From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 83 Professor Erich can only suffer a little longer.

Louise's expression quickly became complicated; her brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up unnaturally.

What does "completely destroyed" mean?

"It means to completely destroy it."

Ye Xiao said matter-of-factly, "Those high-risk viruses are extremely dangerous, so we conducted a thorough disinfection of the forensic laboratory and the police station."

"Rest assured, I can guarantee with my integrity that there will be absolutely no future troubles."

Louise wouldn't worry about that.

Her only worry now is not having enough samples to report to her superiors.

Does Ye Xiao not even understand this simple thing?

"They didn't even keep a sample?"

Louise asked in a deep voice.

"No, the Public Health Committee did not make this request."

Of course they wouldn't dare make that request.

The Public Health Committee had just suffered a major embarrassment and dared not make any demands, wishing it could clean up the mess completely.

Ye Xiao was a bastard; he didn't even know how important that thing was.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing Louise's face growing increasingly gloomy, Ye Xiao asked with concern.

No, you did a great job.

Louise stared at Ye Xiao, almost gritting her teeth as she uttered those words.

She even suspected that Ye Xiao might be doing it on purpose.

But looking at Ye Xiao's upright expression, it seemed somewhat unlike him.

These students from the University of Tokyo seem to be overprotected; they have a strange naiveté and often say surprising things with a calm expression.

For example, why not go to the hospital when you're sick, and why not easily trust anyone, even if they're a police officer.

"Never mind, you should go and get some rest."

Louise waved her hand helplessly, not wanting to see Ye Xiao again.

This guy can bring good luck, but sometimes he can drive people crazy with anger.

Ye Xiao left the office and greeted several familiar police officers.

After getting back into the car, his expression suddenly turned serious.

Sure enough, Louise also set her sights on the virus.

Fortunately, he was prepared and cleaned up the samples in Williams' hands and the body of Ogushi Yoshitoshi perfectly.

Poor Daigushi Youxiang died in this foreign land without even leaving a trace of his ashes.

However, his death was not entirely meaningless; at least he brought Ye Xiao a precious purple extraordinary seed.

As Ye Xiao drove, he skillfully and slowly integrated the seeds he had obtained over the past few days into his body.

Accompanied by a familiar power, Ye Xiao soon saw a light screen appear in front of him.

The [Poison Resistance] trait is increased by one level.

Effect: Immune to any toxins that affect the body for 48 hours.

[Attribute Panel]

Willpower: Level 2 (42→73/100)

Speed: Level 2 (21→45/100)

Strength: Level 3 (5/100)

Physical fitness: Level 3 (1/100)

Mental ability: Level 2 (5→27/100)

Thanks to the seeds he had accumulated over the past few days, Ye Xiao's strength and physique were successfully raised to level 3.

To unlock higher-level seeds, you only need to improve the remaining three attributes.

However, the problem is that the conditions for obtaining the brainpower attribute are the most demanding.

The corpses Ye Xiao has recently collected, apart from Da Guan Youxiang, are mostly homeless people and gang members—low-level people with only a high school education, so their mental abilities haven't improved much.

Do we need to obtain the corpses of some highly intelligent individuals?

However, highly intelligent people generally have good living conditions, making it difficult for them to obtain these corpses.

Moreover, Ye Xiao now has another very troublesome problem.

What exactly is the virus on Yoshito Ogawa?

A couple of days ago, while Louise was in quarantine, Ye Xiao went to the outskirts of Washington State.

To his surprise, Klingan had not left and was still in the farm's refuge.

Moreover, he was in good condition and had accepted the reality of his resurrection. He spent his days looking at the various books that Ye Xiao had sent in.

Now it was Ye Xiao's turn to be confused.

If nothing happened in Klingen, then where did Yoshitoshi Ogawa get those viruses from?

Could it be that they developed it themselves?

Remembering that Yoshitoshi Ogawa was also a student at the University of Washington, Ye Xiao decided to go back to the school for a visit.

"Hello, Mr. Ye."

"Hey Ye, are you free tonight? I recently discovered a super fun bar, and the girls there are really good at having fun."

It's definitely more enjoyable to be surrounded by people like this!

Previously, Ye Xiao was a bully who could be bullied by anyone at school.

But now, especially after the incident involving Tomoaki Ozeki, he has become a prominent figure at the University of Washington.

Not only these students, but even some teachers began to curry favor with him.

New urban legends even began circulating at the school.

