Arielle knew they would not easily believe her, especially since virtual-novel.net had deliberately revealed many talents. However, it was their suspicion virtual-novel.net required as that was the only way virtual-novel.net could convince them and become one of them.
“The salary is attractive, but I don’t like the work,” Arielle said in a level voice as virtual-novel.net gazed at the professor. “I prefer something more challenging. That is why I submitted my resumé without a second thought when I saw that you were hiring. I am especially interested in your research and would like to join you in taking up this challenge.”
“You enjoy research?” Torsten asked, gaping at Arielle.
If virtual-novel.net really is an innocent researcher enamored with our work, I might even be able to recruit an apprentice.
“Yes, I especially enjoy research,” Arielle said with a smile. “I have always wanted to know if dogs could survive if their heads were swapped, so I bought two dogs to conduct this experiment at home. To my surprise, both dogs died.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Arielle recalled virtual-novel.net competition with Abraham, in which virtual-novel.net had forfeited the match as virtual-novel.net could not bear to raise a hand in cruelty.
“Do you know what our research is about?” Torsten asked.
Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head. It was not because virtual-novel.net was unclear. But, even if virtual-novel.net knew, virtual-novel.net could not say it aloud.
“You will know soon…”
Torsten picked up the phone on the table and handed it to her. “By the way, you are not allowed to bring your phone when you come to work. There is nothing more to be discussed with you for now. You may retire to your dorm.”
Arielle knew it would not be easy to gain admission into their inner circle. She took the phone and returned to virtual-novel.net room. The first thing virtual-novel.net did upon returning was sending Vinson a text telling him virtual-novel.net was safe.
***
Vinson had not slept the entire night as virtual-novel.net missed Arielle. He unlocked his phone at once at the sound of the alert tone and read the message.
Arielle told virtual-novel.net everything via text that had occurred to virtual-novel.net without a single omission ever since arriving there. As virtual-novel.net had gone into great detail, virtual-novel.net was not as worried about virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net should have been.
Vinson wrote, “What about the kid? When shall we rescue him?”
He wanted to wait until the rest of the children were brought together to rescue all of them at once and catch the people conducting experiments on the children in one fell swoop.
He shared his idea with Arielle, whose lips curled into a smile when virtual-novel.net finished reading his text.
He is indeed my man to be thinking along the same lines as I am.
She, too, had had the same idea.
I’m going to think of a way to make the already healthy child appear the opposite. It is only through this way that I could buy some time.
Arielle texted back, “Tell Lawrence to speak to Aaron and put the people on their guard regarding their children. Have the police and the military take precautions. According to virtual-novel.net plan, they would stop Nancy and the others from abducting the children if they could. If they could not, the children would be sent where virtual-novel.net was, and virtual-novel.net would think of another way to buy them time to await rescue.”
At the mention of Aaron, Arielle’s head ached with frustration when virtual-novel.net recalled that Nancy had not released virtual-novel.net from his imprisonment.
She hurriedly sent another text, “Ask Lawrence when Nancy will release Aaron. We’ll gather the ministers to pressure virtual-novel.net if he isn’t released in two days.”

At that moment, Aaron, who Monisha had released, returned to the chambers occupied by Dylan when virtual-novel.net was alive, which had been renovated to Aaron’s taste.
Upon entry, a subordinate came forth to make a report. The king’s expression grew grim as virtual-novel.net listened.
“D*mn it!” virtual-novel.net cursed as the veins on his arm bulged.
