"You don't have to be afraid. Since I told you, I'm not afraid of you saying it, but..." The landlady looked very sad. She lowered her head and tears welled up in her eyes.
For a moment, Lou Yuxiao felt guilty. She didn't know why, but she just felt guilty, as if all these bad things were related to her.
Upon seeing this, Felim said with relief: "Xiao Lin, it's okay. I believe they will make the right choice."
Are they talking about the people who came to capture the "Earth Invaders" that night?
Lou Yuxiao is very smart. She realizes the seriousness of the problem, but she doesn't understand why the boss lady wants to tell her this. Is it really just casual talk?
Just as he was thinking about it, the man named Felim looked at Lou Yuxiao and said, "Is your name Yuxiao?"
Lou Yuxiao nodded and moved back unconsciously. She was a little afraid of this man.
"Can I ask you a favor?"
Forehead……
Lou Yuxiao was a little embarrassed. What was this? Why did he suddenly bother others?
but……
"Um...you said..."
Felim was also a little embarrassed. He looked at the landlady and said: "Her real name is Guan Xiaolin. She is my son's student. She came to Gaia fourteen years ago. At that time, she was very scared and missed her family very much.
, but she later discovered that the identity she took on also had many friends and relatives, so she worked hard to integrate herself into it... Fourteen years have passed, and maybe in my eyes she is still the sixteen or seventeen-year-old
Little girl, but for her, the trajectory of her life has changed too much..."
"Sir..." The proprietress Guan Xiaolin finally shed tears after hearing these words. She grabbed Felim's hand as if she didn't want him to continue talking.
Lou Yuxiao suddenly became interested in these things.
Especially the boss lady in front of me.
Before today, the landlady Lou Yuxiao knew was a gentle, intellectual and considerate woman. Although she had no children, she had several younger brothers and sisters to take care of.
I still remember that when Lou Yuxiao first came here, she was just passing by, but the landlady stopped her and asked her if she was interested in coming to the store to help.
So out of nowhere, Lou Yuxiao became a waiter in this snack shop.
At first, Lou Yuxiao didn't think much about working, but after learning about the history of this store, she decided to stay.
It turns out that the earliest snack shop was opened in the lowest slum area of Cerberus. The shop owner was a middle-aged uncle. The current boss's wife is called Xuan'er, a girl about the same age as Lou Yuxiao.
When the Golden Bird Cage incident broke out, the uncle and Xuan'er were lucky enough to escape. Unfortunately, when the golden bird cage was finally destroyed, the uncle sacrificed himself to protect Xuan'er.
Although later I heard from the landlady that a very powerful customer had restored the snack shop in the world of numbers, but in Xuan'er's heart, those were just memories of memories.
There is no such wandering in her life, her father is gone.
Although her father is gone, Xuan'er has completely inherited his craftsmanship.
So Xuan'er started from scratch and reopened the snack shop bit by bit. Of course, she couldn't do this without the help of those amazing customers.
Lou Yuxiao once asked those very powerful customers what
who is it.
But the landlady always smiled and said nothing, and never mentioned it to anyone.
The snack shop later experienced several disasters, but in the end it survived.
The landlady who has lived here for decades took in many orphans, and they are her brothers and sisters.
Although to outsiders, the role of the landlady seems to be more like that of a foster mother, the landlady never thinks so. She often says that she only gives them food and a place to live. Compared with the group of people she once knew, this is nothing.
Not a big deal.
However, who would have thought that fourteen years ago, the boss lady was replaced by a soul from the earth.
After taking over this responsibility, Guan Xiaolin also thought about closing her shop and looking for a way back home, but in the end she chose to stay and continue to play the role of Xuan'er.
Because only in this way can Guan Xiaolin tell herself that Xuan'er on earth should be taking good care of her parents and sisters just like her.
After listening to the whole story, Lou Yuxiao felt very strange in her heart.
That feeling was neither sentimental nor curious, but rather a sense of wonder and unusual yearning for this change of identity.
…
"Those powerful customers that Xiaolin has never mentioned to you are actually somewhat related to the truth you concealed." Felim looked at Lou Yuxiao.
Lou Yuxiao was shocked when she heard this. She was a little panicked, but she acted very calmly.
"Ah? I'm hiding it..."
Felim smiled, waved his hand, interrupted Lou Yuxiao's cover-up and said: "Your secret is nothing to me, and I won't tell it. I just hope you know that Xiaolin's current identity looks...
She is just an ordinary person, but to many important people, she is as important as family, and you, the person behind you is one of them, so... I hope you can stay by Xiaolin's side, like this
Come on, even if Xiaolin's identity is exposed, at least she can let those people know about it, so that she won't be taken away by the enforcers in a daze, do you understand what I mean?"
