Huo Yushen sat down in front of the middle-aged woman, nodded and said, "Good morning, mother."
This woman was Huo Yushen's mother, She Zhuyin.
She raised her head and looked at Huo Yushen with a smile: "Yushen, when did you come back?"
She Zhuyin was wearing a simple and low-key, but well-fitting sky-blue trouser suit, with a plain morning coat draped over it.
Her skin is snow-white, her hair is like crow feathers, and her eyes are deep, as if she can see through people's hearts.
In the bright morning light, you can see a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which bloom when she smiles.
Her smile is beautiful, yet contains an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.
Huo Yushen said, "I came back from the Imperial Palace Square after midnight."
She Zhuyin changed the news page and said as she read, "I've slept for twelve hours and it's already noon. You can order food."
Huo Yushen poured himself a glass of unicorn milk and said to the robot chef that glided over, "Give me two servings of bacon, two servings of shrimp rolls and sturgeon fillets from Guzanghai, and four servings of olive oil pancakes baked with vegetarian flour."
The robot uttered a dull electronic voice, "Okay, Master. A-A will prepare two servings of bacon, two servings of shrimp rolls and sturgeon fillets from Guzanghai, and four servings of olive oil pancakes baked with vegetarian flour. A-A would like to remind you that this lunch contains a whopping 8,000 calories. Please exercise regularly to avoid calorie accumulation and conversion to fat."
Huo Yushen looked at She Zhuyin across from him expressionlessly: "Mother, was this calorie reminder added by you?"
She Zhuyin said seriously, "My weight has fluctuated a lot recently. I've gained 300 grams, which is a very dangerous trend. So I added a command to the housework robot program to remind me of my calorie intake and expenditure at all times."
Huo Yushen: "..."
His voice was slightly cold: "300 grams? Could it be an error on the scale?"
"The error range of the scale should be around ten grams. If the error reaches three hundred grams, it is a defective product." She Zhuyin's voice was as calm and leisurely as ever.
Huo Yushen took a sip of unicorn milk and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to talk about this topic.
She Zhuyin finished reading all the news and also finished her lunch.
She asked the housework robot to make her a cup of hazelnut coffee, stirring it slowly with a small silver spoon, and suddenly asked: "...How long will it take before I can see...her?"
She sat there, her elegant figure revealing an indescribable loneliness in the midday morning light.
Huo Yushen didn't say anything, but looked at the green courtyard outside the restaurant's entire glass wall.
The winter sunshine is as soft as silk, dancing on the tips of the tender green grass.
Seeing that Huo Yushen had no intention of talking, She Zhuyin pursed her lips and asked, "Did you find any clues when you went to Guiyuan Star this time?"
Huo Yushen lowered his eyes, opened the virtual display screen, and showed a picture to She Zhuyin.
That was a picture he drew with the mechanical intelligence based on Xia Chujian's memories.
The girl was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, her forehead covered by thick bangs that covered her eyebrows.
The delicate oval face makes people feel very weak and innocent.
The clothes on her right shoulder were pulled open, revealing her snow-white skin.
On her skin, as white as fresh snow, there was a hideous red mark, which was the mark left by being whipped by a belt.
The details of this picture are very good, even the row of thick eyelashes that look like eyeliner are depicted in detail.
She Zhuyin's hand, which was debugging the news page on the virtual display screen, suddenly froze.
She looked at the picture as if still, like a sculpture.
After a long while, he slowly asked, "...Is this...her?"
Huo Yushen nodded: "According to the clues we have, this is... my sister."
She Zhuyin stretched out a snow-white hand and gently touched the virtual screen, as if she was really caressing the girl's tender cheeks.
She murmured, "...Who was it? Who beat her like this?"
Huo Yushen said in a cold voice: "A human trafficker has been shot dead."
She Zhuyin hummed, then calmly asked, "Does this human trafficker have any family?"
Huo Yushen: "..."
He shook his head. "These human traffickers are all desperate criminals. Either their entire families are wiped out, or they've long since cut off all ties with their families. And..."
He paused, then continued, "But this human trafficker was beaten so badly that he was practically reduced to a pile of skin."
As he spoke, he also pulled out the picture of the dead species.
She Zhuyin stared at it for a while, then said calmly, "That's not bad. There are more and more of these disgusting things now..."
Huo Yushen knew that she was referring to the remains of the remaining species scattered around in the photo.
He said calmly, "...Since that passage was opened, we can't be the only ones going there to reap the benefits without the other side getting in at all, right?"
She Zhuyin didn't care.
Her gaze fell on the unconscious girl again, and she said thoughtfully, "...Where on earth did she go? You must find her quickly and take good care of her."
Huo Yushen said: "We were a step too late. She was rescued by someone. We are investigating who rescued her."
"Is it difficult to check?"
"The other party acted with meticulous precision, using ruthless tactics. They mercilessly eliminated anyone who had seen my sister or was involved in the abduction. Even within the Special Security Bureau, someone was colluding with this mastermind, delaying our arrival by ten minutes, missing the opportunity. That person was immediately reported for corruption, and then committed suicide, consuming the entire family."
