5 Minutes
Just as the vole was tied up and thrown into the truck, Marcie squatted down in front of Septimus in a single room in the basement.
"Hey, wake up," she said as she slapped Septimus's face.
The latter soon opened his eyes in a daze. As soon as he woke up, the sharp pain in the back of his head woke him up as well. Septimus gasped and asked, "What happened? Why did you tie me up? "
Marcie stared at him with her green eyes.
"Nothing, I suddenly wanted to chat with you."
"What do you have to say to me? Ah … It's Lin San's bar? She's here? " Septimus raised his head and looked around cautiously. However, he did not find anything.
Marcie smiled at him and sat down opposite him. The two of them looked at each other.
"Septimus, although our relationship is the worst, and we fight whenever we get the chance, I have to admit that we get along quite well after meeting you."
"Did Lin Sanjiu say something to you?" Septimus retorted and coughed. "I suggest you listen to what I have to say …"
Marcie did not respond at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Among the 11 personalities, you're the last person I want to see the most."
Septimus suddenly fell silent and did not ask, "Who is the last one?" as if there was a magic in his words.
"It's great that Sociopath didn't come out, right? Sigh, I still can't speak Chinese very well. What's the Chinese for this word … "She glanced at him and continued," … You remember it too, right? At that time, Luther was sent to a mental hospital. Several international experts diagnosed him and confirmed the existence of our 11 personalities. "
The gentle voice of the woman echoed in the room, but the man who was tied up did not say a word.
"Only the last personality has never been seen by any of the doctors, and we are not familiar with him. Just when everyone thought that the twelfth personality did not exist, a female doctor came — remember? In order to understand this rare case of split personality, she chatted with Luther for an entire night … The next day, she was found dead in her office, naked. "
"She's like a pregnant woman. Her belly is swollen, and it's filled with pillows and documents from her office … I heard that they're all soaked in blood. The word '12th Man' was written on the stitches on his stomach, and a heart was drawn beside it. "
"The 12th man. All the doctors only knew this codename. No one had seen him before. Was he a man or a woman? How old is he? What's your name? He did not know any of them. We could only deduce from his behavior when he appeared that he was a … Sigh, what's his Chinese name again … "
Septimus said softly, "What a sick personality."
His tone was very strange. His words were ambiguous and soft, but they had a kind of twisted charm that made people want to listen to him say a few more words. Neither Luther nor the previous Septimus had ever spoken in such a tone.
Marcie's expression changed. She tried her best to stabilize her trembling hands, took a deep breath, and asked, "How are you going to prove that you are the real Septimus now?"
He raised his head and looked at Marcie for a while, then revealed a smile that could be considered pure.
"Forget it then. It's quite tiring to pretend to be Septimus all the time. " The words that came out of his mouth were soft, soft, and a little unclear. It was completely different from before.
Marcie looked at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
"That's strange … In order not to let you find out, I deliberately pretended to be your enemy, Septimus. If it was him, wouldn't it be normal for him to go against you? Why do you suspect me? "Septimus — no, it should be 12 — tilted his head and asked in confusion.
"The one who understands you the most is your enemy." Marcie smiled with a pale face.
12 nodded his head in agreement. "No wonder. However, I am the one who controls Luther's body now. I can split you, so I can take you back … Although it's a little troublesome to do so. Don't tell me you have forgotten? "
Marcie gritted her teeth, and her nails grew long. She stared into his eyes and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
12 glanced at her nails and frowned slightly. "It's obviously useless, but it's still sticking out … Oh, I remember that you seem to have leveled up …"
At this point, he suddenly revealed a stiff smile and said, "Let me see how leveled up."
If a plastic dummy could smile, it would definitely look like this.
"I'm warning you …" Marcie jumped up and swung her nails at 12, causing the curtain at the door to flutter. "Don't use Luther's face to make that expression!"
Even though he was tied up, 12 was still as agile as a fish. He kicked his legs, rolled on the ground, and barely dodged the long nails. He struggled to get out of the rope. Marcie did not give him the chance. She clawed at him again. 12's eyelids twitched, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
Marcie's nails had changed. They no longer emitted a metallic luster like before. Now, her nails seemed to have become a matte material, and they were shockingly hard. Deep cracks appeared on the wall where her nails scratched. Through the holes, she could even see the bed next door.
