Semua Bab I Died Once to Become Her Nightmare: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Elena couldn't move.She stared at Adrian.His body was still, but his eyes were no longer completely his.Silver light shimmered beneath his irises, spreading slowly like cracks through glass.Lucas stepped forward."Elena, get away from him."She didn't."Adrian?"His head tilted slightly.For a moment, nothing happened.Then his expression softened."Elena."It was his voice again.His real voice.She immediately reached for his hand."I'm here."His fingers closed around hers."I can hear it.""What?""The voice."Elena swallowed."What is it saying?"Adrian's breathing became uneven."It says I belong to it."Lucas grabbed a metal rod from the floor."Then we separate you from it."Adrian suddenly screamed.The machines exploded into motion.Lights flashed across the laboratory.Elena tightened her grip on his hand."Adrian!"He fell to his knees.Lucas rushed toward him."Don't touch him!"The source stepped between them."Wait."Lucas glared at it."He's being taken over.""No.

Elena stared at the words on the wall.SUBLEVEL 9 — ORIGINAL MEMORY CHAMBER.For several seconds, nobody moved.The underground corridor stretched ahead of them, dark and silent. Unlike the laboratory above, there were no alarms here. No flashing lights. No machines humming behind the walls.It was almost peaceful.That made Elena more nervous.“Sublevel Nine,” Lucas whispered.He looked as though he had just seen a ghost.Elena turned toward him.“You said this place didn't exist anymore.”“It wasn't supposed to.”“Why?”Lucas looked down the corridor.“Because our mother destroyed it.”Elena frowned.“She destroyed an entire facility?”“She tried.”“What happened?”Lucas hesitated.“She couldn't destroy everything.”Elena crossed her arms.“Tell me.”He sighed.“When I was young, I found a map in our mother's study. It showed the original Blackridge facility. There were nine levels.”“And?”“I asked her about it.”“What did she say?”Lucas looked at Elena.“She slapped me.”Elena bl

The explosion shook the entire chamber.Elena grabbed the nearest metal railing as the floor tilted beneath her feet.Dust poured from the ceiling.Glass shattered around them.“Move!” her mother shouted.Lucas pushed himself upright.“My leg…”Elena rushed toward him.“Can you stand?”He tried.Pain crossed his face.“I can.”“You're lying.”“I can still walk.”Adrian appeared beside them.“Put his arm around me.”Lucas hesitated.Then he accepted Adrian's help.Elena looked toward her mother.“Where's the exit?”Her mother pointed toward a narrow passage behind the main control room.“Through there.”“What about Grandfather?"Her mother shook her head.“We don't have time.”Elena looked back at the destroyed chamber.Her grandfather was gone.But she knew he wasn't dead.Not after everything he'd survived.“Then let's go.”They hurried into the passage.Behind them, another explosion rocked the facility.The ceiling cracked.Elena glanced over her shoulder.The memory chamber was co

The whispers grew louder.“Elena…”“Elena…”“Elena…”Hundreds of voices called her name from beneath the old Virelli estate.She stood completely still.Lucas looked around nervously.“Tell me I'm not hearing that.”“You're hearing it,” Elena said quietly.Adrian stared at the mansion.His eyes were still silver.“They're waking up.”Lucas tightened his grip on his weapon.“Who are they?”Adrian didn't answer.Elena looked at him.“Adrian.”He blinked.The silver disappeared.“They're memories.”“That doesn't explain anything.”“They're the memories that were never released.”Elena's stomach tightened.“From the chamber?”“No.”Adrian looked toward the mansion.“From the people who came before.”A cold breeze passed through the trees.The guards surrounding them suddenly stepped backward.Even they looked afraid.The man in the black coat raised his hand.“Take them inside.”Elena glanced at him.“You seem nervous.”His expression hardened.“Move.”Elena smiled faintly.“That wasn't a

“Bring my son home.”The voice echoed through the underground chamber.Adrian didn't move.Neither did Elena.For several seconds, the only sound was the faint hum of electricity running through the walls.Then Adrian whispered:“Mother?”The word sounded strange coming from him.Almost like he hadn't said it in years.The woman on the speakers laughed softly.“You remember me.”Adrian's face tightened.“I remember you dying.”“You remember what I wanted you to remember.”Elena looked at him.His hands were shaking.“Adrian…”He looked at her.“I don't know what is real anymore.”Elena stepped closer.“Then don't believe her.”A pause.The woman's voice returned.“Elena.”Elena froze.“You know my name.”“I know everything about you.”“Then come down here and say it to my face.”The speakers went silent.Adrian looked at Elena.“You shouldn't provoke her.”“Why?”“Because she doesn't make threats.”Elena's expression hardened.“She makes promises.”Adrian nodded.“Exactly.”The man in
