With Hua Zhen joining the academy, they used authorized access to install the Triangular Body suppression program into the Gene Engines of participating personnel. The research was completed in less than three days.
It was not that Hua Zhen was extraordinarily brilliant. The reason it had gone so quickly was the Protection Program. It combined several measures against Triangular Bodies recorded by the Great Clock with techniques Hua Zhen had put into practice through the Sub-Biological Engine. The two technologies complemented each other, making it possible.
Because of this, Karl, the lead researcher on the program project, learned many theories from Hua Zhen that he had never encountered before. He had gained a great deal.
Once scientific madmen came across knowledge that interested them—or got a taste of something on a higher level—they became insatiable. If they could not squeeze it dry, their desperate urge to seek the truth would keep tormenting them, leaving them restless and consumed by anxiety.
In any case, after the academy's research project ended, Hua Zhen noticed that Karl's gaze toward him had changed from time to time.
How should he put it...? Karl looked as though he wanted to strip him bare from head to toe. Whenever Hua Zhen met his eyes, Karl would respond with a nod and smile, sending chills down his spine.
