Chapter 556 Striving to Become Useful
Beatrice was curious about Evefeya's work. Virology and life alchemy were unrelated, but life forms were related to life alchemy.

If Evereya asked her to study a vial of virus, Beatrice would have no interest, but if it were a living organism, she would be interested.

Although Evefeya was under surveillance, her life was not affected, and it was quite easy for White Curtain to find her.

After the white curtain summoned Beatrice back to Evefeya's residence, Beatrice became much easier to talk to.

The two were whispering to each other in the lab, and Bai Mu didn't try to eavesdrop.

Evefeya emerged from the laboratory, her expression somewhat hesitant.

Beatrice's life alchemy was indeed quite impressive, helping her discover some problems with Lúthien and incidentally promoting a biological tissue called nerve enhancement.

What made Evefeya hesitate was that this biological tissue was very suitable for Lúthien, because Lúthien himself possessed 'telekinesis'.

Strengthening her nerves will make her even stronger in this area, and the growth potential she gains in her body is not to be underestimated.

She had already read Atelier's research data. If that woman wasn't lying to her, then the enhanced nerves would be extremely attractive to Eve.

Furthermore, since Lucien's development is not yet complete, Lucien still has a lot of potential, and the nerve enhancement can be used on Lucien immediately.

However, it was clear that Beatrice's goal was to use Lucien as a test subject.

"You still have feelings for her?" Beatrice asked Evefeya in the laboratory.

Evefeya hesitated, for Lúthien was created by her own genes.

She poured a lot of effort into it and found it difficult to treat Lucien as a tool.

After all, according to her plan, she was raising Lucien as her own 'daughter', otherwise Lucien wouldn't only have the appearance of a fourteen-year-old.

Evefeya is not opposed to bio-modification technology. She herself has used enhancement viruses, and the performance of the enhanced nerves is higher than many enhancement viruses she knows.

The remaining problems with Lucien can be quickly eliminated and optimized by strengthening her nerves, thus shortening the time required for perfect cultivation.

It can even enhance the controllability brought by the enhanced nerves, so that after Lucien is fully perfected, it will not violate the city's defense agreement.

Even so, Evelya did not intend to complete the final step within the city. She needed to find an opportunity to send Lúthien outside the city, to a place not covered by the defense agreement, and to fully awaken her.

Otherwise, it would be better to keep it frozen.

After all, she is currently under supervision. If she awakens Lúthien and the city's defense agreement discovers this, she may not be able to retain custody of Lúthien.

Strengthening the nerves allows Lúthien to remain in a frozen state for a long time, and her physical condition will not decline. On the contrary, it will continue to increase due to the individual's mental strength.

At the same time, the cost of maintaining the freeze can be greatly reduced, and even in the event of a power outage, it can maintain a relatively long period of frozen dormancy.

“She’s even more amazing than before,” Evereya praised Beatrice, whose life alchemy was far more advanced than when they last met.

They have a great deal of knowledge about demons.

After careful consideration, Evereya decided to use the nerve enhancement provided by Atrist.

That thing was difficult to make, but Beatrice provided it for free for testing purposes; you reap what you sow.

During the time Evefeya had to consider it, she specifically asked Beatrice some questions and saw some of the Shadow Organization's research materials before making this decision.

Strengthening the nerves is fine, as long as Atrist doesn't tamper with them.

Evefeya doesn't trust Beatrice, but she still trusts White Curtain.

With the assurance of the white curtain, Evefeya began the subsequent additions and improvements.

Beatrice is more skilled in this area; her life alchemy allows her to implant enhanced nerves into Lúthien without leaving any trace.

After the implantation was completed, from the outside, it was as if Lucien had not undergone any special 'surgery', and she didn't even bleed much.

"You were quite well-developed when you were young." Beatrice wiped her hands clean and looked at Lucienne, who was lying on the bed with many connecting tubes all over her body. She was in a good mood.

This is an exceptional experimental subject, possessing the characteristics of a primordial demon, a product of pure demon blood combined with human genes.

However, the addition of a biochemical virus related to the White Curtain to his body further enhanced his physical strength.

In this respect, Evereya took a shortcut; she didn't actually use the White Curtain's genes in a sneaky way.

The usable biochemical viruses were further cultured using the blood of the White Curtain.

"I was probably around fourteen years old, and my physical measurements were even more perfect than they were back then."

"Can a carefully crafted organism not be perfect? ​​I have tried to create a more perfect body before, but I gave up because I didn't understand the knowledge of the soul realm."

