Chapter 153 Interstellar Orphan (13)
"Oh, so you know my number."
Shisui climbed the exhaust pipe for a long time and was tired, so she wanted to find a place to sit down.
But in the small dormitory, the only place to sit was the sofa where Vincent had just sat.
Thinking of what he did up there...Tokiho would rather sit cross-legged on the cold ground.
Shisui was not polite at all and treated this place like her own home.
But Vincent was going crazy.
"Aren't you an experimental subject? How do you have permission to come here... No, how did you get in?!!"
"Calm down, calm down..." Facing his barrage of questions, Shisui smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry to have disturbed you while you were working. I apologize first."
Vincent blushed, wrapped the blanket tighter around his waist, and picked up a coat to put on.
Outside the conference room that day, Shisui deliberately made eye contact with him three times, and it was hard for him not to notice her.
Especially since Fox was killed on the spot in the conference room, but the experimental machine with him was found to be intact... That day, Vincent began to inquire about Shi Sui's origins in a low-key manner.
"Are you here for revenge? I haven't had anything to do with you in all these years. Your visit to me can only be related to the WT27 asteroid, right?"
Although Vincent's military rank is not high, he has been in the army for many years and is considered a veteran.
He guessed half right about Shisui's purpose.
Shisui took out a scalpel and played with it in her hand, her eyes shining sharply.
"If I really wanted revenge, I wouldn't have taken your holographic helmet. I would have just killed you."
Vincent shrugged. "To avoid any misunderstanding, let me explain myself. You are the first and last war refugee I brought aboard the warship."
Shisui blinked and said nothing, giving him time to finish his words.
"When I participated in the 'Ghost Wing' eradication operation, I had just joined the army and had no idea that some refugees would be sent to be used as experimental subjects..."
Vincent's mumbling sounded a bit like a confession.
"Twelve years ago on the WT27 asteroid, I took in a total of six war refugees, including you. You're probably the only one who survived..."
Within the space peacekeeping force, a lot of information is not circulated.
Vincent naively believed that all those who received aid would be sent to various bases to serve as logistics personnel, frontline soldiers, or sent to designated receiving countries for proper resettlement.
Later he found out that after he handed the person over to the relevant person in charge, they would first conduct a round of screening.
Those who are strong and have a certain background will receive better arrangements, and after receiving benefits, these people will also work hard to publicize how noble and great the "humanitarian assistance" of the space peacekeeping force is.
However, war refugees like Tokiho and the thousands of experimental subjects imprisoned in this base are forced to "hide their identities" in the vast universe and live a short and lonely life with a number.
"It was indeed me who brought you aboard the warship and handed you over to my superiors, but you can't blame me," Vincent muttered to himself, somewhat agitatedly. "I was just a small soldier. How could I dare to confront such a large force? And after learning that you were ultimately sent to be used as a test subject, I never dared to rescue anyone again."
This is just an ordinary person.
They are kind-hearted, but also selfish, and they are afraid of power and responsibility.
So after more than ten years, he was still just a small lieutenant.
Shisui put away the scalpel and stated her purpose directly: "Don't worry, I'm not here to embarrass you. I just want to know what kind of existence the 'Ghost Wing' criminal group is on the WT27 asteroid."
Vincent took a deep breath and said, "The situation back then was actually quite bad..."
The "Ghost Wing" criminal group is actually a gangster organization.
They occupied the WT27 asteroid with an extreme climate and built a simple underground city, using it as a base to engage in illegal trafficking of weapons, medicines, and people.
For money, you can do anything.
"The WT27 asteroid is close to a black hole, and the environment is already harsh. They've also built several chemical reactors in the underground city to extract rare metals for sale. Plus, they're more interested in money than lives... Of course, there's no way to implement safety measures."
Vincent still feels a lingering fear when he recalls the past.
"Back then, when our army stormed the underground city, we saw a devastated mess. Many people had suffered deformities and disabilities due to radiation leaks... I also heard that some children were born as monsters and died within a few days. You, for making it to the age of four, are truly a miracle..."
How ironic.
Even though she survived tenaciously, her body was still destroyed by the space peacekeeping force that "rescued" her.
Shi Sui frowned: "Then who handed me over to you?"
"He should be your brother, that's what he calls himself anyway. A young boy who works as an errand boy for 'Ghost Wing'."
Vincent's narration was almost identical to the memories Tokiho had extracted from the girl.
But if this is true, why can't we find his information in the database?
"After you killed the group's leader, where did the rest of the people go?" Shisui asked Vincent, "Where is my brother?"
Vincent scratched his head: "They should... all be dead..."
After the space peacekeeping force dealt with the designated high-level officials, reported and showed off, they sent people to destroy these core facilities in order to prevent the chemical reactors in the underground city from being used again.
"The researchers used a fixed-point, timed method to detonate the reactor, but something unexpected must have happened during the process... triggering a chain reaction that affected the entire dungeon. If the troops and warships hadn't already left the planet's surface, we wouldn't have been spared either."
Vincent tried to persuade Shisui kindly.
"Given the intensity of the explosion, I don't think anyone would be able to survive..."
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the commander of that battle classified the incident as a reactor explosion and deleted all the personnel information of the "Ghost Wing" collected during the battle, directly erasing this part of history.
Anyway, they are all defeated gangsters and bandits, and no one cares about their lives.
Since then, few people have set foot on the radiation-filled WT27 asteroid.
That place has become a dead star.
After hearing this, Shisui roughly understood the whole story of that year.
In that case...where should she go?
