Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 351: It’s Not Really Going to Happen Twice, Is It? ”...”

Lucas Reeve guided his powerful Spiritual Power to calm Rosmontis down, while everyone’s gazes converged on the knight on the field, who didn’t look very old.

”The same experiment as the Loken Water Tank...”

Lucas Reeve hadn’t expected to encounter a product of the Loken Water Tank here. He remembered having already destroyed the Loken Water Tank, hadn’t he? Not only destroyed, but all the servers and computers inside had been wrecked, and almost all the data was completely wiped. Why would Kazimierz have a product of this experiment?

However, Lucas Reeve didn’t dwell on it too much.

After all, the Loken Water Tank had existed for a long time. He had only destroyed it in the last two years. No one could guarantee that the Loken Water Tank didn’t have other partners besides Rhine Lab’s Structural Section. Moreover, Kazimierz and Columbia are extremely close, so it wasn’t strange for the various powers to have some technological exchanges.

This kind of depraved human experimentation...

Because Lucas Reeve had witnessed the tragedy of the Loken Water Tank firsthand, he knew all too well how cruel this experiment was. Aside from Rosmontis, who was ableto live like a normal person due to her unique constitution and high adaptability with her Infected Organ.

After Lucas Reeve destroyed the Loken Water Tank and rescued all the children imprisoned inside, he still checked in on their situations from time to time. Some of the children who had never undergone any experiments were fine; aside from varying degrees of psychological trauma, after counseling with psychologists, they could basically live normal lives.

But for the portion of children who had already undergone the initial experiments and survived by sheer luck, after being rescued, in just two years, 30% of them had died from sudden-onset illnesses despite emergency treatment. 20% had their bodily functions deteriorate due to the influence of the transplanted Infected Organ and had to be permanently bedridden. An entire 70% of the children developed severe mental illnesses. Only about 30% of the children luckily showed no major abnormalities within these two years.

But that was only two years.

According to the head specialist, the five-year survival rate for these children was no more than 10%, and the ten-year survival rate was likely not even 1%.

And this was just the small portion who survived the first round of experiments; the vast majority of children didn’t even survive the first round.

Back then, when the Loken Water Tank was destroyed and Raythean Industries’ armed forces took control of the entire facility, they opened a certain warehouse. The scene in that warehouse remains vivid to this day. Countless children’s bodies were stuffed into that warehouse. A small number of these children were from Columbia; the majority were from the slums or other countries.

Precisely because of this.

Lucas Reeve and Jessica had almost zero tolerance for cruel human experimentation.

Since.

This Psionic Knight was able to go on stage and act as a knight.

It meant that everyone in the entire Chamber of Commerce knew, and even tacitly approved of this experiment.

The cheers for the Psionic Knight were high.

Extremely high.

When Sona came out, the number of people cheering for her was much lower compared to the Spring Major. In contrast, this Psionic Knight, who hadn’t participated in the Spring Major and had come straight from the qualifiers, had won the favor of many spectators with a combat style they had never seen before. The cheers were incessant.

No wonder the vast majority of spectators didn’t pay much attention to the Spring Major or Summer Major. In terms of sheer quality, it was questionable whether past Spring Major champions could even break into the Round of 16. The real powerhouses wouldn’t participate in the Spring Major, instead choosing to go directly through the qualifier route, or they were from major knightly orders that had quotas to skip the qualifiers and enter the championship directly.

Therefore, the triennial Knight Major was the real focus of all spectators. In fact, breaking into the Knight Major’s Round of 16 was even more prestigious than being the Spring Major champion.

”Sona, be careful. He’s quite strong.”

Lucas Reeve’s voice echoed in Sona’s mind.
