Chapter 896 -268: Professor Laximi and the Blood Coral_3

“That thing, my master never told me.”

Paul said frankly: “My master deepened her contact with me under the assumption that I would ‘definitely betray’ her in the future. To this day, I still don’t know her real name—she said that she would tell me everything once I became the Son of the Moon.”

“What about her appearance? She couldn’t possibly be wearing a mask to drink your blood, right?”

This statement wasn’t asked by Aleister, but instead spontaneously asked by Dimitri.

And Paul had already guessed that they would ask this, so he directly answered: “My master has the ability to change her appearance, so every time she visits me, she looks different. I only know that she seems to be Fourth Level… but even the tutor respects her a lot.

“I remember the tutor referred to her as… Blood Coral.”

...

Following his master’s orders, Paul hesitated not a bit to betray his own master.

“…Blood Coral.”

Aleister raised an eyebrow, somewhat unexpectedly.

She really knew this codename.

This is one of the many daughters and lovers of Red Chancellor, closely linked to Minister Drost’s “Blood Diamond”… It is said that the two of them are biological sisters.

After pondering briefly, Aleister stored this piece of information in her mind.

She continued to inquire: “Then tell me about the ‘Hangman’s Noose’ Magic Potion—Who is your professor, and why would they scatter this drug in the open sea? Why does the Army Department think this drug carries special significance?”

“This drug can transform a person into a state similar to an ‘undead’…originally it was invented as a kind of ‘preservative’. It is discharged by the human body under normal dosages, hence, it is deemed a very safe preservative. If it’s applied to a corpse, it can keep the corpse fresh for a long time. It was only much later discovered that by increasing its concentration, it could serve as a special, quite covert chronic poison.”

Paul, being an excellent student, fluently replied without hesitation: “During poisoning, the poisoned individual gradually feels an increasing sense of suffocation. Thus, when it’s used as a poison, it’s called ‘Hangman’s Noose’—if the toxins continue accumulating, thinking becomes gradually sluggish. In this state, individuals become foolish and irritable… And children born at this time are naturally poisoned, known as ‘silent children’.

“Because the drug is so covert and easy to obtain… many students steal and purify it, selling it outside. The Spirit Summoning Tower has banned the synthesis of this poison. Later, a mass destruction of the drug was carried out, and this year it completely banned the preservative used as raw material… Now we have reverted back to using formalin, invented by Dean Formalin long ago.

“As for the military department’s research project, they want us to explore—whether tiny amounts of this ‘non-toxic preservative,’ if scattered and fed to marine organisms, could be enriched and purified naturally through their mutual predation. If possible, they could serve as a covert, undetectable weapon…”

Hearing Paul’s words, Aleister slightly narrowed her eyes, her expression turning stern.

A stern light flashed through her eyes, making Paul shiver uncontrollably, and he stopped narrating.

“What about your master?”

She spoke, asking in a calm tone: “What identity did she use to join this experiment?”

“…My master provided the ship tickets and our mission to come here.

“But what she truly wanted was leverage over Professor Laximi.”

Paul replied.
