Artificial Life 23
"Why...why am I still alive?"
The voice of the man on the operating table mumbling to himself echoed in the room. The red-haired researcher was cleaning the experimental equipment with his back to him, and the black-haired little boy was holding the edge and looking at him curiously.
"Because I need you alive."
Julian woke up from his sleep, and he looked around with his bright red eyes wide open. The man he sent out had not returned yet. The boy rubbed his head and sat up, "Wow, why did I dream about that..." He was bored and poked the system that had not been there for a long time, "What's the weather like tomorrow?"
System: [Clear Sky]
“Really?” Julian nodded. To an outsider who couldn’t see the system, it looked like the boy was just talking to himself out of boredom. “What a pity, you’re wrong this time, System~”
"After all, we are stirring up a storm."

"That's amazing news, Bourbon."
On the Selmes, Vermouth and Kiel welcomed Furutani Rei in their suite, and the people from the distillery finally met up successfully. Bourbon selectively shared the news he had heard with the two of them, including that the Russians were looking for buyers on the ship with the medicine, a fierce-looking mixed-race man had a brief exchange with the latter, there were people from Huiren Society on the ship, and there was still no news about the so-called Kelver's inheritance, etc.
"The storage of the auction items is really airtight," Vermouth said nonchalantly, playing with the ends of her silver hair. "No matter how careless a man is, his mouth is like a clam. It really makes me sad."
"...I decided that we should focus on that man," Keel, who was leaning against the door, couldn't help but speak, "The resurrection mentioned by the bear countryman, and the sudden appearance of the man I killed on the Selmus," the implicit message in the words made Rei Furuya look at her, "Although it's ridiculous, as Vermouth said before, the possibility is gradually increasing..."
"If that's the case," Bourbon also joined the discussion, "the things that the bear countryman sold are very likely part of Kelver's legacy. The undercover man was Kelver's experimental subject. After taking the drug, he successfully came back to life. At the same time, he met Mr. Ivan who sneaked into the laboratory. The two of them set fire to the laboratory and left. Then they came to the Selmes and planned to sell their gains in the laboratory in exchange for money..." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, "How is this possible..."
"No, it can't be said to be completely impossible." Unexpectedly, Vermouth gave some affirmation to this absurd and evidence-lacking story. "First of all, the experimental base did find traces of infiltration. Researchers had responded long before the arson, and the same was true in the ruins after the fire. And," the Thousand-Faced Witch picked up the wine glass in front of her and shook it gently twice. "Now no one knows the details of Kelver's research. With all the data burned in the fire, no one knows what Sklosso can do." To put it bluntly, no one dared to be sure of Sklosso's situation. What if Kelver gave Ethan, who was already dead at the time, an injection, and Sklosso had been slowly repairing his body in the past few years until he reached the standard and woke up completely recently? "The ability of scientists is beyond imagination."
No one can guarantee that the Arabian Nights will come true 100%. The only problem is that this seemingly logical story lacks strong evidence to support it.
