Chapter 883 Insectization Research
Joan feels that these details are enough to show that the mentor is not as he claimed, only looking at the result is good or bad, not caring whether the process is good or evil.
Even if he disdains to admit it, at least deep down in his heart, there is still a benevolence of a doctor.
This can also be seen from Professor Moriarty's arrangements for the slaves.
He locked all the slaves in the laboratory, eating, drinking, and messing around indoors. The purpose was to ensure that these experimental subjects were isolated from the outside environment, so as to prevent the smallpox virus from spreading and infecting nearby residents and tourists.
Of course, although Joan's view of the tutor has changed, he has to admit that Professor Moriarty's kindness is very limited, otherwise he would not use living people to conduct dangerous virus experiments.
When the fifty slaves who participated in the experiment received the blankets from Professor Moriarty with grateful faces, they had no idea that the blankets were contaminated with smallpox virus, and they would spend the next few days in the same room with these viruses. He didn't know that every breath of air he inhaled was mixed with deadly viruses.
These fifty innocent lives, especially the members of the "control group" who were not vaccinated, had a very low chance of surviving.
If they had the opportunity to learn the truth about their own infection, these living experimental subjects would have every reason to hate Professor Moriarty and condemn him as an inhuman and insane devil.
Thinking of the fate of those experimental subjects, Joan couldn't help sighing secretly.
He saw the shining points in the mentor's personality, and at the same time saw the cold side of the mentor. He couldn't describe such a complicated person with good, bad, good and evil, and his own concepts were strongly impacted by this, and he often felt confused.
Perhaps, this is the trouble that a person must go through in the process of growing up.
...
On May 21st, the second day after Joan and the instructor came to the spa, visitors came to the door early in the morning.
The visitor is the young owner of this resort, Master Harry Kaufman.
Master Harry's visit this time has two main purposes.
First of all, on behalf of his father, Mr. David Kaufman, he paid tribute to Professor Moriarty who has settled in the villa. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to entertain a learned man like him.
In addition, Mr. David Kaufman conveyed his apology to Mr. Professor through his son.
"My father said in the letter that he should have personally received Mr. Professor, but the wedding was approaching, and he had to stay in the city for a few days to accompany Mrs. Josephine to choose the clothes and jewelry for the engagement banquet. It is really impossible to come back to receive you separately, so I specifically asked me to apologize to you on my behalf, and I must provide you with the most thoughtful and meticulous service to satisfy you."
Master Harry's words were very polite, and fully expressed his father's welcome and respect for the professor.
However, Joan was listening, and always felt that the words were not right.
Mr. David Kaufman specifically mentioned that he was busy helping his fiancée buy engagement items in the city. In order to win the favor of the beauties, he was very generous in money and time, which reflected his love for his fiancée from one aspect.
As a millionaire who is about to get engaged, Mr. David Kaufman certainly has reasons to show his affection publicly, but has he considered Professor Moriarty's mood, and does he remember that the other party is his fiancee's ex-boyfriend?
Joan looked at the mentor with deep sympathy.
Think about it in your own shoes, if you were in the position of a mentor, you would be very embarrassed when you heard what Master Harry said, and you don't know what it feels like...
However, after all, Professor Moriarty is not such an ignorant little boy like him, let alone show his emotions on his face. He smiled and thanked Kaufman and his son for their thoughtfulness and hospitality, and invited Master Harry to have a cup of coffee together. .
Strange to say, since the last time he was forced to "read palmistry", Joan felt that the relationship between Master Harry and his mentor has become much closer. Could it be that he was really lied to?
In addition to running errands and delivering letters for his father, Master Harry's visit this time also has a private purpose, which is to invite Mr. Professor and his students to go hunting in the wetlands.
Master Harry was dressed in a neat hunting suit, looking more chic and capable than before. With three guns with him, and four male servants wearing peaked caps, not to mention the large group of overactive hounds outside the door, they are well prepared for this outing and hunting.
Professor Moriarty is also a fun-loving person, and since Master Harry kindly invited him, he gladly went with him.
As for Joan, he didn't want to wade through the muddy pond infested by mosquitoes under the bright summer sun.
After working hard all day, just to put in a few shots, you can't see the real wild ducks that can be hunted, why bother?
If he really wanted to hunt, he had plenty of ways to hunt more abundant game, so he wouldn't waste his time feeding mosquitoes in the wetlands.
He was reluctant in his heart, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face.
As soon as Professor Moriarty saw his expression, he knew what he was doing. He turned around and told Master Harry that his student was not feeling well, and he himself came here specially to accompany the student to recuperate, so hunting such a high-intensity outdoor Joan should not participate in sports, so as not to overwork and aggravate his condition.
Master Harry nodded, and comforted Joan with understanding to relax and take care of his body. If there is anything needed, just tell the servants.
Joan watched the mentor and Master Harry leave the villa with a large group of servants and hounds.
The manor became extremely deserted, and instead of feeling lonely, he felt very comfortable.
A person like him may never change his solitary disposition in his bones. Even if the people around him treat him well, he still prefers to be alone.
Joan came to Baden Hot Springs not just for eating, drinking and having fun, besides occasionally assisting his tutor in researching "smallpox virus", he also had his own research to do.
After seeing off his mentor and Master Harry, Joann returned to the private "portable laboratory" that his mentor helped him build, and decided to conduct a comprehensive and thorough research on "worm disease" starting today.
Joan's research plan is divided into 10 links, which are independent of each other and have certain connections.
The first question Joan needs to answer is the biological classification of "insectoid humans".
There are many species in the Vales world, and the classification method is also quite complicated.
All species belong to two parallel "general domains", one is the "natural biological domain" and the other is the "supernatural biological domain".
Within these two "total domains", the various categories are arranged basically vertically from largest to smallest.
For example, "Natural Biological Domain", the subordinate category is "Domain", including "Bacterial Domain", "Ararcha Domain", and "Eukaryotic Domain" to which most existing natural organisms belong.
The category under "Domain" is "kingdom", such as "animal kingdom", "vegetal kingdom", "fungal kingdom" and so on.
Further down, there are "phylum", "class", "order", "family", "genus", "species", and their corresponding sub-categories.
