Chapter 1885 A Surprise
"Hmm... that's unfortunate."
As seconds passed, Alex became aware that he simply had no method of testing whether what he had done would be a success or not.
The memory he had seen of the man who did these experiments first told him that in the book he had read about these experiments, this was how he would succeed.
Only Alex wanted more than just memories from a memory. He wanted factual evidence this would work, but it appeared that it wasn't going to work.
In the end, to figure out if a Spiritual Root transplant worked, he needed to try it out on a living, breathing human being. Only then would the body take in the spiritual root and adapt to it.
Alex was certain to never get a chance to do that, at least not here. He felt horrible even thinking about experimenting with living humans. That was horrible and had been why he had killed the previous man who had done it with children.
The only one Alex could do something like this would be with his enemies, and there were none of them at the moment.
The only possible person he could do it with was himself in the end, and he already had all 7 roots. There would be no way in hell he would ever experiment on himself, even if he physically could, to transplant another root on himself.
This experiment had now hit a dead end. There was no moving forward without using morally questionable means.
Alex still finished what he started. The experience of placing the meridians and spiritual roots into another body, albeit a dead one, was still quite valuable. It was useful knowledge to use later if the need ever arises.
After finishing his experimentation, Alex tore away all the Spiritual roots from the person, storing them in an ice-filled container, along with all the rest of the spiritual roots he had taken before.
He wasn't sure if he would ever need them, but if he did, he would have the ones right here. Hopefully, because he had taken them out just minutes after the person's death, they would all still be working when he needed them.
Alex burned the rest of the corpse, taking out two urns of ashes to hand over to the people who had brought them. Then, after some deliberation, he decided to stop experimenting on people.
Alex made an announcement that he would stop taking dying men and women now. The ones that were there were returned back to their family, to spend the last of their days with them.
Once that matter was settled, Alex went to his family to spend what few days there were.
Hannah arrived in the Southern Continent a few weeks later, along with Long Huan, as a complete surprise to most of them.
Alex was one of the people surprised at her appearance. But somehow Helen, Liz, and Ronron seemed to not be surprised at all. They even seemed to be expecting it.
