The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1726

Anyone in the high-tech society nowadays would hardly believe that a bug had such ultimate power. Needless to say, it was relatively unacceptable for Sebastian.

Moments later, Xayden managed to make an analysis based on the blood extracted from Kurt's body. “It's actually a bacterial infection.”

“Bacteria?” Hearing that, everyone was stupefied.

He nodded while displaying the wriggling black microorganisms visible under the microscope lens to everyone.

“The worms of Elysium are actually a type of living thing that has already mutated. After staying dormant for a long period in the human body, they can indirectly cause the hosts' body fluids to be contagious. Based on my observation of Kurt's blood sample, he could have been infected by Daphne long ago.” Xayden pointed at some of the microorganisms that appeared to be tinier. Nonetheless, they were obviously the same as the black ones he showed them a while ago.

He's infected long ago? In an instant, Vivian recalled something and chimed in, ”Yeah! Kurt had first battled against Daphne at Jason's place. At that time, she summoned those snakes with her own blood. Somehow, Kurt managed to get rid of them with a Blood Arrow.”

“That's right. Daphne was able to summon the snakes with her blood as these microorganisms can lure them. On the other hand, Kurt was able to get rid of them because the venomous snakes are terrified of his blood infected by the dormant worm in his body,” Xayden explained analytically.

Unequivocally, nothing in the world was unexplainable by science. For instance, others tended to be fooled and petrified of the worm, treating them like the deities they had reverence. Once the truth was unearthed, it would automatically become something relatively ordinary for the high-tech society.

Roppell and the witch doctor were dumbstruck. On the contrary, Karl furrowed his brows and continued to voice his doubt. “If that's the case, how could such a large number of the bacteria from the worms in Daphne's body be found in Kurt's body instead? Not to mention, they'd even waken him up all of a sudden!”

“There are two explanations for this question. First, the microorganism could still be alive even after Daphne was dead. In fact, it's a normal condition in the hospital. That's why whenever any patients infected by deadly infectious diseases pass away, we have to play safe by getting rid of their bodies with a unique method,” Xayden explained.

“Is it possible for the microorganisms to travel all the way here for Kurt? Don't you know it's thousands of miles apart?” Karl snorted.

“What to doubt on that? Don't you realize how plaque spreads? We were not the only ones back from Elysium before this. Those from SteelFort were together with us too. Even Ms. Riley from the Coopers was with us at that time. Ah! She was back at the Cooper residence yesterday for a special occasion, wasn't she? Could it be she's back with the bacteria attached to her body?” Xayden analyzed further, sending them into a tizzy.

Astounded, everyone looked at each other in bafflement. Even so, when they came to their senses a while later, they had to admit that Xayden's words made sense. Isn't the plaque similar to the Ebola virus disease deemed one of the most horrifying infectious diseases in the world? If it starts to spread, won't it turn into a pandemic?

“Head for the Cooper residence now to check if there is anything awry about Riley Cooper,” Sebastian instructed one of his subordinates.

“Noted, Mr. Hayes,” he replied respectfully and headed for the Cooper residence without hesitation.

In the meantime, Karl continued to bombard Xayden with questions. “How about another possibility? What's that actually? Didn't you mention that Riley Cooper could be the carrier of the bacteria just now? If so, how's it possible that only Kurt is infected? How could the rest of us remain uninfected?”

Da*n it! This man seems to have endless questions! Xayden scowled at him impatiently as he snapped, “Have you ever been infected by this type of bacteria before? Don't you know they will target those who have been gnawed by them first?”

Karl was at a loss for words to refute him.

“There's still another possibility. This type of bacteria could have started increasing drastically in his body. Do you get it now? Aren't you stupid?” Xayden blurted out, startling everyone at present.

My goodness! How could he have the cheek to sound so blunt to our boss! The other two members of SteelFort could only turn their heads to the other side in embarrassment.

“Does it mean to say that he's infected? What will happen to him? Evidently, he's not his usual self now and can't even recognize anyone!” Paying no heed to Xayden's frustration, Sebastian cut to the chase. Irked by Xayden's words, there was an unmistakable hint of displeasure in his tone.

Intimidated by his imposing aura, Xayden exercised restraint and rose to advance toward the microscope. “Based on my observation of his sectioned cells, it seems these bacteria did not really bring any harm to Kurt. In fact, those of his cells that were still recuperating previously suddenly have a speedy recovery.”

Sebastian queried desperately, “So, do you mean to say that...”

“After all, the bacteria are still living organisms cultivated from the human body. I could only presume that Kurt's body is ideal as the cultivation base for this type of bacteria too. Didn't his mother give him

the so-called King Worm when he was young?” Xayden cut him off as he scrutinized the sectioned cells with the microscope.

Before Sebastian could utter any words, Roppell, who had been standing in silence behind him for a long time, raised his head abruptly.qNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
