Chapter 561

Su Quan shook off Simon Stroud's hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Times have changed. All sorts of monsters and demons have appeared. The traditional case-handling model will soon be outdated. Roman Pearce, you have to learn to be flexible."

After saying that, he and Martina Bancroft walked past Simon Stroud and headed for the elevator.

Simon Stroud didn't stop him or ask any questions; he was simply wondering who this Roman Pearce was!

Well, he certainly wasn't thinking about such trivial questions, after all, Su Quan's attitude and hints were already quite clear.

There are two suspects in this case. Su Quan has already proven through his actions that he took Martina Bancroft off the ship. His calm attitude shows that they have nothing to do with the murder.

Secondly, he was Martina Bancroft's boyfriend, but also an investor in Morbius. If he could take Martina Bancroft away, why didn't he take Morbius away?

What was the reason for not taking Morbius with them?

Finally, Su Quan may not be directly involved in the cargo ship murder case, but he is certainly connected to the unknown events behind it. Moreover, he admitted that he deleted the ship's surveillance footage, which constitutes obstruction of official duties.

He has the right to arrest Su Quan and bring him back.

There are two reasons why we didn't do that.

First: Su Quan has already proven with his actions that he can teleport. Even if we capture him and put him in prison, he can still go wherever he wants.

Moreover, such wealthy people are not so easy to arrest. Before having any solid evidence, arresting someone who is unrelated to the case would put one in a very difficult situation and under considerable pressure.

Second: The key now is Dr. Morbius; only by finding him can we determine the direction of the next step of the investigation.

If Dr. Morbius shows any unusual behavior, then he is the prime suspect!

If Dr. Morbius is missing or dead, then we'll have to talk to Su Quan.

In conclusion, arresting or restricting Su Quan now is pointless and will only create numerous obstacles for the case.

In Morbius's project lab, Martina Bancroft finished checking the computer and turned to Su Quan with a serious expression, saying, "All the relevant experimental records have been deleted. Only Dr. Morbius has the authority to delete such important files."

"He came back!"

Su Quan shrugged. "He didn't just delete the experimental records, he also analyzed the serum here, tested the abilities, and took away all the artificial blood."

Martina Bancroft got up and went to the storage room for artificial blood, and sure enough, all the artificial blood inside was gone.

"The most deadly side effect of this serum is that it will affect the body and mind if he does not drink blood for a period of time. Simply put, if he does not drink blood regularly, not only will his body revert to its original sickly state, but he will also develop an extreme craving for blood, which will lead to loss of control."

"To put it bluntly, he's now a kind of vampire who needs blood to survive!"

The effects of artificial blood will become weaker and weaker. Don't be fooled by Morbius's current righteousness and seemingly embodiment of justice. No one wants to die, especially someone like Morbius who has been determined to save his own life since childhood.

Therefore, he will eventually embark on the path of bloodsucking and become an anti-hero who is both righteous and evil!

Only--

He can do that, but his friend can't!

Su Quan chuckled and said to Martina Bancroft, "Call our big investor, Lucius Kron, and tell him I'm going to see him in a bit."

Martina Bancroft, unaware of the implications, made a phone call to inform Lucius Kron.

A dozen minutes later, in a mansion, Su Quan, with Martina Bancroft in his arms, Teleportation in front of Lucius Kron.

The Teleportation and strangeness of the teleportation left Lucius Kron, who was sitting shakily on the sofa, dumbfounded.

"You—you all—how could you—"

You're going to die!

Su Quan's words were startling, but Lucius Kron, who looked surprised, didn't show much surprise; his expression was more one of sadness and anger.

Su Quan raised an eyebrow knowingly. "You've met Morbius?"

Lucius Kron gave a bitter laugh, "I've seen him. I never expected him to treat me like this!"

A few hours earlier, before dawn, Lucius Kron was awakened from his sleep by Morbius had broken into his house.

He thought he was dreaming.

Because Morbius recovered from his illness, he no longer needed crutches and his body became much stronger!

"You, you're so strong! Your experiment was a success? You have the medicine to save our lives and cure our illnesses?"

