MTL - Survivorship Bias-Chapter 129 silver lining

wake up.

The first time he opened his eyes, he saw Shen Ti's face close at hand, and his heart was filled with a huge sense of security, so he subconsciously leaned into his arms and hugged his waist.

"You seem to be sleeping well." Shen Ti stroked his hair, his voice soft.

An Wujiu heard this, but her first reaction was: "Did you wake up so early?"

Shen Ti hummed, "I didn't sleep too much, I feel a little excited."

An Wujiu thinks this is not normal, “Before you have always been very sleepy.”

Speaking of which, Shen Ti thought about it. Before, he had to sleep for a long time, but recently he found that he started to sleep less and his mental state was also very excited.

"Maybe it's because people are in good spirits when they have happy events." Shen Ti also hugged An Wu Jiu, like a child hugging his beloved and the only puppet.

“You have learned a lot.” After An Wujiu complained, he checked his information panel with some trepidation, and saw the information of Wu You and Yang Erci, but both of them both It is said that they have not found a girl who is suspected of his sister.

"It doesn't matter, we still have a few that we haven't finished looking for." Shen Ti comforted, "We'll look for it now."

He said to An Wujiu: "I have a hunch that my sister is still alive."

An Wujiu has already put on his clothes and tied his hair, "Did you see it with your divine eyes?"

Shen Ti smiled, "It's strange, I rely on my heart." After speaking, he held his chest with his hands.

You have no heart at all, An Wujiu said.

But he is still willing to believe Shen Ti's hunch.

"I will miss this place." Shen Ti said before closing the door.

An Wujiu was amused by his serious look, he joked, "I like this place so much, then come back tomorrow?"

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, "Okay, come back tomorrow. You are not allowed to go anywhere, just here."

Time is running out, they leave the hotel and embark on a journey to find their sister again. There are not many people left in the list, An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti started one by one according to the distance from near to far.

Like yesterday, they knocked on a door with hope, only to be disappointed.

Actually, it was the first time that An Wu Jiu met so many different girls, this seemed to be a chance for him to see these strong girls.

Most of them live in the mud, but they work very hard, very hard.

Every **** this list once had a reported missing person, like the penultimate girl they met today, she was optimistic, but she was an adult when she was found, During the long time she was a minor, she was displaced and suffered a lot. When she was retrieved by her parents, she felt like a stranger sitting and eating with them, even though she and her mother were in tears.

An Wu Jiu listened, his heart seemed to be tugged by a thin and tough thread, unable to say a word.

He wondered if his sister would do the same.

But at that time, she had no choice, and she didn't want to do anything to let her escape. The end would only be the same as him, perhaps even more terrible, becoming a "failed" experiment.

The girl could read anxiety from An Wujiu's face, so after some struggle, she said to An Wujiu: "You can tell me about your sister, I know a lot People, maybe you can help a little bit."

Maybe because of this empathy, An Wujiu told her, even though he guessed the hope was very slim.

"I'll help you ask." The girl said to him, "Please don't give up, she must hope to be found by her brother."

An Wujiu nodded and left the girl's house.

Shen Ti took his shoulders, gave him support silently, and joked, "I don't seem to have really seen your sister."

“Really?” An Wujiu smiled. When he summoned Shen Ti, it was late at night, and his sister was already asleep.

It appears to be only once.

"No," Shen Ti also remembered, "I seem to have heard her voice, and I also saw a little of her appearance through the door. with a rabbit made of cotton and cloth."

An Wujiu was surprised that he could recall so completely.

At that time, he summoned the "god" according to the incantation, and the whole person fell into an irresistible infatuation, as if his soul had been grabbed, but the cry of his sister outside the door suddenly woke him up come over.

In other words, Shen Ti woke him up.

“She was very scared.” An Wujiu’s voice was very low, “She was still young at that time, she didn’t understand why her father disappeared, she missed her very much, she was too scared to sleep that day, so she came to me Find me in my room and sleep with me."

My sister shed a lot of tears that night. She was so young, but she seemed to understand everything.

After An Wujiu told her that her father went far away, she would ask An Wujiu if her father would never come back.

He can only tell her that he will come back, and one day, we will meet him.

It was only later that even he couldn't meet his sister. An Wujiu can't imagine how she could survive in this sinister world alone, she is so small, so innocent and innocent.

An Wujiu can no longer think about it, otherwise his last hope will also be destroyed.

Only the last person on the list.

Shen Ti remembered that night, the little boy who was also afraid played the role of a reliable brother and comforted his sister.

He suddenly thought of the false memory that An Wujiu described to him before, in that memory, his sister ran away from home.

"Who do you think... who wrote new memories for you?"

Arriving at the new address, An Wu Jiu hesitated in the elevator when he heard this question.

“I have thought about many possibilities, even you.” An Wujiu said to him, “I was thinking for a while, maybe you did it, but you also forgot ."

