Cindy: "When we found Reynolds, he acted a little dazed. Later, when we asked him, we found that part of his memory seemed to be fuzzy. Lord Ferro guessed that it might be because the unique field of the foggy belt affected him. His soul body, or maybe his soul body was traumatized, or he took the initiative to close his memory. We don’t know the specific situation yet.”
After Angel was silent for a few seconds, he nodded: "Go on, tell me everything you met Reynolds, what happened after that, and what Reynolds told you."
Cindy nodded and spoke loudly under the gaze of everyone.
They met Reynolds in a rocky reef area deep in the fog zone. Reynolds acted like a rootless sea ghost, wandering aimlessly near the reef.
Although this kind of ghost is not common in the Devil's Sea, you can occasionally encounter it, and most of them are the deceased in shipwrecks.
They had no intention of contacting Reynolds until they discovered the tattoo on Reynolds' face, and Ferro brought the wandering Reynolds back.
At first, Reynolds was confused and wary of them. It wasn't until Cindy discovered his real name and Ferro revealed their general goal that Reynolds was awakened from his self-absorption.
During the inquiry, they learned that Reynolds escaped from a laboratory where the people in the laboratory had digital tattoos on their faces.
This laboratory is mainly based on biological experiments. There are limbs and organs everywhere in the laboratory, and there are also a large number of prisons where various creatures are imprisoned.
"Because something happened, Reynolds resisted the authority of the laboratory, and he couldn't remember the final result. Anyway, he appeared in the foggy sea as a soul." Cindy: "This is the general situation. "
After listening to Cindy's story, everyone had a lot of doubts in their minds. Nice was the first to speak: "What is the name of that laboratory? Who is their person in charge?"
Cindy shook her head: "Reynolds doesn't remember either, but according to him, his inability to remember is not because of the damage to his memory this time, but because the name of the laboratory itself is very weird. Even when his memory is intact, I will always forget.”
Cindy's words made Angel, Nice and Granny Tiejia think of a word at the same time: soul text.
Just like the writing on the stone slab in Nice, even if you read it, your memory will be blurred in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, this laboratory is related to the mastermind behind the Catacomb Altar, and the Catacomb Altar is related to certain forces in the world of Quest. Therefore, it is possible to use words from the Quest world as the name of the laboratory.
Cindy continued: "As for the person in charge of the laboratory, Reynolds doesn't remember the specific name, but he knows that everyone calls each other by a number, which is the number tattoo on their face."
At this point, Cindy seemed to have thought of something, and added: "By the way, Reynolds himself is the same. He also has his own number. In the laboratory, others also call him by this number, his real name." It's actually a number. As for the name 'Reynolds', he actually chose it himself later."
Angel: "Reynolds can't remember anything about the internal situation of this laboratory, including their research?"
Cindy: "Due to his memory impairment, Reynolds often speaks without matching his words, and some terms clearly come from his mouth, but he himself doesn't know what they mean. His impression of the laboratory , there is only fear, fear, the ubiquitous smell of blood, incandescent and dazzling lights, evil men in cloaks and uniforms, the howling of souls...all kinds of mutilated limbs, crazy rituals, and a lot of equipment with weird names."
Reynolds could occasionally name a few of these devices, but he couldn't remember what they looked like.
"His memory is a little confusing, and it's difficult to get detailed information from Reynolds. Basically, Lord Ferro is just making guesses."
Nice: "What about Reynolds himself? Isn't he also a member of the laboratory? Even if his memory is partially obscured, he still knows some general impressions of the experiment, right?"
Cindy shook her head: "Master Ferro also asked similar questions, but every time he mentioned the experiment itself, Reynolds showed great resistance and fear. At the same time, he repeatedly mentioned the dazzling white light and the ubiquitous smell of blood. , and those terrifying and ferocious faces.”
"According to Mr. Ferro's guess, maybe Reynolds himself is not a staff member of that laboratory. He...may be the subject of the experiment."
When Cindy said this, she couldn't help showing pity. Every time Reynolds answers similar questions, the resistance and fear emanating from the depths of his soul cannot be faked. That kind of fear is enough to infect these living people.
