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. 08f92fb17330210c

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.a32f4d361c610c88
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. 0ccc56791704c7b9

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?bcd8a63581919427
I decided not a9f60b1485 to think any 23f65a3be9 further. The effect 5ff2915cdb of imagining 6fbe0371da my mom 29bc3c10c2 was so 52ffb40dd3 powerful that 4700260f0c I felt 4943d7ea6f completely drained, 772e72722d as if 35ccb12eca I’d really 5f419574fb been scolded. 2c5e0efd8839a36c

Even my back, which cc28c1b3d1 had never been hit, 06d2e2425f throbbed. As I sighed 87446e1069 deeply, the redhead 7a2dd5b52b holding the camera 4b50173255 started laughing for 50ee3040b8 no reason.6282c0eb1f597ca1
“Sis, your 8fccf90506 expression is 3f7f31c188 really weird. You look like 300ab1b326 an old man 05bbf18df4 hiking.”ebc8f509e158ea77

“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. 9d7fdad931386f07
It felt as though eafd8b9a4d I had been stung 0e761b5138 by a bee, and 0efb342fbb my cheek burned. No, it was more acfed30fb9 like the thud of 70694b95ca a heavy blow, and 12314e9730 my face whipped around b4ff07638c as if I had 32deeba42b been hit by a fcd95b8298 truck. I’ve never been c6a87f02e2 stung by a 91d3ca13be bee or hit e399d1a8a8 by a truck, d2d014d47f but still, the 909a42e490 fact was that a95450aa9e I had just be2e0a7c2a been slapped by ccaff1465b the large man.c1774d1477aba85a

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. f21695b3fe673773
The heat 7229c79b4b burning on dfd2214a60 my skin dc922cf0e2 was nothing 40124e3bf6 compared to 975df761b5 the ringing fb179d1c55 in my 0d16edf279 ears and 0e957f74cb the pounding 3e945c37d5 in my 711e9087e0 chest that 9b56e89b4b followed.7931f913575bf926

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.” 50d369bdd097fe10
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.8c2554d99df002f0

“A-a call came in! It’s from a mad dog!”a5422333739f05b5
The lower-ranking gang fce06648ea member, looking unsure b87de52b92 of what to e4122b21b1 do, handed over 01ab64a0bc the phone. The redhead reached for 78a0214a94 it, but the large b6edfff584 man was quicker. He shoved the bf9c4162f7 redhead’s collar down cddcaf86c1 and snatched the c0b072f67a phone away.4e65126ac65e1ba1

His voice, unusually 3131a23172 low, echoed eerily 9cc3eedfcc through the speaker, 7cd6c043a0 sounding almost like c8bc9207f2 a whisper from 58cef99ffd a devil deep 83369f56a1 in a cave.d31b1a1eb25aaa40
Of course, I’ve never 71a08007c6 met a devil, but 3f25586ee6 what mattered was how 964781426b strangely comforting that voice 9307045285 felt to me.My God. I saw stars when 6e1fb83241 I was hit earlier. Unless I’m crazy, there’s no way I’d feel comforted by such a lunatic.c0de59a372ebca02

Even though 2542ed7900 I could b87d9e24ca only hear a51d6ab481 the voice, a842938c69 it was 7f73606f80 chilling. It seemed b1c1eae9b6 like he 4518c478bb wanted to 87136123cb speak with 32fcaf4269 me, and c75a1e8c51 the atmosphere 7dc3fa5b1d was such 2f11e6f9e4 that if 6bfaf619ec he didn’t fb04b765ab switch, something 2f63646752 bad would 6cdd3d1e35 happen. 7d2f2cae84e13e96
It seemed like 578b00f552 everyone in the f9dabaa676 basement shared the 7cb509f43f same thought, as 1bd3dee5f5 they all just ee72f3c571 moved their eyes, 2ae9e95978 glancing nervously at 0099008cd3 the large man.584aac6973d7e02b

The large 52a59a4728 man, who be1e42a1cc had been 87f1c357df jabbering, fell 20a9678f80 silent. Unlike when he f256b151da was fighting fiercely c73bf67be5 with the redhead, 4d19643d9c he didn’t even 2a140833f7 try to speak, fce48b1e36 just hesitated in cf9da638dd front of Theo. 60284efb57c0cfba
In that moment, d049453319 the redhead snatched 6d33bd901a the phone and 58235ce1ad held it to 6989e6fe2f my lips, giving f8aba0a7ba me a silent 33ea4b352d look, signaling for 896b3e55df me to speak.9024dcdfbbfb925a

It was the 2aaf4ef7b2 same “hello,” but 52fb3ea372 his tone was c5e481558f different. It felt like dc035621c0 some kind of 1a061ae149 wordplay, almost like 328122de32 a “Yes, honey1,” and 4114e71831 the redhead dba5487a63 holding the 9e5d7245e5 phone in 70ce44b425 front of f67ab3f1c5 me smirked c3869ca3ab broadly.7dcdaf4f90b60b9a

As laughter and a 8fb4a085b4 sigh mixed in his 415962410b voice, the redhead’s expression 7fe13a9a86 grew even more peculiar. It reminded me of 76923c2752 my mom, who would b2e6aef849 get all into her cb7980855b morning drama, or my e43870cd39 sister’s disgusted reaction after 216959a038 unintentionally witnessing the twins’ d93db2f9e9 affection for each other. b0a4d144a4925d24
No matter how 735c0cb82f I looked at fb0bddd830 it, the usual 78fedde065 expression of a de76bf1676 kidnapper was nowhere 16bbb78009 to be found, f61f64d62d and Theo, who d9df661e16 was making such 17f988ad1e remarks to the abc8ff8b3e victim of the ff670fe288 kidnapping (me), was 15a88a83dc just as much e8c89b1954 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. The moment I saw it, the content was so shocking that I couldn’t hide my expression.15d2ecfb61773c3a
