Chen's face darkened, as if he were angry. He grabbed the Crimson Sky Sword, turned around, and went back to his office, seemingly unwilling to go with them.
Swire didn't react at all, and led Yunyi away without turning her head.
On her way to the interrogation room, Yun Yi could no longer see the office she had come from, and her fingertips unconsciously rubbed her collar.
At this moment, the portion of the Nirvana that had been released earlier returned.
After Yun Yi had the returning Nirvana liquid melt back into the collar in stealth mode, he paid no further attention to it.
She was still replaying the scene in her mind, her face filled with confusion.
Although I guessed they were acting, wasn't the acting too disjointed?
Chen's anger was completely unreasonable.
Even if Shi Huaiya ignores people, shouldn't she act like she can't stand it and start arguing?
Why did you suddenly get so angry that you turned around and left, ignoring even Hoshiguma's calls?
Yunyi's confusion remains unresolved for the time being.
Because by the time she wanted to ask, she had already arrived at her destination.
For some reason, the office and the interrogation room were not far apart.
Yun Yi felt as if in the blink of an eye, Swire led her to a stop in front of a door with an interrogation room sign.
Perhaps they had been waiting for them, for the door swung open as soon as they arrived.
As Shi Huaiya walked in, she didn't forget to pull Yun Yi along.
Inside the door was a typical interrogation table, with a bright white light hanging from the ceiling that illuminated the three people on either side of the table.
Especially the white-haired girl being interrogated; Yun Yi could barely make out who she was.
As soon as Swire entered, he closed his eyes and expertly raised his hand to swipe across the door.
The brightness of the white light immediately decreased to a level that was at least not glaring.
Yun Yi followed her hand and saw that there was a roller switch under her hand.
This was the first time Yunyi had ever seen such a light switch.
PS:
I'm so frustrated! Why are the joining times of everyone at Penguin Logistics so chaotic?
The text is either messed up or the addition time could be several years. The clearest addition time is actually Exusiai, followed by Texas. The others are a bit blurry. Then there are some bugs with Mostima and Sora, sometimes early and sometimes late. So there's nothing I can do. If you find any discrepancies between this and what you think, just consider it my secondary interpretation.
The order I've compiled is: Mostima - Texas - Lappland - Exusiai - Croissant - Sora - Bison
that's it.

On the other hand, whether the lights were working properly seemed to be the switch that controlled the three people's actions.
As soon as Swire put the lights back on, the three of them let out a collective sigh of relief, some slumping onto the table, others sliding down their chairs.
They all looked like they had survived a disaster.
Is this some kind of performance art?
Yun Yi tilted his head in confusion, looking at Shi Huaiya who had opened her eyes.
Shi Huai Ya squinted, indicating that she didn't know either.
But every time Penguin Logistics comes, they come up with something new and interesting, and she's gotten used to it.
“It’s perfectly normal for people from Penguin Logistics to do anything outrageous,” Swire told Yunyi, sharing her experience.
"?" Yun Yi looked bewildered. Penguin Logistics was such an abstract force?
Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, it seems quite normal that players are abstract, Rhodes Island is abstract, Rhodes Island's cooperative forces, and Penguin Logistics are also abstract.
Yunyi thought it made sense and secretly refreshed his overall impression of Penguin Logistics.
Just as Yun Yi was about to completely label Penguin Logistics with an abstract label, the black-haired girl next to the white-haired girl, with a stick-like object in her mouth and maintaining a cold expression, turned her head and said quietly, "Miss Shi, please don't distort our company's image in front of others."
Swire glared at her and said angrily, "You'd better pronounce my name correctly first!"
Did you mispronounce the name?
The black-haired girl turned back to look at Hoshiguma opposite her, her eyes asking: What's wrong?
"The young lady's surname is Swire." Hoshiguma stopped there.
"I'm sorry." The black-haired girl immediately bowed her head and apologized to Swire.
She had almost gotten used to living in Lungmen and had always assumed that Shi Huaiya's surname was Shi and given name was Huaiya. She used to call her Officer directly. She didn't expect that this time she would accidentally make a blunder by slightly changing the way she addressed her.
"Fine, just don't call me that anymore." Swire took a deep breath and waved her hand. She was getting used to it; everyone's first reaction was that her surname was Swire.
Yun Yi, on the other hand, for some reason, addressed her directly as Miss Swire from the very beginning, without the suffix, simply calling her Swire.
Despite Yunyi's name clearly being in the Yan Kingdom style, she was completely unaffected by Yan Kingdom's naming conventions and mistakenly called Shi Huaiya by the wrong name.
Leaving aside Yun Yi as an exception, Swire gradually became more aware of giving everyone who addressed her incorrectly a chance—otherwise, she would drive herself crazy.
However, Swire narrowed her eyes, and Felin's pupils, sharpened by the bright light, stared intently at the black-haired girl: "Remember, this is a one-time thing, and there will be no next time."
The black-haired girl nodded earnestly and said, "There won't be a next time, Miss Swire."
The other party demonstrated through their actions that they remembered, which pleased Swire: "Good attitude. I'll give you a chance to change my colleague's impression of your company."
"Explain yourselves, why are you turning on such a strong light without adjusting it?"
"..." No one spoke.
Looking at the three silent people, especially the two from Penguin Logistics, Swire couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling: "Texas, stop struggling. Does your company even have a corporate image?"
Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl turned her head away and remained silent.
Yunyi immediately understood that this was Texas.
This name sounds familiar.
