Chapter 231: Water Stains
Return to reality? Annan was taken aback when the final side mission was issued to him
What does this refer to?
Is it referring to ht of this name…”
This wasn’t the first time Annan heard the name — Evelyn Miller
Benjamin used this name in the password he used to deterhtmare, and that na the possibility of there existing another person with the same name, Benjaood er
“…I could have been in the past a few decades ago” Annan was lost in thought
So, in the original history, what happened to Evelyn Miller?
Annan first reached out to touch his left wrist, then slowly explored around it under the diht to feel the shape and depth of the wound
Annan couldn’t locate the injury through pain due to the [Reverse Inscription] curse’s desensitisation effect Moreover, the blood trails connecting his left arm to the floor had dried off He also didn’t have the option to locate the injuryLuckily, he still h his sense of touch
Soon, Annan noticed so
“This wound…” Annan was pleased with his new findings
Firstly, he ed to deter the hand on the handcuffs during the attempts to break free
It became apparent to him that the wound was a cut caused by some kind of sharp tool at the back of the hand
Judging from the depth of this wound…
Annan reached out and felt the area around the handcuffs
As expected, there was a thin blade over the side of the handcuff near the wall It felt like a shaving blade — thin and soft
Hmph, no wonder
Annan felt that the size of this pair of handcuffs wasn’t quite right froer, and couldn’t possibly cuff Evelyn in this area With her slender wrist, she should be able to pull her hand out of it after struggling for a bit
The new discovery explained to Annan why this body was half-kneeling on the ground when he entered the dungeon instance This was the only way to distance the blade from the skin If he were to stand up now, the blade would cut his wrist
Annan felt around some more calmly
He protected his skin with a layer of his clothes as he pushed the blade Through his attempt, he found out that the blade would retract when pressure was applied
With that, Annan immediately realized that this blade should be part of a certain mechanism
“Where is the other end of it?”
Annan pondered for a ht hand While keeping the blade away froround
He felt sonore it
In the end, he followed the chain and fu joint of the chain on the wall, he twisted it and found that it could be htened up
It’s here!
He reached out his hand to hold on to that designated joint and rotated it a few times He immediately noticed that if he rotated the switch counterclockwise, the blade would protrude further and vice versa
This didn’t feel like a device to imprison someone, but instead like some kind of torture device
Annan kept his left palravity to put the blade underneath the back of his hand Then, he rotated the switch clockwise
When Annan rotated it to the end, the blade had retracted completely
Annan didn’t hesitate to dislocate his left thumb, and pulled his left hand out of the cuff
However, he didn’t leave this place immediately but rotated the switch in the opposite direction He realized that the sideat this
As expected, after Annan rotated it counterclockwise for a while, the blade protruded out again After a while, the switch began to beco screw
The blade seemed to be attached to a chain Annan continued to rotate it When the blade was halfway out, the switch fell off along with the chain attached to it
The chain connecting the handcuffs to the as severed into two
The handcuffs on the wrist were still tightly shut It occurred to him that he needed the key to open it, but it didn’tit clockill unscrew the chain and the blade, while rotating it counterclockwise to tighten the blade
“In other words, if I don’t force my hand out, I need tothe blade to cut into the skin by my wrist nearly one centimeter Only then can I take the chain off the wall”
Annan frowned slightly This doesn’t seeeon cell…
