Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1676

Julian Lancaster laughed softly. "I'm in."

Since he had already agreed to this partnership, he wasn't about to back out halfway. Besides, this whole mess tied directly to Obsidian Sun. The muddier the waters got, the easier it would be for him to conduct his own investigation.

However...

Julian glanced at the Apex Bio-Transfer Pod. The data displays had stabilized, yet they still flashed with abnormal readings. "That Obsidian Sun operative mentioned that Specimen Fourteen's condition is volatile."

"The remote self-destruct protocol might have failed, but the mutated genes in her system were already agitated by the catalyst."

He turned his gaze back to Serena. "If Specimen Fourteen wakes up before reaching the auction stage, we're going to have a serious problem."

Serena arched an eyebrow, a wicked smirk playing on her lips. "What exactly do you think I just injected her with?"

Julian paused.

"That," Serena drawled lazily, "was the Neural-Severance Catalyst."

It was no ordinary sedative. It was a refined formula she had engineered based on her grandmother's experimental data.

It had the power to temporarily sever the connection between the mutated genes and the control chip without causing any permanent damage to Specimen Fourteen's consciousness or central nervous system.

It would also entirely suppress the violent neurological reactions triggered by the catalyst.

Serena checked the time. "She won't be waking up for at least another hour."

Julian was silent for a moment before a low chuckle escaped him. "It seems I asked a pointless question."

The Panacea never just took things one step at a time. The moment she drove that needle into Specimen Fourteen, she had already meticulously plotted out every subsequent move on the board.

His admiration for her only deepened.

And the more he watched her, the more that commanding, strategic aura of hers felt... incredibly familiar.

Julian lowered his eyes, taking in the scattered bodies of the unconscious Obsidian Sentinels before lightly nudging the squad leader with the toe of his shoe. "I'll clean up the mess here."

"The auction stage is all yours."
