Chapter 184: Poisoned
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sirius helplessly stared at his good friend.
“Why are you looking at me like that? How is Luo Ying now?” There was an IV tube in Lu Zhao’s hand, and his face was pale.
He reached out to yank at the IV tube.
Sirius quickly walked to his side and grabbed his hand. “Luo Ying was struck by simple knockout gas. She’s already out of the waters. You should be worried about yourself now.”
Lu Zhao frowned and looked at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu took out a tube of blue liquid from the test tube box. It was a deep blue and carried the color of the ocean. It looked like the venom of a poisonous snake. “I extracted this from your wound. It’s a non-toxic poison.”
Lu Zhao frowned. How could something non-toxic be poison?
“It’s something that the people on Neverland Island concocted. There’s no antidote for this.” Wen Yu placed the test tube back into the test tube box and looked at Lu Zhao with a frown.
Neverland was a hellish place. Not only were the enemies of some powerful elites imprisoned there, but some people with special abilities were also imprisoned there.
Many highly-skilled poison researchers were also there, living a carefree life. Every single day, they passionately buried themselves in their research.
“This poison will soon enter your bloodstream and leave traces in your body along your blood vessels.” Lu Zhao’s eyes darkened.
“In other words, this poison has already spread all over my body?” Lu Zhao asked.
“Of course, but this poison has not started rearing its head just yet. It has not been activated,” Wen Yu said. “It exists in your body, but it won’t hurt you.” “Then what’s so dangerous about this poison?” Lu Zhao asked.
Those lunatics would never develop anything harmless. This poison should have a very special way of taking effect.
“This poison will only react with another type of poison. I’ve seen this technique before, but I haven’t found out what the other poison is yet,” Wen Yu said.
This was a very advanced method of poisoning. As long as the poison was placed in a person’s body, they could be held hostage by the other party.
The one holding the reactive agent would be the one pulling the trigger.
Upon hearing this, Sirius couldn’t help but shiver. “In other words, the other person now owns Lu Zhao?”
Wen Yu sighed and shook her head. “Unless Lu Zhao goes to a place that is completely isolated from the world, he will always be exposed to such a risk.”
Lu Zhao ran many massive conglomerates in the world. How could he isolate himself?
Lu Zhao’s eyes darkened. “What reaction might happen when the poison gets activated?”
“I believe it would either cause madness or unbearable pain,” said Wen Yu. These people rarely used poison for lethal purposes. Dying too quickly was no tun. ‘l’nelr concoctions were used to torture people.
Lu Zhao was such a strong person. If he was tortured into a lunatic who would go crazy at any time, or if he had to endure unbearable pain day after day, it would be a torture that was more severe than death.
Lu Zhao’s eyes darkened. “We can’t tell Luo Ying about this. Also, we have to find out the solution to this medicine as soon as possible.”
Wen Yu nodded solemnly. “I’ll try my best.”
Although she was also proficient in making poison, she was no match to the minds of such lunatics.
As they continued the discussion, the door was suddenly pushed open and Luo Ying’s face appeared outside.
Wen Yu and Sirius turned pale with fright.
“Luo Ying, didn’t I tell you to have a good rest? Why are you here?” asked Wen
Wen Yu was very worried that Luo Ying had heard something. Lu Zhao had just instructed them not to tell Luo Ying anything, yet Luo Ying had come here by herself.
“I couldn’t sit still. I wanted to see Lu Zhao,” Luo Ying said to Wen Yu and Sirius with a smile.
Sirius observed Luo Ying’s expression and didn’t find anything strange. She had seemed to have heard it.
Sirius heaved a sigh of relief and left the room with Wen Yu.
As the two of them left the room, Luo Ying sat beside Lu Zhao and reached out to hug him. She took a deep breath.
“Why aren’t you resting?” Lu Zhao reached out and pulled Luo Ying into his arms. He gently stroked her hair..
