“Nonsense!” Sophia rolled her eyes at him.

“Hehe, you can’t blame him. After all, he hasn’t awakened for a few days.” Professor Martin smiled and helped him out.

Aiden kept his mouth shut, but his heart was in turmoil.

Could it be that only he had the so-called System upgrade?

‘Why?’

At this moment, Aiden vaguely sensed that his situation was more special than the other Awakened ones.

Professor Martin and Sophia did not notice Aiden’s abnormality and continued to talk.

“Upgrading skills is very difficult. It requires a long time to accumulate, but I can’t tell you how to do it.”

“Why?” Sophia Harry was a little displeased.

“Because that’s the rule.”

“Rules? What rules?” Aiden was puzzled. “Who made them?”

“I can’t say.” Professor Martin stood up, his expression unreadable.

“Alright, that’s all. If you want to know more, you have to explore it yourselves. Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that you have to survive first. Otherwise…”

Professor Martin paused and slowly glanced at the two of them.

“Otherwise, there’s no point in knowing too much. A dead person doesn’t need to know too much.”

With that, he glanced at his phone, stood up, and handed over a note. “Let’s not talk about it anymore. I have to accompany my wife. If you need any help in the future, you can come to this address to look for me.”

Before leaving, he took out a syringe and handed it to Aiden.

“Take this. If this kid has any abnormalities later, inject it directly.”

Professor Martin left. Sophia sat on the edge of the bed with a serious expression, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing her like this, Aiden didn’t know how to persuade her. In his opinion, improving one’s strength wasn’t that important. The most important thing was to survive.

However, Sophia did not seem to think so. Her desire for strength had almost reached the point of paranoia.

“Well, don’t think too much about it. Didn’t Professor Martin say that we have to explore it ourselves? There’s no hurry.”

“Yes.” Sophia nodded, her expression unreadable.

“It’s late, why don’t… we rest as well?” Aiden asked tentatively.

“I can’t take it anymore!!”

Before Sophia could speak, a muffled growl came from the bed beside her.

Alarmed, Aiden turned to see the covers pulled back and from the bed. Eddie was sitting on the bed, looking at him unhappily.

“F*ck your brother, this is too much! I’m still here, and you actually want to touch Miss Sophia?”

Aiden stared at him with wide eyes, momentarily at a loss for words.

The air was strangely quiet. No one in the room moved.

Judging from Eddie’s reaction just now, he should have been awake for some time.

As for when he woke up…

“You…” Finally, Aiden broke the silence. “When did you wake up?”

“Just now.” Eddie grinned and looked at the two of them teasingly.

“I didn’t expect to see the two of you hugging here the moment I woke up. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

“What time was that?!” Aiden stepped forward. He had to make sure he knew exactly how much Eddie had heard.

“When Professor Martin first came in.”

Aiden’s heart skipped a beat. “You heard everything?”

“I heard it!” Speaking of this, Eddie became excited. He jumped up from the bed with a whoosh and shouted while dancing, “F*ck my brother, is Professor Martin that heavy-hearted? He doesn’t even let go of wild beasts…”

Aiden and Sophia looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes. Professor Martin had just said that he had given Eddie a paralysis potion, but Eddie did not look dispirited at all. Could it be that the potion did not work on him?

‘What do I do?’

It was obviously impossible to alert Professor Martin now. He still had a Fool with him. Once he went berserk, it was equivalent to having another enemy.

Should I inject Eddie with the drug?

Aiden looked at the syringe in his hand. This probably wouldn’t work.It would just agitate Eddie instead.

Just as he was hesitating, Eddie, who was chattering non-stop, suddenly came over with a curious expression. “By the way, what are the ferocious beasts you’re talking about?”

Aiden’s heart clenched. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say when he saw Eddie’s curious face.

He did not know if he was testing him, just like the killing beast that appeared in the storeroom earlier, with the intention of a cat playing with a mouse.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Eddie said excitedly, “And what’s the ability you’re talking about? It sounds so awesome. F*ck, are you the mutants mentioned in the movie?”

‘Er…’

Aiden was stunned as he looked at Eddie, who was dancing with excitement.

“Eddie, don’t you think all this is a little…” Aiden paused, searching for the right word. “A little crazy?”

“F*ck, what are you talking about?!” Eddie glared at him. “This is too awesome!”

“Think about it. Just like in the movies, you have all kinds of domineering skills to deal with small monsters. F*ck! Just thinking about it makes me excited!”

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and his face fell. “Um, do I have any awesome abilities?”

Now, Aiden was completely relieved.

This guy was a Fool.
