"But seriously, what Mr. Blair had done is really too ruthless. I guess you have no choice but to figure out a cure fast." said Sky.
"Well, you don't really need to worry about it, I had everything under my control. Even if I failed to generate a cure from this, I can still heal Blair with my own blood, while I had sent an order back to Kingdom to assist in finding ingredients needed in Shiya's prescription. I believe with their efficiency, they will be able to get things done faster than the expected time. "said Chris.
"Yeah, but I'm sure that you still remember that one day out there is like a month in Kapis right? Even if they manage to gather all the materials needed in less than a month, in Kapis, it will still be more than a year." said Sky.
"Yes, I am well aware of that, but I believe I will at least be able to get something out of these samples, so rest assured about this matter. And instead of this, there are a few more matters I am concerned about." said Chris.
"What is it?" Sky asked.
"First of all, who is the one that in charge of these parasites which is obviously an alien species. Tommy is only in charge of those parasitic plants that turned aggressive and attacked the contestants, Timmy is probably too stupid to do so while Temmy only works in accordance to commands but Augustine doesn't seem to know about the parasite. The only possible candidate is Tammy but he had been detected to have the parasites inside of him as well, so it's not him either and it can't be those two girls that were killed before the quarter-final. Which means by right, it can't be the Royal Guards, but then, I somehow felt that something is off but I can't figure out what is it." said Chris rather troubled.
"Me too, it feels like something is off but everything just seems to be in order." said Sky.
"The second issue is that... I believe you had noticed the similarities between this and that slime parasite incident in Null Dimension, right? Could this actually relate to Heavenly Realm again? Although it might be just your God of Misfortune trait that the same bad luck happened twice." said Chris, surprisingly in a serious tone.
"Ah... Do you really need to diss me so randomly?" Sky is rather speechless at Chris's diss.
"Anyway, I believe everyone is still busy out there, tracing out the infected people and blocking the way to the Ninth Divine Mountain, you might need to help them out a bit, I am alright on my own, and after you had gotten everything done, you may return to the hostel on your own, I am probably going to stay here for the rest of the day." said Chris.
"But..."
"Just go." said Chris in a resolved manner.
"Ah... Alright. Please take care of yourself, okay?" said Sky, Chris nodded.
Sky unwillingly left the laboratory room and joined the Alliance's soldiers with their operations...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later.
Sky, Junior, and C-760 are patrolling the town to ensure everything is under control while looking for the participants from the stamina test that escaped and ran away from the string parasites test.
"I am glad to have you here with us in the patrolling and inspection, but is it alright to leave Mr. Chris alone for the research on the cure for the parasites? He somewhat looks tired when I peeked on him earlier." said C-760.
"Well, he somehow chased me out of the laboratory, so I believe he has his own plan, or maybe he just doesn't like to be bothered like others when he is working on some serious things, I don't know. And I choose to trust him although I am indeed worried about him." said Sky.
"Mmm... Even Maria is back to the tournament stadium helping out the healers there to check out every single contestant for the string parasites. Despite the fact that Chris is really strong, but I somehow felt that something is not right." said Junior.
"Ah... You felt that too? Chris and I had thought about the exact same thing as you." said Sky, a bit concerned.
"Hmm? What is that supposed to mean?" C-760 asked, slightly confused.
"Actually, we don't know either. Something just feels a bit off, even with all of the Royal Guards are either dead and under captive." said Sky.
"You mean, it's something to do with the Royal Guards?" C-760 asked.
"Mmm... It's...."
"Raaahhh! Don't you dare get near of me! I will blast your head off with my guitar if you dare to touch me! You hear me? I am not sick!"
A fierce shouting suddenly interrupted the conversation between Sky and C-760, it's from a small diner at the end of the street. The three stared at each other before nodded and ran towards the direction of the diner...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Alliance quarter, laboratory.
Chris is now viewing a string parasite under a microscope after he dropped some of the giant cockroach body fluid on it. He found that with the influence of the cockroach body fluid, the string worms become calm and inert, but that's all, it doesn't seem to be causing any damage or defense against the string parasite. Then, he calmly took out the herbs mixture that Ben used to trigger worms and burn it in a clean incense burner, miraculously, the string parasite that coated by the cockroach body fluid remained calm and docile unlike those in the isolation container that squirmed aggressively trying to break through the container. Seeing this result, Chris nodded his head a bit before reaching his hand to the nearby rack in order to get an empty test tube, suddenly he felt an unlikeable presence that he is not very fond of from an area that is less than a kilometer from the laboratory.

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
