Chapter 1084: Chapter 12 The Godfather (Added for the leader, I am a book friend 0921!)_3
“Their main function is to patrol the city, scan for uncivilized behaviors, deduct points… In terms of combat ability, they are very weak.”
“So what’s with today…” Lin Xian just had to touch on the sore spot.
“Today is a special case!”
Xu Yiyi snorted:
“Look, when we escape, we usually flee through sewer manhole covers that don’t have ladders, and when we break in, we climb up through other manholes that do have ladders. These are the rules of the trade, you’d better rember them well.”
Lin Xian nodded.
Realizing that the big sister was giving a lecture:
“How should I address you?”
“Just call Yiyi.”
Xu Yiyi extended her hand, ready to high-five Lin Xian:
“And you?”
“Lin Xian,” Lin Xian said.
Slap.
The two high-fived.
“Follow .”
Xu Yiyi turned her head, leading Lin Xian into a passage of unknown direction:
“Let’s get out of the city first.”
Lin Xian followed her:
“Yiyi, I have a lot of questions to ask you.”
“Ask away.”
Xu Yiyi was very straightforward:
“You’re my little brother, of course, I’ll tell you everything I know, as long as I know it.”
Lin Xian looked at the dark and unfamiliar yet familiar figure ahead in the underground sewer:
“You are… from the past era, ca over through hibernation, right?”
“Eh?”
Xu Yiyi stopped, turned back, and looked at Lin Xian:
“How did you know? Can you even tell that?”
She nodded her head:
“You guessed right, I did wake up from a Hibernation Pod, and this is my sixth year since awakening. If we calculate based on my actual age, I should be 19 years old.”
“Do you still rember what happened before your hibernation?” Lin Xian asked.
Xu Yiyi shook her head:
“No, and I couldn’t possibly rember. I woke up in Donghai City, and according to the only dical record, I was a high paraplegic vegetative before hibernation, so there’s no way I could rember anything from before.”
“But I don’t have any real sense of being a vegetative person, when I opened my eyes in this era, my body was very healthy, and with the help of dication and nutritional supplents, I recovered quickly enough to move around.”
…
Indeed.
Lin Xian was quite emotional.
By now, Xu Yiyi’s identity has been clearly confird.
She indeed is Professor Xu Yun’s daughter, since he noticed it during their escape, a careful comparison revealed that Xu Yiyi’s facial features bear so resemblance to Professor Xu Yun’s.
Especially the nose and lower cheeks, almost identical.
Unexpectedly.
eting an old friend in a foreign land.
To actually et Xu Yiyi after traveling such a long distance.
Lin Xian also didn’t know how to express his feelings.
Firstly, seeing Xu Yiyi so healthy and lively, he was definitely happy from the bottom of his heart.
He was genuinely happy.
Happy for Xu Yiyi and also for Professor Xu Yun.
Having seen Xu Yiyi pale and skeletal in the hospital room several tis, Lin Xian felt quite bad.
And now, seeing her bouncing around, lively and vigorous, he was of course very relieved.
It was also justifying Teacher Xu’s spirit in heaven, if Teacher Xu could see this scene, he would definitely be happier than Lin Xian.
Because, his wishes and efforts…
Really bore fruit in his daughter.
Secondly.
Lin Xian also felt mixed emotions.
How to put it.
Xu Yiyi is lively, for sure, but isn’t she a bit too lively?
The current Xu Yiyi, one can’t say she’s definitely a bad kid, but at least, she’s definitely not an obedient, well-behaved kid.
She would sneak into the city through the sewers, attack police androids to steal things, and rob children’s masks without any sense of guilt…
It just feels.
This kid has learned so bad habits.
It’s not that Lin Xian is old-fashioned or conservative, but as Teacher Xu once entrusted Xu Yiyi to him, asking him to take care of her if there’s a chance.
So seeing Xu Yiyi in her current state, Lin Xian still vaguely felt like he had let down Teacher Xu’s expectations.