Some say that Ye Xiao has connections in Seattle, with influence in both the legitimate and underworld circles.

As long as he agrees, he can help resolve any issue.

Others say Ye Xiao is the godfather of the local Central Asian community, able to summon a group of thugs in robes at will.

The group appears to be a criminal force vying for power with the Russian and Latin American groups.

Surrounded by a large entourage, Ye Xiao even felt as if he had returned to his past life.

Who exactly said that Americans don't understand social etiquette?

Just having a little power makes you feel this good.

If he becomes president, wouldn't he take off like a rocket?

Ye Xiao floated into his senior brother William's laboratory.

As soon as he entered, the graduate students, who were much older than him, all stood up.

"Ye, what brings you here?"

"Please have a seat, Raven. Quickly, get Ye a cup of coffee! The best coffee, the one from the very back of Dr. Williams's cupboard!"

Ye Xiao subconsciously put his hands behind his back and glanced around Williams' laboratory.

His arrogant demeanor naturally aroused dissatisfaction among some people, who couldn't help but mutter complaints under their breath.

"So what if he's good at sucking up to the boss? How could he become so arrogant and complacent?"

"Are you out of your mind?!"

A senior researcher quickly covered his colleague's mouth.

Do you remember Oki Tomoaki from the biology lab next door?

"Oh, that Japanese guy? What's wrong?"

My old colleague looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"What's wrong? Have you gone mad from doing research? Don't you know what's been happening these past few days?"

"It's said that Guan Youxiang from the lab next door is dead, and there wasn't even ashes left, because he offended Ye Xiao!"

WTF?

The young researcher's eyes widened: "Is this still America? Is there no one who can punish him? Are there no laws left?"

"Why isn't it there?"

My old colleague chuckled: "Just a couple of days ago, his family came over claiming they were going to sue Ye Xiao, but instead the city hall demanded compensation from Da Guan Youxiang for the virus leak."

"My God!"

The young researcher was stunned, his mouth agape in disbelief, and his gaze toward Ye Xiao began to carry a hint of envy and longing.

"Where is Williams?"

Ye Xiao casually sat down at his senior's desk and looked at the researchers under his senior's command.

"Didn't Dr. Williams go to sea with Professor Ehrlich?"

The researcher asked, somewhat puzzled, "Don't you know about this?"

"I forgot."

Ye Xiao patted his head.

Damn it, he'd been so busy these past few days that he'd completely forgotten about it.

"Never mind, it's fine if he's not here."

Ye Xiao, holding his coffee, casually instructed, "That guy—"

Just call me Brown.

The young white researcher flashed a standard American smile, his face practically screaming "ambition."

"Okay, Brown, go to the academy now and investigate Ozeki Tomoaki's information for me."

"yes!"

Young Brown responded excitedly, and without even bothering with the experiment in his hands, he ran out of the office.

Difficulties are common in experiments, but opportunities to do favors for Ye Chi are rare.

Especially now that Williams isn't around, Brown got the first taste.

About an hour later, Brown returned, panting, carrying a brown paper bag.

"Sir, here is the information you requested."

Ye Xiao took the paper bag and subconsciously said, "Thank you, you've worked hard."

"It's no trouble at all! It's a great honor to be able to do things for Mr. Ye!"

Ye Xiao glanced at the thick stack of documents in the paper bag, a hint of surprise on his face.

I never expected Brown to be so good at what he did; he dug up almost everything about Yoshitoshi Osawara's study abroad experience in the United States.

Judging from Brown's panting appearance, he must have asked more than one friend for help to compile such detailed information.

All of this was done to curry favor with Ye Xiao.

Not bad.

Ye Xiao didn't dislike it at all; on the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.

The feeling of having a casual remark treated like an imperial edict is simply amazing.

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. I'll take a look myself."

After sending Brown away, Ye Xiao spread out the documents and began to examine them carefully.

Tomosuke Ozeki, a 26-year-old from Tokyo, Japan, is a graduate of Kyoto University. Judging from his family background, he seems to be the only son of a member of parliament in Japan, which explains why they were able to afford to send him all the way to the United States to study.

My master’s degree in biology at the University of Washington was taught by Professor Savery Chernicki, a Polish man.

Moreover, Ogushi Yuxiang is almost another template for Ye Xiao.

He was a leader among Japanese exchange students at school and a confidant of professors at research institutes.

