REVENGE AFTER DEATH - Season 5 Episode 48

I looked up abruptly, belatedly coming to my senses. “I’m fine…”

“Your health is fine. Everything’s good,” the doctor reassured. “Oh, and the results from the health department’s tests came back clear too.”

“Phew! We really dodged a bullet… “Rachel sighed in relief.

“The health department?” I furrowed my brows.

“They discovered that the crazed headmaster from the special school has AIDS. Also, among the people who were locked up with us, one has AIDS, and three have infectious diseases,” Rachel explained. “Quinn was found to be a carrier of the AID virus. Her husband, Callum, was promiscuous and abusive. Not only did he engage in high-risk sexual intercourse, but he was also abusive and alcoholic… Quinn was infected by him.”

I gasped in disbelief. It seemed that we had been exposed to a high risk of infection given the circumstances, especially for those who were stabbed by Quinn.

“Rach! Have you taken the test?” I instinctively grabbed Rachel’s wrist. She was one of the people Quinn had stabbed. If she had any contact with Quinn’s blood…

“I have, and I’m clear. Don’t worry, Stephie,” Rachel quickly assured me, then laughed. “What are the odds? I should probably go buy a lottery ticket, haha!”

I was stunned for a moment, rendered speechless

Before anyone realized that Quinn and others were carriers of AIDS, no one would have thought of taking antiretroviral drugs. By the time the results came out positive for AIDS, it was likely already past the optimal time for prevention.

“Sir, Yasmin has contracted AIDS and is currently in a state of collapse. Michael is watching over her,” Ewan whispered in Steven’s ear as he arrived to pick us up from the hospital.

I sat numbly on the edge of the bed.

Yasmin had contracted AIDS… It was as though Quinn had done it intentionally. Since Yasmin couldn’t be killed for now, Quinn had inflicted another form of suffering upon her. She infected her with a highly contagious yet incurable disease.

“Both the contraction of AIDS and

the recent killing spree were keptztop secret, yet Jimmy somehow learned about it… How did the news of Yasmin being infected with AIDS spread?” I asked Ewan.

Ewan took out his phone. “Someone deliberately posted it online. We tracked the ID, and it was from overseas. The police suspect it’s Quinn.”

Since Quinn had been exposed, she had nothing to fear, so she posted online:

behind the killing game. I’m truly a pitiful woman. My family favored boys over girls, so I was left at my grandmother’s place when I was young.

“My parents didn’t care about me, and I was drained of all my worth. I was eventually married off to a worthless scoundrel in exchange for 1,000 dollars.

“Not only did my husband abuse me,

but he also maliciously infected me with AIDS. Thanks to him, I felt a despair I’d never experienced before in this world. My despair ended when I learned about Project Zero.

“This world is too dark. There are simply too many maggots that need to be cleaned out, so we planned this killing game. I was hiding among the players in this game.

“And at the end of the game, I used a knife—stained with my blood— to stab several survivors. Namely, Yasmin Bailey, Rachel Qualls, Steven Lincoln, and Stephany Larson.”

Quinn seemed to deliberately spread the news online.

I looked at Steven worriedly. He shook his head and assured me, “I won’t be infected with the HIV virus. Because of the genome editing, I’m naturally immune.”

“Then why Rachel and I— ” I asked, puzzled. My eyes met Rachel’s.

Stephany Larson and Stephanie Carlson were experiment clones of the same embryo. Since Stephanie was a completely genetically modified experimental body, was Stephany one too?

If my current body had also undergone genetic enhancement and editing, then I was immune to AIDS. But Rachel…

Rachel looked a little scared and quickly declared, “It’s just my luck.”
