Chapter 76: He was fine!
“He doesn’t have a heartbeat,” Irius said quietly.For the first few seconds, nobody moved.It felt like the entire room had frozen.The emergency lights flickered once before going out completely, plunging the room into a tense dimness.Desmond’s eyes widened slightly. “What?”Asher immediately stepped forward again, dropping beside Elias. He pressed two fingers against his neck, then his wrist. His expression darkened instantly.“No pulse,” he muttered.Vivian, still weak and dazed, only stared blankly at Elias, as though her mind hadn’t fully processed what was happening.Elias… dead?No.She slowly shook her head.Her heartbeat spiked instantly, her breathing becoming uneven again as panic started creeping back in.“Oh my God,” Zoe whispered, covering her mouth with both hands.Desmond stood rigid, his gaze fixed on Elias’ body, which remained completely still. There was no movement, not even a slow rise and fall of his chest.Asher slowly lowered his hand from Elias’ neck.The si
Chapter 75: A dangerous procedure
“It’s dangerous,” Elias said.Silence fell across the room instantly.Desmond’s eyes narrowed. “Dangerous how?”Elias glanced once toward Vivian.She was curled slightly against the containment floor now, breathing unevenly while dark veins continued spreading beneath her skin.Then he looked back at them.“There’s a procedure Blackfinger created years ago,” he said slowly. “It’s called Resonance Transfer.”Asher’s expression changed slightly.“You know about that method?” he asked.Elias nodded once.“It was designed for emergency serum stabilization,” he explained. “When a subject’s body starts rejecting a serum too aggressively, another compatible host can forcefully absorb the reaction before it completely destroys the victim’s system.”Zoe looked confused. “Wait… absorb it?”Elias’ jaw tightened.“My body has adapted to dark serums for years,” he said. “If anyone here can survive taking the reaction into themselves… it’s me.”The room went still again.Desmond stared at him for a
Chapter 74: We're going to save you
“This is bad,” Asher said slowly. “The system might try to kill Vivian.”Nobody spoke for a few seconds.It was as though the weight of his words had settled heavily on their chests.Zoe froze, her heart racing in panic.Desmond stared at Asher, tension tightening across his face.“So what do we do?” he asked.Asher looked at him, and for the first time since all of this started, there was uncertainty in his eyes.“I’m… not so sure.”Desmond clenched his teeth.BANG!His fist slammed hard against the wall, leaving a dent in the concrete surface. The impact cracked the bones in his hand instantly, but they began healing almost immediately.No one spoke.At that moment…The soft blue glow surrounding Vivian’s containment unit shifted. From blue to red.The entire chamber flashed crimson.A sharp warning sound echoed through the room.“That’s not good,” Irius muttered immediately.His expression darkened as he stared at the system.“She’s already getting flagged.”“Oh my God…” Zoe whispe
Chapter 73: A beginner compared to me
“So how,” he said quietly, “did the last one get out?”“Then how did the last one get out?”The lab attendant froze.His heart pounded violently against his chest, not just because he didn’t have an answer… but because of the way Black Finger turned toward him.Like a predator locking onto a prey.“Answer me.”The attendant flinched at the command, his entire body trembling.“I-I have no idea,” he stammered quickly. “We were all trying to track down the Golden Finger and shut down the exits.”“Really?”Black Finger stepped closer slowly.The sound of his boots against the broken floor echoed through the ruined lab.The attendant’s breathing grew uneven.“Did one of you betray me?” Black Finger asked quietly.The man’s eyes widened instantly.He dropped to the ground so fast his knees hit painfully against the floor.“I would never!” he cried out. “We would never do such a thing! We know what you would do to us if we did.”A faint smirk touched Black Finger’s eyes.Even though the lowe
Chapter 72: Yes, boss.
The lab no longer resembled the place it once was.Days had passed since the incident, but the damage still clung to every surface like a wound that refused to heal.Shattered glass crunched faintly underfoot. Sections of the walls were scorched, dark burn marks spreading outward.Broken equipment lay scattered across the floor, some completely destroyed, others half-intact, their exposed wires hanging lifelessly.Then slow, measured footsteps began to echo.A man stepped into the lab.He was dressed in all black. Dark pants and a hoodie pulled over his head, casting shadows over his face. A black mask covered the lower half of it, leaving only his cold, brown eyes visible.He stood over six feet tall, his presence filling the ruined space without effort.There was no rush nor hesitation in his movements. He walked forward slowly, his gaze sweeping across the lab.A lab attendant rushed forward.He was a middle-aged man, his petite frame trembling, streaks of gray visible in his hair.
Chapter 71: In other words
“What if it entered through her pores… and got into her bloodstream?”Vivian thrashed again inside the chamber, a strained, broken sound tearing from her throat.“We have to do something,” Desmond said, his voice tight. “We have to save her.”Asher drew in a deep breath. “If this is anything like what happened to Clarissa… then an anti-serum could help.”A loud bang echoed through the room.Everyone turned to find Elias hitting the glass door with his palm from outside.“Let me in!” he said. “Let me take a look, I might be able to help.”Desmond’s expression hardened instantly.“There’s no way,” he said coldly. “We’re not doing that.”His jaw clenched as he stepped closer to the glass, staring Elias down.“I can’t trust you,” he added, his voice dropping. “Especially not with my sister.”“What do we do?” Zoe asked worriedly.Vivian had always felt like a little sister to her, and this whole situation was terrifying beyond what she could handle.“Desmond please…” she added, her voice s
