Thinking of all this, Himeko remained composed, only softening her tone and slightly suppressing her smile as she replied:
“I was the one who found the ancient beast. Our train crew would never do anything to harm innocent people. Similarly, Ruan Mei wouldn’t act recklessly.”
"I don't think members of the Genius Club have any humanity. What do you think, Ms. Himeko?"
Spall stepped forward, emphasizing his words.
"It's good to have doubts. However, the actual data shows that the giant worm didn't kill anyone from beginning to end."
Himeko's tone suddenly turned serious, and her smile vanished completely. But after she finished speaking, she raised the corners of her mouth again and stared at Spa.
Spall looked back at Himeko, staring intently into her pupils, his ears perked up, listening to her heartbeat.
After confirming he wasn't lying, Spall rolled his eyes, took a step back, and smiled again:
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. I will investigate the specifics before making a judgment."
After saying that, Spah waved and left the room again.
But this time, he didn't come back.
Snap! Snap snap snap!
Spare stretched out his leather boots, stepped onto the black floor, looked around, and saw the staff bustling about again, feeling much more at ease.
Even if it costs you your life, it's not all for nothing... right?
Spah felt relieved, stretched, and thought about finding an open space to test the [Memory Album] when suddenly his brain throbbed with pain.
A pricking sensation swept over him. Spa swayed, managing to steady himself and avoid falling against the wall.
Although my memory and destiny strength are quite formidable... using them to fight battles at the level of a Commander has indeed resulted in significant side effects.
It seems... for the next few days, I'll have to rely solely on [Storage] and [Hunting]~
Spa shook his head and continued walking, but in the distance he saw a woman in a cheongsam standing by the window, gazing at the starry sky.
The lady's hair was gently tied up and adorned with a plum blossom hairpin, giving her a delicate and refined appearance.
However, what Spah cared about was the pattern on the other person's cheongsam, which was full of plum blossom and DNA elements.
Ruan Mei? I never expected her to appear here!
Spah pursed his lips, clenching and unclenching his fists.
For some reason, he felt that seeing Ruan Mei Zhenren did not excite him at all; instead, his heart was as cold as a frozen spring.
Anyway... let's talk about it.
Spa took a step and walked towards Nguyen Mai.
Chapter 29 I hate geniuses the most!
Snap! Snap snap...
Spa walked closer and closer, his leather boots pounding the ground.
But before he could reach Ruan Mei, he saw her turn around, raise her right hand, and wave it gently:
"Spar, my dear, I've been wanting to see you for so long."
Spall did not respond, but continued pacing, his footsteps becoming increasingly heavy, pattering as he approached Ruan Mei.
The two were less than half a meter apart. Spah was a head taller than Nguyen Mai, so he looked down at her, his eyes darting around as he carefully examined her.
Spall discovered that Ruan Mei was beautiful and, in terms of temperament, surpassed all the women he had ever seen. In fact, her temperament was not human at all; it subtly exuded an aura of divinity.
Ha~ So-called genius?
Spall rolled his eyes, thinking of the primitive doctor being chased by the sea patrol rangers, and his mood immediately soured.
The Genius Club… These scientific madmen, with the exception of a few like Chadwick, I'll treat them all as dangerous elements.
Spall thought to himself, and seeing that Ruan Mei didn't speak, he raised an eyebrow, lowered his voice, and said coldly:
"Miss Himeko told me that the worm you released did not kill any of the staff."
"Insects? You mean Baltan? That's all within my calculations. I absolutely cannot let anyone die."
"Within the calculations?" Spah asked.
"Both Baltan's course of action and the steps of the entire experiment were under control."
Ruan Mei gently lifted a strand of hair, her words devoid of any smugness, as if she were merely stating a fact.
"Within control?"
Spac clenched his fist, let out a soft breath, and said, "I almost couldn't beat that bug. What would have happened to the space station..."
"Why do you think I made it fight you in a confined space before? Just for the sake of statistics, darling."
Ruan Mei took a breath, took out a plum blossom cake, put it in her mouth, chewed it for a few moments, and only after swallowing it did she say:
"Based on the statistical data, your chances of winning against Baltan are almost 100%."
"If the calculation goes wrong, you'll be the executioner!"
"I can't be wrong."
"Yes, how could a genius make mistakes?"
Spall sighed softly, his shoulders slumping.
The next second, he suddenly summoned his revolver, his fingertips twitched slightly, and he pulled the trigger. The bullet "whooshed" out of the barrel.
Snapped!
The bullet grazed Ruan Mei's neck and struck the glass behind her. The glass cracked, but quickly healed.
“Miss Ruan Mei, since you are aware of my data, I will be frank with you. I am not afraid of any intellectual envoy if I am willing.”
Spa's voice was cold, but his breathing was not as rapid as before.
“Yes, you are very strong.” Ruan Mei nodded.
