Chapter 1716 Burned
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 she was there, she noticed that while Morse was very well-versed in medicine, he was lacking in interpersonal and social skills. That made him an easy target for her to ask questions.
Morse did not understand why Arielle had asked that question, but he 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 her eyes as she kept her 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 he had just read, he 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 he 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 he 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 she shivered slightly. Burned!
Knowing what Morse was thinking about, Arielle sighed. “I’m afraid Professor Hoffmeister will find out. What if he targets you once he finds out?”
Morse’s heart swelled up with joy when he heard that Arielle was concerned for him. Even though he could not understand why he was feeling that way, he enjoyed being cared for by Arielle.
“Just wait here!” With that said, Morse got up and left. As Arielle stared at his silhouette, her gaze darkened.
She had used Morse on purpose. As of then, she could not get to the core of the experiment, nor could she find evidence of Nancy’s crimes. Without another choice, she could only use someone as naïve 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 she thought about the ten innocent young women. She vowed to find out where they came from and avenge every single one of them.
