The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Little cousin?

"Didn't you say before that he was your uncle?"

"Well, as you know, the relationships within large families are always messy and complicated. Although my father and Uncle Jinshui call each other brothers, the blood relationship between them may not actually be that deep."

my dad?

Call each other brothers?

In a trance, Ping Jinshui saw the shadow of the man in the past in Ping Xin, but the man who once pinned him to the ground and forced him to become brothers was no longer there -

"Who...are you?"

"Look, isn't my little cousin a very handsome man with a girlish look? My dad once goaded him into wearing women's clothes, and then the 'brother and sister' had a great time together. They were so happy!"

"..."

All I can say is that this shameless attitude is indeed there. Although this is impossible, Ping Jinshui already believes it to a certain extent.

"This young man who looks familiar, and this... lady? What brings you to see me so late at night?"

He was thinking that the other party might be the Black and White Impermanence, so Ping Jinshui spoke in a somewhat ancient style.

"Ahem... Well, let me introduce myself again—my name is Ping Xin, and I'm Pingheng's only son."

"But my brother..."

"So I said it at the beginning... I came from another parallel world. So, little cousin, can you tell me now--"

Which breeds of dogs killed my father?

*The question is how the father of this parallel universe died

Chapter 9: The Past of the Heike Clan

Although calling the elders and tribesmen "dogs" might seem like an insult to themselves, it was a shot in the arm for Ping Jinshui, who was conservative by nature.

So after pretending to hesitate for a while, he told out all the bad things those guys had done in the past and over the years.

During this conversation, Ping Xin also found some fragments of the truth, which eventually led him to some conclusions -

First of all, there is no superpower (internal force) like [Qi] in this world, so the ancestral skills of the Heike family are just ordinary fighting skills to strengthen the body. Therefore, although they made great contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they also suffered heavy casualties.

Although the protagonist's father is resourceful, he is ultimately no match for four people. Without qigong skills, he is unable to show his talent in the struggle and make a comeback.

Naturally, Ping Heng's son Ping Xin would not appear in the future.

This is the butterfly effect caused by the tiny differences between the two worlds. Some people may think that this is a big difference, but in the long river of time, it is just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

Ping Jinshui became more and more excited as he spoke, sometimes even becoming incoherent, and even shed tears several times. The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for all these years were released at this moment.

"Nephew, what are you doing here this time? Are you here to avenge your father? Or are you here to kill all those bastards and take over that throne?"

Well...

The young cousin in front of him seemed far from the image of the gentle and elegant nobleman in his memory, or maybe this was his true nature that he did not hide?

I'll find a chance to try it out when I get back...

"No, little cousin, I just came to see you... I'm not from this world, and I'll leave sooner or later."

In order to take his feelings into consideration, Pingxin did not mention that he was leaving in the next few days.

"Is that so... Then what are you doing here? Is there any uncle who can help you?"

"I...actually, my father and mother got lost, and I'm on my way to find them. It may take some time and effort, but I believe I'll find them sooner or later. So before I leave, I want to come and see the only relative in my family."

"...?"

This was the first time Tiao Yue Liyin had heard of such a thing. Could it be that Ping Xin felt that finding her family would be a blow to her since she was alone, so he didn't tell her?

There was no basis for this, but her heart was in a mess and she could only stand there like a piece of wood without saying a word.

"Well, you are indeed my nephew. You are so remarkable at such a young age... Keep up the good work, I will definitely burn a few more incense sticks to pray for you—"

Although he did not believe in Buddhism, Taoism or God, he was willing to believe in him for the sake of Ping Jinshui, the person he cared about. Although he was called "the only relative" by a person he met for the first time, his heart was filled with joy at this moment.

"By the way, little cousin...are you interested in becoming the head of this family?"

"...I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and have never sought prominence."

"I have a way to help you deal with those old men legally. It involves connections with the state."

"Elaborate."

Well...

Should we say that we are truly a family?

Looking at the two people in front of her who quickly became friends and then squatted in the corner whispering and laughing strangely from time to time, Diao Yue Liyin suddenly felt a little lonely.

"So from now on, all I have to do is take this sample and wait for someone from above to pick it up?"

"Yes, it's fine, little cousin."

"Haha...it's getting late today. Before daybreak, are you going to stay in the side room for the night? Or should we find a hotel first?"

Although some people colluded with foreign forces to spread the zombie virus, due to the strict control within Yan Country and the complete blockade of out-of-control areas, most areas are still peaceful.

"No, I...will just stay in my dad's room for one night."

"But... well, you decide for yourself—"

Ping Jinshui wanted to say something, but in the end he smiled and let Ping Xin decide for himself.

Pingheng, Pingxin's father, lives in a small room converted from a former woodshed. In the original world, he lived alone to practice martial arts. What secrets does this father have here?

......

...

..

"Ah... a familiar feeling."

After using his ability to clean and gather the dust, and then scattering it into the rooms of several old men who had persecuted his father, Ping Xin lay down directly on the pile of straw.

"What on earth are you planning? And why did you ask your cousin to deliver the item?"

Obviously, the series of facts that happened one after another today made Diao Yue Linyin's mind confused, so she didn't even see such a simple fact, or maybe she just wanted to hear the answer from Ping Xin?

