As she spoke, she suddenly pulled out a... memory card?
"Is this... memory?"
"Yep, ding-dong~ You guessed right~ Come on, take a look and see what's inside!"
"You... don't know... what's inside?"
"Nope~ I took it from the Security Team's storage room."
"Storage room?"
"Yeah, it's full of confiscated illegal goods and things that belonged to prisoners~"
"This is... a crime, isn't it?"
"Eh~ If I put it back later, it doesn't count, right? At most, I'm just borrowing it~ Borrowing~"
My mouth twitched. That girl really was carefree. If she didn't have someone powerful backing her, she'd probably have been taken out long ago.
As she spoke, Xu Lin inserted the card in her hand into the tablet. After the prompt to read the card appeared, a media player came up.
Then a prompt appeared on the screen.
"Play" or "Close"
Of course, given Xu Lin's personality, she immediately hit Play. I was about to say that peeking into other people's privacy like this wasn't a good idea.
Then the screen suddenly went black. A jumble of English appeared, and the screen slowly turned, revealing what seemed to be footage from before the apocalypse.
The houses around it were clean and tidy. Unlike now, the ground wasn't covered in weeds; it was a spotless asphalt road, with even the traces of paint still clear. Then a man's voice came from the recording, though I couldn't understand it.
"@!#%..."
That didn't sound like Chinese, did it?
I didn't know why, but I understood what he said. Had I learned it sometime in my past?
The man said, "Good afternoon~"
Then a woman's voice came through, and the camera turned to show the girl. She wore a clean, pretty dress, and as she spoke, she bowed at a perfect ninety degrees.
