Chapter 1644: Chapter 526: Balance City Overflowing with Malice

In fact, years have passed, and Wen Xishu is no longer certain if the girl before him is the one he knows.

After all, girls change greatly as they grow.

Especially since when he met this child, she was so young.

Some things are about fate.

Wen Xishu suddenly grew curious since he has seen her. So what about the other members who fought alongside him in the Deceit Tower, are they doing well now? Are they also in Balance City?

He didn’t know, he just looked at the girl before him, instinctively calling out to that familiar face:

"Nini?"

Yes, back then in the Deceit Tower, he met an unusually sensible little girl who called him father, and then Wen Xishu learned about the unfortunate past of the girl.

She had lost many fathers, her greatest obsession was with those fathers who had been "replaced." She was so weak; even though she missed her previous fathers dearly, she still had to survive and find a new father.

At the time, she probably thought that by playing the role of a good daughter, she would attract someone able to play the role of a good father.

But the girl before him had tattoos on her arms, covered with various enigmatic plants, fingernails and toenails dyed black, and she even had a lip piercing.

Her hair was dyed pink. The clothes she wore seemed like a visual kei style. It was fortunate he arrived early, as she hadn’t applied makeup yet.

Otherwise, with heavy makeup, he might not have recognized her... no, he definitely wouldn’t have.

The girl looked momentarily stunned, revealing wary eyes:

"Who are you? Don’t shout randomly!"

Wen Xishu said:

"I am Wen Xishu, a new member of this family, here to take on the role of your father."

He suddenly realized that saying it like that was inappropriate, but he had already spoken. He made it sound as though he was assuming a job.

The girl scrutinized Wen Xishu for a long time:

"I’ve never seen you before."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Yes, you haven’t seen me before."

The girl asked again:

"Did you inquire about me?"

Wen Xishu understood; this was asking why he knew the name Nini.

"I haven’t inquired about you."

The girl smiled:

"Many people around here know me; since you can call my childhood name, it seems like you want to stay here."

What Wen Xishu was somewhat curious about was:

Back then, so many spectators watched him with Liu Jianxin, didn’t this child count? Or once citizenship registration is completed, they will be forgotten?

Now Nini was about the same age as Wen Xishu. Wen Xishu was nearing nineteen. Nini looked sixteen or seventeen.

"Yes, I’ve already identified my goal, and I hope I can play well the role of your... father."

[Behavior failure, deduct two points, warning, if behavior continues to fail and the score drops below ten, it will be considered a major life failure. Demotion to Seven-Ring District family member.]

Wen Xishu suddenly froze, but Nini knew well:

"Heh, you’d better not say those two words, or even a single one, replace that word with ’take on’ or ’serve.’ Otherwise, you’ll lose points. Do not touch my things, and don’t mind how I live; I’ve got means to maintain here, my daily points are sufficient."

"As for you, if you want to be my dad, that’s your business, don’t expect me to really treat you as my dad."

"My role is not the same as yours, and I am not going to be any good girl. Got it?"

Wen Xishu was stunned.

He understood now, that word is play, perform, act, which is clearly part of the Abilities Dark Forest’s evaluation ability.

Back then, that tricolor cat explicitly said to screen for those qualified in acting. Even at the citizenship registration office, staff could still say the word "act."

But once he completed the citizenship registration and became a citizen of Balance City, this word was no longer allowed.

"And? Since we all live together, what else do you wish for me to do?" Wen Xishu still felt for Nini, this child.

"Are you obedient? Or are you pretending? Don’t play any nice guy games with me, I’ve seen plenty who want to get close to me; you’d better be sensible, I know many friends, don’t force me to ruin you." Nini’s eyes held an aggressive gleam.

No one talks about certain things without reason; their words always represent some sort of experience.

Wen Xishu said:

"I won’t stay here too long, I hope we can get along peacefully."

"Who cares, I’m going to get makeup done and then head to the Seven-Ring District." Nini opened the door. Although her words were about being unconcerned.

But reluctantly, she was still welcoming Wen Xishu to join this two-person family.

How had the once adorable and pitiful little girl become this way? Wen Xishu didn’t know, but he guessed, now asking would most likely yield no result.

His time was limited.

Although currently, the duel between Leo and Scorpio seems some time away, he must act quickly, he must return to the Bunker soon.

He needed to reach a balance tilted evaluation to go to the next family. Wen Xishu wasn’t sure if this was a way to gather obsessions.

But at least, perhaps he could try visiting a family in an Inner Ring region, maybe then he could gather some secrets about Balance City.

He walked into the room and found a place to sit.

The room was messy. Also not big, twenty-five square meters, with a bathroom, a kitchen, and the room emitted a smell of clothes not dried properly—a mixture of damp and laundry detergent scent.

The only thing relatively clean was the bed, neatly folded, surrounded by a row of small stools, as if the bed was the only... pure land.
