I Want a Low-key Traverser, So I Try to Act in Secret

"certainly"

……

"Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? Carl, our two families are so close, you actually assigned the property belonging to our family to an outsider!"

Facing the big golden retriever who was emotionally gesturing to the organist, Carl Steele's expression was very stable.

"Reed, I don't think I need to remind you that you and your brother's surname Lee is just a pseudonym, your real surname is Li in Chinese, and I can assure you that the man who looks like a young man is yours Grandfather, the real grandfather, strictly speaking, all the family property belongs to him"

"What are you kidding! He's too young to be my grandson..."

Reed was very emotional. After all, a piece of real estate worth hundreds of millions was suddenly taken away from his name, and no one could accept it. Especially the old Carl, who was a family lawyer, insisted on pointing at a young man or an Asian and said it was him. grandfather.

"Pay attention to your language..." Reese next to him pressed his brother's shoulder, "I think there is a reason for my father's insistence on whether we should learn Chinese or Mandarin, but..."

Reese turned his head to look at Old Carl. The two brothers were both Caucasian with blond hair and blue eyes. Even the eyelashes and carved hairs were golden, without any Asian features.

"Uncle Carl, do we look like people of the yellow race? I believe you are worthy of respect, and you are not eyeing our family's property, but it is difficult for me to accept this kind of argument without a reasonable reason."

Carl laughed, looking a little happy. He stood up and pulled out a book from the office bookshelf behind him... It was a mechanism, the book could only be pulled out halfway, and the bookshelf slid away silently, Reveal the safe behind.

Brothers Reese and Reid watched all this unexpectedly. They had played in this office since they were young, and they never knew that there was a safe behind the bookshelf.

Beep beep——Old Carl entered the password of the safe on the PIN pad, and also entered his fingerprint and iris.

While doing this, Old Carl also asked:

"Electronic systems, fingerprint verification, iris verification... Do you remember when these things appeared in our lives?"

Reed has a more irritable temper. He shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and looked at each other, expressing his confusion.

Rees thought for a while and replied:

"After the 80s, I remember when I was in college, there was just a keyboard-type safe, and fingerprint and iris verification technology appeared later... I don't remember the specific time, but the large-scale application should be in the 90s up"

Old Carl took out a photo from the safe, closed the safe, restored the bookshelf, sat down again, pressed the photo with a finger, and pushed it on the table in front of the two brothers.

"This safe was a gift from your grandfather sixty years ago. At that time, I was a down-and-out civilian lawyer on the streets of New York. Because I was a white man, I was more suitable to help your grandfather with some affairs, so I became your family lawyer. ,Until today"

The photo is a group photo of several people. Reid and Reese recognized their father when they were young, a blond woman who was radiant even after the baptism of time. She also looked very young, and she hugged them very affectionately with an uneasy expression on her face. The willing father, next to him is an Asian who seems to be wearing a toad mirror, and the old Carl in front of them, he was also a handsome blond guy at that time, not the dove-faced look he is today.

Old Carl seemed to have a voice with a bass surround sound effect.

"The woman in the photo is your grandmother, and this person is your grandfather. He was blind at the time. I have confirmed that there is nothing in his eye socket. The thing that looks like a toad mirror is a pair of electronic prosthetic eyes. Look carefully at his face, is it exactly the same as that young man?"

Both brothers were very interested in this photo, and what Carl Sr. said earlier, Reese looked at the back of the photo: 25.6.1959.

"It's unbelievable, it's the first time I've seen a picture of my dad when he was younger," Reese said.

"Your family tradition, at least it came from your father. The photos of John only increased after he was forty, and it was still influenced by your mother."

"Wait, this photo is in color. There was a color photo film sixty years ago?" Reed seemed to have discovered a new world, and he gestured to the organist again with some excitement.

"If it's true, there was no electronic system, fingerprint and iris verification technology sixty years ago." Reese looked at Old Carl opposite.

Old Carl leaned back on the boss chair very relaxedly, with a smile on his face, as if he was remembering something.