Lou Yuxiao was in a daze, and it took him a long time to get around the bend.
It's not that she's stupid, it's that Filim said it's complicated.
"Okay, but...actually, even if you don't tell me, I won't allow anyone to hurt her, because to me, she is Ah Xuan and the owner of this store." Lou Yuxiao said this with great confidence.
, of course she does have this capital, but in order to hide her identity, she must behave like ordinary people.
This was the first time in so many years that Chu Xiaolin felt real concern from this world.
Because she is not Xuan'er after all, all the good things will always be like bubbles in her eyes.
With Lou Yuxiao's words, Felim showed a happy smile, nodded, picked up the hat, and seemed to be leaving.
Lou Yuxiao saw this and said, "Sir, are you leaving now?"
Philim: "Well, I still have a few friends I want to meet."
Lou Yuxiao heard this and said quickly: "Before you leave, can you tell me your real name?"
Felim replied: "My name is Li Shaoan."
Li Shaoan...
Lou Yuxiao wrote it down silently.
After watching this "gentleman" disappear at the end of the street, Lou Yuxiao asked Chu Xiaolin: "Are you injured? Does it matter?"
Chu Xiaolin: "It's okay, I've already treated the wound."
Lou Yuxiao thought for a while after hearing this.
Then he said: "In that case, let's leave here tonight. It's still too dangerous to stay here."
But Chu Xiaolin said: "No, I can't leave yet."
"Ah? Why?"
Chu Xiaolin smiled bitterly and said: "Achen and Xu Xu will be back the day after tomorrow. They will be very anxious if they can't find me by then."
Lou Yuxiao knew how important these two people were to Chu Xiaolin, so she stopped talking. However, for the sake of safety, she still secretly sent an encrypted message to the person behind her.
The content of the message is not much, only a short paragraph.
"My situation is very dangerous, please support me."
…
Encrypted information takes only a few milliseconds from being sent to being received by the target.
The person who saw the text message calmly took out the certificate of entitlement, and soon several aircraft took off from the secret base.
After doing this, he straightened his collar and pushed the door open.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard a person saying angrily: "They have destroyed Percival! There are still more than 30 million residents hiding behind protective bunkers, uncertain about their lives, and you are still trying to excuse these lunatics?
You are so kind!"
Judging from the clothes he was wearing, the person speaking should be affiliated with the Border Defense Force, with the rank of general, and he should be in his forties.
The person in question was not a soldier. He frowned and said helplessly: "General Wu, please listen to what I have to say. I'm not trying to excuse anyone. It's just that the situation is unclear now and we are arresting people all over the world.
We have arrested so many people, not to mention whether we have arrested the wrong ones, even if we arrest them all correctly, we may not be able to catch the ones who really pose a threat to us? Besides, you have also seen that these invaders from the earth have been planning for a long time.
By driving them to a dead end, there is no guarantee that Percival's disaster will not happen again!"
Wu Tianyue was once Yue Pingyang's right-hand man. After the Central Curtain Incident, Wu Tianyue was in the process of hiring people. Wu Tianyue made an unusual promotion and worked hard to achieve today's achievements. He can be regarded as a strong man with both talent and luck.
After hearing this, Wu Tianyue sneered and said: "Then what do you think we should do? Let them all go? Then we will surrender and let the people on earth occupy Gaia Star? Hmm? Great Talent Liu?"
Liu Shen, the former senior military adviser to the Arbitrator, was one of the first people to change their rights certificates and transfer them to the management after the founding of the Glorious Republic.
He has contributed a lot to the construction of the Republic over the years and is a man of practical talents.
"General Wu, I didn't say I wanted to release him. I just wanted to make suggestions and express my own thoughts to further improve the plan. Everything can't be solved by force, right? As you know, from the beginning of the cleanup operation to now, there have been
Many border guards were captured, ranging from officers to logistics and supply personnel, covering almost every level and department of the entire system. But what was the result? Did they ever take up arms to resist? No! Not one of them!
Do you know what this means?"
Wu Tianyue stopped talking. Of course he knew this, because among the people cleared out was a close staff officer of his own, and he had also talked with the staff officer before coming...
To be honest, if he hadn't admitted it himself, he really wouldn't have felt that this person was replaced by an earthling.
Seeing that Wu Tianyue was silent, Liu Shen sighed and said: "Brother, we all want to serve the Republic with all our heart, and we all have the same purpose, but if we go in the wrong direction, we are afraid that it will cause even greater waves.
