# Chapter 37: The Bowknot!
With Jiangnan being taken away, the classroom completely exploded!
"No way? Three military vehicles came just to arrest Nan Shen?"
"Those are the Dark Night Army! The aura was terrifying, they've definitely seen blood!"
"Why are they arresting Nan Shen? They even prepared a black hood and small handcuffs?"
"So awesome! Being able to get involved with the Dark Night Army!"
"Didn't Nan Shen catch a Russian yesterday? Maybe he's going to assist in solving the case?"
The classmates discussed heatedly!
They were all young people, naturally extremely curious about the country's mysterious forces!
Even students from other classes craned their necks to look out the window!
They watched helplessly as Jiangnan was shoved into the military vehicle, which sped off with a press of the gas pedal!
Li Xiang sneered: "Calm down, everyone!"
"Jiangnan is finished! Those black handcuffs are specially made to limit spirit warriors' abilities!"
"Rescuing people at the mall? Hah! Don't tell me he had something to do with those Russians!"
Liu Quanwu: "Isn't that right? Otherwise, why arrest him?"
"Maybe he went in to cover for them! That would be..."
Some people also objected: "Don't be sour grapes just because you can't have them!"
"Regardless of why they took Nan Shen, he really did risk his life to enter the fire last night and carried out more than sixty people!"
"Those were all living lives! No matter what Nan Shen did wrong, in my book he's this!"
With that, he gave a thumbs up.
The classroom went quiet.
Li Xiang and Liu Quanwu had nothing more to say, no matter how sour they were...
Jiangnan, sitting in the military vehicle, was extremely well-behaved!
Because he could feel it!
That woman called Mountain Cat was quietly sitting right next to him...
He moved his wrist slightly.
Handcuffs that can restrict abilities?
Holy shit?
Isn't this just like the Sea Stone handcuffs from One Piece?
I'm screwed! Screwed!
I can't even use teleportation!
They're not going to take little old me to do some weird human experiments, are they?
I'm still a child 216 months and 21 days old!
How could you bear to do that?
"Sister Mountain Cat! I need to go to the bathroom!"
Jiangnan squeezed his legs together, fidgeting anxiously.
No one spoke...
"Sister Shanmiao! I need to..."
"Hold it!"
Mountain Cat didn't even look at Jiangnan, two words popping out of her mouth!
Jiangnan: ...
Another half hour passed.
"Sister Shanmiao, I need to take a dump!"
Mountain Cat's eye twitched, but she still didn't speak. Instead, she shoved something into Jiangnan's hand.
Jiangnan felt it!
What the heck!
A bottle?
A wide-mouthed Pulse bottle?
Are you serious?
Hey hey hey!
I need to take a dump!
How... how do I use a bottle?
So even if I need to take a dump in the car, you're not going to stop?
Heartless!
Mountain Cat raised an eyebrow: "What? Need me to help you?"
Help... help me?
How exactly would you help?
Jiangnan suddenly imagined some strange and bizarre scenes!
Then he couldn't help but shiver.
"N-no, thanks!"
The male Dark Night Army soldier driving in front was struggling hard not to laugh.
It took a full two hours.
Only then was Jiangnan's hood removed!
The harsh light made him uncomfortable.
Jiangnan was now locked to the desk.
There was no one else in the room.
It was a separate compartment, surrounded by thick concrete walls!
The air was damp, probably some kind of underground base.
Jiangnan had been locked in here for over an hour!
"Oww!"
"Stop hitting! Oww!"
From the next compartment came dull thuds like a pile driver ramming.
Along with someone's wails!
[Resentment Value from Alexander Joyekovsky +1000!]
Looking at the constantly refreshing resentment value list,
Jiangnan shuddered!
I said that wailing sounded familiar!
So it's Alexander!
No wonder he was so eager to die yesterday...
So this is what was waiting for him!
They beat you up, why resent me?
I honestly tried to save you!
Mom, this person is really weird!
But Jiangnan couldn't sit still. They were beating someone else now.
Pretty soon they'd come for him.
Looking at his hands locked tightly in the handcuffs,
Jiangnan grinned, flipped his palm,
Revealing the small copper wire he'd pulled from the military vehicle.
He poked at the lock mechanism!
[Skill activated! Lockpicking: LV0!]
[Skill points added: 100!]
[Skill upgraded! Lockpicking (Proficient): LV0!]
A lousy pair of black handcuffs? How could they stump little old me?
With a click,
The handcuffs were unlocked. Jiangnan hunched over and tiptoed out,
Trying not to make any sound.
He didn't dare use teleportation—who knew what this underground base was like?
He crept to the door,
Opened it to run,
But seemed to bump into something?
Huh?
Wait a sec!
Let me feel carefully!
Then he looked up and found Mountain Cat looking down at him!
Her cold face was like a mountain blocking the doorway.
Did I just crash into her arms?
Awkward!
Mountain Cat had been standing at the door, reaching for the handle,
When the handle moved on its own!
Jiangnan poked his head out like a thief and crashed right into her.
Looking at the handcuffs on the desk, now opened,
A strong interest flickered in Mountain Cat's eyes.
Jiangnan said weakly: "I was just wondering... what's for lunch in the cafeteria!"
[Resentment Value from Luo Tianhong +614!]
Luo Tianhong?
Heheh? That's a nice name!
Then looking at Mountain Cat's cold face,
Jiangnan obediently went back into the room.
Mountain Cat sat in the chair, feet propped on the desk!
Behind her stood the male and female Dark Night Army soldiers.
Mountain Cat gave them a look, and with a bang, the door closed!
"Come here!"
Jiangnan flinched, pointing at his own nose!
Mountain Cat didn't speak, placing her hand on the table!
Seeing the blood on Mountain Cat's knuckles, Jiangnan's expression turned serious. He dashed over to Mountain Cat,
Beaming: "What are your orders? Just say the word, little one..."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish, Mountain Cat's hand moved like lightning, chopping directly onto the back of Jiangnan's head, knocking him unconscious!
Jiangnan felt everything go black. His last conscious thought was that what they showed on TV was real—you really can knock someone out by hitting the back of the neck?
10 minutes later!
Mountain Cat looked at the needle mark on Jiangnan's chest and the wound on his shoulder, deep in thought!
"Indeed! Put it on him."
The female soldier next to her took the clothes they'd just taken off and put them back on Jiangnan, her pretty face slightly red!
...
Jiangnan, slumped on the desk, suddenly woke up, feeling a splitting headache. He looked around dazedly!
Mountain Cat was sitting right across from him!
Why did she knock me out? She didn't do anything unspeakable to me, did she?
Looking down at his belt, Jiangnan's eyes went wide!
His belt was originally tied in a single knot, but now it was a bowknot?
Indeed! Indeed!
So my little secret has been discovered?
At this moment, Jiangnan's face was full of grief and indignation!
Mountain Cat said calmly: "You... how old are you?"
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: "You already know, why ask? 20!"
Mountain Cat was taken aback: "Doesn't the file say you're 18? Fake?"
Jiangnan was stunned: "Uh... you were asking about my age?"
Mountain Cat's face reddened, and she snapped: "What did you think?"
Can you even be any more sarcastic?
What kind of magical train of thought is that?
[Resentment Value from Luo Tianhong +666!]
Indeed!
A boy must always protect himself when going out!
In just two days,
A blonde beauty, Mountain Cat, and a female Dark Night Army soldier
Had all discovered my little secret!
Sigh! I guess being too handsome really is a curse!
You'll get your comeuppance!
