Aveline wanted to stop the car, but the man in the backseat seemed to sense her intention. He warned her, "If you dare stop, I'll stab you. I don't care about living anymore!" Terrified, Aveline didn't dare to pull over and continued driving. He might be ready to die, but she wasn't!

Her voice trembled as she asked, "W-what do you want?"

The man didn't answer.

Instead, he pressed the knife against her neck harder, as if to teach her a lesson. The blade lightly sliced her skin, just enough to draw blood.

A chill ran down Aveline's spine, and only then did the searing pain register. Her brows knitted together in fear, and she dared not say another word.

This man was serious-he could kill her at any moment!

Who was he? Why had he kidnapped her? What was his goal?

The car continued along the road, soon leaving the city and reaching the location the man had specified.

The factory was long abandoned, its structure in disrepair and swaying with the autumn breeze. Scorched marks on the weathered walls hinted at a past fire, adding to the sense of decay. As Aveline looked at the place, a faint sense of familiarity tugged at her.

"Stop the car!"

The man commanded, and Aveline slammed on the brakes. He got out and immediately opened the driver's door, pressing the knife against her once more.

"Get out!"

Aveline didn't dare disobey. She unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car as instructed.
