Chapter 289: Seventy-Fourth Floor, Prison Break (7)

Just as I expected, she just asked some questions.
It had essentially been a background check. She had asked about what I used to do, what weapons I favored, and the types of abilities I had possessed.

In hindsight, I was glad I had claimed my memory was incomplete. It gave me an easy out anytime the tower or Earth came up in the conversation.