"Thinking about it now, I am able to achieve what I am today because I was born at the bottom, and I don't have any racial awareness... Your grandmother's genes are very strong, your father and you don't have any external characteristics inherited from your grandfather, but he My brothers and sisters are not like this..."

"You mean we have other uncles and aunts?" Reed interrupted old Carl and asked.

"Yes, but back then I only saw them occasionally"

"Where are they now?" Reese asked.

"Listen to me carefully..." Old Carl took a sip of the coffee in front of him, put down the cup, and then continued: "...At that time, your father and Mr. Li had a very serious disagreement because the little bird wanted to leave The set of things arranged by your parents to fly freely, plus you didn’t inherit any of your grandfather’s external characteristics, that’s why you were sent to settle in this, this, world, world.”

"this world?"

Reed didn't notice the words that Carl Sr. was emphasizing on purpose, Rees noticed.

"Yes, this world"

"Are you joking?" Reid also reacted when he heard the words, and looked at Old Carl again with the eyes of looking at Alzheimer's.

"No, I'm very sober and serious at the moment"

"Uh...you mean our family is an alien?" Reid stared at Old Carl.

"I just said that your grandparents and father are not from this world. As for aliens... I prefer parallel time and space. Your grandparents and father should be from the parallel time and space of the earth, not aliens. Because when your grandfather gave me the safe, it happened to be in 1960. At that time, it was said that the country on the other side of the earth gave birth to the dragon's song. A few years later, the atomic bomb was successfully developed there, becoming the fifth nuclear power in the world The Country of Woodenware"

The two brothers looked at each other and fell silent, thinking about the information contained in Old Carl's words.

……

This is an old building that used to be a library, but with the rise of e-reading, the library business was not enough to support its maintenance costs in one of the most expensive areas of land value in the world, so it closed.

Although the building is old, its various functions are perfect. Many facilities, such as elevators, are only old, but they are in very good condition.

When Old Karl brought Lee, it was actually the Li brothers who came here. The two brothers, including their bodyguards, tried many methods, but they failed to open the old sliding door that looked like a metal grid.

It wasn't until Old Carl swiped a badly worn ID card in the electrical box at the door that everyone entered the building.

When the bodyguards also wanted to enter, they were stopped by Old Karl and closed the gate.

"Just stay outside"

The bodyguard looked at Reed. He was their employer. Reese was a scholar and did not need a bodyguard.

Reed thought that the next scene might not be suitable for outsiders to be present, so he nodded and said, "It should be fine, you wait for me here"

Most of the interior of the building was dimly lit. Amid Reed's complaints, "Isn't the electricity bill paid here?", Old Carl led the two brothers to a reading room on the third floor as if he knew the way.

The lights are on here, and even Reed, who is not so observant, can feel something strange the moment he walks in here. It should be a dark room full of time and dust, but now the light is soft, and all the interior decorations seem to have been meticulously decorated. Like a renovation, the books on the bookshelves are neatly arranged, and all the furniture reflects the shining light.

The young man who was said to be their grandfather was leaning sideways on the seat with a yellowed book on his lap, looking at them.

"What are you bringing them here for, Karl?"

"They wanted to see you, so I brought them here, and I'll leave the rest alone"

Old Karl smiled, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment"

Li Xu threw something, and old Karl subconsciously picked it up, but he was getting older, and his reaction was not as good as before, so he missed it and didn't receive it.

The thing that flew past him and fell into the darkness outside the door suddenly stopped in mid-air, flew back a certain distance, and automatically landed in the palm of Old Carl.

Brothers Reese and Reed watched this scene in amazement.

Old Carl didn't seem surprised, he just looked at the thing in his hand, it looked like a Chinese medicine bottle.

"what is this?"

He shook and asked.

"Tonics that make your quality of life better...er, supplements? Tonics? Won't make you live longer, but at least keep you from peeing on your shoes"

Li Xu has lowered his head, and refocused on the books on his lap.

