Chapter 7: I'll Send You Home
The elevator gate opened with a click, a girl and a child slowly walked in, and after pressing the elevator button, the gear rotated the iron cable and pulled up, and slowly led the two to the second floor.
Poplar Street, located on the first floor of Twist Street.
Coming here meant that the two of them had successfully left the range of Twist Street, and they had barely escaped from the pursuit of the Tiger Claw Gang.
"Where is your car parked?"
Lin Mo asked as he observed his body and patted the fine pieces of flesh and blood on his body.
Behind him was the fantasy-style quaint katana, the slender sword that hung diagonally from his back almost as tall as half his body.
Lin Mo couldn't do anything about it.
There is no way to put anything back into the data that is extracted from the data, so he can only carry it like this.
Maybe on the knight, this sword will definitely add a little bit of freedom, but on the child, Xu Wanxue can only feel a little funny about it.
"Outside in the open-air parking lot, just a few steps away." She replied with a smile, took Lin Mo's hand and walked forward.
Lin Mo didn't let go of her hand, and followed her pull, one big and one small, and walked in the direction of the parking lot.
Late at night, there aren't many pedestrians on the poplar streets, and the surrounding high-rise buildings are still glowing, and the flashing neon lights never seem to go out, adding a "cyber" feel to the city.
It seemed that she had escaped from the dangerous pursuit, Xu Wanxue's mood looked very good, her expression was relaxed, and she observed Lin Mo from time to time with the corner of her eye.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she couldn't have imagined that what happened tonight would be real.
Just because she won a lot of playing pachinko machines, she was inexplicably ordered to be hunted down.
And a little kid who didn't have any hair to grow escaped the pursuit with her like this!
And that amazing reaction... and the sudden appearance of the katana, all of which reflect the mystery of this little boy.
"Speaking of which, thank you for your help tonight, if it weren't for you, my sister and I would probably die at the hands of those gang minions." Xu Wanxue whispered, turning her head to look at Lin Mo's face.
Lin Mo also turned his head to look at her, one big and one small looked at each other, and then Lin Mo's words instantly made Xu Wanxue a little broken:
"Auntie, no thanks, if you hadn't pushed that uncle just now, I'm afraid I would have died."
How old are you, what sister are you talking about, you are the one who wants to be my adoptive mother, you can't mess with the generation...... Lin Mo complained in his heart.
The corners of Xu Wanxue's mouth twitched, and suddenly for a moment she felt that this little guy was not so cute.
"Anyway, you saved my sister, if you want any reward, you can tell your sister." She took a deep breath, smiled and continued, "Also, where is your home, it's so late, do you want my sister to send you back first?" ”
Lin Mo lowered his head, his scattered and untidy hair fluttered in the evening breeze, and Xu Wanxue couldn't see his expression clearly.
But the words that came out immediately, as well as the indifferent tone, made her heart rise with a burst of pity.
"I don't have a home for a long time." Lin Mo said calmly, as if describing an irrelevant matter.
The calmer the tone, the more it touches the hearts of others.
"I've been living on Twist Street since I was a child, and now that I've killed the Tiger Claw Gang, I can't go back."
Perhaps Lin Mo's previous performance was too mature, and only at this time did Xu Wanxue see the loneliness and weakness of his age.
She suddenly wanted to hug the child, but walking on the road at this time was not suitable for hugging.
Suddenly, Xu Wanxue regretted a little, she shouldn't have talked about this topic, she was familiar with the various street routes of Twist Street, and even the people of the Tiger Claw Gang knew her, she must have lived there since she was a child.
It's just that she didn't expect that Lin Mo would be an orphan.
The two fell silent for a moment, and silently walked to the parking lot on the side of the road.
Xu Wanxue walked to the side of a sports car, unlocked the car's security system with the "seed" chip of the subcutaneous identification device, and then came to the passenger seat, opened the car door, and motioned for Lin Mo to sit in.
Lin Mo also looked at the sports car.
- Goodra V-Tech sports car.
