Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

In fact, whatever the reason for the kingdom's retreat, and since that wasn't Mo Yueya's original purpose, he just wanted to use it to bring up other issues.

"Why are you asking this?" Zanaba frowned.

"Ah, sorry, this is not a question I should ask, is it?" Mo Yueya had never expected Zanoba to answer this question.

"It's not that it's impossible, but I'm not entirely sure why." Zanaba pondered what the best course of action would be.

"Oh, right," Mo Yueya asked, voicing her most pressing question, "I heard someone brought back a prisoner? Why only one?"

"Hey? You little rascal?" Zanaba was a bit annoyed. "Why so many questions? Alright, alright, judging from your expression, you probably can't play seriously with me. So, what do you want to ask?"

Zanaba simply decided not to play anymore. He came here to play chess for leisure, and if his opponent couldn't take it seriously, what was the point of playing? Besides, judging from Mo Yueya's appearance, it seemed that they couldn't continue without answering his questions.

"Can I really ask?" Mo Yueya asked tentatively.

"Tch, I didn't expect you to be such a gossip, kid?" Zanaba leaned back on the sofa with his arms crossed. "I don't think these kids on the ship can be indifferent to this kind of thing. Ask away, the answer depends on the question."

"That's all I wanted to ask about," Mo Yueya said with an awkward smile. "Could you tell me more about it if you could?"

This is the most crucial point: Mo Yueya needs to find out who this prisoner is before deciding how to proceed with the plan. If this person is insignificant, it doesn't matter if they are simply abandoned.

"Hmm? About the prisoners?" Zanaba gave a knowing smile. "I didn't realize you were such a quiet pervert?"

"...Ha, ha?"

This answer caught Mo Yueya completely off guard. What did "silent pervert" mean? Why did things turn out this way? Mo Yueya was completely baffled, but the other party had revealed a very wicked smile, so it was better to play along and acquiesce at this point.

However, it's important to remain silent about the issue of a silent pervert, but fortunately, Zanoba took the initiative to bring up the topic himself.

“Yes, one of our Punishers brought back a prisoner,” Zanoba recalled. “But I only saw her once. I remember she was a dragon girl… pink hair, quite pretty. I just didn’t expect the news to spread so far.”

"It's actually a woman...?" For some reason, that person immediately came to mind.

“Yes, she’s a pretty young girl,” Zanoba said, puzzled. “I heard she was one of the people who drove off our sweeping team last time. She even took on two of our Punishers by herself. Hey, you tell me, a girl who looks delicate and pretty, you’re telling me she took on two of our Punishers by herself? I don’t believe it.”

In the past, Mo Yueya wouldn't have believed what he heard, but things were different now. He already had a clue about the identity of the captured prisoner, and this was the one he couldn't ignore.

A cherry blossom-colored hair, a dragon girl, fighting alone against two divine punishers—this was clearly impossible; he could only think of that one person.

The Dragon King of Time and Space - Reason.

How she was brought back remains unknown.

But at least now, Mo Yueya knows what to do.

Was Chapter 44... a little too easy?

It has now been determined who the captured prisoner was: the Time-Space Dragon King, Li, a vital fighting force of the Principality.

The reasons and process of her being captured are still unclear, but we have to get her out as soon as possible, and we don't know how she will be treated.

But the most urgent task now is to find her location and make contact with her. Only by getting in touch with her can we better advance the next plan. Since she is here, it also means that it is possible to take the hero with us.

Because that one is the Time-Space Dragon King who controls the power of time and space, teleportation and the like are entirely possible. If we successfully find the hero's location, we can take her with us and leave this place.

With limited resources and manpower, Mo Yueya can only do his best to make all the necessary preparations.

"So, where is this girl now?" Mo Yueya asked curiously. "Can you take me to see her?"

"Hey, are you pushing your luck?" Zanoba smacked Mo Yueya on the head. "Come on, get down now. If you beat me, I'll keep talking to you."

“Okay!” Mo Yueya readily agreed, as this couldn’t be better for him.

Now that Mo Yueya was taking things seriously, Zanaba nodded in satisfaction, and they began to fight, using their chess pieces as weapons.

The "battle" continued into the night. Zanoba's fierce offensive almost overwhelmed Mo Yueya. After struggling to maintain his defenses for a while, he seized an opportunity and turned the tide of the battle, narrowly defeating Zanoba.

Mo Yueya won the "battle," and both of them collapsed onto the sofa, completely exhausted.

"I never imagined it would turn out like this." Zanaba stared at the ceiling with a sense of dejection. "Damn it, why was I so focused on suppressing it first?"

Zanoba reflected on his mistakes. What a formidable opponent! Mo Yueya could clearly sense that his chess skills had become stronger. If they played another game, he might really lose.

Zanobah became so powerful precisely because he constantly learned from his mistakes and overcame them. Mo Yueya seemed to understand somewhat why he had become a 'Ghost,' and even a 'Punisher.'

