In the conference room, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
The members of the Nefertari Royal Family sat on both sides of the long square table. The main seat was empty.
"Saka, why did you call us all here? What's the matter?" A member of the Royal Family asked suspiciously. "Where is His Majesty Saka? We are all here. Why hasn't he appeared yet?"
"I'm very sorry. I'm afraid he won't appear!"
Deep footsteps pushed the door open. Yarlin pushed the door open. His white navy uniform came into view. He had a mysterious smile on his face. He stepped aside, and Nefertari Vivi, dressed as a Royal Princess, appeared behind him.
Vivi walked out from behind Yarlin. Her blue hair fell to her waist. She was wearing a white dress with high heels. She glanced at the faces in the conference room with a complicated expression.
"Vivi!"
The faces of several members of the Royal Family changed. They suddenly stood up and asked nervously, "Where is His Majesty Saka?"
Yarlin pulled out the main seat. Vivi exhaled and slowly sat down on the main seat. Her blood-stained hands reached out from her dress. A crimson dagger was nailed to the table.
"Saka is dead!" Vivi met the gazes of several members of the Royal Family and replied word by word, "I killed him with my own hands for the crime of murdering His Majesty Cobra!"
Silence!
A pin drop silence!
The members of the Royal Family held their breaths. They could hardly believe their ears. They had different expressions. Finally, their eyes were focused on Vivi. They looked at each other as if they had lost their voices.
"Who are you?" A member of the Royal Family stared at Yarlin with a gloomy face.
Yarlin stretched out his white gloves. He adjusted his ironed collar. The white seagull embroidered on his chest was unusually eye-catching. "I'm a colonel stationed at the Alabasta Naval Branch. You can call me Yarlin!"
Half an hour had passed.
Medical Department.
The corridor was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. On both sides of the corridor were tightly shut iron doors. Through the frosted windows, some medical personnel could be vaguely seen working.
Saka walked in the quiet corridor in his black leather boots. The innermost part of the corridor was Dr. Hook's independent laboratory. As the scientist who developed the green plant buffer, he was also the scientist most likely to develop the antidote in the whole of Alabasta. All the resources were poured into Dr. Hook's laboratory.
Saka was very concerned about the progress of Dr. Hook's experiment. As soon as he received a message from Dr. Hook, he immediately dropped everything he was doing and rushed over.
The sound of leather boots stepping on the wooden stairs was very crisp. The corridor lamp above his head was exceptionally bright like an inverted bowl cover. There was an old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall, the pendulum swinging back and forth, making a sound.
Saka walked to the door of the laboratory. The door wasn't locked, and there was only a small gap. Through the gap, a long shadow could be seen on the ground.
He sniffed his nose, and when he pushed the door open, his heart beat faster unconsciously. He was looking forward to it: "I hope, Dr. Hook has developed the final antidote."
The room was dim, the lights were not turned on, and there was silence everywhere. Only Saka's own heartbeat could be heard.
The light slanted through the gap in the curtains and shone on the ground, dragging out a curled up figure. Saka looked down and saw Dr. Hook lying quietly on the ground. His face was pale as if he was dead.
"He's not dead, he just fainted. After all, Alabasta needs him to develop the antidote."
The curtains were pulled open, and the dazzling sunlight shone on her blue hair. Vivian's face was reflected in Saka's eyes. His heart twitched violently, and he exclaimed: "Vivian!"
Saka quietly stepped back, reached out and grabbed the door handle. He turned around and was ready to escape. Black silk quietly climbed up his back, and the binding black silk tightly wrapped around his limbs.
Saka's movement suddenly stiffened, and he looked in the direction of the silk with a horrified expression. There was a strange figure sitting in the corner of the laboratory.
He sat on the high stool in front of the laboratory table, one hand on the table, the palm of his hand holding his chin, and the pinky of the other hand hooked the entwined silk. There was a strange cross pattern in the center of his eyebrows that was unusually glaring.
"Why are you in a hurry to escape? Is it because you're guilty? " Vivian stared at Saka, and her knuckles turned blue under the cuffs of her shirt. Her tone was unprecedentedly cold.
"What are you talking about? I'm so happy to see that you're still alive!" Saka felt the entwined black silk tightly retracting into his flesh, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Is that so? Then can you tell me how my father, His Majesty Cobra, died?" Vivian clenched her fingers together and pulled them out of her cuffs.
"It's Doto, Doto killed His Majesty Cobra!" Saka looked at Vivian who was coming over, and said through gritted teeth, "I've already executed Doto."
"Are you still going to pour dirty water on a dead person?" Vivian opened her palm and revealed a delicate dagger. The cold, sharp dagger was pressed against Saka's throat. A long line of blood spurted out in front of Saka's eyes, and his throat made a hissing sound.
"Save your repentance and sophistry, and go see His Majesty Cobra!" Vivian's fingers clenched the dagger, and the blade pierced through the throat, making a screeching sound along the side. Saka's head fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and pressed against Dr. Hook's cheek.
"I'm sorry, I was too agitated. I should have forced him to tell the truth." Vivian's shoulders trembled, and her eyes were red. She looked at Yarlin and said.
"It's okay, this will be your kingdom, Queen Vivian. As the Queen of Alabasta, what you say is the unquestionable truth!" Yarlin patted Vivian's shoulders and said gently.
Vivian gradually calmed down and cast a grateful look at Yarlin. She stared at the pool of blood on the ground and said awkwardly, "He is my uncle after all, his body …"
"Don't worry and stay here. Someone will take care of this trivial matter for you." Yarlin glanced at the head that was still open, and the blood that splattered on Dr. Hook's white coat was soaked red.
Not long after the two left …
Dr. Hook suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of ferocious and horrified dead fish eyes were reflected in his eyes. He shuddered and got up from the ground, and then gasped for breath.
"Princess Vivian killed His Majesty Saka!"
Dr. Hook quickly locked the door of the laboratory from the inside. He gritted his teeth, dragged Saka's body, and soaked it in a pool of highly concentrated acid.
The surface of the pool bubbled. Dr. Hook stared at Saka's body being corroded into fine dregs, and then settled at the bottom of the pool. He threw the blood-stained white coat into the pool, and then gritted his teeth, turned around, and put on a new white coat.
There was an iron box on the experiment table. Dr. Hook carefully opened it, and a few green test tubes were neatly arranged inside. He stared at the test tubes with a burning gaze, as if he was looking at his future …
