This time, Luo Ziling learned his lesson and didn’t ask too many questions. He prepared the drugs according to Phoenix’s requirements.
After preparing the drugs, Luo Ziling handed over three tiny capsules of hallucinogen extracted from the Claviceps fungus to Phoenix.
"Maybe you’ve heard of the name ergot diethylamide and know how terrifying this drug can be," Luo Ziling said with a smile. "Giving you three doses should surely be of use. Also, the drug just prepared is more toxic than you think. We can call this kind of drug ’Three-Step Fall.’
"Three-Step Fall" is just a colloquial term, but this easily understandable name clearly indicates how toxic the drug actually is.
Upon hearing that Luo Ziling had independently created a hallucinogen extracted from the Claviceps fungus, Phoenix appeared surprised.
When she heard that the newly formulated drug was described by Luo Ziling as ’Three-Step Fall,’ she felt even more surprised.
Although she doesn’t know much about drugs, she fully understands the terrifying extent of these two drugs.
This hallucinogen ergot diethylamide terrifies many personnel in intelligence and special operations, as their willpower cannot withstand this drug. Luo Ziling’s description of the drug’s nature as ’Three-Step Fall’ illustrates its extreme toxicity.
Her request was for the drug to cause death within five minutes, and according to Luo Ziling, the drug should be able to resolve a person in five seconds.
The toxicity is frightening!
Phoenix recalled a news story about a certain drug that could cause death within five seconds, priced at an extravagant cost, seemingly over one billion US Dollars per kilogram. If it were the same drug, the dosage given by Luo Ziling should be worth tens of millions of yuan.
"If you need someone to die within around five minutes, use just a tenth of the normal dosage," Luo Ziling seemed to notice the confusion in Phoenix’s mind or maybe he was worried she’d misunderstand. When Phoenix’s face showed surprise, he seriously explained in two sentences: "Manage the dosage yourself."
"Can you continue to help us formulate drugs in the future?" Phoenix made a new request, "We need many types of drugs, including hallucinogenic drugs like ergot diethylamide."
"No!" Luo Ziling shook his head, "Doing this sort of thing often shortens one’s life. I can only do it occasionally; otherwise, I feel uneasy."
Phoenix stared at Luo Ziling for a moment but ultimately didn’t say anything more.
Wuyue stood by Luo Ziling’s side, quietly listening to him show off in front of Phoenix.
She felt her understanding of Luo Ziling seemed to be becoming less comprehensive.
This guy often seems unable to be predicted by common logic.
Things they believe can be done naturally can have different thoughts in Luo Ziling’s perspective.
Things that can be easily resolved by others could become complicated in Luo Ziling’s approach.
Wuyue believes if Luo Ziling were willing to use drugs, his opponents would surely be less inclined to act recklessly.
Using drugs, many of the people unfriendly to Luo Ziling can be controlled.
Wuyue doesn’t believe that doing bad things will shorten life; she is an atheist.
For her, no matter what you do, as long as it can efficiently achieve the goal, it is a good method.
After returning home, she would persuade Luo Ziling not to hide these skills, as their application brings value.
After handing over the drugs to Phoenix, Luo Ziling solemnly asked her: "How is the task progressing? How confident are you in completing the mission? Also, just how difficult is it? Do you need us to do anything? The people around me are experts, and if needed, they can assist you."
"No need for now," Phoenix refused without hesitation. "Our nature is different from yours; try not to directly participate in our actions, unless we encounter significant difficulties. If such a situation arises, we’ll actively seek your help."
"Alright," Luo Ziling agreed briskly, without fuss, "When we have needs, we will call you for help. If you have needs, feel free to call us."
"You are already helping us, and it is of great assistance!" Phoenix raised the little bag in her hand, "Thank you very much."
"No problem!" Luo Ziling smiled, "I hope you can complete the task soon."
"We also hope to complete the task quickly."
"Why is it always you fetching the drugs? Wasn’t it said that Shanque would be contacting us?" Luo Ziling asked curiously, "Are you the least busy?"
"Shanque has a temporary task," Phoenix rarely explained, "I am the least busy among everyone; others are busy with various things."
Having explained, Phoenix reminded Luo Ziling about something, "Starting tomorrow, Lin Lan will also leave your side to join the action. In the coming days, you must change your identity and travel with Wuyue as a couple."
"I understand!" Luo Ziling nodded in agreement.
Actually, Lin Lan left earlier that morning for something.
Even without Phoenix explaining, he was aware Lin Lan wouldn’t continue staying by his side.
Phoenix no longer said much, left instructions for Luo Ziling to maintain contact whenever, and then departed.
With Lin Lan not around Luo Ziling, Wuyue felt noticeably more relaxed.
However, Wuyue didn’t ask Luo Ziling to accompany her anywhere for fun.
Because she understands that members from Dragon Rise have been busy with operations over the past few days, there’s always a risk of unexpected incidents.
If that happens, they will need to provide immediate support or withdraw.
Both stayed inside the hotel.
Since arriving in Paris, they’ve changed several places of residence.
After posing as a couple, Luo Ziling and Wuyue naturally had to change accommodations again.
After Phoenix left, they switched to a new hotel.
This hotel was more upscale than the previous one, not located in the city center but on the outskirts, surrounded by woods and a small lake.
This accommodation made Luo Ziling quite satisfied.
Instead of staying inside their room, they often strolled near the woods and the small river.
In fact, Luo Ziling doesn’t like waiting at all.
What he’s doing now is simply waiting, waiting for the Dragon Rise team to complete the mission, and then going back together, or perhaps the team would leave first. If the Dragon Rise team completes the task, they can return home. If not, they cannot leave.
The feeling of waiting was very frustrating for Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling and Wuyue lived in the newly changed hotel for seven consecutive days.
During these seven days, they barely left the hotel, wandering around the premises.
Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and others didn’t follow Luo Ziling and Wuyue here; they were busy with things.
Under Luo Ziling’s instructions, Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun were closely monitoring Dragon Rise’s actions for any necessary support.
Before departing the country, Luo Xusheng had instructed Luo Ziling not to get involved in too many things and only to provide assistance with drugs.
Although Luo Ziling verbally agreed to Luo Xusheng’s request, he still felt that if necessary, he would help Dragon Rise’s members.
Now he realized that he didn’t need to step in personally; letting his team members provide assistance was enough. This way, he wasn’t disobeying his parents.
Every day, Wang Zhenjun brought news.
Dragon Rise’s approach was still excellent; they had already infiltrated near the 13th base and were preparing to take action.
Follow-up news soon arrived, indicating Dragon Rise initiated a direct attack after utilizing the effective drug.
Then came a piece of news that made Luo Ziling quite frustrated.
Lin Lan was injured again.
The injuries didn’t only occur to Lin Lan; Shanque and Falcon were also hurt.
