“We…” Zhang Xiaotao sat up, and she immediately recalled what had happened before.
“We’ve been arrested and locked up here.” Xiao Qing bit her lip, her left hand gripping her right. “I’ve checked. The walls here are very thick; I can’t find any gaps.”
"And... what about Mr. Shi Gaofei?"
"Don't mention that bastard!" Bai Cai suddenly snapped. "He wasn't locked up with us, don't you understand? Shi Gaofei is one of their men!"
Xiao Qing's palms hurt a lot. After she woke up, she found that her weapons had been taken away, and even the soft sword she wore on her belt was gone. She tried to slap the wall with both hands for a long time, but almost broke her palms, and there was no response.
"Then... what about Ya Ya? Ya Ya, you should have a way to break this wall, right?" Zhang Xiaotao suddenly remembered Ya Ya's special qualities.
Ya Ya stared wide-eyed, looking somewhat dejected, and shook her head.
“We’ve already tried.” Young Master Xu held Bai Cai’s hand, looking somewhat helpless. “The walls here are made of insulating material. Ya Ya can’t discharge electricity here. Otherwise, the current won’t spread and we’ll get shocked instead.”
The Takeuchi sisters were still banging and tapping around the four walls, but Tang Ying soon gave up. She sat down on the ground and looked around, saying, "The walls here are very thick."
Xiao Qing closed her eyes and thought for a moment: "No matter what, we have to find a way to get out."
Just then, a strange sound came from one of the walls of the room. The sound startled several young men and women. The Takeuchi sisters and Xiao Qing reacted the fastest and the three of them rushed over immediately!
A wall silently parted, revealing a person standing outside.
A middle-aged woman, her face cold and expressionless, wearing a tight-fitting uniform of unknown style, coldly looked at the young men and women in front of her. She held an iron box in her hand and placed it on the ground in front of her: "This is your food. Each of you will receive a test tube, which is enough to provide the nutrition you need. As for any other needs, you can call me at any time. There's no need to knock on the wall. Even an A-level ability user cannot break through the walls here. When you need anything, just call me. My name is... Waiter."
Chapter 296 [Not Omnipotent]
Xiao Qing and Takeuchi Yako exchanged a glance. Both were experienced fighters, and in an instant, they made a snap decision, lunging at each other from the left and right! Takeuchi Yako used the fighting techniques of the Shangchen family. Although she no longer had a sword, she launched a swift and powerful kick at the waiter's knee! Xiao Qing used the Xiao family's grappling techniques to grab the waiter's right arm joint, her fingers like claws and her fingertips like hooks!
However, such efforts soon proved to be futile.
The waiter only took half a step back, glanced at the two girls silently, and then saw an invisible force in front of him bounce the two girls back!
Takeuchi Yako fell into Tang Ying's arms and cursed "Baka!" while Xiao Qing staggered back to the corner of the wall, staring intently at the woman who called herself "waiter".
Bai Cai, who was originally sitting with Xu Ershao, suddenly moved closer to Xu Ershao's back when she saw this scene. Then, she disappeared from the spot.
"You don't need to rush, you won't be staying here for long." The waiter's indifferent gaze swept across the room: "Don't try this again, I am an A-level ability user."
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed to the left. A painful groan immediately filled the air. The cabbage, who had been hiding, tried to take the opportunity to get closer, but the waiter grabbed her by the neck. His fingertips dug deep into the skin of her neck. The cabbage rolled her eyes and struggled desperately, grabbing and pushing the waiter with her arms. The waiter didn't even look at her before throwing her to the ground. The cabbage cried out in pain and clutched her neck, gasping for breath.
"This is the last warning. If there's a next time, I won't be so lenient."
After the waiter finished speaking, the wall automatically healed and returned to its seamless state.
Xiao Qing stood in the corner, catching her breath for a moment: "We...we have to find a way out."
Bai Cai struggled to her feet, and Xu Ershao rushed over to pick her up. Bai Cai leaned against Xu Ershao's chest, took a few breaths, touched her neck, and suddenly stuck out her tongue: "Look what this is!"
