Chapter 382 Deep Virtual Reality 210
“You’re quite the expert.” Xie Ning picked up a small, precise part from the corner; it was specifically designed to connect to the outer shell of a small thruster.
"When I get old, I often think about the things I learned when I was young when I have nothing to do."
Grandma Tian comes from a well-off family and graduated from a top university when she was young. However, she suffered many misfortunes and has fallen on hard times. Even so, she is still much better off than most people.
"Did you make those hidden weapons yourself?" The explosive power was strong, and the speed was fast. If she hadn't been sensitive enough and fast enough, her chest would probably have been pierced through.
Speaking of this, Grandma Tian's face paled, and she said with lingering fear, "Grandma didn't mean it, I didn't know you were Xiaoguai..."
She could be fierce to anyone, but Xie Ning was different. Even though Tian Xixi was a child she had taken in, Xie Ning was the one who accompanied her through the most difficult period.
The child needs her care, so she cannot die. She also needs the emotional comfort the child provides. Whenever she falls into self-loathing and has a splitting headache, she can only regain her senses by leaning against that nutrient tank.
At that time, she needed a source of motivation to live, and Xie Ning's disappearance became her obsession.
“I don’t mean to blame you. It’s good that you’re wary.” Xie Ning waved his hand and continued, “I’m just interested in what you’re doing because I also graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering.”
Grandma Tian's eyes lit up, and she pulled Xie Ning aside to start a discussion. The two became more and more engrossed in their conversation, completely forgetting about Tian Xixi, who was locked in her room and too afraid to come out.
Unable to hear any sound from outside for a long time, Tian Xixi paced anxiously back and forth. Finally, she collapsed onto the bed full of dolls, hugging the largest one and howling, "Susu, Susu, should I peek out? There's no sound outside, I'm so scared!"
It's unclear whether Xie Ning killed her grandmother or her grandmother killed Xie Ning.
Although the tension between the two seemed to have eased considerably when they came in, and the palpable killing intent had dissipated, she still couldn't shake off her unease!
"Xi Xi".
The phantom of a long-haired man in ancient costume was projected from the ceiling. His shimmering eyes were fixed on the little girl whose eyes were red. His slender fingers curled up, as if he wanted to wipe away her tears.
"Can you tell me what's bothering you?" The touch was completely intangible, but Tian Xixi felt a warmth in her heart.
Then he took the motion sensor, put it on, and threw himself into the phantom's arms, stammering out what had just happened.
"Don't panic if something happens. If a dangerous person breaks into your home, you should immediately notify the security bureau and seek help from security personnel."
Should I call the police for you?
"No, no need."
She didn't know the specifics yet, so she couldn't call the police casually, lest it become a false alarm. The main problem was that her grandmother hadn't given her any hints, which left her feeling somewhat lost.
Oh, right, there are security cameras at home!
Tian Xixi then realized that she was really slow-witted. It must be because her grandmother had scolded her for being dull since she was a child that she wasn't so quick-witted.
After searching every corner of the house without finding the two people, Tian Xixi was so frightened that she ran out wearing only one shoe and bumped into two people coming out of a room not far away.
The three looked at each other, and the atmosphere between Xie Ning and Grandma Tian was not tense at all, but rather somewhat harmonious.
"Grandma, Grandma, are you done talking?"
"Yes, this is your sister, Xie Ning. Show her around the house, and I'll make dinner for you."
Tian Xixi rubbed her eyes, feeling like she was dreaming. It was one thing for a sister to suddenly appear out of nowhere, but her grandmother's mouth never turned up, and with her somewhat fierce appearance, everyone was afraid of her.
The children in the neighborhood would avoid her. No child had ever dared to bully her since she started kindergarten, all because of her formidable grandmother.
I never expected to actually laugh today!
And she's smiling so gently! It's so hard for her to watch! Did Grandma eat some laugh candy? Is she unable to control the muscles around her mouth?
Tian Xixi almost stumbled to Xie Ning's side, her left foot twisting and her right foot falling onto the sofa, her only shoe flying off.
How embarrassing...
Xie Ning watched as the illusory figure tried to catch Tian Xixi's hands, but they passed right through her body. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She herself didn't play games, at most she would watch press conferences. She didn't expect that game characters nowadays had such simple thoughts.
"Are you alright, Xixi?"
Hearing the illusory voice, Tian Xixi finally stopped pretending to be an ostrich, raised her head and gave Xie Ning an awkward smile, "You, Miss, your name is Xie Ning, can I call you Sister Ning?"
"Can."
Xie Ning poured a glass of water and handed it to Tian Xixi, saying, "Drink some water to soothe your throat." Her lips were so dry they were peeling.
I was supposed to be the one hosting them, but instead, the guests ended up hosting me instead.
"Sister Ning, what's this 'sister' that Grandma was talking about? Could it be that you are...?" Tian Xixi suddenly widened her eyes. "You're the granddaughter Grandma's been looking for?"
Xie Ning nodded without saying much. She didn't know how much Tian Xixi knew about the inside story, so it was better to wait for Grandma Tian to explain it to her.