Morbius's experiment was a success; their illnesses could be cured! No one knows how excited Lucius Kron was at that moment!

But just as he was holding Morbius's hand, looking forward to recovering his health and being able to enjoy a new life like a normal person, Morbius pulled away.

"I made a big mistake, brother."

"We all make mistakes, don't worry."

"You've never made that kind of mistake before."

"Enough!"

"Give it to me, I need it, I'm fed up with this life, please!"

With the light at the end of the tunnel in sight, Lucius Kron was already impatient.

But Morbius looked at him and shook his head. "I can't do it."

"What do you mean you can't do it?" Lucius Kron was dumbfounded.

"I can't do it."

"I need it!"

"I did something wrong—I killed someone," Morbius said remorsefully.

Lucius Kron offered a hesitant attempt to comfort her, "It's alright, we can handle this. Those people on the ship are just scoundrels who do things for money. I can take care of this."

Morbius shook his head again. "You don't understand."

"I understand, please! Have I ever refused you? Have I ever said no to you? I always give you what you want!!!"

Lucius Kron was getting anxious.

Faced with his questioning, Morbius seemed to lose his temper, roaring, "I can't control it! I can't control it, do you understand?!"

Morbius's roar made Lucius Kron feel as if he had fallen into an icebox. He realized that Morbius had no intention of helping him and was not going to give him the life-saving medicine!

Lucius Kron stared at Morbius in disbelief, then angrily demanded, "So you can live, but I have to die, is that it?"

Morbius looked at his friend, reached out and put his arm around his head, and murmured, "It's a curse, believe me, brother, it really is a curse, I—I have to leave."

"No, no, don't go, please, brother, don't..."

Lucius Kron held on tightly, pleading incessantly, but Morbius suddenly changed his expression and pushed him away.

The vampire-like, terrifying face terrified Lucius Kron, and by the time he came to his senses, Morbius had already vanished.

Lucius Kron, who had been stabbed in the back by his best friend, couldn't understand why someone with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius could say such cold things!

He didn't know whether he should despair over his good brother's betrayal or the loss of his chance to live.

All he knew was that he was finished, and everything was over.

"Oh!"

After listening to Lucius Kron's account, Su Quan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

The plot has changed at this point compared to the movie. In the movie, Lucius Kron went to the laboratory to find Morbius, but Morbius's attitude and words were exactly the same, and he eventually drove Lucius Kron away.

However, Lucius Kron secretly took a bottle of Vampire Serum before leaving. After returning, he injected himself with the serum with a do-or-die mentality, becoming the second 'vampire'.

He then retaliated against Morbius, hoping Morbius would accept the change as he had.

Morbius is the protagonist, how could he collude with the villain? Forget about friendship and logic, in the final battle between the two, Morbius used his ultimate move to summon bats and kill Lucius Kron.

Here comes the problem!

Same disease, same serum, same abilities, Morbius can summon bats, but Lucius Kron cannot!5, and yet he, a vampire, can be killed by bats.

That's ridiculous!

What's even more absurd is that Lucius Kron drinks human blood, Morbius drinks artificial blood. Logically, Lucius Kron should be stronger Morbius, right?

In addition, he is a villain who doesn't care about anything, so his dark side has to be activated, right?

And what was the result?

Lucius Kron is dead!

This is outrageous! It's so outrageous it's beyond ridiculous!

Yes, Lucius Kron is not a good person. After becoming a vampire, he kills people without any scruples. It is reasonable and without any problem to call him a villain.

But you, Morbius, aren't much better. Your reasons for refusing to give Lucius Kron the serum are simply untenable!

Let's start with the point about out-of-control killings.

No one knew what would happen when you were injected with the serum; the lack of preparation led to the disaster.

But now that we know, can't we just make targeted preparations in advance?

If tempered glass isn't strong enough, use iron; if iron isn't strong enough, use steel; if steel isn't strong enough, find other materials. Surely there must be a way to trap it, right?

Then prepare the blood in advance, and once he goes through the first conversion period like you are now, everything will be fine, right?

It's not like you always lose control; you're being remarkably calm in rejecting him right now.

Also, have you forgotten who subdued you after you went on a killing spree on the ship?
