Before the journey of One Piece

"Uh...I said I also...don't know very well, do you believe it?" Qinglin shrank her shoulders, and Hawkins' eyes narrowed slightly.

"John, take her to the end over there." Hawkins pointed to the end of the cabin, and the red-haired man nodded.

"Wait, take this." Liste handed a small kettle to Hongmao. He stuffed it into his pocket, grabbed the chain on Qinglin's body and walked in that direction.

"Qiang!" After walking about five or six meters, Qinglin was pulled by the chain behind her and could not move forward.

"It seems that this far is the limit." Hawkins turned around, looked at the girl about ten meters away from him, lowered his head and patted the chain.

The chain made a sound, and Qinglin lowered her head, curiously wondering if she could also touch the chain.

"John, give her some water." Hearing the captain say this, John inserted his gun, took out the small kettle, unscrewed it and handed it to Qing Lin.

Seeing the girl's speechless expression, he remembered that her hands were tied.John glanced at the captain in embarrassment, who was waiting for his action.

"Tsk." John had no choice but to help her feed her water. The water in the kettle was not large and he drank it in just a few sips.

"Well, it's a bit sweet..." Qinglin smacked her mouth.

"Huh?" His eyelids suddenly became heavy, and his consciousness became blurred.

"Why..." Qinglin staggered and fell backward.

She only felt herself being pulled a little before she touched the floor.Before his consciousness sank completely, only the sound of iron chains echoed in his ears...

……

"Well..." Qinglin moved and turned over.

"Ugh!!" The falling feeling made her wake up quickly. Her conditioned reflex was to hold on to something so that her face did not come into close contact with the floor.

"Host, you are finally awake!" The system's voice sounded a little excited.

'what happened? Qinglin stood up and sat back down on the leather sofa where she had just been lying. She was holding on to the coffee table in front of the sofa to keep it from falling.

Her head was still a little groggy, so Qinglin couldn't help but pat her head.Then the uncomfortable feeling on her wrist made her notice that there was something like handcuffs on it.

"You're awake." A low voice came, and Qinglin looked up.Hawkins, wearing a black coat, sat behind the desk on the right side of the room and looked at her quietly.The sunlight poured into the room from the window behind him, and it looked like it was already daytime.

"Ah... um..."

Qinglin didn't know what to say for a moment, but finally managed to say: "Hello."

She thought this was strange and quickly added: "Um, did I faint just now?"

"Yes, after you lost consciousness for the experiment last night, could you undo the chains and give you water mixed with drug?" Hawkins put down the paper in his hand.

"Ah..." Qinglin really didn't know what to say this time.

Hawkins sat up straight: "Let me tell you about the chains, Qing..."

He suddenly got stuck.

"Well, if I'm really not used to it, you can just call me Gina." Qing Lin raised her hand and suggested.

"Gina...ok." Hawkins nodded.

"It seems that the black chain cannot be untied no matter what, because you have been tied to a chain mixed with sea stone, so it should not be your ability."

"Should..." Qinglin nodded. The system's binding device should not be counted among her abilities.Hawkins stared at her silently, closed his eyes, and opened them again.

"Because the chains cannot be untied, we decided to let you stay temporarily. However, you are still suspicious when you suddenly appear in the bathroom out of thin air. To be on the safe side, we put handcuffs mixed with seastone on you."

Qing Lin looked at the handcuffs on her wrists again. Although they were relatively large, they were not easy to take off.

"As long as the distance between us is more than ten meters, the chain will appear and tie us both, so don't go more than ten meters away from me."

"Okay." Qinglin nodded again.

"Finally, there's something you need to decide."

"Okay." Qinglin cheered up.

"Do you want to stay in another room or stay with me?"

"Eh?" Qinglin was stunned for a while. 'Isn't that just cohabitation later? ! ! '

"Other rooms." She answered without hesitation

"Are you sure? If an emergency occurs, we may hinder the other party's actions." Hawkins added.

"Uh..." Qinglin's eyes began to move around. "Actually... even if we live together... I might... be a drag..."

Her voice was getting lower and lower.

"I understand. You and Suo Li can live together. I will inform you when I need to go out in the future. Of course, you can also tell me when you need to go out." Hawkins glanced at her up and down and nodded slightly.

Frail but healthy body, docile character, rosy complexion, clean and tidy, well-educated, with only callus marks on the palms left by long-term writing, lack of vigilance, obviously grew up in a good and peaceful environment.But the clothes she wore were completely different from those of the aristocratic children, and there were no aristocratic words in her words. In other words, she might not be an aristocrat.

I am really lucky to be able to grow up safely in this cruel North Sea.

"Follow me." Hawkins stood up and walked out, Qinglin quickly followed.
