It was the sixth day of Maeve Vance's seven-day contract with Lab C.
As long as Subject 1152 survived past midnight, she would successfully pass the lab's ultimate trial.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Maeve arrived punctually at his room on Sub-Level 4.
Stepping through the door, she asked about his condition as usual.
"Mr. Woods, how are you feeling today?"
Subject 1152 lay quietly on the bed, not offering any response like he had over the past few days.
Maeve immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She hurried to the bedside and checked for a breath.
To her shock, Subject 1152 had stopped breathing.
That was impossible.
Maeve was incredibly confident in the specialized medicine she had developed. Guaranteeing him another seven days of life shouldn't have been a problem.
It was only the sixth day. How could he have died so suddenly?
To prevent any sabotage, she had installed a surveillance system in the room.
She quickly pulled up the security footage on the monitor.
The screen showed that from the time Subject 1152 returned to his room yesterday afternoon until his death, absolutely no one had entered.
Due to his frail health, he relied entirely on nutrient injections to sustain his life.
Maeve formulated the nutrients herself and personally administered the injections every day when she visited.
This meant that aside from his scheduled outdoor recreation time, he hadn't come into contact with anyone but her.
No murder, no poisoning, yet Subject 1152 had died under bizarre circumstances?
Knowing there was no point in hiding or evading the truth, Maeve reported the incident.
Upon receiving the news, Simon Grover swiftly arrived at the room, bringing Connor Yates and Audrey Sinclair with him.
Along with them came several executives from Sub-Level 4, including Victor from the logistics department.
"How long has he been dead?" Simon asked the moment he walked in.
