14 Strange Faces
More than an hour passed before Alto finally found a warehouse on the street where he could rest, and then carried the struggling Abbes inside.
Seeing that Abes, who was tied up on the opposite side, had been glaring at him with disgruntled eyes, Optokun sighed helplessly, and then sat down against the wall tiredly.
"It looks like this guy can't be quiet for a while. While she doesn't seem to be a threat to us at the moment, she can't let her guard down. Alto Kun yawned, "After all, she almost killed me before." β
"It wouldn't be nice if this person named Abbes suddenly reverted back to that high-danger index in the middle of the night. So, Sofitel, I think it's still necessary for us to take turns on the night shift to avoid being plotted by this guy during the break. By tomorrow morning, if we can't think of a suitable solution, we'll hand her over to the peacekeepers. β
"I see, master!" Sofitel nodded hurriedly and said, "Then let Sofitel be on the first shift!" Master, you look tired too, so let's rest first. β
"No, I'll be on the first shift. After all, I'm used to staying up late. Optoquin rejected Sofitel's offer.
On the one hand, he did have some problems that he wanted to consider before going to bed, and on the other hand, he was also a little uneasy about Sofitel's night shift, so he made this decision.
Seeing that Otopkun's attitude was very resolute, the obedient Sofitel no longer objected, and soon fell asleep leaning on her backpack.
Alto Kun sat in the corner, watching over Abess as he recalled what had happened that day.
If there was anything that made him doubt and worry the most about this day, it was undoubtedly the sudden change in Abeth's state.
In the first fight, she still looked silent, and her strength was extremely strong, almost forcing Otokun into a desperate situation, but she suddenly disappeared at the most critical moment of the battle.
But the second time she met Ou Tuokun, she changed to a standard villain, arrogant and talkative, and very confident in her own strength. But for some reason, this guy completely lost his previous strength after becoming a standard villain mode, and what is even more incredible is that he can't even detect the danger index.
Through the stark image of Abess and the scars left by himself before, Altokun was completely sure that he had met the same person on both occasions.
If that's the case, then Abbes must have changed somehow after she first disappeared, and then she became what she is now.
"But what caused her to change?" "It shouldn't be possible to simply lose her memory, because her attack ability is also gone. β
"If it's because she's supposed to be able to switch between the two states, it makes a lot of sense. Or maybe she's been controlled by something before, so she doesn't remember what happened in the past......"
A series of speculations followed, and although Altokun found some possible explanations, he could not find any evidence, and finally had to give up thinking.
When he was done thinking, he opened his eyes and looked across the wall, only to see that Abeth was looking at him with dark eyes.
The two looked at each other silently for a while, and Ou Tuokun suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he couldn't help but look away.
And Abbes, when she noticed the look in Optokun's eyes, made a muttering sound, as if she was struggling to say something.
Because of the constant noise of Abeth, who was tied in a corner, Otokun couldn't take it anymore, so he carefully walked to her side and took out the handkerchief that was in her mouth.
In the process of half-kneeling on the ground to remove the handkerchief for Abbess, because the two were so close to each other, Otokun could see almost every detail of Abbess's face.
Judging from the smooth skin and some immature lines on her face, the girl in front of her was only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and should be about the same age as herself. And that almost flawless white face seems to exist only in a fantasy world.
However, Otokun had no impression of this beautiful face, and he couldn't remember seeing similar characters in any comics or anime.
And the name of Abbes is also unheard of in his more than ten years of dead house life.
If the character in front of her is really from some fantasy world, then her origin must be a very unpopular work.
Trying to find out who Abbes was, Otokun unconsciously stayed in front of her for a long time, almost forgetting to take out the handkerchief.
And Abess noticed that Otto Kun had been looking at her intently, and she looked very nervous, and her face was slightly red.
Having finally gotten rid of the handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, she immediately gasped for a few breaths and then opened her mouth wide to say something.
Seeing Abbess's flushed face and dissatisfied expression, Otokun thought that she was going to make a big move or curse herself with vicious words, so he immediately distanced himself vigilantly.
But Abbes, who was leaning against the wall, only bit her lip, and then asked in a weak voice:
"Why didn't you kill me? What the hell do you want to do with me? β
"I didn't want to do anything to you. I'm just thinking about handing you over to the peacekeepers tomorrow. "After all, you're a dangerous being. β
"Then why have you been all the time, all the time...... Are you bastards trying to do something wrong with me? Because she had been stared at by Optokun for too long, Albeth still looked very uneasy.
"I just want to know who you are. Don't think crookedly. Seeing Abbess's embarrassed expression, Otokun also understood something, "You villains, you are just too self-indulgent. β
"Hmph, am I being amorous? It's clear that you made such an offensive move. β
"You're the one who offends people, right? When we first met, you did something quite rude. β
Remembering the scene when he had said a shameful line in front of Abbess and then been thrown away, Otokun suddenly felt annoyed.
"I was clearly so friendly with my arms outstretched, and I was just talking about it, and as soon as I got into the mood, you hit me with a fire hydrantβ"
"Fire hydrants? What's going on? Hearing Altokun's complaints, Abeth looked a little puzzled, "And when have you ever opened your arms?" β
"Looks like you don't remember at all." Seeing Abbess's puzzled expression, Otokun was finally convinced of this, "We have obviously fought each other before, and this wound of mine is also due to you. As he spoke, he raised his left arm wrapped in toilet paper and shook it, "And you almost killed me at that time, and then suddenly disappeared after fighting." β
"Really? That's a shame I couldn't kill you. Hearing Altokun's description, Abbes immediately showed a somewhat smug expression, "If I hadn't suddenly lost my strength later, hmph, you'd have already died by nowβ"
"So you know what the hell is going on?" Ottokun didn't want to listen to Abbes boast about her strength anymore, and hurriedly interrupted her, "Why did you forget what happened before and the whole person changed state?" And judging from what you said before, it seems that you still have some status, like 'Abyss Lord', 'Queen of the Night' and other criminal titles......"
"Hmph, I don't need to explain this kind of thing to an unknown person like you." Faced with Otokun's question, Abbes immediately changed her expression to contempt, "How can I, Abbess, have a despicable villain like you be qualified to listen to the great past?" β
"Really?" Ottokun raised an eyebrow, "Then it looks like I'm going to have to use some special means to get you to speak." It just so happens that the training is not over yet. β
So saying, he stretched out his right hand to the handle of the whip at Abeth's feet.
"You, you shameless one," seeing that Otokun was about to experience inexplicable pain again, Abes immediately panicked, but still tried to put on a fearless expression, "I warn you, hmph, if you dare to offend me again, when I regain my strength, when I regain the power of the abyss, I must, must-"
"I, Abbess, must take youβ"
Seeing that Otokun was about to shake the handle of the whip again, Abbess's voice was distorted, and there was a look of horror in her eyes.
"Alas, what a hard mouth." Otto Kun shook his head, and suddenly threw the handle of the whip to the ground.
Seeing that Abbess's state was already very weak, and he was worried about waking up Sofitel who was resting, he finally gave up his plan to train this female villain.
"You know, I'm only letting you go this time for a while."
Because he was very concerned about the damage that Abess had caused to him before, Otokun also had an uncompromising attitude when he spoke.
"Tomorrow morning, if you don't show a little bit of interest, I won't be so lenient with you anymore."
"Hmph, how could I, Abes, need the forbearance of a villain like you." Seeing that Otokun was back at the wall, Abeth reverted to her contemptuous tone, and then tilted her head to the side, no longer looking at him.
