Is there still a chance to turn things around?
Luo Fan said with a smile, "We don't have any rooms left. It would be too much trouble to book another room if there were two extra people."
To put it bluntly, he was just too lazy to run around, and also, personally, he really liked both of the characters.
Sisters with an artistic flair, a love for poetry, and a unique and sensitive personality like Ms. Mo, in black, understated yet elegant gowns—these are all areas where Luo Fan has a strong preference.
Luo Fan prefers their temperament to their appearance, even though they are very beautiful.
Luo Fan added, "Anyway, we'll be leaving after one night, so let's just stay here. It shouldn't be a problem if we squeeze in."
As long as the bed doesn't collapse...
The two stopped in their tracks and looked back at the four members of the Rebellion Squad. Although their faces were expressionless, they were very nervous inside.
They knew that although Luo Fan was the commander, the actual decision-making power was not in his hands. Their fate was actually in the hands of the Rebellion Squad, but they had been enemies with them in the first place...
The situation became somewhat tense.
"Should we let them stay?"
Luo Fan gently patted AK12's head.
AK12's smile returned, while RPK16 continued to feign indifference.
"Okay, but make them behave."
AK12 finally gave in, and the sisters' smiles returned to their faces.
"Well then, thank you, Miss AK12."
Nemokin nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
But all they got was a glimpse of the AK12, and they didn't take it seriously.
It's okay, as long as they can stay, it doesn't really matter what their attitude is as long as they're not angry.
"By the way, where are your arms?"
Luo Fan suddenly asked.
224 Black Viper
I suddenly remembered something rather troublesome: the hands of Mercury Rose and Nemokin.
I remember being startled when I first saw their animated figures. Those weren't hands; they were two mechanical arms that could extend and fire guns. No wonder they usually kept their hands hidden in their sleeves.
If this situation remains unchanged, their future actions may become much more complicated...
The two sisters were somewhat puzzled when Luo Fan stopped them.
"hand?"
Although they didn't understand the other party's intentions, they still cooperated by sticking their hands out of Songla's sleeves.
"Eh?"
"How could this be?"
They weren't surprised at first, but when they saw their own hands, they were just as confused.
Luo Fan raised an eyebrow slightly after looking at the two intact human arms: "Interesting, just like the executioners..."
Their original mechanical arms, like the executioner's right exoskeleton, were replaced with human-like bionic skin, making them indistinguishable from ordinary people in appearance, and in most cases, it did not affect their original performance.
Although it's bionic, this human arm doesn't seem to be able to perform the original function of a mechanical arm. Is it going to become Iron Man?
"My hands... how did they turn into human shapes...?!"
Mercury Rose was still puzzled by her arm, but something triggered her, and the girl jumped like a startled bird.
"Bah!"
"Damn it!"
Luo Fan immediately stepped back, the sudden change also causing him to subconsciously place his hand on his empty belt.
A black mechanical arm emerged from deep within the sleeve like a viper, springing into the air before anyone could react, and hovering there in the posture of a viper preparing to attack its prey.
The rebellious squad, who had been bowing and preparing to swarm forward, stopped in their tracks. They had thought Mercury Rose was about to launch an attack, but it seemed the current situation was not what she had expected...
In addition to the humanoid bionic hand, there is another independent mechanical arm that can be hidden seamlessly in the cuffs under normal circumstances and can be ejected with the original effect when needed.
Upon discovering that her sister had inexplicably acquired a mechanical arm, Nemokin attempted to do the same.
"Bah!"
Unsurprisingly, she also has her own independent robotic arm.
"Let me see......"
After confirming that it would not cause any harm, Luo Fan slowly walked up to Mercury Rose and grabbed the extension of the mechanical arm.
Seemingly unaccustomed to it, his arm twitched slightly before returning to normal, the muzzle of the gun aimed at his head like a venomous snake flicking its tongue at him.
Luo Fan's heart tightened, but he was still certain that they wouldn't shoot him.
He applied a little force, but the robotic arm did not deform with his movements, seemingly depending entirely on the operator's control.
