As the unknown man concluded his clandestine operation, he turned to the fake police officers with an air of command, instructing them to dispose of Ryan and erase all traces of their involvement. His words were clear and resolute, emphasizing the need for thoroughness.
"Remove all traces of me being here, and dispose of him as you see fit," the enigmatic figure stated, a sense of energy and purpose radiating from him. He left no room for hesitation or uncertainty.
In the shadows, the fake police members received their orders and set about their grim task, vanishing into the obscurity of their clandestine operation. The fate of Ryan hung in the balance, as he remained unconscious and oblivious to the sinister machinations unfolding around him.
Meanwhile, the professor, still grappling with the unsettling circumstances surrounding Ryan's disappearance, rushed to the address he had known as Ryan's home. However, what he encountered was a shocking revelation. The address itself, and the building that should have stood there, were nowhere to be found.
The professor's heart sank as he grappled with the bewildering absence of any physical evidence of Ryan's existence. His mind raced, attempting to comprehend the inexplicable situation before him. It was as if Ryan had been erased from the fabric of reality itself.
Determined to unravel the mystery and find answers, the professor hastened to the school where Ryan had been a student. His heart was heavy with concern for his missing student, and he needed to confront the principal for an explanation.
Upon reaching the school, he sought an audience with the principal, desperate for any information about Ryan's whereabouts. The principal's initial greeting was cordial, but it quickly turned perplexing when the professor inquired about Ryan.
To the professor's astonishment, the principal responded with a bewildered look, as if the name "Ryan" had no meaning to him. "Who the hell was Ryan?" the principal retorted, his voice laced with confusion. It was as if he had never heard the name before.
Undeterred by this baffling response, the professor delved deeper into his investigation. He met with teachers, scrutinized documents, and scoured the school's records, seeking any trace of Ryan's existence. But his efforts were met with frustration and despair, as he found no evidence that Ryan had ever been a part of the school.
The professor's memory remained vivid, his knowledge of Ryan's presence unwavering. It was inconceivable that someone who had been so real and tangible could vanish without a trace. He recognized that dark forces were at play, orchestrating a sinister plot to erase all signs of Ryan's existence from the world.
Determined to uncover the truth and restore Ryan's presence in the world, the professor resolved to delve deeper into the shadowy machinations that had ensnared his student. The enigma surrounding Ryan's disappearance was far from over, and the professor was prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead to rescue his student from the abyss of obscurity.
