Strange Realm: Old Object Collector

Chapter 21 Brother and Sister
  Entering the home, Mother Chen was still watching TV. When she saw him coming in, she just turned her head and glanced, and then went back to watching soap operas.

Chen Wang was somewhat used to this and entered his room directly.

As a cheap mother, I mean to be kind to myself when I ask for money.

Other times, I wish I could treat myself like air.

Entering the room, Chen Wang sank into the quilt and exhaled softly.

Ever since he came out of the Strange Realm, his nerves have been tense.

Now that I have acquired the characteristic of Eye of the Void, I can finally relax a little.

After lying for a while, Chen Wang suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside.

Immediately afterwards, the annoyingly noisy soap opera sound disappeared. It must be Chen's mother who turned off the TV.

"Xiaoyi, are you back? Come on, I'm making chicken soup here." Mother Chen's voice sounded.

"No, I don't want to drink." Chen Yi said in a cold voice.

Then, the door next to Chen Wang's bedroom rang, and it was Chen Yi who entered the bedroom.

"Hey, this child." Mother Chen's sigh came.

Chen Wang listened to what was going on outside without any change in his expression. He just took out the slingshot, dagger, and stab-proof clothing from under his bed. After checking them, he put on the stab-proof clothing with him.

Although he read several posts and confirmed that the second time he entered the strange realm, it took three days.

But in order to prevent accidents, it is better to carry it with you from now on.

"Dong dong dong..." At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.

When he heard the knock on the door, Chen Wang immediately became alert and quickly stuffed the box containing the crossbow arrows under the bed.

"It's me." The girl's cold voice sounded outside.

Hearing the voice, Chen Wang's expression softened a little, and he walked to the door and opened the door.

The door opened and Chen Yi walked straight in.

But after entering, her brows frowned slightly.

This room is really not big. Apart from a bed, there is only a half-meter wide and two-meter long corridor.

As soon as she came in, the place suddenly became a little crowded.

When Chen Wang saw this, he immediately sat on the bed to give Chen Yi room to stand.

"I asked you what you asked me to ask today." Chen Yi said.

Chen Wang was slightly surprised when he heard her words.

He asked the other party to ask about this matter yesterday. He didn't expect that his cheap sister would ask it out so quickly.

Originally, he was thinking that if his cheap sister didn't ask, then he would let the other party give up asking.

Because he also learned from Mr. Yu today that the water in this matter is very deep and might easily cause trouble.

"Then Wang Lili committed suicide. She and her classmate Liu Qingwen committed suicide together. Then Xie Ling passed by and rescued Liu Qingwen, but Wang Lili died." Chen Yi recounted what she heard today.

"There should be no problem with this matter." After saying this, she paused and said, "The Public Security Bureau has talked to Xie Ling and Liu Qingwen. Both of them said the same thing."

"Yes." Chen Wang nodded, and the appearance of Wang Lili's corpse appeared in his mind.

When he cleaned Wang Lili's body, he found that there was a lot of sand on Wang Lili's body, and there were some foam and light red blood in her mouth and nose.

This is indeed death by drowning.

It is also consistent with Chen Yi's words.

However, Chen Wang still had some doubts in his heart.

The way Mr. Yu asked him not to investigate today seemed to have happened to him, which convinced him that there was something fishy about Wang Lili's death.

"Forget it, none of this has to do with me." Chen Wang shook his head inwardly. He still had a lot of troubles of his own, but he had no intention of meddling with someone else's affairs. "Thank you, I will tell the family of the deceased about this." Chen Wang nodded and said.

Then he paused and said: "By the way, don't tell others that the family of the deceased is asking about this matter. If someone asks you, just say that you asked because of curiosity."

Regardless of whether this matter was fishy or not, he didn't want his cheap sister or himself to get into trouble.

"I know." Chen Yi responded coldly, then opened the door and prepared to go out.

But before going out, she paused.

She hesitated for a while, then looked at Chen Wang and said, "Chen Wang, if there is a chance for you to go back to school, will you go back?"

Listening to Chen Yi's words, Chen Wang was stunned and frowned slightly.

What happened to my sister? Why are you saying this suddenly?

If it were before, he would really want to go to school.

After all, in this world, without a diploma from a top university, there is almost no future.

After all, the job threshold for some companies is a diploma from a first-class university.

However, now he has entered the realm of mystery.

The Strange Realm is extremely dangerous. Even if he goes to study, he probably won't be able to focus on studying.

Not to mention, go to a first-class university.

"I won't go. I'm at work now and can't even read." Chen Wang shook his head.

Having said this, he stared into Chen Yi's eyes and said, "Also, don't be so insignificant on a normal day. You should call me brother."

He had long been unhappy with Chen Yi's name.

Regardless of his predecessor or himself, no matter what, he helped the other party pay so much tuition.

The other party was actually unwilling to call him brother.

If it had been before, Chen Wang would have forgotten it.

But now he is going to enter the Strange Realm tomorrow, so he is too lazy to get used to Chen Yi's bad habits.

Looking at Chen Wang's serious eyes, Chen Yi felt a little sour in his heart, and his cold face showed a hint of grievance.

She asked her brother about the matter and was thinking about whether to try to get her brother to go back to school.

The other party was actually so cold to me and even cruel to me.

Thinking of this, her eye circles suddenly turned red, and a mist of water appeared on her eyes.

When Chen Wang saw her crying, he was also startled, a little panicked, and said quickly: "Forget it, just don't scream if you don't want to. There is no need to cry."

When he said this, Chen Yi felt even more aggrieved, and tears fell down drop by drop.

"Okay, okay, you are my sister, okay? You were the one who took it out first." Chen Wang felt a little headache.

Hearing his words, Chen Yi felt dumbfounded for a moment.

Can this be changed back?
  At the same time, Chen Yi also found that she seemed to know too little about her brother.

I used to think that the other party was a bit taciturn, but now it seems that his true personality is a bit different.

"I know." Chen Yi said in a low voice and went out directly.

Chen Wang looked at the door being closed, and for a moment he didn't come back to his senses.

Know what?

He didn't know for a moment whether the other party knew that he knew that he would be his younger brother, or that he knew that he would call him brother from now on.
