Her words had no effect. The man didn't even flinch.

Ariana didn't 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 bodies...

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, Ariana's 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.

Snapping back to her senses, Ariana began to struggle. "Let me go!"

Yet, the man remained indifferent to her efforts, lost in his own thoughts.

Unsure of his intentions, Ariana took a moment to assess him: a tall, gaunt man in his fifties, his pale complexion and handsome features offset by a cold, distant air. His eyes displayed a chilling indifference that could send shivers down one's spine with just one look.

Ignoring Ariana's frantic efforts, the man retrieved a syringe filled with some liquid from a lab bench and injected it into her arm.

Almost instantly, Ariana's strength began to wane, leaving her helplessly observing as he employed various devices to scan her body and extract a large sample of her blood.