Beatrice examined Lucien's body. To maintain a long-lasting youth, simply changing bodies was a very quick and safe method.

Especially the body that is customized to your own needs, it is easy to use and there is no rejection, and you will not feel uncomfortable after the replacement is completed.

However, due to technical difficulties, Beatrice ultimately failed to take that step.

It's possible now, but she's already dead. The Lución that Evefeya created was much simpler; Evefeya could provide the raw materials herself, and it didn't require the aid of alchemy.

In every sense, Lúthien is indeed Evefeya's 'daughter,' only she wasn't born naturally.

Furthermore, this daughter possesses the power of a primal demon, has undergone biochemical modifications, and now has had her nervous system enhanced.

This is a super-individual; in the past, Atelier would have been extremely interested in this body.

This body has incredible potential.

A good body is used to test the enhanced nerves, which will allow her to get the desired results faster. Maintaining the status quo and observing for a couple more days will allow her to proceed to the next stage of the experiment.

For the next two days, Beatrice kept a close eye on Lúthien's condition, her enthusiasm making Evefeya somewhat uncomfortable.

With the observation period over, Evefeya breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The fusion between the enhanced nerves and Lúthien is very high. To ensure there are no problems, she has been studying some of the research materials of the Shadow Organization for the past two days.

"The enhanced nerve was taken from the leader of that organization. Are you sure the residue has been completely removed?"

"Are you doubting my skills or my brain?" Beatrice glanced at the woman.

"I will also use nerve-strengthening techniques on my body to ensure there are no flaws in this area!"

She knew what Evelyn was worried about; she was simply concerned that the leader of the Shadow Organization had left something behind.

Strengthening the nervous system is related to the mind, and if that thing carries the residual mental will of those leaders, it could have a serious impact on Lúthien.

But when Beatrice dealt with these enhanced nerves, she used the Dustless Jade.

That thing can filter the soul, filtering out the 'residue' of spiritual will within it, naturally cleansing the enhanced nerves completely.

With the 'purifying' effect of the Dustless Jade, these enhanced nerves are just like brand new ones.

"That's good." Evefeya put Lucien back into the culture tank, where the nutrients would accelerate her growth.

"Nothing else." Beatrice waited. She had made an appointment with White Curtain; as soon as the time came, White Curtain would lift the summons to her.

Evefeya calmly watched as Beatrice disappeared into the laboratory, then her gaze returned to Lúthien.

She had never been a mother, and her purpose in creating Lucien was to give herself more say in the family.

However, this goal is no longer useful. In terms of safety, there are currently sufficient guarantees. So let's raise Lucien as our real daughter.

"The reintegration of the enhanced nerves is fine, and we can make new modifications to Lafayette's body. However, in order for the enhanced nerves to play their proper role, she must be active outdoors frequently."

After being resummoned by the White Curtain, Atreus immediately reported that she had her own selfish motives.

After Lahuana's transformation is complete, she will also undergo new transformations on her own body.

Her physical attributes aren't great, but with continuous optimization and improvement, Bai Mu will eventually miss out on her increasingly useful body.

"Then hurry up." The white curtain summoned Lahuana's body.

Beatrice immediately carried Lafayette's body to the alchemy workshop and began the next stage of modification.

This is not a complex modification; the most complex part has been consumed by the research and processing of enhanced nerves.

The rest is a simple process: use life alchemy to open the skull while ensuring the body has vital signs, complete the attachment and fusion of the enhanced nerves, and then use life alchemy to repair the operated area.

After observing Lafayette's body for most of the day, Beatrice even conducted some provocative tests.

She synchronized Lapha's phantom with her physical body for a temporary awakening. After passing this test, she confirmed that there was no problem with the stability of the enhanced nerves.

Lucien's unique biological body can normally use enhanced nerves, and Lafayette's body, which can temporarily mutate, can also normally use enhanced nerves.

There's no reason for him to have any health problems.

Beatrice couldn't wait to complete the subsequent modifications to her body.

And I applied to the White Curtain for a 'driving' test, and I felt like I could come back to life.

"You've been working so hard for all this time, just for this?"

"...I only realized how precious life is after I died." Beatrice made no attempt to conceal her purpose.

He was delighted to experience the new state of his body.

The demonic power brought by the pure demon blood enhanced the nervous system and strengthened the body, transforming what was originally just an ordinary human body into something completely extraordinary.

If she achieved all of this while she was alive, then what she gained far exceeded what she had ever pursued...
