Wasteland Garbage Planet 41: Fishing for someone and ended up hooking my own brother? ...
When the naive young lady checked into the luxurious princess suite, she changed out of the dress that could conceal her identity as a cyborg but was not convenient for movement at all.
After changing into light clothes, Lina came to Xie Yunsui's small bedroom: "What's the next move?"
Xie Yunsui peered down through the transparent colored glass. "We were targeted the moment we arrived. Does that person look familiar to you?"
Lina looked down and saw the man leaning against the dark alley. He had a tough demeanor and kept looking at the hotel entrance. She didn't know what he was thinking.
Lina did not cover her face this time. If anyone knew her, they must be someone related to the research institute.
But they forgot that this was a chaotic urban area, and the prying eyes were not just because they thought she looked familiar. As soon as she got out of the car, Lina felt the gazes from all directions, some of which were extremely obscene.
Then we can only rely on Lina's incomplete memory to recognize people.
She looked out the window and recalled for a while: "I don't know him."
Then you are not from the research institute.
Xie Yunsui temporarily treated him as an ordinary voyeur and turned to bring up something that was inconvenient to discuss in the car: "Xavier said that the passenger flow at the Orestis Port was not very large before, but there was a long queue when we docked. There is something wrong."
This time, they came here on the east wind of the Ghost Starship, and they changed to a spaceship when they were closer to Oritis.
Xavier was obviously very happy to provide this convenience, and he diligently sent Xie Yunsui onto the spaceship and escorted him for a distance.
The little bee came over and said, "Shopkeeper! I'm connected to the Starlink network. The signal here is much better than where we are, and there are a lot of open domain networks."
"Search for information related to Oretis." Xie Yunsui said.
Little Bee: "I've searched the entire internet, and there's currently a real-time trending topic about Oritis."
It projects the topic content onto the wall for everyone to watch.
"Looking for a ticket to Orestes' spaceship. Price is not a problem. Interested parties++++"
"I'm so pissed! Why is it so hard to apply for the Orestis route? Ahhhhh, I can't even watch my first theatrical performance after my comeback!!!"
"Don't even mention it! The three bands I'm a fan of have been announcing they're going to hold concerts in Oritis these past few days. What on earth is Oritis going to have!!!"
"Haha, is Oritis spending money on marketing again? You've forgotten all the missing persons cases that have happened in recent years, right?"
"I think the Orestis officials are getting anxious. Their downtown area is a chaotic hell. They've become even more emboldened since the bombing. Tour groups that go there never come back. Now that the incident has gotten so bad, they're running out of people. They're getting anxious and want to bring all the stars from the Federation on tour for free to boost their popularity."
"What's the deal with the downtown area closing down the upper area due to the chaos? Some people are just barking like dogs. If they can't get tickets, they're trying to scare people into refunding them, right?"
"Scare people? If you search for any news related to Orestes, you won't say such nonsense."
"By the way, doesn't anyone think the Federation is up to something lately? There's suddenly such a big commotion."
"Your Federation didn't send out the Star Navy, so you just sent out some singers and dancers?"
"Let's be honest, these celebrities knew that Oritis was always in trouble, yet they still had the audacity to stop the tour there. They really don't treat their fans as human beings, do they?"
"Heh, fans are all volunteers. Are you worried about not being invited that's why you're saying so many sarcastic things?"
"No... so many people got tickets? Why am I the only one who didn't get a tour ticket and didn't see a spaceship ticket?"
…
There is a lot of noise on Starnet, but in the end, there are only two meanings.
Many celebrities have been touring Oritis recently, and it’s a big event.
But tickets are hard to get.
Xie Yunsui raised an eyebrow: "In other words, despite the commotion, not that many people came into Oretis?"
Lina frowned: "There are quite a few people coming down from the ship port."
Those who have grabbed tickets are busy flying and probably don’t have the time to comment online.
"No, according to what these people say, the people coming here are all big stars with deep fan bases. Each of them has at least a million fans rushing to buy tickets for their concerts. With so many stars, and they don't come and go on the same day, the number of people coming to the ship port should be so large that it's packed."
Xie Yunsui pondered, "Something's wrong. Are all those coming down here really fans?"
At night, when all the lights are on, it truly becomes the night of the downtown area.
After resting for a long time, the eldest lady is finally going out to find some excitement.
Xie Yunsui followed behind Lina, who had changed into a dress, like a diligent bodyguard.
When the waiter escorted the man out, he briefly mentioned several famous taverns and the most prestigious underground boxing ring in the downtown area, and received a dozen bills.
He took the money and looked at the backs of the two people. Thinking that there were three people who came in during the day, he sighed slightly. There was someone staying in the room, so it seemed that he could not go into the room to check.
Lina went to the recommended tavern first.
As soon as I walked in, I was dazzled by the smell of alcohol and pungent cigarettes. The lights were flowing, the light was cutting, and the background music was exploding.
There was a faint smell of disgust in the air.
There were bodies huddled together and squirming inappropriately by the wall. Lina frowned and walked to the bar, ordered a drink, and naively asked where the most exciting place here was.
The bartender smiled charmingly. "Of course it's an underground boxing ring. But since it's your first time here, you can also experience our male model show. As long as you have money, we have all kinds of performances. It's guaranteed to be exciting..."
