In an instant, the ground beneath Adrian and Ariana began to descend rapidly, the surroundings morphing before their eyes.
The next second, they found themselves on B4.
âTeleportation?â Adrian stared at the modest room before him now.
âThis is too advanced! When I get out, Iâm renovating my home Like this!â
Just as Adrian wondered if there was another similar mechanism in the room, Ariana said, âIt seems someone has come to see Moss.
â
Arianaâs words made Adrian snap out of his daze.
He turned to her and suggested, âLetâs use this chance to escape.
â
The door was actually secured by a lock that required facial recognition.
After so much time had passed, both Ariana and Adrian felt weary.
They sat before the door, despondent and lost in thought.
Besides facial recognition, what else could they do to escape?
The atmosphere grew heavy.
Lost in thought, Adrian absentmindedly rubbed his face and spoke to Ariana.
âAriana, I miss Jennifer.
â
Ariana felt guilty upon hearing this.
âIâm sorry, Adrian.
Itâs all my fault.
If it werenât for me, you wouldnât have been separated from Jennifer for so longâ¦â
Her guilt intensified with each word, tears forming in her eyes.
âDonât blame yourself.
Itâs not your fault at all,â Adrian reassured Ariana quickly.
âThe blame lies with those wicked people.
Youâre a victim.
â
Ariana sighed, choosing not to respond.
âLetâs confront Moss tomorrow.
Together, we should be able to handle him,â Adrian suggested.
âAs long as he doesnât bring out that huge electric drill.
â
Ariana pondered deeply.
Moss was the only one who could pass the facial recognition, yet he showed no sign of letting them go.
There might be other exits in the house, but if they also required Mossâ face for could end time if tried recognition, they up wasting they to find them.
Moss had resolved to choose her for the upcoming experimental match the following day.
Time was running short.
The house appeared ordinary, yet concealed traps lurked within.
Finding a second exit seemed impossible in such a brief time frame.
It appeared⦠Adrianâs plan might just work.
Compared to sitting idly and waiting, attacking head-on seemed the better option.
Arianaâs eyes lit up with renewed hope.
She turned to Adrian and declared firmly, âEven if Moss brings out the big electric drill, we must fight.
We outnumber him.
Besides, Iâve been training hard in the arena lately.
I wonât be at a disadvantage in a bare-handed fight.
â
âIf he does use the big electric drill, we shouldnât be unarmed.
Arenât there many corrosive substances in his lab? We can steal some and use them against him if we canât beat him outright.
Of course, not on his face.
With luck, we might escape.
And if we lose, it wonât be too bad for us.
Both sides will get hurt.
As long as heâs injured, he wonât rush to match you in experiments.
â Adrian patted his chest reassuringly.
âDonât worry.
Iâll do everything I can to keep you safe for Holden.
â
The two of them finalized their plan for the next day.
On the other side.
