Chapter 11 Kidnapper
Chapter 11 Kidnapper
"What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning."
The girl took a carton of milk out of her backpack. Judging from the pink packaging, it was probably strawberry flavored.
She disassembled the straw, put it in her mouth, and said, "Think about it, if someone discovers your most important secret, like your bank card PIN, you definitely can't let them leak it, right?"
Chen Mu's lips twitched slightly:
"A magical girl shouldn't say things like that, right?"
"Yes, yes." The girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then said, "Have you ever seen Spider-Man, Batman, or Superman? Superheroes absolutely cannot reveal their real identities in real life. That's common sense, right? They have to hide their faces under the mask, or they'll get into trouble."
"I'm very tight-lipped." Chen Mu immediately held out his hand: "You can swear, I will absolutely not tell anyone."
"I don't trust you~"
The girl grinned foolishly, milk smeared from the corners of her mouth.
This is troublesome...
Chen Mu immediately had a bad feeling; this girl was probably the type who wouldn't listen to people properly.
Despite this, he still wanted to reason with her: "Magical girls need to hide their identities? I've never heard of such a thing. Aren't the photos and videos in the news reports all over the place, and they haven't been taken down or deleted? Besides, I'm just an ordinary person. Even if I knew all this, it wouldn't threaten you, would it?"
The girl tossed the empty milk carton, which landed precisely in the trash can.
"I have my reasons..."
She didn't seem to intend to go into details.
Chen Mu was getting impatient: "Besides, I did save you, didn't I? Turning around and trying to kidnap me, isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"
"No, no, no, you can't say that."
The girl denied this claim: "To be precise, I saved you. If I hadn't healed your injuries, you probably wouldn't be awake now."
"Well……"
"If you hadn't insisted on pulling me back, I would have been flying away before the car hit me."
She added the finishing blow with a grin.
Chen Mu had nothing to say.
He paused for a moment, then defended himself: "Okay, even so, I meant well, didn't I?"
"That's true." The girl nodded, admitting, "So I didn't kill you to cover it up, I just kidnapped you."
"Should murder be something a magical girl would say...?"
Chen Mu gritted his teeth.
He felt that either this girl had gone mad, or the world had gone mad. The magical girls he had always imagined were nothing like this. All his previous education and understanding of news dissemination collapsed at this moment. She was sitting on the bed, tilting her head and smiling, looking sweet and cute, yet the words she uttered were so vicious!
At this moment, Chen Mu no longer hesitated, seized the opportunity, and turned to run!
His conversation just now wasn't just about trying to persuade the other party. If he could persuade them, that would be great, but if communication failed, he also had a backup plan.
In fact, while he was speaking, his feet were quietly moving on the ground, silently backing away, getting closer and closer to the door of the room.
Now that he was finally at the right distance, he turned around, took a step, and just managed to grab the doorknob, ready to rush out!
boom!
Chen Mu slammed heavily against the door, his shoulder aching, and he stumbled back a few steps.
The door remained completely still.
He looked as if he had been hit by a truck again, grimacing but without hesitation, he immediately stood up and tried again.
Is this door not pushed open, but pulled open?
Click.
He tried pulling the doorknob or twisting the door to open it, but nothing worked.
Click-clack.
The door seemed to be fixed to the space, remaining completely still.
"you……"
Chen Mu slowly turned his head and found that the girl was still sitting on the bed, watching his "escape" at a leisurely pace.
Is the door locked? Probably not.
It's probably magic.
Just like when he was locked in the closet, it was just an ordinary closet, and he was a grown man, but no matter what he did, he couldn't open it.
Perhaps some special sealing formation was applied, making it impossible to escape by brute force.
"I already told you, I kidnapped you, didn't I?"
After saying this, the girl gently waved her finger.
Before Chen Mu could react to what was happening, his feet suddenly felt light, as if he had lost gravity and was floating uncontrollably.
He could only watch helplessly as he slowly floated back from the room doorway and entered the narrow wardrobe once more.
Thump, the door closed in front of me, and I was plunged into darkness again.
"Escape is not allowed. You should reflect on your actions inside."
Bang bang bang! !
Suddenly, Chen Mu's angry pounding on the wardrobe door echoed from within, continuing for a long time.
He roared in anger, thinking:
"...Give me a chance, and I'll definitely teach this impolite brat a lesson!"
...
Chen Mu's anger didn't last long, because banging on the door served no purpose other than venting his emotions.
He quickly became tired and hungry, and squatted down.
I haven't eaten since morning. Although I've been unconscious for a while, hunger and thirst still come as expected.
"We can't afford to waste our energy any more."
Chen Mu calmed himself down and realized that this was not a child's play, but a real kidnapping emergency.
Moreover, the kidnapper is a neurotic magical girl.
In order to be rescued, I must prepare a detailed escape plan. Otherwise, who knows what might happen if I stay in her hands? What if she forgets the kindness of "helping me" and suddenly reverts to her original intention of "killing to silence me"? What if she locks me in this dark and gloomy closet and forgets about me?
Chen Mu recalled the scene he had briefly witnessed in the girl's room.
There is a door and a window. If there is a magical restriction on the door, there should be one on the window as well. You can try jumping out of the window.
Apart from that, the furniture layout was normal and nothing special, which might make it difficult to investigate the girl's true identity.
Is there anything we can use...?
He began to think carefully.
"However, the information we have now is still very limited. We must gain their trust in exchange for more room to maneuver."
In the end, Chen Mu sat cross-legged in the wardrobe, and because he was afraid of the cold, he casually draped the surrounding clothes over himself.
I couldn't figure out exactly what kind of clothes they were, so I just used them as a blanket.
As I was thinking, I fell asleep without realizing it.
The next morning, with a click, the wardrobe door was reopened—
With a long yawn, a drowsy girl in loose pajamas appeared before me. Her eyes were still blurry, and she seemed unaware of her status as a kidnapper.
Good morning! Did you get a good night's sleep last night?
"Thanks to you."
Chen Mu forced a smile, suppressing his anger.
"Good girl." The girl nodded in satisfaction, seemingly quite pleased with the compliment.
She raised her pretty chin and looked toward the desk in the room.
There was breakfast toast and a carton of strawberry milk on the table.
"After you finish eating, wait for me at home. I'm going to school."
