Chapter 62 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 062: Little Xi will know then? "Nan Yin sister... goodbye." San Hao... ah no, Wu Luo stood in front of the school's east gate, reluctant to let go of Nan Yin's hand. The girl rubbed her face gently against Nan Yin's shoulder as an indication of her reluctance. Time goes by so fast... Does she still have the chance to see Nan Yin sister again? Wu Luo, who had never been exposed to the world before, wore her loss plainly on her face, leaving Nan Yin somewhat at a loss. "Don't worry, I live nearby. As long as you have time, you can come and visit me." Nan Yin thought for a moment and reassured Wu Luo. "Really? Can I come and look for Nan Yin sister in the future?" Upon hearing this, Wu Luo looked up at Nan Yin. Even through her blindfold, Nan Yin could anticipate the young girl's face full of hope. "Of course, I can cook delicious food for you whenever you come," Nan Yin pinched Wu Luo's cheek, causing the latter's face to turn slightly red. "That... goodbye... Nan Yin sister." .................................. After bidding Nan Yin goodbye, Wu Luo used her specially trained blind intuition to walk towards the right side of the east gate. After crossing a traffic light, she heard the sound of a hover car approaching from afar, finally stopping beside her. "Beep! Beep!" The driver, Mr. Wang, honked the horn twice with an emotionless expression. Although he knew that San Hao, with her blind training, would definitely know it was him, Mr. Wang still performed this routine action. Next, he got out of the car and walked over to San Hao's side. "San Hao, it's time for us to go back." As Mr. Wang extended his arm to hold Wu Luo's hand, he noticed an unusual quivering in her hand - which had never occurred before. However, Mr. Wang didn't pay much attention to this detail. He simply assumed that San Hao had encountered some stimulation from her first exposure to the outside world. Moreover, during today’s fragmentary surveillance of San Hao, Mr. Wang observed that this prized experiment of ‘Doctor’ Sir hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary. After securing the girl to the back seat of the hover car with a seatbelt, Mr. Wang lit a cigar and sat in the driver's seat. Then, he activated the auto-drive system and leaned back comfortably in his seat. A moment later, Mr. Wang exhaled three smoke rings and uttered a question without emotion: "San Hao, what is it? You seem emotionally unstable." As a butler who has served three generations of test subjects, Mr. Wang had a clear understanding of the conditions of these subjects. Besides, he was a power user with both spatial and mental abilities. "...“ Listening to Mr. Wang's words, Wu Luo became somewhat dazed. She sat quietly in the back seat, as if she hadn't heard what Mr. Wang had just said. It was only after Mr. Wang gave a courteous cough to remind her that Wu Luo clenched her hands and quietly spoke: "Mr. Wang, could you…, in the future... call me Wu Luo?" A brief silence fell upon the hover car, apart from the sound of the car speeding past. Mr. Wang remained silent, puffing on his cigar. This made Wu Luo think that she had spoken too softly and Mr. Wang hadn't heard her. Just as Wu Luo was about to repeat herself, Mr. Wang flicked the ash off his cigar, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm: "Wu Luo? San Hao, this is truly a good name for you." "Your first time out and you gain such a significant name, you're much better than the previous two." Hearing about Yi Hao and Er Hao, Wu Luo unconsciously pursed her lips. But thinking about Nan Yin she met today, she felt inexplicably… happy? So, she spoke out again to Mr. Wang, who she had never spoken back at before. "Mr. Wang… could you please not call me San Hao in the future?" Mr. Wang fell silent again. He didn't seem to want to open up that topic as he put out his cigarette and reached for the city broadcast on the hover car's control panel. "Breaking news— the United Government held a press conference this afternoon, announcing that the last phase of the shipyard construction task has finally been completed three days ago at our lunar experimental base. The Shen Huang Imperial Family has expressed its plan to construct the first exploration ship..." "The annual Ability Competition of the Twelve Academies has reached its climax. This time, we will be focusing on the team from Long Jing Academy..." "The Basilis Royal Family has called for global attention to the Gate of Yokai, claimed by a spokesperson from the Central Science Institute that the Gate’s opening could potentially be expedited by three to five years…" The city broadcast continuously reported the latest affairs. "Mr. Wang, am I coming here again tomorrow?" Surprisingly, Wu Luo, who had been acting unusually today in Mr. Wang's eyes, spoke again. "San Hao, mind your status. If it weren't for your significant contributions this time, you wouldn’t even have the day off." Mr. Wang spoke without any emotion. "Don’t be greedy." Mr. Wang gestured towards his neck. San Hao quickly understood the meaning behind the action. Her mood dropped instantly because on her neck was a black suppression ring. A technological product to suppress abilities, it could also be referred to as a - collar. It belonged to her, representing her status as a 'slave'. "Mr. Wang… If, if I cooperate with the bloodline experiment you guys mentioned last time, would you agree to my request?" Hearing Wu Luo's words, Mr. Wang was clearly shocked, his usually calm face showing a distinct surprise. "San Hao, are you sure?" Mr. Wang's face quickly returned to its usual emotionless state, as he began to confirm. "Mr. Wang, all I want is… to have the chance to come here again." "…” Mr. Wang fell into silence again, and after a moment, he spoke again: "I will consider it..." "Miss Wu Luo." At the same time, in a garden of Roland High School. Jiang Mi, who was holding the application form, finally found Nan Yin after a diligent search. When she found the silver-haired girl, she was sitting in the same pavilion where she had talked with Su Xiao Yu, seemingly lost in thought. "Boss...what are you doing here?" "I had a hard time finding you." Jiang Mi complained quietly. "Why are you here? Didn't I ask Yi Yi to help me register?" The seemingly distracted Nan Yin came back to her senses. Seeing the orange-haired girl holding the application form, she asked in confusion. After she sent Wu Luo away, she had been pondering the tragedy of this villainess in the original story. Caught in her thoughts, she had completely lost track of time until Jiang Mi found her. "Well, Yi Yi became an orphan after severing ties with the Xia Jun family last time, so her registration process is a bit more complicated than ours. She stayed there to handle it." Jiang Mi explained carefully, before gently placing the registration form in front of Nan Yin. At this point, Nan Yin finally realized something was off with Jiang Mi. She frowned and swept her silver hair behind her ears, "What is wrong? You don't seem in the mood." "..." Jiang Mi remained silent for a moment after hearing Nan Yin's words, then she murmured, "Boss...are you really participating in the Ability Test?" "If so... wouldn't Little Xi know everything?"
