Inside the villa, Dio took two cans of ice cream and sat down. He placed one can opposite him and opened the other can and drank half of it in one gulp. He urgently needed to calm down.
Although he could have clearly sent away this troublemaker who had come to his door along with the police, but in the end, when he saw the hope gradually disappearing in her eyes and the numbness gradually filling them, he decided to have a good talk with her.
"Drink it, and then tell me what happened. I want to hear the truth." Although his tone was a little harsh, you couldn't expect him to have much good feelings towards someone who lied and claimed to be his sister after just meeting her for the second time. Yesterday's good deed was just a casual act. If it weren't for those scumbags who picked the wrong fat sheep, he might not have meddled in other people's business.
The little girl didn't touch the Coke in front of her. She just pinched the corner of her clothes nervously, then lowered her head and narrated what happened in a low voice.
After hearing that she was just hesitating and wandering there because she didn't have the courage, and was mistakenly arrested by the police for wanting to do something bad, Dio almost spit out the Coke in his mouth.
He acted sneakily and ran away when he saw the police. Anyone would think there was something wrong!
Dio really found it very interesting, especially after knowing that she no longer did bad things, but listened to his advice and prepared to make a living by doing decent work, his mood suddenly became good, and he didn't even mind the fact that she pretended to be his sister. After all, in that situation, it would be difficult for her to think of any other way to get out.
only... ...
"How old are you this year? Is your family gone?"
As soon as this question was mentioned, the atmosphere fell into silence again.
Dio knew that something bad must have happened to her, and her parents were probably gone, but he never thought of living with such a burden from then on.
After all, they were just a chance acquaintance and he was not her real brother. At most, he helped her out of this brief encounter.
"You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to. The rent here is more than two months away. You can stay here until you find a job and a place to live. Don't worry, I'm going to move out today, so don't be afraid of anything."
Dio drank the ice cream in his hand, stood up and said that he had originally planned to move in these few days, but was a little reluctant to pay the rent. After all, it was Jessica who helped him find the place, and the rent was much cheaper. He was not going to return it for the remaining two months, as it would be a loss!
Now that this has happened, I might as well lend it to her to live in. It won’t be a waste.
Thinking of this, Dio prepared to pack up and leave. He didn't have much to move anyway, so the trunk could hold everything. He also planned to leave those daily necessities behind. They were not worth much anyway and could be bought anywhere.
But just as he stood up and prepared to leave, the little girl who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Crystal, my English name is Crystal, and my Chinese name is Sissi. I have no home and no parents, and now even the dean and his men have been killed by alien monsters."
"It's my fault, it's all because of me..."
Dio sighed and sat back down.
"Crystal? Crystal? It's a nice name. I remember that after the disaster, the government opened many institutions, some of which are dedicated to helping you in similar situations. Why don't you go and have a look?"
Although when it comes to taxation, Dio always feels angry and feels that his blood is being sucked away.
But we have to admit that the United States has done a lot of things with these taxes and provided a lot of welfare.
After the New York War, too many families were torn apart, and many children lost everything, their loved ones, their families, overnight...
In order to deal with this situation, the government has indeed taken out a lot of money specifically to support them to continue living and going to school.
Many wealthy people, including Tony, and countries around the world have also donated large sums of money and supplies. After all, no one is sure whether aliens will attack next time and where they will begin the invasion.
It has been a long time since countries around the world have put aside their conflicts and started to work together to overcome difficulties.
In the absence of external enemies, the earth will always fall into internal friction, but after this lesson, continuing internal fighting will only lead to death.
The vast universe is where they should focus their attention, instead of continuing to guard their own little piece of land and fighting over a few worthless stones.
That's why Dio asked her why she didn't accept help.
And Crystal's answer made him frown.
"I don't want to implicate others anymore. Anyone who comes into contact with me for a long time will be plagued by bad luck. If it weren't for me, my parents wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have been sent to an orphanage. Now I've killed them again..."
"Although I don't know what happened, I don't think it was your fault. It's just a coincidence." Dio advised.
This time, more than a few dozen people died in the New York War. Thousands of people were killed or injured. If everyone thought like her, then there would be no point in living.
But when Crystal excitedly told Dio about her experience, he suddenly realized that things might not be that simple.
Crystal's biological parents are both Chinese, but on the day she was born, her mother died of childbirth complications.
When she was three years old, her father also died on the spot in a car accident. The miracle was that the car was obviously crushed and theoretically it was impossible for anyone to survive, but she stubbornly survived without even a scratch on her body. Her story was reported in the newspapers at the time and attracted countless people's amazement.
And this is just the beginning of the nightmare...
After her parents passed away, relatives on both sides took over the responsibility of raising her, but strange things happened one after another.
Death-defying scenes frequently occur around her, but the strange thing is that she is always rescued from accidents unscathed, while her relatives around her always encounter misfortunes.
In the worst case, the patient will die.
If it was just one or two accidents, no one would say anything, but when this happened too many times, even if people remembered their old friendship, they would not dare to take in such a plague star who would bring bad luck to other people around him.
So after some discussion, Crystal was sent to a local orphanage.
This nightmare began to repeat itself in the following years. Although Crystal looked very well-behaved and cute, all the families who adopted her did not end up having a good outcome, and she would eventually be sent back to the orphanage.
Constantly being adopted, constantly being abandoned...
It was in this hellish life that she gradually became numb and unwilling to contact any strangers. In fact, after her story spread, no one dared to adopt her.
