Oh?"
...
Meanwhile, outside the Chinese restaurant, in a dilapidated van not far away.
An Asian woman was gnawing on a hamburger with some resentment.
"Hmph, you guys who conceal the truth are feasting, while I, who expose the truth for the public, can only gnaw on a cold hamburger here. Don't let me catch you!"
After a pause, she added, "I am a professional. In the city, like a ghost, I will stare at you relentlessly, searching for everything about you, exposing everything you hide."
As she spoke, she even put on a rather chuunibyou expression.
However, immediately after, the sound of a pulley turning on a door rang out, the car door was pulled open, and light was exposed.
She stiffly turned her head, only to see three seemingly ordinary people appear before her.
Looking at the three, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mainly because they were a bit different from the people she was familiar with; they weren't the standard black suits and sunglasses, not the kind of people she knew.
"What do you want?" Her confidence returned as she spoke.
None of the three in front of her said anything; instead, under her gaze, they pulled out a gun and aimed it at her!
Her face had just changed when, immediately after, she heard a soft 'thump', and a stinging sensation came from her shoulder.
She instinctively looked down.
Then, she saw a small object on her shoulder.
Just as she was about to say something, her vision suddenly went black, and her body uncontrollably slumped in the car.
"Take her!"
The female among the three immediately stepped forward, picked her up, placed her in their car which was right beside them, and drove away.
The remaining two got into her car and also drove away.
Fifteen minutes later!
In a dimly lit Underground Room, a group of four reappeared.
However, her condition was not particularly good; she had already been placed on a chair, with her hands and feet tied up.
Combined with the dim Underground Room, it really was quite interesting.
Ted looked at all of this, placed his fingers near his Sun temple, and contacted Lu Chen.
"Boss, the person has been caught. Yes, there were no problems or accidents. What should we do next?"
"Hmm? These things? We didn't really prepare much for this!"
"It's enough? Then what should we do? No need to do more! Just place it in front of her, then close the door, and leave it alone?"
Scare her?
A thought immediately rose in Ted's mind.
After roughly understanding Lu Chen's thoughts, Ted ended the communication.
As Lu Chen requested, he moved a table, placed it about one and a half meters in front of her, opened one of their briefcases on it, and then placed some of its contents on the table.
Finally, they all walked out!
Chapter 55: Isn't That Obvious?
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Amidst her hazy consciousness, Skye gave herself a triple question.
After a while, Skye finally recalled that she seemed to have been attacked by three bastards!
My head hurts!
It hurts so much!
Where am I?
After many attempts, Skye, relying on the tenacious willpower gained from years of late-night grinding, finally managed to open her eyes with difficulty and looked around in a daze.
After blinking her stiff eyes for a while to let herself adapt as much as possible, Skye's consciousness finally cleared a little, and the things in front of her gradually became clear.
She saw a dark room, which looked like an Underground Room.
She was in such an Underground Room!
Skye subconsciously tried to move her stiff, numb body!
Not an inch!
Skye then noticed that her arms and legs were tied up, firmly securing her to a chair.
A particular phrase unconsciously appeared in Skye's mind.
However, Skye quickly shook that phrase out of her mind again, because Skye saw a table in front of her and the things on it.
Those were not the things that should be there under that phrase.
Saws, pliers, hammers, awls…
Every time Skye saw an item, she felt her blood run a little colder. After looking at all the items in front of her, Skye felt her blood was almost completely chilled, and her heart had almost stopped beating.
If these things were placed somewhere else, even in a brightly lit room, Skye wouldn't have been so scared.
Skye could convince herself that these were all kitchen utensils: the saw was for cutting ribs, the pliers were for adjusting things, the hammer was for smashing walnuts and other dried fruits, the awl was for… was for…
Who cares what it's for, it's just kitchen utensils anyway.
However, in this atmosphere, this environment, this situation, if you said they were kitchen utensils, no one would believe it!
Including herself!
All the color drained from Skye's face, turning very pale.
