Chapter 16: Sisters

"Mom!" Hearing the doorbell, Yin Ning ran over happily. She had already spread out her homework book on the table, but she couldn't concentrate thinking that her mother was talking to a beautiful sister. Who the hell is my sister? Usually nothing can happen, and my mother never separates herself. This time, it was ...... Could it be that sister is also my mother's daughter, that is, her own biological sister!

The more Yin Ning thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, her sister and mother were very beautiful, and her sister was so gentle that she smiled at herself! If there is such a beautiful sister, she must bring it to school in the future for everyone to see, so that no classmates will say that she is a child without a father! Who said that she has no father! The teacher said that everyone has a mom and dad, but some mom and dad want to save the world, so let's go first, and when they build the boat in those secret places, everyone has to take a boat and drift, and then they can all see it!

And even if Dad isn't around, Mom is super good to herself. I don't care if I have a dad or not. Yin Ning thought.

Yin Ning picked up a small bench and put it behind the door, and then looked out through the cat's eyes. Outside was a woman with red eyes, biting her lip and her soaked hair sticking to her face.

Yin Ning hurriedly opened the door, "Sister!" she looked behind the woman, "Where's my mother?"

Xuanniao touched Yin Ning's head, not knowing what to say to her.

Yin Ning looked at the soaked hair on Xuanniao's forehead, and for a moment she had some kind of bad premonition.

"Where's my mother, sister?"

Xuanniao squatted down and held Yin Ning's pale little face. Yin Ning looked at her with an anxious face, and she realized that she had to give an explanation. She didn't want to hurt Yin Ning, but forcing Yin Ning's mother to death was already the biggest injury, and this damage was irreparable. She didn't know what kind of impact it would have if she told the truth to the little girl.

"Mom went to find Daddy," Xuanniao lied subconsciously, "When Daddy is found, they will come back together to pick you up." ”

Yin Ning quieted down. With her eyes downcast, she walked over to the wall and sat down, her long eyelashes fluttering.

"Daddy......" Yin Ning muttered, her mouth pursed tightly, and she kept fiddling with her fingers. Xuanniao brushed away her wet hair and sat down next to the little girl.

Yin Ning turned his head to look at Xuanniao, his big eyes were full of grievances, and Xuanniao couldn't help but hold the girl into his arms. The girl finally couldn't help it and cried out loud.

"Mommy doesn't want me anymore......"

"Mom didn't want you, Mom just left for a while," Xuanniao comforted the girl as she gently stroked her head.

But my mother didn't tell me...... "The girl kept crying."

Xuanniao looked at Yin Ning in her arms, and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she was snuggled in her father's arms, and she was crying like this, and she was going to find her mother, but her father had been comforting her, saying that her mother would definitely come back to see her, and that her father would always accompany her when her mother was away......

Xuanniao secretly made a decision.

"On days when mom isn't there, would it be okay to let my sister play with you?" said Xuanniao.

Yin Ning raised his head, looking at Xuanniao with red crying eyes, his face was full of tears. Seeing that she was still pouting, Xuanniao touched her head, "From today on, I will be your sister." ”

"Hmm. Yin Ning cried and agreed, buried her head in Xuanniao's chest, and hugged her tightly with two small hands.

Xuanniao leaned his head against the wall, and his head was still the back of Yin Ning's mother walking into the middle of the road step by step. The sound of the drizzling rain, the whistle of the car in the distance, the world suddenly became extremely quiet, and Xuanniao seemed to only hear the footsteps of a woman and his own heartbeat. The back kept shaking, but she walked towards the end of her life with determination and no turning back, and then she closed her eyes......

Xuanniao knew that tomorrow, the news of the woman's car accident would be reported by the city's newspapers, and then quickly spread to the ears of nearby residents, becoming the talk of the conversation after dinner. The police would have access to the surveillance footage from the time of the incident β€” she had the group disconnect the surveillance at the planned location, but not the footage of the road β€” and they would find that the woman had committed suicide. They would go to the neighborhood to investigate, to investigate the cause of the suicide, to investigate the people the woman had come into contact with during her lifetime. Of course she wasn't among them, no one knew her, but if the girl didn't leave tonight, there could be a lot of trouble.

