Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 203

But Rosalia is definitely not his child, and he is definitely not a parent. However, if he had to describe this feeling, Lovan thought this might be the most appropriate way.

When asked the same question, Rosalia shook her head again in denial: "Of course I don't know you. The last time we met was only the first time. It's just that I met you by some 'coincidence,' while you don't know me."

However, when she answered, Rosalia's raised eyebrows had somehow returned to normal, and her disdainful smile had faded somewhat compared to when she first stepped into the bar.

Only Barrett noticed this subtle change. What had caused this change in her expression? Was it the commander's reaction, or simply that Miss Rosalia was experiencing some kind of displeasure?

Luo Fan, however, had no time to concern himself with such details. More pressing than the other person's reaction was a severe migraine that had struck him from nowhere...

"hiss......"

He gasped, then felt a splitting headache; it happened suddenly, without warning or warning.

Luo Fan didn't think he had any physical problems. The Blood Web had already strengthened his body to a certain extent, so he shouldn't be prone to such minor ailments, right?

Although he had drunk a few glasses of wine, it wasn't enough to knock him out. He knew his own limits when it came to alcohol.

PS: They took me to get a nucleic acid test.

268 Liquid

If it's not a physical problem, then what could it be?

Both women present noticed the changes in Luo Fan's body. He went from being composed and chatting at the beginning to now covering his forehead with a troubled expression, as if someone had cast a spell on him. He seemed to be thinking, but his face was ashen.

"Commander, you don't look well...would you like to rest for a while?"

Barrett reached out to check Lofan's temperature, but the other gently pushed his hand away.

"I'm fine, and please don't call me that in front of outsiders."

Luo Fan said this, merely showing signs of being somewhat tired and unwell, but his expression made it impossible for him to simply brush it off.

Even with her worries, the pink-haired girl had no choice but to give up and instead focus on Rosalia's condition.

Her complexion wasn't good either, seemingly due to Luo Fan's condition, but why was she like that...?

Rosalia's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, seemingly about to form a V-shape. She leaned closer to Lovan at the bar, appearing to be muttering something to herself...

"Tsk, they can't be here so soon, can they...?"

The volume was extremely low, but Barrett, being a tactical android, could hear it well, yet still couldn't understand what the other person meant.

What's coming? Rosalia knows the reason for the Commander's deteriorating condition.

She put her hand into her coat pocket, seemingly groping for something...

The commander's state, Rosalia's enigmatic words and actions—the dual pressure made Barrett tense. She hesitated, wondering what the other was exploring, whether it would threaten the commander, and whether she should stop the other's actions.

She secretly moved one hand forward a few centimeters. If the thing she pulled out was suspicious, she was confident she could stop the other person's actions even faster.

Rosalia's composure had vanished; her fumbling movements and expressions grew increasingly anxious, and she seemed genuinely worried about Lovan's condition.

"Emmm... Ah, here it is."

After a pause, Rosalia took out a bottle about seven centimeters tall from her pocket. It contained a lot of clear liquid, crystal clear, with no impurities visible.

Barrett was stunned; she hadn't expected that what the other person had pulled out wasn't a pistol or a knife.

"what is this?"

Out of a sense of vigilance, she asked instinctively.

But Rosalia ignored Barrett's gaze, unscrewed the cap, and pushed the bottle in front of Lovan.

The sound of friction and the sudden outstretched hand drew Luo Fan's attention. When he looked up, he saw Rosalia's face devoid of a smile and the bottle of liquid.

"what is this?"

He had the same question.

But Rosalia just pushed the bottle a couple more times: "Just drink it, it'll do you good for you."

"What exactly is this? You know, bartenders, like gourmets, can't just eat anything; they have to keep their sense of taste sharp."

Luo Fan tried to brush it off with a polite and witty excuse, but it didn't work.

"I'll tell you later, but if you want to alleviate your current condition, this is the only thing you can do."

"How do I know if there's anything wrong with this stuff? Maybe I'm allergic to it?"

"Won't you know if there's a problem once you drink it?"

"You test for toxicity by drinking it?"

"Tsk, maybe I really can..."

Then, Rosalia quickly brought the bottle to her lips, and before the two people present could react, she took a small sip and swallowed hard to show that she wasn't just drinking without swallowing.

"See, are you alright?"

Rosalia handed the bottle back to Lovan, her smile softening slightly.

Luo Fan did not answer the other party this time, as he still had some doubts.

I took the bottle, turned it around, but found no clues...

After thinking it over, Luo Fan still reached out his hand to the other person: "Let's seal it first, I'll drink it later..."

Luo Fan's tone was even weaker than before, but he still tried his best to appear calm.

Rosalia was losing some of her patience: "Drink it now, if you don't want to die..."

"!"

Barrett's leg trembled and arched, as if he was about to pin Rosalia to the ground.

"……What do you mean?"

Luo Fan's expression turned extremely cold. He didn't like hearing death threats from other people, especially in this peaceful environment.

"You can drink it, it's really for your own good."

……

"Then, I'll give it a try..."

There's no point in continuing this stalemate; the other party isn't leaving any room for negotiation, and my headache won't be relieved anytime soon. Maybe I should really give it a try.

Luo Fan examined the liquid in the bottle again, imagining it as a bottle of Sprite without bubbles.

"..."

I sniffed it twice and it had a strange smell, but everything else seemed normal.

Barrett wanted to offer to try it first, but then remembered that he was just a tactical doll...

The helpless girl stared intently at the man with a worried expression, praying that there was nothing wrong with the thing.

