Pay Attention
Lucille’s lips curled into a smile. She mouthed in reply, “A sensor.”
Speaking of which, the sensor was created by her. She could track a person through. their body temperature and breathing. Even if they were separated by a wall, it could sense the person with 100 percent accuracy as long as she was within 3 to 5 meters.
of them.
More importantly, she had made the sensor into the shape of a button, which was why she had attached it to Agnes‘ clothes so openly. Actually, Agnes had detected the button when searching Lucille’s body, but it wasn’t–like she would pay attention.
to it.
She just had to wait. If the rest of the victims were all in this basement, the task would be completed soon.
She and Kylian wouldn’t have to put up an act anymore.
Lucille crossed her arms over her chest and waited patiently.
Soon, Agnes came back with a big bag in her hand, which was filled with boxed meals.
“It’s time to eat. Finish all of your food. You’re not allowed to leave anything uneaten, Agnes instructed.
She stuffed the boxes through a crack in the bars and warned them with a cold face, “Listen up. Don’t leave a single crumb, or I’ll electrocute you all!*
One of the boxes was stuffed into Lucille’s hands.
It was still hot. Obviously, it was freshly cooked, but the chef wasn’t skilled at cooking. Not only was the food overcooked, it didn’t have any seasoning, either.
Lucille felt a little disgusted.
The others had already unwrapped their utensils and were ready to eat.
Lucille looked at Yohanna in the corner and found that the box in her hand was different from the others. There were erased pencil markings on the lid.
It seemed like some sort of indicator.
She walked toward Yohanna and asked, “Can you give me those extra utensils, Miss Yohanna? I can’t use the ones they gave me.”
Out of the disposable utensils provided, there were a few that were splintered.
Pay Attention:
Unfortunately, Lucille happened to receive one of those.
Yohanna raised her head to look at Lucille. Seeing the innocent look on her face, she couldn’t say anything. She could only put down her meal and turn around and hand the pair of extra utensils to her.
“Thank you.”
Lucille returned to her small mattress with satisfaction and then started to eat
seriously.
She was so hungry that she didn’t leave a crumb.
At that moment, she heard two beeps through the communication device in her ear, followed by a prompt from the sensor on Agnes‘ body. It reported: “Master, two people were detected at 5 o’clock southeast.”
Lucille took note of that. However, before she checked it out, she couldn’t be sure whether the two people that had been detected were the kidnappers or the other missing victims.
