Chapter 688: Clorinde, long-lost
……
Just when the situation was gradually under control, suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the office door seemed to be slammed open by a powerful force.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure appear in the room.
I saw Clorinde holding an unconscious person, it was Femini.
At this time, there was not a dry part on Clorinde's body, and water was dripping from her clothes and hair.
Her clothes were soaked by sea water and stuck tightly to her skin, and her fair skin could be vaguely seen underneath the clothes.
Her hair was wet and stuck into clumps because she had just come out of the water, making her look a little disheveled.
Originally, with Clorinde's ability, she could use elemental power to wrap her body to avoid being soaked by sea water. However, in order to save Femini, she had no time to take care of these.
"Give way."
Before she had finished her words, she quickly walked to the center of the room and laid the unconscious and soaking wet Femini steadily on the ground.
Leosley looked at the office door that was kicked in by Clorinde, covered his forehead with his hands, and said sadly: "Ah, Miss Clorinde, my door..."
"Writing a maintenance report is more troublesome than winning the boxing arena."
When Lini saw Femini who was unconscious, he was shocked. He dragged his paralyzed body to him and shouted anxiously: "Femini? Femini! What's wrong with you? Wake up!"
Compared to Linny who was focused on the unconscious Femini, Shao Yun's attention was on Clorinde who had not appeared for more than a week!
"Wow, Clorinde, I haven't seen you since Funina adjusted to the time difference that day. It's been a long time!"
Clorinde obviously did not expect to meet Shao Yun here. She was caught off guard and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long while, she came back to her senses and stammered, "Hello, Master... Master. Aren't you responsible for Lady Funina's safety? Why are you in Melo Petersburg?"
Shao Yun showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
He folded his arms and answered slowly, "I wanted to ask you the same question, Clorinde. Funina gave me a holiday. Isn't that amazing?"
"Okay, I've finished answering. What about you? Why are you in Mellow Petersburg?"
Facing Shao Yun's question, Clorinde did not hide anything. She said frankly, "It's like this. Leosley has some personal work that needs my help."
"Lady Funina felt that with you protecting him, there shouldn't be any problems, so she approved a vacation for me."
"Oh, I see." Shao Yun nodded, and then asked, "Have you been living in Mellow Petersburg all this time?"
"Yes, I do," replied Clorinde.
……
Leosli watched Clorinde talking to Shao Yun with great interest, and noticed that Clorinde's expression was a little subtle, and he felt that he had discovered something particularly interesting.
He teased Clorinde and said, "Shao Yun? Master? Clorinde, from your tone, I feel like I have discovered an incredible relationship."
Upon hearing this, Clorinde blushed slightly. She put her left hand on her waist and responded unhappily, "Leosley, don't make wild guesses. Mr. Shao Yun and I are just a simple master-disciple relationship."
Then, she glared at Leosili and warned him, "If you dare to make up rumors and make up dirty stories about Mr. Shao Yun, you'll end up lying in the infirmary for three months!"
Leosley didn't take it seriously. He thought Clorinde was just trying to scare him and didn't believe she would really do anything.
So, he said with a grin, "Wow, really? I'd like to give it a try. See if the strongest duel agent's strength has improved."
Shao Yun was listening to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but find it funny to see Leosli being so reckless.
He could hardly suppress his smile, and secretly clenched his fists, and asked with a half-smile: "Okay, you want to try it, right? If you try it, you will die, but you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Only then did Leosli realize that things might not be as simple as he imagined. It turned out that it was not Clorinde who wanted to fight with him, but Shao Yun!
When he saw Shao Yun's half-smile and the crackling of his fists, he suddenly felt a little scared.
He quickly laughed to ease the tense atmosphere and said, "Haha, just kidding. Villette told me not to provoke you. Sorry."
……
On the other side, Lini looked at Femini, whose face was flushed, pulse was beating rapidly, and who was already unconscious, and asked, "Femini, what's going on?"
"It was clearly just an ordinary letter delivery mission, how could it have turned into such a serious situation!?"
Because the spies had been cleared out by Leosli, the three little ones discussed it. Linny and Linnette continued to investigate, while Femini, who was good at swimming, was responsible for passing on the information.
As a result, today, they were all taken away in one go...
Clorinde, who was standing nearby, smoothed her hair that was wet by the sea water and fell in front of her eyes, and explained: "As far as I know, primitive fetal sea water appeared in the waters around Melo Petersburg. I'm afraid this is the reason why Femini is in this situation."
When Shao Yun heard the words "original fetal sea water", his heart sank suddenly, and he knew how serious the situation had developed.
The next step should be for Villette to come to the rescue. I don’t know what Ying is doing now.
No! Ying is not from Fontaine either, why should I worry about it?
Thinking of the hydrological report that Funina had secretly hidden behind her this morning, Shao Yun said thoughtfully:
"Oh, I remember now. Funina seemed to have mentioned this morning that some abnormal components were detected in the seawater of the Li Fei District. I guess it was the so-called original fetal seawater that leaked."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open slowly, and Linnet dragged her slightly weak body, holding the door frame with her hands, and staggered in.
