Chapter 53

The entire room suddenly felt suffocating and the bishop felt his vision swim in and out of focus. He grabbed his throat as he was choking on nothing but air. The feeling from the BloodLust was almost twice what it was before Han went to the future. He had more than enough practice with the dealer and he leveled it up a lot.

A hand grabbed the bishop and pulled his back into a chair. A hand tilted his head back forcefully and a cloth covered his entire face.

“Waterboard him”

Splash!!

“Gurgle~ Gurgle~ Gurgle~!!”

The bishop shook uncontrollably on his seat, turning from one side to the other forcefully as he was assaulted with water. After a while, Han rose his hand up and Tao Long stopped pouring the water. Han stood up and walked up to the coughing bishop.

“Will you talk now?”

“Yes!!! Yes!! She’s in City A! She’s in the frigid mountains in City A!”

Well, that was quick. Han waved a hand towards Tao Long and they released the bishop and allowed him to drop from the chair. Han allowed him to rest for a minute before he spoke to everyone.

“Get ready. We’re moving to the frigid mountains in thirty minutes. Tao Long will handle your weapons and the bishop will show us the way. We are going to visit the dealer,”

With his part said, Han turned and began walking away. He thought that sounded convincing enough for them to come with him. He didn’t need them for a long time, he only needed enough men to serve as a distraction and cleanup.

He was really starting to get a hang of this underground business... Right?

In the mountains of City A, a convoy of cars drove towards a hidden facility and parked in front of the gate. The man at the gate immediately opened it once he saw who was inside and the convoy drove in. The inside was a dimly lit warehouse that held many large glass cages.

The main car opened and the dealer stepped out from the car. She took off her glasses and looked towards the man standing at the front of the cars.

He was Dr. Fu Young. The head scientist at this facility. He was a short man with a mousy face. He had a full head of white hair and a mustache that twirled at the ends.

“Doctor. Tell me you have something for me,”

She said while walking up to the doctor and looking at the glass cages behind him. They were filled with humans with pale skins and white glaring eyes. Failed experiments that she didn’t have any interest in. She would have thrown them away a long time ago but the doctor was fascinated with them for some reason and she decided that some motivation might help his productivity. They only started this experiment a week ago but he was definitely bringing good results.

Dr. Fu smiled at the dealer and waved her forward.

“The test subject is becoming less and less lucid every day. The number of escape attempts has reduced to almost nothing today and she will soon be suitable for transport”

The dealer nodded along absentmindedly. She already knew that it’s will would break. She was a master at breaking wills and no human was different from the other. Keep them in confinement long enough and anybody would be pleading and begging eventually.

What she wanted to know was about the Wisteria and the doctor could easily see it in her eyes. He smiled at her roguishly and the dealer grimaced at the look on his face. She never liked it when he looked at her like that. It made her feel dirty.

“Right this way ma’am. Let me show you our progress”Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

The dealer was led into a viewing room with a one-way glass that showed another room on the other side. Inside this room, Lily was tied with metal chains by her hands and feet to the wall and spread wide.

BLISS!!!!!!!

“Uwahhhhhh~”

Ren’s entire body felt like it was floating on the ocean. How peaceful. How pleasant! It was like heaven and orgasms and drugs combined into one feeling!! The combination of feelings were so strong that he fell to the ground and sprawled wide with his mouth open in an expression of excitement and his eyes closed.

The doctor leaned even further forward and grimaced. This... Was this good!? Would he finally see results?

Ren’s eyes shot open and he began to laugh hysterically as his eyes and nose suddenly began to leak blood. He put his hand to his head and rolled on the ground like a puppy. He did this for a few minutes before he just stilled and his entire body slouched.

The dealer sighed in annoyance. Another failed experiment!? She couldn’t keep –

“Hahahahaha!!! What a success!!!”

Dr. Fu had a different thought though. He laughed happily while looking at the dead body of test subject 75. To think the drug would work this well! It was too good to be true!

“What has you laughing so much? Are you finally going mad, Fu?”

The dealer growled angrily while turning towards the doctor. She didn’t see what was so funny about another test subject dying. Dr. Fu leaned back and smiled at her.

“I’m laughing because it was a success,”

The dealer glared, “How?”

“Drugs are simple things, dealer. They are guides, they are pain relievers, partners, helpers and saviors. But at the very foundation, a drug is really just an illusionist. Something that creates a new place far away from the recesses of your mind and allows you to escape this world for a few minutes. A drug is an illusionist, dealer. But just like every other thing that is good in this world, drugs have the ability to kill you if you use too much of it. You’re allowed to have your illusions, but only in moderation.”

The dealer leaned back with folded arms and waited for the doctor to get to the point. She was already used to him going off on long speeches when explaining things about his craft. It was annoying to have to do it every time but she found out it was easier to get him to tell you something if you were just a little patient.

So she wouldn’t blow his brains out... Yet.

“Five years ago I experimented on a man to see just how much cocaine a human body can absorb before dying out. The wonderful thing is that in the middle of my experiment he went into a permanent coma. How body was still working perfectly but his mind was no longer there! He was gone!”

The dealer narrowed her eyes and turned back to test subject 75.

“So he isn’t dead?”

“Oh no... He’s definitely dead. There’s no way he survived,”

“Then what was the point of telling me all this!?”

“I just wanted to prepare you for what I’m about to say! This man didn’t just die. He exhibited the same traits I saw on the test subject from so long ago. He went into an unbearable amount of hysterics before finally succumbing to the drug. But that was cocaine and this here... Is Wisteria. Wisteria is known to be fifty tmes more intense than cocaine and three times as addictive. The amount of stimulus he was going through was too much for his body to handle. So instead of just going into a coma, he went into something more... permanent.”

The dealer was silent for a while as she tried to assimilate all this. Dr. Fu might be annoying but she couldn’t deny he was brilliant. What he said could actually be true. But if it was true then where did that leave her? She needed people addicted, not dead!

It was like Dr. Fu could read her mind because he immediately spoke up.

“I have an idea for the drug, dealer! I have an idea!”

He moved out of the room quickly and moved towards his other experiments. The zombies floating in the glass tubes turned their bleach-white eyes towards him as he neared them and began to growl. He hugged one of the tubes and purred in excitement.

It seemed he would be using his babies after all.. They would be the perfect settler for the drug, or at least their blood would. There was a reagent inside them that prevented their bodies from breaking down under a great amount of stress and he was sure that putting that inside the Wisteria would allow people enjoy the feeling without being overwhelmed!! Genius!
