Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 804 - 512 Advanced_2

Reflecting on this, Feng Yi suddenly understood.

Old Yuan had investigated the same poison that afflicted A’wang.

"Back then, we found that the poison was likely artificially created by combining animal and plant toxins through some technique," Team Leader Yuan said.

"I heard A’wang’s recovery has been satisfactory?" Feng Yi remarked.

"With medicine and expert guidance provided by the Ancestral Factory, he has made a good recovery," Team Leader Yuan responded, his expression softening momentarily before he became serious again and took out several photographs.

Feng Yi looked at the photographs displayed, which were only of localized areas of the patients.

Feng Yi could tell that these weren’t of A’wang, but the symptoms resembled those A’wang had exhibited during his poisoning.

He vividly remembered delivering medicine at that time, with Wu administering the medication to A’wang. He had also seen A’wang in the hospital room—his skin had turned an abnormal shade of black, covered with blood blisters.

Team Leader Yuan said, "In our subsequent investigations, we discovered several more cases. Without specific drugs to neutralize the toxins and without adequate medical means, those poisoned would die a prolonged, extremely painful death."

Feng Yi, "It sounds like it was designed to torture people."

Team Leader Yuan said, "Indeed, it is. Criminals acquire this poison through shady channels for use in revenge."

Feng Yi asked, "Where does this poison come from? Have you found out?"

Team Leader Yuan shook his head and then took out a few more photographs.

Feng Yi’s gaze sharpened.

The skin exposed in these new close-up photographs was purplish-black, and furthermore, they bore similar blood blisters to the ones in the earlier photographs.

Feng Yi queried, "What are these?"

Team Leader Yuan stood up, opened a sealed box, and took out a transparent box containing several grayish-white pills.

Although these pills were contained in the box, the moment they were taken out—no, the moment the box was opened—Feng Yi had already captured the scent.

Somewhat familiar...

It was very similar to the scent exuded by that shareholder who had been kicked out of the group chat!

Feng Yi maintained his composure, looking at Team Leader Yuan, waiting for his next words.

Team Leader Yuan did not keep him guessing, saying, "While tracking that poison, we also discovered these pills, which likely come from the same source.

"In the beginning, those who take these pills feel as if, with mortal bodies, they have been endowed with divine strength. They sense their lives have been turned upside down!

"There is indeed an effect, but it is more of their delusion.

"They become dependent on this feeling."

Team Leader Yuan paused, then said, "That is to say, this drug is addictive!

"As the intake of the drug continues, the level of danger gradually increases until it reaches a certain critical point, and then, their bodies can no longer bear it. They begin to experience terrifying hallucinations, palpitations, nerve pain, and a sensation throughout the body like being pricked by needles or scorched by fire, yet externally nothing seems amiss, and everything appears as though it’s just their hallucinations.

"With the stable and prolonged toxic effect, eventually, their skin turns this dark purple color and develops blood blisters, blood in urine, muscle damage, and so on, and they fall into a deep coma, making it hard to save them. Even if they pull through, they are left with severe, enduring aftereffects."

Feng Yi listened quietly until the other finished speaking, then said, "So, you are hoping that the laboratories at the Ancestral Factory could assist in analyzing this drug?"

Team Leader Yuan sincerely replied, "Yes, the Ancestral Factory has some of the world’s top medical and pharmaceutical labs and talent, a strong professional team, and a wealthier experience!"

Feng Yi’s expression remained unchanged, "And?"

Team Leader Yuan smiled slightly, then composed himself and earnestly said, "And, whether it would be possible to develop a targeted therapeutic drug!"

"We still don’t fully understand it, and we don’t know exactly how much of this drug has entered the black market, but it’s definitely a lot! Not just domestically, some places abroad are even worse. This drug abuse can cause an ever-expanding disaster!"

Feng Yi said, "I’ll discuss this with President Yue and President Ji and get back to you as soon as possible."

A major city, night.

After finishing the latest episode of "Survivor," Feng Chi had some downtime and made a guest appearance on a big-budget film and television drama.

Today, he was invited by a big shot in the circle to attend a gathering at a private club.

Feng Chi was outgoing and got along well with most of the artists in the crew.

After drinking some alcohol and having fun, he was about to sing a duet with a female singer to entertain everyone when a familiar artist friend pulled him aside.

A few people gathered in a corner.

Feng Chi listened to them share some recent troubles and experiences of getting out of slumps, and then he saw someone pull out a few small pills.

Under the lighting, the atmosphere made it hard to see exactly what color they were.

Feng Chi was startled, "Ah, what’s this... what are you guys doing?"

The artist next to him laughed, "Don’t be scared, it’s not what you think, not a banned substance. These are pills developed by a prominent laboratory abroad, eaten by many international stars and big bosses to relieve stress. Our industry might look glamorous, but the pressure is huge."

The others around him agreed, clearly not their first time using these pills.

"I’m not lying, it’s really good stuff, we’ve all tried it!"

"I’m only recommending it to you because we’re close, it’s not something just anyone can get their hands on!"

Feng Chi cheerfully said, "Alright, I trust you guys!"

He reached out and took one. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Having drunk a lot, he squinted his eyes and looked closely at the small pill in his palm.

"Just this little thing, is it really as miraculous as you say? Can it truly relieve stress? Can it inspire creativity?"

Seeing the others had taken theirs, Feng Chi also joined in and threw it into his mouth.

Afterward, he continued to have wild fun with the others.

When the gathering ended, Feng Chi returned to his place.

With no one else in the room, Feng Chi washed his face, put on gloves, and took a pill from the pocket of his clothes.

He looked at the gray-white pill, placed it in an opaque small bottle, sealed it, wrapped it up along with a small gift he had bought the previous days, and planned to have it sent to Feng Yi in Yang City tomorrow.

Once everything was prepared, he lay on the sofa and texted Feng Yi.

The small gift comprised various local specialties he had bought, and the sealed bottle of pills was sent for Feng Yi to help analyze the composition. Ancestral Factory’s lab should be able to easily determine it.

He had to know what that little pill really was.

Feng Chi, having grown up attending gatherings, dinner parties, and mixing in various circles, he loved to have fun but was also cautious. He had a clear idea of what to eat, what not to eat, and how to act and respond in various situations.

Pfft, pills with unknown ingredients—would I eat them? Do I look that stupid?

And what about some big factory abroad?

Pah!

Is it any more advanced than my brother’s Ancestral Factory?!