Shen Ti understood what he meant, "You are the person who thinks that he can write a good memory for you, thinking of being good for you, right?"

“Well, but I thought about it later, it shouldn’t be you,” An Wujiu said, “The first time I met you was in the copy of Red and Black, you don’t have the opportunity to go do this."

Shen Ti did not remember that he manipulated An Wu Jiao's memory, he was just curious about the manipulator.

"Maybe it's just a controlled experiment."

Before the elevator door, An Wujiu straightened his clothes against the mirrored inner wall, he did this every time, wanting to see her in a better image and condition.

Only this time, like every previous one, it failed.

"I hope you can find your sister." The girl this time, like every previous one, gave An Wu Jiao blessing without hesitation.

"Thank you."

But An Wu Jiao was completely disheartened.

He knew that he wanted to find his sister through such an unexpected list in the vast sea of ​​people. It was a fantasy, and he had never had such luck.

After coming out of the last person's house, An Wujiu called the other two teams, he tried his best to sound normal, and reported to them the list of All cases.

The same as what he got, the miracle did not happen, and every one they looked for was not.

An Wujiu hung up the phone and stood quietly on the side of the road. On this day, there was a surprisingly big sun, drying up all the rain that had ever been there.

He saw that when he was a child, he secretly hid candy for his sister to eat, and she had a toothache and cried in his arms. They picked small tomatoes together in his father's glass greenhouse, and gave them to her. flower watering.

I wonder if she has ever seen a real peony flower, if not, can she see herself?

In the bustling crowd, some people are busy with money and life, some people are enjoying themselves, some people are fanatical heretics who destroy everything with impunity, and some people are indifferent passers-by.

Only An Wu blames everything.

Now think about it, he grew up in a glass house, but it is not a greenhouse, it is an infinite abyss, it is hell.

Shen Ti hugged An Wujiu under the sun and gave him the last comfort silently.

An Wujiu thought that maybe he made a big mistake in his last life, so God pressed a button and confiscated all the happiness he had ever had.

The only thing he has now is that he cannot be controlled by God.

Quietly looked at the people who came and went.

"I really want to see how she grows up."

"Maybe it's just that this list is incomplete, maybe she's not in country A anymore." Shen Ti's hand gently stroked An Wujiao's spine, "My intuition will not be a problem, you trust me."

The younger sister who could not be found is like the return date not given by the altar, they are all guillotine knives hanging brightly above their heads, An Wujiu does not know when it will fall.

It was almost dusk when they returned to Yang Erci's apartment. Everyone was there, each of them was very positive and happy, they were cooking when An Wujiu came in, the kitchen was very lively, even the kitchen killer Zhong Yirou was allowed by Wu You to stay there to squeeze juice.

"No blame! Come back? We have a lot of delicious food today!" Zhong Yirou was very enthusiastic, too enthusiastic.

An Wujiu smiled at her, "What's there to eat? Do you need my help?"

Zhong Yirou was stunned.

He's acting so normal that it makes me uncomfortable.

"Ah...they..." Zhong Yirou looked back at Yang Erci, then turned to An Wujiu, "Why don't you squeeze juice with me."

An Wujiu nodded.

"Then I'll go see Noah." Shen Ti said to him, walked to the master bedroom by himself, and before entering, he suddenly felt strange.

I can't tell what's wrong, but this feeling only lasted for a second or two, and soon dissipated.

Shen Ti opened the door and saw a child with a quilt on the bed.

He called Noah and walked towards the bed, "Are you okay?"

Noah did not answer him.

Shen Ti walked over and lifted half of the quilt.

Under the quilt is not Noah, but a pillow.

He frowned, turned his head and saw Noah standing behind the door.

The moment they looked at each other, Noah laughed.

"You lied to me!"

Shen Ti is not An Wu Jiao, his empathy for human beings is centered on An Wu Jiao and diminishes, An Wu Jiao is the most important in his heart, no one can relate to him To contend, the second is the people that An Wu Jiu values.

For the little girl in front of him, from the first sight of her, Shen Ti had a natural and subtle repulsion, but he was afraid that An Wujiu would find him strange and hate him, so he did not have any Performance.

Noah put his hands behind his back and tilted his head to look at Shen Ti, "You don't seem very happy, is it because I was deceived? But you also like to deceive people."

"Yes." Shen Ti walked towards her step by step, put his hand on the handle behind the door, bowed his head, those green eyes were full of a rare sense of deterrence and oppression, "You can lie to me, but you can't lie to him."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ti smiled softly again, like a real big brother, "After all, he treats you so well, right?"

Noah nodded, "Of course, brother blameless is the best."

Shen Ti's suspicion was not just due to pure intuition, many details made him feel strange.

No matter how smart Noah is, the altar is not entirely a brain game. With so many game copies that require high physical strength, it is a miracle that she can survive.