Her face looked very haggard. It was obvious that Linnett had taken a lot more anesthetics than Linny.
As soon as she saw her brother Linni, she called out in a weak voice: "Brother..."
Sigwen looked at Linnet, who had staggered out of the infirmary and came here, and said distressedly:
"Ms. Linnet, didn't I tell you? After being shot with the tranquilizer gun, you need to lie in bed and rest!"
Linnet did not take Sigwen's advice to heart. After Sigwen left, she wanted to find her brother and report that she was safe.
At this moment, Linny saw Linnet standing there safely, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
He rushed forward, opened his arms, and hugged Linnet tightly, fearing that she would suddenly disappear like she did when she was a child.
"Linnet, I'm so glad you're okay!" Linnie said excitedly, her voice trembling slightly.
Linnet was caught off guard by Linnie's sudden hug. She felt like she was being squeezed by Linnie to the point of suffocation.
She patted Linny's back helplessly and said with a hint of anger: "Stupid brother, let go quickly, I can't breathe if you hold me like this..."
Linny then realized that he was a little too excited. He quickly let go of her hand, scratched his head with embarrassment, and apologized, "Ah? Sorry, Linnet, I was so happy that I couldn't control my emotions."
Linnet rolled her eyes at Linnie, tidied up her clothes that were messed up by Linnie, then looked at Leosley on the side and said, "Okay, brother, let's talk business first."
……
Seeing that his actions had completely failed, Linny decided not to hide anything.
Linnie put away the smile on his face, took a deep breath, looked at Leosley, and asked, "Mr. Leosley, now that everything has been exposed, I will no longer hide anything."
"I would like to ask you, what was the mysterious money that flowed into Melo Petersburg used for?"
Leosley felt it was ridiculous and absurd that Linnie had done so much just to investigate that fund.
He originally planned to directly reject Lin Ni's request, but when he saw Shao Yun was also present, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind and made him change his mind.
"Well, I should still have some time. Since you Fatui are so eager to uncover this secret, then follow me."
When Linney heard Leosley agree so readily, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He asked in disbelief, "Ah? Really?"
Seeing this, Leosli pretended to change his mind and said, "Why, you don't want to watch it anymore? Well, Sigwen, give Linnie another shot of anesthetic and send him to your infirmary."
When Linnie heard this, he immediately panicked. He didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. After all, he wanted to finish the job early and leave Mello Petersburg early!
He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, let me see, let me see!"
Clorinde, who was standing by, realized that the matter had nothing to do with her anymore and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"I'm not going to watch the secret of Mello Petersburg. I need to find a place without surveillance to change my wet clothes and dry them."
Seeing Clorinde turning around to leave, Sigwen hurried forward and stretched out her hand to block her way.
"Miss Clorinde, please wait a moment. I need to give you a thorough physical examination."
When Clorinde heard this, she looked down at her clothes that were soaked by the sea water and dripping with water, and said with difficulty: "But my clothes..."
These wet clothes stick tightly to the body, which not only makes people feel extremely uncomfortable, but may also cause colds.
However, Sigwen didn't seem to care about Clorinde's concerns. You've been exposed to the original fetal sea water, and you still care about catching a cold. What a joke!
She shook her head firmly and said in a resolute tone: "You have also been exposed to the original fetal sea water. For the sake of your health, you must be examined!"
Faced with Sigwen's insistence, Clorinde sighed helplessly, and finally nodded, indicating that she agreed to be examined.
So, Sigwen led Linnet, Femini and Clorinde to the infirmary.
At the same time, Leosli takes Shao Yun and Linny to explore the secrets of Melo Petersburg.
After passing through a mechanical lifting platform, I arrived at a rather secret office.
Rather than calling it an office, it would be more appropriate to describe this place as a forgotten corner.
The window of this office is extremely blurry, and it is impossible to see clearly what is happening on the other side through it.
Apart from this, there was nothing special about the whole room, which made it seem rather monotonous and deserted.
Inside the office, there were two desks piled with papers, and at each desk sat a bespectacled engineer from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences. One of them was named Jurieu, and the other was Lulvey.
Julius was extremely excited when he saw Leosly coming. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency the Duke! You are here just in time. The latest trial data has been..."
However, before he could finish his words, Lulvey stopped Juliet and reminded him softly, "Wait, Juliet, there are other people here!"
Seeing this, Leosli smiled slightly, waved his hand, and comforted him: "Don't worry, they are all our own people."
After that, he turned his head to look at the blurry glass, stretched out his finger, pointed at it, and then said: "Make this glass transparent."
Although Lulvey was wary of the two strangers brought by Leosley, she still obediently carried out Leosley's orders.
"Yes!" she replied, then walked to the window and pressed a button.
After a while, the originally blurry glass gradually became clear, and through the glass, one could clearly see the scene outside.
Leosli pointed to the large space outside the glass window, where a huge ship was quietly parked. Prisoners were busy moving around, carrying out construction work.
Leosley looked at this scene and said slowly: "Mr. Linnie, this is what you Fatui have always wanted to investigate."
