Chapter 169 Interstellar Orphan (28)
"We are not related by blood, so strictly speaking, Qiuqiu is not my biological sister..."
Doon's clear voice echoed in the cave.
"But I took care of her from birth to when she was four years old. Since she has always called me brother, as long as she comes back, I will treat her as my sister as before."
The people around looked at each other in confusion.
Shisui also immediately understood where the strange sense of alienation from Du En came from - after all, they were not relatives, so it was natural for an adult man and a young girl to maintain an appropriate physical distance.
In this respect, his behavior is quite gentlemanly.
Du En then explained that Qiu Qiu was actually the child of one of the former high-ranking leaders of "Ghost Wing".
But her biological father is a complete bastard with a very chaotic private life. He only cares about sowing seeds and is irresponsible.
The biological mother is not much better, she is dissolute and addicted to drugs.
Qiuqiu has never enjoyed the love of her mother and father.
Her biological parents were too lazy to raise the child, and after several twists and turns, the responsibility of raising her was inexplicably put in the hands of Duen, who was only 12 years old at the time and was still a child in the narrow sense.
Anyway, he is a thug of "Ghost Wing", and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with helping the leader take care of a child.
Duen himself was sold here by his family to pay off debts. We can't say that he is great, but he also has simple sympathy for lonely children.
So Du En acted as both father and mother, taking care of Qiuqiu like a younger sister until she was four years old.
It was not until the space peacekeeping force came with great momentum to arrest people that Duan En, knowing that the conditions on the WT27 asteroid were terrible and the prospects were worrying, and he also believed the other party's lie that they would provide humanitarian assistance to war refugees, that he entrusted Qiu Qiu to the enemy.
Later, there was the well-known Big Bang, and the underground city underwent earth-shaking changes. Du En survived and became the leader of the survivors. He never mentioned to others that he had raised Qiu Qiu...
There are too many things to deal with every day, even survival is an extreme problem. Who has the leisure to reminisce about the past?
That's good.
Shisui was originally worried that Duen was hiding some conspiracy.
Qiuqiu insisted on traveling thousands of miles to find her relatives. If she found trouble, it would be too pitiful.
Although my brother’s identity is fake now, judging from the current situation, at least he has good intentions.
...After Du En finished his speech, the conference room was silent for a long time.
Finally, an old man broke the silence: "Even if this girl was once a member of our underground city, it has been so many years. To be cautious, we still need to thoroughly investigate her true origins and purpose."
Everyone agreed.
"Yes, taking someone in is a small matter, but who knows if she will attract the pursuit of the universe peacekeeping force?"
"Don't blame me for conspiracy theories. Maybe the enemy deliberately sent them here to spy on us. Have we been exposed?"
Under pressure from public opinion, Du En promised everyone, "Don't worry. Since everyone trusts me as the city lord, I will also put everyone's safety first. I just talked to Qiuqiu, but she's a little emotional. I will ask her about it later."
The expression on his face was very solemn.
To be honest, not only the bystanders, but even he himself had some lingering questions about this sudden arrival of his sister...
…
The discussion is over.
Dunn walked out of the meeting room with everyone else.
Shisui hid at the corner. After everyone had left, she came out from the corner and quietly walked back to her room.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw...Duen standing upright inside!
His deformed, round right arm looked exceptionally strong.
this……
"Brother, why are you here? I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk..."
Shi Sui tried her best to imitate Qiu Qiu's coquettish tone.
The tilde in the middle means she worked very hard.
But it was of no use.
Du En sighed and looked straight at Shi Sui: "...Qiuqiu, you are not going to tell me the truth, right?"
"What truth?" Shi Sui tilted her head, still pretending to be ignorant.
Du En pursed his lips, and after hesitating for several times, he finally made up his mind and asked.
"According to the patrol, you encountered Granny on your way in. She's the mentally challenged old woman with three arms... She's actually quite skilled with a gun. You were able to escape unscathed, yet you kept crying and slurring your words in front of me. That doesn't make sense."
My brother's question really hit the point.
No matter how much Shisui imitates Qiuqiu's speech, she cannot hide the gap between her tearful nature and her actual combat ability.
Shisui shrugged and said, "Brother, I have a dual personality. One retains the nature of my childhood. The other one is calmer, and it was developed to resist the control of the base."
This statement cannot be considered a lie.
It is true that there are two personalities in one body, but they are not split from Qiuqiu...
Doon was visibly stunned.
He stared with his eyes wide open for a long time without responding.
Now that things have come to this, Shisui won't be polite anymore.
"Actually, before I came here, I never thought you were still alive. Brother, tell me what happened 12 years ago? The people and information I found in the space peacekeeping force all say that everyone who should die here is dead."
Du En frowned and thought for a while before calling his sister: "I'll take you somewhere and we'll talk while we walk."
He didn't completely believe his sister's "dual personality" statement, but he felt that the joy revealed in her clear eyes when she first met Qiuqiu was sincere.
Next, it depends on whether she will reveal any flaws.
