Abnormal crossing

Chapter 163 gradually became strange.

Qiao Kewen did feel guilty towards his younger sister.

Fifty years ago.

Qiao Kewen has just been admitted to the higher education institution, and his future is clearly promising. He possesses influence without excessively interfering in the internal affairs of civilizations.

Therefore, in the eyes of Boko III, who had just ascended the throne and publicly selected a wife, she was the perfect target for him to win over.

As for Jokowen himself, he also needed an external force to take care of his home planet after Mold was severely weakened and its phosphate mines were extracted.

In this situation.

Adele then took the initiative to propose marrying into the Boska royal family, thus becoming the link between Jokowi and Boko III.

True.

Adele has had a relatively good life in Bosca these past few years, and the couple gets along well, but such political marriages are ultimately very different from ordinary marriages.

It can be said like this.

To allow Joaquin to leave Molde with peace of mind, Adele chose a completely different path in life.

However, due to various reasons, Joko Wen himself could only communicate with Adele through online platforms, and the last time they met in person was more than ten years ago.
After putting down your hand.

Jokowen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and pointed to the people behind him, saying, "Come, Adele, let me introduce you. These are the crew members of the Khan. This is Shalin, the first mate. This is Malelai. This is Bakambu."

Several of the 'Khan' crew members whose names were called by Jokowen also bowed to Adele—Mold's usual courtesy was the one that Speaker Gray had used before, which was to make a fist with the left hand, keep the arm parallel to the chest, and gently stroke the right hand from the left shoulder down the arm to the wrist.

This etiquette involves touching a fairly large area of ​​skin, and Gu Wei was always wondering what would happen if someone had sweaty hands and it was a hot day, and after performing the etiquette, they rubbed off a layer of grime.
Adele also politely returned the greetings one by one.

After everyone had finished bowing.

Adele led the group to the sofa and sat down.

After seated.

Adele glanced at Jokowen a few more times, then gently covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, "Brother, why are you still using this Kunku alien skin? If I hadn't seen you on the Starsea Internet, I almost wouldn't have recognized you."

“Adele, wait a minute,” Jokovin interrupted Adele before she could finish her sentence: “We can talk about trivial things later. I have something important to discuss with you now.”

Qiao Kewen's voice was exceptionally clear in the meeting room, which slightly changed the atmosphere inside.

The soft light bulbs suspended on the ceiling seemed to sense something and intelligently adjusted their brightness, casting everyone's shadows onto the wooden floor.

"."

Adele ran her fingers along the rim of the teacup in front of her, frowning in confusion as she looked at her long-lost brother: "Brother, what's wrong?"

“Something’s happened on our home planet,” Jokowen paused, looking at Adele. “Due to the special circumstances, I need to confirm some things first. That is, I need to ask you some questions.”

Adele was silent for a moment, and although she didn't understand why, she still cooperated and said, "Brother, ask away."

“Okay,” Joe Cowen nodded. “When you were four years old, what did you secretly bury in the third branch tunnel of the mine near your home?” Adele glanced at the expressionless crew members of the Khan around her, and although she was puzzled, she still gave her answer: “A glass bottle containing my baby teeth.”

“Very good,” Qiao Kewen raised an eyebrow slightly and continued, “The second question is, what did I do with the first scholarship I received when I was in school?”

“You gave half to your parents, and convinced them to use the other half to buy a holographic projector, saying it was for studying,” Adele said quickly. “But in reality, you only used less than 80% of it to buy a second-hand one, and under the pretense of studying, you downloaded a bunch of novels and movies—you used the money you saved to treat me to three nice meals, hoping I would be your wingman for picking up female students.”

Gu Wei's gaze towards Qiao Kewen immediately changed: "."

Brother, you're a genius!
"Ahem," Qiao Kewen's face flushed slightly upon seeing this, and he coughed lightly: "Actually, the second half doesn't need to be explained in so much detail—well, the third question, when you came to me to discuss the marriage alliance with Boko III, what was the sentence you used to convince me?"

Say it.

Joe Cowen then fixed his gaze on Adele's eyes.

This time.

Adele paused for about ten seconds before letting out a sigh of deep emotion: "Brother, if you want to pluck the stars, someone has to light a lamp for you at the doorstep."

The translucent vine leaves moved swiftly without wind, and Qiao Kewen's vision was momentarily blurred by the shadows of the leaves.

And in a daze.

The somewhat aged face before me seemed to be slowly overlapping with another youthful and beautiful figure.

But soon.

The spiritual leader of Mold suppressed his emotions, turned to look at Jin, and nodded slightly: "The memory module has been verified as correct, Adele. It seems you are indeed fine."

“I’ve never had any problems, okay?” Adele glanced at her eccentric older brother. “On the contrary, you seem a bit strange, brother. I thought you’d hit your head on a meteorite when you were picking stars.”

Upon hearing this, Joe Cowen sighed and shook his head, saying, "The main problem is that this situation is too unusual; even Speaker Gray almost fell victim to it."

"Speaker Gray?" Adele was stunned for a moment, sitting up a little straighter. "What's wrong with him?"

Despite being married to Bosca for many years, Adele's impression and memory of Speaker Grey were by no means weak, after all, it was he who staked the future of his people to send her brother out of the Labyrinth.

“There’s something wrong with the bag you had Ophelia take back,” Jokovin said, gesturing with his hands in front of him. “There’s a special symbol in the bag, a kind of contamination we can’t understand, which immediately pinpointed Speaker Gray.”

"To be honest, if I hadn't accumulated some wealth over the years and arrived at the scene immediately, Speaker Gray would probably be dead by now, but even so, he is still unconscious."

Before Qiao Kewen could finish speaking...

Adele, just as Jokovin had done not long ago, interrupted him in return: "Brother, what did you say? The cloth bag that I asked Ophelia to take back?"

Joe Cowen nodded, thinking Adele hadn't heard him clearly: "Yes, it's the one with the sealant on it."

“Wait a minute, brother,” Adele interrupted Jokowi a second time, her expression extremely serious:

"But I have never sent anyone to deliver any cloth bag to Ophelia."
