Chapter 484
This time, someone paid a hefty sum on a question directed at the Genome Society.
Evidently, the person asking the question was amused by what I was going through. They didn't think the lie detector was cruel enough, so they wanted to amp it up.
The doctor's lips curved upward.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
He grabbed a syringe from the shelf at the side. "In order to make sure that the medicine is legitimate, this truth serum was sent over by the one who submitted the question... The entire process was transparent and verified by the orgnization."
I tried to break free from the restraints on my wrists. Ha... A truth serum? All it did was interfere with one's perception and cognitive abilities. Technically, it was a tranquilizer.
I took a deep breath and stared at the screen. My fingers tapped absentmindedly on the armrest of the chair.
I wasn't sure if Steven or Joel was able to watch the live stream of this test...
The doctor injected the medication into my body when I was least prepared.
Once it entered the bloodstream, the person would lose consciousness within three seconds. The brain wouldn't even think consciously.
"Who told you to pretend to be Stephanie?" a conglomerate asked another question on the screen.
The doctor yanked my hair and asked me to answer.
I knew... that they were anticipating my response. The organization wanted me to be the actual Stephanie more than anyone else did.
I had to be Stephanie...
If I wasn't, I'd lose my value. That would mean that I'd be recalled and dealt with.
Hence, I had to be Stephanie.
My survival instincts wanted me to fight, but I couldn't control myself. I wasn't even sure what answers I'd given them.
The loud whirring of the machine echoed in my ears as my consciousness gradually blurred.
By the time I woke up, I was locked in a pod-like experiment room.
There was another transparent lab here with countless experimental subjects.
We were locked in like lab rats placed under observation.
I slammed my hands against the transparent walls and glanced around my surroundings in anger. I didn't know how many questions they asked after they dosed me with the truth serum. I also wasn't sure how I answered...
If I wasn't actually Stephanie Carlson... Was I already exposed at this point?
I was slightly afraid and sat on the bed biting my nails.
I soon quieted down. They wouldn't have spent so much effort to cage me up again if I'd actually lost my value.
All of a sudden, there was a ringing sound coming from the lab.
I glanced around in confusion. Everyone dressed in white hospital gowns had all stood up. They looked like trained and obedient pets waiting for their meals to arrive at the sound of the bell.
My expression was sour. Physical training... They'd completely dehumanized the experimental subjects.
I counted. Excluding myself, there were eight subjects-three guys and five women.
Among them, two of the women had enlarged stomachs. The fetus in their wombs were clearly new experiments as well.
The door opened. The doctor who was previously involved in my test entered with several staff members in tow. Behind him, one of them was pushing a meal cart while dressed in protective clothing.
The staff members placed the meals in each pod.
When they reached my end, they were just about to place down my meal when the doctor stopped them. Then, he dumped all of my food into the bin in front of my face.
