That was hope.
For hybrids, it was a hope that couldn't be exchanged with ten thousand deaths.
Admittedly, it was difficult to cure those with the beast trait. There was no cure. Unless they were reborn like the development period after sublimation, it was impossible to get rid of the aberration that had occurred before they were born.
But if used properly, this brand-new cell fusion inducer could become a precious cornerstone to continue the research and development of new types of biological agents — specific drugs targeted at beastified individuals!
It could suppress the complications of the beast trait in all aspects, just like insulin for diabetics. It could alleviate and reduce the occurrence of various complications through injection.
Even if it couldn't be cured, it could still greatly extend the average life span of the hybrids and reduce the suffering of the patients.
This was the original sin of the beast trait. The continuous mutation brought about various complications. Almost eighty percent of the beast trait died from various diseases.
If Professor Miyamoto could succeed, there was no doubt that the beast trait would usher in a new dawn of hope.
For this, he had invested as much as forty years and burned through an unknown amount of his budget. At the worst, even the Ivory Tower's capital flow would be strained.
Russell's only condition for the investment was that the Ivory Tower's name was among the researchers. Other than that, he wouldn't even add a dime to the investment except for the necessary profits to maintain production.
Just this point alone was enough for Miyamoto Genichiro to prostrate himself in gratitude to Russell.
Originally, everything was going well.
The premise was … if nothing happened.
"I won't explain the specific principles here."
Isaac's expression was unprecedentedly ugly. "You only need to know that it can combine any hybrid with the Abyss's virus at any time and turn a living person into a biological weapon."
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time. His legs and stomach trembled violently.
He shuddered.
Think about it. Ten, a hundred, a thousand... or even tens of thousands of Huai Shi's alternate accounts did not control their Plague Aura at all, casually spreading their poison all over the place.
When the time came, how much damage would it cause? How many deaths would it cause?
How many nightmares would this power cause after it was injected with the hybrid's hatred and prejudice against society?
The balance would be completely broken.
Every hybrid … would become a potential source of infection and a tool of transmission!
Before Huai Shi could react, Mr. Isaac could no longer suppress his anger. The terrifying might of a Fifth Order Ascendant turned into steel, causing the air to freeze.
The alarm in the room instantly sounded, and in front of him, the thick tempered glass cracked like snowflakes …
He waved his hand, causing the rapidly spreading alarm signals in the air and even the circuits to abruptly stop.
It was isolated from the outside world.
It even froze the time of the commissioner next to him.
That face froze in shock for a moment.
His thoughts stopped.
"Miyamoto, what on earth are you thinking?" Isaac said coldly, "What do you take the Ivory Tower's reputation and position for? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!
"To whom?"
Behind the broken glass, the old man raised his head and asked in confusion, "Tell it to the people of Yingzhou? Don't you understand, Mr. Isaac? This country has had problems for a long time. "
He raised his voice and yelled at the man in front of him, "This country is sick! Don't tell me you haven't seen it? Discrimination, bullying, workplace strife … the government and the military, the Chinese and the commoners, everyone has been abnormal for a long time! Here, discrimination is like breathing, engraved into their instincts!
As long as they're different, they're their enemies. As long as they're different from others, they're original sins here! Even breathing is wrong!
Don't you understand how lowly we hybrids are?
Don't tell me the people of Yingzhou will save us? No, they won't!
They've long wanted to find an opportunity to flatten the Danbo Inner Circle! The reason they haven't killed all the hybrids is because they lack a reason! Don't tell me I'm going to personally give the Luming Hall an excuse to kill my compatriots? "
Disregarding the great disparity in strength between them, the stooped old man glared at his superior in front of him with wide eyes. "When I was young, my father taught me a principle. As long as people want to live, they can live. Drinking sewage, eating garbage, even if they don't live like humans, it doesn't matter.
But my mother told me that if you want people to die, they will die … as long as you abandon them, it's fine, just like what the Directorate of Administration did!
There were so many people, Mr. Isaac, so many people who were struggling at death's door, hiding in places where light couldn't find them, fighting like dogs for a mouthful of food, prostituting themselves, selling their smiles, working hard … selling themselves and their children, selling everything that could be sold in order to survive, but they still couldn't survive.
Except for life, they have nothing! But what's wrong with them? They just want to live!
