P.S. Hey reading buddies! In the previous chapter, I mentioned that Reo received 300 EXP points, but the correct number is actually 800.
Sorry for the mistake!

On the fifth floor of the prison of Treachery, called the Experimental Floor, in the extraction room.
Tile walls shine under shaky blue lanterns. A blood-stained iron table was in the middle, marked by years of awful deeds. Three cultists, their faces covered by blank, emotionless masks, moved like machines.
Their gray robes dragged on the floor as they set up their tools: glass vials, long needles, and a scary device with glowing red runes that seemed alive.
The iron door squeaked open, and two cultists dragged in a weak prisoner. His torn clothes barely covered his bruised, bony body, and his scared cries filled the room. "Please, no! Let me go!" His voice shook, too weak to fight as he stumbled forward.
