Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

Before Arturo could figure out what was going on, Lu Shang saw through the rearview mirror that Arturo had slumped onto the seat.

"Don't worry, it's not the water. I want you to pass out. Do I need to give you something?"

"But luckily, Tutu, you listened to me and fastened your seat belt, otherwise you would have fallen headfirst...without any cushion, and your head would have hit the ground directly."

Lu Shang clicked his tongue twice, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards an empty alley.

... ... ...

... ...

...

Tick, tick, tick.

"Well..."

The sound of dripping water that came to my ears was consistent with the stereotype of a place called a "dungeon".

It was icy cold, yet still had some residual warmth, and it hit the floor, splashing some water.

I don't know if one of the drops fell on the back of her foot, or if her high heels had already disappeared, leaving only her black silk stockings in the small puddle, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Under such circumstances, Arturo, who had been unconscious, finally woke up.

But when she opened her eyes, she found that it was still pitch black.

No...that's not right.

Judging from the feeling on her face, it wasn't that everything in front of her eyes was pitch black, but rather she was blindfolded with something like a blindfold.

When Arturo reached out to take off the blindfold—

Clattering.

His hands seemed to be bound as well, and instead of moving, a series of chain noises were heard.

Arturo tried a few more times and finally succeeded in coming to the conclusion -

Her hands should be raised up and tied with chains.

Then she raised her right leg high like a ballerina, but another chain was put around her right knee, hanging her leg like that.

Only the left leg was still on the ground.

But maybe it was because the ground was uneven or the chain tied her too high, only the tip of her left foot could touch the ground.

It's like the posture of a ballerina dancing the swan dance.

What happened…?

Kidnapping? Rape? Or...

No, Arturo remembered that before she lost consciousness, she seemed to drink the water given to her by the housekeeper?

"..."

"Mr. Butler...?"

"Brother Meng...?"

Arturo called out softly tentatively.

But the only response she got was the sound of chains and her entire body being pulled up suddenly.

"Well..."

In order not to lose his balance, Arturo had to straighten his toes, step on the ground and hold on.

as well as--

"I'm here, what's the matter, my Miss Arturo."

And Lu Shang's voice rang in her ears.

And the word "my" in the words "My Miss Arturo" was emphasized extremely heavily by Lu Shang.

159. Can Arturo, who has nothing inside, be affected by other emotions?

No need to guess.

When Lu Shang showed a completely different attitude from before, and was almost fanatical about something, Arturo knew that her Originium skills must be working.

She is a mirror, reflecting the most real desire in Lu Shang's heart.

That's why she is here, and that's why Lu Shang put the collar on her personally.

"My Miss Arturo...?"

Arturo muttered.

Of course, she heard the key point of Lu Shang's words.

So she was afraid, she was trembling, she was terrified, and she wrote these emotions on her face: "Meng...Brother...? It was you who tied me here? Why did you do this...?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'm just following my heart." Lu Shang's words reached her ears.

"My true feelings...Brother Meng, have you always wanted to treat me like this? But aren't you my housekeeper?" Arturo asked again.

"Miss, are you confused after sleeping? A few years ago, you came to me, a mercenary, and asked me to accompany you to find out the meaning of the word "dream" in the letter."

Lu Shang added the settings and described the world view of this script: "Mercenaries would accept missions simply because the rewards are good, but I am the only one who waived the bill for you, Miss, and even served as your housekeeper dutifully. Miss, do you know why?"

"W-why...?"

"Because you are so beautiful and white-skinned, I wanted to push you onto the bed the moment I saw you."

"Brother Meng, have you always viewed me this way? Are all the times we've spent together over the past few years fake?"

"Ah, of course. I have waited for so many years, and finally you are ripe, young lady."

"Well..."

"Look at this pair of beautiful legs. They are so nice. They are well-trained. I can play with them for a year. They are really good."

With the eyes covered, the vision is destroyed, and naturally the other four senses are strengthened.

Although it cannot be seen, the touch of the fingertips moving and rubbing is magnified one to one, giving Arturo the most intuitive feeling.

Not only were his hands chained, but his right leg was also tied and pulled upwards, so Arturo had nowhere to hide.

She could only use her toes to keep her balance on the floor, and that was her limit.

