Chapter 1954

Rhea blurted those words despite herself. Mike was shocked by what he just heard.

Rhea tried to leave, but Mike seized her. “Don’t go yet! What kind of vessel are you talking about?

Didn’t you put the test tubes in the container? Why would they still need a vessel?”

He was utterly confused.

“Just forget about what I said.” Rhea was reluctant to elaborate further and struggled to break free.

However, Mike held her tightly, determined to get an answer. “Rhea, do you think the higher-ups will let you off the hook now that you’ve revealed their secret? Tell me what vessel you’re talking about!”

Irritated, Rhea stopped and turned around to look at him. “Mike, are you that dumb? You’ve been around here for so long. Haven’t you met R16, R14, R8, and others? Why are you asking the obvious?”

Mike was stunned and recalled the tortured faces of those test subjects. He had goosebumps just thinking about them. “You’re saying…”

She glared at Mike and left.

Mike stared after her and wanted to give chase but could not. Her words had left him dumbfounded.

However, the experiments shared a common characteristic, whether or not they were successful-using human beings as test subjects. Austin, Cameron, and the others were nothing more than guinea pigs.

‘Does Rhea mean Lily will become the organization’s next test subject? No, that can’t be! How can it be possible?! The organization has spent so much effort recruiting Lily for the experiment because only she can make it work. Why would they turn her into a test subject after she succeeded?

‘The organization will lose Lily if it fails. Who else can carry on with the experiment, then? I don’t get it!

Wait! Lily emphasized that the experiment wasn’t successful yet. Was she aware there’s still a final step and that she’s in danger?
