Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 100: The Abnormal Anna

Although the lights in the room were turned on for a very brief moment, it did not escape Peter’s notice. Under what circumstances would a person turn on the lights and then quickly turn them off? This was not difficult to explain. The person was doing something unspeakable, afraid of being noticed by the people outside. However, they also needed a light source. Perhaps a fleeting light was enough to do many things.

Why did Peter know about this method? It was because when he was young, his father used this method to save electricity. Thus, the points their family used on the lights each month were the lowest in the nearby neighborhood.

As for Anna, she must have used this method in her dormitory not to save electricity, but for another reason.

More than an hour later, light appeared in Anna’s room again. As usual, it was turned on before quickly being turned off.

Peter had planned to go directly to Anna’s dormitory and ask her what in the world she was doing. However, after calming down and thinking about it, he felt it best to continue observing her. He observed her until the sky began to brighten, but there were no more lights flashing in the window under Peter’s surveillance.

When figures appeared on the streets of the dormitory area, Peter knew it was time for breakfast. It wasn’t long before he saw Anna through the surveillance cameras. She was wearing a black tracksuit and a hat that hid half of her appearance.

Peter didn’t leave the dormitory after seeing Anna appear on the surveillance cameras. Instead, he continued to observe her through the surveillance cameras. This was slightly smarter than chasing after Anna and interrogating her in vain.

However, Peter was surprised that Anna was heading toward the laboratory. Didn’t she want to eat breakfast first? After a night of surveillance, he knew that Anna must have also not slept all night. She had gone out so early just to go to the laboratory.

“Could she be looking for Professor Eugene? Why would she be looking for him?”

Peter’s doubts were not unreasonable. This was because Professor Eugene had the largest reaction after Anna left. He was also the person who hated Anna the most in the Genetics College.

Professor Eugene hated Anna’s methods. It was also possible that he hated everyone who betrayed Peter because he was the soul slave of the queen insect.

More than ten minutes later, Anna walked into the laboratory building of the Genetics College. Peter felt the need to check on her again. After all, Anna had been acting out of character since returning to the Genetics College.

He looked at Callie, who was still asleep on the large bed. He tried his best to minimize the sound of the door opening, afraid that he would wake her up. After leaving the dormitory area, he went straight to the laboratory.

On the way, Peter received a message from Professor Eugene. Professor Eugene did not deliberately hide his dislike for Anna and said his thoughts very directly.

[Master, the detestable Anna came to find me just now and asked me to give her a strengthening treatment potion. I didn’t agree to it, and she didn’t continue to pester me. Then, she simply left. I don’t know if she will look for you. I also smelled a very strange smell on Anna just now. I can’t describe what it was, but it felt very strange.]

After Peter read the message from Professor Eugene, he stopped and canceled his idea of going to the laboratory. Instead, he stood still and pondered.

After observing Anna the night before, as well as Anna’s unusual behavior today, he was sure that she was hiding a huge secret. However, she was either unwilling to tell him or was unable to.

It was a strange move in itself that Anna had chosen to join General David’s camp. Peter had never understood that. For a talented Genetic Warrior like Anna, even Peter would do his best to help her become a Genetic God of War, let alone the Genetics College.

However, after Anna advanced to the level of the Genetic God of War extremely quickly, Peter finally understood what Anna wanted. This was because it would take a long time for the Genetic College to nurture a Genetic God of War.

Meanwhile, Anna wanted a shortcut to increase her speed, like the God of War Peter.

This was something Peter couldn’t give her. However, coincidentally, it was something that General David could do. Although General David had used a very disgusting method, he had indeed promoted Anna to a Genetic God of War.

Peter stood still and thought about it. In the end, he decided to go to the laboratory to find Professor Eugene first. After all, he had only just received a message from Professor Eugene. There were many details that his words could not express.

In fact, Peter had another reason to look for Professor Eugene. This was a solution that he had just thought of that could quickly resolve Anna’s problem.

Soon, Peter arrived at the laboratory building and entered it to find Professor Eugene, who was in his office.

“When Anna came to find you just now, what strange things did you discover? For example, the strange smell that you just told me about.”

Professor Eugene immediately operated the device in front of him and played the video of Anna coming to his office.

Peter kept his eyes on the virtual video that appeared in front of him. He wanted to see Anna’s obscured face. This was the most curious thing he had heard so far.

Anna was famous for her beauty in the Genetics College. Be it in the Genetics College or in the Federal Building, Anna would never cover her face with a hat.

The image on the screen began to fast forward. This was Professor Eugene controlling the device to fast forward until the moment Anna entered the office. Then, the playback speed returned to normal. Then, Professor Eugene controlled the device in his hand and paused the video immediately when Peter called for him to stop.

In the video, Anna had already entered Professor Eugene’s office. From the angle of the surveillance cameras, he could see her face. She was wearing a knitted item that was similar to a neck scarf. It could be worn on her head as a hat and wrapped around her neck.

In the video, Anna used it to cover her face below her eyes, making it impossible to see what was happening behind the knitted item.

At this moment, Peter asked Professor Eugene.

“Did the strange smell you mentioned come from Anna’s body?”

Professor Eugene nodded.

“Yes, Master. I can say with certainty that the strange smell came from Anna after she entered the office.”

Peter guessed that something bad had happened to Anna’s body, or that her skin had mutated. Otherwise, Anna would not be like this.

The video continued to play slowly. Peter stared at the video, not missing a single detail, until he saw a detail that shocked him.

While Anna was talking to Professor Eugene, she accidentally raised her arm. The skin on the back of the arm had festered.

“Stop! Stop the video.”

Professor Eugene had been holding the control device in his hand all this time, so he quickly paused the video.

“I’ve found the reason for the strange smell. Anna’s skin is festering.”

Peter’s words shocked Professor Eugene, who was sitting beside him.