Lina sat for a while and chose a cocktail with a fiery name.
There were quite a lot of people in this pub, and Xie Yunsui stopped quite a few people just by walking past them.
Until the man who was seen leaning against the dark alley under the window during the day came in, searched the scene for a moment, and then walked straight towards Lina.
Xie Yunsui pretended to reach out to stop her, but was stopped by Lina.
She beckoned the man calmly: "Want a drink?"
The vein on Klaus' forehead jumped. He wanted to say something but held it back. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, ready to take her away.
Xie Yunsui put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Sir, you want to take people away without even saying hello?"
Klaus looked at him coldly: "What is your relationship?"
He had a critical look in his eyes, as if he had some relationship with Lina, and was calculating whether Xie Yunsui was qualified to stand by Lina's side.
Xie Yunsui: "You don't seem to have the qualifications to question our relationship."
Klaus tilted his head to look at Lena: "You said, I don't have the qualifications?"
Lina:?
What are you crazy about?
Lina pulled her hand back and said unhappily: “What qualifications do you have?”
“…”
Klaus gritted his teeth and said in a low voice amid the noisy background music, "There's no need to avoid suspicion at this time. I've been wanting to ask you for so many years..."
He slowly paused.
Lina's eyes were full of unfamiliarity. It was not a pretense of unfamiliarity, but the genuine unfamiliarity of facing a complete stranger.
Klaus: "I'm your eldest brother."
“…………”
This is ridiculous. He was trying to fish for someone and ended up fishing for his own brother?
Although he thought it was outrageous, Xie Yunsui wanted to see how outrageous it was. He signaled Lina to follow Klaus and leave, and Klaus took the two back to his residence first.
Lina's eyes paused as she saw the red fox on the coffee table.
Klaus brought each of them a bottle of water and said, "Sit down."
Lina and Xie Yunsui sat on one side. The narrow sofa couldn't accommodate another person. Klaus glared at Xie Yunsui silently and sat down opposite him. "Have you lost your memory? Is that why you haven't found your family in all these years?"
Lina smiled: “I don’t remember, you said I was your sister, do you have any evidence?”
Krause should not have had identifying information on him, such as photos or videos of his family.
But after his sister disappeared, the family tried countless times to find her but failed. He can still find information about finding relatives on the Internet.
He found the clearest photo, in which the cheerful and brightly smiling little girl and Lina were almost enlarged in equal proportions.
She hugged the half-height red fox doll tightly, obviously loving it very much.
There is a photo of a family of four. Klaus is not in it, but the father and brother have eyes and eyebrows that are somewhat similar to Klaus. There is also a space clearly separated in the photo, as if it is left empty for someone.
Lina watched quietly. Intellectually, she had no memory of this, but emotionally, she felt a sense of closeness.
Seeing that she didn't insist on denying it, Klaus knew that the blood relationship was still strong. He turned to Xie Yunsui and said, "Thank you for your family adopting her."
He saw Lina's outfit today, two bodyguards? Or servants serving her, so her material life should be pretty good.
Perhaps it was too good to be true, as he dared to travel to Oretis.
Klaus's primary goal now is to persuade his sister to leave Orestis.
He said, "Oritis has been a bit chaotic lately, with so many people around that it's easy for something to go wrong. You should go back quickly. I'll have my father contact you as soon as possible."
"Chaos?" Xie Yunsui smiled. "Is it because your Star Navy is planning to attack this place?"
The Star Navy is the general term for the Federation's army that conquers the starry sky.
Klaus narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "Star Navy? I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm just working here."
Xie Yunsui said, "I hate beating around the bush and unclear statements that lead to misunderstandings. I'm even less interested in proving whether you're a soldier or not with multiple pieces of evidence. I just want to know if you're going to wipe out all the businesses here, or if you're just planning to find the illegal reform institute?"
Klaus: "...You guys are not here for tourism?"
"Brother." Lina lifted up her skirt and lifted up her pants, revealing a pair of mechanical legs: "I'm here to settle the score."
Klaus was stunned.
-
"There have been too few people collecting lately. We are almost facing a shortage of food here."
"Alas, children these days are raised too well. They can't handle even the slightest setback. Many of them can't even handle amnesia drugs."
In the research institute rebuilt on the old site, two researchers silently complained about the physical examination reports in their hands.
However, no paper documents were left behind this time. After the relevant electronic information was uploaded to a special place, it was burned in time and the ashes were poured into the pool.
It is really complicated and you must be careful not to miss anything.
"That guy Themis... that explosion caused us so much trouble!"
"It also ruined a lot of our hard work. The quality of the subsequent batches of cyborgs was obviously not good enough."
"If quality isn't enough, we can only rely on quantity. I heard that Shangcheng District is on tour recently? There must be a lot of fans flocking from all over the planet, right?"
"Yes, the Upper City may not be good at anything else, but it does have many ways to attract people to visit Oretis."
"I hope those flies outside can be more helpful and keep an eye on some more good stuff for me."
"We can't make too much noise, in case we provoke the Punisher again..."
"Don't worry. Federation regulations prohibit interfering with the development of planets with lower-level civilizations unless there are major accidents. As long as there isn't another widespread explosion like the last one, even the Punisher won't be able to land on Orestis easily. So, I say, no other place is as safe as our old place..."