As she spoke, she opened one hand, revealing a metal object no bigger than a button in her palm.
"Don't forget, I'm not exactly a good girl." Bai Cai gave a strange smile.
Xiao Qing's expression shifted, revealing a hint of joy, but she immediately frowned and asked, "What is this thing?"
Bai Cai said, "I don't know either, but I saw her putting it in her pocket, so maybe it will be useful."
This thing, about the size of a button, felt heavy in my hand. I looked at it over and over, but I couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be some kind of woman's accessory, like a necklace or pendant?" Xiao Qing asked.
"No." It was Xu Ershao who answered the question, smiling, "I've done some research on women's jewelry, and this thing looks completely unattractive. I doubt many women would use something like this as a pendant, and besides..."
"Hmph!" Bai Cai snorted and glared at Xu Ershao. Xu Ershao immediately raised his hands and smiled obsequiously, "Don't be angry. From now on, I will only choose jewelry for you. I won't even glance at other women. Is that alright?"
"But what exactly is this?" Bai Cai subconsciously pinched the thing, but when her fingers touched it, she suddenly felt that one end of the button was slightly concave. She pressed it casually, and sure enough, it was different!
Silently, several tiny thorns suddenly emerged from the button and quickly pierced into Bai Cai's fingers. Bai Cai cried out "Ah!" It wasn't pain; the tiny thorns piercing her fingers felt like mosquito bites, but rather a slightly numb and itchy sensation. Bai Cai instinctively rolled over and shook her wrist, trying to shake the thing off, but after a couple of shakes, the button remained firmly stuck to her fingers and she couldn't get it off.
Then, as she frowned, the gazes of Xu Ershao, Xiao Qing, and the others beside her suddenly turned strange!
"Why are you all staring at me like that?" Bai Cai was bewildered, then raised her hand and screamed, "Ah ...
The screams were so loud that no one knew how many decibels they were, and everyone stared at the cabbage in horror!
On Bai Cai's hands, where the tiny thorns from the buttons had pricked her fingers, her skin had turned a completely mercury-like color, a color imbued with a metallic sheen! And that metallic sheen spread rapidly upwards! Soon it had crossed her wrists and arms!
Amidst Bai Cai's screams, the mercury spread to her neck, and then to her face! In just a few seconds, Bai Cai looked as if she were covered in mercury!
With a few hissing sounds, her outer garments were instantly torn and tattered, as if her mercury-like skin possessed an extremely corrosive quality! Suddenly, it appeared that Bai Cai was standing naked before them! Every curve of her skin was fully exposed! However, she resembled a silver metal statue!
Bai Cai's scream was initially one of terror, but it quickly turned into panic as her clothes came off! She immediately turned around, then quickly hugged her arms and curled up, yelling, "Second Young Master Xu, turn your face away!!"
Young Master Xu was also stunned. It wasn't that he was lustful about Bai Cai's naked body, but he was simply terrified by the scene. His first reaction was to rush over and hug Bai Cai tightly: "You! How are you?!"
But as soon as he hugged her, Young Master Xu cried out, shivered, and backed away, his hands trembling: "So cold! You're so cold! My hands are almost frozen!!"
Bai Cai retreated to the corner, and amidst screams, several girls surrounded her. Bai Cai kept yelling, jumping and hopping, when suddenly Ya Ya pointed at Bai Cai from behind: "Ah! You you you you..."
Xiao Qing and the Takeuchi sisters were also stunned. Zhang Xiaotao bit her lip hard: "Cabbage, your body!"
"I..." Bai Cai turned around and froze!
It turned out that as she kept retreating, she had already backed up to the wall! Taking another step back, half her body was embedded in the wall!! It was as if, at that moment, the thick wall was simply air! The cabbage's body had easily passed through the wall!!
"Through...through the wall?!" Bai Cai was stunned. She subconsciously reached into the wall and sure enough, her arm went in almost without any resistance! It felt as if what was in front of her was not a wall, but a mass of liquid! After reaching into the wall, her skin felt cool and soft, just like being soaked in water!
The girls immediately stopped screaming, and Bai Cai had already slipped into the wall.
