Due to the disappearance of several soldiers, everyone on this floor was plunged into anxiety, terror, and suspicion. Especially since the hospital's legend involved human experimentation—the greatest taboo in the Red Sea—the ordinary civilians grew even more tense.
This was not groundless panic. There was an overwhelming amount of evidence in the Red Sea suggesting that even the Three Polar Nations and the Seven Financial Groups might be involved in extremely serious human experimentation scandals. Atavism rates were a wonderful thing, allowing individuals who could never become practitioners of the Inner Force Realm in their lifetimes to cross that threshold. However, this achievement was built upon a mountain of corpses so thick it was hard to imagine. From start to finish, at least several million people had become sacrificial offerings to this technological breakthrough.
Even though heavy iron curtains blocked out these scandals, walking the night path often enough would eventually lead to encountering a ghost, not to mention the many scandals that had already been exposed. Although research into the atavism rate had yielded massive results, causing most human experimentation to be temporarily suspended, human desires would never truly stop. For one, atavism rates could not compare to the many quick-method Inner Force pills from the Ancient Era. Secondly, the most legendary Golden Bone Pill had still not been successfully developed.
