Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Chapter 77 The Savior

Do you regret it?

The girl walking at the front, or more precisely, Rosa, who had already left her teenage years behind, suddenly froze.

Her head, which had been somewhat numb, suddenly trembled.

For some reason, when she heard the question from the strange girl in front of her, her heart suddenly clenched, and the previously barely audible beating became clearer and clearer.

It was as if an old man on his deathbed had returned to his youth, instantly rediscovering the feeling of his younger days.

Rosa only snapped back to reality when her two companions behind her suddenly bumped into her.

This is a strange question.

She didn't know this unfamiliar girl, but the girl suddenly asked her if she regretted it.

Why do you regret something?

My brain, which hasn't been thinking about anything for a long time, is starting to feel rusty.

"Rosa?"

Her companion behind her suddenly looked up at Rosa with a puzzled expression.

"Why have you stopped?"

"Let's hurry up and finish today's experiment as soon as possible."

"I……"

Rosa looked back at her companions, then at Anran.

She was at a loss, and in her nervousness, she didn't even know where to put her hands.

It doesn't seem quite right to drape it directly in front of you, nor does it seem quite right to place it behind you.

Seeing Rosa looking bewildered, Anran felt a pang of sadness rise in her heart once again.

An Ran couldn't help but marvel at how cunning the pirate princess's memories were.

She could have simply kidnapped them, sent them to a different dimension, and then had Juliana and the others explain the whole story to them.

But driven by the memories of the pirate princess, An Ran inexplicably asked that question.

This left An Ran unsure how to face them.

He inherited everything from the pirate princess.

Then this part cannot be completely eliminated.

We still have to face it.

"I'm here to rescue you!" An Ran said after a moment's thought.

what?

The two senior guards, still in a daze, looked up at An Ran blankly.

save?

What do you mean? We don't need to do any experiments today?

Only Rosa, who had been startled awake, stared wide-eyed at An Ran.

"real……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Rosa bit her tongue, the pain making her swallow her words.

No way!

Rosa realized she had almost made a big mistake.

This could be a trap set by the other party.

Good-looking people are not necessarily kind people. If you easily trust them, you will surely fall into cruel torment.

Rosa took a step back and covered her head with her hands.

it hurts.

Not just his mind, but his entire body felt as if he had returned to the time when he first arrived at this prison.

He was subjected to beatings, torture, and all sorts of cruel punishments.

She had been asked before if she wanted to go out.

When she answered yes, she was met with double the punishment.

Even though she had reached the level of a master in this dark and hopeless world, she still found it difficult to bear.

Moreover, so much time has passed that most of his strength has already been destroyed.

"Are you OK?"

Anran stared in astonishment at Rosa, who was shaking her head repeatedly.

As soon as she reached out her hand, Rosa immediately took a step back in terror, and the other two people followed her directly into the prison.

"..."

An Ran slowly lowered her hand.

She was absolutely certain that her image had nothing to do with horror; someone with 11 points of charm would stand out in a crowd.

But they were frightened by her.

The fault certainly doesn't lie with her, but with the world!

Anran looked at the terrified Rosa.

He was wearing a common prison uniform, but it was covered with dark red marks. Near his wrists and ankles, the threads of the uniform were frayed, revealing the cold machinery hidden inside.

Reconnaissance Techniques

【Spirit-Suppressing Ring】

A light red-grade sealing item.

It can seal the wearer's power.

Looking at Rosa's condition, An Ran didn't pay much attention at first, since prisoners couldn't possibly live very comfortably.

[Weakness], [Corrosion], [Spirit Blockage].

These negative effects are relatively normal, but the effects of [Depletion] (health points constantly drop), [Mental Sting] (stimulates the mind every once in a while), and [Devour] (parasites that devour the body are present in the body) are quite severe.

There's also a toxin that keeps you perpetually hungry, and a debuff that makes your body as cold as ice after nightfall, because everyone is so cold that you can't even huddle together for warmth.

"This situation may have lasted for nine years."

An Ran suddenly thought of this.

After the collapse of the Higanbana Pirate Crew, most of its members escaped in the chaos. Some were captured by the Royal Knights, while others joined the Royal Knights with Eresh.

The extremely high level of favorability basically rules out the possibility that Rosa and her group are traitors.

In other words, they could have chosen to join the Royal Knights, but for some reason they did not, preferring to endure immense suffering.

No matter how scared or numb they were, they did not surrender.

Whatever the reason, it deserves our respect and admiration.

If it were her, she might have voted decisively.

An Ran did not hesitate any longer.

She reached out and decisively grabbed Rosa's right wrist as Rosa tried to avoid her.

"Relax, I really am here to rescue you!"

An Ran gently pried Rosa's hand off her head.

He pulled me very forcefully in front of him.

"Ah..."

The other two senior guards were locked in a corner.

So this is where today's experiment was conducted?

They dared not think about it too much, because it gave them a headache.

"Don't be afraid."

Anran felt the vibration coming from Rosa's hand and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible.

It's rather unnatural to ask someone as strong-willed as her to do something like this.

But that's not a problem.

I can quickly get the hang of anything I do.

Once Rosa is freed from her restraints, the other two will trust her. Once this problem is solved, rescuing the others will be much easier.

drop by drop...

Just then, Irene's reminder came again.

After rescuing the people on the upper level, immediately set off from the right side and enter the giant roulette wheel to reach the lower level of the prison.

"I see."

An Ran gave a brief reply and then ignored Ai Leixi.

She still has things to do!

Rosa has given up resisting.

She is currently unable to use her power, and even if she could, it would be unrealistic to expect her to resist the Royal Knights here.

Since we can't resist, we can only silently endure it.

In this hellish world, even suicide is unattainable.
