Chapter 35: Something Feels Off (9)
Sabrina’s explanation was concise, covering all the crucial points.
She detailed how Nemesis had kidnapped Rayne to conduct large-scale human experiments and how David’s actions, including the blackout and dispersal of sleep gas, were intended to minimize civilian casualties while rescuing her. The final step was for David, now on his way to the VIP banquet hall, to free Rayne.
Raven stroked his chin thoughtfully and nodded.
“Hmm... so that’s what’s going on. Hexahemia Syndrome, huh?”
“Do you know about the illness affecting Rayne?” Sabrina asked.
“Anyone in the know has heard of it. It’s an extremely rare condition where blood reacts to mana. No wonder Nemesis is up to something shady.”
Raven acknowledged that Sabrina’s claims were logically consistent.
Planning large-scale human experiments to create Hexahemia serum sounded insane, but in this city, such madness wasn’t unheard of.
If Hexahemia serum could be stabilized and mass-produced, allowing prosthetics for non-humans to dominate the market, the resulting economic windfall would certainly be enough to drive someone to extremes.
Still, as the claims came solely from the supposed “terrorists,” trusting them was another matter entirely.
“Intern. Do you believe what she’s saying and decided to help her because of that?” Raven asked, turning to me.
“It’s not a lie! It’s all true!” Sabrina protested, visibly upset at being doubted.
