The Author's POV

Chapter 258

"Excellent!"

Joyously shouted Joseph as he stared at a small monitor before him. Extending from the monitor were multiple wires that attached themselves towards an individual. Subject 876.

"Who would've thought that patient that I had put the least hopes on would end up being the one that I have the most hope for."

Joseph was truly delighted.

Out of all the promising patients he had, 876 seemed to be the one displaying the most obvious signs of success.

At the moment, subject 876 was going through a virtual simulation. Inside of the virtual simulation, the 876 was put under multiple different trials. The trails although different were all things that would cause any sane man to feel fluctuations in their emotions. From killing civilians to committing terrorist acts, or dying in multiple different ways.

At the moment, both the MRI machine and Holter monitor were currently showing no unusual fluctuations. This meant that subject 876 was currently in the exact state Joseph was trying to achieve.

A state where the user held no emotions.

This was great news for Joseph. Especially since he had been pressed for time recently. With the higher-ups getting impatient, he knew that he needed to get results.

He had finally got something.

—Beeereeeeeep! —Beeereeeeeep!

"...Hu?"

Startling Joseph out of his thoughts was a rhythmical beeping sound coming from the holder monitor.

"What's going on?"

Rushing towards patient 876, Joseph looked at the small Holter monitor. The fluctuations were no longer constant but were now extremely erratic.

—Beeereeeeeeeeeep! —Beeereeeeeeeeeep!

With each passing second, the fluctuations became more and more erratic.

"Stop the simulation!"

Joseph turned around and shouted.

"Yes!"

Heeding his command, his assistant arrived before patient 876 and pressed on the side of the headset he was wearing. Slowly the helmet turned off.

—Beeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! —Beeereeeeeeeep! ! —Beeeeeeep! —Beeeeep!

Upon turning off the headset, the beeping sounds coming from the Holter monitor calmed down.

"Damn" Joseph cursed slightly. "How long was he inside of the simulation for?"

"Reporting. About 13 minutes and 45 seconds."

The assistant promptly replied.

"13 minutes and 45 seconds..." Joseph murmured to himself.

After a while, he eventually shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, well. 876 has only been here for a week. This result is understandable."

Even though 876 had only lasted for a little bit, Joseph wasn't disheartened. Given that 876 had only been with him for about a week and was already showing signs of being the one most compatible with the serum, Joseph knew that it was best not to rush things.

"Haaa...haaa..."

Staring at 876 who was breathing heavily on the table, Joseph rubbed his chin slightly as he pondered to himself, 'Hmm...I guess it wouldn't hurt to invest a little more in him.'

If he could nurture 876 properly, who'd care about the little money he'd lose off of investing in him.

Heck, by then he would be so rich in funds that he would only consider such a minuscule amount of money as spare change.

Convincing himself that this was the right choice, Joseph looked at his assistant.
