"Where are we heading though?" Jackie questioned nervously as we were entering a strange lane. It was dark.

"Towards the truth." Myura's words spooked Jackie.

"Wh-What do you mean? 'Towards the truth'? Stop scaring me--" She fell silent as soon as Myura put a finger on her lips, a signal to stay on our guards.

Jackie felt even more nervous, unsure of the situation. But soon enough, she regained her confidence and tried to keep up.

"This way." Myura said, finally taking a stop. It was a dead end. All of were confused until. . .

"Wait, isn't this the place where we confronted Cyno?" Jackie remembered.

"You're right." Myura replied, her voice as low as a whisper, but it still sounded spooky.

"Eek, was that the sound of water or blood?" Riko said.

"Who knows? Myura said, warily, " We can't be sure what's going on this place. Oh and yes, I believe that the room up ahead of us is one of the rooms used to carry out research, or you can say experiments."

"I don't get it. Do they perform experiments on people?" Jackie asked.

"Yes. Just like Jayden." Riko replied causally, but Jackie's reaction was unbelievable.

"Whaaaaaaaat? Can somebody tell me what's going on?"

"I know that, Ayako. But how is that related to Jayden?"

None of us were willing to answer that question. Without a word, we moved forward. In front of us was a very strange gate which held the sign, 'Caution: Experiments ongoing'.
