As my consciousness faded, I slipped into unconsciousness.
I knew all too well that Nancy was redirecting her anger toward me. Before the leader of Genome Society could reprimand her, she would undoubtedly take it out on me.
As I had anticipated, I found myself in the operating room upon awakening. Nancy had intentionally prevented the anesthetist from numbing me before forcibly extracting my premolar.
Feeling the pain and tasting blood in my mouth, I clenched my fists. I pounded the bed in anguish.
"Feeling the pain?" Nancy's voice dripped with fury as she held my tooth with forceps.
"Stephany Larson, you implanted such a sophisticated locator in your tooth just to reveal the location of our laboratory, didn't you?
"I knew it... You're a wildcard. Reincarnation is nothing but a fabrication to entice Genome Society's interest in you, luring them to bring you back!"
I was stunned, staring at the tooth Nancy was holding.
Why was there a locator in my tooth? I hadn't undergone any dental procedures since my reincarnation... which implied it was Stephany who had implanted it.
A shiver raced down my spine as I pondered. Was Stephany a member of the Rebels?
"I've told the organization countless times there's no such thing as soul reincarnation technology in the world! Yet they persisted in bringing you back, believing you can offer more value..." Nancy flung the tooth aside and seized my neck.
"You're not the reincarnated Stephanie Carlson. You're Stephany Larson. You deceived yourself just as much as you deceived us." Nancy's sudden smile hinted at a revelation.
Then, she turned to the mercenaries, her gaze piercing. "Did you uncover what I requested?"
"We've apprehended Peter Jones' daughter," the mercenaries responded.
Linda? Had they brought Linda here?
I struggled vigorously, spitting out blood before managing to speak, "What are you going to do to Linda? I truly have no idea what you're talking about!"
"You'll find out soon," Nancy said firmly, grabbing my hair and gesturing for the others to escort me to the interrogation room.
Nancy seemed determined to unearth the truth before facing any consequences from Genome Society. Feeling a rising sense of dread, I followed Nancy to the interrogation room. Inside, Linda was bound to a chair. She was screaming and shaking her head. It was clear they had drugged her.
"My dad... knows Stephany Larson..." Linda's words confirmed Stephany's connection to Peter.
"After Stephanie Carlson's death, my dad had Stephany Larson assume her identity, claiming it would attract attention from Genome Society and the conglomerates, prompting them to bring her back as a valuable subject. Then... the location of the laboratory would be exposed..."
"My dad is a member of the Rebels.... One of the masterminds behind the serial murder case..." Linda's voice cracked with anguish. Tears streamed down her face as she clenched her fists tightly.
In essence, Peter was both a victim and a perpetrator in the serial murder case. Yasmin was merely one of
his pawns.
His true aim was to dismantle Genome Society.
"We received news from the hospital today that Peter is dead," Nancy said coldly, seizing my hair once more. "I must admit, Peter was quite cunning. Who would've guessed he was one of the leaders of the Rebels?"
Indeed, it was unfathomable that the psychiatrist trusted by Genome Society was also a key figure in the Rebels.
"The inspectors in Huma have uncovered the mastermind behind the serial murder case. In the basement of an old asylum, they found evidence of Peter's murder plan as well as proof of his purchase of the ruins in the north of Myrindara.
"Peter has been scheming everything for years... Stephanie Carlson's parents and Andy Lincoln, they were all founders of the Rebels..."
Nancy took out her phone and showed me the day's news, titled "Serial murder case solved! Peter Jones, the renowned psychiatrist, revealed as the true culprit!"
The serial murder case was declared solved. However, was Peter the sole orchestrator behind it all? Was this truly the end of the serial murder case?
