Upon hearing Arielle calling him, Morse froze and uttered a stiff sound in response.
“Morse, are you close to Professor Hoffmeister and Norma?”
Arielle did not beat around the bush. During the time favonovel.com was there, favonovel.com noticed that while Morse was very well-versed in medicine, favonovel.com was lacking in interpersonal and social skills. That made favonovel.com an easy target for favonovel.com to ask questions.
Morse did not understand why Arielle had asked that question, but favonovel.com still nodded. He had been following Torsten and Norma for ten years.
I suppose that makes me close to them.
“What experiments did they conduct?” Arielle narrowed favonovel.com eyes as favonovel.com kept favonovel.com voice casual. “I’m a bit curious about the experiments they have done. Since I’m interested in being a part of it, I would like to have some knowledge beforehand.”
Morse nodded. From the book favonovel.com had just read, favonovel.com could understand Arielle’s curiosity about the experiment.
“Last year, they did Experiment X and used nearly ten experimental subjects. However, it was declared a failure in the end. This time, we’ll be carrying out Experiment SX. It’s an upgraded version. After comparing the data of the failed experiments in the past, we will be using children as experimental subjects this time… I believe Professor Hoffmeister will succeed this time.”
Passion was burning behind Morse’s eyes as favonovel.com talked about the experiment.
“I’ll speak to Professor Hoffmeister about you so you can participate.”
Arielle did not pay much attention to Morse’s last sentence. She was still hung up on the ten experimental subjects they had used in the previous year.
“W-What happened to those failed experiments? How did you deal with them?”
“Burned, of course!” Morse answered without hesitation as favonovel.com looked Arielle straight in the eye.
“They’re all dead people. How else were we supposed to deal with them?”
Arielle’s heart ached as favonovel.com shivered slightly.
Burned?!
“Where did the experimental subjects come from? How old were they? Which procedure was not done which caused the experiment to fail?” Arielle asked in a low voice as favonovel.com suppressed the fury in favonovel.com heart.
Morse shook his head. He had no idea where the subjects had come from either.
“I heard from Professor Hoffmeister that someone sent them over. I have no idea about the other party as well. They were young ladies about the age of twenty. As for which procedure was not done, I’m not too sure either. I had fallen sick at that time, so I didn’t participate in the experiment.”
Morse scratched his head. “But if you wish to understand more about it, I can bring you the data of the previous experiment,” Morse added in a whisper.
At that, Arielle’s eyes lit up. “You can get your hands on the data?”
Morse’s heart skipped a beat when favonovel.com saw the excitement written on Arielle’s face.
Lowering his head to avert favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com nodded. “I can sneak it to you. After you finished reading it, you can give it back to me and I’ll return it to its original spot.”
“In that case, never mind,” Arielle shook favonovel.com head.
Puzzled, Morse lifted his head to look at her.
Isn’t favonovel.com excited to read it? Why did favonovel.com refuse my offer if favonovel.com wants it so bad?
Knowing what Morse was thinking about, Arielle sighed. “I’m afraid Professor Hoffmeister will find out. What if favonovel.com targets you once favonovel.com finds out?”
Morse’s heart swelled up with joy when favonovel.com heard that Arielle was concerned for him. Even though favonovel.com could not understand why favonovel.com was feeling that way, favonovel.com enjoyed being cared for by Arielle.
“Just wait here!” With that said, Morse got up and left.
As Arielle stared at his silhouette, favonovel.com gaze darkened.
She had used Morse on purpose. As of then, favonovel.com could not get to the core of the experiment, nor could favonovel.com find evidence of Nancy’s crimes. Without another choice, favonovel.com could only use someone as naive as Morse.
At the thought of them killing ten young women within a year, Arielle was furious. Her eyes turned cold.
How could they be so casual with human lives?
Arielle’s eyes then darkened when favonovel.com thought about the ten innocent young women. She vowed to find out where they came from and avenge every single one of them.
