It is indeed not easy to enter the laboratory of pathogenology, however, it's not too difficult as they thought. The lab keeper immediately lets them in after hearing Payneth's excuses. And here they are, walking down the deserted hallway of the laboratory.

"Ugh... here it is, the typical pathology lab smell." George covers his nose as he passes through a room. "It makes me suffocate!"
182Please respect copyright.PENANA9vLCrHP1CF
"A mixture of many animals' feces, perhaps." Payneth also covers her nose. "We should have used the Hyper Tight Bubble Helmet earlier! Damn, I forget it!"
182Please respect copyright.PENANA3kAxqCcgel
*) On this Planet, instead of using mask, the people wear bubble helmet whose utility is the same as mask, yet allow them to breathe more comfortably than wearing mask. Made by bubble, they can burst the bubble helmet once they stop using it.

"Now I understand the difficulties of those who work in the medical field!" George continues. "Hmm... but... in this lab... can Jupiter be hiding the other biological weapons, besides the ones in Mist Laboratory?"
182Please respect copyright.PENANArRXGouKgQL
"No. I'm sure of it. They won't create biological weapons in their own country. They only produce those damn things in the countries under their level which try to lick their ass, for example Pluto. So if something goes wrong, then it is those poor citizens who will die, not Jupiterians."

"Geez! Such a bunch of evil guys!"
182Please respect copyright.PENANA5JBWCZSDTK
"Well... We have been so close to the Transmitter... hey, we still have to get into this room?..."
182Please respect copyright.PENANA0se2jN07tE
Located at the end of the hall, the room is the largest one in this sectiom, but it is dark and tightly locked. Payneth tries to fiddle with the keyhole. "It requires a special key..."
182Please respect copyright.PENANAoHhi8hhAla
"Really? Let me see." George observes the keyhole.
182Please respect copyright.PENANA1bdR1Ftg6y
"What are you guys doing there?!"
182Please respect copyright.PENANAJaHihoTfGJ
Hearts pumping fast, Payneth and George turn around. A middle-aged man is staring at them, eyes full of suspicious gaze.

"What are you two doing?" The man asks again.
182Please respect copyright.PENANAhrzagvN787
Payneth quickly gives a reply, "Sorry Sir, we have left our stuff there, so we need to enter inwards..."
182Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ1UYFVZZ3
"Don't you know that the room is forbidden for anyone to enter?" The man steps closer to them. "What do you actually mean with such kind of excuse?"
182Please respect copyright.PENANAFinJDuIpX6
Payneth and George look at each other. The next second, they run fast, and grab the man in a flash.
182Please respect copyright.PENANAUVxybSIGbF
"What the... uuugghhhh!" Payneth has gagged the middle-aged man's mouth. Meanwhile, George binds his hands together. Payneth orders coldly, "Give me the key. Right now!"
182Please respect copyright.PENANAXCDM9pkPur
The man soon wriggles hard to get free. George points his penknife. "Hand it to us, quick! Or else... you know the consequences!"
182Please respect copyright.PENANApgbOJMwExw
"I don't have it!" The man shouts like a madman.
182Please respect copyright.PENANAwxwER1zlsv
"Impossible! From the way you talk, it's crystal clear that you know where the key is!" Payneth shouts. George brings the knife closer to the man's neck, too close it even only needs a few millimeters to squeeze his neck. In the end, the man nods slightly. He takes them to the office where the key is being kept.
182Please respect copyright.PENANAb3uwveF7lM
"Here!" The man hands it over roughly.
182Please respect copyright.PENANAK1qEFWKciZ
"Only this? Do you tell the truth?" George's eyes narrow suspiciously.
182Please respect copyright.PENANAHTcxl2V82b
"For God's sake, I tell the truth!"
182Please respect copyright.PENANAvp60IJA4YR
Snorting in annoyance, George still grabs the man's both hands, so that if they find that the key is the wrong one, they can still force him to bear the consequences. On the other hand, Payneth puts the key into the keyhole, and opens it.
182Please respect copyright.PENANAL4XiVe6f1Q
The door slides open. Payneth gasps. The scene dominated by various kinds of strange creatures in the cages soon captures her vision. This is... the room of pathogen sources!... Then, what George said is true?!182Please respect copyright.PENANAyH9NaNtVZ3
