Chương 68: GUEST IN THE MANSION (I)

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: TO BE YOUNG ~ ANNE MARIE]

Lily took a step back, dropping the picture in the process. She rubbed her clammy hands on her dress, then she gulped.

"T-that, but they..." she said in a low tone.

Raven got to his feet, picking up the picture, he placed it carefully back inside the box. His eyes looked at the girl. "What is it, Puffin?" he asked casually.

"The children, they are..." her voice trailed off. She couldn't say what she had seen.

Raven watched the girl's movement. Unlike in the past, she didn't run. She was scared, but she didn't run away from him. It was a small progress.

"That's my family, where I grew up," he said to the girl.

Lily inhaled deeply. The children she had seen in the picture had a crown-like object on their heads, which was connected to a bigger machine. All of them were dressed in white. She didn't know so much, but she knew that those children were being used for some kind of experiment.
