Cheng Shi slipped away.
It is hard to imagine that with the office roof destroyed, the laboratory director dead, and a huge explosion in the laboratory, there was not even a guard to be seen at the door or in the corridor in such a large laboratory.
Not only that, no martial law procedures were implemented inside or outside the laboratory, and not even the alarm was sounded.
You know, for Montrani, this is a blasphemous place that "takes advantage of [Order]". With such a big secret hidden, the guarding force here is frighteningly small.
If Cheng Shi had not just experienced everything and only looked at the surroundings at this moment, he would have thought that this place had been abandoned.
He walked carefully for a long time, sweating profusely from nervousness, but nothing unexpected happened. Even the other Serius who had appeared in the experimental field disappeared.
Cheng Shi really wanted to turn left to see what was in the other experimental workshop, but reason told him that it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
This is so weird.
It's weird and a bit abstract.
But no matter how strange this place is, it has nothing to do with Cheng Shi, because the door of the laboratory is right in front of him and he can leave here and escape immediately.
This door is more like the door of an underground warehouse than the door of a secret laboratory. Standing at the door is the only guard Cheng Shi has met along the way, and she is a female guard.
She did not wear a leather hood and a black coat like Nisk or Figol here, but a helmet covering her face. Her long purple hair was scattered messily, which set off the dazzling armor on her chest, making her look both serious and charming.
This is obviously a knight, a female knight.
She had already noticed Cheng Shi approaching stealthily, but she had not taken any action until Cheng Shi tentatively called out, "Melina...My Lady?" Then she turned to look at Cheng Shi and nodded solemnly.
"It's me."
"Hello, I'm the Punishment Knight Grind. There's a... uh, a little adult who asked me to come find you. She... asked you to take me out." After saying that, Cheng Shi touched his nose.
"Your name is Grinde?" The female knight looked at Cheng Shi with a surprised tone.
Cheng Shi put on a smile and nodded, but his heart skipped a beat.
This female knight seemed to know Grindel? Was she also a Knight of Iron Law?
But it doesn’t matter, it’s normal to have the same name.
"How did the Punishment Knight get here? Who sent you here?" As she spoke, Melina raised her lance and placed it on Cheng Shi's shoulder.
However, Cheng Shi was not panicked at all, because he knew that if the female knight opposite wanted to kill him, she would have done it when she discovered him just now, instead of waiting until now.
So with regard to the current interrogation, Cheng Shi was more inclined to believe that she was waiting for him to respond with a suitable excuse, or even an excuse that would help him leave here.
Quite interesting.
The little girl in the lab was obviously a powerful woman with a high status. She and this fierce-looking female knight both acquiesced to my leaving. Does that mean that they...
Did you know that Serius was going to leave, and that he was going to leave by this soul hitchhiking method?
The logic seems correct.
They knew about Serius' plan, agreed with his actions, and believed that Serius had already possessed them, so they had no "doubt" about themselves appearing in the laboratory inexplicably.
Because this is not about not "suspicion", but about helping Serius "escape from prison"!
They were even helping Serius leave!
Thinking about the attitude of the little girl when she pushed the door open just now, well, it’s reasonable, very reasonable.
Since it's not difficult, just make it up.
"The explosion at the arena blew me into the ruins. When I woke up, I found that the prison had been hollowed out. I guessed that it must be a passage dug by someone trying to escape from the prison. So my strong sense of knightly responsibility drove me to chase after him, and then I fell into this place through the passage."
Cheng Shi rubbed his nose sincerely until it turned red. Melina looked at him for a long time with a strange look in her eyes and said "hmm".
"It's a good excuse. It might be better if you weren't so nervous. Your nose is almost red from touching it. What? You've never lied before?"
Yes, yes, yes, I never lie to anyone, so how could I lie?
But Cheng Shi still made a slight excuse.
"I'm allergic to the air here..."
"Yes, the new lie has filled the gap in your lie. Come with me. I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know, but I know you are definitely not Grindel.
Since that gentleman asked me to take you away, I will fulfill my duty as a guard and let you go.
I won't go into what happened here, but remember, after you leave here, go to the Chengnan Market in Montrani to buy a ticket, stay away from Gaoshan County, and never come back."
As she spoke, Melina used her lance to pry open Cheng Shi's armor.
"?"
Cheng Shi was unable to react in time and was stripped naked.
Don't get me wrong, the armor was stripped off completely, and he was wearing a red prison uniform underneath, so now everything was exposed.
He looked at the female knight in front of him with embarrassment, trying to come up with another excuse to deal with it, but he didn't expect Melina to not even pretend.
"G...Grinde, from now on, you are the newly hired servant of the Supreme Inquisitor, Lord Kernlauer. Today, you followed Lord Garusa to ask Mr. Serius for advice, and you were accidentally infected with a disease in the laboratory. So in the next few days, you will take leave to go home and recuperate..."