Luo Fan released his grip, took a few steps back, and moved to a safe distance.
"Try moving your arms around a bit."
"..."
As he spoke, the other person began to move the black venomous snake that stood out somewhat out of place on the elegant dress.
At first, they were a little unaccustomed to it, like rehabilitation training for disabled people. But as the frequency of the activities increased and the range of twisting increased, Mercury Rose and Nemokin became more and more skilled at manipulating their arms, and they were already able to pick up other items such as water bottles and remote controls.
After they became more skilled at the operation, they twisted their free hands, and then a second venomous snake extended from their sleeves.
"Ah, although he is no longer our father, we must admit that the things he created are truly works of art."
Mercury Rose stretched her arms as high as the ceiling, then twisted them at an incredible speed, spreading her "fingers" and almost instantly rushed in front of the television screen, as if she were about to pierce and tear it apart in the next second.
As the activity ended, the robotic arm retracted quickly back into the cuff as they operated it, without the sleeve even sticking up, as if nothing had ever existed there.
Nemokin chuckled softly, "Yes, beautiful works of art transcend perspectives, at least for now..."
They admired their slender, delicate fingers, feeling genuine joy and pride in their terrifying destructive power.
They were glad that they had not lost the soul they were so proud of.
Luo Fan was quite satisfied with the current situation, a smile on her face as if she were celebrating for the two sisters.
That would be even better. It would allow them to conceal their identity and power without causing any exposure issues. They wouldn't have to worry about being watched by extra eyes when it came to their daily lives, and could continue as usual.
Of course, it is also an excellent assassination tool. After all, who would have thought that such a vicious viper was hidden in the arms of two beautiful ladies?
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Luo Fan waved to the girls and walked towards the front door.
"Alright, let's not stand here anymore. I remember the receptionist said they have food on the first floor when we came in. Let's go there and eat."
Ordering takeout is probably out of the question.
We can't just let the two of them eat hamburgers as soon as they arrive, that would be too strange, and they would probably feel it's too rude and politely decline.
Let them eat something normal first, and judging from the number of people in the restaurant, the quality seems to be quite good.
The six girls in the room exchanged glances and silently followed...
As they entered the corridor, Luo Fan picked up his headphones and cleared his throat: "Girls, come out, let's go eat."
Within ten seconds, several adjacent doors opened simultaneously, and more than twenty people entered the not-so-spacious corridor.
This display of force startled Nemokin and Mercury Rose. They had never expected Griffin to have so many people, including several Ironblood androids, and even... a Black Neto? And Lady Grey?!
Oh no! Apart from the last two, the others were their nemesis. Are they going to be torn apart on the spot...?
"Sister, it seems the stage these days doesn't allow us to leave in a dignified manner..."
Mercury Rose awkwardly laughed and took a step back towards the wall of the corridor, taking Nemokin's hand with her.
Nemokin, the older sister, smiled just as stiffly as her younger sister: "It seems so..."
This is a real threat. A few people are one thing, but there are more than twenty people here. If they all rush in, they could easily tear them apart on the spot.
As the two retreated, they attracted the attention of the girls, who were even yawning...
......
225. Sense of oppression
Four eyes met with more than forty eyes. Apart from the rebellious squad and Luo Fan, whose expressions seemed relatively calm, the girls' eyes all looked as if they had seen a ghost, their pupils dilating instantly as if they had entered a dark environment.
"Uh, everyone at Griffin, we meet again..."
Nemokin greeted him hesitantly, her breathing unsteady, clearly still largely driven by fear.
The girls' hands instinctively went to the empty holsters again, but then they realized that they were wearing civilian clothes and none of their equipment was on them, not even a dagger.
AR15 and M16 reacted even faster. The moment they couldn't reach their weapons, they crouched down, ready to pin Nemokin and Mercury Rose against the wall and restrict their movements, ensuring they wouldn't have the chance to attack first.
But considering the precedent set by Mrs. Grey, they hesitated again...
