"The latest news, there was a homicide in the Presbyterian Hospital in New York, the deceased was a woman, named Sutton Christen, who was a hospital nurse by profession...... Nurse Sutton has been working at Presbyterian for 10 years and is a single mother of two daughters......"
"Nurse Sutton's killer drained her blood, was so brutal that she was suspected of having a special fetish, and the police called her a 'vampire murderer.'"
"The number one suspect is Michael Morbius, a well-known scientist and doctor, who is still on the run, please take precautions and report to the police if you have any news."
The morning news on the television rang in David's ears.
Yesterday, he was still thinking about how to deal with the possible threat from Morbius, and today he saw the news that Morbius is wanted by the police.
According to the original plot, Morbius was supposed to be arrested by the police after Nurse Sutton's death, and then found out that he had been framed by his half-brother, Milo, also known as Lucis Krone.
Morbius was betrayed by his best friend, and in anger at his departure, he burst out of the detention center where he was imprisoned, and was forced by Lucis to kill him, and finally became the famous anti-hero character, Doctor Night.
But now it seems that the police did not catch Morbius in the first homicide.
Why is that?
Although with the ability of the police, they will definitely not be able to catch Morbius, who has turned into a vampire and is bent on escaping, but at this time, Morbius should still be in the confused stage of his life, and he will not resist the seizure of justified detention from state agencies.
This is the so-called political correctness of superhero movies.
"Michael, what exactly do you want to do?"
David had a headache.
From the bottom of his heart, although Morbius may pose a threat to him, he actually doesn't care that much.
Morbius's starting point is simply not to want his research to leak out, so that the side effects of bat serum harm the world.
This is also politically correct in superhero films.
Therefore, even if Morbius appeared in front of him, he would not kill himself, at most he would snatch back the full set of information about bat serum that had been stolen from his own hands.
However, when David retrieved the information back to the Fisker Pharmaceutical Research Institute, this possibility was dissipated.
Richard, Connors and Killian, which is not a well-known scientist?
Now that they've seen the full set of materials and have an idea, re-replicating the experiment isn't a problem for them.
Unless Morbius kills everyone present, he will not be able to organize the leakage of bat serum research.
In this regard, as long as Morbius is not completely blackened, David is invincible.
The only question he faced was how long and effortless would it take to completely eradicate the side effects of bat serum?
Knock knock!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
David spoke.
Richard pushed the door open, holding a vial of serum in his hand, and smiled, "We made it." ”
"So fast?"
David looked surprised.
"The materials you brought back contain all the experimental processes and data, and you can't slow down if you want to."
Richard handed the serum to David: "We've made a lot, I'll give you this bottle, I hope you won't want to use it." ”
"Thank you."
David nodded and took it solemnly.
Richard and the others have apparently guessed part of the truth.
The half-finished Batman potion had the side effect of turning the injector into a vampire, and they certainly didn't want to see David turn into a vampire.
The news on TV is still on the air.
At this time, the New York Police Department, the sergeant of the Manhattan subdivision, George Stacey, was speaking to reporters.
The protagonist of his speech, the vampire murderer, Michael Morbius, is now being shouted at by everyone.
Christen Sutton, a nurse at Presbyterian Hospital who was sucked dry, aroused the sympathy of many people, who generously donated money to her two underage daughters.
This amount of money is not small, and the two daughters of Nurse Sutton can grow up smoothly with this money, and there is still a surplus.
David found that the largest donation was made by the Horizon Lab, where Morbius once worked.
Horizon Labs investor, Lucis Krone, is now supposed to be the de facto controller of Horizon Labs.
What's going on?
David knew very well that the real murderer in the Presbyterian Hospital was Lucis Krone, who also suffered from a blood disorder and had a great change of mind after being injected with bat serum.
Could it be that the conscience of this blackened villain has been discovered?
"Morbius is very powerful, his invention of artificial blood has saved many people, and not long ago he turned down the Nobel Prize, although the Nobel Prize was awarded to him in the end."