Lofan didn't believe he had any enemies in this world. He and the girls had completely erased their travel itinerary to New York, and the surveillance footage had been altered, making it impossible for Umbrella to find them.

Moreover, if Rosalia wanted to kill him, she would have had many opportunities back in the mall; there was no need to wait until now, was there?

These were the reasons Luo Fan used to comfort himself and make himself feel at ease drinking it, but the fear still lingered.

Determined to make a clean break, Luo Fan drank the entire bottle of liquid down his throat.

"How's it going, Commander? Does something feel off?"

Barrett stood up excitedly, fearing that the commander might suddenly convulse and then lie down.

Luo Fan savored the taste, and the sensation that followed made him shake his head.

"The taste is a bit strange, but I don't feel anything for now..."

It seemed to be just some liquid with a slightly strange taste. The splitting headache hadn't eased at all, and all Luo Fan wanted to do now was lie in bed.

But Rosalia suddenly said, "You'll need to be patient for a moment, just a moment."

"Hmm, what do you mean, 'bear with it'?"

Another incomprehensible statement left Lofan and Barrett bewildered once again.

"Endure what? I didn't feel anything... Ugh! Ugh..."

A strong feeling of nausea welled up in my throat, followed by an even stronger pain.

"Ugh...uh...cough cough!"

"Damn it, what did you put in that liquid?!"

Barrett sprang into action, grabbing Rosalia by the neck and slamming her against the bar.

P.S.: I only got Kiev in Azur Lane last night. I was way too slow; I had already gotten two rainbow tiles before I finally got Kiev.

269 Question

The process of subduing her went smoothly. Barrett encountered no resistance, and Rosalia was pinned to the bar and unable to move, seemingly without any possibility of struggling.

"What did you do to him?!"

With each roar, she unconsciously increased the force in her hand, but she still tried her best to control herself from strangling the other person's delicate throat.

With just a little more force, Rosalia might be killed on the spot...

Perhaps describing Barrett's current state as that of a raging beast is most fitting. Her once gentle features are now taut, her teeth clenched, as if she is filled with overwhelming malice. It seems that even tearing this girl apart would not quell her anger. Perhaps only by having Barrett desecrate her soul can she relax.

She had no desires, except for Luo Fan, who was her Achilles' heel. And now, this Achilles' heel was not only touched, but even torn apart!

But Rosalia, the perpetrator, looked at the girl who was choking her with a cold expression, indifferent, nonchalant, but more like... contempt?

Barrett was even more furious at this nonchalant attitude. He knew that only by instilling fear in the other party could he conduct a better interrogation. But if the other party was not afraid of death from the beginning, or was fearless because they had a way to escape their current predicament, then things would become very troublesome.

Rosalia shrugged. "I told you, he needs to be patient."

"So this is what you call 'endurance'?! He...!"

Barrett could hardly describe Luo Fan's current state. Unable to stand, he was retching violently, his face was ashen, and his fingers were in a state of frantic spasm. It was clear that he was unconscious.

"Ugh! Ugh... Huff... Huff..."

With heavy breathing and a loss of balance, Luo Fan crashed into the wine cabinet behind him. Although it wasn't a separate cabinet, several bottles of wine still fell to the ground and shattered upon impact.

Luo Fan was like a hungry wolf whose eyes were injured by the struggle of its prey during the hunt, and he vented his pain aimlessly.

He had tried his best to hold back, but the pain was too intense; it was not something that could be resolved by simply sobbing a few times.

At this moment, in Luo Fan's eyes, the colors of many things had changed, like a negative, but with dazzling light. However, this visual effect lasted only a short time and soon became extremely dark, like suddenly standing up after sitting for too long, causing a sudden darkness in one's vision.

But for a fleeting moment, his eyes met Rosalia's, their gazes locked. It was just a simple glance, but he saw something extraordinary in Rosalia's eyes...

The blinding crimson, the flames, the dazzling black and white light, the constantly shifting shadows that seemed to carry an eerie smile...

My brain suddenly trembled, and everything I saw went dark again. What I had just seen seemed to be just a hallucination caused by some mental damage.

Tsk, it feels like something has materialized in my eyes... But Luo Fan is certain that it's just an illusion.

Footsteps could be heard coming from the nearby staircase inside the bar, so it seems you've already noticed this unusual commotion.

Almost as soon as they heard Luo Fan's scream and the sound of the bottle shattering, the girls realized something was wrong. So, the Rebellion Squad, the AR Squad, and the 404 Squad returned to the bar together.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

M16's voice unusually became somewhat uneasy. She noticed Lofan leaning against the liquor cabinet and Barrett, who was controlling the girl, and was momentarily confused about the situation.

But the commander's current condition is probably somewhat related to the girl being held down by Barrett...

UMP45 and AK12 quickly walked to Luo Fan's side and briefly checked his physical condition, while AK15 and AR15 walked towards Barrett.

"My heart is racing, my breathing is heavy and rapid, my saliva is thick, and I have pain of unknown origin. Damn it, did he just take drugs?"

45 lost her usual smile and composure, becoming somewhat agitated; this highly illogical change of heart made her heart clench.

"Commander, open your eyes and look at me. How are you now?"

"I don't know, I can't see anything right now, but I can hear it, AK12..."

Luo Fan spoke in a weak voice, as if he might suddenly lose his strength and collapse at any moment.

His vital signs are still evident, but he doesn't look like he's full of energy right now...

"..."

AK12 stood up silently, her face as cold and hard as iron. Under the gaze of everyone, she turned and walked towards Rosalia.

Of course, 416 was also beside her, and the two of them had the same expression.
