I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

Looking at the smiling Christensen in front of her, Saria frowned deeply and raised her voice.

"Of course! But we can't gamble with the lives of our patients and staff!"

"That situation should never have happened!"

However, before Christen could speak again, Ahrendts, who had been standing quietly to the side, spoke first: "Director Seria, please believe me, we are not completely unprepared for this."

Upon hearing Ahrendts's convenient words, Kristen again addressed Seria, saying, "As for Director Palvis's complaint that Director Seria wanted to overstep her authority and interfere in the Structural Engineering Department's internal projects..."

……

"..."

Saria watched the two people in front of her, who were about to resolve the matter in a coordinated manner, and fell into silence. At the same time, she slowly lowered her eyes to hide the fleeting disappointment in them.

She no longer had any desire to watch this farce unfold. After all, given the current situation, her presence wouldn't affect Kristen Wright's decision or the final outcome.

However, just as Saria was about to turn and leave, Christensen finished speaking and his gaze fell on her again.

"Director Seria, can you accept this outcome?"

"..."

This time, when faced with Christensen's question, Saria did not give any answer, but simply met the gaze of the person in front of her with her eyes full of disapproval.

"..."

After making eye contact with Saria, Kristen suddenly felt a strange sense of panic. She then picked up the envelope from the table with two fingers and, as if changing the subject, said to the person in front of her:

"By the way, the mayor sent a letter of thanks. This mission was completed very well, and it's all thanks to you."

"The rescue wasn't entirely successful; there are many unanswered questions, and I'm afraid there's still a lot of investigation to be done." Although she knew Christensen was trying to change the subject, Saria finally spoke up and gave her an answer.

"Moreover, Hayden's laboratory may have conducted illegal experiments, so it's not time to talk about credit yet."

“Müllseth has already reported to me, but the mayor’s only request is for rescue.” After hearing Saria’s words, Christen raised a slight brow and said in a calm tone.

Although it wasn't stated clearly, the meaning behind the words was self-evident.

"There are clearly problems with Hayden Lab. If this isn't thoroughly investigated, there will be even more victims!"

"No, no investigation was conducted. The mission ends here."

until."

"...Are you trying to cover up the truth again? Suppress public opinion, erase evidence, and let Hayden Laboratory get away with it?!"

……

After another pointless argument with Christensen about the mission, Saria, filled with mixed emotions of resentment and disappointment, turned and left the office.

However, although she did not win against Christensen in the office, Seria did not intend to give up her investigation, even though she had repeatedly encountered setbacks so far.

Because, just as she said, she wouldn't let the illegal lab that harmed Ifrit continue to get away with it and hurt more people... She would definitely find out the truth.

P.S.: It's almost over! Later on, Saria can take her current wife and child and have sex with her. Snake is overjoyed.

Okay, now let me recommend a book.

Chapter 103 Experimental Results

While Seria and Kristen were confronting each other, Mebius was also in his laboratory, preparing the things needed for his experiment.

At the same time, Sakura also received the volunteers for this experiment and took them to the place that Möbius had prepared in advance.

To be on the safe side, Möbius did not choose to leave Rhine Lab himself. Instead, he had Sakura summon him directly from the prepared house.

This created the impression that she had not left the Rhine Life headquarters building.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sakura."

After being summoned, Möbius glanced down at the volunteer who was lying on the experimental bed with his eyes closed, and said.

"It's just my duty. I'm happy to help you complete your doctoral studies in this area." Upon hearing this, Sakura gently curled the corners of her lips and replied in a gentle tone.

"Heh~ Go back and rest, Sakura. I'll have to trouble you again tonight." After hearing Sakura's words, Mebius, who had been in a bad mood all day, couldn't help but chuckle, and his bad mood eased a little.

"Well, I'll head back now. Good luck, Doctor. Remember to let me know when you're done with the experiment, and I'll summon you back." A hint of helplessness flashed in Sakura's beautiful azure eyes as she looked at the curve of Möbius's lips before giving him these words of advice.

"it is good."

After a brief farewell, Sakura left discreetly. Her sleep schedule had been disrupted and her tasks numerous these past few days; she really needed to go back and rest.

……

After Sakura left, Möbius turned his attention to the unconscious volunteer and then began preparations for the experiment.

As for why the volunteer was unconscious, it was because neither Sakura nor Mebius wanted to reveal their identities or the details of the experiment.

Moreover, it's more accurate to say the volunteers were under anesthesia rather than in a coma.

These things were not done on Mebius's own initiative, but were written into the terms and conditions. The volunteer had already agreed to all the terms before accepting the offer.

After all, while Snake's bottom line is flexible, it still has its limits. She doesn't like having clueless lab mice on her lab table.

After preparing all the instruments and other equipment, Mebius then summoned Bianca.

