"It doesn't look like a coffee room."
As if the levitating pod had fallen into a deep sleep, it stopped on the ground silently. Bohemia jumped out of the cabin and turned her head to look around. This was the first time she had seen such a depressing room in the vast Exodus. It was gray, simple, cold, narrow, and hard. Aside from the palm-sized skylight above the single bed, the only source of light in the room were two white tubes.
"What are they doing in a place like this?"
The thought flashed across Bohemia's mind, but she quickly threw it aside. It wasn't her habit to worry about others and think from their point of view. She dusted off the crumbs of her snacks and walked toward the door.
The door was smooth and seamless, as if it had melded into the wall. If it weren't for the fact that she remembered that she had come in from this door, she wouldn't have been able to find it. She searched all over the room, but she couldn't find the square door button that was commonly found in every room in Exodus. Bohemia slammed her hand on the wall. She was a little unhappy. She had always been able to enter Lin Sanjiu's room without any hesitation. She was used to doing whatever she wanted in Exodus.
"I'll just ask Silas to open the door."
She wiped her mouth, raised her head, and called out, "Silas." At least, the moment she opened her mouth, she thought she had called out.
Bohemia was startled. She blinked her eyes.
There was something missing in the air.
She took a deep breath, raised her voice, and called out again. Just like before, no sound came out of her throat.
It was as if her vocal cords were covered by some kind of sound filter. Even though Bohemia screamed with all her might until her face turned red and her veins popped, she could not hear her own voice at all.
She even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, but she could still hear every single muffled thud that hit the wall.
"What's going on?"
In Bohemia's mind, her screams, which were a mixture of anger and fear, had drowned out all other thoughts. However, in this narrow and silent room, all she could hear was her heavy and rapid breathing and the muffled thud of her body hitting the wall.
She would rather lose a leg than lose her voice.
The fear of being deprived of the foundation of survival was so intense that it took her a while to snap out of her daze. She turned around and pounced towards the levitating cabin. She did not have a special item that could break through the wall, but she could at least use the floating pod to break through the door.
Bohemia punched the control panel and buried her head in her arms.
This piece of scrap metal needed to be activated by voice!
To be precise, it had to be activated by Silas before it could be driven.
No, calm down and think about it. The situation might not be that bad. She was in a safe and familiar place. Not only were there no enemies, but there were also a few acquaintances. This was a rare occurrence in her life. After discovering that she was missing, someone would definitely come looking for her. As long as she could get out, she would definitely find a way to get her voice back.
As long as we can get out.
Bohemia suddenly looked up at the wall.
The hairy brothers had always been well-informed and omniscient; if she knocked on the door a few more times, they should have noticed that something was wrong. Moreover, this was where they were supposed to be. Perhaps, they would be here in a few more minutes.
Initially, she was just trying to force herself to calm down. However, as she thought about it, her face, which was flushed from all the commotion, gradually turned pale.
It had been more than three minutes since she entered the room. If the hairy brothers were coming, they should be here by now. However, she could not hear any movement or sound outside the door. And more importantly … where was she now?
Why did the hairy brothers come to this room?
Why didn't they come now?
Bohemia could not figure it out. She grabbed a few strands of her hair in frustration and pulled them straight. She walked to the wall and aimed at the gap of the door. Even though she was not known for her strength, the walls of this damn box were surprisingly sturdy. She was a posthuman, but she could not break it.
But when she was angry, she had to vent her anger no matter what. So she kicked him again and again until her legs were numb. She did not stop until the last kick was so strong that she lost her balance and fell to the ground. She bumped into herself and tears welled up in her eyes.
The food spilled out of her pocket, and a few pieces of butter cookies fell to the ground with a thud, splattering yellow bits on the smooth gray ground.
Bohemia's gaze rested on the cream puffs for a moment before she looked at her pocket.
Her voice... how did it suddenly disappear?
She slowly reached out and picked up the cream puffs. She frowned and looked at them for a while.
There were five to six types of snacks in her pocket. They were all given to her by Lin Sanjiu. She liked to pack her snacks in white paper bags and keep them in her pocket. That way, she could touch them whenever she wanted to eat them. In other words, no one else could have touched the snacks.
When Bohemia bent down to pick up the second piece of cream puff, her long hair slid down. The damp, curly ends of her hair caught her eye.
She stared at her half-dried hair and froze for a few seconds.
Yes, she didn't wear her clothes all the time. If someone came in and out of her room while she was showering and added something to her snacks …
Coincidentally, right after she was sent into this prison-like room, the effect of the "added something" came into play.
Was it them? How could they calculate the timing so accurately that it seemed like a coincidence?
Bohemia clenched her teeth so hard that the cream puff crumbled in her fist and fell to the ground in pieces.
Her face was cold and expressionless. She clapped her hands, rolled up her sleeves, and counted the bracelets on her wrist one by one. The more she counted, the gloomier her face became.
Nothing!
There were more than ten bracelets and almost twenty Special Items, but none of them could be used!
Silvan had just left, and Puppeteer was still unconscious due to his severe injuries. Hu Guzi and the puppets were probably still working as nurses in the infirmary. No one in Exodus knew that she was locked up in this prison-like room and could not get out, except for the hairy brothers who were full of suspicions.
Bohemia was so angry that she wanted to eat the hairy brothers alive. Just when she was so angry that her face turned pale and she sat on the ground in a daze, she suddenly felt a jolt under her feet and almost fell to the ground due to inertia.
Inertia?
