Book 20: Chapter 3
“Nier!! Nier!”
The sound of Sister Ning’s phone dropping nearly deafened me. It was reassuring to hear Nier’s voice, albeit shocking. Nier misunderstood I was imprisoned in the metal box. If I didn’t appear, she’d definitely kill Sister Ning because she and Sister Ning couldn’t communicate. I’d argue nobody knew how strong Nier was better than I did. If she wanted, she needed only one second to snap Sister Ning’s neck.
All I could do in my situation was belt as loud as I could, startling the taxi driver. He understandably looked displeased. I made an apologetic hand gesture then continued yelling into his phone that I borrowed. My phone was out of commission, but my SIM card was still functioning. I couldn’t remember Sister Ning’s number, though, which was why I had to swap out our SIM cards.
“Nier! Stop!! Stop! It’s just a messaging device!! I’m not inside!! Believe me, Nier! Let go of the woman! She’s my older sister! Don’t hurt her!”
I stopped hearing voices on the other end. I then heard something heavy hit the ground. Next, someone picked up the phone. It must’ve been Nier who picked it up. She had no clue how to operate the machine. I shouted into the phone, “Nier, wait for me. I’ll be back soon!! Believe me! Believe me!!”
“How do… How do I use this contraption?” asked Nier, fumbling with the phone. Her hands shook, and words wouldn’t come to mind.
“Don’t worry about how to use it. I’m hanging up now. I’ll be back very soon. Don’t worry.”
“No!!”
Nier’s yell froze me. I immediately grabbed the phone in my hand and loudly questioned, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong, Nier? Did something happen on your end?”
