Chapter 649 Eternal Love
The cold white light in the laboratory poured out like mercury, soaking every inch of the space into a cold and clear atmosphere.
The air was filled with the sharp smell of disinfectant, mixed with the low hum of the instruments running.
A row of silver incubators against the wall flashed with a pale blue indicator light.
Like countless cold eyes, they watched everything inside.
Jiang Mo, wearing a spotless white lab coat, stood in front of the central laboratory table.
Opposite them stood Chen Ziqi and Fan Qianqian.
The two people's eyes were fixed intently on the sterile box in front of them.
The antiviral solution inside had a strange light green hue.
Jiang Mo's voice was steady, with the caution of a researcher: "President Chen, this is the virus that Ms. Fan mentioned to you before—'Zhongqing'."
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze behind the lenses calm and unwavering. "This virus perfectly binds to the pheromone markers extracted from Ms. Fan's body. Once injected, the target individual's brain reward circuitry will be reshaped in a targeted manner. The secreted dopamine and oxytocin will only form a deep connection with Ms. Fan's pheromones."
He paused, then added, "In other words, the recipient will develop an uncontrollable, exclusive obsession with Ms. Fan. Moreover, after several rounds of improvements, its impact on other functions of the nervous system has been minimized, with almost no significant toxic side effects."
Chen Ziqi, dressed in an exquisitely tailored black suit, leaned lazily against the lab bench.
A faint smile played on his lips as he casually twirled his fingers and asked, "How long will the effects of this virus last?"
Jiang Mo replied, "After the virus enters the body of the injected person, it will establish a symbiotic latency in the host's central nervous system and continuously replicate and express specific proteins. Theoretically, as long as the host's vital signs exist, its effect is permanent."
"permanent?"
Chen Ziqi raised an eyebrow, his tone light but carrying pressure, "You mean, as long as it's injected into Gu Sili's body, he will love Miss Fan forever and wholeheartedly?"
Jiang Mo adjusted his glasses and nodded, saying, "Theoretically, that's correct. Current experiments using rhesus monkey social behavior models show highly consistent results, pointing to permanent behavioral changes."
Chen Ziqi chuckled softly, the sound echoing in the cold air with an indescribable chill: "So, what about human experimentation?"
Jiang Mo was silent for a very brief moment, then lowered his voice slightly: "Due to the absolute confidentiality requirements of the project, human clinical trials have not yet been conducted."
"Oh?"
Chen Ziqi drawled out the last syllable, his gaze fixed on him with a half-smile, "In other words, you still can't guarantee the long-term, ultimate results."
Jiang Mo felt an invisible pressure gripping his heart.
He maintained a facade of composure: "Mr. Chen, the nature of scientific exploration is such that there is no guarantee of 100% certainty."
Fan Qianqian, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain herself.
She stepped forward, her fingernails almost touching the vial of medicine: "Chen Ziqi, what are you hesitating about? The animal experiments were all successful, weren't they? Just give me the medicine!"
Chen Ziqi didn't look at her; his deep gaze remained fixed on Jiang Mo's face.
Seeing Jiang Mo tense up slightly, he suddenly smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Dr. Jiang, how about this? Since we can't guarantee a permanent effect and need further verification, why don't you get the injection yourself?"
"..."
The air suddenly became stagnant.
Jiang Mo looked up and met Chen Ziqi's unfathomable eyes.
There were no jokes in that.
There is only one kind of coldness that sees through everything and controls everything.
Inject yourself?
this means……
Will he destroy his own will and become a puppet who grovels and begs for love from Fan Qianqian?
A chill ran up his spine, freezing Jiang Mo's limbs and bones.
Although he had feelings for Fan Qianqian, he didn't like her to this extent.
"I will compensate you, enough for you to squander for the rest of your life."
Chen Ziqi's voice was like a devil's whisper, "Besides, I remember, many pioneering scientists who went down in history ultimately chose to verify their results on themselves, didn't they? Galileo, Hardy... What, Dr. Jiang, don't you have that confidence in the work you've poured your heart and soul into? Moreover, the lab will continue to provide funding to help you research the antidote for this virus, so you still have a way out."
"I……"
The light from the laboratory ceiling lamp fell on Jiang Mo's face, highlighting the bloodless color of his lips.
The man stared intently at the tube of light green medicine.
Floating within him is a demon that could destroy all his reason and dignity.
Countless images flashed through my mind.
He devoted himself to research, neglecting sleep and meals.
Those virus strains dividing under a microscope.
Aspirations for the pinnacle of science...
And then there's Chen Ziqi's unquestionable gaze and Fan Qianqian's scrutinizing look.
A few seconds later, Jiang Mo reached out his right hand and picked up a disposable sterile syringe from the side.
He tore open the packaging, and the needle tip gleamed coldly under the light.
Next, the man skillfully tapped open the rubber stopper of the medicine bottle, inserted the needle, and slowly withdrew it.
A light green liquid gradually filled the transparent syringe.
Like a sinister venomous snake, it climbs up the pipe.
Chen Ziqi and Fan Qianqian exchanged a glance, but said nothing, continuing to watch Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo's eyelashes drooped, concealing any emotions that might be revealed.
Only her tightly pursed lips and slightly heaving chest betrayed the turbulent emotions raging within her.
Finally, the syringe was full.
Under the watchful eyes of Chen Ziqi and Fan Qianqian, Jiang Mo aimed the needle at the deltoid muscle of his left arm.
He closed his eyes before the cool sensation from the disinfectant swab had faded.
A soft, dull "poof" sound.
The needle pierces the skin and is inserted into the muscle.
Jiang Mo pushed the piston firmly with his thumb.
He slowly and thoroughly injected that life-changing liquid into his body.
The whole process was so fast that it only took a few breaths.
"Yes. Dr. Jiang's spirit of contributing to science is commendable."
Chen Ziqi nodded in satisfaction, his smile deepening.
Fan Qianqian also curiously leaned closer, watching Jiang Mo pull out the needle and press the tiny needle hole with a cotton swab.
A glint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and her tone carried a hint of joy: "That's good. With you providing double protection, I feel much more at ease. And I'm even more confident about dealing with Gu Sili."
Jiang Mo didn't speak, but just looked down at the empty syringe.
The faint trace of green that remained inside burned his vision.
He could feel the cold liquid flowing down his bloodstream.
He knew even more that some unknown change was slowly unfolding.
At this moment, a subordinate in black walked in silently and whispered a few words in Chen Ziqi's ear.
Chen Ziqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he waved his hand: "Take Dr. Jiang down to rest and observe him closely."
The subordinate responded and gestured for Jiang Mo to proceed.
Jiang Mo followed silently, his steps slightly unsteady.
Soon, the heavy soundproof door of the laboratory closed again.
Chen Ziqi turned to Fan Qianqian, his voice low and clear: "The car accident happened as planned. Gu Sili has just been taken to the hospital, and his most trusted subordinate is already on the plane back to China with the antidote for 'Sleeping Beauty'. You can make your move now."
"it is good."
Fan Qianqian looked at the test tubes filled with the "Zhongqing" virus, her eyes flashing with a crazy light: Gu Sili, you are finally mine.