I understand now …
When another attack came, 12 did not dodge. Instead, he faced it head-on. Suddenly, a deep wound appeared on his body, and blood immediately dripped down. He was now using Luther's body. Before Marcie could feel her heart ache, a few pieces of rope fell to the ground.
"Thank you for helping me untie this knot," 12 said politely and stepped out of the broken rope. "Now, you can go back and watch me play."
Marcie immediately stopped.
12 smiled and took a step forward. Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly whispered in surprise, "Huh?"
"Your ability is gone, right?" The woman opposite him spoke, and there was a hint of joy in her voice, "Even your basic ability is gone. What a pity!"
12 looked up at her in surprise. No matter what expression he had, when he made it, it always seemed to be separated by a layer. It was faint and did not feel real.
Seeing "Luther" in such a state, Marcie suppressed the discomfort in her heart and rushed forward again —
[The soap used to wash clothes will also become dirty]
Description: All evolved abilities (including basic and advanced abilities) of people who are injured by nails will be washed clean within 120 seconds. Nails stained with the opponent's blood cannot be used again within 24 hours. Only clean nails can continue to be used.
After losing all of Luther's abilities, 12 became like an ordinary person. His resistance did not last for more than ten seconds before he was knocked down by Marcie and stepped on the ground. His hands were tied behind his back with a bedsheet. Then, she muttered to Luther in her heart, "I'm sorry." Then, she pulled back her nails and slashed the back of his head. Twelve fainted again.
It was the first time she used her new ability, and she was able to defeat a terrifying person like 12. Marcie heaved a sigh of relief and felt her whole body go limp.
She looked at 12, whose eyes were tightly shut, and frowned. Suddenly, she felt a little troubled. After some thought, Marcie felt that it would be best to let Xiao Jiu know about this … She sighed and pushed him under the bed. Then, she turned around and walked out the door.
When Xiao Jiu left just now, she had forgotten to tell Marcie where she was going. Just when Marcie stood at the entrance of the building, feeling a little worried, not knowing where to look for her, someone suddenly called her from afar, "Marcie!"
She turned around and saw an unfamiliar woman with long black hair.
If Lin Sanjiu was here, she would immediately recognize that it was Fang Dan.
However, due to Luther's split personality and shapeshifting ability, the situation had quietly become complicated.
During the few days that 12 had been pretending to be Marcie, he had met Fang Dan many times through Lin Sanjiu. Therefore, Fang Dan knew Marcie. However, on the day that Lin Sanjiu met Fang Dan, the real Marcie disappeared, so Marcie did not know who Fang Dan was.
"Who are you?" Marcie looked at the woman warily. After the incident with 12 and Chen Jinfeng, Marcie was unconsciously wary of people.
Fang Dan opened her mouth and closed it again. She looked at Marcie as if she was crazy. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with Marcie, "If you are looking for Xiao Jiu, she is at the well management team!"
After she said that, she turned and left.
Previously, when she went to the canteen, Lin Sanjiu had instructed Fang Dan to tell Marcie that she was at the well management team if she asked. However, the fake "Marcie" did not ask, so Fang Dan kept that in mind. It was obvious that Marcie was looking around for someone, so Fang Dan volunteered to tell Marcie what Lin Sanjiu told her.
Even though Marcie was confused, she still went to the well management team.
The well management team was very far away. Due to a combination of circumstances, when Marcie realized that Lin Sanjiu wasn't there, she had to go around a few times before she finally found Lin Sanjiu.
After hearing Marcie's words, Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
She never expected that there would be such a twist in the process. After she calmed down from her shock, she thought about it carefully. Suddenly, her face turned a little pale, "You can't just put him under the bed. What if he wakes up and takes you back? "
"Don't worry. If I want to take back my splitting ability, it won't be as easy as just thinking about it … "Marcie gave her a comforting smile," It's just that it's a bit of a headache what to do in the future. "
Even though she said that, both of them still went downstairs and walked towards Marcie's room. Lin Sanjiu told Marcie about Vole's identity, "Since we found a consular officer, we don't have to stay here anymore. Let's get into the car and leave —"
As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and bent down to look under the bed.
Marcie looked at Lin Sanjiu's motionless back and laughed, "Did I beat him up too badly?"
Lin Sanjiu turned her head slowly. Her face was pale, "There's no one under the bed?"
