Sinclair replied, "When we first discovered Reynolds, he appeared to be in a bit of a daze. When we questioned him later, we discovered that some of his memories seemed to be very blurry. Master Filo speculated that perhaps the unique domain of the Mist Belt affected his soul, or perhaps his soul was injured, or perhaps he chose to seal off his memories. We don't know the details yet. "
"Go on. Tell me about your encounter with Reynolds, what happened next, and what Reynolds told you. Tell me everything."
Cindy nodded and began to tell the story.
They had met Reynolds in a rocky reef area deep in the misty belt. At that time, Reynolds had behaved like a rootless sea ghost, wandering around the reef aimlessly.
Ghosts like this were not common at Devil's Water, but they could still be encountered once in a while. Most of them were victims of shipwrecks.
They didn't plan to talk to Reynolds until they saw the tattoo on his face, which prompted Filo to bring him back.
At first, Reynolds was confused and wary of them. It wasn't until Cindy found out his real name and Filo told them what they were looking for that Reynolds woke him up from his self-indulgence.
During questioning, they learned that Reynolds had escaped from a laboratory. The people in the laboratory all had number tattoos on their faces.
The lab was mainly used for biological experiments. There were limbs and organs everywhere, as well as many cells where creatures were kept.
"Something happened, and Reynolds rebelled against the authority of the laboratory. He doesn't remember what happened in the end. Anyway, he appeared in the Foggy Sea in the form of a soul," Cindy said. "That's the general situation."
After listening to Sindy's explanation, everyone had a lot of questions in their minds. Ness was the first to speak. "What's the name of that laboratory? Who's in charge? "
Cindy shook her head. "Reynolds doesn't remember it either, but according to him, it's not because his memory was damaged this time. It's because the name of the laboratory itself is very strange. Even when his memory was intact, he would always forget it."
Angor, Ness, and Iron Granny all thought of the same thing: "Soul Script".
Just like the words on Ness's stone tablet, the memory would be blurred in the blink of an eye.
Also, the lab had something to do with the "culprit" behind the altar, which had something to do with the Cazider World organization. Therefore, it was possible that the name of the lab was in Cazider World.
Cindy continued, "As for the person in charge, Reynolds doesn't remember his name either. But he did know that everyone called each other by a number, which is the number tattoo on their faces."
At this point, Cindy seemed to have thought of something and added, "That's right, it's the same for Reynolds himself. He also has his own number. In the laboratory, the others also use this number to call him. His real name is actually the number. As for the name 'Reynolds', he gave it to himself later. "
"Reynolds doesn't remember anything about the lab and their research?" Angor asked.
Cindy said, "Reynolds's memory is damaged, so he often speaks incoherently. Some of the nouns are clearly coming out of his mouth, but he doesn't know what they mean. Reynolds's memories of the lab, which was filled with fear, the smell of blood everywhere..... the bright lights, the bright lights, the evil beings in their uniforms, the screams of souls, all... all kinds of limbs, crazy rituals, and a lot of strange instruments...
Reynolds could occasionally say the names of these instruments, but he couldn't remember what they looked like.
"His memory is a bit messy, so it's hard to get detailed information from Reynolds. Mister Filo only guessed and made random guesses. "
Ness asked, "What about Reynolds himself? Isn't he a lab worker too? Even if his memory is partially obscured, he should know something about the lab, right? "
Sinclair shook his head. "Master Filo asked Reynolds a similar question, but whenever the subject of the experiment was brought up, Reynolds was extremely resistant and fearful. At the same time, he repeatedly mentioned the blinding white light, the stench of blood, and those sinister faces."
"According to Master Filo's conjecture, perhaps Reynolds isn't actually a member of that research lab. He … might be a test subject."
Cindy couldn't help but feel pity for Reynolds. Every time Reynolds answered such questions, the fear and resistance that came from the depths of his soul couldn't be faked. That kind of fear was enough to infect living people like them.
It was for this reason that Filo believed Reynolds to be nothing more than a test subject.
Ness asked, "Is there anything else?"
Cindy considered for a moment. "Reynolds didn't remember the details of the lab, but he did remember its general location."
It was precisely because Reynolds had circled out a rough area that Filo had gone off on his own two days ago to search for traces of him.
"That's all. Oh, there's one more thing. Mister Filo asked Reynolds about a name, something called Jenny Watson. "
"'Crimson Nightbutterfly' Jenny Watson," Iron Granny said in a small voice.
"Yes! That's her! "Cindy nodded.
Iron Granny: "What did Reynolds say?"
Cindy thought for a moment and tried to recall. "Reynolds reacted strangely when he heard the name. He looked at Mister Filo with a strange expression and said something.
"Reynolds asked Mister Filo if he was going to steal it from her."
"Steal it from her?" Angor narrowed his eyes. "Who's this' her '?"
Cindy shook her head. "Reynolds didn't say. Afterwards, Sir Filo continued to press the issue, but Reynolds refused to answer the question. "
"Reynolds didn't say anything, but I'm sure he knows something about the Night Butterfly." Iron Granny nodded.
Ness nodded. "That's right. It was probably because of Reynolds' reaction that Filo couldn't sit still any longer. He didn't even have time to notify Reynolds before he took the initiative to investigate … … What a mess."
Angor glanced at Ness and thought to himself, You're the one who told Filo to accept the quest. You're the one who did all this.
"Anything else?" Angor looked at Cindy.
Cindy shook her head.
"Really. Did he say anything about his companions?"
