There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"so weird."

Looking at Parvez's back, Talina instinctively felt uncomfortable.

Although the old man was very kind, Talina had other opinions about him based on her own guesses.

She saw a familiar figure on Parvis' back.

Lorcan Williams!

The infamous scientist who experimented on young children.

In Talina's eyes, Parvis's back at this moment was almost the same as Locke's, but the difference was that Parvis did not have that timid and hesitant emotion.

All he had was a calmness as peaceful as water, as if everything was under his control.

"I hope I'm wrong..."

Talina whispered, frowning.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Muirseth, who was standing beside Talina, heard Talina talking to herself and asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing."

Shaking her head, Talina pretended to be stunned.

This was Rhine's territory, and Parvis and Muirseth were the directors here, so she didn't need to deal with them.

If something really happened to Ifrit, then Saria would definitely be the first person to cause trouble for the old goat. Talina was absolutely sure of this.

The care and concern that Saria had shown before didn't seem fake, but...

A defense chief with a strong sense of justice?

Is this some kind of joke?

Toot~

Just as Talina was watching this so-called treatment intently, Muirseth's cell phone suddenly rang.

"What? Out? Okay, I'll be there soon!"

The information on the other end of the phone seemed important, and Muirseth responded seriously.

"You stay here first. Saria and I have something to take care of. We'll come find you when we're done."

Patting Talina on the shoulder, Muirseth temporarily interrupted the experiment.

Coming to Parvis, Muirses looked at the "kind" old man and said, "Sorry, Saria and I have something to talk about. Please stop for a moment."

"Since there is something urgent, let's deal with it first."

Parvez's response surprised Talina.

Is there something wrong with stopping the treatment that is about to begin so casually?

"Well, thank you."

Without thinking too much, Muirseth simply thanked her, then walked into the glass house and talked with Saria.

After a while, the two of them walked out together, with sad looks on their faces, as if they were entangled in something bad.

In the room, Ifrit, sitting on the hospital bed, looked at Saria's back and raised his arm weakly, trying to hold on to something, but when he saw Hemer and Talina by the window, he quickly withdrew his hand.

My "guardian" and a childhood friend are here!

Why is she so reluctant to leave?

"Teacher, Saria is gone. Should we postpone this treatment..."

Like Ifrit, Hemer watched Saria walk out of the structural department laboratory and breathed a sigh of relief.

The treatment dose this time is much larger than before. If Saria, who is responsible for the safety of the experiment, leaves, Ifrit will become out of control, and danger may occur at that time.

For the sake of safety, the most reliable solution is to not treat the disease and postpone it.

But how could Parvez do as Hemer wished?

"Director Saria is busy. This is her job. Hemer, we can't just blindly seek Director Saria's help."

Ignoring the stranger Talina, Parvis chatted with Hummer.

"Director Saria is from the Defense Department. What's the big deal about her going to the Structural Department every day? Besides..."

Having said this, Parvez suddenly stopped and the expression on his face changed into a kind look.

Are all the people in Rhine Life chameleons?

This is the case with Muirses, and now it is the same with Parvis. Are you sure their race is not Safra?

"Director Saria has been very busy lately. Didn't you notice that she fell asleep while she was in there with Ifrit just now?"

Parvez seemed to be trying to persuade Hemer, but Talina felt something was wrong.

Are you sure this isn't PUA?

"Okay, Hummer, I believe in you, and I believe Ifrit is strong enough. For her future, just go for it."

"...yes."

Perhaps Parvez's words worked, and Hemer agreed with difficulty.

Patting He Lingmo's shoulders, under the command of Parron Jiuweisi, the treatment eight that had just been stopped was restarted again, and this time the speed was much faster than before.

In the treatment room, Ifrit looked at the man in the white coat holding the restraints walking towards her, instinctively rejecting him and threatening him with a bared teeth.

"I do not want!"

His whole body was resisting. Ifrit lowered his eyes and growled like a wild beast.

"What are you doing?!"

Seeing this scene, Hemer rushed in directly, opened his arms and stood in front of Ifrit like a feathered beast protecting its cub.

"Researcher Hemer, this is for safety reasons."

The researcher, who had previously had friction with Hemer, looked at Hemer impatiently for interrupting him and said, "You know the dosage for this treatment. With Director Saria not here, who will ensure the patient's safety?"

The young researcher's words left Hemer speechless, but she was unwilling to leave. She just stood in front of Ifrit, that was all.

"Hemer..."

After pulling Hemer's sleeve, Ifrit was already a little shaken.

She didn't want to see Hemer embarrassed because of her.

"Ahaha! Senior, I'll handle this kind of thing. You should go back first. Director Parvez's matter is more important."

