The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

"However," He Qin changed the subject, "Even if it's such a clumsy imitation, it's not something that ordinary working families can afford, let alone one brought back from an auction..."

His eyes turned away with a half-smile, and he licked the faces of Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian lightly, and the two of them flinched at the same time, feeling as if they were gouged out by a biting knife.

"Comparing to the current situation, only when you get a promotion and a salary increase, you dare to order a restaurant whose consumption level far exceeds your own income..." He Qin turned to Wen Zheliu, "I've already squandered enough, uncle and aunt The legacy left to Ning Ning disappeared like a steel ball in pachinko."

"Hey, why do you use pachinko as a metaphor at a time like this!"

Liu Jianzhang said in horror: "You...you are..."

He Qin tilted his head in Wen Zheliu's direction: "I'm nobody, I'm his boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" He looked at Wen Zheliu, "Can we get down to business? Talking too much to Pachinko is a waste of time."

Wen Zheliu didn't care about Liu Jianzhang anymore. Every second he entered this villa, he felt that he was sinking into the quagmire of the past... When He Qin wiped the fake easter egg with his finger, His heart also seemed to have been wiped.He clearly remembered that it was the third year he was adopted. The family quickly changed to a big, bright and spacious villa. Liu Jianzhang had more smiles on his face, and Wen Qian was also in a bright mood. Only then did he appear a little uncomfortable.At that time, he was still a naive and ignorant child, and he didn't dare to approach his uncle who treated him badly every day. He only dared to raise his face in the kitchen and ask Wen Qian: "Auntie, has the family changed to a bigger house?"

Wen Qian looked down at him, with a forced smile, she reached out to touch his head for the first time, and said, "...ah, yes."

Less than a month later, one night, the Lius suddenly got busy dressing up. Liu Jianzhang put on a neat suit and smooth pomade on his short hair. Even Liu Tianxiong put on a small suit like a dog, which seemed to be a valuable high-end product, and it made his bloated and fat back look a bit burly.Wearing pajamas and slippers, Wen Zheliu leaned out half of his body from behind the stair railing, watching the family get dressed happily.They didn't turn around to ask him a word, and they didn't even pay him a second look. Liu Tianxiong shouted happily: "Really, Dad! Auction, that's something I've only seen on TV!"

The door closed without hesitation, and at the same time cut off the laughter and laughter. Wen Zheliu was still exhausting all his courage and strength three seconds ago, and wanted to shout at the three people, "Can you wait a while, take me, I want to go too".

Wen Zheliu's head was in a daze that night, and he felt very uncomfortable, as if he had lost something, but he couldn't describe what this feeling was.He tossed and turned, couldn't sleep until late at night, and kept searching for information related to the "auction" on his optical brain.He stared at the picture and clicked on the holographic preview, all the scenes of luxurious clothing and temples, shadows and wine were all radiated from the small optical brain, surrounding this simple attic room, strange men and women behaved elegantly, making an intimate appearance of conversation, Repeatedly replayed beside Wen Zheliu.

So they went to such a place, he thought, so they... went to such a place.

In the early hours of the morning, the three of them came back full of energy and laughter. The luxury car from the auction sent them to their doorsteps. The white-gloved staff meticulously held the gift box and said that this is the auction item you bought this time, No. 32 Royal Rose The easter egg, the cupid's arrow on the egg symbolizes your loyal and happy marriage, the gold carving and rose diamonds symbolize your love at first sight for your beloved wife... He spoke so gaudyly that Wen Qian's crow's feet laughed at this flashy flattery.Wen Zheliu was young and couldn't understand these adjectives, but he was smart and not blind, so he could tell that the resplendent handicraft should be of great value.

He naturally thought, whose money was used to buy this?Uncles and aunts have ordinary positions. Whose money was used to buy this house and this auction item?

"Give it to me." At the moment when Wen Zheliu didn't realize it, his eyes were terribly red and his voice was hoarse. He couldn't help but stare at the retreating Wen Qian, "You are Wen's family... Although I don't want to admit that you are from the Wen family. You have the same blood on your body as mine, so you must hide something, go find it and give it to me."

