Wuyue paused for a moment, surprised by Luo Ziling’s understanding, and felt a bit awkward.
"Young master, you’ve misunderstood. I meant that if you encounter trouble and we can’t take action, and furthermore can’t deal a fatal blow, then use the hallucinogen."
"Alright, it just so happens there’s a ready-made hallucinogen among the prepared drugs." Luo Ziling took out a bottle from his medicine kit and poured out a small piece of nearly colorless solid from it, "This is a drug extracted from ergot fungus, effective dosage only needs a small amount, about 30-50 micrograms, roughly a tenth the size of a grain of sand."
At this point, Luo Ziling’s mouth curled into a smile: "Let me put it this way, if you were to ingest it, no matter how strong your will is, you won’t withstand the effects of this drug. This should be the most potent psychoactive drug so far. I’ve read some related reports; some intelligence agencies use this drug for interrogating prisoners with very good results. Almost no one can resist its effects."
Luo Ziling’s words slightly changed Wuyue’s expression.
She quietly asked Luo Ziling, "When interrogating captured people before, did you use this drug?"
"No!" Luo Ziling shook his head, "It was only a month ago that I started experimenting with this drug. Actually, extracting this drug from fungi was also a challenge for me. Before this, I’ve been extracting necessary drug components from plants and animals, using these components to formulate drugs. In the future, I should broaden my perspectives to bacteria and fungi aspects. However, I still prefer extracting necessary drug components from Chinese herbs, then using these extracted components to formulate desired drugs, which gives a greater sense of accomplishment."
"Young master, I think you should teach this technology to a few trustworthy people, let them specially research this drug for you." Wuyue suggested.
"If you’re interested, I can teach you, but it’s not something that can be learned overnight." Luo Ziling grinned, "As for others, forget it."
Luo Ziling’s words made Wuyue feel a sense of trust, and she became happy inside.
"Then after returning to the country, I’ll learn pharmaceutical technology from the young master." As she said this, Wuyue couldn’t help but grumble about Luo Ziling, he has such expertise, yet hasn’t utilized it in past times.
If Luo Ziling could develop some special-effect drugs and give them for their use, things would certainly become much more convenient for them.
Fortunately, Luo Ziling’s attitude is shifting.
Shortly after, Phoenix and Lin Lan finished their conversation and came looking for Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling had already prepared the drugs they needed.
After packaging it properly, Luo Ziling handed a small bag of drugs to Phoenix.
"Here is the drug you wanted. Once absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, it starts to take effect in about four to five hours, and completely metabolizes in about six to eight hours. In other words, at most eight hours later, no abnormal components can be detected in the body. The lethal dose for this drug is around ten milligrams; it’s highly toxic. Be careful when using it as it can be absorbed through the skin."
Luo Ziling’s words slightly changed the expressions of Phoenix, Lin Lan, and Wuyue.
They knew that cyanide-like poisons with a lethal dose generally over a hundred milligrams, so this drug’s lethal dose of only ten milligrams is considered highly toxic.
Moreover, it can be absorbed through the skin.
Although Phoenix has undergone many experiences, she hesitated a little when Luo Ziling handed over the small bag.
Seeing Phoenix somewhat losing her composure made Luo Ziling feel proud. He reminded again, "I’ve used triple packaging; as long as the innermost packaging isn’t broken, it won’t contaminate."
Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Phoenix finally reached out to take it and placed it into a special bag.
"Next time if you want to harm me, I’ll use some of my specially formulated magical drugs against you." Luo Ziling chuckled, looking at Phoenix, "By then, don’t blame me!"
Luo Ziling’s words successfully earned three simultaneous eye-rolls from the women.
"With so many people coming at you, why don’t you use drugs to deal with them?" Phoenix curiously asked.
"That violates professional ethics!" Luo Ziling smiled and then added, "But if I don’t act in the capacity of a doctor, then it’s not a violation of professional ethics."
This remark earned simultaneous eye-rolls from Phoenix and Lin Lan again.
Without more words, Phoenix thanked Luo Ziling and left.
After Phoenix left, Luo Ziling took Lin Lan into the room to inquire about matters.
He asked Lin Lan what she had just discussed with Phoenix.
Lin Lan told Luo Ziling some situations, mainly focusing on Dragon Rise’s current setup.
Actually, Dragon Rise has already prepared to take action at any time, but the sudden appearance of this CIA member disrupted their rhythm. After careful consideration, Phoenix decided to target this person.
Lin Lan hesitated again but eventually revealed some things that shouldn’t have been disclosed.
"You know, we once conducted an operation against this organization, you also provided drugs, but the operation ultimately failed with casualties, one team member died, and three were injured. This was Dragon Rise’s most costly action in the past two years. Therefore, this action must succeed, it cannot fail, nor can any unnecessary trouble occur, more importantly, it shouldn’t trigger international disputes."
"How are you planning to act? How will you get the drug into this U.S. Intelligence Agency member’s mouth?" Luo Ziling was quite curious.
"We’ve already formulated a detailed plan, it definitely won’t fail. Phoenix will personally arrange the specific action." Lin Lan could only say this, other specifics couldn’t be disclosed.
Luo Ziling hesitated for a moment and ultimately chose not to ask further questions.
In the following two days, nothing particularly special happened.
On National Day, Luo Ziling and Lin Lan went to play around the Arc de Triomphe and also visited the Eiffel Tower, strolling along the Seine for half the day.
There were quite a few Chinese people in Paris, and on such a special day for celebration, they too held celebration activities.
Luo Ziling saw Hua Xia people waving the Five-star Red Flag in Paris’s squares and heard "Ode to the Motherland" and "The March of the Volunteers". Hearing familiar songs in a foreign land was quite exciting.
However, they didn’t join the crowd, just watched from a distance.
Two days after National Day, Luo Ziling and Lin Lan still had nothing to do, continuing their roles as tourists and going out for daily excursions.
On the evening of October 4th, Phoenix came to the hotel to find them again.
"The plan has succeeded; that U.S. intelligence personnel died in the base of Organization 13." After Phoenix arrived, she directly informed Luo Ziling of the situation and requested Luo Ziling to prepare more drugs for them.
"A toxin that can be lethal within five minutes, along with a hallucinogen." Phoenix’s request was somewhat alarming.