Yun Yi held his chin and carefully observed the other person. Only then did he realize that the hair under the black-haired girl's pointed animal ears was not black, but dark blue. It was just that it was too dark, so it would appear as a slightly shiny black if you didn't look closely.
And she doesn't just have this one hair color.
Texas tilted her head, and as her hair rippled, you could see that the strands inside were a crimson color, the same as the eyeshadow under her eyes.
Simply put, her outer layer of hair is dark blue, while the inner layer is crimson, making her look like a sliced candy from the side.
That hair is so trendy!
Her eye color is a plain amber, nothing fancy, but the upper half of her eyes is inexplicably dark. It doesn't look like it's hidden by shadows; it's just naturally like that...
"Are you mesmerized by Texas? Miss, why don't you take a look at me?" Just then, a white head popped into Yun Yi's field of vision.
With a slightly exaggerated smile, she interrupted Yun Yi's observation with a playful tone, drawing his attention to herself.
"I'm just observing," Yun Yi said truthfully.
"Then why don't you observe me? Am I not worthy of your observation, Miss?" The white-haired girl quickly switched places with Texas.
She crossed her legs, her posture slightly unrestrained yet exuding an inexplicable elegance and nobility, and the words she uttered were a contradictory state of being both polite and eccentric.
Looks so familiar!
Yun Yi scratched his head and replied, "Okay, don't move yet, let me take a look... By the way, what's your name?"
"Her name is Lappland, and she just arrived in Lungmen today." Before the white-haired girl, whose eyes widened with interest, could introduce herself, Hoshiguma preemptively took over.
After the introductions, Hoshiguma greeted Yunyi: "Haven't seen you in a while, Yunyi, you seem to be in worse shape?"
“Miss, I suspect you’ll fall asleep any second now,” Hoshiguma said, looking at Swire with concern.
Yunyi and Shi Huaiya looked at each other and realized that the other did indeed seem extremely tired.
Yun Yi is alright, but he seems a little dazed.
Swire's eyes weren't so good; the green was somewhat dull, the color shifting from pine green to dark green.
Moreover, it seemed that Hoshiguma's explanation made her realize her own physical fatigue, and Swire's body suddenly swayed uncontrollably.
Strange, Swire was clearly full of energy just now, how come she suddenly looks like this... Could it be that she was just putting on a brave face all along?
Yun Yi reached out and gently supported Shi Huaiya, his doubts and concerns weighing on his mind: "Why don't you rest for a bit first, and then we can talk about other things?"
Swire shook his head. It was still a little short.
She leaned on Yunyi's hand, which was supporting her, and turned to look at Hoshiguma.
Hoshiguma understood. Before Swire could force herself to speak, he spread his hands to the two people in front of him and briefly explained the current situation: "The two Penguin Logistics deliverymen were ambushed by a group of high-risk individuals while delivering the goods. This Miss Lappland inflicted quite serious injuries on those people. We are waiting for news from the hospital."
Let's see if anyone has died as a result.
This determines the severity of the incident.
Of course, Lapland will definitely be fine.
After all, it was self-defense, and he was one of the Emperor's men.
Since the outcome is already decided, why bother with all this fuss...?
Swire's gaze swept over the conspicuous Originium crystals on Lappland's long, white legs.
Is it because they are infected?
"Who made the suggestion?" Swire asked immediately after understanding the situation.
Who was the person who suggested that this necessary change was necessary?
“It’s the same few people. As soon as they saw Lappland, they righteously demanded that all procedures be followed step by step.” Hoshiguma said, giving Lappland an apologetic smile.
Honestly, it's disgusting to see such an undeserved disaster caused by prejudice.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter Forty-One What evil intentions could a battle maniac possibly have? She just wanted to…
But Hoshiguma has to do it.
People within the system themselves demanded complete procedures, which had to be followed, otherwise it would give others ammunition to criticize them.
Especially Hoshiguma, many people are secretly watching her.
"Still the same few people?" Swire lowered her eyes in thought. This didn't quite match her guess... No, perhaps it was because the other party knew the Guard Bureau and knew that there were some people in the Guard Bureau who were particularly hostile and disliked the Infected.
Thinking of this, Swire looked at Lappland.
Lappland stood with his arms crossed, watching Swire and Hoshiguma with great interest, as if he were watching a spectacle.
Ignoring the other woman's mocking gaze, Swire politely inquired, "Miss Lappland, do you have any leads on who attacked you?"
"Those cheap punching bags that attacked me?" Lappland tilted her head, her furry wolf/Rupert ears drooping to one side. "Ah, those guys who have some interesting hiding tricks, but whose direct combat is completely unsatisfying..."
“It smells like the recipient, from Victoria,” Texas added from the side.
Her eyelids drooped, and she seemed shrouded in a lingering weariness, but her words were concise and to the point: "We need to apply to the boss for more specific details."
"No need for that, this is enough." Swire had completely determined who was behind this.
Since it's from Victoria's side, she can check it herself more quickly.
Victoria...
It turned out that it wasn't some other force in disguise, but rather that people from Victoria's side had actually come.
They had absolutely no intention of hiding anything, and their methods were extremely crude.
The fact that they were able to successfully injure her was entirely due to the actions of several other forces—what did the person who initiated this operation want?
Swire bit her lip, completely baffled. She waved goodbye and hurried back to contact her contacts in Victoria to find out what was going on.
"Don't go yet, Miss. If you want to use something and then throw it away, you should at least take your own things with you first, right?" Hoshiguma stood up and tried to persuade him to stay. His handsome face was tinged with a teasing smile, and his height of over 1.8 meters made Yun Yi look on with envy.
