Chapter 923: Chapter 919: Can You Get in Touch with the Hunter?

The reason is simple, because many of the logic don’t really hold up.

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Xiao Tian say, "I told you before, this time it’s actually to help a friend of mine, but I was interrupted twice by you, can I talk about it now?"

Adison Claire quickly gathered her thoughts, replaced her expression with a serious one, and said, "First, tell me the specifics. As long as I can help, I won’t refuse!"

These words were incredibly sincere. Having passively accepted so much help before, Adison Claire was naturally very willing and ready to help when finally presented with the opportunity to repay, exerting as much as she could.

Xiao Tian nodded and poured out Lin Bingxuan and Melinda’s exact words, as well as some of his own deductions, to Adison Claire.

After listening to Xiao Tian’s narrative, Adison Claire couldn’t help but furrow her brows: "It seems that it is indeed because harmful gas was inhaled into the body after the explosion, but what exactly was the material of the explosion?"

Xiao Tian immediately made a bitter face: "I wasn’t on the scene at the time, so I can’t confirm what the material was exactly."

"Can’t determine the specific material? This is really a bit troublesome." Adison Claire murmured to herself: "Without seeing the raw material of the explosion, many things can’t be determined!"

Xiao Tian had thought of this result before, so there wasn’t much reaction at this moment, but instead, Adison Claire began to feel anxious.

It was hard to get an opportunity to help Xiao Tian, and she wouldn’t want to miss it for anything.

After a long silence, based on Xiao Tian’s words, Adison Claire gave her insight: "Actually, you don’t need to be too anxious. From the fact that your friend didn’t show immediate life-threatening signs, it shouldn’t be something highly toxic and won’t cause lethal damage to the body."

Though she said that, there was a second half of the sentence that Adison Claire didn’t say...

That is, although the main organs of the body won’t suffer lethal harm, it’s not to be ruled out that harmful gases won’t destroy other things.

Like cells, genes, etc., once these get damaged, the consequences wouldn’t be much easier compared to organ damage.

However, this is not the scariest part. Once the neural hub is permanently damaged, even rescuing them won’t have much significance.

Someone who only breathes and has to do everything on a bed, in Adison Claire’s view, rather than living so painfully, it would be better to give them a straightforward end.

It’s not that Adison Claire’s thoughts are radical, mainly because permanent damage to the neural hub is not the same as an ordinary vegetative state, where there’s the possibility of recovery, but for the former, there’s not even a possibility!

Seeing Xiao Tian’s face slightly somber, Adison Claire gritted her teeth, deciding to tell him the truth anyway, cruel as it may be, she at least wanted to prepare him mentally.

...

During the period when the truth was being spoken, Adison Claire’s eyes never left Xiao Tian’s face. Although his face did look quite unpleasant, it was never as strongly reactive as she expected.

A moment later, like adjusting his state, Xiao Tian turned slightly, met Adison Claire’s eyes, and said, "Thank you!"

This thank you made Adison Claire feel an overwhelming sense of discomfort in her heart, always feeling like she had let the other party down.

Putting aside all personal emotions, just looking at the aid each party provided each other, Adison Claire felt that her words just mentioned were not even worth mentioning.

After all, from getting out of the predicament with the Water Drop Organization, to the other party braving risks alone, helping her retrieve a watch with significant meaning, and acquiring a hard drive that recorded extremely important experimental records, helping her conclude this matter of the heart.

With everything layering upon each other, Adison Claire felt she truly couldn’t bear Xiao Tian’s thank you.

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but lower her head in shame, saying, "You don’t need to say thanks. Actually, I’m the one who should be most thankful. Without you, I really don’t know how long I could have held out!"

After she finished speaking, Adison Claire added, "I’m really sorry for not being able to help you!"

Xiao Tian let out a breath of turbid air, shook his head, and said, "This isn’t your problem, mainly it’s my limited information, can’t blame you!"

Adison Claire opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, couldn’t speak, leaving her gratitude buried in her heart to be repaid at a later time.

Just as she was about to go to Xiang Yiting to rest a bit before dawn, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, I remember you mentioned Hunter when talking to people from the Water Drop Organization, do you know him?"

This question really stumped Xiao Tian, and after thinking about it, he had to answer, "Met once, not familiar."

"Then do you have a way to contact him?" Adison Claire, like grabbing onto a lifeline, her eyes gleamed with anticipation as she looked at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian coughed, casually brushing off: "Probably can’t, but why are you looking for him?"

After hearing Xiao Tian’s reply, Adison Claire’s mood visibly dropped a bit, but she still truthfully answered: "I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Hunter has always been hostile with the Water Drop Organization and the Biochemical Beast I researched was also defeated by him multiple times."

"So, I want to find him and team up against the Water Drop Organization. This way, I wouldn’t have to worry about them sending people to retaliate, and Hunter would gain a helping hand."

At this point, Adison Claire turned her gaze to Xiao Tian and asked with some uncertainty: "You encountered Hunter before, do you think he’d agree?"

To be fair, Xiao Tian indeed found Adison Claire’s idea somewhat tempting. With an additional ally who was once relied upon by the Water Drop Organization, he indeed had no reason to refuse.

Yet he was a bit puzzled, logically speaking, after getting out of the Water Drop Organization’s control, Adison Claire would first think about how to avoid being found, to hide, wouldn’t she?

However, Adison Claire’s first thought was how to find help and launch a revenge action against the Water Drop Organization, which certainly puzzled him.

Seeming to see through what Xiao Tian was thinking, Adison Claire lowered her eyes and said, "My parents’ death is directly related to the Water Drop Organization."

Xiao Tian nodded knowingly, yet felt an incredibly overwhelming sorrow emanating from her, and in conjunction with that calm tone, he could hardly imagine how painful Adison Claire felt inside at this moment.

Once she started talking, it was like Adison Claire had found a vent, and she began to speak: "I’ve never been someone big-hearted, just a girl who wanted to realize my value through my efforts, to achieve success and fame..."