He Qin's expression also changed, his smile was hidden behind his serious and worried gaze.Wen Qian's lips trembled, she took a few steps back slowly, and immediately ran upstairs.

"I'll go look at her." Wen Zheliu said in a low voice.

He Qin gently took his hand, kissed him on the corner of the eye, and said as relaxed as possible: "Go, call me if you need something."

Only Liu Jianzhang and He Qin were left downstairs. He Qin picked up an egg from the display stand, unscrewed it casually, and looked at it. He didn't see Liu Jianzhang's angry expression, and said softly, "Mr. Liu Jianzhang, may I ask you this?" When did you take the picture back?"

Liu Jianzhang originally planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb and resisted answering, but He Qin's slender fingers twisted slightly, and the golden flower branches hovering on the egg immediately made an unbearable creaking and twisting sound, he was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Many years ago! Many years ago!"

"Exactly how long ago?" He Qin picked up the plastic certificate on the velvet box to check. He thought it was a show off for every invited guest at any time. The certificate and packaging were all available at that time. Someone who stepped into this house would be able to see the bright facade soon, "Has it been more than five years? He should have been a child at that time. He agreed to waste the money left to him by your uncles and aunts? "

Liu Jianzhang guessed He Qin's background in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it. He didn't believe that his incompetent nephew, who had been shrouded in the shadow of his family, would get to know such a powerful person. He stiffened his neck and said, "We are his only ones." Guardian! Using your own family’s private property, you don’t need to greet anyone..."

"The fact is that you took a child who lost his mother and father, and lied on him like three ugly and fat leeches to suck blood." His words were interrupted, and He Qin's voice suddenly became very soft, as if there was a layer of The hazy rain shrouded him, "You don't have to worry about it, because he has no other way out, and the only thing left to rely on is you. For the sake of blood and family, he is willing to trust you and entrust himself to you hand, and you have abandoned that bottom line."

"Why?" He Qin slowly spun the egg, the light of the rose diamond shone brightly, refracted in his pale eyes, "Is it because he has no backing? Or is it because losing the power to control is terrible, enough Turning two adults into shameless rats who only know how to feed themselves by guarding and stealing?"

Liu Jianzhang was speechless, his vocal cords were trembling, and his calves were trembling. He felt a sharp "Qi" pressing towards him in all directions... This middle-aged man had never been on a battlefield, and he had never seen it before. The person who is killed will not know what it feels like to be killed, he just feels cold, and this is a priori engraved in the genes of human beings during the evolution of tens of thousands of years: cold means unknown danger, means Facing the plight and death that will come at any time.

He Qin put down the egg, and the gold and diamond base made a very crisp knocking sound on the glass: "When I think of you leaving him here alone, and then laughing and laughing, you will use the property left to him to spend a lot of money to enjoy the praise of others... ..."

The man in front of him suddenly disappeared!Liu Jianzhang opened his eyes wide in horror, and the next moment He Qin's figure flashed in front of him like a ghost, and the scabbard of the short knife shone with a thick luster of bronze—this is also a weapon with a single blade—suddenly Pushing against the middle-aged man's trachea, he was stuck and hit the wall!

"...I really want to kill you."

"...No! Spare me, spare my life... We... are his last...relatives..." Liu Jianzhang let out a scream, his face was turning blue, and he was sweating profusely, trying to squeeze the begging for mercy from between his teeth The words, "The blood relationship ... is ..."

"It can be cut off," a voice suddenly came from the stairs. Wen Zheliu was standing there, surrounded by Wen Qian who was dumbfounded and too frightened to speak, "You don't think that I still have something for you now." What kind of affection?"

Wen Qian grabbed the handrail, stumbled down a few steps, froze again, turned her head pale and begged Wen Zheliu: "Zheliu...Zheliu! For the sake of so many years...I am your aunt, we They are all relatives! The things left to you by your elder brother and sister-in-law have already been returned to you. We were wrong before, so you just treat us as obsessed with ghosts. We are not human, okay? Please raise your hand... I beg you to raise your hand..."

