The Poison King, Klinger's face was abnormally pale. It was so pale that it didn't look like a real person. It was as pale as an albino wax figure.
In addition, he had no hair, eyebrows, or beard. There was no hair on his face.
Is this the leader of the three swordsmen at Stanford University, the genius pharmacologist, Klinger? I heard that his scary face was caused by long-term exposure to harmful drugs. If I hadn't met Wang Xiuwu first in this underground building that looked like an ancient tomb, I might have been scared to death.
Klinger's brown eyes glanced at the monitor that measured my vital signs.
He laughed to himself, and his vulture-like shoulders kept moving up and down. I suddenly realized that he was the embodiment of a vulture in the human world. He looked at others like a vulture staring at rotten meat.
"Hehehe, as expected, BWK didn't affect any of your chemical indexes. However, I'll give it a try. Science grows through continuous failures!"
"What, what do you want to do?"
I tried hard to control my mouth and tongue, and it took me a lot of effort to ask a question.
Klinger seemed to be satisfied that I could speak. He nodded.
"How is it? Muscle relaxants generally affect the muscles of the whole body, including the tongue. Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't be able to speak. But after I modified the muscle relaxant, the effect on the head has been weakened, so you can talk to me normally. In terms of dosage control, many senior anesthetists aren't as accurate as me … "
I didn't have time to respond to Klinger's self-satisfaction. I asked again, "What evil things are you doing here?"
"Evil? That's just your imagination. " Klinger shook his index finger inside the plastic glove. "Your mother, Ai ShuQiao, is very great. She wants to expose the lies that have deceived mankind for thousands of years with me. She wants to obtain the truth that countless scientists, philosophers, and artists haven't grasped. That's why I spend every day researching."
Although the BWK that soaked my body was harmless to me, it wasn't a comfortable existence. I tried to sit up in the glass tank again, but I didn't succeed.
"Controlling the human mind?" I could only mobilize the only part of my brain that obeyed my commands and continue to extract information from Klinger. What was good for me was that Klinger, just like his junior brother, Professor Yu, and Fang Xin, had a funny side to him. He seemed to like to brag about his work and wasn't very tight-lipped.
"As you can see, we are on our way to success." Like all mad scientists, Klinger's eyes flashed with fanaticism. "With the right amount of immersion, I can affect the human brain without surgery. For example, I can make Dr. Yu forget that I have been conducting research in China for two years …"
So, the drug that caused Professor Yu's amnesia was not something else, but the soaking BWK? Klinger must have done something to Dr. Yu when he was about to stop … It was really hard to guard against such a senior brother who specialized in pharmacology!
"You … have been in China for two years?"
"Of course," Klinger wrote down a few pieces of data using a piece of paper and notes on the monitor. "Your blood is the most critical pharmaceutical material. How can I wait in the United States for your blood sample to come by air? In fact, I have been doing research in this underground laboratory. Ai ShuQiao bought the Doomsday Bunker in Dongshan City just to divert your attention … "
Damn, this place is really an ancient tomb! Aren't you afraid that zombies will come and bite you if you stay in this place every day?!
"009 is … a mole that you planted?" I guessed that Klinger might have been hiding in the dark for too long, so he got carried away and wanted to reveal all of his conspiracies. As the saying goes, villains die because they talk too much. I had to take advantage of this.
Klinger furrowed his bald eyebrows. "Mole? That's not the right word to use. 009 was originally employed by Ai ShuQiao. Him listening to Ai ShuQiao is a sign of loyalty. "
I used my facial expressions to express my serious doubts. After the Monarch Building incident, 009, who was hypnotized by Wang Xiuwu, was extremely ashamed and immediately resigned from Ai ShuQiao. However, Ai ShuQiao generously kept 009, which made 009 feel touched. He cried bitterly and said that he would definitely make up for his mistakes and use his life to protect Ai Mi.
Compared to the loyalty oath he made at the time, I feel that 009's current performance is subtly incongruous. It doesn't seem to be in line with his personality.
"Hmph, as expected of your mother's genes. Your observation skills are quite sharp." Klinger laughed. "The reason we can use 009 with such ease is naturally because he has also been soaked. In order to repay Ai ShuQiao for letting him stay, he voluntarily accepted the soaking. This is one of the exceptions. "
So that's how it is. That means that some of 009's actions are no longer under his control, just like how Huo Jiangdong did not kidnap Fang Xin for himself.
