BXBX NOVEL Chapter 437 - 387: 319
“Dean Yue, if there’s another time, please let someone else guide her instead.” Kevin Clark leaned against the head of the bed while taking the call.
He spoke respectfully, but there was no sugarcoating in his words.
The dean of the Pharmaceutical Formulation Institute personally called Kevin Clark to ask for leave for Nicholson Amos.
Only then did Kevin Clark find out that Nicholson Amos had abandoned her experiment to take care of her own business.
After missing two conferences the year before last and inexplicably disappearing for half a year, she now had the Dean asking for leave on her behalf. She really was something.
“She does have an urgent matter to attend to,” said Ezekiel Santiago.
“Dean, she’s very capable, and she doesn’t need me to guide her at all,” said Kevin Clark. “There’s no need to trouble me with her.”
“In order for her to get a pass to enter the research institute, she needs to be guided by a professor,” Ezekiel Santiago said directly. “I really don’t have the time, otherwise I wouldn’t want to bother anyone else.”
Kevin Clark:
And then Ezekiel Santiago added another sentence: “Ah, I’ll personally guide her. Nicholson Amos has already graduated, and she is now in the research institute.”
This was insinuating that he had failed his courses.
Kevin Clark narrowed his eyes: “Dean, you entrusted her to me, so I’ll naturally decide whether she meets the qualifications for the research institute.”
Ezekiel Santiago:
If it were only about her abilities, Kevin Clark would have no complaints about Nicholson Amos.
But regarding her attitude, he couldn’t guarantee it.
Experiments require a meticulous attitude and persevering spirit.
He couldn’t see that in her. At least people who could enter the research institute wouldn’t miss events without reason, disappear without reason, or make mistakes in their report formats several times.
He couldn’t guarantee that in the future, this Nicholson Amos wouldn’t bring this attitude into her experiments.
Even geniuses need to have the right attitude.
Otherwise, it’s just a ticking time bomb.
Ezekiel Santiago fell silent for a moment and said: “You’re so old-fashioned.”
Kevin Clark:
“Come on, I’m personally asking for leave. Show some respect,” pleaded Ezekiel Santiago.
“One last time.”
As soon as these four words were spoken, Daisy Zane entered through the door. Kevin Clark’s expression instantly eased.
Ezekiel Santiago said: “Alright, it’s settled.”
After hanging up, Kevin Clark looked at the food box and the folder in Daisy Zane’s hand: “How did you come back so soon?”
“I took a quick look at the Silver Palace and came back.” Daisy Zane placed the folder on one side. “I ran into James Cooper on my way back, so I brought the food along.”
Kevin Clark propped up the small table himself, took the food box, and arranged the food on the table: “I didn’t get yours.”
“I ate at Dark Radiance.”
Kevin Clark scooped up a bowl of soup, took a sip, then scooped a spoonful and offered it to Daisy Zane: “Try it, it tastes good and it’s not hot.”
Daisy Zane drank it down.
When the meal was over, one-third of the food had ended up in Daisy Zane’s stomach,
She was chatting with Luke, Morris, Charles Amos, and Marsh Turner, who scored three hundred plus in his grades. Kevin Clark kept sending her whatever he found delicious in his meal, and she would simply eat them without even looking up.
After finishing the meal, Kevin Clark cleaned up, and looking down, he saw her reply to Charles Amos’s message: [It’s not me, it’s your Uncle Clark.]
And the message Charles Amos sent was: [There are 200 dollars missing from my account.]
Kevin Clark:
Noticing the gaze, Daisy Zane looked up at him.
Kevin Clark smiled and said, “I’ve been wronged.”
“Adapt to it.” Daisy Zane said calmly, “There will be many more of these situations in the future.”
Kevin Clark chuckled softly.
Daisy Zane handed him the folder that was just next to her: “This is Captain Mason’s work report. He has something else to do, so he asked me to bring it to you.”
Clark took it, flipped through it and said, “It’s about that unidentified power. Do you want to take a look?”
Daisy Zane accepted it, and also looked it over.
Adrian Roberts identified the unknown power in question.
Indeed, they had brought 319 in, and they had received orders to ally with the Thousand Mountains Alliance.
They wanted to take control of the Mountain Sea Continent.
The first step was to deal with Dark Radiance or the Hundred Demons Pavilion.
As it happened, Dark Radiance was holding a selection, so they sent people to take part in it.
If Clark hadn’t discovered the mole, if Dark Radiance had suffered a heavy blow, the next step would have been to target the Hundred Demons Pavilion.
All of this was for the experiment involving 319.
Daisy Zane’s hand gripping the folder tightened involuntarily.
Clark held her hand.
Daisy Zane looked at his hand and released some of her grip: “They’ve been experimenting on humans all along.”
Clark looked at her and gave a soft hum: “From what we know about 319, it enters the human body and affects the cells, so different reactions occur in different people.”
As he squeezed her hand, he spoke slowly: “Based on the transaction location in Red Cliff Village and the subsequent discovered transaction locations, the confiscated various reports on the reactions to 319 show that different people react differently to the drug. However… there’s no pattern to the reactions.”
“The homeless man in Truro City.” Daisy Zane said.
“Based on the autopsy report of the homeless man in Truro City, the 319 dose he was injected with was too large, his body couldn’t withstand it, and he died abruptly,” Clark explained. “The current 319 and 319(i) have strictly controlled doses. The 319(i) dose is slightly larger than the 319 dose, but neither pose a threat to life.”
Daisy Zane said, “They’re looking for people who can adapt to the drug.”
“Yes,” Clark replied. “They’re targeting the Mountain Sea Continent, and they will definitely target other continents as well. After all, the living environment and physical condition of the people vary in each place. They’re expanding the scope of their experiments, as well as the ‘type’ of experiments.”
Daisy Zane knew Edward Kirsten was insane, but she still underestimated the extent of his madness.
After a moment of silence, Daisy Zane looked at Clark and asked, “What do you think 319 is researching?”
Clark looked at her and asked in return, “What do you think?”
“Eternal life,” Daisy Zane replied.
Clark’s eyelashes trembled, and it seemed that he understood why she had gone to Imperial Capital University—she was researching 319 on her own.
Moreover, it seemed that she had single-handedly done what the entire research institute was investigating.
Originally, they had no clue about 319.
They couldn’t break down the components, and even experiments with mice yielded no results.
It wasn’t until the suspected 319 discovered inside the Truro City homeless man’s body and issues with the doses of 319 and 319(i) that the research institute began to mimic the substances detected in the homeless man’s body and adjust the doses accordingly.
Through a large number of experiments and observations, they discovered that it could prevent unstable cells, such as those that age, die, and regenerate in a day or two, from aging.
These cells remained in a constant state of freshness and vigor.
However, such changes in various cells were too much for a living body to withstand, leading to rapid death from the drug.
Edward Kirsten’s current approach seemed to be a desperate attempt to experiment on humans using adjusted doses to produce the desired results.
Therefore, they had to find Edward Kirsten and his laboratory as soon as possible.
After another period of silence, Daisy Zane said, “Kevin Clark, can you hypnotize me?”
Hearing her words, Clark’s eyes tensed. He knew she wanted to recall Edward Kirsten’s appearance.
“Ordinary hypnotists have no effect on me,” Daisy Zane said as she looked at him. “You trained me, so you should know best how to hypnotize me.”
