405 Tell Her Families The Truth

"So how… how did you become like this, sister?" said Lin Wenwen.

Lin Qiao looked at her, then at Mrs. Lin, sighing, "You can ask me that, but I don't know how to answer. I woke up to find that I've become this woman. You didn't see how I looked at first. Even my face was broken back then, and so was my stomach."

Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Wenwen with red eyes. She didn't expect Lin Wenwen to directly call 'sister' out loud, and Lin Qiao to just accept that.

She was truly her Qiao!

As she finally confirmed Lin Qiao's identity, Mrs. Lin couldn't stop her tears from streaming down her cheeks.

"Don't cry. Am I not back?" Lin Qiao took a piece of tissue from the table and handed it to Mrs. Lin as she said gently. Mrs. Lin only sobbed in response, but didn't say anything.

Lin Wenwen held Mrs. Lin's hands and said, "Mom, shouldn't you be laughing right now? Why are you crying!" She said that with a smile, but her eyes had turned red too.

Lin Qiao stood in front of them and said to them, "I was in Sea City when I woke up. The previous owner of my body was from Sea City Base. She died, killed by zombies. So, when I woke up, I woke up as a zombie… very ugly, and with inflexible limbs."

Lin Wenwen and Mrs. Lin were slightly distracted by her words. "When did you wake up?" Both of them asked with curiosity.

Lin Qiao sat back into the chair and said, "About three months ago. I heard that was the exact time when Hades Base was destroyed. I knew nothing about you when I woke up, so I decided to take a shot by going to the South to find you guys. And I really found you."

Mrs. Lin found Lin Qiao's words a little weird. She wiped her tears, then couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'you heard'? Don't you remember that?"

"My memory stopped at the point before the apocalypse," said Lin Qiao, "I don't remember anything that happened in the recent few years. At first, I thought Lin Qiao from Hades Base was another person."

Both Lin Wenwen and Mrs. Lin were stunned and gave each other a glance filled with confusion, What did Lin Qiao mean by her memory stopping before the apocalypse?

Mrs. Lin popped her eyes to look at Lin Qiao with surprise, then said after a short hesitation, "Are you saying that you don't remember the things that happened in the recent few years?"

Lin Wenwen too had been staring at Lin Qiao with shock. Both she and her mother were waiting for Lin Qiao's answer.

Lin Qiao nodded and said, "No, I don't remember. When I woke up, all I could remember was that I had a bad fever, so I stayed in my dorm, took some medicine, and got to bed to rest. Unexpectedly, I woke up to find my soul in someone else's body after that. As for when the apocalypse happened, and what I did in the recent five years, I don't remember any of it."

Lin Wenwen and Mrs. Lin gazed at Lin Qiao without knowing how to react.

Lin Qiao continued, "Fortunately, I still remembered who I was. If I had forgotten that, there would be no one to save your lives."

Hearing that, Lin Wenwen finally recovered from the shock. "So… so… so… Sister, you don't remember how you died, do you? And, or… Did you do something to bring yourself into Lu Tianyu's body?" she asked, still sounding a little confused.

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, "I've told you that I don't remember."

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Mrs. Lin complained at that moment. After saying that, she almost started crying again.

Lin Qiao hurriedly comforted her, "Mom… don't cry. I didn't tell you because I hadn't figured out the situation yet. Even I was confused, so how was I supposed to tell you about what happened? Besides, even if I said the truth directly to you once I saw you, would you believe me? No normal people would believe that, right? We don't live in a fiction where people can reincarnate."

"Didn't you reincarnate?" said Lin Wenwen, "You reincarnated into someone else's body and came back to life! This is really like something that happens in a fiction!"

Mrs. Lin thought for a moment over her words, then nodded in agreement, "You're right. If you told us at first, we wouldn't believe you. How could such a thing possibly happen? But, now you… Has your soul come back, or did something else happen there?"

Lin Qiao shook her head and responded, "I have no idea."

Lin Wenwen suddenly thought of something, so she spoke, "Ah, thankfully that Lu Tianyu was already dead when you reincarnated into her body. You only borrowed her body which she couldn't use anymore. If you reincarnated into a living person's body, would you have to share the body with that person? Or, would you fight over it?"

While speaking, she fixed her glowing eyes on Lin Qiao with excitement.

Lin Qiao glanced at her and said, "If that was the case, what you said might happen."

At that moment, the look in Mrs. Lin's eyes changed as she spoke abruptly, "Perhaps, it's a good thing for you to forget about what happened in these years."

"It might be better if you never remember certain things."

Lin Qiao looked at her mother, knowing what she was thinking of. However, even if she could never remember those things, she would figure them out in some other way.

"Mom, even if I can't remember, I'm still gonna find out exactly how the Hades Base was broken. Did I really put too much trust in that guy named Yang Jianhua? But, I had no feelings when I saw him. Why?" she asked with great confusion.

Hearing her mention Yang Jianhua, both Mrs. Lin and Lin Wenwen had their expression changed as Mrs. Lin said wrathfully, "Yang Jianhua is not a good person! He is treacherous and sly! If you see him again, you better kick his a*s hard! He's the reason why you became like this, and why we escaped here!"

"He is a pervert! Nasty man! Scum!" Lin Wenwen added through clenched teeth.

Lin Qiao looked at them bewilderedly, and couldn't help but ask, "Is he really that bad? What exactly did he do? I didn't get the full details from Du Yuanxing and Qingying. Tell me what happened."

Mrs. Lin and Lin Wenwen glanced at each other. After that, the latter turned to Lin Qiao and said, "Sister, do you really not remember him at all? He lied to you, and all of us!"

Lin Qiao frowned as she said confusedly, "This time… I think I have remembered one thing. However, my memories aren't clear. I seem to remember that I was forced to a cliff, facing five men, all at level-seven. The one in the middle was… pretty? I remember that I blew myself up in that place… My power was a black fire… A huge black fire exploded… Ouch!"

While speaking, that picture emerged in her mind again, following which came waves of sharp pain that made her give out a muffled moan.
