Chapter 80: Imprisoned Life
Just like that, Lonis was roughly thrown back into her prison cell.
Bound by such terrifying restraints, let alone escaping, even kneeling up to walk had become a very painful ordeal for the girl.
However, Lonis did not cry out in pain like a banshee.
Because the pressure from the pain, as well as Elus’s behavior, had instead made Lonis completely calm down.
As a hero who had once saved the world, Lonis still had some capabilities… which manifested as being less troubled and dejected when the situation became incredibly difficult.
It was a bit like giving up completely?
Or like shouting “I can’t do anything” when facing an unbeatable boss?
And right now, Lonis felt that way.
Her body was already in great pain, but beyond the pain, her mind was racing, contemplating the current situation.
…
Although the black-haired girl from earlier was almost exactly like Elus, Lonis had keenly noticed the differences.
For example, Elus would unconsciously put her hands on her hips after finishing something, but this black-haired girl’s posture was much more orderly.
Normally, Elus’s walking posture was a bit arrogant; even when she was a loli, there was a queenly aura in her every move.
But just now, the girl appeared more reserved, completely unlike her usual self.
So…
Was that really not Elus?
But a mechanical puppet exactly like Elus?
…
Realizing this, Lonis felt a little relieved. It would be great if she could scan Elus with the Crystal Staff, but there seemed to be some unique monitoring mechanism in the room.
As soon as she used a weapon, it would be detected.
Therefore, no matter what she wanted to do, she would have to break through this monitoring mechanism first, otherwise, she would have no chance of winning.
Then…
“Monitoring mechanism, is it a camera?”
…
…
Lonis looked at the camera and pondered for a long time.
But in her current state, she had no way to break it. Because she couldn’t even extend her fingers now; otherwise, trying to tear off some scraps of clothing to stick over the camera would be a solution.
So what should she do?
Just as Lonis was puzzled, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door again.
However, the person passing by this time was not Elus, but a mechanical man who seemed to be a jailer—his gait was very stiff, limping, and he finally passed a plate into the room for Lonis.
And upon seeing the contents of the plate, Lonis was stunned.
Because the entire plate was sticky and white, like a botched egg white soup!
“Prisoner, mealtime, one quarter of an hour.”
“What?”
…
Without giving Lonis any explanation, the jailer left directly.
Staring at this plate of white egg white soup, Lonis was dumbfounded.
Because there were no utensils, how was she supposed to eat it?
Lying on the ground, like a puppy, licking it bit by bit with her tongue?!
Such behavior…
Forcing down the shame in her heart, Lonis crawled over trembling, because the girl knew… she needed strength to attempt an escape, and a quarter of an hour was already very tight, not enough time for her to finish so much food!
Therefore, Lonis quickly stuck out her tongue and ate like an animal.
But Lonis had not expected…
This food was so unpalatable!
Not only was it not warm at all, but it also had an indescribable fishy smell, like the smell of a seafood market.
Because she had to bring her face close to eat it, her face soon became smeared with a lot of white egg mixture, sticky and gooey, but she couldn’t get it off.
Because eating required the support of both hands and legs, Lonis soon felt her limbs aching.
But she had no choice; she had to finish the egg white soup.
…
This action was more like torture than enjoyment, let alone the fact that Lonis was currently wearing a metal shirt. Thus, her body would tremble slightly, and a sense of confinement would spread throughout her.
But Lonis endured it.
Because she knew that if she cried out in pain or rested, she might not have time to finish.
Because she knew that only she could save Elus, only she was Elus’s lover.
So…
The silver-haired girl ate very seriously, not caring that the sweat stains on her body were increasing and the dirt on her face was also increasing.
Finally, the egg white soup was almost gone, but at the end of the food, the girl found something strange.
…
(What is this?)
It was only 1 cubic centimeter in size, very much like a building block, but Lonis, without thinking, put this thing into her mouth.
No matter what it was, she couldn’t let it go!
The jailer would come to collect the plate soon, and she couldn’t be exposed.
…
A moment later, Lonis turned her back to the camera and lifted her buttocks high up.
This posture was like a seductive prostitute beckoning a man.
But Lonis had no choice because she had to use her body to block the camera’s view… At the same time, the girl opened her mouth,
and spat out the small, saliva-covered object.
Now that there was plenty of time, Lonis could finally see what it was.
It had a precise structure and a sturdy outer shell, very much like part of some kind of prop… but it was not yet fully assembled, and she didn’t know what it was for.
In this case, was someone using the food to deliver an escape prop to me?
Was it senior Isumi, Lian Lan, or…
(Elus…)
Thinking of that name, the girl’s mood became somewhat uneasy.
But soon, Lonis calmed down again.
She knew that now was not the time for sweet talks; she had to be calm and objective, and the matter at hand was to hide this thing.
Putting it in her mouth was definitely not good, because she needed to eat and might have to speak, and if she accidentally swallowed it into her stomach, it would be really hilarious.
So, the only place to hide the thing was…
Lonis lowered her head and looked at her scar.
At dinner, the food delivered by the jailer was again egg white soup.
It was still unpalatable, and the time given was still short, only a quarter of an hour.
However, Lonis was gratified that this time, under the egg white soup, she still found a small part.
It looked the same as the previous one, and seemed to be able to fit together.
However, what bothered Lonis was…
This thing was not spherical; it was cubic.
If it was just one, it was fine, but hiding so many on her body was a bit too much.
Every time her chest shook, she felt a rattling sensation.
But…
It seemed there was no other way.
The girl took a deep breath and hid the part as well.
