early today, but various things delayed his rest time. This is just right, he can wake up tomorrow night, eat something quickly, and then set off.
Since Se-na wanted to have a special meeting with him and even emphasized that food and drinks would be provided, all he needed to do was arrive on time.
After clarifying the arrangements for tomorrow, Luo Fan fell into a deep sleep under the influence of sleeping pills.
......
Luo Fan woke up at eight o'clock the next evening, later than expected.
Most of the girls had already woken up, but surprisingly, they stayed by his side and did not leave.
"You slept very well, Commander."
The disruptor, who had somehow crouched down on the sofa behind him, revealed a gentle smile that matched his memory, offering Luo Fan his sincerest greeting with this gesture.
Through his blurry vision, he smiled instinctively: "Yeah, it's pretty good."
Negev was still sitting on her lap, staring blankly at the constantly changing television screen. When she noticed the movement behind her, she finally regained a bit of her energy.
"Commander, you're awake?"
"Ah."
If he doesn't wake up soon, it will be a real problem...
But also subconsciously, Luo Fan shifted his legs to make sure that his lower body, which had been pressed down by the two humanoid figures for most of the day, had not lost sensation.
Thankfully, it can still move...
It was a rare treat to sit in the living room with the girls and watch TV together like this again. Although the roles were different each time, the feeling it gave Luo Fan was the same.
It is that widely circulated feeling known as "home".
"Commander." On the other sofa, IWS nodded slightly to Luo Fan: "How have you been lately?"
Of course: "It's great. It's much more peaceful here than where you are. The missions are also less difficult. Most of the time there are no serious risks, and the enemy's overall capabilities are within your easy range to handle."
Just as Luo Fan often said, even without murder or robbery, it's quite easy for the girls to make money peacefully and steadily with their skills.
"Yes, I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to come here and be with all of you commanders!"
IWS raised her fist, and her smile alone showed how happy she was.
It seems that during their rest period, they have gained a basic understanding of the current environment.
The mere fact that they don't have to be on edge every day and go out to fight is enough to make them happy, not to mention that they can enjoy their lives like normal people.
What was perfectly normal for Luo Fan was an immense blessing to them.
They might thank Luo Fan for this, but he knew very well that it was all thanks to this tablet, and even if the reverse Kabbalah factor brought him side effects, he wouldn't have too many complaints.
After all, without this tablet, he wouldn't be where he is today, and that fact will never change.
Just as Luo Fan was about to continue showing concern for the girls, the arrival of M16 made them silently return to their normal selves.
???
Has someone angered 16 Pigeons?
"commander."
M16 deep voice.
Not yet aware of the current situation, Luo Fan nodded, signaling M16 to continue.
"Godfather Williams just called, hoping we'll attend a dinner party..."
"Oh, I already know. Go and get ready, we'll be leaving soon."
Luo Fan waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to continue. Although he had doubts about how Luo Fan knew about this situation, M16 could only choose to believe him.
At least, the commander's demeanor, as if he had been prepared for this all along, didn't seem fake...
“Tell Williams not to pick us up, we’ll go ourselves.”
Luo Fan slowly removed the Negev from his body, then prepared to return to his room to change.
This puzzled M16 even more: "Why don't we need Williams to introduce us?"
"No need, we have much stronger channels than him..."
The purpose of Lovan's trip was not to have Williams take him and that group of old Beaton to waste time meeting the conductor; that was the most important thing.
The Alicia Theater belongs to Shina and her band. With her personally guiding them, it's naturally much simpler than Williams' experience.
"IWS, Eleanor, Lightning, Hunter, you guys go and get ready. The rest of you can stay home, eat and drink, do whatever you want."
Those who went to Williams' mansion last time were required to participate, and the reason for having the four of them come along was to make a good impression, especially since Flash was more suited to handling this kind of occasion than herself.
After all, it's a banquet, and as a newly established family, we must first establish a strong presence...
I carefully pushed open the door. As expected, Yingque was still asleep, but the flush on her face had faded considerably, and her disordered breathing had calmed down.
Luo Fan understood that the medicine was working.
