So, What Should Be Done?

"Ugh! Ugh!"

Outside Bell's laboratory, Hermione was leaning against the wall with one hand to keep herself from falling to the ground, while she S.P.E.W. incessantly, clutching her stomach with the other hand.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful, regretting that she hadn't controlled her curiosity and had actually suggested visiting Bell's damned laboratory.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

The thought of the laboratory reminded Hermione of the scene she had witnessed in the Body Enhancement Laboratory, and she couldn't help but vomit again.

That wasn't a laboratory; it was a slaughterhouse! It was hell!

The layout of that laboratory was almost identical to the previous Bloodline Fusion Laboratory. The only difference was that what was soaking in the solution was no longer the torso of Magical Animals, but human bodies!

Arms, thighs, internal organs, and even a brain! Moreover, although she only glanced at it from the doorway before fleeing, Hermione strongly suspected that, just like the previous Bloodline Fusion Laboratory, there must be something even more terrifying deep inside this Body Enhancement Laboratory!

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Hermione tried to straighten up little by little.

She had never vomited like this before. Even during her trip to Mars, she hadn't felt too bad because of the severe dizziness. At least not like now!

"Hermione, are you alright? Would you like Potions?"

He gently patted Hermione's back, trying to soothe her as Bell asked with concern.

"Get away! Don't touch me!"

Hermione forcefully pushed Bell's hand away, staggered forward two steps, and distanced herself from Bell.

Looking at Bell's innocent-looking face, Hermione had never felt that he was so unfamiliar and so repulsive.

"How... how could you... do such a thing?! Don't tell me those were clones of you too!"

Hermione questioned sharply.

"No."

Putting aside the question of whether it's possible to successfully cultivate adult humans, or even adult wizards, even if it were possible, Bell wouldn't do it.

Because the time and cost required for cultivation are too high, it is completely not worth the effort.

"But Hermione, you must understand that in this world, not everyone deserves to be called a human being. And not everyone deserves to live."

The experimental materials Bell used were all "volunteers" recruited from various dark corners of London over the years.

Recently, due to the progress of the experiment, Bell also recruited several wizards from Knockturn Alley as "volunteers" to eliminate the possible bias caused by the different physical conditions of wizards and Muggle.

After all, it concerns the lives of himself, his sister, and his family, so no amount of caution is too much.

"How could you think like that? And what gives you the right to judge whether other people deserve to live?!"

Hermione backed away step by step.

She felt that the Bell in front of her must be fake! Her Bell shouldn't be like this, and it couldn't possibly be like this!

"I am indeed not qualified to judge whether those people deserve to live or die. But unfortunately, those who are qualified to judge are all dead."

Bell looked calmly at Hermione and said softly.

"You... you..."

Hermione was so angry that she couldn't even speak.

She hadn't expected that, even now, Bell would still be so stubborn.

Why! Why can't Bell just back down?!

Even lying to her would be fine!

If Bell lies to her that he will no longer conduct those horrific experiments and will no longer hurt anyone, then she can deceive herself and pretend that everything she has seen before never existed!

So why not lie to her?!

"Side-Along Apparition!"

With a powerful wave of her Wand, Hermione vanished from the spot.

The next moment, she appeared at the entrance of the suitcase and ran out crying.

"Gege, are you really sure it's okay to just let Hermione go like this?"

"Shanna asked."

At this moment, the little girl's face was also pale, and she was gripping her Gege's arm tightly with one hand to barely maintain her balance.

Clearly, everything she had seen before had a huge impact on her.

"It's alright, let her go."

Bell said calmly.

However, Shanna, who knew her Gege well, could hear a deep-seated sadness in Gege voice.

This made the little girl even more dissatisfied with Hermione.

"Gege, are there any other laboratories inside?"

Shanna tried to distract her Gege by asking a question.

Earlier, because Hermione had suddenly run out, in order to prevent her from being harmed by the traps set up in the laboratory, her Gege took her with him and followed Hermione out.

"Have."

He reached out and rubbed Shanna's head. Looking at his sister's pale face, Bell felt both regret and relief.

He regretted not being firmer and refusing Shanna's request to visit the lab. It was clearly too early for the young girl.

What's gratifying is that Shanna's performance was truly outstanding.

It's worth noting that when Bell first started his experiments, he vomited for a whole week before he could barely continue.

Even now, he still feels lingering fear when he thinks about that nightmarish week.

"Then let's go take another look..."

"That is a laboratory that has not yet been put into use— the Soul Laboratory."

As you know, my Gege hasn't done any research on the soul yet, so although we prepared a laboratory, it's practically empty, so there's not much to see.

Interrupting Shanna's suggestion, Bell briefly explained the purpose of the last laboratory.

In that Soul Laboratory, there is currently only one thing: the soul.

Adhering to the principle of making the best use of resources, Bell managed to collect the souls of the deceased test subjects and temporarily store them in the Soul Laboratory for later use.

Even in his original plan, he had not intended to take Shanna and Hermione on a tour of the laboratory.

Not to mention, he's feeling down right now and just wants to find a quiet place to sit and space out for a while.

Shanna glanced at her Gege, and, knowing Gege intimately, noticed the word "almost" Gege used.

But as a considerate and good younger sister, since her Gege didn't want her to visit the laboratory, she wouldn't make a fuss anymore.

So Shanna simply nodded and didn't bring up the matter of visiting the laboratory again.

"Gege, I'm hungry! Let's go eat!"

Shaking her Gege's arm, Shanna hoped to use the most effective way she could think of to help Gege get rid of his depressed mood.

Perhaps she could secretly add a little Felix Felicis to the food later.
