With a mischievous smile, Calista sat across from Sterling, looking down at thetter, who was miserably. curled up on the carpet, bound from head to toe.
“Calista… you <b>want </b>to kill me?” Sterling red at her. “Don’t bother wasting your energy. <b>A </b>few days ago, government officials <b>said </b>they were going to take me away for <b>research</b>. You didn’t know that, did you? Most people infected with the K Virus die within a month, but not me. I can survive! As long as I keep nourishing myself, I can live on. If you dare kill me, you’ll face the wrath of the government!”
Calista chuckled at his naivety. “In reality, I was the one who wanted to take you away for research. The government was just the front. They don’t care about you at all, just like they don’t believe that I’ll conquer the K Virus just by <b>acquiring </b>you.”
A chill ran down Sterling’s spine, and he nced at Calista with a fearful expression. “W–What are you nning to do to me?” he asked.
“What am I nning to do?” Calista asked, her legs crossed <b>as </b>she leaned back on the couch, a thoughtful expression on her face. “I was originally thinking of setting up a research center, and then you’d be my first human test subject. It would make it easier for me to study the K Virus.”
Upon hearing that Calista did not intend to kill him, Sterling breathed a sigh of relief, However, the very next moment. Calista’s words plunged him into <b>despair</b>.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
“Do you think being a test subject is better than being dead?” she asked.
Indeed, that was what Sterling thought. If the experiment was <b>sessful</b>, <i>I’d </i>still have a slim chance of survival, right?
Calistaughed wickedly, brutally shattering his hopes.
“Compared to the average patient, your greatest advantage is that you don’t experience pain, right? Not matter how well a person can bear pain, their subtle expressions <b>and </b>movements will reveal it. The K Virus is known to cause unbearable agony, yet I haven’t seen a trace of suffering in you.”
Calista exposed him, “No matter how well a person can bear pain, their subtle expressions and movements will reveal it. The K Virus is known to cause unbearable agony, yet haven’t seen a trace of suffering in you<b>.</b>”
This was also why she was able to discern that Kallum’s condition was progressively worsening. No matter how well Kallum could bear the pain, it was impossible for him to show no signs, unless he had lost his sense of pain.
In the quarantine area, no one provided Sterling with painkillers or anesthesia. Yet, he seemedpletely <b>fine</b>. There could only be one exnation–he wasn’t in pain at all.
Sterling’splexion subtly shifted. He was apprehensive about falling into Calista’s hands, fearing that Calista would deliberately torment him, causing him immense pain.
Calista didn’t mind his silence and continued speaking. “You’re not feeling pain now only because you’re numb to it. Why else do you think you’re vomiting blood every day? You have a unique constitution, and your pain receptors have been paralyzed by the K Virus. It’s true that you’ll live longer than most because many typical reactions, like fever and otherplications, won’t happen to you. But three to four months is your limit. You won’t make it past half a year.”

“That’s impossible!” Sterling reacted strongly, for he firmly believed that he was different from other. As realization dawned on him, he gnashed his teeth and <b>said</b>, “I get it now! You’re doing this on purpose deliberately spreading such rumors! So, after three or four months, when I’m dead, you can just tell the authorities that I died naturally, right? Dream on! Where’s mywyer? I haven’t been stripped of my human rights! Where’s mywyer?”
Calista chuckled softly. “At this point, you’ve been stripped of your human rights. Now, you only have two options: One is death, and the other is to serve as my human test subject:
There was joy in her <b>voice</b>. “Once you be a human test subject and enter the treatment phase, the virus‘ paralyzing effect on your nerves will lessen. You will soon experience the same pain as other patients. Because of your unique constitution, I will do my best to prolong your life for my research. Then, you will live each day wishing you were dead… Trust me, I will make your life a living hell.”
Her bone–chilling, eerie voice echoed throughout the room, making Sterling shudder.
He detected the resentment in Calista’s voice <b>and </b>was surprised to discover that Calista harbored such intense hatred toward him.
The
your worries.
Calista continued smiling. “When the timees, the pain caused by the virus is the least of
agony you experience during drug trials is worse than that. Every medicine injected into your body will react violently with the K Virus. Regardless of whether the virus <b>overpowers </b>the medicine, or the medicine suppresses the virus, you’ll experience the thrill of pain so intense it almost kills you… Have you ever experienced the sensation of pain so intense that it knocks you out, only to be awoken by the same excruciating pain, repeating over and over for three days, drenched in sweat? I’ll bind your limbs securely, stuff your mouth with cloth, and tie <b>you </b>to the bed. I’ll watch as you struggle for three days and nights, at the pain wakes you, as you scream, as thick blood seeps from your eyes… You’ll surely find that experience fascinating, won’t you? Staying alive in agony is better than being dead, isn’t it?”
For the first time in his life, Sterling felt his heart <b>sink</b>. <b>Calista’s </b>words dripped with bloodlust, though it might sound exaggerated to an ordinary person, he, as someone. infected with the K Virus and understood its terrifying nature, knew Calista wasn’t joking. The scenario she described could genuinely happen to
him.
“Why?” Sterling sprawled on the ground, his expression filled with sorrow and despair, his voice barely <b>a </b>whisper as he questioned, “I admit, I ruined your <b>ns </b>the moment I appeared, and I admit that I even tried to kill youter… But I gained nothing from you! Why… Why do you hate me so much? Why are <b>your </b>torturing me like this?”
