Research Results

With a legitimate Vampires available for experiments, and an unlimited supply of materials for the Vampires, Black Super's experiments became increasingly daring.

However, Black Super did not conduct experiments directly on the other person, but instead used blood samples or body tissue samples for testing.

Rather than discussing the issue of inhumanity, Black Super was more worried about whether some substance could directly take away the Vampires test subjects in one fell swoop.

If they're all burned to ashes, are we going to have Blade go and catch another one?

It's a small matter to disregard Vampires' lives, but a huge deal to waste time. What could be done in one night will take several more nights to find test subjects. Why bother?

The Super Brain lived up to its reputation; the Black Super quickly identified the suitable substance in the garlic extract. It wasn't a single component of garlic, but rather a mixture in a certain proportion.

The first batch of mixture was quickly prepared by Black Super, followed by several batches of similarly proportioned mixtures. Which ratio would yield the best results would depend on further experimentation.

Because it is a reducing agent, it targets red blood cells in the blood. Therefore, human trials are not required; testing can be conducted using blood samples.

Black Super not only used blood samples from bound Vampires for experiments, but also used Blade's blood sample for the same experiments. He wanted to see how a complete Vampires differed from Blade, who claimed to be a half- Vampires.

The experiment showed that the reducing agent had the same effect on the blood of both individuals. Different ratios resulted in slight differences in the speed, time, and effectiveness of the reduction. However, the blood samples from both individuals exhibited identical characteristics.

This means that the reducing agent created by Black Super can not only be used to suppress Blade's Bloodlust Syndrome, but can also be used by legitimate Vampires.

Record the characteristics of different ratios, focusing on several ratios with particularly distinctive effects.

While its reduction effect is relatively slow, its duration of action is long, making it suitable for use as a long-lasting reducing agent.

It still has a strong restorative effect, but it loses its effectiveness in a short time. It can be used as a temporary restorative agent during battle.

These suggestions were recorded in the form of notes, and it was up to Blade to decide which one he wanted to use in the future. Black Super would not interfere.

Black Super also conducted additional tests on the effects of the reducing agent on body tissue cells. This meant that samples had to be taken from Vampires; they didn't consider using Blade.

The results were not ideal. The mixture extracted by the Black Super was effective against red blood cells, which lack nuclei. However, binuclear cells infected with the Vampire Virus were resistant to the reducing agent, and the virus could not even kill the infected cells.

Although it had no effect on the body's tissues and cells infected with the Vampire Virus, this suited Black Super's intentions perfectly. He only wanted to create a delaying agent for the Bloodlust Syndrome, not Antidote to restore Vampires to human form.

The reducing agent is almost ready, and the synthesis of Erythropoietin is also almost complete.

Erythropoietin was removed from a medical test tube shaker and injected into a red bone marrow sample on a glass slide using a Black Super. The changes were then observed under a microscope.

I don't know if it's because they're outside the human body, but although red blood cells are produced in the red bone marrow, the rate of production is far slower than that of a normal human body in a stable state.

Further examination of the Vampires samples revealed that the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor in Vampires cells differed from that in humans. This falls into the realm of molecular biology, and unless Vampires cooperate with cutting-edge medical research, it would be difficult to detect this difference.

However, there has been some progress in red blood cell production. Further research into the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor in Vampires is likely moving towards longevity and immortality, which is irrelevant to Black Super's current topic, so it will be put on hold for now.

Standing before the test tube Erythropoietin, Black Super tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Current methods include extracting bone marrow from the only pure human on site, namely Abraham Whistler, for in vitro experiments.

Or perhaps it's for drawing the Blade?

Or what if we just go straight to human experimentation, using Vampires as subjects?

While Black Super was pondering the pros and cons, Abraham Whistler had already finished reading the annotations Black Super had left on the reducing agent formula.

Although he didn't help with the entire experimental research, he observed it from the sidelines. He didn't mention what he understood, and he asked questions about what he didn't.

Later, the experimental research process remained relatively quiet because the research content had become far beyond what was expected, to the point that even Abraham Whistler couldn't understand it despite Black Super's explanations.

So he didn't ask any more questions, and Black Super focused on his research.

But the lame old Vampires hunter could still understand the research results.

The annotations on the reducing agent formula gave him some ideas. However, he didn't dare disturb Black Super's thoughts... Well, this persistence probably only lasted three minutes.

Because the other person was wearing a hood, it was impossible to tell whether they were dozing off or deep in thought. Abraham Whistler asked, "Was your potion a success or a failure? Why did it take you so long to think about it?"

Following behind Abraham Whistler, Blade, who was looking at the annotations of the reducing agent formula, also looked up at Black Super.

Black Super frankly stated, "This is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. The effect I just experienced wasn't very noticeable. I don't know if it's because the experiment was conducted in vitro, or because it involved using Vampires bone marrow."

"So, what are you thinking about right now?"

"Should we extract your human bone marrow for experiments, or conduct human experiments directly on that guy? As for Blade's bone marrow... I don't think it will significantly change the current situation."

Instead of directly refusing, Abraham Whistler asked, "Is this guy still of any use?" He was obviously referring to the Vampires who was tied to the workbench, suffering from a cervical spine injury and high-level paralysis.

Black Super thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I've already kept all the data I needed to observe and compare, and I've completed all the experiments I could do and the materials I needed. It's of no use to me anymore. It's up to you how you want to handle it."

Without a word, Abraham Whistler pointed at the unfortunate Vampires they had captured and said, "Then let's stop talking nonsense and just do the experiment on him. Whether the result is good or bad, it'll be a matter of life and death."

"Anyway, the worst-case scenario is that he'll be burned to a crisp, and this potion is just not up to par. But you made two potions in less than one night, are you sure this stuff will actually work?"

Black Super said, "The solution isn't something that needs to be researched from scratch; it's just that the researchers didn't think it could be used on Vampires. I just need to synthesize it myself and determine the dosage."

The situation with Erythropoietin is indeed as Black Super described, but the situation with erythrocyte reducing agents is different. He is simply using one concept to confuse the two situations.

However, it's understandable that Abraham Whistler didn't want to have his bone marrow extracted, as this medical procedure carries risks.

Even with local anesthesia, the patient will still experience pain. If the practitioner's technique is inadequate, it is not impossible for them to cause even greater harm.

Now that Abraham Whistler had made his decision, Black Super stopped worrying and began preparing to inject the Vampires test subject.

Black Super stopped before injecting a large dose of Erythropoietin into the syringe.

The two Vampires hunters beside him, who were eagerly anticipating the outcome, were puzzled. Blade asked, "What's wrong?"

"You guys get your weapons ready first. If it works too well, and he manages to break free, you can just send him on his way. It wouldn't be good if he got away and word got out about what happened here."

"That could happen?" Abraham Whistler asked in surprise.

Just in case.

Black Super's suggestion was correct, and Blade and his companion certainly wouldn't object.

Abraham Whistler picked up a shotgun loaded with silver bullets, while Blade returned to his room and retrieved his silver-plated titanium sword.

Two Vampires hunters stood on either side of the workbench. Black Super stood at the Vampires's waist, injecting a large dose of Erythropoietin into his lumbar spine.
