Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1585: Prisoner
No, no, no matter how much I think about it - he definitely never mentioned the name "Sakura Mizugan"!
At this moment, Wu Yiyanagi's brain was scattered like building blocks that had been kicked away, and pieces of thoughts tumbled out at the same time, scattered everywhere.
On the day when he explained the situation to the Evolutionary in the basement, in order to gain allies and help, he did tell the truth about Professor Qiao's experience. This wizened woman was also present at the time.
Although he has introduced his relationship with the protagonist in his experience, he has never let the names "Sakura Mizugan" and "Qiao Yuanji" slip out of his mouth at once. This he can be 100% sure of.
How did she know?
"Take them two with you," the wizened woman stared at them and ordered to the two burly guards who had just walked in. "Follow me to the central control room."
She was so thin that it seemed like it would break when she bent down, and there would be a crisp "click" sound. At this moment, she was just staring at the two of them, with her arms still folded in front of her chest, leaving such a wide space that it seemed that it was enough for people to rush out of the door - but Yachiyanagi knew very well that this was just an illusion.
It might be easier to break the cement seal than to escape from her.
What's more, he has Professor Qiao beside him.
Wu Yiliu's arm was roughly pulled by someone. He staggered forward two steps and finally looked back at Professor Qiao. He didn't dare to look at her because he was afraid that she would misunderstand him and see her expression; he was looking at her now because he was afraid that the old lady would be injured by the guard. But when his eyes fell on Professor Qiao, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Emotions such as anger, fear, despair, regret... there was not even a trace on her face.
Even though the guard held down his arm and pushed him out of the door, Professor Qiao still looked like he was in a dream. She looked like she had just taken a long nap, and woke up half asleep at dusk. Her footsteps wandered in the dim evening, dazed, and she had not yet remembered who she was.
As she was being pushed past the wizened woman, Professor Qiao glanced at the latter, with a look that could even be vaguely called expectation - like a child who knew that his parents would not buy him anything. I still can’t help but fantasize about the toys I want.
Wu Yiliu tasted the irony taste of blood in his mouth, and then he released his teeth from biting his inner cheek.
Before leaving the candy house, he looked back and saw the middle-aged man staring at him palely, holding on to the wall with one hand, as if he would fall if he didn't hold on.
The place they were taken to was not the hall that Ichiyanagi had been to last time. They were taken into the corridor on the left, and then pushed into an ordinary empty room - very ordinary, there was even a row of windows that were half open. It looked as if they could just lift their legs and climb over the window sill. Opportunity to escape.
After the two guards left, the wizened woman closed the door. Professor Qiao and Wu Yiliu stood in the middle of the room; the sleepwalking look on the old lady's face was slowly fading like mist, but Wu Yiliu couldn't tell whether she was back.
His eyes followed the withered woman across the room and watched her close the window. That look was as casual as closing the windows before going to bed at night.
She stood in front of the window sill and pulled out a small pendant from her collar. By the time Yachiyanagi realized that it was probably a storage device, she was already holding a small iron cage in her hand that didn't exist just now.
"To be honest," the withered woman's back was facing them, obviously not considering them as a threat at all. "As ordinary people, you have done a really good job. Even I felt a little respect after watching it."
...No, there is a break in the middle.
If NPC training is not taken into account, then the last conversation that Yachiyanagi had with the wizened woman took place at the intersection after the evolution party's party. Between that conversation and now becoming a prisoner, there was a link that was broken. Yatanagi could clearly realize that something was missing, but he couldn't figure out what it was for the moment.
This may not matter. The most critical and urgent thing right now is: What will she do to the two of them? She herself has not transformed, and now she has allowed the transformed guards to leave. Does this mean that, at least for the time being, she will not allow them to be forcibly infected?
The wizened woman held the small iron cage and walked slowly back to the door.
"What the hell..." Wu Yiliu said dryly, "How did you..."
He didn't have to pretend, he looked overly shocked and couldn't even form a sentence. The wizened woman smiled, as if she was very satisfied with his reaction, and suddenly reached out and threw it - the small iron cage hit the floor under their feet with a clang. Before Yiliu came to his senses, countless iron railings fell. Like vines, it quickly climbed over the entire room, turning the place into a cage in the blink of an eye.
The floor under his feet was replaced by concrete, and the heavy leaden walls around him were squeezed until only a small space was left; an iron fence rose from between the two of them, separating him from the old lady. It rose into the ceiling, spread out from the ceiling, and "covered" most of the room.
"A teacher and his students want to get rid of the rule of the fallen species." The skinny woman stood outside the newly formed cage, tilted her head and said: "If you can have the opportunity to evolve, you will definitely become quite good Evolutionaries. Unfortunately, we will not let you succeed."
The strong feeling of "missing a link" once again scratched the corners of Yaichi Liu's consciousness. What it is, he can't figure it out no matter how hard he thinks about it - it's also because there are so many things that need his attention now.
For example~IndoMTL.com~Professor Qiao has never said anything.
"How do you know Sakura...that name?" When Ichiyanagi asked this question carefully, out of the corner of his eye, the old lady seemed to raise her head slightly. "I obviously didn't say anything..."
"You are quite careful, but when you talk about the experience thirty-six years ago, there are some parts that cannot be explained clearly without going into details. Use the details you revealed to find out the story The protagonist is not difficult. For example, she works in a university, which has narrowed the scope of who she is a lot. It didn’t take us much time to confirm that the protagonist should be a teacher you know in school."
It may be strange to say it, but Ichiyanagi felt that the skinny woman might indeed have respect for them - she clearly looked down on ordinary people, but she patiently said so much at this moment. When she looked at Professor Qiao, she even looked a little worried, as if this ordinary old lady had the ability to do anything to the evolved person.
"Could it be that..." Wu Yiliu looked at her blankly, a little afraid to answer the question completely in front of Professor Qiao.
Professor Qiao spoke calmly on the other side of the cell fence. "You want to say... you used the same method to find Yingshui Bank in the vast apocalyptic world?"
