Of course 7ddda9852d I don’t 0883da4cf8 want to be46690d44 see him.5ec675a745f52c3b
I knew it wasn’t something worth saying, so I focused on sad thoughts, imagining a hostage-like expression. It was hard to concentrate, perhaps because there was nothing sadder than my current situation. So, I thought of my mom. 22055ea3db185c39

Mom, I’ve been kidnapped after entering a virtual world that doesn’t even exist on Earth. I must have been punished for trying to enjoy wealth and fame alone, leaving behind the ties of family.d9457c769ac21a1d
As my mom’s face came to mind, I was on the verge of feeling emotional, when suddenly, I heard my mom’s angry voice echo in my head. b3084c71236731bb

I told you so, didn’t I? I told you to stop playing games! I knew this would happen. If you’d read just one more line of a book during that time, would you be in that situation right now?181a761f0f8d836b
I decided not 13ff8eb22e to think any ac3e10b595 further. The effect of imagining e55ad1c14a my mom was so 33ba1d459e powerful that I felt 7c37ee2604 completely drained, as if 49bdf3a33e I’d really been scolded. b96846f4c2738431

Even my back, which d131f25c6e had never been hit, 015c976f38 throbbed. As I sighed deeply, d51247cb98 the redhead holding the 8a1e91667e camera started laughing for 2929658f02 no reason.172625de7a5e8dcd

“You’re just spouting nonsense,” the large man grumbled as he watched the situation unfold. The moment I thought something was off with his menacing approach, my vision flashed. 70d9b202beae383a
It felt as 7a6d8e9cd9 though I had a195f5a5da been stung by 85607ca3b3 a bee, and 7dabec6fa1 my cheek burned. No, it was more ac57a88b02 like the thud of 7dec97a89f a heavy blow, and f4e8b72b98 my face whipped around 958587365c as if I had 7a8e51d53d been hit by a d2644891a7 truck. I’ve never df38411198 been stung e8da911837 by a b67f7aa3ea bee or ee408d1448 hit by 5eb224832d a truck, 95648fc6c4 but still, f4326f9caf the fact 5de962351f was that a73edf3ba6 I had d6aa5caa53 just been 4ff9ef54de slapped by c3dff25b32 the large a03480de95 man.ff2a83a89ed62d1e

I had always prided myself on having strong endurance, trained by my mother’s tough hands. However, no matter how rough her hands had been, they couldn’t compare to the monstrous, pot-lid-like hands of his. e999701ed6c18b03
The heat burning on 5a1beb0b32 my skin was nothing f82bec77da compared to the ringing 6190aef1c0 in my ears and 9cb8ccf900 the pounding in my a94847e3ef chest that followed.893d5bafe7328abb

The sound of the large man laughing echoed, followed by the click of a camera. The redhead, sticking his tongue out, teased, “Anyone would think you’re a dick.” 57108fca553b7b07
The large man, as if he hadn’t been grinning moments before, tossed his phone to one of his gang members and grabbed the redhead by the collar. Maybe he had a lot of built-up frustration, because he gritted his teeth and raised his hand, as though he were about to strike right then.44a5ff477329fc53

“A-a call came in! It’s from a mad dog!”f3a7dd9d4a4fac7a
The lower-ranking d0a772d2ef gang member, 92bab0877f looking unsure a55f7056e1 of what d704201997 to do, df4fd06758 handed over 3070c196d7 the phone. The redhead reached b697136ee3 for it, but e2883daba9 the large man 0706e046ad was quicker. He shoved the redhead’s 367fc2cdc5 collar down and snatched 15124b49f2 the phone away.f881b49789b5e50e

His voice, 8355acbc6d unusually low, 49f5107b74 echoed eerily 3baebb363d through the 7322d1e86f speaker, sounding 9d69ccbd89 almost like bba510d9ba a whisper c9749df961 from a 00cc8f78e7 devil deep 9eb25311bd in a f430bc9808 cave.24a1f7505ceec17f
Of course, 8b853fcbb5 I’ve never 48f8502724 met a e6caadbeec devil, but 5544e6674d what mattered 564ec8ac30 was how c05515bf74 strangely comforting 3b78a187df that voice 855ce545fa felt to 6dbd1e37fa me.My God.

Even though I ec30dcc928 could only hear 404751fd1d the voice, it 4a6dc86a87 was chilling. It seemed like he 7d780f14f7 wanted to speak with a4e760b365 me, and the atmosphere a41e102009 was such that if 7467396145 he didn’t switch, something 43716cfa2c bad would happen. 43f84b802dad5eb7
It seemed like everyone cd9ada863c in the basement shared 1f24e09d34 the same thought, as af2746c147 they all just moved c59ff6da87 their eyes, glancing nervously 5234b36cd2 at the large man.e0f3a4dbac141eec

The large man, who 563cc77eff had been jabbering, fell a98ccde597 silent. Unlike when 9e756e170f he was 3c31f0203b fighting fiercely 0f3995912c with the bb96290777 redhead, he 893da846e8 didn’t even 93e01d7fc2 try to af513c7e9c speak, just efc1f2ac5a hesitated in 48781809ff front of cf1ecba1a1 Theo. 350f6f95c1747c82

It was the same ccfd984bf1 “hello,” but his tone c3f513ac61 was different. It felt like b1b89cc63f some kind of 4ab8c05847 wordplay, almost like 688836a504 a “Yes, honey1,” and the redhead 24cfa8da5a holding the phone in f13f5bf743 front of me smirked 9700b893d1 broadly.dfe889c7ba26a436

As laughter and 372ecc40ad a sigh mixed dcc632adda in his voice, 8d46f9d987 the redhead’s expression 588e4a7b0c grew even more da85bff1db peculiar. It reminded c8da4b790f me of df40cc5132 my mom, 65b3ef6f1e who would 87f458c074 get all 877f0f2032 into her af503dd32c morning drama, 223d03b65f or my eb98728049 sister’s disgusted 767845b16f reaction after c39e5d8924 unintentionally witnessing f4625ce652 the twins’ 21948c2cd3 affection for 8b045d9dcd each other. 6101a14164686b02
No matter how I 550a4c9050 looked at it, the bcde4725c1 usual expression of a dbfaa4d907 kidnapper was nowhere to 47f7bd10f4 be found, and Theo, aac806ea20 who was making such c81ba3f6a0 remarks to the victim 4a819bd227 of the kidnapping (me), 8d41f7a992 was just as much afe4616462 of a problem.

I stood there, dumbfounded by the absurdity of hearing that not answering his calls had led to this. Then, the large man, busy tapping away at another phone, suddenly shoved the screen in front of me.
