I thought it was be but it turned out to be he

The earthworker opened the sliding door and closed it again after people entered.

The room is very large, with bookcases full of books on display. Next to the largest bookcase is a table, which is full of various experimental equipment such as beakers and alcohol lamps.

As soon as Future came in, his attention was drawn to the small beaker in the middle. The liquid inside was as bright red as blood, and there was a faint fishy sweetness in the air.

Shannan picked up the beaker and asked her, "Do you care about this?"

"A little bit." She answered truthfully.

"This is my blood." He didn't mean to hide it, and raised his other hand so that she could see the gauze wrapped around his fingers.

Sui San explained to her, "The 'certain research' I told you about requires blood."

Shannan picked up another Erlenmeyer flask filled with a colorless and transparent liquid, "Changing like water, this is a drug made by Tsunami Yukimura under the secret decree of the shogunate. It is a secret medicine that can cause drastic changes in people. To put it simply, it is Strengthen human muscles and self-healing ability. But there is a fatal weakness. After taking the medicine, people will lose their rationality and degenerate into bloodthirsty monsters. Mr. Tsunado has been working on improving this medicine.”

Thinking of Qianzuru worrying about his father all day long, and not knowing how to react in the future, in Qianzuru's eyes, Tsunamichi should be a righteous and kind doctor, but in fact he is doing this kind of experiment that destroys the human body. Even the above order.

"But unfortunately he disappeared suddenly, and the drug experiment was interrupted. According to the information he left, I researched this thing. It's just that this is not complete, it still needs the last step, and I tried a lot methods, but research has stalled."

Future spread his hands helplessly, "I'm really sorry, I'm a monster extermination master, I'm good at catching monsters, and the research is..."

Shannan continued her words, "Not long ago, we discovered a kind of creature. They have powerful power and self-healing ability. Isn't it similar to the effect of turning into water?"

While speaking, he turned around and poured an appropriate amount of the liquid in the Erlenmeyer flask into several test tubes, and then used a dropper to suck the blood into one of the test tubes. The liquid reacted immediately, and the whole thing turned black. It was just this effect It didn't last long, and its color faded away in just two seconds.

"The experiment failed. The key and the final step of this experiment is blood, not animal blood, nor human blood, so we need you, Mr. Dechang."

Future stared at the colorless liquid for a long time, then gently raised the corners of his mouth, "Ghost's...blood."

Shannan didn't deny it, but he still said with the mentality of giving it a try, "The Lord Chang is different from ordinary people. He has powerful spiritual power. Don't be afraid. He just needs a little blood. It won't endanger his life. If he succeeds You don’t need to face dangerous ghosts anymore.”

Future subconsciously raised his right hand, stared deeply at the palm of his hand, and there were some indescribable expressions in his eyes.

"I see."

Walking to the table, Future picked up a small knife. Seeing this, Shannan quickly took a beaker and put it under her finger.

She stretched out her index finger and skillfully made a slit on it. Her expression remained calm, and she watched the bright red blood flowing from her fingertips along the wall of the beaker, as if it wasn't her own blood at all, but something she was watching. Like other people's dreams.

Seeing that the blood was almost collected, Sui San grabbed her hand and pressed the injured finger tightly to prevent it from bleeding, "The cut was so deep, are you really a woman? Damn, you have to rely on letting a woman bleed." To complete the research, there must be a limit to the Shinsengumi losing face!"

Shannan eagerly dripped her blood into the liquid, and the reaction was violent, which was also different from just now. Bubbles appeared like boiling, and then rolled into blood red.

"Success!"

It's just that before he could spread his smile, the red color disappeared instantly without a trace.

He tried again, with the same result.

"...Do you still need to fight?"

Future understood what he meant, and replied, "I understand, leave it to me."

"I'll go with you too." Suisan said without refusal, "Although he is an exorcist, it's too dangerous for a kid to face ghosts alone."

"Don't worry, I still have the confidence to deal with one or two ghosts, but before that, can I ask a question?"

"what?"

"Why is this drug being made?"

Both of them were silent and didn't answer anything. This is what the shogunate ordered to study. It is both a secret and a corrupt desire, and they don't have to take this matter, it's nothing more than...

"Want power?"

In the future, they will complete what they think in their hearts.

"But sometimes, having too much power can lead to destruction instead."

Looking at the closed door, Hijikata lowered his eyes, seeking power?There is no way to refute.However, sometimes strength is indispensable in order to protect what must be protected, and without enough strength, important things will be lost.