A weak and helpless girl, a man who reveals his true nature, a man bound by chains, and the man who wants to taste the appetizer of this young girl.

Such an erotic scene happened in this unknown dungeon.

Fear, terror, helplessness, and despair after being betrayed by the person closest to him were clearly revealed on Arturo's face.

"But that bad woman is clearly laughing."

"The corners of the mouth can't be pressed down. It's harder to suppress than an AK47."

Suddenly, Lu Shang spoke softly, causing Arturo's upturned mouth corners to freeze.

Lu Shang seemed to have pierced through her heart. While feeling the silky touch of his fingertips, he spoke lightly:

"Miss Arturo, have you really forgotten? The Witch King of Leitania once commented on you so harshly—"

“Nothing”

"Arturo, you compare yourself to a mirror, but you are more like an empty bottle with nothing inside."

"You and your brother Federico are like two extremes."

Federico, perhaps more people are more familiar with the name "The Undertaker".

Before the plot of "My Guide", everyone thought that the Archangels were the oddities in Shakota, and that group of angels should be as serious as the Undertaker.

But after the plot of "My Guide", everyone discovered that the Undertaker was actually the weirdo.

However, the Undertaker only looks expressionless and a ruthless person who doesn't talk much, but the Undertaker actually has quite rich inner emotions.

But what about Arturo?

Arturo can laugh, cry, and appear to be very emotional, like a bad woman who can play with a little virgin.

But in fact, these expressions were all pretended by Arturo, and there was nothing in her heart.

Just like the dead silent audience in the opera house did not scare Arturo, because Arturo had no such emotion.

"She has no emotions, no feelings, no joy or sorrow."

"So Miss Arturo? The fear, terror and desperation you're showing right now - are you having fun?"

Arturo: “…”

Gradually, gradually, the corners of Arturo's mouth, which were originally upturned, slowly smoothed out.

The emotions that were originally displayed turned into expressionlessness.

"who are you?"

Arturo's disguise was exposed, but she was not angry at all - because she had no such emotion.

But perhaps because he was blind, Arturo's tone was a little cold.

"Of course it's your housekeeper." Lu Shang continued to act out his character: "My dear Miss Arturo."

"..."

Arturo was silent for a long time before he suddenly smiled: "Is that so? Then my dear butler brother, since you know me so well, why... do you still want to play such a scene with me?"

"It's a good thing I covered your eyes, Miss Arturo. Otherwise, you would look quite creepy with your face full of smiles but no smile in your eyes."

I've already said that Arturo has nothing inside, do you really expect her to smile at you?

So Lu Shang spoke again:

"I'm just curious. In the Witch King's review, Arturo, you are an empty bottle, and other people's emotions will flow to you to fill the void in your heart."

"And if the emotions of others are rich enough, rich enough to fill up an empty bottle like yours, Arturo, then you will compose a song with these emotions and give it back to the other person."

"Whether others will thank you is another matter."

"So, I'm curious, to what extent can an empty bottle like yours, Arturo, be filled? If it's not emotion, but other richer emotions, can they also fill you up?"

Arturo did not answer.

Because after she lost her sight, she also successfully became unable to speak.

Judging from the way it was put on, and the shape and touch when bitten by the teeth... Lu Shang probably stuffed a gag or a ball gag into her again?

"With nothing in your heart, Miss Arturo, I'm afraid you won't be able to produce something like the stars, right?"

"But what if I have it now?"

beep.

It sounds like a button being pressed.

buzzing-

It sounded like some small toy was buzzing.

"Then I am looking forward to whether these emotions generated by me can fill up your empty bottle, Miss Arturo?"

160. Zofia: You evil bastard, can you please not hypnotize only me every time? !

"But I'm not a devil. I'll leave this little remote control here with you."

"Okay, here it is, remember?"

The eyes cannot see and the mouth cannot speak.

But Arturo could clearly hear the buzzing sound, and -

Lu Shang took a small rubber band and tied the small remote control to Arturo's wrist.

Her hands were chained and out of reach, but her right leg was simply hanging by the chain.

So she can raise her legs high like a ballerina, or do a one-legged split, and use her toes to press the button on the small remote control to stop the movement.
