#528 - Chapter 526: Coated Prisoner Uniform
“Brother Xiao, how many clones do you actually have? How come they're everywhere?”
The next day, Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin arrived at the interrogation room next to Campus A and saw Xiao Fifteen's clone at the entrance.
The real Xiao Fifteen in the video call on the clone's hand said:
“How would I know? I usually use shared documents for everything. Who has the time to count them all? Oh, right, if you're going to find the Dwarf Society this time, do you want to bring that little guy with the good nose?”
The last time Qi Jing went to Sand City, he had planned to have Gou Yigou go with him, but it didn't happen.
It wouldn't be bad to bring him along this time either. Mo Wang had asked him to take care of his god-grandson a long time ago, so he might as well take this opportunity to let him take a risk with the Dwarf Society.
Hearing Xiao Fifteen's words, Qi Jing nodded:
“It's possible, but wouldn't it be a bit dangerous?”
“What's there to be afraid of? You're not afraid, is he going to die?”
“Alright then.”
Qi Jing agreed to the matter.
Anyway, with his Qiankun Sleeves, it would be quite difficult for his teammates to die.
Passing through layers of gates, Qi Jing, led by Xiao Fifteen's clone, arrived at the place where Perosna was being held.
This was an almost pure white room with a large recliner inside.
He saw her tied up—no, encased in a super-fitting transparent shell, staring blankly at the ceiling.
“What is this? Is it plated with some kind of film?”
Qi Jing saw the circuits hidden beneath the film and the cordless battery behind her waist, and could only determine that this was a smart suit.
Xiao Fifteen explained:
“More or less. You can think of it as a kind of high-tech uniform prison garment that prevents her from moving and using her abilities to cause trouble.”
This was a new type of imprisonment device developed earlier—a film-plated prison garment that bound a person tightly, preventing her limbs from moving freely, but allowing her to be controlled by a computer to do some stretching exercises.
It was like a layer of transparent film with a bit of hardness, some intelligent digital components, some source power shielding material, and tightened a bit more.
It forced her to do the Eight Brocades exercises every day.
Cruel, yet with a touch of humanity.
Hearing their voices, Perosna rolled her eyes and saw Qi Jing, the culprit who had captured her, and became excited for a moment:
“Ooo woo buzz mimi ya!”
Due to the limitations of this film-plated prison garment, she couldn't open her mouth to speak, and could only make random noises with her mouth closed.
But one didn't need to guess to know that she was cursing Qi Jing, and quite fiercely.
“She looks a little uncomfortable.”
Qi Jing pointed at her while peering inside through the window.
Hearing her thoughts, Tan Zuoyin said with a smile:
“She wouldn't be so uncomfortable if you weren't here.”
“Uh, never mind her, let's get down to business. I recently got a pair of glasses that can block active abilities. As long as we put them on her, we won't have to worry about her escaping. Brother Xiao, get her out of there for me.”
He couldn't wait to chop up a few dwarves to feel good.
Xiao Fifteen shook his head:
“This isn't my place. You have to find the warden.”
“You're already a Level 5 Esper. Do you still need to care about whose place it is?”
“Even a Level 5 Esper can't do whatever they want, okay? Not even the president can.”
Qi Jing stopped peering at Perosna's eyeball dance on the glass and turned his head:
“Alright, where's the warden?”
“Here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep male voice came from behind him:
“Qi Jing, right? You're the one who caught this foreign chick. Hmm, you can take her away now.”
The stern-faced, square-faced uncle pressed the palm print button at the door, and the glass outside the room where Perosna was being held began to slowly lower.
Seeing this scene, Perosna used all her strength to try to break through the film's blockade on her body and beat this damned brat to death.
But she couldn't even flex a muscle.
And her abilities were somehow unusable, and her source power was constantly draining, only maintaining enough to prevent drowsiness.
What cruel imprisonment methods!
Even our Dwarf Society wouldn't imprison like this! It's better to just kill them or brainwash them!
“I'll try first to see if she can use the compass through the coating.”
Qi Jing walked to the immobile Perosna and took out Captain Jack's compass.
It was now pointing at himself, or rather, at the phone in his pocket, or more accurately, at the novel in the phone.
Well, he wanted to read the novel at the bottom of his heart, no problem.
He put the compass in Perosna's immobile palm.
If it could rotate, it meant it could be used even through the film-plated prison garment. If not, some of the film would have to be shaved off.
Qi Jing stared at the compass for a while, and sure enough, it didn't turn.
“Looks like I have to free her hand.”
Generally speaking, if such a close-fitting, one-piece prop is broken even a little, the whole thing will become ineffective.
But Tan Zuoyin, who was observing closely, noticed that the compass needle moved slightly the moment Qi Jing turned around, so she said:
“Take two steps to the right.”
“Take two steps? What for?”
“Look at the compass in her hand, it moved! It's pointing at you!”
After Qi Jing took two steps, Tan Zuoyin saw the clue.
Xiao Fifteen said with a smile:
“Is this the legendary conquered personality? Is she already in love with you? Little Qi, you have to seize the opportunity!”
“Brother Xiao, I'm still here.”
Tan Zuoyin gave Xiao Fifteen in the video a cold look.
But Xiao Fifteen laughed heartily and said:
“It's okay, I'm not there.”
“I think she wants to kill Qi Jing. At this moment, her desire for revenge is stronger than her desire to go home.”
Tan Zuoyin glared at Xiao Fifteen, stopped looking at the person who was corrupting her boyfriend, and continued:
“It's just because Qi Jing slashed her too many times when he caught her, and she was forced to elementalize for two months, suffering all kinds of torture, that she hates Fang Sheng so much.”
“Then what should we do now?”
Qi Jing scratched the back of his head.
If she doesn't want to go home, they can't force her to want to.
Xiao Fifteen raised his eyebrows:
“Easy, just let him slash you twice, and it'll be fine, won't it?”
“Two slashes won't do, it'll probably take hundreds of slashes.”
Qi Jing slashed her thousands of times back then. If she slashed back, wouldn't he be chopped into mincemeat?
Qi Jing took back the compass and walked to the side where Perosna couldn't see him and said:
“Let's let her calm down. She'll be fine after not seeing me for a while.”
“Okay, we'll just wait for Yigou. I've already notified him to come over.”
After Xiao Fifteen finished speaking, the group fell into silence, with only Perosna's anxious and low voice echoing in the space.
In this situation, the best way is for someone to take out their phone, so others can accuse him of taking out his phone or take out their phones together.
Of course, the great hero, Qi Jing, should do this important thing.
He picked up his phone in a casual manner, opened the novel, and prepared to continue following the updates, but he was a little absent-minded.
Why is this square-faced warden staring at me and smiling all the time? This is an interrogation room. Could this warden be a pervert?
It's all Perosna's fault. She's so petty. She still holds a grudge against me after so long.
He had never wanted to escape a place so much.
The warden's gaze was too aggressive! It was like he wanted to tear his bones apart and lick them clean! He had goosebumps all over his body!
Yigou, hurry up~
