Chapter 540 Chapter 540 " They really went crazy ? " Sawyer asked , still in shock . " All of them ? " +25 BONUS Jackson pursed his lips , feeling a twinge of guilt . " Yeah , not a single one survived . It was a total wipeout . " "How did it happen ? Wrong research direction ? Dosage problem ? " Sawyer asked . He had considered using Zolantix Pharmaceuticals ' labs and team to develop a targeted drug for Sylvia . But such projects weren't just expensive . They took years from design to testing to approval . Sylvia's condition , while somewhat stable , was unpredictable .

One wrong moment , and she could spiral out of control and be lost forever . Sawyer also feared that , like Jackson , he could make things worse instead of better . Jackson explained , " Originally , a few of the outlaws could still communicate , though their emotions and speech were distorted . After they took the drug , their mouths twisted and eyes skewed ! They say some were even sent out to kill , but couldn't do it properly and ended up getting killed themselves . " He sighed . " I really don't know what the researchers did . " Sawyer was beyond speechless . Sylvia smiled awkwardly .

She sneaked a glance at her pillbox , wary of someone messing with her pills . She might be mentally ill , but she couldn't stand ending up twisted - eyed . " So they never resumed research in this area ? " Sawyer asked . " No. " When Jackson grew serious , he actually looked like a proper old gentleman again . " You have to understand , those devices that link to the human mind aren't entirely accurate . That's exactly why AI can never truly replace humans . " Developing such drugs requires massive amounts of precise data . Where does the data come from ?

From the patients through speech or writing . But these are mentally ill people . Just getting them to communicate coherently is already a challenge . Expecting precise feedback after taking a drug is impossible . " Of course , some patients - like Sylvia - can speak clearly and think logically when lucid . But most of those patients have families . Think about it . Would you let Sylvia be a test subject ? " Jackson shook his head . " Trial drugs are dangerous . Even ordinary drugs can be fatal during testing .

And in the early stages , these experimental drugs usually make people even more unstable . Even if there are volunteers , ten aren't enough . " Developing the drug requires collecting an enormous amount of data . You get what I mean . It's like there's almost no medicine in the world safe for pregnant women because no pregnant woman can or would risk it for testing . " But don't stress . Great undertakings need great people . We're just not those people , " Jackson said , reassuring Sawyer .

1/2 Chapter 540 +25 BONUS He knew very well that Sawyer must have considered developing his own drugs to treat Sylvia . That was why Jackson had tried to talk him out of it . What if he made Sylvia's condition worse ? Jackson looked at Sylvia . " Listen to me . Being mentally ill is far better than being crazy . " Sylvia frowned . " ... Is there really a difference ? " To most people , mental illness was craziness , and vice versa . " Mental illness is a disorder of the mind . When you're not in an episode , you're normal .

But you're destined to be unhappy because your brain still goes through phases of rational thought . " Lunatics , however , are different . Their brain's control system is broken . It's like a computer gone haywire . You press ' shutdown ' , but it decides to play some random pornographic video instead .
