Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

In that instant, Wraith thought of countless ways to escape, his feet slick as if ready to bolt. Unfortunately, caught in Tina's grasp, he had no chance to flee. "You knew to blow up my lab, didn't you? Have you been too comfortable these days?" Tina griped, holding Wraith by the shoulder and smacking his head.

Wraith glared at Tina and retorted, "Spectre! It was all for the sake of experimentation!"

"Losing your temper, are you?" Tina raised her hand to strike again.

A great man can bend and stretch! Wraith raised his hands to his ears, shouting, "Okay, I was wrong!" Tina then stopped.

Natalie chuckled nearby, "You're Wraith, right?" Annoyed, Wraith looked at her, "Yes, and who are you? Have we met...?" He found Natalie somehow familiar, and upon closer inspection, his eyes widened, "It's you! You're Rebecca!" Tina was taken aback, not expecting Wraith to know her own mother. Natalie, still smiling, walked up to Wraith and gently touched his shoulder, "Still so rude. Don't you know to greet your master?"

At her words, Wraith suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, sending him staggering. Tina was even more surprised. When had her own mother become Wraith's master? But Wraith, ever adaptable, wailed, "Master, master! I was wrong!" "You were wrong? Stealing my research reports, taking lab secrets, can a simple apology make up for that?" Natalie glared harshly at Wraith, her grip tightening.

Wraith, half-collapsed, had no strength to resist, completely at Natalie's mercy like a chick ready for slaughter. "Mom, how did he become your disciple?" Tina asked with interest.

Wraith, still howling, was shocked, "Mom? She's your mother! No wonder I couldn't just beat you!"

Natalie snorted with laughter, "He's very talented. We met by chance during a mission, and with my guidance, he was able to develop many sophisticated theories. It's just that this kid has impure motives, always thinking of crooked paths!" "No wonder. I was wondering where he got all his skills from, some ideas always matching mine. It turns out it was your guidance," Tina remarked, enjoying the scene, with no intention to intervene.

Desperate, Wraith pleaded, "Tina, I have something to tell you, can your mom... my dear master, let go of me?" Only then did Tina slowly speak, "Mom, let him go. I still have tasks for him."

Natalie finally released him, having no real intention to harm him. Wraith stood up, rubbing his shoulder, "Now I see why this lab looked so familiar, and why I couldn't beat you. Turns out you two are mother and daughter; I've truly fallen into your hands this lifetime!"

Had he not met Natalie here, Wraith might never have remembered that before becoming Wraith, he had interned in such a lab. Back then, Natalie, known as Rebecca, was conducting her research while serving as a team captain at X Bureau. She had appreciated Wraith's talent and had given him a few pointers.

Little did he know, this highly talented kid would steal her lab secrets and run away! Wraith also hadn't expected that, years later, he would encounter the daughter of the plague god, the little plague god!

"How's the task I gave you?" Tina inquired. Wraith caught his breath, "Why don't you ask your mom? It's about the stuff she used to research."

Wraith was interested in Tina's potion because he had previously encountered it in Natalie's laboratory and had been unable to unlock its secrets at that time. The trio entered another laboratory, a room specifically designated for Wraith to study the potion. He was smart to keep the potion separate from other experiments to prevent any accidents.

"Our previous research direction was indeed effective, but now it seems this thing has a mind of its own. Every time we make a little progress, it changes direction. It continuously devours the original cells and generates new ones, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, never exhausting-a very peculiar phenomenon," Wraith explained.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Tina and Natalie squatted in front of the potion's culture, observing the phenomenon Wraith described. Tina had originally thought it merely had healing effects, but now it seemed that these were merely a precursor to the cells' rebirth, more akin to a self-healing process.

Natalie frowned. "This thing really does surprise me every time."

Previously, Natalie had discovered the potion's healing effects, which were already quite strange, and now this new reaction emerged. "What kind of virus is GTO researching that it reacts like this?" Tina wondered deeply.

Every poison or medicine has two sides: it can save or kill, depending on the intent of the user and the dosage. Some poisons, when mixed in the right proportions, become curative medicines. Conversely, some medicines can become deadly poisons with the addition of certain elements!

But the series of reactions like healing, self-healing, regeneration, and extension that this potion exhibited was unprecedented. "GTO's ambitions might be deeper than we imagined," Natalie said with a furrowed brow. Tina shared the same thought. Perhaps creating a virus akin to a biochemical weapon was not GTO's ultimate goal. What Five Poisons wanted was even more shocking!

Tina took the latest experimental report from Wraith's hands, looking over the data and the timing and characteristics of each cellular extension. A new idea suddenly popped into her mind. "What if we stop its cell regeneration? Will it produce other reactions?"

Wraith was taken aback. "What if the potion loses its activity and becomes stagnant water?"

Losing its activity meant the potion would lose its value, negating the need for further research. This would be a devastating blow for Wraith, who was keen to decode the potion.

Natalie, however, shook her head. "No, and if the potion loses its activity, it just proves that it has a natural enemy, which is no different from having an antidote."

Wraith scratched his head. "You two really dare to think and act. But how can we research how the potion was formed then?"

"With an antidote, won't researching the poison be possible?" Tina looked at Wraith with a puzzled face.

Natalie agreed. This was like having the answer right in front of them; how could they not figure out the problem?

Wraith was speechless. Even if there was only one answer, there could be countless possible problems, right? He was about to retort, but seeing the mother and daughter looking at him as if he were foolish, he swallowed his words. Fine, a pair of monsters. He would just stay silent then!

Tina and Natalie spent nearly a day in the laboratory with Wraith, finally determining the next direction for the potion's research. Although Wraith verbally resisted, his actions were compliant!

Tina felt a premonition that the day the truth would be unveiled was not far off.