“Yiyi, do you rember nothing at all from before you went into hibernation? Do you have any concept of mom and dad?”
“No.”
Xu Yiyi shook her head decisively, hastening her steps forward:
“Really, not at all.”
“Others, before entering hibernation, might leave things like mory Notebooks or mory recordings. Look at , I was a vegetable before hibernation; where would I have the chance to leave anything like that.”
“As for my mom and dad, they must have gone through a lot of trouble to put into the Hibernation Pod, right? I’m truly grateful to them, but no impressions an no impressions; there’s nothing I can do.”
Xu Yiyi’s words plunged Lin Xian into silence.
Indeed.
What she said made sense.
The mother of Xu Yiyi, wife of Professor Xu Yun, died from amniotic fluid embolism during Xu Yiyi’s birth.
So Xu Yiyi was destined never to et her mother.
Even if there were any impressions, it would be rely a title, a shadow, a na that had passed.
And impressions of her father, Xu Yun, only go back to before her age of four, with very little left to rember… not to ntion being a vegetable for ten years, plus the centuries of hibernation, surely she had thoroughly forgotten everything.
“Now in Donghai City, is there any device that can restore mory to those who hibernated?”
Lin Xian asked:
“Like… sothing like a Neural Electrocution Helt?”
“How could there be such a thing!”
Xu Yiyi was amused:
“If there were such a convenient thing, that would be great. You’re really daydreaming.”
Well then.
Lin Xian smiled, without saying a word.
It seems that, in The Eighth Dreamland of The Future World, humanity still hasn’t managed to create the Neural Electrocution Helt.
It’s unknown whether this technology is being held up by Emperor Gao Wen or by Lady Du Yao.>
Lin Xian felt it was most likely stuck with Du Yao.
After all, even Emperor Gao Wen himself has stated, without Du Yao, a genius in neurology, and without her brilliant inspirations, humanity couldn’t have made any significant breakthroughs in neuroscience for hundreds of years.
“So…”
Lin Xian looked around the deserted underground sewer channel, asking:
“Where are we actually headed now?”
“To et [The Godfather].” answered Xu Yiyi.
“What the heck?”
Lin Xian couldn’t hold it in any longer.
It felt like he suddenly traveled back to Hollywood in the last century, where Marlon Brando portrayed “The Godfather” with his raspy voice, saying:
“You don’t even want to call godfather.”
Now, the word ‘godfather’ once again ca out from the mouth of Xu Yiyi.
Lin Xian was truly confused.
What kind of magical world is this?
“The kind of godfather you’re talking about…”
Lin Xian tried to describe:
“Is it like the leader of a gang, Mafia, or a criminal organization?”
“Yes.”
Xu Yiyi replied as if it were obvious:
“The Godfather is just that Godfather, the one and only, revered and loved by all. Don’t tell you’re unaware of his existence unless you’re from another planet.”
“Just consider an alien then.”
Lin Xian earnestly asked:
“Who exactly is the godfather?”
Stop.
Xu Yiyi stopped in her tracks, turned around solemnly, and looked at Lin Xian:
“Lin Xian, directly saying the Godfather’s na is a very disrespectful act.”
“Should I also kiss his hand?” Lin Xian retorted.
“That’s not necessary.”
Xu Yiyi crossed her arms, speaking softly:
“But you must approach him with the utmost respect and reverence to et the Godfather. He truly is a great person, what he does has the capability to completely change the world, to alter the future.”
“The greatest dream of all of us is to work for the Godfather.”
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.
Change the world, alter the future…
Can such grand statents really be made?
He couldn’t help but be curious:
“What is it the godfather… actually plans to do?”
Xu Yiyi smiled.
A look of admiration filled her eyes:
“The Godfather is going to use the Ti Shuttle Machine, to send an assassin back to the past… to eliminate the chief culprit! To re-write the future!”