At this time, Richard's words brought him back to his senses.
Richard sighed as he watched the news: "Actually, I know Morbius, we talked at a salon. He was a good guy and tried everything he could to treat blood disorders. I didn't expect him to turn into a vampire. ”
"Richard, you don't have to worry about Morbius threatening us."
David smiled: "Do you think that the victim of the Presbyterian Hospital was killed by Morbius?" ”
"Isn't it?"
Richard was slightly surprised: "Didn't the police report claim that Morbius had acquiesced in the matter when questioned?" ”
"It's not that simple......"
David saw Richard's uneasiness and patiently explained: "Morbius is a self-controlled person, he has a smart mind, and at the same time has a sense of social responsibility that is higher than ordinary people, even if he becomes a vampire, he will not blindly kill people and suck blood." ”
"I know you know him, but you don't know him."
David spoke slowly, "I used to work at Horizon Labs, and I know very well what kind of person Morbius is. ”
"Although he does pose a certain threat to us, our goal is to improve the bat serum on the basis of his experiments, and treat more people with drugs without side effects......
"He was dying, reaching the limit of his life cycle for the disease, and there was no other option but injections. We are different, we have enough time to improve it, to perfect it, we have seen that it is possible, and we will never fail. ”
David's words dispelled Richard's concerns.
"Since that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Richard nodded.
After he left, David hadn't caught his breath when the knock on the door rang again.
Knock knock!
This time it was Killian who pushed the door in.
"Dr. Killian, what's the matter?"
David was curious.
Honestly, this was the second time he had spoken to Killian.
The first time was shortly after Killian joined the company, and during that conversation, Killian was grateful to David for his willingness to take him in.
"Yes, I have some ideas about bat serum."
Killian hesitated for a moment, saw David's expression of excitement, and hurriedly said, "Maya Hansen, I don't know if you know her, but her research may be very helpful to us. ”
"Maya Hansen, Desperate Virus?"
Davy groaned.
"Great, it looks like you know her, so I don't need to explain too much......"
Killian breathed a sigh of relief: "I think the reason why bat serum has side effects is because when the bat gene is fused with human genes, the human nerve repair center cannot match the bat gene, resulting in serious side effects such as becoming a vampire......"
At this, he paused, as if thinking.
David listened attentively, and suddenly his voice stopped, and he glanced at Killian in surprise, and urged, "Please continue." ”
Killian nodded, worded slightly, and continued: "If we can use Maya Hansen's research to reprogram the human nerve repair center to make human genes more adapted to bat genes, maybe we can make the side effects disappear without modifying today's bat serum." ”
David understood instantly.
Killian changed his mind, and instead of trying to modify the bat serum, he started with human genes to make human genes more suitable for bat genes.
The two research directions have the same goal.
However, since the optimization of bat serum has encountered difficulties, it is better to optimize human genes.
"Where is she?"
David couldn't hold it back, and immediately said, "I'll go find her now." ”
"MIT, she's a professor there......"
Killian replied without hesitation.
"I'll go see her now, and I'll bring her back."
David was elated and called to book a ticket.
When he called, he found that Killian was still standing in front of him, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Is there anything else?" ”
"Can I come with you?"
Killian's face turned a little red, and he lacked confidence, and said in a low voice: "I actually appreciate it...... That, Dr. Hansen......"
"Of course, I'll book two tickets, and you come with me."
David understood, it was dog licking.
He smiled dumbly, not refusing Killian's request.
……
Meanwhile.
In a high-rise building not far from Imperial State University.
A man in a hoodie and hat is closing his eyes and listening to the city's every move.
He seemed to hear the conversation between David and his employees, his face was complicated, showing hesitation, and finally after sighing softly, his body flashed, and he suddenly rose into the air, his limbs seemed to be blurred in the air, and black mist appeared, disappearing in place.
If anyone sees his face, they will be able to recognize him as the vampire murderer who is repeatedly broadcast on TV today.
Michael Morbius.
