The lord of the Black Tower Fortress was wearing a full-coverage protective shield, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, and his face was not visible.
He sat on a high main seat, and next to him stood a short-haired girl with a mechanical prosthesis on her right arm, wearing a transparent protective shield and with an indifferent expression.
"Lord, we meet again!" Carl greeted the Lord warmly. "This time, you have to bring out the best goods!"
The castle lord just nodded coldly.
It seemed like Carl was putting his hot face on someone else's cold butt without realizing it.
It’s good to be insensitive, as you will always be happy.
The girl with the mechanical prosthetic limb took Gu Huaiwei and others to the guest room to wait.
On the way, the girl's gaze was always on Gu Huaiwei.
That look was too deliberate. Gu Huaiwei noticed the girl's hesitation and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The girl with the robotic arm stared at Gu Huaiwei's face and frowned slightly. A hint of resentment appeared on her originally indifferent face.
"Why are you pretending not to know me?"
“…” Gu Huaiwei didn’t know what to say for a moment.
The girl with the mechanical prosthetic limb seemed to have recognized the wrong person.
Bai Niao pretended to be obedient. He lowered his head and followed behind, but in fact he opened his blue eyes and secretly watched Gu Huaiwei's reaction.
Because Gu Huaiwei didn't answer, the girl seemed even more unhappy.
She kept a straight face and quickened her pace as she walked forward.
Reception room.
"Drink some water." The girl with the robotic arm poured a glass of cloudy boiled water and placed it in front of Gu Huaiwei unhappily, causing a few drops of water to splash out. "This place is on the ground, and there's only this kind of water. There's no jasmine tea that you like."
Jasmine tea is my sister's taste.
This girl with the robotic arm should be an old acquaintance of my sister.
Gu Huaiwei handed the glass of water to Qianxia, and then invited the girl with the robotic arm to go out and talk alone.
In a long and dark spiral corridor, Gu Huaiwei leaned against the edge of the steel railing, with a three-hundred-meter-deep open space behind her.
"You didn't say anything just now, so why are you here alone with me now?"
The girl with the robotic arm seemed to have lost her temper, her tone filled with complaints, "You didn't want me before, and now you're pretending not to know me. In your eyes, what am I?"
Gu Huaiwei felt the wind whistling past the Black Tower Fortress. She turned to look at the girl with the mechanical arm and asked, "Have we met before?"
"Aren't you Gu Changge?"
The girl with the mechanical arm glanced at Gu Huaiwei warily, and when she realized she might have recognized the wrong person, her tone instantly turned cold.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes showing resistance.
"If you are not her, then we have nothing to say."
Gu Huaiwei chuckled, took off her glasses gracefully, and lifted her bangs to reveal her eyes full of sharp light.
Unlike Gu Changge's gentle eyes, her eyes were like a hunting night cat, flashing with smart light, and with a bit of wildness and danger.
She said, "I'm looking for Gu Changge too."
Similar face, different person.
The girl with the mechanical arm looked at Gu Huaiwei and froze for a moment. Surprise flashed in her eyes. "Who are you...?"
"Family." Gu Huaiwei said concisely.
Hearing these two words, the mechanical girl's defensive expression instantly relaxed, and sadness appeared on her face: "So, you are the family that Gu Changge has been thinking about..."
Gu Huaiwei softened her tone: "Tell me about your past."
The girl with the robotic arm's voice trembled slightly, her eyes revealing some reluctance and complex emotions, "More than a year ago, Gu Changge said he wanted to leave here.
I begged her to take me with her, but she said…she couldn’t take anyone else with her where she was going.”
Gu Huaiwei listened in silence.
Perhaps it was because Gu Huaiwei and Gu Changge looked too similar, which made the girl with the robotic arm, who looked a little cold, become a chatterbox when she recalled the past.
The girl looked down at her robotic arm, which was made for her by Gu Changge. In her cruel past, Gu Changge was a light that warmed her life.
"Black Spiral Research Institute, have you ever been there?
That is your sister's property.
She built such a huge business there, and in the end, she wanted nothing and left alone.”
The voice of the girl with the mechanical arm was filled with incomprehension and loss. "Why? She could have it all."
Gu Huaiwei frowned slightly: "The Black Spiral Research Institute was founded by my sister?"
This was beyond Gu Huaiwei's expectations.
Xiao Youqi and Qian Duoduo discussed privately about selling Gu Huaiwei's personal information to the Black Spiral Research Institute.
Plus the matter of Scar Woman.
Gu Huaiwei had a very bad impression of this organization.
The girl with the robotic arm nodded. "Yes! Isn't the little boy you brought today a volunteer from the Black Spiral Research Institute? The sun cross symbol on his face was designed by your sister herself."
Gu Huaiwei glanced towards the guest room with a subtle look. The tattoo was indeed a trouble. It seemed that the newly hired doorman also had a lot of things hidden in his mind.
The girl with the robotic arm's eyes glowed slightly with reminiscence, and her tone softened, as if she had returned to the days of struggling with Gu Changge: "The sun represents light and hope, and the cross represents salvation.
Your sister established the Black Spiral Research Institute to find an antidote to radiation through scientific experiments, to help those affected by radiation and bring them hope of life."
"It does seem like something a sister would do."
In Gu Huaiwei's impression, her sister is very gentle to everyone.
My sister has sponsored many impoverished students, regularly participates in charity events, provides free business training to other companies, and even feeds stray dogs a couple of pieces of meat when she sees them on the street...
My sister is a light to many people.
After the Gu family went bankrupt, those who had received favors from the elder sister not only did not feel sad about her disappearance, but instead came to ask Gu Huaiwei if the previous support could continue?
Gu Huaiwei is not so tolerant.
She scolded those ungrateful people and blocked them all.
The girl with the robotic arm was full of admiration and nostalgia for Gu Changge. She clasped her hands together and spoke excitedly as if she was talking about her idol.
"Gu Changge really brought hope to many people.
The inhibitor is the first phase result of the Black Helix Institute.
Under her leadership, the institute was developing in a positive direction.”
Gu Huaiwei asked, "And then?"
"Then... she chose to give up and left here alone."
The girl with the robotic arm lowered her head, her mood becoming depressed, her tone filled with loss and regret.
“She told me before she left that her ultimate goal was to go home.
Didn't she go back?"
Gu Huaiwei lowered her eyes for a moment and whispered to herself: "No, I lost her just like you."
