Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

"puff……"

With a satisfying sound, Kusakabe opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't make any sound.

so comfy!

This time, Shikimori Feng did not hold back at all and made Kusakabe curl up on the ground and shiver constantly. Even though she herself had already forgotten how many times she had reached the top, she just felt light and warm all over.

His stomach was full of the white tea left by Shikimori Kaede.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at Kusakabe lying limp on the ground, Shikimori Feng ignored him and just stood up calmly and put on his clothes.

After he put on his clothes, he looked at Origami who had been staring at him and smiled.

"You've been watching me for a long time. Are you ashamed of what I did?"

Origami shook her head.

"Elf, I will kill them all. I don't want to be your enemy. I hope you will change your mind."

Shiki Shoufeng was also stunned when he heard this.

He didn’t care about what he did, and didn’t even react when he saw all this. Instead, he showed such hatred when he heard about the elves... ?

This was something Shikimori Kaede had not expected, but he shrugged indifferently and glanced at Kusakabe who slowly straightened up and crawled towards him.

"I'm sorry, maybe you have your reasons. But I have my own ideas. Besides, she has already agreed, hasn't she?"

"Yeah... so can you, torture me some more?"

Kusakabe nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with a desire for more.

Watching this scene, Origami didn't want to talk anymore. She watched Kusakabe, who had completely lost his mind, walk straight to the door, remove the door lock, and walked out.

The moment the door closed, she heard Kusakabe's charming hum to please Shiki Morikaze.

“Little brother…I’m still okay, come on…torture me again~”

Chapter 33 Ratatosk

......

Shi Shoufeng stood there blankly. The empty, bare confinement room in front of him seemed to be silently telling of indifference and loneliness.

The gray and white walls, without any decoration, exude a depressing atmosphere, and even the air is filled with a smell of oldness and isolation.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He was really helpless about this kind of ruthless drama.

"He really doesn't recognize me once he puts on his pants. The world is so fickle..."

He murmured in a low voice, his tone mixed with a hint of self-mockery and helplessness.

Shikimori Kaede rejected Kusakabe's enthusiastic invitation again. When Kusakabe heard the rejection, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes at first, and then she regained her usual calmness and rationality, with a bit more indifference in her expression.

She slowly walked towards the clothes scattered on the ground, bent down to pick them up and put on each piece of clothing carefully.

After getting dressed, she waved her hand lightly, and several well-equipped female warriors immediately came in from outside the door. They pointed their weapons with cold light in their hands at Shiki Morikaze. Under Kusakabe's cold command, Shiki Morikaze was escorted away without mercy. Those cold words fell heavily like a verdict.

"Lock him up until I finish what I'm doing."

This was the last sentence Shi Shoufeng heard before he was taken away.

Then, he found himself in this small room, almost isolated from the world, with nothing in it except a very simple iron bed.

"How can I escape from this damn place..."

He asked himself softly, then fell limply onto the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, thinking through every possible escape plan in his mind.

The "brainwashing technique" mentioned by Kusakabe was like a sword hanging over his heart, making him unable to remain calm.

He was afraid that one day when he woke up, all his memories, beliefs and even personality would be wiped out, and he would end up living in this world like a walking corpse.

Thinking of this, Shi Shoufeng subconsciously looked at the card device, but as expected, there was no reaction.

He smiled bitterly, a look of matter-of-factness flashing in his eyes.

"That's right. There are neither identifiable elves nor targets that the card device can lock onto, so they are naturally useless."

Shiki Shoufeng turned over helplessly, closed his tired eyes, and temporarily put all the troubles behind him.

"Let's rest first. Maybe when night falls, things will get better..."

After murmuring a word, Shiki Shoufeng fell into a deep sleep.

All of this was seen by Kusakabe who was sitting in the office. Looking at Shikimori Kaede who was sleeping soundly, her expression was a little complicated.

Putting everything aside, she is still the captain of the AST combat unit. If this person...really has such ability, then her subordinates wouldn't have made so many unnecessary sacrifices, right?

Besides, it would be a pity to brainwash such a person. That was why she chose to detain him instead of taking him directly for brainwashing.

"Ugh..."

Kusakabe turned off the surveillance screen and rubbed his nose tiredly. The fatigue brought by the madness just now finally began to slowly hit him.

----

"Have you found that guy?"

In a room that looked filled with many sophisticated instruments, a young girl in a crimson military uniform was sitting on a high main seat with her chin in her hand.

Hearing the girl's question, a woman who was operating the instrument turned her chair and looked at the girl, her voice full of fatigue.

