Although they said they would use Captain as the test subject, the real goal was still success.
If the cube was a lock, then silently opening it without anyone noticing would be the ideal solution.
The golden quill that usually recorded sighs transformed into a miniature dagger. It poked at the cube attached to Captain's phantom shackles. In the end, however, it moved to the chain connecting the cube to the void.
Rita wanted to use this opportunity to test a theory.
Did the prison's overseer have thoughts of its own?
The dagger lightly sliced the chain.
The power of authority and order left a clear mark in it with ease.
The mysterious eye in the void did nothing.
Rita waited a few seconds, then moved the dagger back and cut the chain again.
Still no reaction.
But Rita continued like a machine without emotions, cutting the chain once every few seconds.
The notch grew larger and larger.
The chain was only about as thick as a charging cable.