"Thank you"

Old Carl put the medicine bottle in his pocket, turned around, waved his hand smartly, and left.

At first the reading room was quiet.

There was only the sound of Li Xu occasionally turning the pages of the book.

"One..." Reese stood for a while, feeling a little awkward, and first spoke in Chinese. "I heard from Uncle Karl that you are our grandfather?"

The young man on the seat raised his head, with a lollipop in his mouth.

Wait, lollipop?When did he put it in his mouth?

Reese was a little absent-minded, because he was watching Li Xu all the time, and didn't see him put a lollipop in his mouth at all.

Li Xu glanced at them, a neatly combed golden hair, it is said that he is a university professor?The other was a golden-haired man with fluffy hair and a slutty old playboy... According to the omnipotent "spiritual mind" induction of the cultivator, both of them were indeed descendants of their own blood.

Nod.

"That's right, good grandson, both of you are my grandsons..."

This sentence is a bit strange. It is estimated that there is no language environment in normal times, and the two brothers Lisred did not feel it.

The younger brother Reed was more impatient, and took two steps forward to look down at Li Xu.

"Do you have any evidence? Don't think that you can fool Uncle Carl with some tricks of a crappy magician. You can fool Uncle Carl, but you can't... Aww!"

They also spoke Chinese with a strange accent, but before they could finish speaking, a cane was drawn on Li Xu's body, and Reid bounced back reflexively, but Li Xu had already got up and circled back, slapping a few canes, Just like his "Aww", "Stop!", "I'm angry"... Li Xu dodged all of his bloody punches, and finally he was so angry that he knelt on the ground with a puff.

When they were young, they were often educated by their father. The business of the two brothers was engraved into the bone marrow... Hey, don't engrave all the messy things in it.

When Li Xu bent the cane, took out the lollipop in his mouth and licked it a few times, and looked at Rees, he waved his hands and took two steps back.

"I didn't say those things. Also, how did you get this cane? I remember it was in my father's study in my hometown."

"Oh? This was used to educate your father before, but I rarely use it. It is usually used by your grandmother. It should not be the same as the one in your home study."

"That's how it is... Then can you please explain our doubts in detail? Although Reed is a bit rude, we have never seen you, and we have never heard of you from Dad. You just popped up like this It is difficult for us to accept that it is our grandfather.”

Li Xu thought for a while, put away the cane in his hand with a lollipop in his mouth, and this time the two brothers saw clearly that something like a cloud of black mist appeared on his hand, so he took the cane more than one meter long. The rattan disappeared as if inserted into a black hole, and there was nothing in his hand in an instant.

Turning back to sit on the sofa, crossing his legs together, he raised his chin.

Reed touched his body and stood up, and then suddenly remembered why he was so weak?Although the other party was young and had some tricks, he was the one who was physically strong... But when he met his eyes, Reid's mind suddenly went blank, as if he was... he couldn't find a good description, Anyway, it is much more terrifying than being stared at by natural enemies.

After he also sat down obediently, Li Xu opened his mouth, but the content of the question was very strange.

"Your father really didn't mention me a word?"

"Maybe I said it when I was very young. I have a vague impression of you as an entrepreneur with vague face and race information. After Reed and I were a little older, Dad rarely mentioned you."

Reese replied.

"Both of you can speak Chinese. Has your father told you The Legend of the White Snake? Or Journey to the West? Or other oriental fantasy legends?"

"Yes," Reed replied.

"What about western magic? Elves? Warriors? Dwarves?"

"I used to like playing dungeon games, but now, they are all online games. You don't want to say that these legends are true?" Reed asked.

"Since you all understand these concepts, it is easy to explain. I am a cultivator, an alchemist, and Fahai in the White Snake in Eastern mythology. Your grandmother is a witch, magician, and spell releaser in Western mythology. "

Reed looked at his brother, and Reese touched his chin, staring closely at his grandfather—Li Xu, who was biting his lower lip.

He turned his head, but he finally remembered the similar beating that he had never suffered since he was an adult, and said very politely: "Can you please prove it, please"
