Brick Norty raised his eyebrows, surprised by Fein's proposal. "Are you serious? You want to inject me with that serum? You know what happened to me the last time I didn't listen to your warnings." He reminded Fein, his voice laced with a hint of skepticism.
Fein nodded, his expression firm. "I am serious. We need to test the serum on someone with experience and knowledge, and who better than my closest friend and research partner?"
Brick Norty crossed his arms and let out a deep sigh. "I don't know, Fein. The last time we experimented with something like this, I almost lost my mind and turned into a monster. I don't want to take that risk again."
Fein placed a hand on Brick Norty's shoulder, his tone comforting. "I know, and I'm sorry for what happened to you. But this time, we have perfected the formula, and we have the soul artifact to ensure that your soul remains intact. Trust me, I wouldn't suggest this if I didn't believe in it."
