He had only meant to tease Ariana, but things had escalated.
Now, he was determined to find Ariana.
Meanwhile, Ariana regained her senses, overwhelmed by nausea due to being carried by someone who was running.
She fluttered her eyes open and discovered she was perched on the back of an unfamiliar man clad in a white robe, which reeked of disinfectant so potent that it stung her eyes.
âWho are you?â Ariana blurted out, beginning to struggle.
âWhy did you capture me?â
The man remained silent, dismissing her efforts to escape as he continued to run.
Ariana searched her pockets for anything to use as a weapon but found nothing, not even a leftover cookie crumb.
âLet me go!â she screamed, thrashing and biting with all her might, yet her attacks seemed not to affect the man at all.
Exhausted and running out of options, Ariana resorted to threats.
âDo you know who I am? You must have heard of Bennett Olson here.
Heâs searching for me as we speak.
If you donât release me, heâll make sure you regret this!â
Her words had no effect.
The man didnât even flinch.
Ariana didnât know what to do now.
Ariana muttered a curse directed at Bennett and blamed him for everything in her heart.
After that, she started to devise an escape plan.
But with Limited information about her captor, formulating a strategy proved challenging.
Before she could settle on a plan, they approached a distinctive house, its lights flickering.
Upon approaching, Ariana found out that the house was made of metal.
Before Ariana had a chance to be shocked, she was hurried inside the house.
The inside was even more astonishing: vast spaces were divided into individual labs, each sealed off with glass doors.
A brief glance into these labs revealed a mix of instruments and experimental vials.
The contents of these vials were incomprehensible to Ariana, yet there was an unnerving, creepy quality about them.
In addition, several jars filled with formaldehyde housed various preserved animal bodies and even human bodiesâ¦
Some were whole, while others were missing limbs or heads, all displaying odd colors that bore no resemblance to any natural skin tones.
With each sight, Arianaâs heart pounded with increasing fear and revulsion.
Despite her shock, Ariana surmised that the owner must be some sort of mad scientist.
She pondered if the owner was the person who had brought her here.
Before she could regain her composure, the man opened one of the rooms, positioned her on a metal bed, and swiftly restrained her Limbs.
