Don't forget that before the Third Great Collapse, information related to Collapse disasters on this planet had been thoroughly covered up by Moth to Fire.
To achieve that, it was easy enough to imagine what methods Moth to Fire would employ.
Compared to a flimsy confidentiality agreement, dead people were obviously far more reliable.
After all, the dead could not speak.
And since they were already dead, using them for experiments was only natural.
Making use of waste, after all.
Thus, as large numbers of test subjects were continuously delivered to these research institutes through various channels, including Moth to Fire, research projects in institutes around the world steadily progressed.
The Cause of Evil and Taking Over Industries
Mu Continent, Prometheus Research Center.
This institute was one of several research institutions heavily supported by Mu Continent's elite, specializing in Collapse Energy and vampire research.
For a long time, this research center, named after the fire-stealer, had continuously produced cutting-edge research results.
Precisely because of its outstanding achievements, survivors of Collapse incidents with exceptional Collapse Energy adaptability were selected and sent here.
According to the Prometheus Research Center, they would become "warriors" pushing back the boundaries of human science and "pioneers" bravely sacrificing themselves for the welfare of all humanity.
As everyone knew, there was an enormous gap between advertising slogans and reality.
For these "warriors" and "pioneers" sent into the Prometheus Research Center, the treatment provided by the institute was nowhere near as wonderful as advertised.
They were housed in cramped rooms of less than ten square meters, slept on crude metal-framed beds, survived on paste-like nutrient supplements, and remained under the close watch of heavily armed guards.
From the moment they entered this research center, they had already been regarded as dead by the elite who controlled them.
Thus,
