    I looked down at Steven while he nced up at me.


    I understood what he was trying to do—he was trying to use Sarah to go against Andy. But this was a risky bet.


    Perhaps it might just be a gamble for Andy, after all.


    Regardless of its sess or otherwise, it was all a risky bet.


    I nervously gripped Steven''s wheelchair handles. After a long pause, I said, "Steven..."


    He patted my hand to reassure me.


    Andy''s men brought us to theboratory. They also brought Sarah''s clone subject along. She remained indifferent with lifeless eyes.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    She looked a lot like me. In fact, she was probably the one who looked the most simr to me among all the clone subjects.


    The truth was, clone subjects didn''t all develop exactly the same. They would be affected by other factors, like the environment.


    Sarah''s clone subject had unusually fair skin as she grew up in Genome Society''sboratory. Her face was clean and devoid of any spots or blemishes.


    I carefully studied her, yet she never once nced at me. It was as if she was resigned to her fate of death.


    My gazended on her wrist-her only blemish was a scar. It meant that she had once struggled to kill herself before this.


    I stared at her for the longest time.


    She seemed to let out a relieved sigh the moment Steven made her lie on the operation table. At thest moment, she looked at me with an indescribable look.


    I quietly watched her, feeling a mix of emotions deep down.


    Clone subjects seemed to be born at the mercy of others asboratory white mice.


    Andy stood at a high vantage point, looking down at everything happening in theb capsule. He couldn''t tell what Steven was doing from the outside. Steven only ced Sarah''s body beside the clone subject, using brainwave stimtion and other techniques to operate. Steven was aware that Andy wouldn''t grasp the intricacies of it all even if he was watching everything.


    The so-called reincarnation project sounded like pseudoscience, theology, or even a scam. But often, whenever something close to theology was sessfully proven, it would shock the whole world, bringing immense profit as well as a whirlwind of risks and controversies. I knew that this entire experiment was being recorded. It was also likely that Andy had allowed the shareholders and backers to watch the livestream.


    I nced over to the ss wall of theboratory, realizing that it was probably packed with people on the other side.


    Andy wouldn''t pass up the chance to make a name for himself—and Steven was fully aware of it.


    He wanted to let Andy have the spotlight so that everyone would know that the reincarnation project was real. He also wanted them to know that he was the only one with the experiment data, possessing the key to immense wealth.


    Joel leaned against the corner wall, watching Steven. He remained silent for the longest time before saying, "You should think it through."


    He was asking Steven to reconsider. As soon as those from the outside believed in the existence of the reincarnation project, his worth would reach an all-time high, and everyone would be after him.


    Steven said nothing as he focused on studying the experiment data. He quickly pressed the switch on the control panel once it hit a certain peak.


    After some time, the clone subject gradually lost her vital signs. Her ECG monitor red sharply for about three seconds before her heart started beating again.


    Her body was in a near-death state when her heart stopped beating in those three seconds.


    Just like someone who died of sudden death or had suffered a severe brain injury before going into aa-both could trigger the mechanism for reincarnation.