It is precisely based on this that Ferro believes that Reynolds may be just an experiment.
Nice: "Any other news?"
Cindy thought for a while and said: "Although Reynolds does not remember the specific conditions inside the laboratory, he remembers the general location of the laboratory."
It was precisely because Reynolds had delineated a rough area that Ferro went alone to search for traces two days ago.
"Other than that, there is no other news... Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Lord Ferro once asked Reynolds for a name, Ginny Whatsen."
The armored mother-in-law said softly: "It's 'Slim Red Night Butterfly' Ginny Watson."
"Yes! It's the one my mother-in-law was talking about." Cindy nodded fiercely.
Iron-clad Granny: "Then what did Reynolds answer?"
Cindy pondered for a moment and recalled: "Reynolds reacted very strangely when he heard the name. He looked at Lord Ferro with a very strange expression, and then said something."
"Reynolds asked Lord Ferro - are you going to rob her?"
"Robbing her?" Angel narrowed his eyes: "Who is this 'her'?"
Cindy shook her head: "Reynolds didn't say anything. Then Sir Ferro continued to ask this question, and Reynolds behaved like a dull gourd, never answering."
Iron-clad Granny: "Although Reynolds didn't say anything, it's basically certain from his behavior that he knows something about Night Butterfly Witch."
Nice also nodded: "Yes, it is probably because of Reynolds' reaction that Ferro couldn't sit still. He didn't even have time to notify, so he took the initiative to investigate... What a mess. "
Angel glanced at Nice, who had a sigh on his face, and thought to himself: You scolded Ferro for messing around, and you were not the one who clearly encouraged Ferro to take over the task.
Angel turned to look at Cindy: "Besides these, is there any news?"
Cindy shook her head.
"It's really gone. Didn't he mention any companions?"
Cindy still shook her head: "No."
Angel kept asking questions and specifically mentioned Reynolds' companions, which made Nice and the Iron-clad Granny look at him with some suspicion.
Angel also felt their attention. He did not explain immediately, but continued to ask Cindy: "Then did he mention a person named Nausicaa?"
"Nausicaa?" Cindy was stunned for a moment: "Sir, you mean Asbel?"
Angel nodded: "Do you know Nausicaa too?"
Cindy's eyes flashed: "Yes, Shan and I have done tasks together. Shan has said many things related to Nausicaa. Although I haven't met Nausicaa yet, her name is... But it was like thunder.”
After a pause, Cindy realized that she had changed the topic and quickly returned to the right track: "Reynolds didn't mention Nausicaa."
Angel frowned and tapped his fingers on the table in a hurry.
Angel himself didn't expect that he just checked about the cave altar in his spare time, and ended up getting involved with Reynolds. Most importantly, Reynolds is also related to Nausicaa!
After the Rising Stars Game, Nausicaa left with Reynolds. Now that Reynolds has become a soul and there is no news about Nausicaa, what happened here?
Nausicaa, where are you now? Is she involved in this, and...is she still alive?
The more Angel thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Cindy who was a little confused: "Now, is Reynolds still following you?"
Cindy nodded: "Yes, the four of us who took over the mission are now on an uninhabited island in the fog belt. Reynolds is also here."
Angel: "Go offline now and ask Reynolds if he still remembers Nausicaa? Now that he remembers it, ask him to tell him about Nausicaa's situation; if he doesn't want to tell it, report it to me. His name...if he still refuses to answer, just hand him the login device and ask him to go online, and I will ask."
Cindy opened her mouth. Didn't Mr. Rhine give an order that the login should be kept secret? Wouldn't it be bad for Mr. Pat to just let a person of unknown origin come in?
The reason why Cindy thinks so is because she only got the login device for a short time and didn't know that the Dream Wilderness itself was created by Angel.
However, she looked at Granny Iron Armor and Nice, and neither showed any objection. She nodded: "Okay, I'll ask now."
After Cindy left, Nice looked at Angel: "I remember that Nausicaa was the female pirate who was at the same time as you, right?"