Mercury Rose and Nemokin held hands, even ready to run away at any moment, but when they saw the Griffin members suddenly stop, their slightly raised heels hesitated for a moment.
The two women, who were ready to "launch" at any moment, stared at Luo Fan. They could tell that their thoughts and questions were exactly the same.
AR15 stiffly pointed her finger at the two people in the corner: "Commander, they wouldn't be... too..."
This...this isn't right...?
"It's just as you think. Although it's still hard to understand, we've already confirmed it."
Luo Fan nodded. He had guessed this would happen, but thankfully the girls remembered this wasn't the first time. It was already a big favor that M16 hadn't choked them and slammed them against the wall, considering that M16 had once shot Mercury Rose through the head...
So now, Mercury Rose always feels a strong sense of fear when she sees M16. The other person's figure appears very tall in front of her. It is already evening, and in her field of vision, M16 almost blocks out the lights in the corridor. She can only see the white hair and eye patch that frighten her, as well as the two horrifying scars.
As Nieto, who was at least not a complete machine, Mercury Rose felt her legs still trembling uncontrollably, not only from the fear of death and the ugly state she had incurred when she died.
"you you......"
She leaned against the wall, her eyes flickering as she stared at the M16 in front of her, almost suffocating, as if an invisible giant hand was choking her.
Attracted by the other party's trembling voice, M16's gaze returned to Mercury Rose, utterly indifferent, as if looking at a dead person.
She seemed to remember why Mercury Rose had treated her that way...
"Oh, Miss Mercury Rose, how have you been?"
The sarcasm was undisguised; she had been dead for a long time, only to come back to life now. How could she be considered recent?
"I'm alright... Thank you for your concern..."
Her awkward smile remained on her face.
Luo Fan could only sense an extremely strong tension between the two. It was quite remarkable that Mercury Rose could still maintain her elegance in front of 16 Pigeons, after all, she was the one who had killed her, so she would still feel some fear.
All I can hope for now is that no innocent passerby happens to walk by, otherwise, seeing this scene in the corridor, they'll probably think it's some kind of bullying scene involving two delicate and wealthy young ladies.
At least if this did happen, M16 definitely has the aura of a big sister. She's tall, blindfolded, and cool. What else could she be but a boss?
Mercury Rose and Nemokin, needless to say, both exude the air of wealthy heiresses, and the kind that seem easy to bully, provided you don't know what they're hiding in their arms...
M16 glanced at them again. The two sisters didn't seem to be hostile, and with the Rebellious Squad watching them, she relaxed her guard and took a few steps back to where Luo Fan was, giving the two some space to move around.
Seeing that M16 had also relaxed his guard, the girls' tense muscles began to relax slowly, and they stopped being vigilant.
But the sisters should be the ones who are truly relaxed, right? At least that's what Luo Fan thinks. Surrounded by so many T800s, one of whom had even killed him once, he would be afraid too, but the way he's surrounded now has a different meaning...
The two sisters did breathe a sigh of relief once the girls' attention was no longer on them.
As the immense pressure lifted from her body, she felt incredibly light. Nemokin felt a little dizzy and leaned against the wall behind her, rubbing her forehead.
"Be prepared, little sister, the road ahead may be even more difficult..."
"I understand, sister, I understand, like Cinderella who accidentally wandered into a noble ball..."
Mercury Rose was also in a bad state, even worse than her sister, after all, she was the one who faced 16 pigeons directly.
And it wasn't just M16; they didn't ignore the slightly hostile gazes from Griffin and the Iron-Blooded Girls. They seemed to find it harder to accept than Lady Grey and the Black Nieto, since those two had directly stood with them.
Cinderella—what an apt description! Just like the fairy tales they once read in their spare time, she suffered ridicule and ostracism from the nobles, and could only bow her head and endure their words.
However, they have one thing in common with Cinderella: they also have a spirit of not being afraid of hardship!
Knowing full well that there are tigers in the mountains, they still venture into the tiger's den. They refuse to believe that with their skills and emotional intelligence, they can't snatch a piece of meat from Griffin and Ironblood!
