Chapter 182

‘Huh? What does she mean?‘ Chester thought.

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? No one can stay in this world forever. Death is just a normal part of life.” Chester found Quinlyn a bit naive at times.

Quinlyn didn’t argue. Instead, she quietly asked, “Do you know what a planarian is?”

‘What the hell is that?‘ Chester thought, shaking his head.

Quinlyn picked up a stick and drew a shape on the ground. “It’s a type of worm with incredibly powerful regenerative cells. No matter if you cut off its head, its tail, or even its body, it will keep regenerating and coming back to life.”

Chester instinctively glanced at Quinlyn’s fingers, recalling how, in the lab, she could calmly handle all sorts of hazardous liquids and gases. While other researchers watched in awe, she would create groundbreaking discoveries.

And now, Quinlyn was using the stick to slice the worm into multiple pieces, then put them back together again.

“Holy crap, you’re not seriously-” Chester whipped his head toward Quinlyn, sucking in a sharp breath.

Quinlyn remained eerily calm. That was what felt truly unsettling.

“Quinlyn, calm down. Do you even realize how insane this is?” Chester stammered, nearly choking on his own spit. “Didn’t you already submit all the lab reports?”

Quinlyn pressed her lips together. “I kept a copy.”

“What?” Chester was stunned.

“Stem cell engineering,” Quinlyn said.

Chester swallowed hard, but his throat still felt dry.

Even if others got their hands on the research reports, they probably wouldn’t understand them, but Quinlyn could actually make it work.

Chester felt like nothing he said would get through to her, so he tried a different approach. “Did you tell Bennett about this?”

Quinlyn shook her head.

Chester exhaled in relief until she continued, “I talked to Curtis about applying for a national lab, but he rejected me.”
