I never upgrade

Chapter 8: Whether it's a blessing or a curse is hard to say.

Xu Lun continued:

"So I decided to hand over this bracelet to those shadowy figures."

However, I simply couldn't remove it myself.

So I could only stretch out my hand and let the shadowy figures take it themselves.

The woman subconsciously held her breath; just hearing those words and imagining the scene made her tense.

"One of the dark figures walked towards me...no...that's not right..."

It stood still, stretching out its hand, which could extend infinitely. At first, its movements were slow, but as it got closer to me, it suddenly accelerated!

The woman was startled and almost dropped the document on her lap.

Luckily, I reacted quickly and managed to grab it before it fell.

Looking at Xu Lun on the other side, he was still immersed in his own memories and did not notice this awkward scene.

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Goodness, she hadn't expected this man to have a talent for telling horror stories.

"The dark figure grabbed my arm, and then the other dark figures swarmed forward and grabbed my arms as well."

Just then, the bracelet lit up again, not with a breathing light, but with a very strong, dazzling light.

And the light wasn't blue, but purple, giving the impression of a flashbang, a sudden burst of light.

Then I couldn't see anything anymore.

Xu Lun finished speaking, omitting the part about his injury.

Since the woman said that she was perfectly healthy when she discovered it, it's better to avoid trouble and not bring it up again.

After all, I am just an ordinary person and cannot bear so many bizarre experiences.

Moreover, this bracelet is currently bound to me and I can't take it off at all. If the other party thinks this bracelet is very magical, they might even use me for research.

In that case, I'm afraid I really won't be able to leave for a while.

unless...

My injured arm was actually healed by this so-called "Management Bureau".

What the woman just said was a test of himself.

Even so, Xu Lun said that his vision went black and he lost consciousness, and he didn't know anything after that, which didn't seem to have any flaws.

If the other party really cured you secretly without telling you the truth, then you should play along, pretend you don't know, and see what the other party is up to.

Xu Lun vaguely remembers that his entire forearm was gone at the time, and he didn't know where the bracelet had gone.

If the Bureau of Management really cured him, how do you explain that he's still wearing the bracelet on his wrist?

Xu Lun dared not think any further; the situation was far too complex, rife with conspiracies...

At the same time, the woman opposite suddenly stood up, packed her things, and seemed to be preparing to leave.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

The information you provided will be very helpful to our subsequent investigation.

I will organize the content of this conversation and report it to the leader, and then we will hold a meeting to discuss it.

I'll come back and tell you the specific conclusions later.

You must be hungry. I'll have someone bring you some good food later.

I'm leaving now. You've just woken up, so you should get plenty of rest.

The mysterious woman spoke as she walked towards the door.

But just then, Xu Lun called out to her:

"Please wait a moment, I have another question."

The woman stopped and turned to look at him.

Xu Lun raised his arm and showed off the bracelet.

"Could you please take this off? I really don't want to wear it anymore; it feels like I'm wearing handcuffs."

The woman smiled and said calmly:

"Let's wait a little longer. You've only just woken up, and you're not in the right state, both physically and mentally. You need some time to recover."

If we take action now and rashly remove the bracelet, it could very likely have some negative effects on you.

This is something we don't want to see either, and we hope you can understand.

Xu Lun nodded, saying nothing more, but he already had a general idea in his mind:

This bracelet probably doesn't belong to them, and they don't know how to remove it.

The woman had previously claimed that she was perfectly healthy, but now she is refusing to take off the bracelet, citing poor physical and mental condition.

There was a vague feeling that they were making excuses.

It's clear that even they can't guarantee what the consequences would be if the bracelet were forcibly removed.

As a result, Xu Lun gave up the idea.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Seeing the woman reach the door, Xu Lun seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke again:

"Um... could I ask where my phone is? Also, how much time has passed since I lost consciousness?"

The woman glanced back at him, thought for a moment, and said:

"Your phone is here with us, being kept as your personal belongings. We can give it to you later along with your food."

But as I mentioned before, that unusual energy fluctuation caused problems for all the nearby electrical equipment.

Your phone is no exception.

In fact, your phone can't even turn on now; like those cameras, it's probably completely ruined.

But don't worry, it's yours, and I'll still give it to you.

Furthermore, three days have passed since we discovered you.

After the woman finished speaking, she pressed the switch on the wall to turn off the main light in the room, and then turned on the night light mode.

The surrounding environment quickly darkened, but several strips of lights emitting a warm yellow glow were still scattered throughout the room.

At this moment, Xu Lun spoke again:

"Please wait a minute, one last question, really."

The woman was about to press the door open button, but when she heard the other person calling her, she had to stop.

"What's wrong now?"

The woman smiled helplessly.

Xu Lun felt a little embarrassed, but still forced himself to say:

"Excuse me, may I know your surname?"

The woman paused slightly upon hearing this, then smiled and said:

"My surname is Han, and my name is Han Xinwan."

After saying that, she pressed the door open button.

As the door slid open, she quickly turned to the side and slipped out before it was fully open.

Immediately afterwards, the door closed quickly behind her.

Xu Lun was left alone in the room.

It suddenly became quiet.

He gazed at the vast expanse of stars and sea outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Even without the restraint of this bracelet, where can I escape to now?

...

at the same time.

Outside.

Only after the door closed behind her did Han Xinwan finally feel relieved.

She leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
