"So I abandoned her."
"Okay, let's end this topic here. I don't have a girlfriend right now, so... there are no taboos!"
After finishing, Su Xin once again cast a super-tier, chant-free water spell.
Two hours later, when Karen woke up from her dream, she found that her fatigue had completely disappeared.
Just as she was feeling happy and was about to stand up, her legs started to tremble violently, and she lost her balance and fell into the pool.
"I feel a bit of pain down there, and... I guess I shouldn't be bleeding today?"
Please go to the long review section to view the unmodified version.
Chapter 33 Concern and Deception
"Ugh!!" Karen struggled to stand up from the pool, her legs trembling uncontrollably, swaying back and forth.
In the end, Karen could only hold onto the handrail by the pool and slowly, step by step, move her body.
Karen also tried taking normal strides.
But my legs wouldn't obey me. If I opened them even slightly wider, I felt a very obvious pain and tingling sensation, and my whole body would go limp.
Unsurprisingly, Karen felt that her mental stress had been relieved a lot, and her mood had become more cheerful.
"Although I fell and my body feels strange, the overall result is good, and I can get a good night's sleep tonight."
Karen didn't think much about how her body would turn out, attributing it to stress or prolonged soaking in water.
What she needs to do most right now is get a good night's sleep and prepare for tomorrow's challenges.
Night and early morning air are always bitterly cold; in summer it is refreshing, but in winter it is pure torture.
After Karen fell asleep, Su Xin took over the body, but instead of helping Karen temper her sword heart as usual, she quietly left the Kaslana family territory alone.
"Ugh, it's freezing! The uniform doesn't keep me warm at all!" Su Xin complained anxiously.
The chest area was fine, with fat providing warmth, but the exposed flesh between the black miniskirt and the white stockings with gold stripes suffered greatly in the biting cold wind.
Su Xin pulled her white, fitted swallowtail top tighter, her limbs trembling with cold. In the end, she had no choice but to activate her sword heart to adjust her body and excite her cells.
Damn high heels! To be a Valkyrie in battle, you have to wear high heels. Su Xin might as well wear cotton shoes on Earth.
It's a bit ugly, but it's warm.
Quickly, Su Xin went through an underground passage and followed the only road.
The temperature in the passage was much milder than outside, so Su Xin stopped activating her sword heart, as it consumed mental energy.
Before me lay a vast laboratory, but surprisingly, the equipment was scarce, and there were few researchers.
The experimental subjects were only some flowers, plants and mice.
Every researcher seemed very kind and compassionate, even injecting the drugs into the mice gently and slowly, as if they were mindful of the mice's feelings.
It seemed as if a sky full of golden light emanated from behind each researcher!
(Isn't Jesus' wrath a form of NTR?)
Otto saw the golden eyes
"Karen, come here! It's not too late now, let me take you out for a late-night snack later. I've prepared something delicious, you definitely haven't eaten yet!"
"Karen Otto, is there any progress in the treatment of the Black Death?"
“Of course!” Otto answered almost without thinking. Even if the experiment hadn’t progressed, he would have responded in the same way, simply because he didn’t want to disappoint Karen.
I won't stay up a few more nights.
"Don't worry, Karen, I'll be able to create a cure for the Black Death soon. I'm also asking you to keep this a secret. If another person knew that I was experimenting on animals, she would be disgusted." Otto clasped his hands together and shook his head.
animal?
Su Xin looked towards a completely enclosed wall. He could see a laboratory inside, filled with countless nutrient tanks containing all sorts of bizarre human figures, twisted beyond recognition. The only recognizable feature was the unmodified eyeballs.
Inside, researchers roughly injected the drug into the human body, which immediately began to swell and convulse.
The man watched as his hands transformed into monstrous claws, his mouth bulged out, fangs sprouted, and his head swelled up. The violent changes and intense pain nearly overwhelmed his reason.
After enduring immense pain, a soldier nearby used a pistol to shoot at the constantly changing head until the changes stopped, and the body collapsed into an unrecognizable mass of blood and gore.
The seemingly benevolent laboratory was not only set up by Otto to deceive Kallen, but also by him.
Can progress be achieved using mice and plants?
Epic success becomes insignificant if it requires no sacrifice.
Could a cure for the Black Death, which ravaged Europe for centuries, be developed in just a few years using only a few mice?
Finally, human subjects will be used for experiments.
Su Xin could actually understand Otto. Otto wasn't concerned about whether or not to use human subjects for experiments; he just didn't want to disappoint Karen.
He wanted to help Karen achieve her dream and prevent her from being abandoned, so she didn't take such an extreme path.
Of course, this extreme is not limited to the morality and ethics of the times.
Like the famous trolley problem, a madman has tied five innocent people to the trolley tracks.
An out-of-control trolley was heading towards them and was about to run them over.
Luckily, you can pull a lever to get the trolley onto another track. The problem is, that madman has also tied someone to that other track.
Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever?
Life cannot be measured by quantity, but harsh reality always provides the most truthful answer.
If none of the deceased were involved, we would most likely choose to exchange a minority for a majority.
Su Xin paused, then calmly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell her."
"Thank you so much. It would be difficult for Karen if these experiments were conducted elsewhere."
"Given her personality, she'll feel conflicted. But I understand you, Otto. You can stick to your decision and do what you believe in. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side. Of course, if you and Karen have a conflict, then I'll choose to stay away."