What's more, many times, Noah seemed to disappear from their sight.

Do the foreshadowing. So at that time he deliberately observed them, and the strangest of them was Noah.

Most of the time she was not with them and could not find her whereabouts, but not once did Shen Ti break her deal with other people, except for the occasional walk with Zhou Yijue .

Zhou Yijue is still her enemy in the casino.

These doubts cannot make Shen Ti characterize Noah as a good person, at most a neutral person.

After dinner, the sun has completely set, they drank some wine, Zhong Yirou talked about many things that happened in the past.

"I was actually very happy when I was a child. At that time, the family was not short of money at all." Zhong Yirou's cheeks were a little red, and her long hair was casually tucked behind her head with a chopstick. There's a slightly drunk feeling.

"What does your father do?" Wu You asked casually.

"He..." Zhong Yirou thought for a while, "It's similar to me, and he also does these things. When I was a child, I watched him sit in front of the table doing prosthetics, all kinds of things."

She was incoherent, "He said it was a very hard and difficult job, to make a little more money, I won't have to do this in the future."

"But I did it later." Zhong Yirou smiled.

Yang Erci frowned, as if thinking of something, "Where's your father?"

Zhong Yirou's head was dizzy, she took another sip, and she couldn't hold the cup in her hand, "He was burned to death."

After she finished speaking, she lifted up her long skirt, revealing the skin that had been replaced and re-grafted, and pointed it out to everyone, "Here, did you see it? The fire was so big, and I was the only one in our family. I escaped, it was my mother who protected me and let me escape, I don't know why it caught fire."

The room suddenly fell silent, and a few alarms suddenly sounded outside, which was particularly harsh.

But sirens are the norm here and no one cares. Instead, Zhong Yirou pointed out the window, "Listen, the police don't know."

"Then you're alone?" Nanshan asked in a light tone.

"Well," Zhong Yirou said, "I was in my teens at the time, better than Wu Jiao, but making money is really hard, hard, they force me to do what I don't want to do I kept running away, and then worked hard to teach myself... But I don't have a license, so I can only be a black doctor."

Zhong Yirou raised her head and took a breath, "But I've also worked very hard to treat everyone, and my patients like me very much."

"Of course." Shen Ti smiled and clinked glasses with her, "Who wouldn't like you."

Zhong Yirou laughed and touched Yang Erci with her own cup, but the whole person did not stabilize, leaned into her arms, and said "ouch".

Yang Erci supported her, her face was ugly, she looked at An Wujiu across a table of dishes.

An Wujiu will understand just from this one glance.

I am afraid her parents are the same as theirs, this fire is not an accident, but a conspiracy.

How many families are still broken due to the so-called evil **** who is coming back, An Wujiu does not know.

It is fortunate that they can gather here, it is the luck that many, many heartbreaks are piled up.

There seems to be a huge, terrifying magnetic field here that gathers those who have lost everything together and tastes their brokenness.

The meal ended with Zhong Yirou completely drunk.

Yang Erci helped her go back to sleep, Wu You, Nan Shan and Noah cleaned up the dishes, An Wujiu and Shen Ti cleaned up the kitchen.

Just after finishing all the garbage, An Wu Jiu suddenly received a call.

"Hello, do you remember me? You came to see me today."

An Wujiu suddenly thought of the girl who promised to help him, his back froze, "Remember, is there any news?"

"Yes," the girl paused and seemed to be hesitating, but with the encouragement of the people around her, she still said, "Actually... I was sold to a place where There are a lot of girls like me, and I stayed there for about half a year and knew a sister with a lot of connections."

"I asked her about it today, and she happened to tell me that there was indeed a girl at that time. She traveled to many cities and was finally sent to them. The reason why the sister remembered it was that Because the girl told them, like crazy, that she was looking for her brother."

"She said it soberly most of the time, the sister was very sure that the girl was not brainwashed at that time," she emphasized it again and continued, "but because she said her own My brother is in Chauvin, so everyone thinks of her as a lunatic. You know, it's impossible for people like us to have relatives working in such a big company.

Shen Ti didn't hear his call, but he felt a sharp heartache, as if through a silk thread, reaching his chest.

He stretched out his hand and held An Wu Jiu's cold hand.

"Are you still there?" the girl asked softly, and after getting a positive answer, she continued, "I'll send you the address that sister gave me, this is the last time she can inquire , she's not necessarily still there."

An Wujiu said with difficulty, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I'm not sure she must be, I'm afraid to make you happy, but I still want to tell you." The girl paused, "...Your sister is also looking for you very hard, I really hope you can meet tomorrow."

“Me too.” An Wujiu thought, he wants to see her tonight.

After hanging up, he received a message with an address sent.

An Wujiu zoomed in on the virtual map, zoomed in again, and then froze in place.

"This place..."

Shen Ti frowned, "Isn't that the nightclub in Gabriel?"
