Chapter 20 - Episode 18: Where Am I?

After finishing our ice creams, David and I split.

"I'm gonna go to my room now."

"Hm? Okay."

I said that, yet…

"Where the hell am I?! I don't remember this hallway though."

As I continued to wander, clicking sounds came from my front. The lights started to flicker. Someone very powerful was walking towards me. I tried to turn back but I already lost my sense of direction. The clicking neared—then it stops.

'Hel—stupid horror movie protags.'

"What might bring Unit 091 here?"

"...!"

A male deep voice was heard in front of me. He wore an all-black suit. He was as tall, no, taller than David. 

"I…"

Managing to find my voice, I quietly said,

"I was lost. I was lost in thought I didn't realize where I was headed, I'm sorry."

"Hmm. I see, then mind if I help you? Oh, I'm Lucian Blackwell, Ceo of Nox Corporations."

'Ceo? Why?'

"I apologize for any pain I will cause you…" Lucian manipulated chains that glowed, they rose behind his back and exerted purple mist. "...But you see, you're so special I can't help being interested."

The chains slid toward me like snakes, wrapping around my wrists, my ankles—then my neck.

"S—so cold."

I whispered.

"Ah, I came from the freezer that's why."

" ! "

His voice carried twistedness.

"Wanna peek?"

"NO—!"

Thud.
