Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1167 Love Bug

As night fell, Nicole stole away into the science academy yet again. The key to unlocking the secret room should be somewhere in Old Mr. Yael's office. So, Nicole seized the chance when the night guard was sleepy and slinked to that b*stard's office with that thought in mind. She climbed into Logan's office through the window. Since it was pitch black inside, she used her phone as a flashlight and lit up her path, allowing her to see better. Then, she began to search for the key. She fumbled around the entire office and found a stack of documents in the small drawer on the right.

Initially, Nicole didn't care about these documents. Yet, she froze when she caught sight of the name 'Gina Feuer' written on one of them. Gina Feuer? I did learn from Natasha that Gina has connections with the science academy. Although I didn't find anything too suspicious while I was investigating her, I had an inkling she had tried something. Still, I didn't expect to find Gina's letter in Old Mr. Yael's office this time.

Nicole took the letter, carefully opened it, and read it. She swiftly browsed through the content and discovered that they were all transactions involving Gina and the science academy. When Nicole arrived at the end of the letter, she couldn't help but feel amused. Hah, the nerve of this greedy woman. This rat dares to view the medical base as her personal property! She even proposed to register the medical base under the science academy's name. Nicole couldn't restrain from laughing out loud as she read the letter. Gina certainly did a splendid job. As Master White's student, Gina naturally knows well that Master White and Old Mr. Yael are sworn enemies. Yet, not only does she not keep a distance from Old Mr. Yael to avoid arousing suspicion, but she also had the gall to offer the medical base as an exchange. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Nicole's blood pressure continued to rise as she read the letter. After that, she closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and quickly stuffed the letter back into its envelope. I came here tonight to find the key to that secret room in the basement, not for this letter. Thus, Nicole swiftly restored the envelope to its

original state before she continued fumbling around for the key.

After quite a while, she finally found a key under a drawer. Judging by how this key is firmly attached underneath the drawer, this all the more indicates it definitely holds great importance. She stared at the key, the key that held all her hopes, wondering if this was the key to the securely locked room in the basement. Nevertheless, she didn't exactly find multitudes of keys in this stupid office. So, she could only try her best to quell her expectations as she pocketed the key and went out through the same window she climbed in. After she made her way to the basement and opened the entrance, she immediately arrived at the securely locked door. Then, it was with bated breath that she inserted the key, which she found in Logan's office, into the keyhole. The instant she heard the sound of a click, she was thrilled. Oh my God! It's unlocked! So, this really is the key to this door!

Nicole cautiously opened the door and poked her head inside, observing the situation. Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything as it was pitch black inside and she had no night vision goggles. Moreover, she could feel that the temperature of this room was chilly as soon as she stepped in. She instinctively stroked her arms in order to warm herself and continued her journey into the unknown. There were lights, which gave off a dark green glow, in the room. As the lights weren't particularly bright, her range of vision was rather limited. Still, it was enough that she could still take in the view of the whole room.

After that, Nicole mustered her courage and ventured further into the dimly lit room. The further she walked in, the more she felt overwhelmed by the coldness and dampness in the air. Since she was only wearing a thin shirt, she could feel a gush of chill as soon as she entered. It didn't matter that it was long-sleeved as it could barely stave off the cold away from her person. However, she came here with a mission, so she tried her best to ignore her body's protests and carefully scanned the room. Sure enough, she saw that the entire room was full of numerous bugs being cultivated in glass jars. Some bugs were even directly soaked in liquid, creating a scene that was straight out of a horror sci-fi movie. There were labels clearly stating the origins and uses of various voodoo bugs on all the glass jars.

Nicole could barely believe her eyes, for never once did it cross her mind that voodoo bugs could reproduce through such methods. She forced herself to toss the shock to the back of her mind as she suddenly recalled something. It's no wonder Ryan was described as a once-in-a-century genius. I have to admit that he is indeed a genius in cultivating voodoo bugs. And as far as I know, these voodoo bugs were only recorded in ancient books. Yet, Ryan could cultivate them and ensure their survival through those ancient texts. This alone is enough to prove his ability in this particular field, no matter how horrifying his skills are.

She shook her head of those thoughts as she began taking a look at each of the glass jars, wanting to find out the voodoo that likely infected Colton. Unfortunately, she still couldn't find a match even after looking around. Just when frustration was about to rear its ugly head, she suddenly spotted a small glass jar in a corner with a label written 'Love Bug' on it.
