My carefree life in space

Chapter 156 In-depth Investigation

Three days have passed since the monster biting incident. Although people are still discussing it on the StarNet, in real life, people do not seem to be greatly affected, and society remains stable and peaceful.

During this time, Mo Ze was invited to the research institute again, hoping he could help awaken Li Chong's sanity. This was Cheng Tianhua's idea; they had been searching for clues but couldn't find anything, so they wanted to find the answer from the root of the problem.

Researchers tried various methods, but none could remove Li Chong's animalistic features or bring him back to his senses. Therefore, Ellison recommended Mo Ze to Cheng Tianhua.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mo Ze fed Li Chong a pill. This pill was made by Lin Shushu based on Mo Ze's description, after spending a day modifying the formula of the Breakthrough Pill. She was too lazy to think of any other name, so she just called it the Breakthrough Pill.

After the Breakthrough Pill was administered, Mo Ze used his spiritual power to help the pill digest, and Li Chong immediately calmed down. His manic state disappeared, his eyes regained their clarity, and even his fingernails and fangs retracted.

The effect was absolutely astonishing. They had tried many calming medicines before, but none of them worked. They never expected that Mo Ze could solve the problem with just one pill.

Ellison's eyes lit up. He had wanted to study these miraculous pills before, but unfortunately, Mo Ze wouldn't introduce him to the master alchemist behind them. Now, seeing their miraculous effects again, the flame in his heart burned even brighter, and he couldn't wait to interrogate Mo Ze about the source of the pills.

Unfortunately, he only thought about it in his heart. Not to mention Mo Ze's identity, his terrifying strength was something that a weak old man like him could not handle.

Moze ignored Ellison's eager gaze and walked straight to the side, leaving the questioning to the professionals.

He didn't leave immediately because it might involve his own experience, and he needed to gather more information.

When Cheng Tianhua experienced the effects of the pill for the first time, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. It wasn't until Mo Ze stepped aside that he realized his duty.

Of course, it wasn't his place as the head of the department to handle the interrogation, but the situation was serious, so he took matters into his own hands.

Unfortunately, although Li Chong regained consciousness, he only stated that he came from Luohui Star. He had no recollection of why he arrived on Ita Star, and he couldn't explain the mutations that had occurred to him.

As for why he came to the Imperial Star, according to his confession, someone sent him there. After he arrived, he was not told what to do, but was simply told to find a crowded place to stay on the day of the incident.

He was interested in mechs, so he went to the mech store, and then the sudden mutation and biting incident happened.

"Who is the person who sent you to the Imperial Star? Do you know where he is?" Cheng Tianhua persisted, asking again.

Li Chong shook his head.

Seeing this, Cheng Tianhua was a little annoyed. "You know nothing, yet you just obediently came here?"

“He gave me star coins, which is equivalent to a free trip to the Imperial Star. Why should I refuse?” Li Chong asked rhetorically.

"Then why do you stay at home and rarely see anyone?" This is a big question mark. If you have nothing to hide, why are you acting so cautiously?

"There's nothing I can do about it. After I came to the Imperial Star, I suddenly felt very unwell, so I spend most of my time resting in my room."

"Wait, you mean you suddenly feel unwell? What kind of discomfort?" Cheng Tianhua had a gut feeling that something was wrong. Could this be the reason for his sudden mutation?

Li Chong thought about it carefully, and then said, "I remember that I was extremely sleepy for the first few days after I arrived, I felt weak all over, and my head was throbbing. In short, I couldn't muster the energy to do anything."

Cheng Tianhua looked at Ellison. Whether this was a side effect of the drug needed to be explained by a professional.

"It's clear that he developed this condition after being injected with the drug. As for how long the drug will take to work, it's hard to say right now."

If we can analyze this time, we can determine whether Li Chong was injected elsewhere or on the Imperial Star.

This task naturally fell to the staff of the research institute.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Mo Ze reminded those present not to reveal that Li Chong had recovered before leaving.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the light. We certainly cannot reveal our trump cards to others; the fact that we have elixirs that can counteract gene-enhancing drugs should not be known to too many people for the time being.

Meanwhile, in a villa in Dixing.

A man reported to the person on the computer screen, "Experiment number one has been captured. Have the other experiments been released as planned?"

The person on the other end didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "Are you sure they didn't successfully save Subject One?"

Test subject number one was just a test for them, the purpose of which was to see if these people in the Empire had a way to restrain themselves.

Without hesitation, the man replied affirmatively, "Yes, as far as I know, they are helpless in this matter."

The person on the other end seemed somewhat relieved and then asked other questions, "Is Jin Hongyu planning to host some kind of welcome banquet soon?"

"You've heard about it too? Apparently, it's for that Mo family brat's fiancée, and Jin Hongyu is taking it very seriously." At this point, the man made a guess, "You're planning to carry out your scheme at the welcome banquet?"

The person on the other end was clearly proud of his decision. "Don't you think this is a great time? People from all the major families on the Imperial Star will be here. It will be very interesting when our test subjects appear."

The man hesitated. As far as he knew, the Mo family youth and his fiancée seemed to have some unusual methods. What if they cracked this plan? Wouldn't his side suffer heavy losses?

However, seeing the person opposite him looking so enthusiastic, he found it hard to speak.

Well, the Mo family brat is on the Imperial Star now. If they have a way, they won't be helpless against Experiment Number One. I've been worrying too much.

After reassuring himself, the man nodded, indicating that he would proceed according to plan.

At that moment, he was unaware that their overconfidence had led to the complete failure of their carefully planned operation.

After returning to the villa, Mo Ze told Lin Shushu about what had happened that day.

Lin Shushu was very happy. Although she was confident in her alchemy skills, gene potions were a completely new field for her, and it was still something to be proud of that she was able to hit the mark on the first try.

"How many people like Li Chong do you think there are?" After her initial excitement, she turned her attention to the matter at hand.

Mo Ze pondered for a few seconds before expressing his opinion.

"Since they've researched such a potion, they definitely wouldn't just use it on one person. The silence these past few days might just be a ploy to mislead the Empire."

Lin Shushu nodded, she thought so too, "They might be preparing some big move. Put yourself in their shoes, they might just be waiting for the right opportunity."

At this point, Lin Shushu had a sudden inspiration. She paused and looked at Mo Ze. Their eyes met, and they spoke at the same time.

"Welcome banquet!"

Indeed, the most talked-about thing about the Imperial Star right now is the welcome banquet that His Majesty the Emperor is going to hold for her. This is the perfect opportunity to stir up trouble.

"I'll tell my uncle so he can take precautions."

They themselves weren't too worried, after all, with them around, they weren't afraid of any demons or monsters.
