Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Don’t Believe
"Transformation System? ..." Han Jiaojiao looked at Long Yueze suspiciously.
People loved to group together, and Superpower Users preferred associating with other Superpower Users. As an ordinary person, she naturally interacted more with ordinary people, and the few Superpower Users she knew were the common Enhancement Type. The less common Transformation System, she had never encountered before.
Seeing that she seemed less on guard against him, Long Yueze, motivated by some emotion, perhaps wanting to test once more if Han Jiaojiao had truly lost her memory, said, "Yes, I can transform into anyone. Would you like to see?"
Before Han Jiaojiao could respond, his ability started to manifest, and his face swiftly transformed into Han Yi’s face, even successfully mimicking the voice.
He turned his head, looking directly at Han Jiaojiao, "Do you ... like it?"
—Pop.
A crisp sound, a ballpoint pen fell to the ground, and then rolled away.
Han Jiaojiao stared blankly at the person in front of her, both familiar and strange, her mind a complete blank. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Her reaction once again caught Long Yueze by surprise.
Logically, if she had amnesia and no longer remembered Han Yi, she would look at this face with confusion. Conversely, if she hadn’t lost her memory, seeing him transform into her brother’s appearance, she should have shown disgust or anger.
Yet, at this moment, Han Jiaojiao seemed to be greatly shocked, her beautiful eyes ... filled with deep emotions, she gazed at him fixedly until tears welled up in her eyes, and then, they fell in large drops ...
Being stared at like this by her, Long Yueze felt somewhat choked up and strange.
He awkwardly conjured up a smile, " ... why are you crying ..."
Han Jiaojiao, thinking he was going to change back, hurriedly pressed her hands on his shoulders, urgently saying, "Let me look a little longer ..."
Her voice was soft, slightly hoarse, like a feather sweeping across the heart, ticklish.
Throughout his life, Long Yueze had been with many women, yet he had never felt as embarrassed as he did at this moment.
Yes, embarrassed.
Suddenly being gazed at with such deep affection by a young girl was really a bit ... overwhelming.
It was a pity, such deep affection, yet it belonged to another person.
Thinking this, a trace of sourness slowly welled up in his heart, he was genuinely developing feelings for Han Jiaojiao, perhaps not deep love, but affection and possessiveness were definitely not lacking.
Han Jiaojiao’s hand gently touched his face, tracing his brows and eyes bit by bit, her eyes filled with tears, the corners of her mouth smiling as she praised, "It’s so real, exactly the same ..."
"Although I don’t know how you managed this, but ... I still want to thank you ..." Han Jiaojiao’s eyes seemed to see through him to another person, her expression infatuated like someone lost in a dream, her voice almost a whisper, "It’s been too long ... too long ... since I’ve seen this face ... Thank you."
Long Yueze smiled faintly, thinking to himself, it’s becoming more interesting ...
He felt Han Jiaojiao’s memory was strange, as if parts were missing, yet as if parts were added, which made him very cautious when talking to her, careful not to say the wrong thing and cause her suspicion.
Long Yueze inwardly cursed Cao Qi a few times, then with a benevolent look said to Han Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you should believe me now, right?"
Although the ballpoint pen was no longer against him, his gun was still in Han Jiaojiao’s hand.
Han Jiaojiao’s face still showed traces of tears, but her eyes had regained their clarity. She calmly said, "Let’s talk about this matter after we get out. Now, transform into this person on the ground, then take me out of here."
Long Yueze was stunned for a moment. Transform into Cao Qi? Right ... she probably thought Cao Qi was in charge here.
Long Yueze was very curious about what kind of changes had occurred in Han Jiaojiao’s memory, and after leaving, where she would go. Would she go to find Han Yi?
To gain Han Jiaojiao’s trust, Long Yueze did as she instructed. He transformed into the appearance of Cao Qi and led Han Jiaojiao out of the room.
When Han Jiaojiao saw the rows of glass doors and transparent small rooms outside, her expression froze in place for a while before she silently followed Long Yueze.
This was a large factory on the outskirts that had been repurposed in this manner...
The armed guards outside saw her and Long Yueze emerge without suspicion, and Long Yueze, assuming the identity of Cao Qi, went to negotiate with them.
Han Jiaojiao followed behind, but stopped when she passed by a glass room. Inside, a woman curled up in the corner, and although the factory was heated, the temperature was not warm enough, and she still felt cold.
Han Jiaojiao recognized her—it was Su Xue.
This was different from her memory... Su Xue looked thin and haggard, her body covered in blue and purple bruises, as if she had been abused and beaten.
In her recollection, Su Xue should have been within the Beicheng Base at this time, not yet expelled from the Special Training Team. Why... had she been captured here? Moreover, from the mixture of new and old injuries on her body, it seemed she had been captured for quite some time.
Some clients with unique tastes, having purchased women from here, would torment them half to death before returning them. Those returned women would continue to stay in the factory, waiting for their next owner to select them.
After speaking with his subordinate, Long Yueze turned around and saw Han Jiaojiao staring blankly in front of a glass door.
"I had them arrange a vehicle for us. It will take a long time to return to the base from here, and we’ll need some water and food. I also had them prepare guns and ammunition. Do you lack anything else for the journey?" Long Yueze asked her patiently. Of course, he would not tell Han Jiaojiao that he had not only prepared food and weapons but also had placed a communicator, a GPS, and a sufficient number of anesthesia needles in the vehicle...
Han Jiaojiao looked at Long Yueze with a clear gaze and replied, "That’s enough for now."
Her expression was too calm, which actually made Long Yueze somewhat uneasy. He did not know... what she was thinking now...
Unfortunately, the best Mental Control Superpower User by his side had been killed by Han Jiaojiao, and another Superpower User capable of Mental Hypnosis had also had her neck broken by Han Jiaojiao just earlier. Thus, he was unable to know what she was thinking or decipher her intentions.
The two walked out of the factory. The massive iron gate opened, and a vast expanse of white filled their view. Han Jiaojiao had a moment of distraction.
...It really was the Ice Age...
Long Yueze walked to the car and noticed Han Jiaojiao staring blankly at the snow-covered ground outside.
"Get in the car. It’s heated inside," Long Yueze said as he opened the car door for her.
Han Jiaojiao snapped back to reality and looked at Long Yueze before suddenly asking, "Tell me today’s date."
"...the 23rd. Why?"
"Which year, which month?" Han Jiaojiao continued to question him.
Long Yueze paused for a moment, then told her the date.
Han Jiaojiao listened, seemed stunned for a moment, and then got into the car without saying a word.
The snow vehicle was quite high. Long Yueze had reached out his hand to help her up, but Han Jiaojiao ignored the offered hand and used the car door to pull herself up instead.
Long Yueze withdrew his hand and seated himself in the driver’s seat, thinking to himself: She still doesn’t trust me.
He tried to initiate a conversation with Han Jiaojiao, "We need to leave quickly. They will soon discover Cao Qi’s body and then they will come after us... It’s still a long way from Chujiang Base. If all goes well, we should arrive before nightfall, otherwise, we’ll have to spend the night in the car..."
