Cindy said, "When we found Reynolds, he was already acting somewhat dazed. Later, when we questioned him, we discovered that part of his memory seemed very blurry. Lord Feiluo guessed that the Mist Belt's unique field might have affected his soul body, or perhaps his soul body had been injured, or he had sealed away his own memories. For now, we still don't know the specifics."
After several seconds of silence, Angel nodded. "Go on. Tell us everything—how you encountered Reynolds, what happened afterward, and everything Reynolds told you."
Cindy nodded and, beneath everyone's watchful eyes, began recounting the story in detail.
They had encountered Reynolds in a chaotic reef field deep within the Mist Belt. At the time, Reynolds had looked like a rootless ghost at sea, wandering aimlessly near the reefs.
Such ghosts were not common in the Devil Sea, but they could occasionally be encountered. The vast majority were victims of shipwrecks.
They had not intended to approach Reynolds. It was only after noticing the tattoo on his face that Feiluo brought the wandering Reynolds back.
At first, Reynolds had been thoroughly confused and deeply wary of them. It was not until Cindy discovered his true name and Feiluo revealed their general objective that Reynolds was roused from his self-absorbed haze.
Through questioning, they learned that Reynolds had escaped from a laboratory. Everyone in that laboratory had numerical tattoos on their faces.
The laboratory focused mainly on biological experiments. It was filled with limbs and organs, as well as countless cells imprisoning all kinds of creatures.
"Because something happened, Reynolds rebelled against the laboratory's authority. He did not remember what happened in the end. In any case, he appeared in the Mist Sea Region in the form of a soul." Cindy said, "That is the general situation."