Su Xin joked.
Otto couldn't help but laugh out loud, but after being touched, he felt even more satisfied.
Otto knew that human experimentation was unforgivable in the conventional moral sense, because it required a huge number of human subjects, as the experiments needed countless data to support them.
Initially, Otto only used death row inmates for human experimentation.
But that's too little; it can't even meet the standards for the first project.
Otto gradually extended his reach to all prisoners, regardless of whether they committed minor or major crimes, and put them all on the testing table. They were first deliberately infected with the Black Death, then injected with large amounts of unknown, unsuccessful drugs, and finally died in agony as monsters.
However, this was not enough. The experimental data still lacked many examples, so the experimental group and Destiny joined forces to find those patients suffering from the Black Death.
Since they were going to die anyway, the Black Death patients did not hesitate to accept treatment, but they did not expect to face the harsh surgery, immense pain and agony that awaited them.
If they had known the outcome beforehand, they might have preferred to die in the cold as humans.
If Kallen, whose creed is to protect the people, knew of this sin, she would probably break with him completely.
Fortunately, Kallen with golden eyes was able to understand; she was much more receptive than Kallen, so Otto told her about the experiment a year ago.
He didn't tell Golden-Eyed Karen about the deeper human laboratory, because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it.
To this end, Otto even spent a lot of money to rebuild a new laboratory in order to deceive Karen with her golden eyes.
Su Xin naturally knew Otto's thoughts, and since he wanted to hide them, there was no need to expose him.
This allowed Otto to focus wholeheartedly on developing a cure for the Black Death.
In fact, Su Xin didn't care whether Otto could be researched or not; he only cared about Otto's growth.
"Hehe, let's go, Karen, I'll take you for a late-night snack first," Otto suggested.
Su Xin swallowed hard. It was all Karen's fault for being so honest; she couldn't help but get excited just hearing about late-night snacks.
Due to her fake aloof persona, Su Xin only uttered a sound, trying her best to suppress her expression and prevent the corners of her mouth from turning up.
I feel like drooling, but I have to hold it in!
Chapter 34 Stars Illuminating Each Other
Otto could see her embarrassment, after all, she also knew Karen.
Golden-eyed Kallen is more mature in her thinking than Kallen, but in some ways she is even more endearingly contrasting than Kallen herself.
They clearly don't care about things like worldly ideals, feudal traditions, outdated rules and ideas, but they have a special fondness for some extremely ordinary things.
For example, eating, sleeping, and taking walks and petting cats—ordinary things.
These seemingly ordinary things could bring a serene smile to Karen's golden eyes, and Otto could tell that she was thoroughly enjoying this brief moment of warmth and tranquility.
There is one most important point.
The reason Otto was loyal to her.
No matter what confusion you encounter.
Karen, with her golden eyes, always manages to respond.
Otto had no shortage of fervent followers and sincere friends, but he lacked an idol to whom he could always look up.
You can always look up to them, follow them, and worship them. They understand everything about you, and in this turbid era, it is almost impossible to replicate a second person.
A person is already incredibly fortunate to have a star that shines upon them forever.
After all, most people, once they are born, will never be consistently chosen by anyone, whether it be family or best friends.
Humans have always been this way.
The night was clear and bright, with countless glittering stars adorning the dark curtain of the sky. A crescent moon hung high in the dark sky, radiating a silvery-white glow, and beams of bright crescent moonlight poured down.
It makes the whole land even more beautiful, revealing a dreamlike and enchanting atmosphere in the hazy light.
It's exactly the same as before, yet slightly different.
Now, with the help of the Flying Hook, Otto easily scaled the walls of the Kaslana family compound and sat down in the garden pavilion.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of flowers, and a cool breeze rustled through the green leaves, creating a soft, rustling sound.
Su Xin listened to the sounds of nature, and Otto was the only one who could hear them, so he made a soft, satisfied sound while eating.
"Ah! Delicious!" Su Xin stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips.
In an era of underdeveloped industry, or even near-zero progress, to be able to eat such perfect pudding and cola was truly remarkable.
Su Xin immediately felt that no other time traveler was as comfortable as her.
Eating pudding and drinking cola in modern times might not seem special, but in ancient times, being able to enjoy some time-traveling food by oneself would be an absolutely wonderful surprise.
The true value of things is only revealed when they are gone forever.
Before long, Su Xin had devoured a large amount of food on the table. Karen was very robust and had a great need for food.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the appetite will increase afterward.
Otto sat quietly; for him, watching Karen the Golden-Eyed eat every night was a very important thing.
He can temporarily suspend important experiments, and even if the experiment is progressing, he will be forced to stop.
There are always some things that are a thousand times, ten thousand times more important than life or anything else.
Leisure time,
Gentle evening breeze,
Sweet smile,
I want to see and meet people.
Otto couldn't think of anyone happier than him.
"Okay, I should go back to sleep too. I need to make sure Karen is healthy."
Their minds may be out of sync, but their bodies are in sync.
Otto nodded, smiled happily, and together with Su Xin, they cleaned up the mess on the table.
Then, using the flying hook, he scaled the wall and walked alone on his way home.
Suddenly, Otto laughed on his way home, but he didn't turn around. A thought flashed through his mind: "That woman is protecting you from behind. Why don't you just turn around and go back with her?"
"No, the vast emptiness, you must understand what humanity is."
