Chapter 244 (1/2)

“By the way… I was wondering what the first, second, and third steps meant, but it must have been a step-by-step project. Disassembling and reassembling the body and soul, no matter how hard I think about it…”

“It’s inhumane.”

“Indeed, it is inhumane.”

Noah agreed with Kyle, but a corner of her heart felt uncomfortable. It was because of the records she had read in Adrian’s research lab. She thought about going back up to that place and taking everything she hadn’t been able to read.

While searching for a way up from the third floor to the fourth floor, Muell’s presence, who was connected to her, fluctuated greatly. Noah stopped in her tracks.

“Huh? Just now, what was…”

Muell’s resonance immediately returned to normal, but the next minute, a slight vibration came up from downstairs.

Noah put her ear close to the transmitter just in case.

“Muell? What are you doing?”

After a few seconds, a lively voice flowed out.

“…Nothing!”

“Huh?”

“It’s nothing, Noah. There is nothing.”

“Oh, yeah? Then we’re done.”

She didn’t think the vibration earlier was a mistake. Then was it the sound of the process running again? Or it might have been sounds of the researchers and experiments escaping from the fourth floor.

Now becoming impatient, she pulled on Kyle’s sleeve.

“I have to go up and check now. I guess something is going on.”

“Nothing is going on up there.”

Kyle, however, was only shrugging, not expressing any sense of a crisis.  No wonder he looked a little satisfied. I’m sure this is a mistake, Noah thought.

Pushing her shoulder, Kyle patted her shoulder.

“Muell is going to figure it out. As for us, we will first check out the research lab and the process.”

Adrian and Eleonora’s research lab were perfectly divided between the third and fourth floors. This was because the stairs Noah had stepped on yesterday had straightened out and tilted up like a seesaw before turning into the floor of the fourth floor.
