Just as Adrian wondered if there was another similar mechanism in the room, Ariana said, "It seems someone has come to see Moss."

Ariana's words made Adrian snap out of his daze. He turned to her and suggested, “Let's use this chance to escape."

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. “Ariana, I miss Jennifer."

Ariana felt guilty upon hearing this. "I'm sorry, Adrian. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been separated from Jennifer for so long..."

Her guilt intensified with each word, tears forming in her eyes.

"Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault at all," Adrian reassured Ariana quickly. “The blame lies with those wicked people. You're a victim."

Ariana sighed, choosing not to respond.

“Let's confront Moss tomorrow. Together, we should be able to handle him," Adrian suggested. “As long as he doesn't bring out that huge electric drill."

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 Moss' 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... Adrian's plan might just work.

Compared to sitting idly and waiting, attacking head-on seemed the better option.

Ariana's eyes lit up with renewed hope. She turned to Adrian and declared firmly, “Even if Moss brings out the big electric drill, we must fight. We outnumber him. Besides, I've been training hard in the arena lately. I won't be at a disadvantage in a bare-handed fight."

"If he does use the big electric drill, we shouldn't be unarmed. Aren't there many corrosive substances in his lab? We can steal some and use them against him if we can't beat him outright. Of course, not on his face. With luck, we might escape. And if we lose, it won't be too bad for us. Both sides will get hurt. As long as he's injured, he won't rush to match you in experiments." Adrian patted his chest reassuringly. “Don't worry. I'll do everything I can to keep you safe for Holden."

The two of them finalized their plan for the next day.

On the other side.
