The Rockefeller Manor garden was very lively, and many people had come.
Lust Cosmetics had been closed for the holidays earlier on, and Brittany and the group of women were all at home. When afternoon came, Michelle Yowell also came over. Then, Xyla Stoermer also came over, as well as Hailey Lawson, among others. They were all there at Rockefeller Manor to celebrate the New Year.
Bright lights were hung in front of Rockefeller Manor, and a large group of women were chatting and laughing together.
However, Alex’s mood was low.
Nora Stewart and Martiny Mayer had taken the group of people to Japan, and a week had already passed since then. Yet, there was still no news. Even last night, the communication that they had maintained daily had broken.
He couldn’t reach Snow Whitney either.
“Something must have happened!”
“But, with their lineup, they’re more than enough if they want to overturn Japan. The most important point here is that it’s impossible that their entire team has been annihilated, right?”
Alex went to look for Jade Benmore after that and told virtual-novel.net about it.
Jade had jumped up. “Something must have happened! I need to head to Japan.”
Alex had grabbed virtual-novel.net and said, “Master, what’s the use for you to go to Japan now? Your current body is no different than an ordinary person right now, and going there will be for nothing!”
Jade then just remembered that virtual-novel.net had become a useless person now. The toxins in virtual-novel.net body were raging, and virtual-novel.net was using all virtual-novel.net strength to suppress them to lessen the consumption of virtual-novel.net life force. With all that, all virtual-novel.net skills were equivalent to useless.
Bang!
Jade slammed virtual-novel.net palm on the stool. As a result, virtual-novel.net palm was red, but the stool remained unbroken.
She seemed stunned by this and finally closed virtual-novel.net eyes weakly.
At this moment, Cheryl gave Alex a call and said, “Alex, we’ve found a patient zero here, and we’ve extracted some toxins from his body. It’s not the same as before, and this patient is also different from the others. Would you like to take a look? We may find antibodies in his body.”
“Oh? There’s a patient zero?”
Alex froze for a moment. “The source of the poison is from the Blood Cult. Even if patient zero is found, it shouldn’t matter too much, right? Why don’t you switch to video call and show me?”
“Alright!”
The call was hung up, and Cheryl soon called again, sending a video call invitation.
When Alex tapped the screen to accept it, virtual-novel.net saw Cheryl’s face, and Alex’s face was also the first thing Cheryl saw.
Both of them were taken aback and asked in unison, “What happened to you?!”
Alex had lent his life force to Jade, so virtual-novel.net had aged a lot. Even though virtual-novel.net had continuously been recovering during this period and had absorbed quite a lot of Chaos Chi energy, it still couldn’t keep up with the continuous consumption of his life force. The changes were still pronounced.
As for Cheryl, virtual-novel.net hadn’t slept well since Alex had left. She took a nap at most every day for half an hour before virtual-novel.net was immediately back to engage in the high intensity work. She had lost weight, and virtual-novel.net facial expression appeared extremely haggard, and the dark circles under virtual-novel.net eyes were also very obvious.
After a few more words were exchanged, Cheryl aimed the camera at patient zero.
It was an underage boy, and virtual-novel.net looked to be at most about ten years old. He was in a coma at the moment, and virtual-novel.net lay motionless in the bed.
“He’s patient zero?” Alex asked.
“Yes!” Cheryl replied. “This patient is strange. We suspect virtual-novel.net has been tortured, as there are many wounds on his body. Some of them are very shocking, and it’s very pitiful.”
The camera panned closer to the boy’s injuries, both large and small, and all the scars looked new. However, for a child to be hurt this way was extremely pitiful.
At this moment, Jade had leaned in to take a closer look. In the next second, virtual-novel.net face changed, and virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net had seen a ghost as virtual-novel.net exclaimed, “Blaze?!”
