First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

Chapter 316 Moderne technology

The man's demeanor was one of panic as he led Isiah to where Ciel and Lexie were hooked up to various medical devices. He eagerly nodded in agreement as Isiah suggested disconnecting Lexie first, but his fear was palpable as he warned Isiah about the importance of the child.

  "You just have to know that the kid... the kid is very important... I mean... they are not going to let you take it," he stammered, his eyes darting around nervously.

Isiah's already intense anger boiled over at the man's words. "What do you mean by 'they'?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.

The man trembled visibly as he responded, "The government. The kid's folder was traced with red. Only important people get that color. However, I don't know why... there was nothing written in his folder."

It was clear that the man was treading on thin ice, desperate to avoid saying anything that could provoke Isiah into violence. 

But the information he provided only served to stoke Isiah's fury further, leaving him more determined than ever to protect Ciel and uncover the truth about what was happening to him.

As the man disconnected Lexie from the devices and injected her with something to wake her up, Isiah stood by her side, but kept a distance. He had an air of detachment about him as he watched the scene unfold. 

As Lexie slowly opened her eyes, she saw Isiah standing there, wearing the guard's uniform. Relief washed over her as she shouted :" Isiah help …Isiah ….please help me …" .

It seemed as if she woke up from a bed dream.

Isiah remained stoic, unmoved by her cries. It was clear to him that Lexie had been through a lot during her captivity, and she was understandably distressed. But he couldn't afford to show any signs of weakness. He watched her from a distance, careful not to get too close.

As she sat up, tears streaming down her face, she noticed the changes in Isiah's appearance. His body, face, and hair had all undergone a transformation. But she didn't say anything about it. Instead, she touched her burned hand and looked at Isiah with pleading eyes.

"I still have my hand!" she exclaimed, as if to reassure herself.

Then, through her tears, she asked the question that had been weighing heavily on her mind: "Isiah...what took you so long?"

Isiah remained silent for a moment, his expression inscrutable. Then, in a low, measured voice, he said, "Is Ciel okay ? " 

Isiah's heart sank as he watched Ciel burst into tears upon awakening. He couldn't bear to see the child in such pain and agony, and he quickly rushed to his side. He held Ciel tightly as the boy cried onto his chest, not wanting to let go.

Isiah's anger boiled inside him as he looked towards the man who had led him to Ciel and Lexie. He demanded to know what they had done to Ciel, wanting to understand the extent of the harm caused to the young boy.

As Ciel clung to him, Isiah listened intently as the man revealed that Ciel's importance had been flagged by the government, leading to their experimentation on him. 

The weight of the situation hit Isiah like a ton of bricks, and he couldn't believe the level of cruelty that had been inflicted on this innocent child.

Isiah held Ciel tightly in his arms, feeling his small body shaking with sobs. He could sense the fear and desperation in the child's voice, and he knew that he had to get them out of there as soon as possible.

" Isiah , I'm scared, " Ciel said .

"I won't let them hurt you again, Ciel. We're getting out of here, all three of us," Isiah said, trying to reassure the young boy.

The man looked at them both, his expression a mixture of fear and guilt. He knew that he had put himself in danger by helping Isiah, but he couldn't bear to see them suffer anymore.

Isiah just looked at the man and hit him with a dark spell, the one that could kill him if he wanted to, the same spell he used in the past so many times,  the man was very scared of him and completely at his mercy, he bowed on the ground and said : " Please spare my life, please don't kill me, please  I will do whatever you want, please don't kill me " 

Isiah's eyes flashed with anger and he raised his hand, ready to strike the man down. But then he paused and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He realized that he couldn't just kill the man because he still needed him .

Instead of killing him immediately, he looked at the man with a cold stare. "You will do exactly as I say," he said in a low, menacing voice. "If you try to run or betray me, I will not hesitate to end you. Do you understand?"

The man nodded quickly, fear etched on his face. Isiah knew he had the upper hand now, and he intended to use it to his advantage.

"Good," he said, his voice softening slightly. "Now, I need you to help me get them out of here. And you will do everything in your power to keep them safe. If anything happens to them, I will hold you personally responsible and kill you …you know I am not hesitant about killing people."

The man nodded again, more vigorously this time. Isiah could see that he was truly terrified of him, and he knew that he could use that fear to his advantage.

"Alright then," he said, his voice cold and firm. "Let's go."

"Listen, I know a way out of here. It's risky, but I can guide you through the underground tunnels that connect this facility to the outside," the man said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Isiah looked at the man skeptically. He knew that he couldn't trust him completely, but at the same time, he had no other choice. He nodded his head in agreement, and the man led them towards a hidden doorway that opened up to a dark and narrow tunnel.

As they made their way through the damp and dimly lit passageway, Isiah held onto Ciel tightly, trying to shield him from any potential danger. His mind was racing with questions and uncertainties, but he knew that he had to stay focused on getting them all to safety.

Isiah's mind was racing with thoughts about this new world he found himself in. He had spent most of his life as Isiah  living a rural existence on Delwias Island and then later in the Emperium. 

This modern city life was something entirely different, and he knew he had to be careful. The advanced technology and complex societal structures were  not foreign to him, and that is why he had to be careful to not get caught.

He realized that he needed guidance, someone who knew their way around this new world. 

The man who had helped them escape the factory seemed to be the only one he could turn to for help. Isiah knew he had to be cautious around him.

The man knew  that Isiah was more powerful than any of the people who had been holding them captive. If he was with Isiah, then nothing could hurt them.

The man led them to his place in the city, driving them there in his car. He didn't seem to care about the risk of being caught with Isiah because he knew that Isiah's power was a force to be reckoned with.

As they drove, Isiah sat next to the window with Ciel in the middle and Lexie on the other side. Lexie had been silent since they left the factory, and Isiah couldn't help but feel ignorant about her.. 

Eijar was still around his neck, and he couldn't believe that she had been unconscious all this time.

He looked out the window, taking in the familiar sights and sounds of the city. 

Isiah's heart sank as they arrived at the man's modern apartment complex, surrounded by cameras and neighbors. He knew they had to be cautious and avoid showing their faces on camera. Isiah quickly asked the man for a layout of the building's cameras and led them to the elevator, determined to reach their destination undetected.

As they rode the elevator up to the eighth floor, Lexie and Ciel looked around in awe at the modern technology surrounding them. Isiah could see the surprise on their faces and decided to reassure them. "Don't worry, nothing is going to hurt us here," he said with a confident smile.

Isiah scanned the apartment, taking note of the modern amenities and advanced technology. He could see the various electronic devices and gadgets scattered throughout the space, and he couldn't help but feel a little out of place. He was more accustomed to the rural lifestyle of Delwias Island and the simplicity of the Emperium.