When Angel first entered the mirror world, it was Nice who led them to jump into the cave, so Nice remembered Nausicaa... because Nausicaa was very beautiful. Moreover, Angel had a good relationship with Nausicaa, and Ness also knew about it from his short-lived apprentice Hook Dick.
Angel nodded: "Yes, Nausicaa is my friend."
"What's going on with her and Reynolds?" Ness asked, "Are they a couple?"
Angel shook his head: "After the Rising Stars Game, Nausicaa left with Reynolds, saying she was going to pick up something important..."
At this point, Angel suddenly paused.
Reynolds said that he escaped from the laboratory and his number was No. 1... Nausicaa said that she would follow Reynolds there to get something important...
Sacrifice in the crypt... skeletal remains of organs...
According to the prophecy of Dotolo, the organs preserved in special liquids... the extraordinary organs of various races, including humans... the right hand of the Night Butterfly Witch...
In his mind, many fragmented memories that were previously unclear came out one after another, weaving into a logical chain with hidden threads.
Finally, at the end of this logical chain, a fragment of Nausicaa's memory appears.
That was what happened when Angel was still an apprentice and returned to the savage cave from the fairy tale world.
Angel returned to Apprentice Town and was just about to open the door when he saw a woman wearing soft armor standing under a big tree not far away.
She is Nausicaa.
Nausicaa turned her back to Angel at first, and her beautiful brown wavy hair was messy in the wind.
"Nausicaä."
She seemed to hear Angel calling and turned slightly sideways. The moment she saw Angel, her nearly perfect profile revealed a light dimple.
"Hey, Angel." Nausicaa waved her left hand, "You are finally back."
Angel looked at her right hand, which was empty.
"Your right hand...is injured?"
"Injured? No." Nausicaa felt the shock in Angel's eyes, but she didn't notice it at all. She smiled and said: "My right hand, I just accidentally lost it."
The memory ends here.
Angel felt that his thinking was still in a daze, but based on the derivation of this memory chain, he seemed to know something.
As a wizard on the blood side, Nausicaa's right hand is undoubtedly extremely important. Even if Angel made a special prosthetic limb to replace it, there is still no way to fully control it like an arm.
Needless to say, Nausicaa needs a right hand.
When the Rising Stars Game ended, Nausicaa left and told Angel that the place where Reynolds took her had something she needed. Such things are very important to her and are her first goal to achieve her ultimate dream.
Although Nausicaa didn't say what it was at the time, now based on various clues, it can be deduced that what Nausicaa wanted was a right hand.
And the laboratory where Reynolds is located can really provide Nausicaa with a right hand.
After clarifying Nausicaa's goal, doubts arose in Angel's heart.
Why does Nausicaa think she can get a right hand from those tattooed people?
What happened after that?
"Angel?"
"Angel?"
Angel came out of his thoughts and raised his head to look at Nice opposite.
Nice: "Why are you in a daze again? What are you thinking about? You just said that Nausicaa left with Reynolds to get something important. What was it?"
Angel: "She didn't tell me at the time, but judging from the current situation, maybe the important thing Nausicaa is going to get is a right hand that suits her bloodline."
Angel did not hide anything. He briefly explained Nausicaa's situation and expressed his speculation.
After hearing this, Nice said with deep approval: "Your speculation seems to make sense. Nausicaa happens to be missing an arm, and those people with digital tattoos are most likely to be involved in organ smuggling. Dudolo's In the prophecy, I also saw many extraordinary organs, including the right hand... Huh?! I remember that the Night Butterfly Witch has the right hand, could this be what Nausicaa is targeting?"
The armored old woman tilted her head and whispered, "It's really possible. Do you still remember how Reynolds answered when Ferro asked Reynolds about the Night Butterfly Witch?"
——Are you going to rob her?
The 'she' here, in common language, is the third person specifically referring to women.
Ness clapped his hands: "That's right, that's right! That must be the case! Nausicaa, this little girl, is quite discerning. She actually set her sights on Witch Night Butterfly's hand!"
Nice's speculation may indeed be the truth. However, this is not important to Angel at this time.
What he is more concerned about now is, what is Nausicaa's current situation?
