Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen listened more and more and felt something was off, puzzled about how Tie could know about his second brother's matters.

Although he didn't understand the situation, no matter how he looked at it, Tie just couldn't be his second brother.

"Big sister, does he look like our second brother to you?" Lin Shen quickly reminded her.

Lin Miao scrutinized Tie carefully; indeed, he didn't resemble their second brother. But the longer she looked, the more a sense of familiarity crept in. If one ignored the face and the half-steel body, this man's build and aura were very much like Lin Yin's.

For a moment, Lin Miao actually hesitated.

"Big sister, you do remember me, don't you? I can't remember what happened, and maybe I look a bit different from before, but I can feel it, you are my big sister, the feeling between relatives can't be wrong," Tie said to his sister with absolute certainty.

"Big sister..." Seeing Lin Miao's hesitation, Lin Shen hurried to remind her that they couldn't just confirm Tie was their second brother because he knew some things about him—that would be too far-fetched.

"Don't rush." Lin Miao stopped Lin Shen and said to Tie, "Take off your shirt, let me see your back."

Although Tie didn't know what Lin Miao was planning to do, he knew she must have a way to confirm his identity. Without asking anything, he took off his vest and turned his back to Lin Miao.

The gazes of Lin Shen and the others fell on Tie as well, curious about what Lin Miao was up to.

Tie's physique was robust and well-built, half eerie dark steel and half strong muscles. The perfection of the muscular half was in no way inferior to the Steel Body.

Lin Miao fixated on the fleshy half of Tie's back and immediately became emotional. She walked quickly closer, reaching out to touch a spot on Tie's lower back.

There was a red birthmark as big as a quail egg, shaped like a square-hole copper coin.

"That's right... that's right... Yin... it really is you... it really is you... where have you been all these years..." Lin Miao's emotions suddenly collapsed, and she began to sob, holding onto Tie tightly.

"Big sister..." Tie held Lin Miao's shoulders, the eye on the human side of his face also red, looking very emotional.

Lin Shen was dumbfounded, his mouth agape, staring at the two of them crying in each other's arms.

"No way... it's not possible... could it be because of some kind of body mutation... that second brother looks a bit different from before..." Lin Shen was full of doubts for a moment.

"Big sister, are you sure he's our second brother?" Lin Shen saw that Lin Miao had somewhat regained her composure and quickly asked again.

"There's no mistake, the shape and location of this copper coin birthmark are exactly the same, there's no doubt," Lin Miao stated with certainty.

For a moment, Lin Shen also began to waver, thinking such a strange birthmark couldn't possibly be such a coincidental match.

What Lin Shen thought would be a test to make Tie give up hope had turned into an extensive scene of family recognition, with Lin Miao pulling Tie into conversation, becoming more and more certain that he was indeed their second brother, Lin Yin.

Although Tie could not remember many things, the bits and pieces he did remember all matched up.

"What's going on?" Lin Shen only felt his scalp go numb, his brain in a whirl.

The strange old Tie he had been avoiding... could he really be his second brother, Lin Yin?

Lin Shen couldn't be certain but found no evidence to refute it either.

Tian Xin, standing aside, was also stunned; he too had thought it unlikely that Tie could be Lin Shen's real brother, but now, it seemed they truly were siblings.

"Wei, do you think it's possible he really is him?" Lin Shen went to the side, looking at the two immersed in genuine emotion and quietly asked Wei Wufu.

Wei Wufu looked at Lin Shen, then at Tie, and nodded, saying, "It... seems..."

"What does 'striking resemblance' mean? It means not looking alike, right?" Lin Shen was somewhat at a loss for words.

But by this point, he seemed to have nothing to say, and could only keep silent.

Lin Miao was very happy and had lunch prepared, calling Lin Shen and the others to eat together.

Sitting to the side, Lin Shen felt very awkward. He simply could not accept that the oddball Tie was actually his second brother.

"Little Five, what are you spacing out for? It's not often your second brother comes back. He must have suffered a lot out there over the years. We need to take good care of him and chat more with him. I'll toast to your second brother," Lin Miao was very happy.

"Right, we're all family now. You're Tie's little brother, and I'm Tie's brother, so we're brothers now. I'm older than you, so just call me Brother Xin from now on," Tian Xin said cheerfully, raising his glass, "Come on, Little Five, let's drink to our second brother...no, let's drink with our second brother..."

"What are you talking about? From now on, you should call me big brother; everyone here is your big brother, got it?" Lin Shen felt frustrated, unable to stomach the situation.

"That's not how it works..." Tian Xin quickly interjected.

"Then how does it work? Do you want me to call your little aunt over here and discuss it properly with you...?" Lin Shen said.

"I don't care, I'm your second brother's brother, so you have to call me brother," Tian Xin was fuming.

...

When Lin Shen returned to Paradise Palace, it was already dark, but fortunately, he had the Nightglow Flower, so he did not fear the darkness.

Entering Tian Xun's room, Lin Shen's eyes suddenly lit up.

The night was so dark, yet there seemed to be a light within this darkness.

That light... so white...

When Lin Shen woke up the next day, he felt life was so fleeting, and that one should do meaningful things, not waste time any longer.

So many humans were still suffering, and in the universe, countless races were enduring hardships and unfair treatment, waiting for a savior to rescue them.

Lin Shen felt that as a member of the countless races in the universe, he should stand up, and strive for the rise of humanity and the peace of the universe.

"If I don't enter hell, who will? If I don't become a sage, who will? A true man should be strict with himself, strive for progress, and even in death, leave behind achievements in the universe."

Lin Shen ruthlessly declined Tian Xun's invitation to sleep in a bit longer and resolutely got up from bed, determined to train hard for the freedom of the countless races of the universe.

After eating breakfast, including two extra eggs and not seeing anyone else come for breakfast, Lin Shen couldn't help but lament: "Who has seen Paradise Island at nine-thirty in the morning? There aren't many as diligent as me now. Those lazy people will eventually be eliminated by the world. And me, I will rise against the current and become the pioneer of the times..."

Lin Shen went to the training field alone, puffed out his chest, pushed the door open, and saw Tian Xin, Wei, and Tie discussing something inside.

"Ahem... good morning..." Lin Shen coughed lightly and then turned to close the door.

"It's this time of day, and you say 'good morning'?" Tian Xin glanced at him.

Lin Shen ignored him and approached Wei, saying: "Wei, how come you're here so early and didn't call for me to join?"

"Noisy," Wei Wufu said in just one word.

"Ahem..." Lin Shen, changing the subject, said: "Come on, Wei, let's practice together. It's been a while since we sparred. Let me see if your skills have gotten rusty."
