"let me go!"
"No, no, no - after the battle is over, the first thing to do is treatment."
His left arm and left shoulder were scratched by glass and whip respectively. As for his right abdomen, he was directly hit by a whip. The bloody wounds were still in unbearable pain. But for some reason, Kyle found it difficult. I endured the pain and disinfected it with alcohol before putting on a bandage.
Fortunately, the newcomer's police uniform has long sleeves, which can cover all the wounds underneath.
"Miss Macchiato, although I also thought that after coming to such an inaccessible place, you would have the idea of killing me, I really didn't expect that you turned out to be an incarcerated person. But this may be a surprise. "
This means that the red thorns may have reacted to her identity as an incarcerated person. The reason why there has been no reaction before is because Kyle has never encountered an incarcerated person...
It would be better to say that he was very lucky to meet an incarcerated person so quickly in this life. After all, according to the information on the Internet, when the M value is above 200, 98.4% of patients will have a mental breakdown and become a monster that has lost its mind and has no strength - a dead soldier; when the M value is above 600, it is a special madman who still maintains his sanity. Only then are they qualified to be called imprisoned.
Out of a hundred people infected with deep madness, basically only one person can become an incarcerated person.
Now the one in a hundred 'talents' was restrained in place by Kyle with handcuffs, and she looked at Kyle with a 'goo, kill me' expression.
"Okay, stop moving. Your wounds need to be treated as well."
Macchiato stared at him, looking at him like an enemy even as she treated the scratches on her face.
"I still prefer your soft expression when we first met."
"That's not the real me."
"Of course, as long as they are incarcerated, no matter how harmless they appear, the degree of being infected with madness has gone beyond what ordinary people can understand."
According to Kyle's understanding, the incarcerated people become rational after reaching a certain level of madness, or the extremely strong madness does not make them fall. This means that they have abilities and traits that can resist madness, which can be reason, dreams, and persistence. , or maybe love.
The person in front of me should be a family member.
"Haha, you are trying to say that the incarcerated are all monsters."
Kyle didn't speak. After taking care of the wound, he could finally try his new plug-in with peace of mind.
Summarizing his previous experiences, Kyle discovered that the red thorns would only appear if they had been in contact with the Incarcerated for a long time, and would not react to ordinary people or the general Madness.
As for what this red thorn can do, that's what he wants to know now.
"No, don't come near me!"
"Sorry, I have to figure out my trump card when I come here."
After he put his hand on the top of Macchiato, red thorns appeared again from the back of his hand, and his body gradually felt a searing pain. The pain was not like the tactile manipulation of Macchiato, but more like Something is coming out of me!
The red thorns were like overflowing blood, and dazzling electric light danced around them. The red lines gradually spread from the back of the hand to Kyle's whole body, just like a magic circuit.
After his vision also turned red, he looked at the red-haired incarcerated person in front of him with burning eyes. The red lines on his body dripped on the girl's skin like erupting lava. The originally dim The environment is filled with red.
"Uhhhhhh-"
"Be patient, Macchiato, I feel like I'm almost done."
The scarlet shackles tightly bound Macchiato, and the flashing red heat even melted the shackles on her hands. Macchiato, who had been freed from the old shackles but had new ones added to her body, looked at the shackles on her body and understood immediately for some reason. He realized that the person holding the shackles was the police officer in front of him, and he was the prisoner bound by the shackles.
"What did you--did?"
“I became the one holding the yoke, that’s all.”
Kyle understood everything like instinct. By touching the incarcerated person for a long time, he released an ability called 'shackles', and now he relies on this ability to lock his first incarcerated person. The shackles convey each other's position, and they can even vaguely sense each other's feelings.
However, now Macchiato seems to be in despair about the future, and it seems that she is holding back tears.
"Um...I just didn't know that my ability was to control other people's shackles."
After hearing these words of comfort, Macchiato actually started sobbing.
"No, I just wanted to figure out what that red streak was from the beginning to the end. I never wanted to control you. Besides, it wasn't you who attacked me first."
Kyle thought for a while, he had her handle, and he took her to an inaccessible place in such a hurry... If it were him, he would definitely strike first and kill the pervert who coerced him. Give him a good lesson.
Forget it, any further explanation will only make it darker and darker. Kyle, who no longer wanted to explain, clenched his fists, and the red thorns quickly climbed up Macchiato's body, tying her up as quietly as the shackles.
"My first order - tell me how you became the Infinite."
The sobbing Macchiato didn't want to speak at first, but under the influence of the shackles, her mouth seemed to open uncontrollably, and the thorns on her body gradually penetrated into her skin. Although not a drop of blood was left, the thorns on her soul were... The pain forced her to tell the truth.
"In order to make money, I have been working hard, but every time I was gossiped about because of my gender and appearance, I was forced to lose the opportunity for promotion. Then one day my boss told me that he could give me a smooth promotion, but the conditions were Be his lover.”
The shackles forced her to tell the truth, while Macchiato helplessly recalled the past and told her own troubles.
"Although I have a family to take care of and I need money, it's impossible for me to do that kind of thing."
"Haha, that kind of man is like a fly. If you reject him, he will circle around you even more."
"Yes, I told him categorically that it was impossible, but the fat pig actually thought that I was waiting for a price. Just in the first three months, he tore off the hypocritical disguise on his body and wanted to go straight. When he touched me, maybe because of his extreme disgust and resentment, my powers were awakened."
After hearing this, Kyle thought about it for a while and thought it was incredible, because according to the generation process of the incarcerated person - to become an incarcerated person, one must first be infected with madness, and then only after the degree of madness infection deepens can one be qualified to become an incarcerated person. .
"Have you never been exposed to sources of mental pollution before awakening your powers?"
Hearing this question, Macchiato thought for a while but couldn't think of an answer. She didn't feel that she had been exposed to any pollution source at all and could only shake her head.
"This is absolutely impossible. The power of the incarcerated comes from the influence of deep madness. If it is just a strong emotional outburst..."
Patients infected by madness will show varying degrees of mania, paranoia and other mental symptoms. That is to say, madness can lead to strong emotional outbursts, but what if it is the other way around?
Just like a reversible chemical reaction, it can proceed in the direction of the forward reaction and at the same time in the direction of the reverse reaction. Just like some reactions are not reversible reactions under normal conditions, but changing some conditions will become reversible reactions. So could this condition that makes strong emotions lead to strong madness happen to Macchiato?
"You are such an interesting woman."
