The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 40 Diana's pov The man in front oflooked around thirty years old.

His skin showed a perpetual pale complexion, and his eyes had a hint of tiredly redness.

However, despite this, his face was handsome, and he carried an innate aristocratic aura My intuition toldthat he was not a very approachable person.

“Who are you?” 1 asked after a brief moment of confusion.

“It doesn’t matter who | am. Answer my question first. What methods did you use to control her condition?” He roared low, with a sharp cold light shining in his pupils.

| frowned.

“I won't answer any of your questions until you clarify who you are.” The man stood up straight and looked at me.

After a moment, his deep and cold voice rang out in the office.

Scott Moss. You may not have heard of me, but | know you well. Diana, or | should call you Healer.” A nsuddenly flashed through my mind.

| 1 squinted my eyes.

The next second, | chuckled softly.

“So it’s you.” Scott's expression relaxed a bit and said, “Do you know me?” “Of course, you are Professor Reed's first student.” Scott Moss, who studied medicine with Professor Reed two years earlier than me, was one of the main members of Professor Reed's research team.

Professor Reed has mentioned him toand has also tried to arrange for us to meet.

BUt because Scott was a medical fanatic, he spent most of his tin the research. room and refused all social activities.

Therefore, we have never met before.

My gaze shifted away from his face and landed on the report he had put on the table. Suddenly, my eyes widened.

“The patient you asked was Avia?” | looked at him in surprise.

“Yes. Now, can you tellwhat methods you used to control Avia’s condition?” “Sure, but how did you know about Avia’s condition? She...

“Diana!” At this moment, William's voice cfrom outside the door.

He walked into the office and closed the door.

| stood up from the seat and said, “William, why did you cover?” “Scott, you are here too?” William looked at Scott and turned to me, “Do you remembertelling you about Penny’s research? | hope you will take the lead in restarting this project. But because you are currently busy with the handover, | haven't explained it to you in detail yet.” “Of course | remember.” “So Diana, now | have something important to tell you,” William's tone suddenly becserious. “The virus Avia is infected with is exactly what Penny has been studying. And it is why this research laboratory was established in the first place.” | was extremely shocked.

“So, about that virus...” ‘Scott knows more about the virus. Let him introduce it to you,” William said.

| looked at Scott and found that he was also looking at me.

After about two or three seconds, Scott's deep and steady voice rang out in the office.

“Enigma is the academic nfor this virus, which has been appearing on a small scale in various packs since about ten years ago. At that time, its was also called ‘Gummy Skull’. It is LSD that is often found in places like bars and nightclubs.” “LSD?” | suddenly raised the pitch..

No wonder! No wonder | found out from Avia’s body that this virus had a strong addiction. It turned out to be a drug itself.

“That's right. It's LSD,” Scott continued, “However, no one expected that it would gradually evolve into a lethal virus when it entered a werewolf's body. After seeing such patients one after another, Professor Reed quickly realized the seriousness of the situation and urgently formed a research team. She hoped to find a specific drug for this virus as soon as possible. Unfortunately, before the specific drug was found, Professor Reed passed away.

Since then, our project has been stagnant. And now Scott's voice paused and he stared straight at me, “You are the only person who has successfully alleviated this virus. So you must tellexactly what method you have. used!” | was stunned. | thought for a while, digesting the information in Scott's words.

After taking a deep breath, | said, “I gave Avia my specially designed detoxification pill, but it’s just a temporary solution.” “The temporary relief is already a significant breakthrough,” Scott's pupils flashed with a hint of sadness.

My heart thumped twice.

My intuition toldthat something even worse was happening.

“So, to what extent has this virus developed?” | asked.

After a few seconds of silence, Scott said, “If it only harms the body itself, it's After a few seconds of silence, Scott said, “If it only harms the body itself, it’s actually not a big deal. But the fact is, those who have the drug will have extremely strong infectivity in their blood and saliva in the later stages.

That is to say, even those who don’t use drugs will eventually be infected.” 1 clenched my palm tightly, my hair standing on end.

If what Scott said is true, then this drug “Gummy Skull” was actually the virus of “Enigma”. It would be likely to bring catastrophic consequences to all werewolves! | grabbed Scott's wrist and said, “Tell me! This drug is now under control, right?” Scott closed his eyes and then shook his head wearily.

“No. We have already locked a large number of infected individuals. Avia is the only patient who has not evolved to the later stage and is currently the only research subject we have access to. Additionally, we have known that there are still speople selling Gummy Skull’ on the black market.” I was stunned.

DI.

“Do they want the entire werewolf world to be destroyed?” ‘In the face of profit, the whole werewolf world is nothing to them.” Scott curled his lips and showed a hint of mockery.

Suddenly, a deep sense of powerlessness swept across my body, and | collapsed into a chair.

“So, what should we do next?” | asked.

Scott cleared his throat and said, “Currently, we only have two options. The first is to work with all packs to find the source of this drug and destroy it. Then... kill all drug users to avoid infection.” | looked up at Scott incredulously and said, “This is so cruel! You know, many of them were infected inevitably.” “Yes, so there is a second way. We still need to find the source of trafficking this drug in private. But at the stime, we must quickly develop a special drug so that we can save all innocent people. Diana, you are our only hope. Do you want to... give it a try?” “Of course, | must give it a try,” | replied without hesitation.

“You should know that being exposed to this virus is very dangerous. If someone with ulterior motives or the mastermind behind the drug trafficking knows about it, even if you are Alpha Marc's sister, they will try to assassinate you! In addition, you. may even be at the risk of being infected.” “So what?” | smiled nonchalantly, “It's because I'm Alpha Marc's sister that | need to protect my Pack! Besides, it’s about the entire werewolf world. | absolutely can’t back down.” | lowered my head and wrote down the formula for the detoxification pill, handing it over to Scott. “You produce a batch of medicine first. If you don’t have enough money, transfer it from my account. Let's try this detoxification pill first to see if it works for those infected people.” “Okay,” Scott took the recipe | wrote. “So, when do you plan to join the research?” “Tomorrow,” | said, “I will join the research from tomorrow onwards.” tom now on, your kenny as Heater must beca secret. Inis is a protection tur you As long as no one knows Healer’s true identity, even if they want to assassinate you, it won't be so easy.” “I understand. | will be cautious.” William and Scott lett.

| telt exhausted.

After a butet ten-minute break, | went to Avia’s ward as Healer.

Scott was right, Avia was currently the only patient whose condition was controllable.

| must constantly observe her every move and quickly find the breakthrough point for treatment.

However, to my surprise, as soon as | pushed open the door of Avia’s ward, a desk lamp hit my forehead.

“Get out! Don’t enter my room! Get out!” | dodged the attack.

The desk lamp fell to the ground, splitting into pieces.

| walked up to Avia’s bed and calmly looked at her.

She glared atangrily, her five fingertips turning white as she grabbed the bedsheet.

“You bitch! It’s all your fault! If it weren't for you telling Nathan that I'm not sick, Nathan wouldn't have suspectedand Diana wouldn't have instigated Nathan to do a test for me, and | wouldn't have...” “You wouldn't have let Claud inject drugs and infect you with the virus in a hurry,” | added to her words.

Her expression showed as if she wanted to killright now.

| gave a cold smile and said, “You're stupid yourself. How did you have the face to blothers?” “Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! Ill kill you!” Avia was furious and rushed over to beat me.

| was momentarily unaware and was scratched on my hand by her sharp nails.

cheek | took a deep breath and saw Avia raising her hand towards my | squinted my eyes, quickly pinched her wrist, and then returned the slap to her!
