Garden of Eden || Apocalypse Paradise #2 [Complete]

122: The Match Begins, and Long Ahtao

Gong Daoyi hummed a quick and interesting tune with a bright quality like that of flowing spring water, which resonated with his overall image. Though it sounded nice, Lei Ming couldn't help interrupting him and asking, "What if they did something to that woman? She is one of us..."

The humming stopped, and Gong Daoyi waved his hands with a relaxed expression. "Why are you worried? If you were the chief of police, would you think this is a major event?"

Without the slightest interest in hearing what Lei Ming had to say, Gong Daoyi raised his [Girlfriend's Crazy Suspicion] and started scanning the entire room with it. Lei Ming was defeated by his attitude and didn't say anything else. In the end, he followed Gong Daoyi around the room while he considered those words with knitted brows.

If he thought carefully about it, from the perspective of the chief of police, it was just a small incident in which a posthuman came out of her capsule because it was not shut tightly, and nobody escaped. Strictly speaking, the issue with the night security guard willfully neglecting his duty and letting people into the arena was a bigger problem...

"But..." After thinking for a while, Lei Ming felt that if they didn't go back and look, he would continue feeling uneasy. However, before he could phrase his sentence, the item in Gong Daoyi's hand suddenly made a sound that stole his attention.

[Girlfriend's Crazy Suspicion]

Besides every secretive man with suspicious behaviors, there would be something like this! Women naturally become like Sherlock Holmes when things involve their love lives, finding all sorts of almost undetectable clues. The essence of this extraordinary ability has been extracted to create the best tool to search for Special Items within a small range.

PS: Unfortunately, just as its name suggests, this item may be inaccurate sometimes. It can also be deceived by 'sweet talk,' so it is not 100% reliable.

"Ah, this strand of hair isn't mine. My hair is maroon."

Gong Daoyi stopped in front of a wall once he heard that emotional female voice. He looked closer and quickly smiled.

Meanwhile, the chief of police, Aliba, was blissfully unaware that the recent batch of confiscated Special Items would be stolen soon, despite being convinced that he had hidden them extremely well.

Things turned out the way Gong Daoyi predicted. Although Aliba was furious, he didn't think much of the situation, especially after he heard the words from the female posthuman.

"I already declared that I'm joining this tournament on my own volition. I haven't changed my mind. So, I won't run away," Lin Sanjiu yelled as she held her slightly trembling clenched fists by her side. She bent down and hauled the security guard's corpse by its leg and threw it toward the electric net. Then, she yelled out again, "If it weren't for this man, we wouldn't be outside our capsules. Please don't make things difficult for these girls. I will put them back in their capsules, and I will enter my own capsule. That should work for you, right?"

Aliba remained fixated on the woman, his raised brows slightly revealing his slight astonishment. But before he could respond, the female posthuman with short hair took action. She placed each of the women who were now properly clothed back into their respective capsules one by one. Finally, she went back into her own capsule and closed the door.

Subsequently, the clicking sound of the automatic locks on the doors reverberated through the empty arena. Once the doors were secured, it was practically impossible for any of them to force open the capsule from the inside by brute force. The Tournament Committee had already verified this through experiments done with male posthuman subjects. Once he was sure that there were no posthumans in the capsule containment area, he commanded his men emotionlessly, "Go in and retrieve those dead bodies."
