Lin Wu was even more stunned when he was sure that he was not seeing things.

As if he saw her confusion, You Yuan said concisely: "He saved you, he said he was your biological brother."

Lu Guichi at the door confirmed that Lin Wu was really fine, so he lowered his head and said, "I'm glad you're awake. I have things to do, so I should go..."

"You guys get out." Lin Wu spoke at the same time.

Lu Guichi suddenly fell silent.

Ren Ke and the others looked at each other and left together.

Only Lin Wu and Lu Guichi were left.

Lu Guichi was a little at a loss.

Instead, it was Lin Wu who moved first. She was calmer than Lu Guichi had expected, and pointed at the sofa and said, "Come and sit down, let's talk." She sat down first.

Lu Guichi was silent for a moment, then walked over and sat down on a single sofa far away.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wu said, "Why sit so far away? I want to speak loudly and it will be very tiring."

Lu Guichi was stunned.

Lin Wu asked, "Are you still worried that I will remember the past and take the opportunity to take revenge on you?"

"No..." Lu Guichi said hurriedly, but he couldn't continue under Lin Wu's gaze. He was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and sat over.

As the two men got closer, the atmosphere became even quieter, making Lu Guichi feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Wu didn't say anything else, just stared at Lu Guichi.

Lu Guichi was even more nervous, thinking about what Lin Wu might ask and how he should explain. Based on his understanding of Lin Wu, he was afraid that if he couldn't explain it well, she would really...

"What did you look like originally?" Lin Wu asked suddenly.

Lu Guichi was caught off guard. He didn't expect Lin Wu to say this first.

Lin Wu said: "Your current face is that of the second young master of the Lu family. What about your original face?"

Lu Guichi fell silent.

Lin Wu looked at him and said, "I want to see it."

Lu Guichi turned his head away and refused, "It's not necessary."

"Why?" Lin Wu asked.

Lu Guichi pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes and brows looking a little gloomy.

Lin Wu noticed and stopped insisting, but she opened her mouth again and brought up a topic that caught Lu Guichi off guard again: "I just found out that the mayor of Killer City is also a member of the Chi family and has lived for a long time. After I met him in the Ice Prison, he told me a lot about the Chi family's past."

Lu Guichi immediately looked at Lin Wu with obvious surprise on his face.

Lin Wu was much calmer and slowly told her what the city lord had told her. The focus was on how the Chi family members changed from normal people to extraordinary people, why they sent their family members to the outside world decades ago, and how they managed to pass through the gate of the underground city.

Lu Guichi listened, his face turned even paler, and he stammered, "You...you are willing to sacrifice blood to eliminate those alien creatures in the Ice Prison because you know..."

"No, I'm just doing my own thing. Even if I'm not a member of the Chi family, even if I don't know this, I will do it. Not for any reason, just for myself and a few friends around me, that's all."

Lin Wu looked at him: "I am not as great as you guys, who can sacrifice themselves for so many people. I just feel that I should do it."

Lu Guichi smiled bitterly.

"But these are not important." Lin Wu changed the subject and said, "You should know who the two people who escaped from the underground city thirty years ago were, right?"

Lu Guichi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "That's my aunt and uncle."

Without Lin Wu asking any more questions, he started talking about Shi Mo himself.

"There are three people in my family. One is my uncle, one is my aunt, and the other is my father."

"Back then, the tribes in the underground city wanted to kill all of the Chi family, but they also wanted to figure out how to get out of the underground city, so they left my father, his three siblings, and a few other tribesmen behind. At the time, they imprisoned us, mainly because they were using the little boy with the phoenix tattoo who had died, and using his flesh and blood for experiments."

"Later, they ran out of them, but they hadn't finished making them yet, so they targeted my father and his family. In order to have another member of the Chi family with a tattoo, they forced my father and his family to..."

Lu Guichi clenched his teeth, clenched his hands on his knees, and his whole body trembled due to extreme endurance and repression. He used all his strength to finally say those unspeakable words.

"——Incestuous."

"My father and his people could not bear the humiliation and tried every means to commit suicide. Those tribes were busy saving them and had no time to care about other things. They took this opportunity to send my aunt and uncle out of the underground city."

