"Physical strength 1500, mental strength 2200?"

Verdy stared at the fluctuating data on the instrument screen, his head seemingly expanding. "His physical body is 150 times that of an ordinary person, and his mental strength is 220 times? And the data is still fluctuating slowly; is this intensity still increasing?"

"How is this possible..."

"This number far exceeds the standard for high-ranking demons!"

Verdy slammed his hand on the chair, and the chair, which resembled a baby seat, extended wheels from its bottom and slid to the dedicated computer next to it.

His fingers flew across the dedicated keyboard as he frantically checked the data: "The cell activity is also off, even more so than that of a high-ranking demon. How can this body survive in a normal oxygen environment?"

He suddenly turned to look at Tachibana Kirika: "What does he usually eat? With this kind of physical condition, if he only eats human food, he will definitely suffer from severe malnutrition."

"How would I know!" Kijiri was also stunned.

"Aren't you his superior? Don't you know this?" Verdy frowned.

"He's only been with SDS for four days!" Tachibana Kiri's lips twitched, her face full of speechlessness.

"Useless." Verdi glanced at her coldly, casually slapping open the armrest of the chair to reveal more than a dozen sampling tubes inside.

He pulled out a test tube and tossed it to Kikuri: "Go, collect his genetic sample. I need this for advanced testing."

"What is this?" Kaori Tachibana hurriedly caught the test tube, then was completely stunned after hearing what it said. "Wait, you're not talking about..., are you?"

"You can collect the samples however you like, I just need the samples." Verdy's glasses seemed to reflect a cold light. "If we can prove that his physique is hereditary, then we will have discovered a new kind of human! This will definitely be recorded in the annals of human civilization, and you will also be recorded forever along with my research."

"Wait a minute! What do you want me to do?" Tachibana Kirika was completely dumbfounded, clutching the test tube.

"Are you suggesting Lux go? I don't care, but do you think it's appropriate?" Verdi raised his baby hand, his tone full of disdain. "Here, you're the least valuable one, so naturally you should do this job."

Just then, Lux stepped forward and said softly, "Please wait a moment, Doctor."

"What?" Verdy's heart skipped a beat. He pushed up his glasses and looked at Lux with an unnatural expression.

"Can you destroy this data?" Lux's tone remained gentle, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were exceptionally sharp. "It's safest for me to keep the data. Only you, Siegel, and I have access to it."

Lux reiterated, "I don't want any of this data leaked, not even a tiny bit."

"...I understand." Verdy scratched his head in frustration. "I can destroy the data, but I'll have to write down the specific data first, since there's still research to be done."

In addition, I request to use the Level 3 Abyss item, the Memory Maze, to subject myself to mental control. Is that acceptable?

"I'm sorry, Doctor," Lux nodded apologetically, "Please keep this strictly confidential until the memory labyrinth is fully activated..."

"You can't leave my sight until then."

"I understand, but I have to carry out the follow-up research on my own. It's really inconvenient without anyone to help me. But never mind, after all, you are the Speaker."

Verdy sniffed as he spoke, then continued, "But there's something I must make clear: if it's verified that this 'new human's' genes can be stably passed down, I will suggest that Siegel arrange for him to become engaged to you."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Misaki's face instantly darkened, and she sternly rebuked, "Verdi, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"This is a necessary step to ensure the future survival of the Kleinists."

Verdy's gaze was utterly cold, perfectly befitting his title of "Mad Doctor": "Or what if, in twenty or thirty years, we enter middle age, only to find ourselves facing a group of impetuous young 'new humans'?"
