Chapter 84: Testing

"Well, Shiwei used his innate power too recklessly this time, causing genetic turmoil and accelerating the breaking of the gene chain... The course of the disease has been shortened by at least two years, perhaps even... more! Now we can only hope that the blood of the Bichon Buffon is as described in the secretary. If so, perhaps it can have some effect and temporarily stabilize Shiwei's gene chain."

While Li Jitu was doing the final blood test, he told Liao Qiqi in a serious voice about Yin Shiwei's current condition.

Just as Liao Qiqi had worried, Yin Shiwei's premature illness had caused his previously stable condition to worsen. Judging from the symptoms at the onset, the course of his illness had been shortened by at least two years, perhaps even more... Li Jitu looked at the tubes of animal blood. What the secretary had recorded was indeed true, but he also knew that it was impossible to completely cure genetic collapse syndrome with just the blood of the Bichon cub outside. It was simply too little. The patient recorded in the secretary's record had consumed the blood of a hundred adult Bichon beasts...

Even with the treatment of advanced light therapists, the life expectancy of a patient with gene collapse syndrome is no more than a dozen years. Reducing the course of the disease by two years means that Yin Shiwei's remaining life expectancy is directly shortened by one-fifth or even more.

Mu Jiao heard from Li Jitu's words that Yin Shiwei's premature illness was due to the use of his innate power, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

From the information she had read about gene collapse disorder, it was recorded that the consequences of gene collapse disorder patients using their innate power were very serious. In the early stages of gene collapse disorder, it was not so bad, and the patient could still use a little innate power, but it was only a little. As time went on, using the innate power would at best accelerate the rate of gene chain breakage, and at worst cause sudden death.

Brother Qi's forced use of his innate powers against the enemy had directly led to his illness. Could it be that Yin Shiwei had also encountered an enemy? But Ah Ping said she hadn't left the house since falling ill, so it wasn't like she had encountered an enemy. So why would she risk her life to use her innate powers? Wrapped in an isolation suit, Mu Jiao looked at the woman on the bed, her face full of confusion.

Mu Jiao didn't know why Yin Shiwei used his innate power, but Liao Qiqi knew it all. In the two years since he became ill, Shiwei's personality had become somewhat extreme, and he began to act without regard for the consequences.

She wouldn't leave her own courtyard, wouldn't see anyone other than her therapist, and of course, the maids who served her. That was fine, but a year and a half ago, Shiwei refused to allow outsiders to come to the Rose Courtyard, not even the leader or her brother, and wouldn't allow them to see her, even threatening to commit suicide... Liao Qiqi had tried to persuade her many times, but to no avail.

Because of her illness, the leaders were more tolerant of Shiwei. They said they didn't need to see her, but not seeing her didn't mean they didn't care. But Shiwei began to secretly use her innate power. As far as she knew, it had happened two or three times. Each time, she'd superficially admitted her mistakes and promised not to do it again, but she'd still do it the next time... Yin Shiwei's condition was the reason Liao Qiqi was desperate to find a cure for her gene collapse disorder. She was truly afraid that if Shiwei continued like this, her mentality would deteriorate and her personality would change drastically. The consequences would not only hurt others, but she would be the first to suffer...

Bringing back the Bichon was originally a good thing. Shiwei was very happy when she heard the news. She even took care of the roses in the yard, which she had not done for a long time. But a few days passed, and the leader still did not give the order to bring the Bichon to Shiwei...

"Qiqi, what do you think will happen to my brother if I get sick earlier this time?" Liao Qiqi thought of what her friend had said the day before she returned from the Rose Courtyard, and her face turned even paler. Shi Wei must have known that the leader had given the Bichon Frise to Mu Jiao's care. Was she risking her life this time to test the leader's attitude? Liao Qiqi couldn't bear to think about it. How could Shi Wei's personality change like this? And since Shi Wei's illness had shortened so much, how many years did she have left? What was the reason for doing this...?

"Don't worry too much. Don't we have the blood of the Bichon now? Let's see the effect this time." Li Jitu saw that Liao Qiqi's face was pale and thought she was frightened by his words, so he spoke to comfort her.
