C211 (1/2)
This suspension car was also very fast. After an hour, the suspension car descended from the sky. During this period, Helena and I had not spoken.
The car landed on the ground, the woman from the Hidden Hand opened her car door and got off. Then, she shouted coldly towards Helena and I, ”Get down!”
They got off the car with Helena and discovered that they were in a big courtyard. There were many grand buildings in the courtyard, and each of them were tens of floors high. This was the tallest building I had ever seen. Every building had the same logo, representing the meaning of a slave.
Trafficking in human beings, how dare he be so brazen? Just as I was thinking about this, the woman said, ”You should know that the law forbids forcing others to become slaves. Only when the slave himself agrees to become a slave can the deal be concluded. Once inside, you will say that it is a gambling debt owed to the casinos, that the resources become slaves, and that we are the beneficiaries. That is to say, when we become slaves, the slave companies will pay the beneficiaries a sum of money, which will be ours. ”Don't play any tricks, you guys should know that once you become slaves, you still have a chance to live. If you can't sell, I will kill you all!”
So that's how it was. Unlike what I imagined, only with the consent of the slave himself could one become a slave. Furthermore, what this woman said is right. If we become slaves, there is a chance of survival, and if we cannot sell it out, they will not leave behind two useless people. I nodded. ”We know.”
”All of you are sensible.” The woman said with a cold snort.
”I want to speak a few words with her. Don't worry, I won't play any tricks.” I pointed to Helena.
Seeing that the lady nodded, I explained to Helena the current situation in First Realm language.
”So, Helena, we must cooperate to become slaves! That way, we can find a chance to escape. Otherwise, we'll just have to die.
”Yes.” Helena nodded.
I looked at the girl and said, ”That's enough. Let's go.”
The four of us were escorted into a building.
An old man pointed at me in shock and said, ”What?” You said that he is the controller of the cryptoid ability? ”
”Yes, Mr. Barker.” The woman respectfully said.
The old man walked in front of me and sized me up. ”Brat, are you controlling your soul or your body?”
I shook my head. ”I don't have any hidden abilities. I'm just an ordinary person.” ”Old sir, we have volunteered to be slaves. Please help us complete the relevant procedures quickly.”
”Mr. Barker, he is indeed a control type esper. We were all controlled before.” The woman glared at me and said.
”I need to give him a test before I can give him the price.” The old man said.
”No problem, please feel free, Mr. Cuba.” The woman said.
”Come with me.” As the old man spoke, he led us to a room on the twelfth floor. In the middle of the room was a semi-circular apparatus, which was emitting light.
”Kid, you go stand in the middle!” The old man said.
I grinned, but then I couldn't laugh anymore! Hidden ability, Third Realm's hidden ability, does my power of time also belong to a type of hidden ability?! Furthermore, it was a hidden ability exclusive to Realm lord s! What would happen if I were to be tested for time concealment? Maybe it would be better to become a slave! At this thought, I stopped.
The woman said, ”Brat, if you dare play any more tricks, I'll kill her right now!” The lady pointed at Helena.
Even if he killed Helena, I would have to go up and take the test as well. I forced myself to step into the center of the machine.
Rays of white light radiated from the machine, all of them shining onto my body. At this moment, I felt as though something had awakened in my body, and I felt a splitting headache! The next moment, a person who looked exactly like me is standing in front of me! I could feel that he had been separated from me. He had to listen to my orders!
The light of the machine disappeared and the doppelganger turned into a point of light that flew back into my body.
The old man said in disappointment, ”So he's just a trash clone of the hidden esper, and his strength hasn't reached level 9 yet!” How was this a type of hidden esper? Are you kidding me? ”
”How could this be?” The lady said in shock, ”Mr. Barker, can you test it again? Could it be that there's a problem with the machine?”
