Chapter 070: An Unbearable Past

If you can't beat the old time, you will attack him.

This simple and crude way is really her style.

Ronan let out a long sigh and read the file on Catherine's door.

Instead of ringing the doorbell, he turned and walked towards the inn.

On the way, he also called Lena.

After ringing for more than ten seconds, the phone turned out to be connected.

"What's the matter, Bruce?" came Lena's voice over the microphone.

"It's nothing, just ask what you're doing?"

"Hahaha, just say it if you think I'm going to say it, what's so shy. Lina was still the same unashamed style, paused, and said, "Aunt came just now, the amount is a bit large." Call me again if you have anything, go out and buy sanitary napkins first, mua~"

"Good. Ronan hung up the phone and walked downstairs to the inn.

It seems that after Lao Guangyun peeped at the two of them in the secret room, he didn't attack her.

Entering this small inn that did not require a document check, Ronan opened a room and entered the bathroom to take a shower.

Now, in addition to squatting on the toilet, when taking a bath, the thinking will be clearer.

Old Time said that Catherine's current death was early, and she lived with her father.

Her father was secretly preparing a birthday present, and it must have been some kind of misunderstanding that led her to kill someone.

So Catherine's secret is that she killed her biological father by mistake due to a misunderstanding?

[Do you want to enter the simulated world?]

"Clams?"

The hot water in the bathroom poured on his head, and the corners of Ronan's mouth twitched when he heard the system's prompt.

Stealth?!

Isn't this one of the abilities that the majority of male compatriots want to have?

As if sensing the gaze of the void, Ronan shook his head.

What transparent world, stealth play, I don't know anything.

Due to the mist generated by the hot water in the bathroom, he felt the warm touch of the hot water on his body, and he did not rush into the simulated situation.

In other words, how could Old Time know Catherine's secret?

Could it be that she was also involved?

After the strategy, think about it carefully, Catherine's secret difficulty should not be so high.

Maybe it's because of her special abilities and her strict tone that she has a particularly high rating?

In addition, there is one thing that Ronan is a little concerned about.

It seems that only heroines with special abilities, such as Catherine and Lena, are at the + level?

Whether this is the case or not, more heroines are needed to corroborate.

Wipe the water off his body with a towel, and Ronan lies comfortably on the bed.

"Enter the simulated situation. ”

Familiar recipes, familiar tastes.

As she plunged into the boundless darkness in front of her, she opened her eyes again, and it was already Catherine's first perspective.

Gradually his vision became clearer, and Ronan was able to see his surroundings clearly.

As far as the eye can see, it is an ordinary house.

The skin of the wall looks like it has been experienced by an earthquake, and it has fallen off in many places, and it looks very old.

As you move your gaze, you can see that there is not much furniture in the house.

A two-metre-high wardrobe, a wooden desk, two chairs and a one-metre-high dresser.

Compared with the decoration of Lena's house, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shabby.

I really don't know where she got the money from when the decoration of her current residence is so good,

Catherine's perspective looks at the desk, where a picture frame sits in the upper right corner.

The picture in the frame is a beautiful young woman, who is supposed to be her mother.

After a minute, Catherine left the room, her eyes beginning to wander out of the room.

The door is a very ordinary wooden door, the wood grain is clearly visible, and the lower left corner is missing a palm-sized piece.

Walking into the living room, there are more than a dozen brown wine bottles on the floor.

Some bottles were poured, and the liquid inside left yellowing marks on the rough floor.

A middle-aged man with thinning hair collapsed on the sofa, no snoring, and slept deeply.

Catherine's gaze looked at the middle-aged man, interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Knock knock!" a man's voice came from outside the door: "Bobby, open the door!"

Her eyes looked out the door and then at the man on the couch, standing still.

"Knock knock!"

This time, the door was slammed a little harder: "Bobby, open the door, I know you're inside!"

Catherine tiptoed over, and through the narrow crack in the wooden door, she could see a middle-aged man with a sharp beak standing outside the door.

Seeing that no one answered, the man looked in through the pale yellow window next to her, and saw her, "Hey, Catherine, where's Bobby?"

Catherine shook her head: "He's not here. ”

"No, okay. The man shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "Isn't this guy going to sleep on the street again......?"

With that, his triangular eyes glanced at Catherine: "If you see your father, tell him that it's almost time to pay back." ”

Catherine replied very tactfully: "Okay." ”

When the man was gone, she returned to the couch and stared at the man with a scruffy beard and drooling water.

......

The screen turns.

With just one look, Ronan could tell that this wasn't Catherine's home.

A red flame danced in the fireplace, and in front of her was a middle-aged woman with a kind face.

She looked to be in her thirties and forties, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes could no longer hide the traces of the erosion of time.

A pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses indicates that eyesight may not be very good.

She had a blanket over her legs, and her palms reached over to touch Catherine's head.

"Aunt Oliver, are you leaving?"

"Yes, I'm moving to Manhattan with you Uncle Oliver. ”

Due to the spread of masculinism, such customs are practiced in many parts of the United States.

When a wife gets married, she adds her husband's surname to the end of her name.

Therefore, this kind of title is not brother and sister, but husband and wife.

Wait, Oliver?

Ronan remembered Catherine's last name and seemed to understand something.

"Okay. Catherine stared at her toes, looking very well-behaved.

Just then, a man in his forties walked in.

He was a little thin and kidney-defined, and smiled at Catherine.

Aunt Oliver winked at the man, who shook his head.

After a while of squirming with each other, the man looked embarrassed and turned to leave the room.

Aunt Oliver glanced at the man's back, a little complaining.

Catherine looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Oliver smiled a little reluctantly, put her hands on Catherine's shoulders, and looked her in the eyes: "That's the case, Catherine, we all know the situation in your family. If you keep living with Poppy's rotten drunkard, the rest of your life will be ruined. By the way, we're moving to New York next week, do you want to come with us?"

"Aunt Oliver, you...... What do you mean by that?"

"Hey. The middle-aged woman sighed: "That...... Ahem, your uncle has some health problems, and we have never had children. If you want, we can take you to live in New York and treat you like your own daughter. Of course, you don't have to worry about identity, Oliver still has some connections in the bureau that can give you a new identity. ”

Catherine's vision, locked on the face of the woman in front of her, was speechless.

......