Just as the two were in a stalemate, a young Caprini came out and chatted between them.

"Hmph, I'll leave it to you then."

With the ladder, the young researcher was happy and walked down.

If it wasn't arranged by Parvez, why would he come here to do such a thing?

"Alright, Senior, let's get ready and get out of here. Delaying treatment won't be good for Ifrit."

Handing the restraints to Hemer, Researcher Caprini smiled innocently.

"Ah."

Without refusing, Hemer took the restraints and began to protect Ifrit's limbs.

Perhaps because there was someone familiar around her, Ifrit's resistance was much less. After realizing that her hands and feet could move freely, she gave Hemer a reassuring smile.

After looking at each other, Hemer walked out silently. Researcher Caprini, who was following behind her, made a face at Ifrit and then walked out with Hemer.

Now, Ifrit was the only one left in the huge treatment room.

The empty white room surrounded Ifrit, making her feel extremely small. Coupled with the group of people in white coats standing in front of the glass window in the distance, Ifrit's bad memories were brought back.

Just as she was about to break free, a tall figure appeared in her mind.

"It's okay... It's okay... I promised Saria that I would hold it in. I can hold it in!"

To encourage himself, Ifrit clenched his hands tightly.

In panic, she saw a small figure by the glass window. It was her only remaining memory from her childhood. Perhaps their relationship could only be described as acquaintance, but now he was one of her only remaining friends.

Outside the glass window, Talina's mouth opened and closed, conveying some information to Ifrit. Ifrit watched carefully and read it out loud with his mouth.

"Come on...fuel...I'll give you...candy...after you get out."

On the other side, in the garden of the Ecology Department, Saria and Muirses sat in front of a computer, staring at the content on it.

On the computer screen was the second half of the videotape they had seen before, which was also the missing important information.

Volume 4: Chapter 98: "Desperate Volunteers"

"Could you please make me a cup of coffee, Joyce? Thank you for your hard work."

Parvis took off his glasses and wiped them with a handkerchief, removing all the dirt.

After taking off his glasses, Parvez's vision became blurry, as if covered by a layer of mosaic. The scene before him made him realize a fact.

He is old.

"Yes, are all the data the same as before?"

The white-haired Li Boli replied, and his strange tone and accent made Lina shift her gaze away from Ifrit and observe this strange researcher.

"Well, I hope everything is normal."

"Understood. It will be processed in approximately three minutes and seventeen seconds and will arrive in five minutes and forty seconds."

Like a machine... No, it should be said that this woman is like a robot in human skin. If her movements were not so smooth, Talina would almost think she was seeing things.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After thanking Joyce, Parvis put his glasses back on.

The clear scene reappeared before his eyes, calming his panicked heart a little.

"It's a shame, isn't it?"

Looking at Ifrit who was suppressing his pain across the glass, Parvis suddenly spoke.

"Hmm? Are you talking to me?"

After looking around, Talina made sure that Parvez was talking to her before she responded.

"I don't know much about her situation, but according to Director Muirseth, Sister Joyce seems to have become like this because of an experimental accident. If it weren't for this incident, she might have become an outstanding scholar."

Parvis turned to look at Talina. "Yes, the rising star was brought down by greed. Shortsighted, they only saw the immediate benefits, but ignored the fact that Joyce himself could lead them to greater heights."

"But why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

Talina asked in confusion, not understanding why the other party told her such a thing.

She was not familiar with Parvis and Joyce at all, and she only had a one-sided acquaintance with the latter. Why did she tell a stranger about it?

"Please forgive me for investigating you without your permission. After all, you're a new face in the Rhine, so I can't help but be curious. If my intelligence is correct, you and Ifrit were in the same laboratory, right?"

To Talina's surprise, Parvez made her uncomfortable as soon as he opened his mouth.

This was something she didn't want to recall, and even thinking about it would make her irritated. Now that it had been revealed, Talina's mood wasn't any better.

"So what?"

"I think if it were you, you might understand the reasoning behind it."

Parvez sent everyone around him away, leaving only him and Talina standing there.

"After all, as long as we recruit from outside, there will be as many 'desperate' volunteers as we want, right? So sacrificing a talented researcher is really putting the cart before the horse."

With emotion, Parvis's pity for Joyce was extremely genuine, without any other emotions mixed in, it was completely sincere regret.

Because of this, Talina was so shocked.

Is this person... a lunatic?

What is a “desperate volunteer”?

"You seem surprised? Having lived in a place like that, wouldn't you be deeply affected by this kind of thing?"

"There are many people in this world who have nowhere else to turn. Failed investments, bankrupt businesses, and destroyed families are enough to destroy a person and make them lose the courage to continue living. When they do, they are no longer considered human beings."
