Chapter Eighty-Seven: Quark's Child
The step I just wanted to take was fixed in the next second.
Deceive me, calculate me, am I not angry? Angry, of course.
He must be taught a lesson.
Thinking about this, I rubbed my aching knees, and Shi Shiran lay back on the bed, closing my eyes and preparing to sleep.
As for the boyfriend who understands the style of painting more and more......
Hehe.
ββ
Early the next morning.
I was woken up by Kwon Ji-mi.
She covered her mouth and said in surprise, "You weren't with 888 last night?" β
I rubbed my eyes, stretched, and said angrily, "What, you're disappointed?" β
I glanced at her and retorted, "You're not with Jones?" Spending last night's dessert time? β
Kwon Ji-mi was obviously still too young, and immediately turned red, "Don't talk nonsense! We...... We just really had the dessert! β
Saying that, the heartless girl licked her lips, "Don't say it, Jones does have a hand in making desserts." β
Me: "......"
Forget it, it doesn't make sense to talk to guys who only know how to eat.
I got up and got off the ground, the pain coming from the bend of my knee was a reminder of what had happened last night, and I frowned, "I ask you, and you have to answer truthfully." β
Kwon Ji-mi looked at me and said with a smile, "Then I don't necessarily know." β
I looked serious, "I'm serious. β
Kwon Ji-mi looked at me, as if aware of what I was about to ask, and gradually lost her expression.
She sighed, "Yes, you ask, I have no position to refuse." And...... I don't want to lose you as a friend. β
What does it mean that she has no position to refuse?
I pondered again and again, and said, "888 is not a system, it's an interstellar human, right?" He is also a citizen of the Federation? β
"Yes and no." Kwon Ji-mi shook her head, her expression complicated.
I frowned, "What's going on, make it clear." β
Kwon Ji-mi looked at me for a long time, and no longer pretended to be crazy and stupid, as if she was assessing the credibility of my friend.
I waited patiently and didn't rush her.
Kwon Ji-mi smiled relievedly, "Okay, but I can only tell you what I know and what I think I can tell you." After allβ"
She stroked her hair and smiled ambiguously, "I'm still waiting for you to be my sister-in-law!" β
I looked up in shock, "You ......"
Kwon Ji-mi nodded frankly, "Yes, 888 is my brother, or rather, he doesn't call 888, that's just a code name he casually called." β
I've thought of countless possibilities, but I've never thought of this one!
"As for his identity...... Kwon Ji-mi half-closed his eyelids, "I can only tell you that he, and I am not a citizen of the Federation." β
Not a federal citizen?
In the interstellar era, the Federation and the Empire were divided, not citizens of the Federation, but citizens of the Empire?
But why did the people of the Empire go all the way to bring me into the game world?
Kwon Ji-mi seemed to see what I was thinking, and shook her head, "It's not a citizen of the empire, in short, we are special, I think it's better not to tell you, not because I don't believe you, but because I don't want to cause you trouble." β
Can you give me a troublesome identity? So what could it be?
I snorted, "You've already caused me enough trouble, and you're afraid of that?" β
Kwon Ji-mi returned to her usual grinning appearance and stopped me affectionately, "I know you're the best!" So I'll tell you everything I can say, okay? Don't be angry, and don't blame my brother! β
I glanced at her, "Then hurry up and don't be sloppy here." β
"Hmm......" Kwon Ji-mi said, "Sister, do you know the 'child of Quark'?" β
I was shocked.
Quark's child! How could I not have known this!
I was even one of the victims!
After human history entered the interstellar world, it experienced the first wars and divisions, and finally formed the current situation: the empire and the federation stood side by side. In order to obtain more planets and other resources, human beings began to expand and constantly crusade, and wars broke out constantly.
There is one sentence that best describes people: history teaches mankind only one thing, and that is that they will never learn the lessons of history.
According to the chip, human beings were forced to leave the earth because of excessive resource exploitation and finally nuclear war due to the grabbing of resources. But here, in the interstellar age, humanity is repeating the same mistakes again.
The competition for resources between the Confederation and the Empire brought with it heavy taxes and military service, and of course, the corresponding military power became larger and the military technology became more advanced.
Among them, the Federation, which has reached the level of "quark" in the use of matter, began to use new types of "quark weapons". This weapon is capable of attacking unnoticed by enemy armies, and is extremely fast and powerful.
Therefore, the Federation has obtained a treasure and has begun to use this weapon on a large scale.
At first, people were unaware of the dangers of this weapon, but later, more and more descendants of military families began to develop corresponding diseases, which were almost always manifested in the form of inability to move, not even the ability to move a finger, but at the same time the consciousness was awake and the mental power was not depleted.
As if the "living dead".
This is the catastrophe of war!
The growing number of illnesses arose among the countless families of military personnel in the Federation and the Empire who had been exposed to quark weapons, with catastrophic consequences: there are thousands of known quark patients and growing, and no one knows how many people are really sick.
Because quark disease has a long or short incubation period, the onset of the disease is uncertain, and there is no way to pinpoint it β or rather, people know little about it, let alone treat it.
People call the patients of this disease "quark children", as if this would make the bloody facts seem warmer.
Kwon Ji-mi has a bright smile on her face, but there are tears in her eyes.
I breathed a breath and said, "You ......"
"Seven," she said, comparing the word "seven" and tugging at the corners of her mouth, "I'm Quark's child, and I'm 25 years old now." Eighteen years is enough for a healthy child to grow into an adult. β
My eyes were red.
Kwon Ji-mi hugged me, wiped away tears with the back of her hand, and smiled brightly.
"Don't cry, I didn't want you to cry."
"My parents used to be military. So you know why I was so excited when I first met you? β
"Because, I can finally move, finally I don't have to clearly feel the fact that I am lying in bed like a dead man, I can finally see others, I can have friends, I can see this world of flowers."
"So, I really appreciate you, and I'm grateful that the friend I met for the first time was you."
Kwon Ji-mi's expression was soft, "So, even if I'm sorry for you, even if I know it's shameless, I want to be forgiven by my first friend, I ......"
"I don't want to be hated by you."
