Beauty Man's Myriad Hearts

"Sorry, I have no plans to change jobs at the moment..."

Maya Hansen didn't think too much and subconsciously chose to refuse.

With her level and ability, she naturally receives countless job offers on a daily basis. Even Fortune 500 companies in the world are queuing up for her to join, let alone Fisker Pharmaceuticals, which David mentioned is unknown.

"Please hear me out first."

David seemed to have guessed Maya's response, and interrupted again and said in a calm tone: "Fisker Pharmaceuticals may not be famous, but the heads of our company's laboratories are Richard Parker and Curt Kang.

Nas, and..."

He glanced at Killian with disgust:

"And what you see now, Aldreth Killian."

"They are undoubtedly talents in the same field. You must have heard their names. In addition, Fisker Pharmaceuticals has enough financial resources to support your research on the terminal virus."

"Actually, my invitation is not to make you give up researching the Extremis Virus, but the research we are conducting is in urgent need of a breakthrough and we very much need the help of the Extremis Virus."

"Therefore, Ms. Hansen, I hope you will give my request serious consideration."

"If it doesn't work, I also hope that you can lend a helping hand and serve as our temporary consultant to make suggestions and help us solve practical difficulties."

David's eyes were hot and his tone was sincere.

Maya had an unprecedented feeling of being taken seriously, and she showed a hesitant expression.

"What are you studying? Can I know?"

She had indeed heard of Richard Parker and Curt Connors.

The latter, in particular, has the same goal as his own in terms of research purposes. To a large extent, it is to activate necrotic cells at the genetic level to achieve disease prevention and treatment, and even limb regeneration.

I was a little shaken for a while.

"Our research project is called bat serum, and its purpose is to cure a rare blood disease related to a genetic defect."

David said and paused: "As a scientist, you will never miss the big news that just happened."

"Nobel Prize, Michael Morbius."

Maya was very smart and immediately understood the implication of David's words: "Is this the rare blood disease that Dr. Morbius suffered from since he was a child?"

"Yes, many people know that Dr. Morbius has tried everything he could to treat the disease he suffered from, but without exception, they all failed."

David nodded, not hiding anything, and said calmly: "In fact, this is a mistake. His last unknown attempt did not fail, but achieved unprecedented success."

"He succeeded?"

Maya was a little surprised: "It's such a big thing, why didn't I hear the news?"

Apparently, Maya Hansen isn't paying attention to the news coming out of New York.

In the current era, the Internet, as an emerging industry, has entered thousands of households. Although it has not reached the intelligent era of later generations, it can be said that most people are no longer unfamiliar with the Internet.

People are gradually becoming accustomed to browsing news online.

"Because of this experiment, Dr. Morbius became a wanted criminal and is now being hunted by the police."

David spread his hands.

"What?"

Maya became more and more surprised. She didn't expect that she would hear such news, and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth happened?"

"Although Dr. Morbius' experiment was successful, the bat serum has strong side effects."

David paused and said word by word: "He was affected by the animal instinct of the bat and turned into a vampire."

vampire?

Hearing this word, Maya Hansen couldn't help but shudder and felt a chill in her heart.

Vampires are no stranger to Westerners.

It originated from the folklore of the Slavs in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. After continuous adaptation of entertainment works from various countries in the past hundred years, the common image of vampires has gradually evolved into a type of fantasy creature that must suck blood to maintain vitality, is active at night, and has supernatural powers.

"I thought vampires were just legends..."

Maya Hansen gasped.

"It may have been a legend before, but the appearance of Morbius is enough to prove that the existence of vampires is not groundless."

David said lightly without going into details.

Although there is no vampire in the main Marvel movie universe, he does have an identity system, and it is difficult to say that the current world line will not change again.

"According to you, Mobius has been successful, but the bat serum has strong side effects. So, you need me to join to help you improve the bat serum, eliminate its side effects, and benefit disease patients?"

Maya Hansen thought about it and understood what David was thinking.

"You can say that."

David nodded and looked at Killian beside him: "However, Killian put forward a new idea. The integration of human genes and bat genes is not satisfactory. Instead of modifying bat serum, it is better to optimize human genes so that human genes and bat genes can be integrated with each other.

The fusion of bat genes has been improved.”

After a pause: "In this way, your desperate virus can also have better effects."

"I have to admit that your proposal is very attractive to me, but..."

Maya Hansen looked troubled: "I need time to think about it. Can you give me a few days to think about it?"

"Of course, I know this is not an easy decision."

David nodded, his eyes falling on the potted plants stored in glass containers in Maya Hansen's laboratory, showing curiosity: "Can I visit your laboratory? Those plants are the results of your research on the Extremis virus.

?”

"Yes, with the help of someone, my development of the Extremis virus has entered a critical stage, which is why I didn't plan to join you at the beginning... I thought you wanted me to give up my research on the Extremis virus.

"

Maya Hansen smiled and said: "I can introduce it to you."

"someone?"

David thought of the original plot, the spring night the other party had spent with Tony Stark, and his eyes flashed: "Is this person Tony Stark?"

"Yes."

Maya Hansen did not hide anything, with a hint of admiration in her tone, and nodded: "He is both a bastard and a genius. After just chatting with me for a few words, he wrote an equation that solved the problem that troubled me by optimizing the telomere algorithm.

A long-standing problem.”

Hearing this, David felt nothing, but Killian felt as if he had eaten a fly.

Killian knew the situation under which Maya Hansen and Tony Stark were chatting.

He was standing on the roof of the building with his head in the wind and snow, while the goddess and bastard in his heart hugged each other in the warm room...

After visiting the laboratory, David and Killian said goodbye and left, finding a hotel nearby to stay and waiting for Maya Hansen's reply.

Although the young talented female scientist did not express her position clearly, David could vaguely feel her heartbeat.

That night.

David browsed the New York news online and found that the New York police reported that three bodies were found in the Lower East Side of New York. The three died on a street outside a bar frequented by Wall Street traders. They should have been killed just after drinking.

Needless to say, the cause of death was that all the blood was drained from his body.

The number one suspect is not Michael Morbius, and the police speculate that it is a copycat crime.

These days, murderers also pay attention to the patent of their techniques.

David knew that the real culprit of this murder was also Morbius's friend, Lucis Crown.

This person was affectionately called "Milo" by Morbius, which was considered a nickname among friends.

However, what he was most concerned about was not the homicide reported in the news, but another notice issued by the police.

[Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Martina Bancroft is missing. According to police investigation, she is suspected to have been kidnapped... It is reported that Dr. Bancroft is the girlfriend of the vampire murderer Michael Morbius...]

In the memory instilled by the system, David is not a stranger to Martina. Although his familiarity is not as good as that of Morbius, he has often seen her and she can be regarded as half an assistant in Horizon Lab.

"Kidnapping?"

David touched his chin and clicked on the video link below the forum.

This is actually the internal surveillance footage of Presbyterian Hospital.

Today's Internet lacks supervision, and many of the contents on it are bolder than in later generations.

This kind of content can basically be regarded as police evidence, and netizens have no scruples.

David clicks for video.

Martina has just entered the hospital corridor.

Suddenly, a figure in a gray suit disappeared like a ghost.

Also following the gray figure disappeared was Martina.

David narrowed his eyes.

He recognized the gray figure.

Not Morbius, but his former friend and current rival.

Lucius Crown.
