The Bloodline System

Chapter 931: Failed Ploy

They had not expected him to return with the scientist as most of them thought it was a case of abduction so this scenario took them by surprise.

While they chased after Gustav, lockdown protocols were initiated once more.

However, before they could surround Gustav from all areas...

Zing~

He made use of the dimensional bracelet and disappeared once more.

”Damn it we lost him!” One of them voiced out after witnessing Gustav disappear in a flash of blue light.

”Why was the dimensional disruptor inactive?” Another one of them asked with a tone of annoyance.

Gustav who was the culprit was still being searched for all around meanwhile he had reappeared back in his room.

He proceeded to take off his containment suit as well as his MBO uniform before putting on his patient uniform.

He transformed back into his usual look.

ʼThereʼs still time,ʼ Gustav said internally after checking the time.

Luckily he didnʼt spend too much time outside the facility. He proceeded to activate the dimensional bracelet once more.

Zing!

Gustav reappeared underneath his sheets within the isolation room in the next instant.

He heaved out a sigh of relief after scanning the entire area and noticing that nothing was out of place.

The MBO officers here were looking for a person that didnʼt exist since Gustav had taken on the appearance of another person.

Since Scientist Vicʼs isolation room was on the other side, Gustav didnʼt have any issues.

The front of this isolation room was still guarded by the same number of MBO officers that were initially here.

The door was pushed open sometime later and the same scientists that took Gustavʼs blood earlier walked in.

ʼHere we go again...ʼ Gustav sighed internally as he sat up.

***************

The next day arrived and Gustav could be seen leaving the isolation room in his MBO uniform.

He was being escorted by a few MBO officers as he walked past the door.

The others that were still being kept here internally had dissatisfied thoughts but they couldnʼt say anything since Gustav was obviously favoured by the MBO.

”The scientists say they still donʼt understand how youʼre unaffected but we couldnʼt leave our brightest recruit here,” The MBO officer in orange uniform beside Gustav said with a respectful tone.

Despite being about three ranks higher than Gustav in the MBO he still spoke to Gustav with respect.

Gustav just nodded in response. He wasnʼt new to the ass kissing anyways. Others would try to suck up to him knowing he had a bright future within the MBO based on his performance so far.

He couldnʼt see any of them as truly genuine.

A private submarine was already waiting for Gustav at a part of the underwater structure. He already bid Sandra goodbye and some of the other scientists as well.

Gustav was still a hero to some of them here so they were glad he was being let out of isolation and wished him the very best.

They got to the submarine in a few and left the underwater base.

The orders of the MBO officers escorting Gustav was to bring him to the second base. The scientists here still couldnʼt find anything in Gustavʼs blood even after getting it multiple times.

He was not infected but also they couldnʼt find any special cell resisting the infection when they tried experimenting with it.

So it would forever be a mystery how Gustav managed to do all he did without getting infected.

This wasnʼt a new thing anyway since there were a lot of mysteries associated with Gustav.

The MBO was curious about him despite being a part of them but they couldnʼt mess with him mostly because of Miss Aimee.

While on the way back, Gustav kept going through his plans for dealing with Yung Jo. Yesterday he had found out a few things from Scientist Vic.

What he did after making use of Mental Manipulation was instruct Vic to recall memories of when Yung Jo gave him the tasks to perform.

Mental Manipulation was still a damaged bloodline so he couldnʼt force his way into Vicʼs head. This was the only way to get it done.

He was able to view Scientist Vicʼs memories as he recalled what had happened.

This was how Gustav realised the whole set-up was for him. Yung Jo planned to get him infected after finding out he was at this research centre.

A ploy which failed since Gustav had Toxin Immunity.

According to what he saw in Vicʼs memories, although Yung Jo had nothing to do with the creation of the ashy infection, he had done some experiments with it.

One of which included the fake resistant drug that could speed up the mutation.

The main thing Gustav figured out from Scientist Vicʼs memories was the fact that Miss Aimee wasnʼt infected by the ashy fog initially.

He was the one in charge of the examination Miss Aimee was supposed to undergo and he actually conducted it but the other person working with him had been given another assignment that he was unaware of by Yung Jo.

The memories hinted at Miss Aimee getting infected but by a different variant of the ashy infection which was most likely created by Yung Jo.

After the incident with Miss Aimee on that day Scientist Vic had found clues of the variant but he wasnʼt the one who did the job.

Gustav also figured out while Scientist Vic was under Yung Joʼs control from one of his memories. At that point, he really couldnʼt blame him for what he did.

At least Gustav had the face of the person that was most likely involved in Miss Aimeeʼs incident.

It was obvious that this person was working directly under Yung Jo and would have more information about what Yung Jo was up to which would aid his plans in eliminating him.

All he had to do was find the other scientist who was currently supposedly on a mission in Plankton City.

Gustav could not wait for all the formalities within the second base to be done with so he could get on with destroying Yung Jo.