"My aunt and uncle almost died that time. They wanted to find the tribe leader and other tribesmen, but they were hunted everywhere by a powerful force, so they had to hide first."

Lin Wu opened his mouth and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"Your aunt is my mother, Chi Yangzhi?"

Lu Guichi nodded.

"What about your uncle? Is he dead? Or... still alive?"

Lu Guichi said: "You have seen him, it's Jian Chonghe. He didn't use this name originally, but he..." He paused and whispered: "He hated those people in the underground city so much that he wanted to open the door of the underground city, release all the alien creatures and kill everyone. This goes against the ancestral precepts of the Chi family, so he refused to use the surname Chi anymore."

Jian Chonghe wanted to do things as a person of a different surname, which the Chi family would never do for generations.

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, thinking of something, she said wait a moment, and then hurried upstairs. When she came down again, she took a tablet in her hand, operated it a few times, and handed it to Lu Guichi.

"Jian Chong and Yuan Shiyi look like this, right?"

On the screen was a sketch, which was the one that Lin Wu had someone reconstruct earlier.

The person in the painting was the one who was with Chi Yangzhi in the welfare home, and the young man Chi Yangzhi met after she gave birth to her.

Lu Guichi nodded, but then said, "Uncle has disfigured his original appearance. He will never be like this again."

“? Why?” Lin Wu was puzzled.

Lu Guichi said after a while: "He wants to do those things. He doesn't want to be a member of the Chi family anymore. He said he wants to completely give up everything as a member of the Chi family."

Lin Wu was speechless. He really didn't know what to say, and his mood was very complicated.

She asked: "What about you? You don't want to restore your original appearance because..."

Lu Guichi was silent for a long time this time.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said self-deprecatingly, "I am different from my uncle. I am simply disgusted by my original appearance. Because... my father and his cousin were forced to give birth to me."

"Since I was born, my face has been deformed and ugly. Later, when I was young, the tribes in the underground city forced me to become an alien. As an alien, I was also extremely ugly!"

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment.

Lu Guichi closed his eyes, not daring to look at Lin Wu's expression.

"I was too young at the time, and I almost died before I could endure the pain of becoming an Inhuman. My father and his friends tried to find a way to get me out of the dungeon, but they all died in there."

"After I got out, luckily my uncle had been trying to enter the dungeon and was paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the dungeon. He found me in time and took me away for treatment."

"I remember that someone was searching for the Chi family, but it seemed that someone else helped us cover our tracks and stopped those people, so we arrived in China smoothly. I think it was the mayor of Killer City."

"Later, we were isolated and helpless and asked my aunt for help. That's when I found out that she already had a family. We were both very special and we couldn't let outsiders know about us, so my aunt and I decided to meet secretly in the North City."

"But we were still found and almost couldn't leave North City. Fortunately, my aunt's family came to find us, and we were able to leave alive. Afterwards, I became Lu Guichi."

Lu Guichi seemed to be lost in some memories. He became visibly depressed and his voice was choked with sobs.

"In the first few years of being Lu Guichi, I was always on tenterhooks, luckily my uncle helped me cover it up."

"I originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask the Lu family to send me to study in another province. The farther away I am, the less contact I will have, which will reduce the possibility of exposure. But the Lu family is very kind to me, and my brother is also... The Chi family is very good at self-healing. When we were in the underground city, no one cared about us, no matter if we were seriously injured or sick, as long as we didn't die, it was fine."

"But at the Lu family, I just sneezed and they got really nervous."

“I like them very much.”

"...Now that they know I'm not Lu Guichi, I'm afraid they're going to hate me to death."

Lin Wu said without hesitation: "They won't."

Lu Guichi looked at her.

Lin Wu said: "You have lived with them for so long, you must trust them."

Lu Guichi could only smile bitterly: "But fake is fake after all."

Lin Wu remained silent and changed the subject, "What happened next?" She looked at Lu Guichi, "I've always wanted to ask you, when we first met six years ago, didn't you recognize me as your aunt's daughter? The city lord said that Jian Chonghe was suspicious when he first saw me."
