They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 587: Most Unsual

Nnenna waited until the door clicked shut, then stepped further inside. Her eyes roamed every corner carefully.

The riddle ledhere. But I've searched this place countless times already. What am | missing?

She let out a slow breath, forcing herself to focus. Her gaze swept across the neat shelves, the bed, the cabinet,

the walls... searching for anything that didn’t belong.

Suddenly, her eyes landed on a box by the bedside.

Isn’t that where Carl's medicine is kept?

Nnenna'’s steps slowed as she approached, her thoughts racing. I've searched this room a hundred times...

everywhere but that medicine box. | assumed it was safe since Carl andare the only ones with the password.

Her gaze flicked toward his unconscious face, her chest tightening. But what if we're not the only one who has

access to it, Carl? What if we just don’t know?

She grabbed the sleek box and pressed her index finger against the scanner. A soft click echoed in the quiet

room, and the lid slid open with obedient ease.

"What do we have here?" she murmured under her breath.

Inside lay several small vials neatly arranged, each labeled in Carl's careful handwriting. She picked one up,

holding it against the light, her eyes narrowing.

So this is the medicine you created for yourself... She uncapped it, brought it close, and inhaled.

The sharp, alien scent made her brows knit. "As expected," she whispered. "None of these are medicines known

to man. You really did create something unique to manage your condition."

Her grip on the vial tightened. But if someone tampered with this, just one drop of something else slipped in, it

could explain everything. Maybe this is where the poison hides.

She set the vial back into the box, her mind whirring. I'll have to test them. Maybe I'll finally find something that

shouldn't be here. Maybe | can crack this mystery before truns out.

Her eyes hardened as she closed the box with a click. Whoever touched this without Carl's knowledge... I'll find

you.

She opened another drawer and pulled out a small testing kit. Trust Carl, she thought with the faintest smile, a

man who loves his work would keep everything handy, even here in his bedroom.

With practiced care, she drew small samples from each vial, her hands steady, her expression unreadable. The

glass clinked softly as she arranged them back into the box in perfect order, hiding all traces of disturbance.

"I have a good feeling about this one, Carl," she whispered, holding one particular vial between her fingers. She

slipped it into her pocket before shutting the box and placing it back exactly as she had found it.

Her next stop was clear.

The south wing of the castle.

It didn’t take long before she reached the laboratory, its door sliding open under her presence. Her breath caught

for a moment as she stepped inside.

Rows of polished counters gleamed under hanging brass lamps, each surface covered with glass beakers, test

tubes, and carefully labeled instruments.

Tall shelves stacked with rare herbs, minerals, and chemicals lined the walls, and in the center stood advanced

equipment she had only seen in research centers.

Nnenna’s eyes swept across the room in quiet awe. This isn’t just a lab... this is a fortress of science. Whoever

set this up made sure Carl lacked nothing.

Her lips curved faintly, but her eyes stayed sharp as she moved toward the main counter. "Perfect," she

muttered. "Let's see what secrets you've been hiding."

Nnenna set the vial on the counter and carefully drew the liquid into thin glass tubes. Her motions were precise,

practiced, no wasted movements.

She ran the first basic separations, then heated tiny drops over flto watch the reactions. One by one,

familiar results appeared, the score compounds Carl had once explained to her.

She remembered his voice as clearly as if he were standing beside her:

"The symptoms align with poisoning... but it doesn’t match anything I've ever classified. Cyanosis without

pulmonary obstruction. Paralysis creeping faster than a neurotoxin, yet not as direct. The pain—" she could

almost see his hand trembling as he had admitted, "—is localized, then migrates. Whatever this is, it mimics

known toxins, but doesn’t behave like them."

Her jaw tightened as she cross checked the readings against her notes of his formula. Everything matched what

Carl had said he designed: the stabilizing compound, the mild analgesic, the regulator for his unique condition.

Nothing was off, until the third slide under her microscope.

Her eyes narrowed.

There it was.

A trace element glowing faintly under the reagent, something that should never have been there.

"Arsenide derivative..." she whispered. "But masked, altered. Someone spliced it in."

Her pulse quickened, though her face remained calm. Based on Carl's design, this additive was not just foreign,

it was lethal.

His formula was meant to hold his

condition steady, to slow the strange

"Smart," she muttered bitterly. "They didn’t introduce a new poison, they contaminated his cure. The one thing

he trusted most."

And that meant the enemy was closer than she had dared to imagine.

Nnenna stood in the quiet laboratory, staring at the test results that confirmed her suspicion. "Arsenide

Her gut dragged her back to the sperson again and again, Nanny.

She exhaled slowly, wiped her hands, and left the lab. Her footsteps carried her straight across the castle

courtyard until she reached the servants’ building.

The air there was different, quieter, shadows hanging along the walls.
