Beast World: The villain mermaid cub refuses to become a good person

Chapter 223 Give me your contact information
"Hello, my name is... Yu Manman."

“Yu Manman…” Ed King looked at the girl in front of him, his lips slightly pursed, “Do you know Ray?”

“He is my fourth father.” Yu said with a clear conscience.

The man in front of me is the senior that Fourth Uncle mentioned.

Ed nodded. "I heard you discovered a toxin that can turn primitive species into corrupted species?"

“Yes.” Yu Manman nodded.

“Let me see the test results,” Ed said.

"Here you go!" Yu Manman immediately handed him the test data.

Ed glanced at it and said, "Did Ray teach you your medical skills?"

Yu Manman nodded, "Yes, it was Fourth Uncle who taught me!"

Ed looked at her seriously. "Not bad!"

Such a talented girl, and she's from the Lai family, really...

If only this girl were my own!
"So, are you studying medicine at that school in District 19?" I wish I could snatch her away and make her my student.

If I can teach Lai Yi's daughter and become Yu Manman's teacher, then haven't I also won against Lai Yi?

Yu Manman shook her head, "I didn't study medicine at Kyushu University."

Ed's expression cracked slightly. "You're not studying medicine?"

Such a promising talent, why isn't he studying medicine?
Has Ray lost his mind? Why is he just letting her do whatever she wants?
Ed really wanted to beat his chest and stomp his feet to question Lai.

"Yes, but I also study medicine in my spare time."

After hearing Yu Manman's words, Ed's expression finally improved.

fine……

"If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."

“I know!” Yu Manman said crisply, “Fourth Uncle told me the same thing. He said if there’s anything I don’t understand, I can visit you!”

Ed snorted, "After all these years, I thought he had long forgotten me!"

If he hasn't forgotten me, then why hasn't he contacted me all these years? Does he not even consider me a friend?
Ed gritted his teeth and turned his attention to the test report. The further he read, the more serious his expression became…

This toxin is no ordinary substance.

"Manman, I heard you've seen this toxin before, and that's why you recognized the strangeness of that corrupted creature?"

“Yes!” Yu Manman then told Ed what she had just said to Ackerman.

When Ed heard that Ray had been suffering from this toxin for many years, his expression changed once again!
"You mean, Ray has been poisoned by this for over ten years? And now the toxin has mutated?" Ed's face was very serious, unable to imagine what Ray had gone through back then!
Yu Manman pursed her lips. "Fourth Father has been researching on his own all these years, but he still hasn't been able to cure the poison in his body." "Researching on his own?" Ed said coldly. "Does he think he's a genius and doesn't need anyone's help?"

He's really capable!

“No… Fourth Father probably just doesn’t want others to get involved and implicate others,” Yu Manman explained. “After Fourth Father was poisoned, he would occasionally lose control, and he probably didn’t want to accidentally hurt others.”

"It'll still get out of control?" Ed jumped up and down in anger. "Even in this state, he's still stubbornly holding on. That's just like him!"

Worried about implicating others? Fine, fine! In his heart, he really isn't even a friend! Isn't he the "other person"?
Yu Manman looked at Professor Ed, and she could sense that Professor Ed cared a lot about her fourth father.

Ed calmed down and said, "I'm going to take charge of this."

"Manman, give me your fourth uncle's contact information in a bit!"

That hateful, heartless, and cold-hearted man, Ray. Although they occasionally clashed back then, they were still quite familiar with each other, yet he didn't even leave me his contact information! Did I have to take the initiative myself?

“Let’s talk about that poison first!” Ed said. “This poison is no ordinary poison. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a bizarre toxin. We must find its source! If this poison spreads, it will cause a great deal of panic!”

Yu Manman nodded, "This poison should have been destroyed in that fire. We weren't sure if any of it had ended up elsewhere back then, but judging from the current situation, someone must have known that the Burroughs family was researching this stuff."

“I think we can ask my fourth uncle. He probably knows a lot, and maybe he knows some clues?” Yu Manman didn’t know much either, and many years had passed.

“We’ll contact your father.” They nodded.

Then they looked at Ed: "Professor Ed, do you have any leads now? Are you confident you can cure this poison?"

“Well… I’m not sure yet; I need to do further research,” Ed replied after a moment’s thought.

“Um…” Yu Manman raised her hand and slowly spoke again, “This poison is very similar to the one that Fourth Uncle was poisoned with back then. Fourth Uncle has an antidote, which may help in the research of an antidote for this poison.”

The poison that Fourth Uncle was poisoned with back then is very similar to the toxin in the blood of this Fallen One now, so the antidote should be similar as well.

"But you shouldn't have too high hopes. Once you're poisoned by this toxin, if you don't get the antidote injected beforehand or take it within ten minutes of being poisoned, both primitive races and orcs will go into a state of madness, similar to the corrupted races..."

Once you become a corrupted species, there is no chance of recovery.

Even if the poison has been neutralized, the damage it caused to the body is irreversible.

Ed frowned. "Then... how long does the antidote take effect after injection?"

"Well... it takes about three years, but it's not completely effective. People with weak constitutions will still be at risk of infection."

This toxin can be considered a type of virus.

Even if an antidote is injected and antibodies are formed in the body, it's not 100% effective protection. If someone is injected with this type of toxin, there's a chance the antibodies in their body will become ineffective.

Because the toxins in Ray's body change in a short cycle, they undergo certain mutations every once in a while, and it is difficult to find a pattern. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to develop an antidote. Usually, the speed of developing an antidote is not as fast as the mutations.

"This has not been tested on a large scale, so the specific effectiveness still needs to be verified."

This poison was inherently insidious. After it was created and thoroughly studied, it was destroyed by Ray. Ray couldn't possibly experiment on humans, so he only conducted some experiments on mice. After the experiments, he also exterminated all the mice and even carefully burned them to ashes.
