Chapter 391: 391 Chapter: Adaptive Remodeling Therapy_1

Grey Farmar stood still by his desk for a long time. After confirming that the other party wouldn’t reply to him again, he finally took action.

He believed that Medea must have found Fengling in some secretive way. This Ghost, who should have died "outside," had come for revenge. And the only clue they had now all pointed to one thing.

Polick Spiritual Energy Syndrome.

It wasn’t the syndrome itself that was important, but who had contracted the illness.

As long as the company figured this out before Medea did, they would be able to regain the initiative.

...

"They’ve really started investigating."

Bai Zhu exclaimed in amazement at everything that had happened today, surpassed her comprehension. With just two cryptic messages, without even mentioning anything about Fengling or Polick Spiritual Energy Syndrome, Medea had managed to set Grey on the path they had envisioned for their investigation.

The routines of the big corporations were indeed plentiful.

"I’m watching him."

Using his own clearance, Grey connected to the company’s intranet where all the information regarding Fengling was stored.

Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical was not the only "sponsor" of Fengling. To the corporations of the United Government, Fengling was more like a public asset. Even the competing companies had reached an agreement on this issue, creating a communal database.

In fact, they weren’t the first to discover Fengling’s special constitution.

He scrolled through the notes, which contained information not only about Fengling himself but also about his family.

Despite being in District 2, they were among the most miserable, owning no companies and playing no significant political roles. The entire family still lived the outdated lifestyle of the pre-war era, and the Sword Drawing Art that had been passed down through generations had now become nothing more than an entertainment show.

Had Fengling not appeared, they would have been gradually phased out by the world, just like those families that couldn’t keep up with the times.

As Grey delved deeper, he finally found the entry for Polick Spiritual Energy Syndrome, which was the main reason the first pharmaceutical company got involved with the family.

In the reports, they referred to someone as "Subject A," but that wasn’t Fengling.

The reports clearly stated that the treatment for "Subject A" had been declared a failure, and the rescue subject died on his sick bed in less than half a year.

"Subject A" wasn’t the only research subject to die in bed. The pursuit of a cure for Polick Spiritual Energy Syndrome was not successful, and to this very day, it remains an unsolved issue.

As for the remedy...

Cybernetic adaptation therapy?

Such treatment was extremely common. Since Polick Spiritual Energy Syndrome was believed to be a load that the current physical state couldn’t bear, most remedies attempted to strengthen the body’s tolerance through medication. This was theoretically feasible but faced unknown challenges in practice.

After the physical endurance of the subjects was enhanced, they exhibited a more pronounced rejection response to Spiritual Energy, often resulting in accelerated death.

There was no explanation for these symptoms, which were considered to be beyond biological explication.

Why had Medea taken an interest in these failed experiments?

Such a commonality in cybernetic adaptation therapy wouldn’t stand out unless "Subject A" was part of the same family as Fengling. Otherwise, a confirmed dead subject wouldn’t have been included in the database since a dead subject could offer no value to ongoing research.

Could it be that they believed the failed subject and Fengling were connected?

With this in mind, Grey checked the dates on the data again. Although there was no logical connection between the two events, it was indeed after "Subject A" died that an accidental medical check revealed Fengling’s unique condition.

Unlike Grey, who was full of doubts, Medea’s eyes gleamed with fervor.

This failed "Subject A" seemed to be the source of Fengling’s unique constitution.

"Song Lan said he saw a monster hidden in Fengling’s blade, one that looked like the monsters transformed by CTEA-32. No known cybernetic adaptation therapy could turn a human into that," Bai Zhu pondered, then asked, "Are you suggesting that the failed ’Subject A’ bore the side effects of the medication for Fengling?"

It was indeed a plausible explanation, but without any theoretical foundation.

She remembered Medea once studied Elmon, whose Consciousness Entity state had piqued her curiosity, but all their research had led nowhere. They could never explain why Elmon could exist as a spirit, even after leaving his physical body.

Perhaps they had already found a remedy for the Polick Spiritual Energy Syndrome?

Regardless, Medea now knew the direction to work towards.

"No wonder Song Lan brought up Polick Spiritual Energy Syndrome; he had guessed from the beginning!"

What they were doing now was to prove the accuracy of this speculation.

The last question left for them was the exact identity of "Subject A." Without a doubt, this dead "Subject A" was the sole reason Fengling had petitioned the Review Council and come to District 17.

Those frail memories perhaps never belonged to Fengling from the start!

...

Meanwhile, atop the Tesla Tower, Song Lan stood on the edge, with the piercing cold wind brushing against his face.

"Not long ago, Obena Lionheart also visited this place."

He stood at the edge of the rooftop. The day was clear, no fog, all of the city’s bustle in full view.

Song Lan was not one to seek high places, especially when Tesla’s whole building was out of power, with no elevators functioning.

The stairs from the first floor to the rooftop had nearly cost him his life.

But the reason he had to be here now was the gigantic monster behind him, occupying much of the rooftop. He couldn’t be sure if the rookie rescuers could see this "Guardian Spirit," but to prevent "Unknown Monster Invades District 17" from becoming a headline, he had chosen a somewhat hidden location.

The "Guardian Spirit" seemed to understand human language but couldn’t express itself freely.

It just stood there, towering behind him, its crimson eyes gazing down at him with vigilance.

"I mean no harm to you. I’ve just been curious."

He redirected his gaze, turning around to face this being that looked like a Void creature to any onlooker and didn’t need any embellishment.

"Why don’t you want Fengling to know about your existence?"