This fact is only known to her...

"It's nothing, actually. It's just... convenient."

Well, just do it.

"Kindness without a reason will only make people wary for the rest of their lives. 'Kindness with a purpose' like this is actually easier for people to accept because you're still playing within the 'rules'."

The USB drive sent previously only contained some data from in vivo experiments, experimental videos verifying that the antibody drug was indeed effective, and a message from an ordinary email.

With these things, perhaps Yan country scientists can also come up with what I want, but it will undoubtedly take time and many detours, and if they follow the information in the USB flash drive, they will undoubtedly waste many people's lives in vain.

Therefore, what they want most at this moment is undoubtedly ready-made drug samples and antibody sources that can be mass-produced, which are practical and reliable things.

"And my little cousin is someone I'm willing to let take advantage of, and he's the most suitable springboard."

At first, she just sat on the edge of the fluffy straw, but after working with her hands and brain during the day, Diao Yue Liyin felt tired, so after she felt relieved, she gradually lay down on it.

"Then why...why do you say that this world doesn't welcome you?"

Competent people can find a place wherever they go, and people who can get things done can support themselves wherever they are, and this is especially true for a scumbag with high emotional intelligence.

"That's just a meme... Landscapes don't have emotions, it's just that humans project their own emotions onto them—"

I could stay here, of course. After all, I could stay anywhere, but nothing is as good as my own home."

“Is that so…ah…”

Her defenses gradually softened with her breathing, and Diao Yue Liyin fell asleep with her head tilted, on a cheap but comfortable big bed that she had never experienced before.

Pingxin took out a black coat from somewhere and covered Tiaoyue Liyin with it as a thin blanket, then he closed his eyes.

"...Goodnight, Li Yin, and--"

Sorry.

Chapter 10 The Final Farewell

After having breakfast together and helping his uncle show off his unique skills to dominate the scene, Ping Xin took Tiao Yue Liyin to attack Stark Industries.

Because he had no personal relationship with him, and the other party made his fortune as an arms dealer, Ping Xin took advantage of him and collected a large amount of advanced technological information.

But in the end, he still returned to the East Country to meet with everyone——

"Brother Pingxin, are you back? That's great! I thought something happened to you when you suddenly disappeared!"

Well...

So is it good or bad?

"Sorry, I went abroad to handle some matters. Although I don't have a visa and passport, fortunately I can fly so everything is fine~" Pingxin blinked vigorously.

No, it’s a big problem, right?

Common sense, people thought.

"Haha, little brother Pingxin, you are finally back? Come and see the gift I prepared for Miss Liyin."

"Ah, old man, you're here too... Where's my gift?"

With his body and mind becoming increasingly healthy and full of energy, Genjutsu Hideki smiled and looked at the camera hanging on his chest, indicating that he had given it to you a long time ago.

"Ah, ah, I really lost to you——"

After greeting everyone, Ping Xin and Li Yin came to the most confidential room of the head of the Genmaki family, and then Genmaki Shou took out a special bracelet and handed it to them.

"This is something we made using the Stark Industries technology data you sent me earlier, combined with our own technology... The tentative name is [Portable Bracelet Armor Type I]."

"Could it be... this is it!?"

"That's right...it can transform~"

Ping Xin looked at the bracelet in his hand with fiery eyes. If it wasn't rose gold in color, he might have walked away on the spot.

After smiling behind his back, Tiaoyue Liyin took the bracelet from Pingxin and put it on her own hand.

After completing biometric and voice authentication, Diao Yue Liyin activated the bracelet.

"Wow, it's a mecha girl... cool!"

It is somewhat similar to the Iron Man we have seen in previous works, but this one looks more feminine, which can be seen from the lines, color matching and huge chest armor.

Moreover, this one is more like a special effects hero in a sense than a steel hero, although there is also a branch of steel heroes in it——

"Considering that Liyin lacks the ability to protect herself, this armor isn't equipped with many weapons. Its limited functionality is focused solely on protection and survival. With it, it can sustain itself for a while even in extreme environments."

Although Genmaki Shou seemed to have some misunderstanding about his strength, it was a kind gift after all so Ping Xin accepted it, but Chozuki Rion did not accept it.

"Mr. Xianjuan, there's an old saying that goes 'no reward without merit'... From the beginning until now, I've always been the one being taken care of. How can I have the nerve to accept your gift now?"

"Well... then, just think of it as a gift from your elders. Even though I won't be able to attend your future weddings, I have to at least deliver the gift."

"Wedding and all that, I..."

Diao Yue Liyin wanted to refute, but she couldn't find any words. After all, if what awaited her was not death, then it would most likely be a warm bed...

There were a lot of people, and many of them were acquaintances.

"Please accept it, Liyin... Isn't it very rude to refuse a gift in a social setting?"

"...Well, thank you for your kindness. I will use it properly."

She really took the opportunity given to her, and Liyin accepted it without any hesitation.

"So, what are your plans next? I heard that you're mainly active in the East Country. If you still have work to do here, I'd like to give you some face."

Pingxin smiled out of courtesy.

"Well, but we have almost finished what we need to do, and it is about time to continue our journey-"

After having one last meal together, Pingxin and Liyin said goodbye to everyone and set off on their journey again.
