Ariah's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect the man to know her intention so quickly.
It seemed that she couldn't play dumb anymore...
Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, a harsh sound came from the radio. It seemed like the man had thrown down the microphone angrily.
Soon, Ariah heard footsteps coming.
Her heart was beating like a drum as she kept her eyes fixed on the door. The next second, with a 'bang', the door was opened.
Ariah swallowed hard and took a few steps back in fear.
She saw a shadow enter the room. Upon seeing the person's face clearly, she almost screamed.
He was wearing a... clown mask!
It was the clown who Jimmy had shot dead the other day.
Was the clown still alive?
No, it couldn't be. Ariah forced herself to calm down. Even if the person in front of her was wearing a clown mask, they might not necessarily be the same person.
Because Ariah saw that clown die in front of her.
So this person was definitely not the clown who kidnapped her the other day!
Taking a few more deep breaths, Ariah forced herself to cool down.
"Who the hell are you?"
The man wearing the clown mask walked towards her step by step. He didn't say a single word, but Ariah could feel the threatening aura coming from him and couldn't help but step back. "Don't... don't come over!"
Although she repeatedly told herself that the man in front of her was not the clown that day, she was still afraid.
She could still remember how it felt like to be in the dark and damp basement, despite she was strong inside.
"I'm warning you. Don't come over here!"
Finally, Ariah broke down and screamed.
The man stopped and sneered. "Tsk, I thought you were brave. As I said, if you anger me, you won't end well!"
"I didn't anger you. I was just trying to figure out who you are so that I can know whether you will hurt me or not!"
Ariah forced herself to say, "Anyone would do
that."
"Anyone? You're wrong. Anna didn't. Before you woke up, I went to see her and she was so scared that she broke down."
As he said that, he pointed at Anna behind the glass window. Anna's hair was disheveled and her face was filled with fear. Apparently, she was on the verge of going insane.
"But you're different. Not only can you be so calm, but you can even get me to spill the beans." The man continued as he walked around her, "You're much more interesting than Anna."
He sounded as if he had found an interesting prey, which caused Ariah to tremble.
"You know Anna?"
"Would you like to know how I got to know you two?"
"Yes."
The fact that he could easily guess what she was thinking had made her even more frightened.
"Well, I've known Anna a long time ago. As for you, I've been secretly watching you for quite a while."
