——I convinced myself

i own your heart

--------------------------------

While lying on the operating table and being scanned by instruments, Selustine was still in a daze.

Luo's words sounded a bit ridiculous, but she had no doubt about the authenticity of it.

Putting aside his professionalism as a doctor, just looking at the fact that he received treatment in Germa for one year, there is a [-]% chance that what Luo said will happen.

Considering Gaji’s consistent style, it’s not a bad idea to increase this possibility to [-]%.

When he reacted, Seleustin had already shaken the sweat from his palms.

"really…"

Luo frowned as he looked at the image on the instrument display.

Something's wrong

Seleustin's heart is a shadow with no visible material. From the scan results of the instrument, it looks closer to metal. In short, it is definitely not the muscle tissue it should have originally.

Luo raised his hand and activated the scalpel, taking out the non-beating 'heart'

Normally, although the person whose heart is taken out by his ability will not die, they will definitely suffer from temporary weakness.

But when Selustine propped up his body and sat up, he didn't feel any discomfort.

There is only one reason for this exception

Her heart was manipulated

Selustine looked at the metal block taken out from his chest in Luo's hand, his expression blank.

What it is

Before she was mentally prepared, she was about to be forced to accept the cruel and bloody facts.

Luo didn't look at her, but looked at the metal block very carefully.

Its shape is somewhat similar to a real heart, probably to prevent abnormalities from being discovered. It even vibrates from time to time. You can hardly feel the difference between it and a normal heart when you hold it in your hand.

How long has she been equipped with a mechanical heart?Why did Gaji do this and what was his purpose?

Thinking of this, Seleustin couldn't help but start to think about the many doubts since she woke up.

Does her sobriety really depend on her own consciousness?What if Gaji found a way to manipulate her waking hours?

In that case, Gaji's absence when she woke up was not a coincidence at all. Maybe Reiju would take the opportunity to take her away later, which was also what Gaji expected.

He knew that he would definitely run away, but he didn't take it seriously and even let her leave.

This kind of confidence is nothing more than the fact that this heart has been replaced.

With her lifeline being controlled, it doesn't matter where she is now. Anyway, as long as Gaji wants to dominate her, Seleustin can't resist.

Because he controls her life and death

Luo carefully inspected the "mechanical heart" and tried not to destroy its blood supply function. After all, before finding Seleustin's real heart, this heart was the foundation of her life. Once it was destroyed, it would not be a big deal. for fun

No one knows what effect that will have on her.

The mechanical parts used in this heart were too precise. Luo brought instruments to assist his abilities. It took him a long time to simply understand its structure.

Strangely, inside this "heart", in addition to the part used to complete blood circulation, there seems to be an empty sac filled with an unknown substance.

Luo guessed this because several thin tubes protruded from its back and were slowly dripping light blue liquid. In just a short time, several drops of water stains accumulated on Luo's palm.

The texture is a little sticky and the fluidity is poor.

Luo took off the shell of unknown material, and the contents that filled the entire empty bag made him frown unconsciously.

"what is this?"

Seleustin stood behind him, her face turning pale at some point. She put her hand on the back of Luo's chair, her fingertips trembling slightly.

It's full of light blue, gel-like liquid

The color of the liquid looks very similar to the nutrient solution in her culture chamber, but the texture is many times thicker.

Such things have been continuously diluted and slowly mixed into the blood flowing through the heart.

With the blood flowing throughout her body

Luo shook his head. He still couldn't tell what this thing was, but it was undoubtedly one of the crucial reasons why her heart was replaced.

He neatly cut off this part of the empty capsule, and easily dismantled the micro bomb hidden in the gap between the mechanical gears.

After the bomb was destroyed, the "heart" stopped vibrating, and Luo quickly turned back to confirm whether Seleustin was okay.

When he saw her lowering her eyes and looking pale but still shaking her head to indicate that there was no danger, he let out a faint sigh of relief.

There is one tracker left. Once it is resolved, it will no longer be a threat.

If it was destroyed directly, the person who implanted it would probably notice it in an instant, so Luo just took it out and carefully glued it to the glass piece nearby.

After he checked again and again to make sure that there was no other threatening thing, he activated his ability again and put the metal block, which was only about half of its original volume, back into Seleustin's chest.

Until Seleustin's true heart is found, this thing can only be used to temporarily maintain her life for a short period of time.

Luo stood up and stared closely at Selustine's expression.

And what about Seleustin?She hesitated a little, raised her hand to cover her heart

She can't hear her heartbeat or feel any vibrations. I'm afraid she doesn't have a pulse now either.

Except that her blood is still warm and she can move and think, she is like a dead person without any characteristics of being alive.

An extremely strong sadness and vulnerability suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart. This was an emotion that Selustine had not felt since she woke up.

She was instantly overwhelmed by these devastating things, and the soreness in her chest seemed to be venting something, even causing physical pain.

