The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world

Chapter 175 Ch 173: The Depths Of Mind [Pt1]

"M-Mom? How is that possible? The last time I saw her-"

Liza remembered how her mother had left home as soon as her brother had left it. She had not been able to take her husband's tyranny and had left to find her dear son to be reunited with.

Liza had been really little back then and she had not understood what had happened. It was not until recently that she realized that her mother's hand left because no one else had been enough for her.

And that had worsened the hatred she felt for her brother.

But surprisingly enough, the hatred and the pain felt diluted right now. It did not seem to matter that her brother had broken her family apart since Liza could not feel a connection to them.

'They are nothing compared to my mission. I need to prioritize my mission above anything and everything. Is this how Khole felt as well? I see so that is why he left.'

There were emotions inside Liza that were fighting for supremacy. But she did not know what to do with these emotions. Most of them were useless to her anyway so it did not matter to her much.

But these confusing emotions were making her a little confused and irritated.

"Don't get sucked into this space. It is all an illusion created by the central cord. It is capable of doing this to a human's mind."

Khole's voice sounded far too close to Liza's ear and she instantly took a step forward as she turned to face him.

"What the hell, bro? Make some noise next time you try to whisper in my ear. You almost have me a heart attack."

Khole looked surprised at the lack of violence he saw from Liza. As far as he remembered, she always tried to attack him as soon as anything related to thier family was brought up in any way.

So to see her not only attack Khole in this situation but also try to keep her calm was a new one. It caused Khole's eyes to go wild in surprise that even made Liza notice it.

"What is it? Why are you looking at me like I am some weird and invasive specie you want to study next? Ewww, get your eyes off me and tell me how we can get out of here."

The more Liza spoke, the wider Kholes smile became. He seemed to be planning something inside his devious mind of his but Liza was afraid to even ask him what he was thinking.

Luckily for her, she did not have to ask him what he was thinking since he decided to speak on his own.

"Ah, I guess you decided to finally grow up. I wonder what path you will choose to go on next. Maybe you can even join me in my experiment and help out the field of science."

"Yeah, no thanks. One crazy guy in my life is enough for me."

"Ugh, what happened to me? I feel like I slept for a long time but I never sleep such dreamless nights, right?"

Diantha tried to wake up, only to find herself in a predicament. She was still strapped down to the surgical table right in the middle of the room. It had never been changed and she was not sure how long she had been here.

Threw as also an educating feeling in the pit of her stomach that told her that more than 'a few' drugs had been pumped into her system.

"No, wait. Calm down Diantha. This is all an illusion that will come to an end soon. There is no need for you to get all agitated and cause trouble."

Diantha tried to calm herself down but it was difficult to do. The panic was rising in her chest and Diantha needed not to let it take control of her emotions. She still needed to make sure she went back in one piece.

But of course, her instincts were not easy to calm down. Especially after she heard a familiar pair of footsteps heading her way. It belonged to the doctor who had caused her all these problems during her childhood.

"Ohhh, goody. Look at you, my dear sweet experiment. It seems like you woke up at the wrong time. And to think that I was about to perform another experiment on you just now. Oh well, you will just have to endure the pain this time."

Diantha hated how sweet and cuddly the doctor made her voice sound. It did not suit a sadistic lady such as the doctor.

"Let me go you bitch. I have killed you once and I am sure that I can kill you again. Your fate is something that has been already written."

Diantha promised those words as she tried to losen her binds. These cuffs holding her down seemed to be made up of steel and she knew that she could break them apart.

But the difficult part would be to escape after she was free. This place was like a maze and Diantha did not trust her memory to take her out of the maze any longer. After all, she had tried her hardest to bury these memories.

"Ara~ these binds are not going to break so easily my dear. You see, we took precautions after you escaped last time and we made them even stronger than before. And also, it's time for us to begin the main experiment. I hope you are ready."

Diantha was ready to kill this bitch. But she could not even move so what hope did she have?

It was also then that she turned her head around and locked eyes with a familiar pair. Shizue had somehow snuck into this room and she was currently observing what was happening in front of her.

'HELP ME OUT'

Diantha mouthed toward the figure of that hunched girl in the corner of her eyes before she was forced to look at the doctor once again. It had not gone well with the doctor when she had been ignored.

"Hey, you are supposed to pay attention to me at all times. It seems like I will need to educate you a little more about manners and whatnot before I let you free."

Diantha knew what would come next. She was no stranger to the pain and suffering this facility could bring to the children who lived there. Especially to those who were 'gifted'.

This jail was not going to be the end of Diantha.

//////////////////////////////////

Shizue felt conflicting emotions as she walked behind her 'childhood' friend. These people surrounding her were the ones who were supposed to be dead now. If possible, she did not want to see them.

But she also knew she had no choice but to see them in these hallucinations.

"Hey Shizue, are you alright? You are a little too quiet right now."

Shizue quickly pulled her face up and shook her head in denial. She did not want to show her hesitant side to the people she loved. Be it real life or hallucinations, she always wanted to maintain her composure.

"N-No, I am alright. I was just thinking about something for now. Ah, you all should head in now and I will be there in a sec"

The children looked a little confused at her refusal. Shizue was someone easygoing and quick to fit in groups. She hardly ever refuted anything as well.

A younger child was about to ask her a difficult question and Shizue braced herself to answer when she was saved by one of the older students.

"She said she did not want to answer. You should keep your curiosity in check and let Shizue breathe, right?"

Shizue was thankful for the interference, even though she did not even remember half of these children in front of her. She still nodded to the one who had helped her out. It caused the child to blush and Shizue let out a fond smile.

Soon, the children left her behind and Shizue decided to start looking around. She knew from memory that there was another section in this building where the gifted children were kept,

She had always resented and admired those children. But she had never dared to check those other children out. But it was all going to change today.

Today, Shizue would uncover the truth of this prison-like facility and see what was hidden beneath its walls.

But what she did see did not reassure her even a little bit. It was a horrifying scene that caused human suffering and other emotions to emerge from Shizue's chest.

And it all started with a single pair of eyes looking at her and begging for help. Shizue was not sure she would be able to do anything but she still wanted to. The doctor experimenting was one she had never seen before either.

'Did such a place always exist in the depths of our home? No wonder everyone was killed in the end. They needed to quieten some mouths down to make sure this never went public.'

Slowly but surely, Shizue was beginning to understand just how rotten her past had been. And she was suddenly determined to destroy everything that had anything to do with this experiment and then some more.
