Chapter 313
"This is Mrs. Coleman’s laboratory." I looked around, astonished to see the countless lab capsules around us.
The Coleman family was indeed wealthy. With Mrs. Coleman’s charitable persona, she probably channeled a lot of money into this laboratory. Her laboratory was more than twice the size of Nancy’s.
"The laboratory is empty, Mom," Ashton reminded me.
Only then did I come back to my senses. Other than Ashton, Xan, and I, the other lab capsules were all empty.
It seemed like this lab capsule was used specifically for researching soul reincarnation. They conducted many experiments, ultimately proving that their experiments would not succeed without Dexter.
In Dexter’s words, there was a mechanism for reincarnation. Genes were the most crucial link that captured and bound a soul with the same genes. But a medium was also required for a reincarnation to succeed-it was something like a key.
At that moment, only Dexter knew what that key was as he was the only person who had succeeded in completing the Reincarnation Project.
"There’s a butterfly and a kitten over there, Mommy." Xan was sitting on the ground with her Rubik’s cube in hand. She was just like a naturally autistic child who enjoyed being immersed in her own world. Sometimes, she would say a few words that would hit the mark.
I looked over to that side of the laboratory. There were indeed animal specimens inside the glass enclosure some were alive, some were dead, and some were just born. They were likely all genetic clones.
"They’re also using animals to test whether the Reincarnation Project will succeed," I whispered. "They’re not as smart as Dad," Ashton quipped.
I did not refute him. Indeed, Dexter’s intelligence went beyond mere genome editing. He would have been a natural genius even without the genome editing.
