The Bored Immortal

Chapter 389 - The Lab Of Horror?

"Ughh…doctor it hurts…just get me off this thing…" A man who was strapped onto a hospital bed in the large lab below groaned as dark red veins popped up all over his face.

Based on his intense and twisted facial expressions, it seemed as if he was undergoing an excruciating pain. But what was even more shocking was that he was not the only one, but there were at least a dozen beds beside him with mostly men strapped tight to the beds, their limbs and body restrained as if to prevent them from getting off the bed accidentally or not.

Each bed was separated by a thick translucent sheet and also by a considerable distance.

"Don't be a cry baby and just deal with it, keke. This is nothing compared to the initial beta drugs. You have it easy, you little tit, keke," The old man with his head almost bald laughed in a creepy way, and based on the lab coat he was wearing, he seemed to be the doctor who was apparently handling whatever was going on here.

There were also heavily armored men standing around the lab and also three tall men wearing black sunglasses who were standing in the same position as statues with stoic expressions.

The doctor did not have a beard but had untidy stubbles all over his cheeks and black bags under his eyes. In his hands was a large tablet on which he was monitoring the conditions of the people lying on these beds while smiling, laughing, and mumbling to himself like a madman.

He was walking to and fro across these beds while some of the men were shaking and twisting their bodies uncontrollably as if fighting something inside their bodies while some of them were in an unconscious state, their faces deathly pale.

There was only a single female who seemed to be a young woman in her early twenties but had a shabby look, making it obvious that she was coming from a poor background. She was the only one who seemed normal but was unconscious.

As for the man lying on the farthest right, he seemed to be sleeping normally with his eyes closed, though his skin was paler than normal. However, he seemed unconscious as well.

Other than the doctor, there were few nurses assisting the doctor and running around here and there, administering certain drugs to the men on the beds.

"Doctor Veroz! This man is going into shock!" One of the nurses shouted, making Veroz, the old doctor, turn around with an annoyed look, "What the hell is wrong with that crybaby, now? Didn't I tell him to sit tight?"

"I-I don't know. I injected him with drugs to make his body calm down, but his body is not responding to them. Instead, the Rebirth drug seems to be eating him from the inside. Should we try to flush out the drug from his system?" The nurse asked nervously.

*PHA!*

Veroz slapped the nurse harshly, "What flush out the drug? Do you even have a medical degree or have any idea how precious a single drop of that drug is? Asking such stupid questions, hmph. His body has already absorbed the Rebirth drug. There is no going back. Now we just sit still and watch the drug work its magic. I have already seen this happen many times. He will be fine, keke," Veroz said with an excited glint in his eyes, not at all perturbed by seeing the man before him tussling against the restraints on the bed while his skin was turning a pale blue, his eyes bloodshot.

"ARRGHHHH!! PLEASEEE KILL ME!!" The man growled and shouted as his teeth suddenly extended into sharp fangs while his pupils began to change shape slightly.

His body was also changed in a strange way, his muscles protruding and contracting in an exaggerated way while dark red veins were popping up all over his body.

His cries were horrifying and frightening to the point even a hardened criminal would cut off his head just so that he wouldn't have to suffer in such pain.

But Veroz's expression didn't change, but in fact, he was keenly observing this man without being bothered by his shouts and cries. The nurses swallowed their saliva, wondering how much pain one must be in to shout like this, but still, they didn't dare to do anything that would annoy Dr. Veroz.

The last time somebody brave and foolish enough to do that disappeared forever.

"URGHHHHHAAA!!!" The man's howls were becoming even more shrill and fragile as his skin began to break down while his blood vessels were bursting, making him bleed through his seven orifices.

And suddenly, his body bloated like a balloon making the nurses gasp as they quickly jumped to the side while Veroz simply mumbled, "Oh shit…" Before crouching down casually.

*SPLAT!*

An unpleasant sound of flesh exploding echoed in the lab as the man who had his body bloated suddenly exploded into a bloody mess, his blood splattering all over the opaque curtains that were separating his bed from the others.

Taya and Umilia, who were silently watching from above, had their expressions twist in disgust, especially Taya, who briefly looked away, unable to stomach it. She had seen rats exploding but seeing a human explode like this made her stomach churn, though Umilia didn't seem fazed by sight. It was as if she had seen enough morbid and gory things in her life, though it was normal considering the time she spent in the Naraka Realm.

"Tsk, what a waste of that miracle drug. Haaa…well, science is all about learning from failed experiments," Veroz mumbled with a look of pity, thinking about the Rebirth drug that got wasted while wiping away a splotch of blood that was stuck on his cheek.

The nurses weren't surprised by this man's indifference. In fact, they had already seen this quite a few times, and thus they knew what was going to happen once they saw that man's body bloat up.

"Let's focus on a female subject this time. I have been testing on males too much, and it's boring me," Veroz said with a crooked smile as he walked over towards the young woman with a syringe in his hand and injected it into her, "Wake up, sweetie. You are the chosen one now, keke."

The drug he injected into her was just a simple one to wake her up, and he hadn't administered the Rebirth drug yet.

The girl's eyelashes fluttered as she quickly stirred awake. But the moment she saw Veroz's face, her eyes widened in horror, "NOOO!!!"