"Ah... I think I found it. Commander, do you think it's this person?"

"Hmm? Found it? Play the video."

The woman nodded. She found the image and enlarged it and projected it directly onto the big screen.

What is presented in the picture is the whole process from Shikimori Kaede putting Shiori into the card until she was taken away by Origami.

"..."

After watching the whole process, the girl was silent for a while before she spoke in disbelief.

"He... put my sister into the card, and then carried the cannonball to rescue the 'princess'?"

The commander the woman was referring to was Gokawa Shiori's sister, Gokawa Kotori.

She seemed a little surprised by all the messiness, but judging from her expression, it didn't mean she couldn't accept it.

"It seems to be true, Commander."

"Tsk...!"

Kotori let out an impatient sigh and stomped on the instep of a man who had been standing next to her in a military posture.

"hiss!!!"

The man immediately let out a painful gasp.

"Do I need you to tell me something as meaningless as this?"

Qin Li shook her head helplessly.

"Kannazuki, that guy was taken away by AST, right?"

"Yes...that's right, Commander."

The man called Kamiyazuki stomped his feet twice and then resumed his standard military posture.

“What a hassle…”

Kotori muttered something and then looked at Kannazuki.

"It looks like that guy was taken back to the AST unit. I need a detailed map of the unit and possibly the location where he's being held."

"Commander, may I ask what you want these for?"

Kanbutsuki looked at Kotori with a serious expression.

"What else can you do?"

Kotori pointed to the screen where the video was playing.

"Can't you see what just happened? My sister was taken away by that guy as a card. Do you understand what I mean? She has my power in her body, and that guy can subdue and control this power. Isn't this the person our organization needs? If I don't rescue him, do I have to wait for him to be brainwashed and then all our efforts will be wasted?!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Kanbutsuki saluted immediately.

"As the former captain of AST and the current deputy captain of Ratatosk, I guarantee that the mission will be completed perfectly! I will even mark out the rat holes in the AST force for you one by one!"

"roll!!"

Kotori couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Kannazuki again.

Watching Kannazuki obediently drawing the map, Kotori once again dragged her little head to look at the repeating image.

"Shikimori Kaede... What kind of person are you? Are you really trustworthy? Don't let me down..."

After murmuring softly, Kotori looked at the listless woman with big black eyes and said.

"Lingyin, drive the Fraxinus to the location where the positioning system disappeared, and get closer to the AST base first."

"Okay... I got it."

Following Ling Yin's operation, a huge flying ship equipped with a cloaking device began to move slowly in a certain direction above Tiangong City where the "Princess" had just appeared.

Chapter 34: Going with the flow

Late at night, a petite figure in night clothes lurks in the darkness.

Most of the figure was covered by the night suit, and the only two parts exposed were the pair of bright red eyes and the mouth holding a lollipop.

Who else could this person be other than Kotori?

She followed Kanbutsuki's map, passed all the surveillance cameras, and arrived at the door where Shoufeng was imprisoned.

She looked through the gap in the door at Shi Shoufeng lying inside and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, this is a force set up to target elves. They probably didn't expect someone to sneak in..."

After muttering to herself, Kotori took out the password cracker that Lingyin gave her from her bosom and installed it on the combination lock.

“Beep…”

With a slight sound, the heavy door lock opened quietly.

When Kotori pushed open the door and walked in, she was surprised to find that Shikimori Kaede, who had just been sleeping on his side, had sat up and was looking at her vigilantly, with no trace of the daze in his eyes that was still from a dream.

"I didn't expect you to be so alert..."

Kotori said with some surprise.

Hearing this voice, Shi Shoufeng's vigilance was also covered by surprise.

"Kotori?"

"It's not just me."

Kotori curled her lips in disdain, took the lollipop from her mouth and tilted her head towards Shikimori Kaede.

"Why are you still sitting there like an idiot? Come with me. Are you addicted to being locked up?"

Upon hearing this, Shiki Shoufeng shook his head slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"I can't leave..."

"why?"

Shikimori Kaede pointed at Kotori's head with his eyes.

"I'm watching. Your position is a blind spot, but it's a little weird when I move."

Kotori looked up following Shikimorikaze's gaze.

She immediately discovered a very secret camera, and the direction the camera was pointing was exactly where Shi Shoufeng was at the moment.

"Commander, this is just a camera that records images. It doesn't have the function of recording sound."

Reine's voice came from the earphones hanging in Kotori's ears.

"Don't worry, it can't hear our conversation. As long as we're fast enough, I can guarantee to take you away. Just follow me."