Wen Zheliu looked at the small heavy box in his hand, wiped off the fine dust on the lid lovingly, and said in a low voice: "Look, that's it, you have never reflected on your actions, only I put aside After getting over your worries and becoming more capable than you, you will apologize to me because of threats... You hate my parents, don't you?"

Wen Qian's look of anticipation froze, and he heard him go on to say: "As long as it belongs to them, you don't want to take any of it away. This is my only response to you."

He walked down the stairs, He Qin withdrew the handle of the knife, and let Liu Jianzhang collapse on the ground like dead meat, gasping for breath.

"That's it?" he asked. "What's in it?"

"I'll show you when I get back." Wen Zheliu smiled at him, although his complexion was still a little pale, but this smile was like the sun after the rain, taking off all the shackles and grievances, emitting an incomparably warm light.

He Qin couldn't help but looked at him and smiled.At this time, Liu Jianzhang got up from the ground holding his throat. Rao He Qin's identity as a warrior had been advising him not to attack ordinary people. His behavior under the rage still almost crushed the throat of the middle-aged man. Liu Jianzhang He hissed, "Do you think—"

Wen Zheliu's leaving footsteps stopped.

"——You think you can go to school, and you can grow up to such a size without incident. Whose credit is it!" He coughed and shouted dizzily. Tell him to stop talking.

"When you were handed over to us, you didn't even have an identity certificate...no!" Liu Jianzhang yelled nonchalantly, "You are a black household... you have nothing, you can't find anything... I don't know. I know what your parents do, but you grew up so big that you didn’t even go to school... It was us! It was us who begged your grandpa to sue your grandma, spent money everywhere, and your aunt almost knelt down with others, and finally Let you register and apply for a new identity certificate... Yes, we are sorry for you, but you can't say..."

"As a senior researcher of N-star Company, a platinum VIP holder of Nova City, and an elite who can work with the chief designer, do their children need to go to school with others?" He Qin asked indifferently "I see, because of the confidentiality agreement, uncles and aunts have never been close friends with you, so you don't know the current situation of Ningning's family, and you have been guessing how shameful his identity is. You think you are superior, and it is his great honor to take him in." ……is that so?"

The Lius were stunned, as if what He Qin spoke was some mysterious alien language, which their brains couldn't understand at all.

Wen Zheliu said to He Qin: "I want to put my ruthless words into action now, is that okay?"

He Qin immediately turned his head in concern, rolled up his sleeves, and asked seriously, "Which sentence?"

Wen Zheliu: ".....that sentence just now, why don't you have a tacit understanding at all!"

He Qin: "Oh oh oh, don't even think about keeping a single hair left by your uncle and aunt, right? I'm sorry but my boyfriend is disqualified. What do you want to do?"

The star network is restricted, but fortunately, it is not a big problem to open a current map.Wen Zheliu drew a circle on the landmark that popped up on the optical brain, circled the location of this house, and asked: "First...just take this house out, and move it to Dongcheng District, Xicheng District or other districts from here. Li, is there no problem?"

He Qin's brows twitched, and he instantly understood what he meant: "Oh, if the schools are divided into regions, your cousin won't be able to continue studying here. It's fine, it's a trivial matter, it's totally fine."

Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian stared at them in horror.

"It doesn't seem to be enough to just demarcate the city. Selling the house is a lot of income, right? Then..." Wen Zheliu scratched his hair, "Is it okay to demarcate the villa into the scope of ancient buildings?"

He Qin understood: "In this case, the annual maintenance fee for an ancient building is very high, and one hundred thousand euros per square meter is also a common expense. How big is this area? Roughly estimate, [-] square meters won't be enough, right?"

"Indeed," Wen Zheliu looked around carefully, "It's from another city, or an ancient building, who would take advantage of it? Anyway—"

He looked at the Liu couple who were in a trance, sighed, and said softly: "——you will carry this debt until you spit out all you have eaten. Without the support of my parents, I am I'm happy to see you get beaten back to your original shape, and then rolled back to where you should be."