The girl came out of her arms, and the crying gradually stopped.

"A-Ning, will my sister take you home?"

"But mom ......," said the girl.

"I told my mom that when she finds your dad, we'll go to them. ”

"Sister...... "I want to call my mother." ”

Xuanniao didn't expect this, and she hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"But I thought that since my mother hadn't told me, she wouldn't have wanted me to call her," the girl's tone was full of loss, "and my mother must have made up her mind to go to Daddy." ”

Xuanniao did not speak. She didn't know what to say.

"Finding dad must be important to mom. The girl said, "The same is true for me." I also want to have a dad. ”

Xuanniao's eyes were red. The murder of her father four years ago still seemed like yesterday, and she did not have the courage to see him for the last time at the funeral, and saw his coffin being put into an earth pit and finally buried in the ground...... She was raised by her father, and she was by her side no matter what she did from childhood to adulthood, but after her father left, she had to face everything alone. Many times she would fantasize that her father was still around, but when her father died, the fact was that he was dead.

I also want to have a dad.

That's the resemblance between her and this little girl. The girl reminded her of herself when she was a child, the difference is that she was still accompanied by her father at that time, and the girl has nothing.

Then let yourself be her loved one.

The death of the girl's mother made Xuanniao think a lot, and among the xenos she has killed over the years, not all of them are people who have committed crimes and gone unpunished, but as long as there is a slight danger of xenomorphs, the candle dragon will be handed over to her to solve. And she, through the hatred brought about by her father's death, has survived until now, and has never thought about the reason and significance of what she did.

And now, she wants to make a difference. No longer hunting xenos, no longer carrying out missions, she wants to accompany the girl to grow up on behalf of the girl's parents, and at the same time, the girl is growing up with her. Xuanniao suddenly understood the magic of fate a little - before that, they were just two people who didn't know each other, the age difference was more than ten years apart, and the distance was thousands of miles apart, but suddenly she decided to protect this girl and treat her as her own sister. One day, the girl will know the truth, she will know that she killed her mother, and one day, the girl will turn against her and raise the sword of revenge against her......

But even when she got to that point, she knew she deserved it.

"Yin An, a D-type xenomorph, has unknown abilities. ”

Xuanniao will always remember this woman, whether she is a heterogeneous or an ordinary person, she is always just an ordinary mother. As a mother, she is willing to give everything for her daughter, just as Gentori's father did for her in the first place. They should not bear prejudice, let alone be held accountable for the evils that this prejudice brings. If one day Yin Ning pointed the tip of the knife at her, she would never resist. To kill or not to kill, the decision is always in the hands of Yin Ning, her sister.

Xuanniao smiled with relief. She hadn't laughed like that in a long time. The girl had entered the room, clutching a silver-plated necklace with a silver bird hanging from itβ€”a gift from her mother in the hope that she would be able to fly like a bird forever without care.

Xuanniao stood up and touched the phoenix feather knife at his waist with his hand. This dagger was given to her by the candle dragon after entering the Chinese Language Society, and it is said that it was a feather that fell from the phoenix. Xuanniao didn't believe in these things, but she knew the meaning of the phoenix's feathers.

Nirvana reborn.

She threw the dagger to the girl's mother, and the woman, without using it, threw the knife back to her. A woman must also be a timid person, even if she has special abilities, she is still the same as ordinary people, she will be afraid of many things, dare not cut her neck with a knife, and finally choose to end her life in a car accident. She must be scared when she is going to kill her, right?

Xuanniao heard the girl's voice and said, "Sister, I'm done." ”

Xuanniao nodded, and she took the girl's hand and walked down the stairs. She has already contacted the organization, sent a helicopter, and asked the organization to deal with some aftermath. After carrying out so many tasks, the organization is probably familiar with it.

Xuan Niao and Yin Ning walked out of the building. There are no street lights on the path, only moonlight shining on the ground. The rain was still wet, reflecting a silvery white light. Xuanniao saw two slanted shadows on the ground, one large and one small, closely connected.

She didn't seem so lonely anymore.
