A secret room, imprisonment, a young girl, a cage…
Put these words together, and no matter how you look at it, it seems to lead to something that wouldn’t pass censorship.
But Kevin declared that currently, these words had absolutely nothing to do with those provocative, romantic scenes that stir the imagination!
After all, looking at the young girl in the large cage, who looked ferocious and seemed to want to swallow them both whole, it was impossible to connect her with those terrible events.
Kevin stood in front of the cage, nursing a severe headache.
He initially didn’t want to treat Kimiko this way, but if he hadn’t, Kimiko would have acted like a wild beast, attacking anyone she saw!
Starlight had a lot to say about this.
“Are you alright?” Kevin asked with concern, looking at Starlight, who was changing into new clothes beside him.
Starlight shook her head, extending her arm to look at it.
“Although her strength is great, she can’t break through my defenses…
It is just a pity about that previous outfit.” “That is why I said bathing should be postponed until she wakes up and we ask for her consent.
Now look, my bathroom is ruined…” Kevin couldn’t help but complain.
The reason lay in this.
After Starlight brought Kimiko back, she thought Kimiko was too dirty.
She didn’t know how long Kimiko had been wearing those clothes, and a strange smell emanated from her body.
For a girl like Starlight, this was completely unbearable.
Therefore, Starlight decided to take advantage of Kimiko still being unconscious to help her clean up and change into clean clothes.
Kevin used this opportunity to find someone to buy a large dog cage.
And it turned out to be very sturdy.
As a result, when Kevin finished buying the cage and returned to assemble it, he heard a rattling sound coming from the bathroom.
It turned out that Starlight and the awakened Kimiko had started fighting again.
It got to the point where, since Starlight was washing Kimiko’s body, Kimiko wasn’t wearing any clothes…
And during the fight, Kimiko tore Starlight’s clothes, which became quite a spectacle for Kevin…
‘Damn it, I can’t forget it!’ Anyway, after a brief struggle, Starlight subdued Kimiko on her own, and Kevin quickly assembled the simple cage and locked Kimiko inside.
In reality, in such a small cage, if Kimiko had used her strength, it wouldn’t have been difficult for her to escape.
But perhaps because she had been locked up for too long, or perhaps because Kimiko knew that Starlight and Kevin were not ordinary people, after being locked in the cage, she just glared fiercely at the two of them but didn’t do anything to break out.
Mentioning the bathroom, Starlight, not knowing what came over her, turned her head to look at Kevin, but immediately looked away, not mentioning that she had just been exposed, and asked.
“What do we do now?
She doesn’t seem to be able to speak…
and I don’t know what country she is from.” “Wait, I will find a translation app right now.” Kevin took his phone and searched for a translation app.
He, of course, knew what country Kimiko was from, but he still needed to put on an act for Starlight.
Therefore, after trying two or three languages, Kevin finally found a language that Kimiko understood.
“Hello, we mean you no harm (in Japanese).” The translation app on the phone produced this sentence.
Kimiko didn’t know if she understood it, but the harsh expression on her face softened.
“It seems she understood!” Starlight said in pleasant surprise.
Kevin also looked relieved and continued to use the translation app to communicate with Kimiko.
“We saved you, remember?” “…” Kimiko remained silent.
She suffered from selective mutism and couldn’t speak; she usually communicated with others using a sign language she created herself.
Asking her to speak now was truly difficult for her.
Kevin knew this too, so he took out a spare phone, downloaded a Japanese keyboard and a translation app onto it, and handed it to Kimiko.
“You can’t speak, right?
Can you write and use a phone?
Try using this to communicate with us?” Kevin held the phone out into the cage.
Kimiko looked at the phone warily, then glanced at Kevin and Starlight, who had kind expressions on their faces, and cautiously touched the phone with her hand.
As soon as her fingertips touched the phone, she retreated slightly, and then with incredible speed, grabbed the phone, shrank back, and pressed herself into the corner of the cage.
Kevin pulled his hand back, spreading his fingers to show he had done nothing.
Only then did Kimiko, half vigilant, half curious, unlock the phone and begin swiping her fingers across it.
About five minutes passed, and Kimiko placed the phone on the ground outside the cage.
Starlight quickly picked it up.
Seeing the dense text, she began using the translation app.
However, the program’s translation of the words significantly decreased in accuracy.
In many places, the word order was very strange, and she couldn’t understand the meaning of some words.
But she was able to extract some useful information from it.
For example, the girl’s name and the reason she came here.
According to the girl, her name is Kimiko.
Since childhood, she lived with her younger brother, and later, for some reason, she was kidnapped abroad to be forced to join some organization.
This organization didn’t seem to be very good.
Kimiko mentioned the word ‘escape,’ saying she wanted to escape with her brother, so she contacted smugglers to return to her country.
As a result…
she was brought here, injected with strange substances, and even separated from her brother.
Right now, Kimiko wants to find her brother; she is afraid that he also got into an accident.
After Starlight organized the information Kimiko conveyed, which took the two of them over half an hour, she, having understood the situation Kimiko was in, fell deep into thought while reviewing the organized data.
After a while, she asked Kevin an important question.
“A supe…
how did they kidnap her and bring her here?” Starlight is really very perceptive to have noticed this point.
True, unless they resorted to underhanded tricks, ordinary people, even fully armed, would be unlikely to defeat a supe like Kimiko, who possessed incredibly powerful self-healing abilities and physical fitness.
Judging by the group of people guarding Kimiko: even with weapons, once freed, Kimiko would probably just slaughter the group.
Where did they get the courage to attack a supe?
This question was probably what puzzled Starlight as well.
Starlight felt there was something suspicious here, but Kevin knew that before arriving, Kimiko wasn’t a supe.
It was Compound V that gave her superpowers.
But he couldn’t tell Starlight about this.
“…You are asking me, who should I ask?” Kevin pretended not to understand anything, interrupting Starlight’s words, and said, “Alright, it is late, you go to sleep, I am going to sleep too.” Kevin said this, yawning and heading toward the bedroom.
Because he had been busy with Kimiko’s affairs all night, it was almost dawn.
If he didn’t get enough sleep and rest now, it wouldn’t be easy to fall asleep later.
The issue with Kimiko could be discussed later.
As long as A-Train didn’t find her, and Kimiko didn’t run around everywhere, there generally shouldn’t be any problems.
By the way, before going to sleep, Kevin habitually clicked on the skill tree to check his skill points.
Saving Kimiko was apparently a significant plot twist, and Kevin’s skill points had increased by two.
At that moment, his total skill points stood at three.