Based on what his labmates said, Ozeki Yusuke often helped the professor with his problems.

This is intriguing.

That dangerous virus was definitely not something that Yoshitoshi Ogawa could have obtained on his own; it was very likely related to his professor.

However, judging from the materials collected by Brown, the laboratory where Tomosuke Ozeki worked did not involve research on viruses.

Could it be that Professor Yoshitoshi Ozeki is secretly conducting research on this?

It now seems that to obtain further clues, we must investigate the Polish talent named Savely Cernicsky.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao called Brown in again.

"Where is Professor Savely from the Institute of Biology now?"

"Professor Savery?"

Brown paused, then asked, "Didn't he participate in the college's trip and end up on the same cruise ship as Professor Ehrlich?"

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Xiao patted his head, thinking to himself, no wonder he hadn't seen Professor Oguchi Yuxiang come out the other day.

There's no cell phone signal on the cruise ship, only satellite phone service, and those old men are probably drunk every day.

By the time Saveri returns, his beloved disciple will probably have already been reincarnated.

"Mr. Ye, would you like me to inquire about Professor Savely's situation?"

"oh?"

Ye Xiao glanced at Brown, somewhat surprised: "You even managed to find out about the professor?"

"Well—"

Brown rubbed his hands together a little embarrassedly: "Actually, my situation is similar to yours. I got into the school because of a letter of introduction. My family has some connections in Seattle."

"I see."

Ye Xiao smiled, as if he saw a slightly immature version of himself.

Brown was indeed an outstanding white student, both sensible and quick-witted, completely different from the Americans described in Yilin magazines; he was more like a cunning Jew.

"Forget it, I'll go myself."

Before Ye Xiao could finish speaking, Brown suddenly became anxious.

"Sir, you're not planning to go to the cruise ship to investigate Professor Savely, are you?"

"That's too dangerous!"

Ye Xiao was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I heard before that Professor Savery already knew about this and had a very unpleasant argument with Professor Ehrlich on the cruise ship."

Brown looked anxious: "If you go there now, won't that just add fuel to the fire?"

"Professor Erich will definitely help you. He's so capable. You just need to wait for this to pass. There's no need to escalate the conflict."

Ye Xiao frowned.

Did Savely find out that he had caused Ozeki Yoshitoshi's death?

This is troublesome.

Louise is definitely pursuing the Savely storyline now.

Given their methods, it's not impossible for them to go directly onto the cruise ship and arrest people.

Ye Xiao could not allow them to capture Savely ahead of time.

This is not only about the safety of everyone on board, but also about the origin of the virus.

So how can I find Savely before Louise does and get him to cooperate with me?

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

Well, Professor Ehrlich will have to suffer a little longer.

I called Williams and learned that the cruise ship will dock in Alaska the day after tomorrow.

Ye Xiao decisively bought a plane ticket to Alaska.

However, when he arrived at the waiting room, he suddenly discovered that there were other people who had the same idea as him.

"leaf?"

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Director Louise's loyal lackey, Guy, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Damn it, what are you doing here?"

"That's the question I'd like to ask you."

Ye Xiao quickly concealed his surprise, frowning slightly and feigning anger as he said, "Don't you trust me at all?"

"Director Louise has already arranged for me to take a vacation. Are you still going to monitor me, the professor, and the students?"

'

Guy was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing that Ye Xiao's anger seemed genuine, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Damn it, can it really be such a coincidence?

Guy wanted to take this flight to Alaska, board a cruise ship when it docked, and investigate Professor Savely.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiao was also going to be on this flight.

Was he also planning to investigate secretly?

Guy couldn't help but have this suspicion, but he quickly realized that something was not quite right.

According to intelligence, Savely now wishes he could skin Ye Xiao alive.

He couldn't possibly have the guts to go after killing Yoshitoshi Ogawa.

After thinking it over carefully, Guy was convinced that it was probably a coincidence.

Ye Xiao probably didn't know that Savely was also on the ship; he was probably rushing to curry favor with Professor Ehrlich.

fair enough.

Guy's lips unconsciously curled up, but he had no intention of stopping or reminding Ye Xiao.

That damned bastard, how desperate he'll be when he gets on the ship and sees Professor Savely?

If that old man Savely gets angry, not even Erich, let alone the principal, can help him!

You've misunderstood.

Guy gave an unusually gentle look: "I just happened to be passing through Alaska on some business."

Don't be nervous, have a pleasant trip.
