29 Questioned (1)
After discovering the screen, Sasha looked carefully at it to see just what was on this screen.
She couldn't see it clearly at first, but the more she looked at it, the clearer the picture became.
It was a scene of the dungeon and in front of her was…that terrifying person.
He just looked at her as he mouthed something, but she couldn't hear any sound coming from the screen.
She tried her best to read his lips, but she wasn't able to understand a single thing.
All she saw was that after he said something, the field of view would change and there would either be a pair of arms or some legs that appeared in this field of view..
With the way that these limbs appeared in the field of view, it was clear that they belonged to whoever this field of view belonged to.
Sasha didn't understand what was happening at first, but then she saw something that made her understand.
On the arm of the person this field of view belonged to…there was a tattoo that she recognized. That was because this was the tattoo that she had gotten when she had turned eighteen, the first tattoo that she had ever gotten.
She looked more carefully at the other limbs and found that the other tattoos on them were also ones that she recognized…
All of these were her tattoos!
That meant that the field of view that she was currently looking at was her own field of view.
However, she wasn't able to control a single thing about it.
It was like she was locked up from the outside world.
After taking a moment to think about it, she slowly began to realize what was happening…
She had been trapped in her own mind.
She didn't know how that Lin Fan had done it, but she was now trapped in her own mind and he was controlling her body like a puppet!
"Let me out!" She shouted at the screen when she realized what had happened, but there wasn't a single response.
When she saw that it was all useless, she started running around, looking for a way out of this place. However, no matter how she ran, nothing seemed to change. Even the screen above her was still the same as before, almost as if it was following her.
Slowly, she became exhausted from running and fell to the ground panting.
Once she caught her breath, the last string of tension cut and she broke out in tears as she cried, "Please let me out! I'll do whatever you want! Please let me out!"
But there was only silence that met these cries.
…
When we came out of the dungeon, as one had expected, we were immediately detained by the guards from the Awakener Association.
After all, Sasha's appearance made it clear that something had happened.
It was just a good thing that I was able to find a piece of cloth for her, or she would have had to come out with her ripped clothes.
As for where that piece of cloth came from, that was the biggest surprise.
When I had been going through Sasha's things, I found that she had a Storage Ring hidden.
This Storage Ring wasn't just a normal item, it was a super item that would make countless people drool over it. That was because it was the ultimate luggage item that one could have.
As the name suggested, it was a ring used for storage, but it wasn't just any normal form of storage.
It was spatial storage.
These were special rings that were brought back from the dungeons that had special extradimensional spaces in them. This allowed one to hold many things that would be hard to carry if they had to carry it themselves.
The Storage Ring that Sasha had had a storage of two square meters and was already filled with things that she had put in.
Since there was limited space, she didn't put that much stuff in and she didn't have a second outfit. Luckily, there was this cloth in there that should be a face washing cloth that I used to cover her lower half up.
Once we came out, the guards immediately came forward to ask if we were alright before asking us to follow them for questioning.
As we walked to the guard station, I could feel the gazes that were on me.
Even though we both looked ragged, Sasha's clothes had been ripped. One would think that I was the one that did this to her, which was why everyone looked at me with sharp gazes.
Even the guards peeked at me with sharp gazes from time to time.
But I just ignored all of them and followed the guards to the guard station.
Once we arrived, we were brought into separate questioning rooms.
It seemed that they were afraid that I was the perpetrator and Sasha was the victim, so they wanted to separate us to allow Sasha to confess freely.
This was made even more clear when the guards who came to question me came in with a bowl of katsudon.
This was a move that was seen quite a lot in Japanese detective dramas, but to see it in real life really was something else.
After the guard set the katsudon down, he said, "Let's not make this long. Just tell us what happened and we'll be sure to help you. If you confess now, I'll make sure you get a lighter sentence."
With a bitter smile, I said, "I think there's some kind of mistake here."
The guard slapped the table and said, "What kind of mistake could there be when there's a beautiful girl in that state?"
The bitter smile on my lips became wider. After a pause, I said, "Shouldn't you try to listen to what I have to say before coming up with these judgments?"
The guard realized what he was doing, so he gave a cough and said, "Right, let's hear what happened then."
