The Bored Immortal

Chapter 386 - The Mysterious Drug

Taya sighed as she looked at the syringe with the strange dark and glowing red liquid in it, "This is an experimental drug that I created in my pursuit of immortality during my years of research. This obviously wouldn't grant the benefits I am looking for, but I have refined it into a stable state where it will grant you certain boosts to your system for a short period of time," Taya said with a fixed gaze.

Eva pulled her brows together as she asked, "What kind of boosts exactly, big sis?"

"Enhanced strength and reflexes. Of course, with increased strength, your body would be more durable as well. You might even be able to take on a couple of ordinary bullets without real harm. But all these effects would only last for a few dozen minutes, after which your body will get hit by a strong wave of fatigue and numbness in some areas. That is why you must not...use this syringe unless you are in real danger," Taya stressed the word 'must' since she wanted to make sure that Eva would understand how this syringe was a double-edged sword.

Still, Eva was astonished since never in her dreams did she expect that there could be a drug like this in a stable condition where the only side effect was inevitable exhaustion or, worst case, going into a languid state.

But considering the advantage of boosted strength and reflexes, she could only imagine how useful this could be in emergency situations.

However, Eva could feel how serious Taya was about the conditions of using this syringe and nodded firmly, "I understand, big sis. I won't use it unless necessary. But is there more of this? What if I inject myself twice to extend the amount of time?" She curiously asked.

Taya had her eyebrows raised upon hearing her question but knew that Eva was no doctor and thus explained in a serious tone, "That is something you absolutely should not do. That is why I am only giving you one syringe so that you won't accidentally use it twice. Otherwise, if you took two, then there will be serious side effects ranging from being rendered unconscious immediately to serious internal injuries that would take at least weeks to recover from. Anything beyond two is practically suicide."

"Oh…" Eva understood how dangerous this strange liquid could be, though she would never disobey Taya's words.

"When did big sis come up with this? Was it after Viktor knew about your research?" Eva asked since she thought that Taya had closed up her lab.

Taya shook her head as she said, "I already had this for a while even before Viktor returned, but I never focused on it since it was not what I was looking for exactly. Still, I stashed it away, thinking it might come in handy some other time, and now I suddenly remembered about this and thought that it could probably help us with our mission. I had told Viktor about this drug and even tested it on him. He was impressed by it but strictly told me not to go over the limit. That is why I also will only be carrying one syringe with me. I don't want to accidentally tempt myself. Anyway, let's hope we don't even have to use it."

The skies were shrouded in darkness, the moon hidden behind the dark clouds as multiple slender figures were zooming through the skies silently.

With Umilia's help, she was able to make the others fly along with her while making sure nobody could see them.

Just as they were about to reach the godown, Umilia descended on the roof of the tallest building nearby so that Eva could set up her sniper and scout for information to know what they would be dealing with.

Umilia was dressed in her elegant and noble white witch attire with a veil to cover her face, while Nyissa was also in her mystical black attire with a veil to cover her face as well.

Eva was dressed in a black spandex suit, while Taya was wearing her white-grayish suit with a hood and a half mask to cover her face.

Anybody who catches sight of these four would surely won't dare to stay near for a second longer, even if their curvy figures were quite a sight to admire.

"Eva, what do you see?" Taya asked after Eva scanned the godown using her powerful sniper.

After carefully scanning the building, Eva reported, "I see ten heavily armed guards surrounding the perimeter and ten more on the roof. But even with my thermal sensor, I can't see how many are inside. It seems they have lined up the walls and everything on the outside with some material to prevent such sensors from picking up anything."

"But we all can guess that there will surely be more guards on the inside. Quite some security for an ordinary godown. Eva, you can hack the cameras, right? Our best option is to take down the guards on the outside smoothly without raising any alarms. And then use the building's blueprint to figure out the least resistance way inside," Taya said while Umilia and Nyissa nodded. They knew Taya and Eva were experienced enough to infiltrate such buildings while they weren't used to such things.

Eva already had her laptop ready beside her as she checked the screen and said, "I already have access to the cameras, all thanks to the program Sayana wrote for me."

"She doesn't know, right?" Umilia asked in a concerned voice.

"No. She doesn't know for what her program would be used. All she knows is that it is probably for my official work," Eva reassured, making Umilia feel relieved.

"But what about that witch who practices death arts? Is she present anywhere near the building?" Nyissa asked with a narrowed gaze as everybody knit their brows since that woman would probably be their biggest problem in this situation.