But why is this Zanoba different from other 'ghosts' or 'punishers'?

Zanoba lacked the brutality, tyranny, and arrogance of those people, and there was nothing strange about him.

Was he hiding it too well, or had he always been like this? Mo Yueya had no way of knowing.

"Ha, so that's why you young people get so excited when it comes to pretty girls." Zanaba shrugged helplessly. "Well, whatever, I'll keep my promise and tell you about that girl..."

So it seems you've misunderstood something... Mo Yueya would never say such a thing, for the sake of the bigger picture, he can only play the role of a silent pervert for now.

Mo Yueya immediately perked up, sat up straight, and pretended to be very concerned. He would also record the following content using magic, as it would be very important.

“As for that girl, she’s staying with us right now.” Zanoba set up the chessboard. “You should know that we have a dedicated living area.”

“Yes, I know.” Mo Yueya nodded; it was something he knew.

“She’s being held in solitary confinement in a room,” Zanobá said with a mysterious smile. “But I won’t say exactly where. I know what you’re up to, but don’t go there, or those two siblings will kill you.”

"Uh……"

The most crucial part was kept secret from him by Zanoba, deliberately maintaining secrecy here. And for some reason, Mo Yueya felt as if he had already been exposed.

He told himself it was just his imagination and continued to pester Zanoba for information.

"Hey, big brother, stop keeping me in suspense." Mo Yueya pressed on, "If you keep me in suspense, I won't be able to sleep tonight. I dream about seeing that girl again."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so you young people are all blinded by lust, huh?" Zanoba smacked him on the head without any politeness. "Don't go, absolutely don't go. If the brother and sister who caught her go crazy, I won't be able to handle them. It's not so bad if the two pairs of brothers and sisters are on the ground one by one."

This is it!

This was the thing Mo Yueya most wanted to know, besides where Li was. He knew that Li had been captured by the brother and sister, who were also known as "Yin and Yang," so it was only natural that Li had been brought under their control.

Here, he also needs to learn as much as possible about the brother and sister, and ideally, find out what the purpose of the "holy sword" they possess is.

"Who are those brother and sister?" Mo Yueya asked, feigning ignorance.

“Who else could it be! It’s the ‘Yin Yang’ pair.” Zanoba shrugged. “They were the ones who got beaten up by that girl last time.”

“Wow, that’s really bad…” Mo Yueya said the truth here.

It's likely that Li is resented by these two siblings, and the reason is clear. It's probably because they remembered what happened last time, and something happened somewhere unknown to Mo Yueya that allowed them to successfully bring Li back.

As for what will happen...

“Yes, those two were bound to do something outrageous.” Zanoba made no attempt to hide anything. “I saw it then. Those two were treating that girl like a toy. After all, those two were practically living sexual desires, stimulating their lust and satisfying their desires in all sorts of bizarre ways. That girl was really pitiful.”

According to Zanoba, Li's situation is now extremely dangerous. The brother and sister are true "ghosts," and although she doesn't know what those eccentric interests are, she will definitely suffer inhuman abuse.

Thinking about it this way, the situation becomes even more urgent. But then again, why would Zanoba say these things? Isn't everything going a little too smoothly?

While thinking about these things, Mo Yueya's gaze inadvertently met Zanoba's. His eyes turned incredibly cold, which startled Mo Yueya so much that he almost went into battle mode.

However, the other party meant no harm; they just suddenly became cold.

What is Zanoba thinking?

At this moment, Zanoba suddenly stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, and then spoke.

"Let's come back the day after tomorrow. I've been feeling pretty lethargic these past two days, it's time to get back into shape."

Chapter 45 I'm sorry, you three.

Now that they know who the captive is, Mo Yueya has no choice but to take action. If they can get Li's help, the next steps will be much easier.

But was it really that smooth?

Mo Yueya sensed something amiss in Zanoba's reaction today, and he realized there was no time for him to hesitate. He had to act now, or things would be really bad if he got caught.

After leaving the entertainment room, Mo Yueya quickly returned to her room and checked all the things she had prepared. Although some things were missing, it didn't matter; they weren't anything important.

Considering Zanoba's reaction today, he has no choice but to contact Ry immediately. Well, that's probably the only way.

Mo Yueya pulled out a large bucket of ink he had hidden under the bed. His next task was to assimilate all the ink into magic and then create the familiars he was best at.

The reason for doing this is that if magic power is used to create familiars directly, the number would probably be insufficient, and the magic power would also be used up, making it impossible to keep one of them assimilated with his own consciousness.

This bucket of ink can be directly converted into familiars instead of magic, saving a lot of magic and allowing for the mass production of familiars. All Mo Yueya needs to do is use magic to interfere with this bucket of ink, causing it to assimilate into magic.

