5. The victim wanted to get kidnapped

Ryan alarms rang and quickly turned off the alarm. He woke up, it was just like a regular day. He refreshed himself for a morning jog. It was his regular routine to exercise. It was a regular activity. He would do it without thinking about it, it was a habit now. Ryan went outside for a jog. He always used to take a round of the city which would keep him fit.

He came to the same narrow road where he killed the thug a few days ago. He was not guilty or pitied by that thug. If he ever angered a mighty figure his case would be even worse than it. The world was ruled by power and it was not a big thing for the ants to get crushed by mighty powerhouses. He hoped that he will be cautious enough to not get stamped on by some mighty figure.

Now, it was getting brighter a little. It was still mostly dark. The night was turning into day. His eyes fell on a girl who was standing with a support of a wall on the same narrow road. As if she was waiting for someone. She had an expressionless face. He could only see a cap on her head and an expressionless face. He felt weird as it was not the time to wait there. He didn’t care and just wanted to pass and ignore her completely.

Ryan continued to jog when he came near the girl. He saw a smile on her face. He quickly understood that she was waiting for him. Before he could do anything, a hand grabbed his shoulders from behind. It was tight. Ryan tried to free himself but he couldn't because the grip was too strong for him. Ryan turned around to see whose hand it was.

He saw a white-haired person with a white beard. This old man didn’t have a single black hair on him. This man wasn't old but ancient. Ryan could say from the build-up and muscle that the old man had long surpassed the limits of human beings. Ryan had a bunch of questions in his mind. But before he could ask even one.

He smells chloroform. The girl had covered his mouth with a handkerchief soaked in chloroform. He could move his hands a little. They both were martial artists or ability holders.

He was getting KIDNAPPED!

Ryan tried to struggle at first but gave in later. He had no confidence to go against both of them. He led them to kidnap him so that he could find an opening later and escape from them. It was the best possible he could think of.

He gave in and let them kidnap him gently and smoothly. by revolting, he could make things harder for them. after checking for strength he understood that he was not a match for them, then why should he break his arms revolting against them?

In a matter of seconds, Zelda was shocked as this guy wasn’t struggling at all. As if he wants them to kidnap him. It was the first that Zelda experienced such a situation. She was completely awestruck and stunned for a few seconds. She never thought that she would see such a situation in her wildest dreams.

Ryan wondered how the kidnappers got to know about his wealth. He was highly cautious. no one except him knew how much money he had. just because of one mistake he was going to lose the fruits of his hard work years. "how can he be so careless?" Ryan asked himself.

Soon, Ryan passed out. He lost consciousness.

The old man laughed, “The more I get to know him the more I get interested in him.”

It was their first gentle kidnapping. The victim wanted to get kidnapped!

The old man lifted the boy and carried him on his shoulder. The old man and girl walked on a bright day kidnapping a boy of Leo’s grant. They disappeared before the sun's first rays of light fell on the ground. No one knew what happened in the blue star city, the first thing in the morning.

Ryan had no idea how his life was going to turn around upside down.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

An unknown amount of time had passed by.

Ryan opened his eyes. He found himself lying on a hard surface. It was definitely not his bed. His vision was blurry, there was a black spot in front of his eyes. Ryan’s vision got clear, the black spot was a bag which was in front of him. The bag was tied to his hand.

Ryan was a little perplexed to find himself sleeping in a plain grass field. He thought he would open his eyes in an interrogation room. Ryan got up and looked around, there were many such people lying on the grass like him. They were deep in sleep. he felt a little joyful inside that he was not only the one who got kidnapped. Everyone lying on the ground had the face same thing, he was going to face.

He looked around and didn’t find a single building around. He only saw tall trees around. He realized there was something in his fist. He quickly opened his fist. There was a yellow chit in his hand. Ryan opened the chat. There were two points on the chit.

Don’t kill humans

Survive till midnight.

Ryan left the chit aside for a while. He took his bag and went near a tree. He realized that the universe had grown bigger or he had grown smaller. The trees… They were not tall trees but giant trees. Even the grass near it was like wheat fields tall. He could tell something was different about the place he was in. the air felt so different and weird to him. He was sure that he was on another planet.

Ryan was able to climb the trees with a lot of difficulties. He didn’t want to be in the middle of the humans. If they all were kidnapped they won’t be as calm as him. He recalled that humans can’t kill humans according to the yellow chit!

Then

SURVIVE FROM WHAT!?
