Chapter 236 Zhou Na
Lei smiled indifferently. It's not that he didn't have hope, but after a long period of psychological torture, he gradually... got used to it.
"Don't worry, I won't die in my condition. It doesn't matter even if they can't find an antidote."
Ed looked at Rye and was silent for a moment.
Lei seemed to be comforting himself, but he really seemed to have stopped caring a long time ago.
He recalled how Lei had looked back then. He'd looked at everyone as an idiot and spoken venomously. But now, the arrogant genius he'd once possessed seemed to have completely faded...
The moment Ed saw Rye, he saw a kind of depression in him that he had never seen in him before.
The masculine man who could easily make me doubt my life in the past is now depressed.
Ed felt very uncomfortable.
Lei shouldn't be like this.
"Really? Are you underestimating me?" Ed snorted coldly. "Let me tell you, I may not be as good as you in other areas, but when it comes to studying poisons, I'm definitely no worse than you!"
Back then, he thought he had to be better than Lei in some way, right? So he began to delve into that area! He had seen countless poisons!
"I'm determined to fight this poison! If one year doesn't work, then two years. If two years don't work, then five, ten years! If I don't solve it, I'll be stuck here for the rest of my life!"
Lei raised his eyes lazily, "You're dreaming. You're looking for a free place to stay and eating and drinking here without paying!"
"What's wrong with me just eating and drinking for free? Don't forget how you cheated me back then!"
Lei retorted calmly, "Hey, you want to live in my house forever for a hundred bucks? Even loan sharks aren't as smart as you."
The two of them chatted back and forth, which dispelled the heavy atmosphere, but in fact everyone knew what was going on.
"Fourth Father, Instructor Ackerman recently discovered a drug very similar to the poison we found back then, but unfortunately he didn't manage to bring it back."
Yu Manman posted the test results on the lab screen. "This was obtained by the instructor secretly taking blood from a fallen species."
"This time's test results are about 70% similar to what I found last time."
Lei stood up and looked at the test report quietly.
Ed stared back, his eyes dark.
Lei Yi's eyes turned to Yu Manman, "After you finish analyzing it, can you match it?"
"It should be possible." Yu Manman nodded, "Give me two days."
When she was studying with Lei, she had prepared the same poison that Lei was originally poisoned with. With this experience, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Lei nodded, "Then you come."
If you don't move your hands for a long time, they will become numb.
"Okay, no problem!" Yu Manman's eyes lit up. "It just so happens that I analyzed it yesterday. I'll try to figure it out today!"
"Two days?" Ed looked at her in surprise. "So fast?"
"Very quickly? Maybe it's because of experience. This poison is quite similar to the previous one."
Then, Yu Manman said in frustration, "But if I were to develop this antidote on my own, it would probably take me a week."
Ed's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Lei with a dull look in his eyes. "This child is really not yours?"
If you don’t know, you might think that he inherited his talent.
The word "genius" seems to be a bit insufficient when applied to Yu Manman...
Looking at Lei's smug look, he thought that perhaps Yu Manman's talent would be even stronger than Lei's.
Ed's eyes sparkled with joy. "Manman, are you interested in learning from me? I'll be your teacher!"
In time, Yu Manman will surely surpass his teacher!
He might not be able to solve the ever-changing poison in Lei Yi, but with Yu Manman together in the future, it will always be possible!
"Thank you, Professor!" Yu Manman's eyes were full of stars. "I will definitely study hard!"
Ed sighed, "It's a pity you're not studying medicine..."
"Professor, I've already learned the basics. I don't need to learn with them. Besides, I really enjoy studying literature!"
If it weren't for her fourth father, she might have only learned some basic medical knowledge.
When Fourth Father’s poison is cured one day, she will concentrate more on learning what she is learning now!
"Don't worry, Professor. I will spend more time studying poison."
Well... after returning, she will form a team to kill the fallen species, accumulate more points, and exchange them for exemptions from courses, so that she will have more time to study with Professor Ed.
"Okay!" Ed smiled. "I have all kinds of poisons in my lab, even more than medicine. You can learn from me and I'll be right!"
Moreover, poison is also medicine in some ways, but it just has greater side effects.
If applied properly, it can also achieve great results.
For so many years, he has been studying how to turn poison into treasure, how to use poison to detoxify. This may be a bit unconventional, but in some special circumstances, this seemingly dangerous method can achieve unexpected results.
"Thank you, Professor!"
"Yeah." Ed glanced at Lei. "I won't be a nuisance here anymore. I'll be back tomorrow!"
"But I will continue to study your poison. Please send a tube of blood sample every three days. Manman and I will analyze it together and research an antidote."
Ed pouted, "Who knows, maybe I'll become famous in the future after I cure the poison in you!"
"When the time comes, I'll tell everyone outside that I can solve the problem you can't! Your daughter will even take me as her teacher!"
Oh, my damn desire to win! I have to beat him completely at least once!
Ed had already imagined the scene where Lei respectfully told him that he was better than him!
"We'll see when the day comes." Ley looked at him.
Things haven't been done yet, but you've already started to get carried away.
But what Ed said is also right. Yu Manman will be better if she learns from him.
He had never specialized in this before, and some things were not as comprehensive as Edna's.
"By the way, Fourth Father, Instructor Ackerman came back with me because he wanted to ask if you have any leads regarding the Burroughs family?" Yu Manman asked. "For example, that Corbin! He also disappeared back then, and we still don't know where he is."
"I think it must have something to do with him."
"Corbin..." Rye muttered.
Indeed, after he was poisoned by Ursi, he suspected that the person behind Corbyn wanted the poison.
And after Yu Manman discovered that different fallen species last time, Lei became even more certain.
But he really didn't know who was behind Corbyn, and he had no idea...
"Oh right..." Lei suddenly thought of something.
While he was imprisoned in the Burroughs household, he would sometimes deliberately provoke Freya to extract information from her.
Once, she seemed to mention a name...Zhou Na.
