Chapter 1842
Lily subconsciously retracted her hand in an instant. She was shocked as well. The earlier feeling
made her think she was under a curse. As Lily had learned about herbal plants, she knew how
poisonous the wilfordi root could be.
Moreover, this was a mutated plant before her, so she should not touch it. However, she felt she was
possessed earlier because she could not help but extend her hand toward it. It was such a strange
feeling.
When she snapped back to her senses, she looked toward the voice. It was a man in a hazmat suit,
and she could only see his eyes. She did not know anyone here, but the man gave her a sense of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamiliarity.
"Who are you?" she asked warily.
"You don't need to know that, but I’d advise you to leave as quickly as possible." With that, he turned
and left the room.
Lily was puzzled. She wondered if he had come here just to warn her.
Before she could react, the man exited through the door and turned at the corner, disappearing from
her sight.
She chased behind him, only to see a figure leaving in hurried steps.
Although he wore a hazmat suit, he looked familiar to her. Frowning, she followed behind the man, but
he was no longer in sight after leaving the room and turning the corner.
The hallway was empty, including all its other paths to the left and right. Lily saw no one as if the man
had not appeared earlier. It was as if she just imagined things.
'That’s impossible! He’s real, and I'm sure of it.'
It should have been easy for Lily to sense someone’s presence with her combat skills. Earlier, she
could say she missed it because she was fixated on the wilfordi root, but what about later? What about
when she ran out of the room? Why could she not sense his presence anymore?
'There are only two possibilities. Either I just saw things earlier, or the man is skilled, too!'
It was unsurprising for any kind of talent to exist in this organization. What was strange to Lily was that
the man appeared to warn her, and she could even say he had saved her life. Still, she wondered why
he left after warning her. It was as if he appeared just to save her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLily pondered and searched for the man for some time but still could not find him anywhere.
’How weird was that?’
Then she returned to the lab and saw that some people had already returned. However, they simply
continued with their work, and no one spared her a glance when she walked through the door. She
observed them and found no one was identical to the man earlier.
'Who was he?’
Lily stood before the wilfordi root once again. This time, she stared at it but did not get any closer.
Now, she seemed to understand why they placed it in such a manner, with a circular layer of protection
surrounding it. When one got closer to it, they seemed to be attracted uncontrollably. She wondered
what kind of powers the mutated wilfordi root had.
