Cloning... Humans?
"Cloning Technology?"
Hermione did indeed know the word. She had once seen a brief introduction to cloning in a popular science magazine.
The so-called cloning is... is...
In short, it's a very amazing scientific technology.
She was less than 10 years old when she read that magazine, how could she possibly understand all those complicated and messy things!
She carefully examined the baby in the solution. She hadn't looked at the baby closely before because she was too terrified.
Upon closer inspection, Hermione indeed noticed something unusual.
The baby's limbs are covered with tiny scales, and there is a tail-like organ at the tailbone. The baby's forehead is also much higher than normal, and through the slightly open mouth, you can see neat and sharp teeth.
so...
"That won't do either!"
Hermione said through gritted teeth.
Even if this baby wasn't born from Bell and some Fox spirit, it's still a baby! A... human being?
After examining the baby's appearance again, Hermione really couldn't say whether this one could be considered human or not.
"Bell, I won't allow you to do this again! You'll come with me to the professors to explain the situation, and then we'll go to the Ministry of Magic to confess. Don't worry, whatever the punishment, I'll share it with you."
Hermione earnestly tried to persuade her boyfriend, who had gone astray.
"..."
Bell was speechless.
Is he guilty?
Okay, maybe that's true to some extent.
But he won't just turn himself in so easily!
Ahem... The main point is that, deep down, Bell didn't think there was anything wrong with the experiments he had done.
Not to mention those Dark Wizard who are capable of anything, even among White Wizard, he believed that there must be others doing similar things.
Putting aside everything else, just take the Ministry of Magic's shady Department of Mysteries. Heaven knows what those old men are up to every day, lurking in the Ministry of Magic's underground.
That's why he won't turn himself in to the Ministry of Magic; who knows who's dirtier?
"Hermione, this matter, although it doesn't seem so wonderful, the progress of technology... no, the progress of magic, is often inseparable from these."
Putting aside other things, just look at the Muggle society you're familiar with. When doctors are learning medicine, don't they also have to perform human anatomy to understand the specific structure of the human body?
Moreover, once new drugs and technologies are developed, they also need to undergo human trials, such as clinical trials.
Mine is similar to that kind... I guess.
Bell tried hard to persuade Hermione, but judging from the Wand that Hermione never put down, it was clear that he had little success.
This is actually quite normal. After all, if you could convince someone with just a few words, what would be the point of Auror?
"Anyway, I'm still going to do the experiment, and there's no way I'm going to turn myself in. Yeah! That's it!"
In the end, Bell chose to give up entirely.
Just kidding, if we don't do experiments, are we going to just do it on ourselves?
He must be tired of living to do that!
Bell and Hermione stared at each other, and the scene froze for a moment.
I don't know how much time passed.
"Haa~!"
Shanna yawned. The little girl was bored.
Seeing the two turn to look at her, Shanna pouted and said to her older Gege:
"Gege, let's go visit the lab in the back. I'm getting a little hungry."
Actually, Shanna also felt very uncomfortable with the somewhat terrifying experimental materials in this laboratory.
However, compared to Hermione, Shanna, who comes from a wizarding family, is more knowledgeable and has a slightly different way of thinking and common sense than Hermione, who comes from Muggle family.
Most importantly, this is her Gege's laboratory. Regardless of whether she can understand it or not, Shanna unconditionally supports everything her Gege does!
After Shanna spoke, Bell broke the silence. He looked at Hermione, whose arm was aching from holding it up, and asked:
"Do you still want to go to the lab below? Just a heads up, what follows might be even harder to accept."
"Go!"
Hermione gritted her teeth and said without hesitation.
She wanted to see just how many "heinous" things Bell could do!
Following at a distance behind the Bell siblings, Hermione had no desire to get close to Bell at all.
But the deathly silence in the corridor made her heart pound, and she couldn't help but move closer to Bell... closer still...
No! It's too close!
Hermione quickly stepped back a little more.
Hermione felt that this time she spent much longer walking in the corridor than the previous two times, whether it was her imagination or not.
Finally, as Hermione hesitated, Bell stopped for the third time.
As if time were replaying itself, a large door appeared on the wall and then opened.
Looking at the dark, empty door, Hermione nervously swallowed.
In her eyes, the laboratory door before her was like the entrance to hell. It felt as if her soul would be devoured by it at any moment.
"This is the Body Enhancement Laboratory."
Bell gave a casual introduction and then prepared to enter the laboratory.
"Etc!"
Hermione shouted, causing Bell to stop in his tracks as he was about to take a step.
"Hey, why don't you turn on the light!"
That's what the Bloodline Fusion Laboratory was like before—pitch black, you couldn't see anything.
She didn't think much of it at the time. But now that she thinks about it, she could have asked Bell to turn on the light so she could have looked outside first.
If the scenes inside are too bloody or violent, then she absolutely refuses to go in!
"Lamp?"
Bell tilted his head in confusion. He didn't put a light bulb in here, did he?
It wasn't until Bell glanced at the dark doorway in front of him that he realized what Hermione was talking about.
"The reason we can't see anything right now is actually due to the effect of magic, not because the lights are off inside."
Bell explained.
He cast Illusion Spell, similar to an optical illusion, at the entrance to the laboratory. So, from the outside, one could not see anything inside the laboratory.
As for why this Curses wasn't cast on the door of the original Alchemy Laboratory?
Would Bell tell anyone that he actually started by applying Curses one by one from the innermost laboratory, but when he got to the outermost Alchemy Laboratory, he suddenly realized that his behavior was incredibly stupid and completely ineffective?
After all, if the enemy has already infiltrated this laboratory, then either Bell's side is already doomed, or the enemy's infiltration skills have reached a level of perfection, deceiving all of them.
In other words, when that time really comes, what significance will a little trick have?