"In that case, if you ever harm innocent people for your experiments in the future, don't blame me for letting you experience what it's like to be 'hunted'. Think of Dr. Primal, Ms. Ruan Mei."
After saying that, Spah put away his gun and turned to leave.
He couldn't possibly attack Ruan Mei right now, otherwise his sister Estádio would be in a very difficult situation.
"Wait, darling."
Ruan Mei called out. Spah raised an eyebrow but ignored her, continuing to walk forward without stopping.
“Darling, actually, I tampered with the coffee Himeko gave you,” Ruan Mei said.
Upon hearing this, Spah was startled and dared not ignore it. He stopped and turned around, only to see Ruan Mei's lips curled up in a smile.
Ruan Mei was holding a white medicine packet between her index finger and thumb, which was hanging in mid-air and swaying slightly.
“I didn’t drink Himeko’s coffee,” Spa said.
“Dear Er I Umbrella No Wife 6 Chat Nobody expects anyone to drink Himeko’s coffee. Of course I am, I just tidied up the cup a bit.”
Ruan Mei narrowed her eyes slightly and chuckled softly:
"My medicine is very special. Even if your lips touch the air just one centimeter away from the cup, the medicine will still work."
As she spoke, Ruan Mei lightly snapped her fingers.
Snapped!
"I'm not afraid of poison..."
Spah was speaking when he suddenly felt dizzy, the road shook, and Ruan Mei appeared more and more before his eyes, gradually turning into a blue band of light.
Not good!
The knowledge envoy from the realm of life drugged me.
But aren't you underestimating me a little?
Spa gritted his teeth and activated the power of his destiny. In an instant, a golden shield appeared around his body.
The discomfort within him subsided quickly, like flowing water, and his mind returned to clarity.
"You bastard! Your methods are really underhanded!"
Spah cursed, straightened up, summoned his revolver, and aimed it at the spot where Nguyen Mai was standing.
However, to his surprise, there was nothing in front of him.
Ruan Mei had vanished without a trace long ago, without anyone noticing.
"..."
Spall stared at the empty glass and fell silent.
Deep down, he felt a slight sense of frustration, but it quickly dissipated, leaving him only with a soft sigh:
If "Melancholy Blues" still worked, I'd know exactly where you ran off to. Unfortunately, my memory is... gone.
Spah lowered his head slightly and sighed.
Huh?and many more!
What's wrong with the memory substances in my body?
How did you recover so much?
Spah was surprised to find that the memory he had lost in the battle with Baltan had recovered somewhat, and his headache had stopped.
Unfortunately, this amount of energy was not enough for him to use Ether Editing to restore his former strength.
However, using the "melancholy blues" style is sufficient.
Could it be... that Ruan Mei gave me the medicine not to poison me, but to help me regain my memories?
Spah couldn't help but think.
He licked his lips, closed his eyes, and after two seconds, opened them. The scene instantly rewound to half a minute earlier.
Ruan Mei stood in front of her again. She glanced at Spa, a slight smile playing on her lips, and waved her hand, as if to greet him.
Two seconds passed...
Spall saw that Nguyen Mai lowered her hand, gracefully raised her arm, opened her palm, threw out two blue flying objects, and then left.
Upon closer inspection, the two flying objects turned out to be a pair of butterflies. The blue butterfly fluttered its wings and slowly drifted towards the window.
Spall saw the butterfly cling to the windowpane, turn into blue powder, and scatter in all directions. A short while later, the powder coalesced into a string of numbers:
"13621... What's that? A phone number?"
Spall was slightly taken aback. He shifted his gaze and saw a line of text below the numbers:
【Darling, this is your contact information. —Ruan Meiliu.】
"..."
For a moment, Spah couldn't tell whether Nguyen Mai was friend or foe.
The powder, after being imprinted on the glass for a short time, fell off, turning into a wisp of blue smoke that drifted and swirled, eventually entering Spa's skull.
Spa took a deep breath, feeling a cool sensation throughout his body. Deep in his mind, Ruan Mei's voice echoed:
【My dear, I will help you repair the damaged memory cells; consider it payment for the experiment.】
I originally intended to completely repair your memories. But you'll most likely use the power of your destiny to suppress the effects of the medicine...
Well, there's nothing I can do about it, just consider it a token of my appreciation. If you need any help in the future, feel free to call my number.
After the audio finished playing, Spall had already exited [Melancholy Blues], lowered his head, and muttered to himself:
"Ruan Mei... Sigh! As expected, I hate geniuses."
Spa shook his head, turned around, and moved his feet, wanting to find a quiet place to use the [Memory Album].
However, he soon changed his mind.
Spah noticed that Estella had somehow appeared nearby.
When the pink-haired girl saw Spa, her eyes lit up, and she abandoned her usual reserve, running towards him like a rabbit.
"Brother Spa, I'm so glad you're alright."
Before long, Estelle ran up to Spa and gave him a bear hug, almost knocking Spa to the ground.
