126 The Escape 1 (2/2)
Moments later, with a dangerous glint in her eyes, she realized, maybe she could actually do it now, and thus them attacking the Walkers would just be her little revenge on the way.
'My body is very lethargic and with little to no energy... But I can still summon enough strength to escape here... Especially since there is no Sofony Mendez here now to hinder me!' she thought while laboriously crawling towards the door. The system had already informed her of the incoming visitor.
Four minutes later, a table trolley was pushed in by one of Lauren's assistant. While this assistant was exchanging some of the empty bottles, used syringes and smalls knives from the metal rectangular table there with the suspicious bottles and paraphernalia from the movable table she had brought in, the whole team dressed in white lab coat also came back.
Lauren was not one them, instead there were only two middle-aged women, one wrinkled-faced old man with a head full of white and gray hair, and a young man wearing thick eyeglasses.
Five people were in the room when the male assistant dressed in a nurse outfit was included.
”I'm so glad to be back!” exclaimed a slightly fat and short-statured woman
”Dr. Ferrer, you're funny. You're looking at this pretty girl so devotedly, like anytime soon, you'll be cutting her brain,” laughed the oldest person.
”Haha. I just can't help it! I can't wait to do an operation again! The feeling is awesome. I get to cut an annoyingly beautiful girl's perfect body, revealing the ugly insides under her beautiful and fair skin. I want to do it more! In fact, my hands are already itching so much to do it again!” explained Dr. Ferrer.
Envy and gloating were very evident from her voice and expression even though she was smiling. It was easy to guess that this scientist had a thing or two against beautiful people... Something called extreme jealousy. Indeed, this was the case because this woman was already an old spinster rejected by many men due to not having a beautiful body and features. This explains why she was like this in front of an impossibly beautiful specimen. Her envy and hate for the beautiful was only a level away from madness.
”Doctors, I'm leaving,” politely said the assistant who was now holding the horizontal bar of the wheeled table.
The younger male doctor waved a hand at him, ”Go ahead. Just don't forget to inform Dr. Walker that we're going to start some tests to check if something really changed within this live specimen's body.”
As the nurse nodded, his feet were already marching outside, pushing the table trolley outside and leaving their group of doctors marching and surrounding the pale-faced sleeping 'Clarissa'. The door behind him already closed so he didn't know that when the four scientists approached the sleeping victim, when they got into one meter from her, one by one they began losing consciousness, their lips turning violet as veins all over their body became exposed, throbbing.
'Hmm? Poison gas?!'
Shortly, Lauren, who had been watching the scene from another room sprinted out to check the theater where the doctors were. This cousin of Gio became alarmed, remembering Sofony Silver mentioning the possibility of this living experiment subject doing some normally unimaginable tricks in order to escape, discreetly scattering poisonous substance in the place not out of the long list. With thrill and anger enveloping this lady scientist's heart, she ran back to the operating room. She also alerted the whole mansion not to let anyone, no matter how dear or distant to her, out of the residence.
On the other hand, right outside the lab room, when the confused assistant stopped to inspect the wheeled table which suddenly became heavier to push forward than usual, his eyes suddenly lost luster, dimming like stars that could no longer produce as much light as before. Moments after, he had seemingly heard a voice speaking in his mind and thus he began pushing the table trolley again.
His destination, not the exit leading to the first floor of the mansion...
