Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 70 Lela's Experience

Sylvester tightly grabbed hold of Lela, restraining her. Perhaps awakened by the instinct to survive, Lela began to struggle but tragically realized that she was no match for Sylvester. With one hand securing her, Sylvester heard a click, and Lela's hands and feet were locked in place.

"Don't lock me up." Lela curled up, fear completely surrounding her. Her brain stopped functioning properly as images flooded her mind, like scenes from a movie. That's how they locked her up at the research institute.

Sylvester didn't notice anything wrong with Lela. He pressed her shoulders and looked into her reddened eyes. "Lela, you listen to me. You're a Mutant." Gasping for breath, Lela's body started trembling slightly as her consciousness scattered. "No, no, I'm so scared."

Mom!

Dad!

Big White...

No, Mom, Dad, and Big White are all gone.

Who else is there?

Who can save her?

Is there no one?

No, there's Sylvester.

Sylvester, Sylvester, where are you?

Save me!

It hurts so much.

"Don't want? Scared?" Sylvester pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him. His eyes filled with cruelty. "Lela, do you understand fear now?"

...

Lela had fallen into deep fear, where everything around her seemed irrelevant. Her once sensitive senses collapsed in an instant.

"Let me tell you, once your identity is exposed, if someone takes you away while I'm not paying attention, this will be your environment. They'll grab you and use these metal chains to restrain you, taking your blood day and night, torturing you."

...

Don't cut off her hands, don't chop off her legs, it hurts so much.

"The world isn't as beautiful as you think. There are all kinds of people online. You think they're not a threat, but perhaps you're their prey."

...

Don't burn her with fire, it hurts so much.

"You listen to me, the only safe place for you is by my side."

Don't let poisonous insects bite her, she's in pain and scared.

"My side is your only shelter for the rest of your life."

...

Don't electrocute her with electricity, she's bleeding, it hurts.

"Do you know how afraid I am? If, by any chance, your identity gets exposed because of this, and I can't protect you, if they capture you and kill you, what should I do? What should I do?" Sylvester's voice turned fierce. It wasn't clear whether he was tormenting Lela or himself.

...

Don't let her fall from a great height, she'll have multiple fractures, it hurts so much.

"I'm human, not a god, do you understand?"

Even if he had extraordinary abilities, he still felt fear.

At that moment, the unrivaled Crownless King, who shuttled between darkness and light, became flustered.

And none of this had actually happened; it was all hypothetical. But just imagining it made his heart ache unbearably.

It was strange that she had already occupied his heart without doing anything.

He couldn't live without her in his lifetime.

Couldn't be without his little thing.

...

Don't leave her in the freezing room, it's so cold, it hurts all over.

These experiments were utterly meaningless. Let her go, let her go!

"Lela, listen to me clearly."

Sylvester stared intensely at Lela, hoping to see an expression of remorse.

However, all he saw was her face growing paler and her body trembling more.

Sylvester finally realized that something was wrong. He gently tapped her cheek with his hand. "What's wrong with you?"

Lela tightly held onto his hand, her pupils dilating, her consciousness fading away. In a low whisper, she repeated, "Night... Sylvester..." "I'm here, I'm here," his voice trembling.

The next moment, unable to bear the torment of fragmented memories in her consciousness, Lela fainted.

Sylvester's breath hitched. He released the metal chains and carried Lela out in his arms...