"Get ready, Bianca." With that, Möbius leisurely retrieved a cage of laboratory animals from the side and placed it in front of the girl, continuing:

"To prevent you from getting nervous and making mistakes in the experiment, let's try it again with this one~"

"Ah."

Looking at the experimental animals placed in front of her, Bianca nodded slightly, having no objection to Möbius's arrangements.

Rather, she'd love to do it this way. If she were asked to fight right from the start, she would feel very uncomfortable and nervous.

After all, there's a significant difference between experimenting on animals and experimenting on humans...

……

After conducting another successful experiment on animals, Möbius and Bianca then turned their attention to the volunteers on the lab table.

"call……"

However, compared to Mebius, who had a calm and unfazed expression, Bianca was much less composed.

While it wouldn't be described as fear, the feeling of experimenting on people still brought a sense of unfamiliarity and tension to the goose.

"Heh~ Is our mighty [Radiant Knight] afraid?" Mebius chuckled and teased, glancing at Bianca, who was clearly nervous.

"?"

"Mebius, stop joking around at a time like this!"

Bianca was taken aback by Mebius's sudden teasing, but after realizing what he meant, she said irritably.

"Hmm? Wasn't I just telling the truth? [Bright Knight] has already written his thoughts all over his face."

"?..."

Bianca felt a surge of anger after being suddenly interrupted by Mebius's outburst, but the tension and unfamiliarity she had felt earlier also subtly disappeared.

"Alright, now that we're ready, let's begin." With that, Möbius walked to the instrument next to him, preparing to start recording the relevant data.

"Oh, by the way, I probably don't need to tell you the extent of this person's treatment."

"I know, I won't let her fully recover."

After hearing Mebius's words, Bianca nodded slightly and replied.

Afterwards, Dai'e stopped worrying, took out the Black Abyss White Flower from her spatial storage, walked to the volunteer's side, and prepared to begin her treatment.

It was an unspoken agreement between Bianca and Möbius to not completely cure the volunteers' Oripathy. It wasn't that the two were stingy or petty in not fully curing the people; they did this to protect the volunteers in the experiment.

A powerless, low-level infected civilian suddenly recovers from her illness and even receives a considerable amount of money. In this situation, even if she truly knows nothing about it, her fate is self-evident...

As for the volunteer being stubborn, he kept his recovery a secret after returning home and continued with his life. Don't worry, there will be people who care... Neither Möbius nor Bianca ever underestimated the darkness of human nature.

Therefore, from the very beginning, both of them focused on alleviating and treating "ordinary people," at least before the advent of Oripathy treatments.

……

With Bianca's focused and precise control, the black mist generated by the Abyss carefully decomposed the Originium particles and crystals within the volunteer's body.

Whenever she decomposes a relatively large Originium crystal, Bianca stops and uses White Flower's abilities to heal and repair the volunteer, preventing severe bleeding in certain organs.

This process continued until the amount of Originium particles in the volunteer's body decreased to the level the two had expected, at which point Bianca stopped the treatment.

"You've worked hard, take a rest. I'll examine her from now on." Möbius slowly walked to the lab table with the instruments, patted Bianca on the shoulder, and said.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Bianca nodded slightly and stepped aside. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals.

After a thorough examination, Mebius reached his final conclusion.

"The volunteer is in good condition. The amount of Originium particles in his body has been greatly reduced, and the original complications of Oripathy have also been cured."

"The experiment was a success. That concludes this afternoon's experiments. I'll contact you again tonight if needed."

Looking at the data on the instrument in his hand, Möbius calmly told Bianca the final results.

P.S.: There's another one later, but it probably won't be very early. I haven't been feeling well lately, so I'm writing slowly despite the pain, and my sleep schedule is all messed up.

Chapter 104 The Seduction of Möbius

Finally, to avoid trouble, and just to be on the safe side, after sending Bianca back, Mebius borrowed Rita to clean up the mess.

This included, but was not limited to, safely transporting volunteers still under anesthesia home. After finishing up, Möbius and Rita quietly returned to where they belonged.

After returning to her laboratory, Mebius didn't rest. She began to organize the data she had collected and adjust the anesthetic in her hand to make it more suitable for Ifrit's current condition.

After these things were done, the sun, which had been hanging in the sky, gradually slid down, leaving behind only a brilliant, fiery red sunset cloud in the sky.

"Kaka..."

Setting down what she was holding, Möbius slowly stood up and stretched her limbs, which had become stiff from sitting for so long. After several more days of continuous work, even she could not hide her exhaustion.

After all, fusion warriors are only physically or mentally strong, but in reality, they also feel tired and hungry.

Mebius hadn't felt it while she was working with great concentration, but now that she had stopped, fatigue and hunger overwhelmed her.

It's worth noting that because of Ifrit's unexpected situation, Möbius, who was in a rush to prepare for the experiment at noon, didn't even have time to eat a bowl of instant noodles...

"Goo~"

"Well……"