"I'm also a hybrid. I can live until now because of their mercy and grace. Without them, there would be no me! I want to help them, but I can't do anything. I want ordinary people to live peacefully with them, but people on both sides only see me as a traitor! What should I do? "
He couldn't indulge his pain like a student and choose violence.
He could no longer use reason to restrain his impulses like in the past, to seek that glimmer of hope that had long been lost.
After being seen as a traitor by his people, in order to protect his people, he chose to hide it and became a traitor of the Ivory Tower …
Now, Miyamoto Genichiro had broken down in despair. Tears flowed down his old face as he begged the person in front of him, "If you want to kill, please kill me as well! I only beg you, after I die, you must find the Sacred City. At least, don't let more people die because of this … "
In the silence, Isaac didn't speak. He wasn't angry, and his expression didn't even change. He just replied calmly, "Professor Miyamoto, this is not something that the Ivory Tower can get involved in. The Directorate of Administration won't allow us to intervene in the affairs of the present realm and the internal affairs of Yingzhou … I can't do anything about this."
No matter how Miyamoto begged, how angry or pleading, his attitude didn't change at all.
Even if the sky fell and the earth cracked, he would never let the Ivory Tower get involved in this kind of chaos that had no innocence to speak of.
In the long silence, Miyamoto's body gradually collapsed. She knelt on the ground, numbly begging again and again. To Isaac, to Huai Shi in front of her.
"I beg you, Huai Shi -kun, please … help me."
The old man's forehead rubbed against the glass shards on the ground, leaving streaks of blood. "I beg you. I will repay you. I will. I still have value to you. I, I … "
She was sobbing by the end of her sentence.
Huai Shi wanted to speak, but Isaac looked at him coldly. One hand pressed on his shoulder, restraining his overindulgent compassion.
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and opened his mouth to speak.
But he heard a voice from the side.
"Don't worry, he will help you, Professor Miyamoto."
Outside the slowly opening door, the smoking man looked at Huai Shi and curled his lips in disdain. "After all, he is the kind of person who is too nice. As long as you suffer in front of him, he won't be able to move.
Even if he says he doesn't want to, he will quietly sneak into Danbo's inner circle tonight … However, you shouldn't knowingly break the law and cross the limits of the authority of the Central Bureau to have such a dangerous idea, 'Huai Shi -kun' -kun. "
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of his name as a warning.
I didn't, I didn't. Don't f * cking talk nonsense!
Huai Shi subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he turned around and glared, he saw a pair of eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time and the usual cold expression.
He couldn't help but gulp.
He nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.
"Yes, yes, yes. That's right. I like to help people the most!"
Huai Shi patted his chest loudly. "Leave it to me. I will abide by the laws of the present realm and the rules of the Astronomical Society. I will be a useful inspector for the world."
"Very good."
The visitor nodded and looked at the others in the room. "Although I seem to have come at a bad time, the visiting time is over. Everyone, is it convenient for you to move to the conference room to discuss the following matters?"
.
.
After the long meeting ended, Huai Shi couldn't help but yawn.
In fact, he wasn't among the people in the meeting …
What a joke. Who were the people in the meeting? The plenipotentiary, the vice-chancellor of the Ivory Tower, the special commissioner of the Central Bureau's decision room, the branch minister of the Yingzhou Bureau … and the people who were directly connected through the network were the highest-level person in charge of the decision room of the Central Bureau and the three curators of the overhead floor.
There was no chance for a salted fish like Huai Shi to appear in such a place.
Therefore, he sat on the bench outside the whole time until the door opened. The vice-chancellor walked over with a gloomy expression. When he passed by Huai Shi, he said indifferently, "Since you want to get involved, then you'd better behave yourself."
Then, he left in a huff.
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Huai Shi expressing his opinion without him, but he didn't stop or scare him.
It could only be said that he was used to the vice-chancellor's secretary who was the same as the vice-chancellor and was prepared to clean up Huai Shi's mess.
This made Huai Shi feel even more awkward and embarrassed. He nodded and bowed as he sent the vice-chancellor away, and then the branch minister and secretary of the Yingzhou Bureau.
Finally, he looked at the special commissioner from the decision room.
And her short hair that had become unusually neat after she cut it short …
He felt that it was a pity.
In the silent gaze, Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh first.
"I think you must want to ask, 'Why is it you again?' “
"Yes, that's right. “
Ai Qing looked at him and asked curiously, "Have you noticed that every time something is about to happen or cause trouble, you are the most active?"
