Chapter 222 - Consumer Culture
"In the expansion pack, you will again be provided with some carnal time with the subject. But this time, all ten people will be summoned at once. I hope you know what that entails.
Isn"t this experience pack 03 very exciting? It is open for auction now.
Let the bid for first place begin."
Eren said out loud in Ronny"s voice. One could hear and feel a tinge of excitement in that speech somewhere.
"10,000 Extols."
"12,000 Extols."
…
…
The bidding value of first place began to escalate quickly. Eren couldn"t help feeling a tinge of excitement as he conducted the auction.
"You like framing guys for rapes, right? Now you can legitimately make that claim against 10 of your bidders."
Eren thought to himself. He felt that most of his grievances from the past timeline had been alleviated considerably. He did think of fu*king Sienna up pretty well. But every time he saw her, he would feel an almost uncontrollable desire to cut her into a thousand pieces.
Eren"s hate for Sienna was too strong for him to even think of doing the deed she had accused him of doing. Her visage would send his blood rus.h.i.+ng to his brain instead of towards his groin. That was because he couldn"t find it in him to see her as a woman.
The bidding price for the first place was the highest. Then it slowly depreciated with each pa.s.sing place. But Eren didn"t mind. He was just happy raking Extols while having his vengeance.
********************
Eren did not simply drug Sienna to make her unable to exert her ranking power. He had also administered her with a hallucinogenic that would induce panic attacks. Jake"s father Jack brought him the potion, which Agatha delivered to him a few days before the plan started.
Eren didn"t administer Sienna with an aphrodisiac because he didn"t want her to feel joy while she was being devoured by those ten degenerate rankers. He wanted the experience to make a deeper mark on her psyche, just like the Recluse Rap*ist incident had happened to him.
The panic-inducing hallucinogenic potion he had administered to the scion of Slughorn would keep her senses intact for the most part. She would be aware of what was happening with her and around her. However, the potion caused her to see things exaggeratedly, triggering her sense of fear and alarm.
*******************
"What is this? Aaaaah!
Why are there monsters surrounding me?
Help, help…. Ken… help me… these monsters would kill me.
Help… someone…anyone…"
The experience pack 03 was unveiled in front of everyone. Sienna was pinned to the ground by the same middle-aged man who had won first place in the bidding. He beat her up a bit and made her scream before he could get on with the deed. Her scream was what gave him the hard-on in the first place.
Nine degenerate rankers surrounded the duo, waiting patiently for their turn. There were seven men and three women who had won the bid for experience pack 03. The lady with the sweet voice who had won the first experience pack was also among them. But she was a little disappointed because this was not how she wanted to enjoy her pack.
The lady was also thinking that she had seen the girl somewhere or read an article or two with her image. But she wasn"t sure. Eren had already declared that the experience pack 03 would be special. As a result, she just a.s.sumed Sienna must be a rising star of her generation in Edinburgh.
Sienna kept screaming as she felt she was getting ra*ped by devils from h.e.l.l and beyond. The emotional impact of being defiled was getting heightened even further by the hallucinogenic potion Eren had administered her.
The first place bidder was soon done with his deed. Sienna was given a vial of recovery potion by Eren to keep her in her sense.
Sienna was energized by the recovery potion as soon as Ron forcefully made her drink it. As a result, her suffering resumed and intensified even further with each pa.s.sing bid winner.
Soon all the placeholders had their turns. Everyone took a breather to cool off and talked to each other while smiling. Eren served the partic.i.p.ants snacks and drinks to please them even further.
To Eren, every partic.i.p.ant who paid him Extols was his valued customer. He didn"t even glance at the freeloaders, much less offer them snacks or beverages.
If he had his way, Eren would just put the freeloaders through the same form of torture as the one Sienna was facing. He would also curse their seven generations for wasting his time and resources. Scrooge in him was a staunch supporter of consumer culture after all.
Now that the default experience pack 03 was over, it was time for the promised expansion pack. The partic.i.p.ants were energized and the subject was terrified. That was because she was seeing the devils eyeing her with their piercing gazes that spoke volumes about their hunger for more.
Sienna felt like dying was a better option than feeling the things she was feeling. She wanted to kill herself but the partic.i.p.ants surrounding her would make sure that nothing of that sort happens. They had paid a hefty amount to the wretched auction organizer. Now they needed their money"s worth.
Sienna would have settled for staying unconscious throughout the whole event. But Eren had made sure that every bit of pain and agony she feels by getting violated is etched onto her very soul.
The expansion pack unfolded just the way Eren wanted it to. He had already arranged a couple of refres.h.i.+ng rooms along with a few sets of basic amenities so that partic.i.p.ants could clean themselves up.
Sienna was still awake. But she was now an empty husk of her former self. The formally arrogant-to-the-bones girl didn"t even speak or cry anymore. Her tears had run dry.
Now she was looking blankly into the void as if wondering what had gone wrong in her life.