I paused for a moment and pretended to be shocked by Klinger's words. Then I asked the question I was most concerned about.
"Why do you need Ai Mi's blood sample? Does the red dot on Ai Mi's chest have anything to do with you? Also … "
Because I couldn't move my body, my brain was working at a high speed and I noticed a blind spot that clearly defied common sense.
"You said you came to Dong Shan city two years ago, so it can be seen that Ai ShuQiao is determined to develop BWK. But why did she place the breakthrough on me? Didn't she also obtain several subspecies of Blue Flash Butterfly in Armenia? At the time, she didn't know the survival rate of eating a Blue Flash Butterfly was so low, so she placed all her resources on me. It was as if she believed that BWK could only be developed from my blood … "
It took a lot of energy to control my tongue for a long time and I couldn't finish my sentence.
Klinger laughed silently. He took out a red and white capsule from his lab coat and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it with his teeth while the muscles on his face moved unnaturally.
"Hahahaha, you finally asked this question. This is the most interesting part. Ai ShuQiao warned me not to tell you the truth, but after I obtained your sister's blood sample, the research was completed and the lab should be abandoned. "
"That's why I asked 009 to lure you down even though I knew you were approaching me this morning. I wanted to test out the effects of soaking you in BWK. Before I leave China, I wanted to take a good look at your shocked and twisted face..."
Here it comes! In countless movies and TV series, the villains always fail because they show off their schemes to the righteous! I want to hear what Klinger has to say!
"Maybe you don't know." Klinger turned his face to the only mirror in the lab, "Before I became like this, I was the personal doctor of John's father, Ai Mi's grandfather, for a period of time. It was at that time that Ai ShuQiao found me …"
My heart skipped a beat: So the two of you worked together to poison Ai Mi's grandfather! No wonder Ai ShuQiao trusts you so much, you guys were accomplices more than ten years ago!
"Ai ShuQiao has always thought that the Blue Flash Butterfly is her mascot, and it does make sense. She only needs a little powder to get rid of the person in her way and let her inherit a large amount of wealth. She can also extract a special chemical substance that triggers the 'reward-punishment' mechanism in the brain, which becomes the prototype of mind control drugs … "
"Her infatuation with the Blue Flash Butterfly appeared before she came to America. At the peak of her fanaticism, she injected a small dose of the Blue Flash Butterfly's poison into her body, and she was already pregnant at the time …"
"What? Could it be — — "
Klinger must have been pleased by my shocked expression, for he proceeded to describe the terrible facts to me.
"Ye Lin, one of the reasons you survived after eating the Blue Flash Butterfly is because you have a strong body, but the more important reason is that you already have antibodies to the Blue Flash Butterfly in your body before you were born! Why is the death rate of the subjects Ai ShuQiao recruited in America so high? Do you really think they weren't as strong as you? "
A chill rose up my spine and spread throughout my body.
So that's why Ai ShuQiao quickly realized that I was an exception among exceptions, so she focused her research on me …
"Wait." I exclaimed, "According to what you said, Ai Mi …"
"That's right!" Klinger nodded as if he was rewarding me, "As Ai ShuQiao's daughter, Ai Mi also has antibodies to the Blue Flash Butterfly, but her body is too weak, so she can only be used as a backup in case you die."
"But I'm not dead!" I roared. My angry voice resonated with the glass tank, "If you still want my blood for research, then continue to collect my blood! Why did you do it to Ai Mi! You … "
"Don't get agitated." Klinger threw another capsule into his mouth, "Your blood has already been thoroughly researched, so I don't need it anymore. Didn't you notice that most of the people soaked in BWK are men? As a curious scientist, do I have a reason not to do soaking experiments on women? However, I haven't been able to find a satisfactory female product to use as a spy because BWK currently has a gender bias. It's probably because the core substance was collected from a man's blood, so it doesn't have a good effect on women … "
I clenched my teeth as I listened to him continue.
"Your mother and I are people who pursue perfection. Since our research has reached a bottleneck, and the only person in this world with antibodies to the Blue Flash Butterfly is a woman, then our choice is obvious, we must start with Ai Mi …"