Afterwards, we need to take this large bucket of ink to another location to carry out this work, otherwise we'll easily expose ourselves. The sudden appearance of such a large number of familiars here is clearly bound to cause a disturbance.

So the question is, where do we go to solve this problem?

This room is definitely not an option... If a large number of familiars are released here, and someone witnesses this scene and is traced back here, he will probably be exposed. These eleven Divine Punishers are not so easy to talk to.

Even if Zanoba tried his best... no, that person wouldn't do that, would they?

Having known each other for less than two days, everything about Zanoba felt off to him, but he only noticed the intelligence-related matters. Why was Zanoba so cooperative? Why did he give him that look at the end of the day?

Anxiety and restlessness surfaced in his mind. He could no longer ignore the details of Zanoba's situation. Various speculations began to emerge in his mind, each pointing to the worst possible outcome.

"Hello? Master Mo?"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Mo Yueya was startled and quickly packed her things. Then, she used the familiar placed outside the room to observe the situation outside.

Waiting outside the door were the chess trio: Baroque, Inrode, and Big Yellow.

There is a way.

Mo Yueya pulled out the ink bucket she had put away and drew a magic circle on it. This magic circle was set to activate its magic after a period of time.

He just left it in the middle of the room and then went to open the door for the three of them.

"Ah, Brother Mooncrow, you're here!" Big Yellow said happily. "I didn't see you respond for so long, I thought you weren't here!"

"Hey, Master Mo, didn't we agree on what to do tonight?" Baroque pressed. "Why haven't you come yet after we've been waiting for so long?"

"Sorry, I spent some time with my boss," Mo Yueya said with a wry smile. "As you all know, once someone gets hooked, it's not just a matter of one or two games. Besides, I've been assigned another job, so I probably won't have time to play chess."

After hearing these words, all three showed expressions of disappointment. They were truly perceptive. But they also seemed somewhat unwilling to give up, lingering for a long time.

They're so easy to understand, they've really been a huge help...

Mo Yueya buried his guilt and began his plan.

"How about... you guys help me out?" Mo Yueya asked tentatively. "If we can finish this quickly, I can play chess with you too."

"Really?" Inrode's face was filled with undisguised elation.

"What are we going to do?" Baroque had already rolled up his sleeves and asked what they were going to do.

“Ah, it’s not a difficult task.” Mo Yueya carried the ink bucket out from inside. “It’s physical labor. After Brother Zanaba finished playing chess, he asked me to move this to the warehouse downstairs.”

"Simple!"

Da Huang immediately snatched the ink bucket from Mo Yueya's hand and ran off quickly. To be honest, that thing was really heavy, but he lifted it up so easily...

He stopped after running about ten meters, then placed the ink bucket heavily on the ground and turned around.

"Baroque! Inrode! This one! It's overweight! Come help!"

"That's why you're in such a hurry! What if you break it?"

Baroque muttered a few words of exasperation, then ran over and helped him carry it. Inrode didn't go, because he didn't seem capable of such physical labor.

"Then, let's play chess first." Inrode had already taken out the chessboard.

"Uh...ok."

For some reason, the aura emanating from Yinluo suddenly became comparable to the pressure of a divine punisher, coercing Moyueya to agree with a mysterious force. Is chess really that attractive?

The two of them arrived at the agreed-upon place and began their battle on the chessboard. After a while, Baroque and Big Yellow returned. Mo Yueya confirmed the location of the ink bucket with them, and the two of them put it in a warehouse.

All preparations were complete; now all that was left was to wait for the time to arrive so that Mo Yueya could trigger the magic. For now, he simply needed to pretend he knew nothing and play chess with the three of them.

"Hey, Yinluo, you need to do it like this!" "You're even noisier than Big Yellow!" "Luo! Over here!" "Okay, okay, I know! By the way, can you not shout so loudly in my ear?!"

The three of them played chess noisily as usual. Mo Yueya picked up the mead on the table, took a sip with the "seasoning" in front of her, and thought, "These three have such a good relationship..."

For some reason, he suddenly thought of his companions back in the duchy. He had abruptly separated from the three of them then, and even without seeing their faces, he knew they must be filled with anger.

There will be another chance to meet... I'll explain when that time comes...

He also discovered that in just one day, quite a few people had already made their own chess sets, just like them, and were playing them quite skillfully. At a quick glance, there were at least ten chess sets here alone.

...Chess is probably the strongest.

Chapter 46 Flock of Dark Crows

The middle of the night is the time for routine inspections of the warehouses. They check not only the weapons but also the rations. Although it's true that if rations are lacking, it won't take long for those high-speed warships to arrive, it's still better to check just in case.

"...No problem." The soldier carried a magic stone lantern to illuminate the warehouse.

He checked the entire place, and found that the rations had only been reduced for today, and no one was suspected of stealing or pilfering. After confirming this, he prepared to move on to the next warehouse to continue his inspection.