"No." Cindy shook her head again.
Both Iron Granny and Ness raised their eyebrows when they heard Angor mentioning Reynolds' friends.
"Did he mention someone called Nausica?" Cindy nodded. "So?" Cindy nodded.
"Nausica?" Cindy didn't know what to say. "You mean Asbel?"
Angor nodded. "You know Nausica too?"
Cindy's eyes lit up. "Yes. I did a quest with Shan before, and she told me a lot about Nausica. I haven't met Nausica yet, but I've heard a lot about her. "
Cindy paused and realized that Nausica had changed the topic. "Reynolds never mentioned Nausica."
He furrowed his eyebrows and tapped the table with his fingers.
He didn't expect to get involved with Reynolds when he was just checking the altar in the underground cavern out of boredom. More importantly, Reynolds had something to do with Nausica!
After the Rising Star Competition, Nausica left the underground cavern together with Reynolds. Now, Reynolds was a soul, and Nausica was nowhere to be found. What was going on?
Where was Nausica now? Was she also involved in this matter? And … was she still alive?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
After a while, he looked at the confused Cindy and asked, "Is Reynolds still with you now?"
Cindy nodded. "Yes. The four of us who accepted the quest are now on an uninhabited island in the mist zone. Reynolds is here too. "
"Go offline now and ask Reynolds if he still remembers Nausica. If he doesn't, just tell him my name. If he still refuses to answer, just give him the log-in device and let him come online. I'll do the questioning. "
Cindy opened her mouth. Didn't Mister Rein order to keep the log-in device a secret? Why did Mister Padt let an unknown person in?
Cindy didn't know that Angor was the one who created the dream wasteland. She didn't know that Angor was the one who created the dream wasteland.
She glanced at Iron Granny and Ness, who didn't seem to mind, and nodded. "Alright, I'll go ask him now."
After Cindy left, Ness looked at Angor again. "Nausica is the female pirate from the same era as you, right?"
When Angor first entered the mirror world, Ness was the one who helped him jump into Heaven's Trench. That was why Ness remembered Nausica because she was very pretty. Also, Angor and Nausica were good friends. Ness learned from Hookdick, Angor's short-lived apprentice.
Angor nodded. "Yes. She's my friend."
"What's going on between her and Reynolds?" Ness asked. "Are they lovers?"
Angor shook his head. "After the Rising Star Competition, Nausica left with Reynolds. She said she was going to get something important —"
Angor suddenly stopped talking.
Reynolds said he escaped from his lab, and his serial number was 1. Nausica said she was going to get something important from there.
The sacrifice in the underground cavern … the skeletal remains of her organs …
According to Dodoro's prophecy, the organs preserved in a special liquid … the supernatural organs of various races, including humans … the right hand of the Night Butterfly …
In his mind, many fragments of memories that he did not understand before ran out one after another, weaving into a hidden logic chain.
At the end of the chain, he found Nausica's memory.
It was when he returned to Brute Cavern from Fairy World when he was still an apprentice.
When he was about to open the door of his house, he saw a woman in soft armor standing under a tree not far away.
It was Nausica.
Nausica was facing away from Angor. Her beautiful, wavy brown hair was messed up by the wind.
"Nausica."
She seemed to have heard Angor's call. She slowly turned around, and a pair of dimples appeared on her perfect face as soon as she saw Angor.
"Yo, Angor." Nausica waved her left hand. "You're finally back."
Angor looked at her right hand. There was nothing there.
"Your right hand … is it hurt?"
"Hurt? No. " Nausica saw the surprise in Angor's eyes, but she didn't notice it at all. "It's my right hand. I just lost it by accident."
The memory stopped here.
Angor was still in a daze, but he seemed to know something from the chain of memories.
As a Bloodline Wizard, Nausica's right hand was very important to her. Even if Angor created a special artificial arm to replace it, he still couldn't use it like an actual arm.
Without a doubt, Nausica needed a right hand.
When Nausica left after the Rising Star Competition, she told Angor that the place Reynolds took her to had something she needed. Such a thing was very important to her. It was the first goal of her ultimate dream.
Nausica didn't tell Angor what it was back then, but now, Angor could tell that Nausica needed a right hand.
And Reynolds' lab really could provide Nausica with a right hand.
Now that he knew what Nausica's goal was, he began to wonder again.
Why did Nausica think she could get a right hand from those tattooed people?
What happened after that?
"Angor?"
"Angor?"
He lifted his head and looked at Ness, who was standing in front of him.
"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about? You said Nausica left with Reynolds to get something important. What is it? "
"She didn't tell me. But judging from the current situation, I think she's going for a right hand that matches her bloodline."
Angor didn't hide anything from Ness. He told Ness about Nausica's situation as well as his own speculation.
Ness nodded in agreement. "You're right. Nausica needs an arm, and those tattooed people are probably organ smugglers. Dodoro's prophecy mentioned a lot of supernatural organs, including a right hand. Huh?! I remember Night Butterfly's right hand. Is that what Nausica's after? "
Iron Granny tilted her head. "That's possible. Do you remember how Reynolds responded when Filo asked him about the Night Butterfly? "
Are you trying to steal it from her?
"She" was the third person used to refer to a woman in the common tongue.
Ness clapped his hands. "That's it! That's it! She's got her eyes on the Night Butterfly's hand, isn't she? "
Ness' guess was probably right. But it wasn't important for Angor right now.
He was more concerned about Nausica's current condition.