The appearance of the water chestnut is distinct, quite fluid and linear, the overall blue color, the two-seater space is more comfortable and spacious, and the power is driven by the rear wheels.
A sports car that is not expensive, but it is worth it for the middle level of the average company.
Seeing Xu Wanxue open the door for herself, Lin Mo did not appear restrained, and sat on the side seat generously and put the katana aside.
Xu Wanxue also followed and got into the car, started the engine, the roaring sound sounded from behind the car, and the sports car slowly drove away from the parking lot.
Lin Mo leaned his head sideways against the car window, his eyes looking at the night scene floating outside the car window.
This is the first time he has left Twisted Street since coming to this cyberpunk world.
It will also be a turning point in his fate in this life!
"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet? Sister, my name is Xu Wanxue, um... It is an employee of Kangtao Company. Xu Wanxue introduced herself.
"Lin Mo."
"You're also Chinese?" Xu Wanxue was a little surprised.
Japantown is one of the three major districts in the Westbrook area, and as a general area that encompasses most of the streets, whether it is Twist Street or Poplar Street, it is actually part of the Japantown area.
As the name suggests, the residents living in Japantown are naturally mainly Japanese, and Chinese people like Lin Mo are really rare.
"It should be, even though I'm an orphan, it's my name on my ID." Lin Mo explained.
Xu Wanxue tilted her head slightly to look at Lin Mo's side face, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in her heart.
"If you don't mind, do you want my sister and me to raise you in the future?"
Lin Mo showed a little surprise at the right time, looking a little entangled and confused, and asked unconvincedly, "Are you serious...... Aunt? ”
Syllable.
Xu Wanxue held the steering wheel with one hand, gently slapped Lin Mo's forehead with the other, and said angrily: "Can you not call me auntie, I am only 21 years old now." ”
"Then you want me to call you mom?" Lin Mo covered his head, blinked and asked.
Xu Wanxue's heart was inexplicably touched, but in the end she still said with a straight face: "Call me sister!" ”
"Since ancient times, the eldest sister is like a mother, and I am not wrong!" Lin Mo pretended to be aggrieved and said.
"Hell, where did you learn that bullshit idiom." Xu Wanxue scolded, but she was immediately amused and couldn't help laughing.
"Those Dongying guys have always liked to use Chinese idioms, and I learned them from them." Lin Mo said.
"Then let's change the subject, you first give me a thorough understanding of where you got that katana." Xu Wanxue turned her head and asked.
She was still very suspicious of Lin Mo suddenly pulling out a katana.
Lin Mo's face turned pale, and he asked seriously, "Do you really want to ask?" ”
"What, is there anything else hidden?" Xu Wanxue asked.
"If Auntie wants to hear it, then I have nothing to hide, in fact, when I was six years old, I met a beggar on Twist Street." Lin Mo said nonsense very seriously.
"Beggars?"
"That's right, at that time I saw that he was pitiful, so I bought him some food, and then he looked at my bones and was amazed, and said that he would sell me a katana for only 10 euros."
"I just thought he was begging in a different way, so I didn't expose his lies, and took 10 euros out of my trouser pocket and handed it to him, only to say that the katana had already been handed over to me, and that one day if I was in danger, it would appear directly in my hand!"
Hearing this set of rhetoric, Xu Wanxue didn't believe it at first, but looking at Lin Mo's serious face, she couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart.
And the katana just now seems to have really suddenly appeared in his hand!
"Really?"
Lin Mo sighed, his eyes seemed to be looking at the fool:
"Auntie, I was kind enough to make up a story to deceive you, so you should take it as true."
"Hell, you little rabbit cub ......" Xu Wanxue couldn't help but smile happily: "Forget it, you don't want to say, then I won't ask, by the way, how is the temperature of the air conditioner, is it cold?" ”
"It's not cold."
"In this way, let's make a discussion, I will give you 500 euros a month as pocket money, don't call me aunt, call me sister, how about it?"
"Okay, sister."
"Poof, you little money fan!"
