Chapter 1198

Just as Su Xiao left the basement interrogation room, Yierduo, who was handcuffed to the X-shaped metal frame, began to let her imagination run wild. She didn't know how Su Xiao had learned about her and her master's situation, even calling out her name, which meant Su Xiao was definitely not bluffing.

Yierduo's first reaction was that there was a traitor within their Necromancer race, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't think of anyone who might betray them. But Yierduo was not stupid; she also considered another possibility, which was that Su Xiao had obtained their intelligence.

Compared to these, Yierduo had something more important: finding a way to escape. She looked around the room and found no useful tools. As for the weapons or tools she carried, except for her clothes which hadn't been taken away, everything else was placed on an iron table not far away.

Yierduo began to observe the X-shaped metal frame that bound her. The metal frame did not completely bind her arms; her arms could move freely, but on her shoulders, chest, waist, legs, and ankles, there were metal rings. These metal rings were integrated with the X-shaped metal frame and were all made of special metal, which was not something Yierduo could break free from.

In fact, there were also metal rings at Yierduo's wrists, but her hands were not handcuffed. This seemed to be Su Xiao being too careless, or perhaps too confident.

Would Su Xiao make such a low-level mistake? Of course not. A good show was about to be staged.

At the entrance of the basement interrogation room, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang put away the tablet in its paws. It had just reviewed a movie about pirates, and there was a certain scene it "really liked."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shook its head, and a bunch of keys hanging around its neck jingled. Looking at the shape and size of the keys, these seemed to be the keys to open the X-shaped metal frame.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang raised its front paws and pushed open the door to the basement interrogation room. It seemed to have smelled some kind of scent, and it was "attracted" to the basement interrogation room by this scent.

With a creak, the metal door was pushed open. Yierduo's body in the basement interrogation room tensed, her breathing slightly rapid.

But soon Yierduo's expression relaxed a bit, because it was just a dog walking into the interrogation room, although Yierduo had never seen a dog like this before.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nose twitched; it seemed to be attracted by some scent in the basement interrogation room, and the source of that scent was on Yierduo, so it gradually approached her.

At first, Yierduo was a little nervous because she didn't know if this dog was aggressive. If it were aggressive, she would be in danger; the space for her arms to move was very limited. If this dog bit her legs, she would have no way to stop it.

But Yierduo soon discovered that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was actually not aggressive, just purely attracted by some scent.

"Come... here."

Yierduo's human language was more fluent. She had specifically studied human language, not out of curiosity about human culture, but because this was the tactical language of the Necromancers. The higher the status in the Necromancer race, the more they were required to be proficient in human language. Humans were the same; soldiers understood simple Necromancer language, and the higher the rank, the stricter the requirements for Necromancer language.

After a short period of adaptation, Yierduo's human language gradually became proficient.

Hearing Yierduo speak, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked up.

With a "ding," metal collided, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's action of looking up revealed the bunch of keys in front of its neck.

Yierduo's gaze fixed on the bunch of keys, her mouth gradually opening slightly. Judging by the size and material of the keys, these were very likely the keys to open the X-shaped metal frame. If she could unlock the restraints, Yierduo had a high chance of escaping.

Yierduo's initial feeling was disbelief, but after thinking about how this dog could freely enter and exit the basement, Yierduo thought of a possibility: this dog should be the pet of that Iron Hand. Like that murderous guy, no one should dare to contact him, so a dog would be easier to gain his trust, and it could also serve as a watchdog.

As for why the keys to freedom were hanging on a dog's neck, Yierduo didn't understand, but in her cognition, Su Xiao was a pervert + monster, so nothing he did was strange.

"Doggy, come here."

Yierduo clapped her hands, trying her best to keep her expression kind so as not to scare the other party.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took a step forward. It looked up at Yierduo, and the bunch of keys on its neck was very close to Yierduo. Yierduo's right arm reached forward, and her fingertips were only 2 centimeters away from the keys. Freedom... was within reach.

"Closer... a little!"

Yierduo, who was reaching out with all her might, clearly began to look unkind, her teeth clicking together.

Yierduo's expression seemed to scare Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, sitting on the ground, scooted backward, retreating about a centimeter.

"No, no, no, doggy, be good, don't be afraid, come closer."

Veins bulged on Yierduo's palms. She was only 3 centimeters away from freedom. Although she wasn't sure if the keys could open the X-shaped metal frame, it was well worth a try.

After Yierduo's expression became kinder, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang moved closer. Yierduo's fingertips successfully touched one of the keys, and she couldn't help but smile.

Ding~

Yierduo's fingernails brushed against the metal key. The cold touch of metal against her fingertips confirmed that she was still alive, and this was not a nightmare, but something real happening.

"Good doggy, come closer, I'll give you candy later..."

Now Yierduo could only touch the metal key with her fingertips; she couldn't get the bunch of keys at all.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, sitting on the ground, yawned. Its gaze seemed to lack high intelligence, but in reality, this was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's deliberate disguise.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was not teasing Yierduo, but gradually wearing down her willpower, letting her constantly hover between "freedom" and "cage," experiencing the ups and downs of life about once every half minute.

Originally, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang thought this was a very boring mission, but after practicing it, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang found that it was too damn interesting and very exciting.

You must know that Yierduo's combat strength was not weak. If she caught Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would definitely not have a good time. It wouldn't die, after all, Yierduo had already been beaten half to death by Su Xiao, but if it were caught by Yierduo's hands, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would definitely experience a major up and down in its dog life.

This feeling of frantically testing on the edge of death completely activated Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's silly nature. It could be said that death is like the wind, always by the dog's side.

"You damn dog, come closer to me."

When Yierduo's fingertips brushed against the key for the thirtieth time, her heart began to collapse. Anxiety, frustration, longing, tension, and other emotions surrounded Yierduo. Without her knowing, her willpower was gradually worn away.

Hearing Yierduo scold it, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang scooted backward again.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, you are a good dog, no, you are humanity's most loyal partner. You know, we Necromancers also keep dogs, so we are not enemies. Come closer, yes, that's it."

Hearing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang scooted forward again.

Yierduo's mouth opened and closed. She had always had a doubt in her heart: could this dog really understand what she was saying? This made her have an absurd thought: this dog seemed to be teasing her, teasing her with the keys around its neck.
