The elevator door opened with a click, and a girl and a child slowly walked in. After pressing the elevator button, the gears rotated and the iron cable pulled up, taking the two people slowly to the second floor.
Baiyangshu Street is located on the first floor of Twisted Street.
Coming here meant that the two of them successfully left the confines of Twisted Street and barely escaped the pursuit of the Tiger Claw Gang.
"Where is your car parked?"
Lin Mo asked while observing his body and patting the fine flesh and blood tissue stained on his body.
He was carrying a fantasy-style ancient samurai sword behind him. The slender sword hanging diagonally on his back was almost as tall as half of his body.
Lin Mo couldn't do anything about it.
There was no way to put the items extracted from the data back later. He could only carry them on his back like this.
Perhaps if placed on a knight, this sword would definitely add a sense of freedom and ease, but if placed on a child, Xu Wanxue would only find it a bit amusing.
"The open-air parking lot outside is 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 large and one small, and walked towards the parking lot.
Late at night, there are not many pedestrians on the poplar streets, but the surrounding high-rise buildings are still shining brightly, and the flashing neon lights seem to never go out, adding a "cyber" style to the city.
It seemed that she had escaped from the dangerous pursuit. Xu Wanxue seemed to be in a very good mood, with a relaxed expression. She observed Lin Mo from the corner of her eyes from time to time.
If she hadn't experienced all this personally, she would never have imagined that what happened tonight would be real.
Just because she won a lot playing Pachinko, she was inexplicably given a fatwa.
And a little kid with no hair growing out actually managed to escape capture with her!
And that amazing reaction...and the sudden appearance of a samurai sword, all reflect the mystery of this little boy.
"Speaking of which, thank you kid for helping me tonight. If it weren't for you, my sister and I would have died at the hands of those gangsters." Xu Wanxue said softly, turning her head to look at Lin Mo's face.
Lin Mo also turned his head to look at her. The big one and the small one looked at each other. Then Lin Mo's words instantly broke Xu Wanxue's guard:
"Auntie, you're welcome. If you hadn't pushed that uncle just now, I would have died too."
How old are you, what else can you say about sister? You are the one who wants to be my adoptive mother, so seniority cannot be messed up... 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 wasn't so cute anymore.
"No matter what, you saved my sister. If you want any reward, you can tell me." She took a deep breath and continued with a smile, "Also, where is your home? It's so late.
Do you want my sister to take you back first?"
Lin Mo lowered his head, his messy and untied hair fluttering in the evening breeze, and Xu Wanxue couldn't see his expression clearly.
But the words she said immediately and the indifferent tone made her feel a pity in her heart.
"I have no home for a long time." Lin Mo said calmly, as if he was describing an unrelated matter.
The calmer the tone, the more it can touch the hearts of others.
"I have lived on Twisted Street since I was a child. Now that I have killed the Tiger Claw Gang, I can no longer go back."
Perhaps Lin Mo's previous behavior was too mature. Only at this time did Xu Wanxue see the loneliness and weakness in him that was unique to his age.
She suddenly wanted to hug the child, but walking on the road at this time was not a suitable time for hugging.
Suddenly, Xu Wanxue regretted that she shouldn't have brought up this topic. She was familiar with the various street routes in Twisted Street, and even knew people from the Tiger Claw Gang. She must have lived there since she was a child.
But she didn't expect that Lin Mo would be an orphan.
The two fell into silence for a moment, and walked to the parking lot on the roadside in silence.
Xu Wanxue walked to a sports car and used the subcutaneous identification device "seed" chip to unlock the car's security system. Then she went to the passenger seat, opened the door, and motioned for Lin Mo to sit in.
Lin Mo also took a look at the sports car.
——Gudela V-Tech sports car.
The exterior has sharp corners and a fluid linear aesthetic. The overall appearance is blue. The space for the two-seater is more comfortable and spacious, and the power is driven by the rear wheels.
A sports car that is expensive but still worth it for the middle-level people of ordinary companies.
Seeing Xu Wanxue opening the door for him, Lin Mo didn't show any restraint. He sat on the passenger seat generously and put the samurai sword aside.
Xu Wanxue also got into the car and started the engine. A roaring sound came from behind the car, and the sports car slowly drove away from the parking lot.
Lin Mo leaned his head against the car window and looked at the night scene passing by.
This is the first time he has left Twist Street since he came to this cyberpunk world.
It will also be a turning point in his life!
"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet? Sister, my name is Xu Wanxue, um... I am an employee of Kangtao Company." Xu Wanxue introduced herself.
"Lin Mo."
"Are you also from China?" Xu Wanxue was a little surprised.
Japan Street is one of the three major areas in Westbrook. As a general area that includes most streets, both Twist Street and Poplar Street actually belong to the Japan Street area.
As the name suggests, the residents living in Japan Street are naturally mainly Japanese, and Chinese Americans like Lin Mo are really rare.
"It should be. Although I am an orphan, it is indeed this name on my identity certificate." Lin Mo explained.
Xu Wanxue tilted her head slightly to look at Lin Mo's side face, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.
"If you don't mind, do you want me to support you from now on?"
Lin Mo showed a little surprise at the right time, looking a little entangled and confused, and asked uncertainly: "Are you serious...Auntie?"

Xu Wanxue held the steering wheel with one hand, lightly slapped Lin Mo's forehead with the other, and said angrily: "Can you please don't call me auntie? I'm only 21 years old now."
"Then you want me to call you mom?" Lin Mo asked, covering his head and blinking.
Xu Wanxue was inexplicably touched in her heart, but in the end she said with a serious face: "Call me sister!"
"Since ancient times, elder sisters are like mothers, I'm not wrong!" Lin Mo said pretending to be aggrieved.
"Damn it, where did you learn that bullshit idiom?" Xu Wanxue cursed, but was immediately amused and couldn't help laughing.
"Those Japanese people always like to use Chinese idioms, and I followed them," Lin Mo said.
"Then let's change the topic. First tell me where you got that samurai sword." Xu Wanxue turned around and asked.
She was still very suspicious of Lin Mo suddenly taking out a samurai sword.
Lin Mo looked stern and asked seriously: "Do you really want to ask?"
"Why, is there any secret?" 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 Twisted Street." Lin Mo said nonsense very seriously.
"beggar?"
"Yes, I thought he was pitiful at that time, so I bought him some food. Later, when he saw my skeleton and was surprised, he offered to sell me a samurai sword for only 10 euros."
"I just thought he was begging tactfully in another way, so I didn't expose his lie. I took out 10 euros from my trouser pocket and handed it to him. As a result, he said that the samurai sword had been handed over to me, and one day in the future
If I encounter danger, the knife will appear directly in my hand!"
Hearing this rhetoric, Xu Wanxue didn't believe it for the first time, but looking at Lin Mo's serious face, she couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart.
Moreover, the katana just seemed to appear suddenly in his hand!
"real?"
Lin Mo sighed, his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot:
"Auntie, I made up a story to lie to you with good intentions. Just take it as true."
"Damn it, you little brat..." Xu Wanxue couldn't help but smile heartily: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then I won't ask. By the way, what's the temperature of the air conditioner? Is it cold?
"
"not cold."
"Let's talk about it. I'll give you 500 euros as pocket money every month. How about you don't call me aunt, call me sister?"
