Chapter 410: Chapter 410: The Person Offended
"I offended someone,
and they thought I was dead, so they threw me in here."
The girl didn’t seem to know what this place was.
She had been locked in a room full of corpses for nearly a day and a night, and her mind was on the verge of collapse.
Only after hearing voices in the distance did she try using her Water Element Superpower to make the sound of water splashing against the door.
She didn’t recognize the two people in front of her, and she had just used her Water Element Superpower.
’If they find out I’m a Water Element Superpower User, will they send me back?’
"I’m begging you. I’ll do anything you ask. Please, don’t report me. Don’t send me back in there."
The girl pleaded desperately.
Nina Jacobs already had a suspicion. This girl was most likely from the Water Source Center.
"I won’t send you back, but this is the Correction Pod.
I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to get out, either."
Nina Jacobs sighed and asked, "What’s your name?"
"The Correction... Pod?"
The girl’s face went as white as a sheet. She mumbled in disbelief, "My name is Naomi Summers. I... I want to go back. How could I be in the Correction Pod...?"
"You said your name is Naomi Summers?"
Nina Jacobs finally remembered where she had seen that familiar face before.
It was in Zoraida’s room, in that photograph.
Zoraida had also mentioned her sister, Naomi.
’Could she be the one?’
"Miss, do you know a way to get out of here?"
Naomi Summers asked through her tears.
During the days she was imprisoned with the other Water Element Superpower Users, she had never heard about the outside world, but she had heard of the Correction Pod.
The fat supervisor always used the Correction Pod to frighten them. She only knew it was a place that devoured people whole.
A place you entered only to die.
"First, tell me, who do you have in your family?"
Nina Jacobs continued, trying to confirm her suspicion.
"My mother and my little sister... they’re both ordinary people. SOB... Will I ever see them again?"
After hearing Naomi Summers’s words, Nina Jacobs was certain.
This was Zoraida Summers’s sister, Naomi Summers.
But she didn’t know how to help her in this situation.
An extra person appearing out of nowhere inside the Correction Pod... it would be difficult to hide.
"Who did you offend?"
Nina Jacobs wanted to figure out what had happened to Naomi Summers first.
Remembering that person, Naomi Summers trembled all over.
"I offended... Mrs. W-White."
Naomi Summers trembled more violently. Seeing that her hands were still unusable, Nina Jacobs took out a bottle of water and helped her drink.
Even though she was a Water Element Superpower User herself, Naomi Summers still drank it.
For some reason, after a few sips of water, she calmed down considerably.
It turned out that the day before yesterday, Mrs. White had brought her young daughter to the swimming pool to play.
Because Mrs. White was afraid of water, she suggested having a few Water Element Superpower Users play with her daughter.
Naomi Summers’s specialty was using her Water Element Superpower to conjure things into various shapes. She had played with the little girl before, so she was naturally chosen.
Seeing the little girl reminded Naomi of her own sister, so she played with her with extra care.
The little girl was indeed having a wonderful time, especially when she saw the various small animals Naomi Summers created from water in mid-air with her Superpower.
Perhaps she got too carried away with the fun, but the little girl suddenly had an idea and pulled Mrs. White, who was standing by the poolside, into the water.
After falling in, Mrs. White screamed relentlessly.
The little girl was frightened too and immediately pointed at Naomi Summers, claiming she was the one who had pulled Mrs. White into the pool.
Although Mrs. White was later rescued, she still ordered Naomi to be executed.
They put her in a sack and beat her for a long time. Fortunately, she managed to protect her body with a membrane of water using her Superpower, but she fainted anyway.
Those people must have thought she was dead, so they dumped her here.
"SOB SOB... It really wasn’t me.
I know Mrs. White is afraid of water, so I kept my distance. That little girl, Evelina... she’s terrifying."
Naomi Summers was just a high school girl. She had never experienced anything like this. At that moment, she didn’t even have a chance to defend herself before she was dragged away.
Nina Jacobs was speechless after hearing the story.
’Is that little girl, Evelina, the bane of these two sisters’ existence?’
"It’s okay now. I’ll find a way to get you out.
Wait here for me."
Nina Jacobs reached out and smoothed the girl’s messy hair.
She didn’t know how to hide Naomi Summers, either.
Tobin was also in the Pod, but he could barely protect himself.
She would have to find another way.
Naomi Summers wasn’t sure if the two people who had just left were going to report her.
After all, to her, this entire base was filled with malice.
"Why? What did I do wrong?"
Naomi Summers hid in a dark corner, crying in despair.
More than the physical pain, the despair in her heart was like a rising tide, suffocating her.
Just as she was crying so hard she could barely breathe, a metal cart stopped beside her.
The two from before had returned quickly.
"Lie down here for now. I’m going to move you to a safe place,"
Nina Jacobs said.
"This is..."
Naomi Summers thought the cart looked very strange.
"It’s for transporting corpses."
Nina Jacobs answered frankly.
To be precise, it was what Harlan used to transport specimens or dismembered bodies.
Right now, this was her only option.
"It’s okay. I’m not afraid."
Naomi Summers said, her eyes firm with resolve.
She had already spent a night with corpses. This cart looked much cleaner by comparison.
Nina Jacobs pushed the metal cart, which she had covered with a blood-stained cloth.
She planned to wheel Naomi Summers to her room. That would be safe, at least for now.
Fortunately, this cart was a common sight, so no one paid it any mind as she walked down the busy corridor.
When Zachary Sterling and the others saw Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner return, they were about to greet them but then noticed the cart in front of Nina.
"This..."
Theseus York reached out to lift the cloth.
"Stop. Keep walking,"
Nina Jacobs ordered.
As if they understood something, Zachary Sterling and the others immediately said loudly:
"Boss, no need to look so closely.
It’s just one of Harlan’s experiments for today."
"Yeah, yeah, it’s probably not a pretty sight. Let’s just wheel it over and drop it off for him..."
The others chimed in, playing along.
Theseus York also realized what was happening and used his sturdy body to block the corridor.
Nina Jacobs successfully transported Naomi Summers back to her room.
"Which team is she from? How did she get beaten this badly?"
Even Zachary Sterling gasped when he saw Naomi Summers covered in injuries.
The girl’s arms and legs were both broken.
On one of her legs, a crushed bone had even burst through the skin.
"Are any of you a doctor?"
Only now did Nina Jacobs get a clear look at Naomi Summers’s injuries.
It reminded her of Wayne Warner’s injuries from before. Although these weren’t as severe as Wayne’s had been, any injury involving bones probably required a doctor.
"No."
Zachary Sterling shook his head.
There was no need for doctors in the Correction Pod. After all, you were either alive or you were dead.
"A doctor... What about Harlan?"
Theseus York said.
Nina Jacobs froze. Harlan was indeed a doctor, but she didn’t trust him.
Bringing Naomi Summers to him would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter.
Besides, Wayne Warner’s match was about to start.
"It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt anymore,"
Naomi Summers said, seeing Nina Jacobs’s dilemma.
"When the body suffers severe trauma, it stimulates a massive release of adrenaline. Of course you can’t feel the pain. That’s your brain issuing an order to block it."
A familiar voice sounded from behind them. A murderous glint appeared in Nina Jacobs’s eyes.
’How did Harlan get in?!’
