Chapter 40: The Invisible Woman Who Suddenly Appeared
The person pinned down by Orion Cross struggled to no avail, then asked in a low voice, "Who exactly are you?"
"You broke into my house in the middle of the night, and you’re asking me who I am?"
Orion Cross sneered. Was this intruder playing dumb, or did she think he was stupid?
"Your house?"
The intruder’s tone seemed somewhat confused. "Then why am I here?"
"That’s something you should ask yourself."
"Or I can find someone to help you remember."
Orion Cross kept the intruder pinned down with his foot, reached for the phone beside him, and prepared to call someone to handle this.
"Wait! There must be some kind of misunderstanding!"
"I’ll talk!"
Seeing Orion Cross’s actions, the intruder seemed to care a lot about her reputation. She immediately panicked and hurriedly spoke.
"Talk."
"Okay..."
Seeing that Orion Cross no longer seemed intent on "calling the police," the intruder let out a sigh of relief, then immediately began explaining. "Believe me. When I woke up, I found myself in your room. I was only trying to leave just now!"
"So you mean someone knocked you out and threw you into my room, Miss Agent?" Orion Cross laughed out loud. "Then do you think I’m the Demon Hunter or Lee Sin? There was such a big person in my room, and I didn’t see you before going straight to sleep?"
"This..." The intruder was rendered speechless for a moment. "I don’t know why either. Why didn’t you notice me?"
"There it is again."
Orion Cross covered his face speechlessly. "Did your parents never teach you not to answer a question with another question?"
"I..."
"Forget it. Let’s tie you up first."
Just as the intruder was about to say something, astral energy surged in Orion Cross’s palm. He flung several crimson chains at the intruder.
The Crimson Chains of Cyttorak. Another spell from Kamar-Taj.
However, those chains did not bind the intruder. Instead, they turned into whips and lashed her several times.
"Ah!"
The intruder let out a pained cry.
"Oh, sorry. This is my first time using it, so I’m not very skilled yet."
While the intruder was unable to resist, Orion Cross quickly walked to the side and turned on the light in the room.
Then...
He froze.
A set of women’s black clothes was floating in midair.
"Invisible Woman? A ghost?"
For a moment, Orion Cross could not confirm which one the person in front of him was. The ability to turn invisible was far too common. For all he knew, she might even be some unknown minor character.
"What did you say..."
At first, the invisible intruder did not understand Orion Cross’s words. Then she noticed the problem herself.
The set of women’s black clothes floated over to the full-length mirror in Orion Cross’s room and began looking at itself in the reflection.
"Why did I become like this?"
The invisible person seemed extremely shocked by her own change.
"Did you lose your memory?"
Orion Cross sat down on the edge of the bed, crossed his legs, and asked.
Judging from the current situation, the intruder might not have been lying.
If she was still acting at this point, then Orion Cross could only award her the Oscar for Best Actress.
"I didn’t lose my memory... Wait, maybe I really did lose part of it."
"I really don’t know how I ended up here..."
The black clothes slowly sank in midair. If one imagined the scene, the invisible person should be crouching on the floor right now, holding her head.
"I remember that my team and I were at an extraterrestrial space station observing cosmic radiation, and then there was an accident..."
The invisible person crouched on the ground, seemingly trying her best to recall. "But after that, I have no memory at all!"
"Wait. What’s your name?"
Hearing this familiar plot, Orion Cross froze slightly and asked.
"Susan. Susan Storm! You can look up my name online!"
"Believe me, I’m really not a criminal. I don’t know why I appeared here either!"
Invisible Woman Susan seemed somewhat emotionally shaken.
"I don’t think you’ll be able to find your name."
Orion Cross tossed his phone to her. "Try it yourself if you don’t believe me."
"That’s impossible!"
The phone floated into the air. The browser opened, entering the search page.
Susan Storm. Search.
There were 13,214 people with the same name, but not a single result was about her.
Invisible Woman refused to believe it and continued entering the names of the others. In the end, without exception, none of them appeared.
"How is that possible? Did the authorities erase all our information?"
Susan’s completely transparent face was filled with shock.
But all they had done was go study cosmic rays. It was not as if they had done anything anti-human. Why would the authorities erase their information?
"Your imagination is way too rich. Can’t you guess something more reasonable?"
Orion Cross smiled as he spoke.
"For example, maybe you arrived in another parallel universe."
