Chapter 80 His Throat Was Slit



Shui Qingqing and Shui Duoduo are fraternal twins, but they do not look alike.

Shui Duoduo doesn't resemble either of her parents, so she has never attracted the attention of the Inner Earth Tribe because of her appearance.

However, when he later met his father, Zhong Kui, he discovered that his sister and he looked quite alike.

Chi Shuang couldn't possibly have never met Zhong Kui. Seeing the striking resemblance between Shui Qingqing and Zhong Kui, she might have become suspicious!

Xin Sui said calmly, "It's a little sister I met in Thorn City before. She's a bit shy, so please don't take offense, Sister Chi Shuang."

Shui Qingqing grew up in a slum, which honed her ability to read people's expressions and made her extremely sensitive to their emotions.

She instinctively felt that there must be a reason why Sister Lily said that, so she followed her words and pretended to be shy, lowering her head and hiding behind her.

Xin Sui secretly praised her, thinking, "What a clever girl."

When Chi Shuang came over just now, she subconsciously wanted to hide Shui Qingqing behind her, but then she felt that doing so would be too deliberate.

It might attract Chishuang's attention, so he refrained from making any moves.

But if Shui Qingqing does as she says, there will be no problem at all.

The child is shy.

Feeling awkward when meeting important people.

Chi Shuang glanced at Shui Qingqing again, smiling broadly: "Shy girls are the cutest."

"Alright, I have something to do, so I won't chat any longer. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

"Okay, Sister Chishuang, thank you so much for bringing me here despite being so busy."

"I'll treat you to dinner after the food festival competition ends."

"Okay, I'll definitely have to savor your... delicious food then."

Red Frost has left.

Seeing the gossipy eyes of the people around them, Xin Sui quickly pulled Shui Qingqing away and went to a corner.

Where is Duoduo?

"When he left, he said he saw an acquaintance and asked me to come over first and give this to you."

Shui Qingqing handed over a box, "Duoduo said the instructions have already been sent to you, Sister Lili."

Xin Sui took out the crystal card and saw that there was indeed an unread message from Shui Duoduo.

"There are countless people secretly eyeing the reward on the fifth floor. The moment you come out, you'll become an obvious target."

"I made you a mask. It can disguise your face. Just stick it on. Remember to wear it before you come out."

The male lead is quite considerate.

Although she already has a disguise wig, she probably won't need the mask that Shui Duoduo made, but she is still very grateful for his thoughtfulness.

She replied with a "Thanks".

She then told him about her encounter with Chishuang.

On a certain street, Water is stalking a member of the Inner Earth Tribe.

They planned to find an opportunity to resolve the matter.

Upon receiving the message from "Li Xueli", he immediately abandoned the underground tribe and rushed to the Drum Tower.

But I only saw my older sister.

"And her?"

Shui Qingqing said, "Sister Lili has already gone to the fifth floor."

Shui Duoduo looked up and asked, "Sis, why aren't you wearing the mask I gave you?"

Shui Qingqing then remembered, "Sorry, I forgot."

Shui Duoduo rubbed her temples in annoyance.

In order to create the disguise mask as soon as possible, he has been working hard to collect materials these days.

Fortunately, we have obtained the most crucial material.

It's a gelatinous substance made from dead jellyfish that we previously salvaged.

However, collecting other materials also took quite a bit of time.

He finally collected them all yesterday and spent the whole night crafting two disguise masks.

One of them was given to my older sister to cover her face, which resembled Zhong Kui's.

The other one was given to Li Xueli, in case she was killed as soon as she left Gulou.

So far, he has found his cooperation with her quite pleasant and doesn't want to lose her as an ally for the time being.

Who knew that he was only a little late, and his sister's face was seen by Chi Shuang.

Was it a genuine coincidence, or was it something Lee Sulli did on purpose?

If Li Xueli really wanted to reveal the identities of the siblings, she wouldn't have needed to go through such a roundabout way.

"Sister, there's nothing to be embarrassed about between us."

Shui Duoduo comforted her sister.

Although she is called his older sister, he often treats her like his daughter in this new life.

After all, he was old enough to be his sister's grandfather in his previous life.

"The reason I made you wear a mask is to protect you. As for the reason, I will tell you when the time is right."

Shui Qingqing had a hunch that her younger brother harbored a secret.

Otherwise, how could her younger brother, who had lived with her since childhood, suddenly know so much?

He seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, becoming calm and reliable, and often gave her the illusion of being an elder.

But she didn't ask.

Because she and her brother are related by blood, they are the closest and dearest people to each other in the world.

He must have a reason for not telling her, and she doesn't need to dig into it.

Duo Duo's words now confirmed her suspicions.

"Okay, I'll go put on the mask right away."

Shui Duoduo hesitated for a moment, but still let her go.

Although Chishuang had seen her sister's face, it was only once, so she couldn't possibly remember it very clearly.

Moreover, the mask he made for his sister was specially designed based on her facial features.

Wearing it may not seem to change much, but it will minimize the similarities between her and Zhong Kui.

It creates a feeling of being completely different people.

It's not too late for my sister to wear it now.

Xin Sui took the elevator to the fifth floor.

The elevator is located in the very center of the Drum Tower and is transparent on all four sides.

It is said to be to make it easier for passengers to enjoy the scenery inside the building.
