“Hmm… ..”
When I opened my eyes, what came into view was a familiar white ceiling.
"... ah."
It took less than a second for Gu Moli to quickly understand his situation, and he recalled his fragmented memories after just waking up.
"Sure enough, there is something like an emergency escape device."
“I’m back again.”
That’s right, the ceiling in front of him was the white secret room where Gu Moli had stayed for several days. Right next to him, the ghost Aisia was holding a pure silver ring, which was the abnormal object that allowed Gu Moli to possess and act in the outside world.
In other words.
"Am I being dragged back?"
"Feel sorry... ."
Aisia grinned, then held Renwei for me and sank directly into the basement of the secret room.
By the way, after so many times in a row, Gu Moli also discovered some characteristics of Aisia as a ghost. The most obvious one is that her ghost state seems to be contagious. She can consciously transform certain objects into the same ghost state as her.
Thanks to this.
Gu Moli now even began to suspect that this secret room might really have no entrance or exit, and the interior of the secret room might have been decorated by this weird ghost lady.
But anyway.
"I'm back after all."
"But that's true."
The last part of Gu Moli's memory was that he had just finished writing those two paragraphs in the Book of Idient at 488---13, and saw researcher Elena slowly waking up.
Then he returned to the room.
The specifics are a bit fuzzy though.
But it's just a rough guess.
Put yourself in Elena's shoes. She was fine when she was suddenly knocked unconscious by something. When she woke up, she found that "999---27", which was also an abnormal object, acted on its own and was holding the Book of Idient that she wanted to retrieve. What would she think
In that situation, it is natural to cut off contact with the outside world as soon as possible.
I understand.
That’s right, Gu Moli was not angry at all.
After walking around twice, Gu Moli, who felt a little hungry, subconsciously looked at the hell tablecloth on the dining table beside him, thinking of the sardine head that almost gave him a nightmare before, and how he had escaped to the outside world but narrowly escaped death, and didn't even have the chance to have a full meal... ..
"If you don't come back and apologize to me later, I will never let it go!!!"
... ... ... ...
After that, I don't know how many hours passed.
Aisia's figure slowly emerged from the wall of the secret room with some embarrassment.
"Mr. Gu...?"
"snort!"
Gu Moli sneered, crossed his arms, shook his head, and shifted his gaze, all in one smooth movement.
"Elena asked me to come and apologize to you, and I hope you can understand that this is for the sake of experimental safety, and there is no intention to target you..."
"hehe."
"... Of course, we also know that you are a little unbalanced right now."
"How could that be?"
Gu Moli's eyes rolled, and his tone suddenly became sarcastic: "I am a guinea pig, and a guinea pig should have the awareness of a guinea pig. Even if I survived a near-death experience and went through untold hardships to save the noble Miss Elena from the hands of the causal book, she will not be grateful."
"I understand~"
"Well."
Aisia looked even more embarrassed when she heard this. Having never been exposed to the Internet, she naturally didn't know how to respond, so she had to take out the sterling silver ring again.
All for One
"What?"
"As an apology, and also to ask for your specific details on recovering 488-13, the higher-ups have specially allowed you to possess another body in the outside world."
"The corresponding artificial humans are also ready."
"ah?"
Gu Moli's mouth twitched: "What do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be summoned and dismissed at will?"
"Elena made some desserts to express her apology..."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
“Bring it here!”
Gu Moli snatched the ring from Aisia's hand and put it on.
... ... ... ... ... .
... ... ... .
... ... Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle... ..
“Haaaaaah!”
The familiar feeling of weightlessness, the familiar glass chamber, Gu Moli suddenly opened his eyes, and the real world appeared in his eyes again. This time he adapted much faster. In front of him, researcher Elena was holding a uniform in her hands, standing there quite awkwardly.
"Hey, welcome out."
"What about dessert?"
"... It's over there. Put on your clothes first."
"snort!"
Gu Moli knew very well that he had helped the empire recover 488-13. From another perspective, he had even resolved an impending abnormal riot. If he didn't show some temper and ask for some benefits at this time, all his efforts would be in vain.
Without avoiding suspicion or caring about the gazes of people around him, Gu Moli quickly changed his clothes, then picked up the dessert cake beside him and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Savoring the fragrance that was different from that of sardine heads, Gu Moli almost cried.
"Have you finished eating? Can you tell me about your previous experience of recovering 488-13?"
"One more and I'll cooperate with you."
"... ..Once you finish, I'll make another one."
"make a deal."
Afterwards, Gu Moli cooperated well with Elena and helped her complete the corresponding records. During the process, he pretended to be casual and asked about the information of 488-13.
However, what surprised him was Elena's answer.
"488---13 has been placed in a safe place."
"You ask what its number means?"
"Well, the first number 4 means humanoid, the second number 8 means...causal manipulation, and the third number 8 means low harm."
“Why is it still low risk?”
"Hahaha, because as long as it's under control and no one writes on it, it's useless."
"Oh, by the way, wait a moment, I have to go get the dessert you asked for."
... ... ..
Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with this series of answers at first glance, Gu Moli still felt that after experiencing an emergency situation of "abnormal riot", Elena's attitude towards 488-13 still seemed a little... .
... .careless
Is it my own illusion
Although she was bleeding and even fainted because of 488-13, Elena did not seem to feel palpitations or fear. When the higher-ups still classified it as a low-risk item, Elena did not have any objection or resistance, and it was very natural.
This doesn't seem like a victim's reaction.
certainly.
Or maybe I'm just overthinking...
“Tsk.”
Just when Gu Moli was secretly laughing at himself, suddenly, Elena seemed to have thought of something and said, “Aren’t you thinking about meeting Aixia in the outside world?”
"This is also an opportunity. Do you want to meet her?"
"... .I'll go find her?"
"That's right."
Elena nodded: "After all, she is responsible for taking care of your body, so there is no way she can leave her post without permission, but you can meet her in the archives room."
"... Is this okay?"
Gu Moli narrowed his eyes: "If I understand correctly, you are planning to take me to the secret room where I am imprisoned?"
"Of course."
"It has been approved by the higher-ups."
"Besides..."
Elena grinned: "You can't get in again."
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Report of Experimental Personnel
As expected, the target indeed concealed the existence of his own abilities and what he wrote in the Book of Idient. Researcher Elena also concealed the truth about the Book of Idient. Next, the experimental group will follow what the target wrote.
Create a second "reasonable coincidence" to test the target's abnormal abilities.
At the same time, collect information for the second unknown capture operation.
Second experiment: 999---27---02
Officially begins.
