Chapter 52
Dr. Adrian half-knelt on the ground and kissed the old photo in his hand. The man in the photo had a gentle and compassionate expression.
"Teacher, I will fulfill your last wish."
"Have you ever heard of the trolley problem? One person versus five people, how do you choose?"
Dr. Adrian replied at the time: "This seems to be an ethical issue. No matter which choice we make, we seem to be in a dilemma."
Shen Hua smiled slightly.
"If it were me, I would pull the lever without hesitation and bear all the consequences."
Dr. Adrian didn't respond. Biological research inevitably raises ethical questions, but he didn't think he could be as decisive as his teacher.
"So, the current situation is just a matter of two billion people versus five billion people. There's no difference.
"I have begun. The gears I have laid will continue to turn. The Dream Weaver will awaken.
"I sacrifice the present for the future."
Shen Hua's expression was gentle, just like before.
"I have committed a heinous crime. I firmly believe that I am right. I will pay for my sins with my own body."
At the time, Dr. Adrian didn't understand what he meant. It wasn't until the "Dream Weaver" project was announced and Shen Hua was widely condemned that Dr. Adrian understood his intention. And then...it was Shen Hua who ignited a bottle of ethanol in the lab. The Shen couple perished in the lab fire, along with the data from the banned experiments. But "Dream Weaver" continued to proceed smoothly.
Thanks to Dr. Adrian, Shen Hua had paved the way for him before he left. He had established himself at the institute and successfully avoided the impact of the catastrophe. Twelve years had passed since then.
Shen Hua, 1995-2040, biologist, founder of the Kronos Life Science Institute, proposed the "Dream Weaver" project in 2032, and died in a laboratory fire with his wife Zhou Mingruan in September 2040.
He is a sinner in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of Dr. Adrian, he is the savior.
"Teacher, the Dream Weaver is about to start again," Dr. Adrian said softly, his eyes filled with blazing madness and deep sorrow.
"Teacher, I've encountered some very interesting things recently. I sensed energy fluctuations similar to yours from the outsider... The results of the genetic test showed that she is your daughter."
Adrian stroked Shen Hua's face in the photo with his fingers and whispered softly:
"Teacher...don't lie to me."
