Revenge After Death



Nancy laughed.

"I thought you'd want to start from your birth. Instead, you're more curious about the deaths of your parents and Andy Lincoln..."

She looked at me curiously as she gradually approached me. "By parents, did you mean Stephanie's parents?"

I furrowed my brows and didn't respond.

"Do you actually think you're Stephanie Carlson?" She gripped my chin and looked at my face.

"I'm guessing Genome Society probably used all the necessary means to prove that you're the reincarnation of her... That band of lunatics so desperately wanted to show that you could bring back a dead soul," she said.

She suddenly let out a laugh before continuing, "Once someone gets money and power, they start wanting more and more... So many of the rich invest an absurd amount of their wealth into achieving immortality. "They utilize the most advanced technology and medicine found in modern day, the most expensive substances and inhumane ways to prolong their life... all because they have the money to do so.

"What a shame, though. Ultimately, you just can't go against the law of nature..." Nancy's voice turned low. "When the time comes, you'll end up dying anyway. So many of the rich lay on their deathbeds, wishing the way to immortality was discovered while they were still alive..."

I frowned and remained silent as she spoke.

"Your very existence will have those crazed millionaires bewitched... As of now, you're the most valuable one among all the other experiments. As an experiment, you're a product belonging to Genome Society," she said with a smile.

"Genome Society will put all of you on display for the wealthy to admire and invest in. Then, they'll tell Genome Society what they're curious about, and the lot of you will get selected... for experiments."

Like cloning, organ transplants, cord blood... et cetera.

"In recent years, medical advancement has reached its limits. The average lifespan has been restricted by factors such as genes and environment. The wealthy reach the average age of about 90 to a hundred years old at most.

"Genome editing might be one of the most successful projects Genome Society has under their belt, but this concerns future generations... The wealthy care more about themselves,"

Nancy brought me into the villa. She told me that they weren't as willing to invest money in Genome Society anymore. Genome editing had matured. There was nothing new that excited them anymore. Hence, they weren't willing to invest.

"And Stephanie... has given us a very big surprise." She placed Stephanie's files on the table.

Nancy continued, "Stephanie died. The experiment that's been under strict surveillance ever since birth was murdered right before our eyes...

"The body was even displayed in a glass case. This was a blatant provocation from the Rebels to Genome Society,"Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She smiled as she spoke again, "But that wasn't all. The surprise 'Stephanie' gave everyone was... she reincarnated. She reincarnated into Stephany's body."

This topic immediately caused a stir. The conglomerates behind Genome Society were all excited.

They were all of old age, and they didn't want to die. All of them wanted to know the secret to immortality and eternal life.

"Since historical times, after power and money, the hunt for immortality grew crazier as time passed..." She leaned against the couch. "Three years ago, Steven Lincoln joined Genome Society through the Lincoln family.

"He mentioned the possibility of reincarnation and transfer of memories. At the very start, his plans didn't gather much attention."

Nancy was telling me about Steven joining Genome Society. She wasn't in a hurry to tell me about the deaths of Andy Lincoln and my parents.

"The rich weren't idiots-they thought it was nothing more than a fantasy." She then pulled out a couple of photos. They were photos of Joel from his early childhood to photos of him in high school uniform. I looked at her apprehensively. Had Joel already been targeted by Genome Society?