As if she had lost all strength, Selustine squatted down, clutched her chest, and gasped for breath.

She lowered her head, frowning, but her eyes were wide open, and her vision was gradually blurred by tears.

Those emotions that should have been expressed normally have been suppressed for too long, and they burst out at this moment without reservation.

Want to cry, want to escape, want to hide to cover up the fear in my heart

Selustine curled up on the ground, desperately suppressing the sobs that were about to burst out of her throat. The overly complicated and turbulent emotions were about to drive her to lose her mind, and her whole body was on the verge of collapse.

A big hand was placed on her head, gently and with heartbreaking warmth.

She raised her head and looked up at the figure who was already blurry in her vision with eyes that were red from holding back. She could taste blood between her lips and teeth. She probably bit her lower lip too hard and drew blood.

There was no expression on Luo's face, and there was no emotion in the eyes that were staring down at her. The next moment, he picked up Selustine who was squatting on the ground and pulled her into his arms.

Surrounded by the sudden temperature, Seleustin suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck before she could react, and she fell softly into Luo's arms, falling into darkness.

Luo, who had knocked her unconscious without any hesitation, caught her firmly and looked at the half-shelled 'heart' placed on the table with an unclear expression.

The light blue liquid inside is transparent and beautiful, but it gives people an inexplicable premonition of extreme danger.

After taking it out, Selustine's reaction seemed to confirm his suspicion.

Her uncontrollable state on the verge of collapse just now was like the withdrawal reaction of a person who has taken dependent drugs for a long time and suddenly stopped taking the drug.

I'm afraid she has been exposed to this kind of thing for a long time

Long enough to make her irresistibly dependent

"Lord Iji, the information you requested has been brought over."

The soldier wearing Germa combat uniform respectfully handed a stack of papers in front of Iji, who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed to relax.

After Iji took the information, he leaned over slightly and exited the room.

Iji was the only one left in Noda's room. He squinted at the information in his hand. In the center of the first page, a big word 'Classified' was stamped with red ink, which made him smile playfully.

He leaned back on the sofa again and flipped through the pages carelessly. The more he read, the more he understood.

The truth of the whole thing is gradually coming to light

What Iji was looking at at this moment was research data on a drug.

This drug is a light blue liquid that can affect people's psychological conditions, including emotional perception, empathy, etc. It is predicted that the finished product of the drug will have the power to change personality. It has been related to this drug since about 20 years ago. research records

Its name is ED-16, with the prefix referring to the drug's level of danger as 'Extremely Dangerous', the highest level of 'extremely dangerous'.

Iji turned to the section on living subjects, and the records in front of him confirmed his suspicion.

The latest data comes from the experimental subject numbered '0-M006', whose individual name is 'Vinsmoke Renee'

The experiment lasted for one year, and the person who recorded the first phase was Yong Zhi.

This is why it was clearly just a simple status record but it was left to Yongji. Considering the confidentiality, it was foolproof to let him be responsible.

Although looking at Yongji's appearance, I'm afraid he himself hasn't realized the true purpose of his father sending him this mission.

Continuing to read, the content of the next few pages made Iji sit up straight and read every word very carefully.

In the second phase of the experiment, based on the normal physiological activities of the experimental subjects, the effects and effects of the administration of drugs after leaving the culture chamber were studied.

[0-M006已被植入ED-16输入装置，原身体组织存放于11号仓库，位置0302]

Iji put down the information in his hand, stood up, and walked towards Warehouse No. 11 in the records.

On the paper that was left in place, the last line said this

[Experiment progress: The self-awareness of the experimental subject has been awakened and it is ready to enter the next stage of observation period. It is recommended to keep the experimental subject in a highly active state]

Iji strode towards his destination, calculating the whole situation.

Renee's awakening is not random, but because the one-year static observation period has ended and the experiment needs to enter the next stage.

It is also expected that she would be chosen as the experimental subject. After all, Sanji and Renee have unnecessary feelings left and have no natural pursuit of killing and plundering. Naturally, they will not obey their father's orders. They treat Germa The lack of a sense of belonging may also come from this

Therefore, it is perfect to take this opportunity to transform her psychology and bring her closer to her father's ideal state.

But there's one thing Iji doesn't understand

Although it was necessary to observe Renee's activity and complete the experimental records, why could her father let her go with such confidence?

Only by controlling the movements of the experimental subjects can we observe them. Now I am afraid that Renee has escaped with the help of Reiju. How can her father make her return to Germa willingly again?

Such questions were answered when I saw the contents of box 11 in warehouse No. 0302.

A smile appeared on Iji's lips again, and there was surprise in his slightly shrunken pupils. Then, in the end, only the amusement that occupied his eyes was left.

He reached out and took out the bottle, which contained organs soaked in nutrient solution to maintain activity.

That was replaced from Seleustin

A bright red beating heart
