In fact, when Zhou Mo Sen confirmed that it was the Sonoran Toad.

Everything made sense!

First of all, this explained why drug detection couldn't detect it.

In fact, this is the most acclaimed aspect of the Sonoran Toad.

Although the United States' medical and technological capabilities are indeed impressive.

The police also really aren't bad.

The level of drug detection can definitely be said to be the best on Earth.

However.

Even being the best, there are limits.

If you truly delve into this area, you'll discover that there is a long list for police drug testing.

It covers most of the drugs available in the market.

However, the Sonoran Toad secretes a biological toxin, which is 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT).

This substance is indeed a controlled drug, known as toad venom.

But it's not on the United States police drug testing list.

That means, the toad venom can certainly be tested for, yet, it doesn't exist on that list.

So, it's like the United States police can't detect it.

Then, from a certain perspective.

Is this legal in the United States?

Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it.

Anyway, Zhou Mo Sen knew about the Sonoran Toad because he later watched the news from the United States during the pandemic.

It was then that an announcement came out, warning Americans not to lick the toad.

Actually, from this announcement, it's entirely possible to conclude.

United States law really isn't concerned about this matter, because if United States law prohibited it, there would be no need for such a public notice.

Right, the logic is very simple.

If it was illegal, folks would just be arrested upon detection.

And interestingly, this announcement in the past was a warning for American dogs.

Meaning dog owners should pay attention, don't let their dogs lick.

To be fair, dogs really love licking the Sonoran Toad.

So, earlier notices were still reliable.

But later, the protagonist of the notice became the Americans.

This...

Even the Sonoran Toad probably didn't expect humans to be so perverse.

Sure, dogs or other animals are understandable, right.

But Americans too...

It's truly disgusting to the core.

And secondly.

This is crucial.

Zhou Mo Sen is a doctor, yet even he heard about the toad because of that later announcement from the United States.

What about ordinary people?

That's correct, even in the United States, most people do not know of this existence.

Okay, this range can extend to the whole world.

The majority of humanity on Earth really does not know about the existence of the Sonoran Toad.

And even less know about the effects of the substances it secretes.

Additionally, if you've played a certain game, you might recall this creature.

The Sonoran Toad is actually a desert toad.

It's indeed a toad, but it lives in the desert.

Therefore, not only does it require the desert, but also needs water.

Hence... California truly is the best habitat for this creature.

Is Palm Springs not a perfect fit?

But are there many?

Perhaps there used to be a lot, but Zhou Mo Sen heard probably within ten years, this creature has become an endangered species.

And with that...

Mysterious!

The number of people who know about this toad is already few, and even fewer know about its effects, plus its habitat is rather peculiar.

These three conditions... add another condition.

Licking this thing is really disgusting!

With these four conditions coming together, isn't it naturally linked to 'mystery'?

After hearing about the Sonoran Toad, Zhou Mo Sen investigated.

There are indeed certain cults in the United States associated with this thing.

And this is why, when Zhou Mo Sen saw Bishop's state, and that pitiful toad.

He immediately thought of the Sonoran Toad.

However, thinking further… the reason the United States issued such a notice during the pandemic.

Is because many Americans were already aware of the toad's effects, some even deliberately captured them for breeding.

Causing this creature to become an endangered species.

But now, it's nearly twenty years until that pandemic period.

Therefore, Bishop leveraging this toad to create such a grand setup for Descent Sect.

It makes complete sense!

Especially those wealthy and powerful individuals supporting Bishop.

After all, taking those drugs is illegal, but licking this toad isn't illegal in the United States.

Hmm, maybe they don't even have to lick it directly, they might use other methods.

So, the perverse deficiency might not exist.

Of course, if there really is someone who insists on licking, the kind that pursues fundamentalist beliefs.

Probably Bishop wouldn't stop them.

And seeing here, there's more than one toad.

What's next???

Actually, the rest of the matter doesn't require Zhou Mo Sen to waste more brain cells.

The Governor's Wife heard the name of the toad, of course, she asked Zhou Mo Sen what this thing was.

As a doctor, Zhou Mo Sen naturally had to showcase his knowledge and talents.

Introducing the Sonoran Toad clearly, but at this moment.

Bishop also got into the act.

The whole person wandered around like a zombie.

Truly resembling a zombie.

The Governor's Wife seeing this scene, basically figured it all out.

In such a large state as California, who knows how many upper-class citizens are linked with Descent Sect.

And they... are in such disgrace, even licking the toad.

This is a major scandal!

Thinking about all this, Maria, the Governor's Wife, was already very clear.

No matter what, Descent Sect cannot be preserved!

But...

The Governor's Wife looked at Zhou Mo Sen.

Our Dr. Zhou instantly understood, "Governor's Wife, our visit this time is to see Senator Zhao, she suffers from diabetes, and my treatment method..."

Needless to say!

Got it!

The Governor's Wife smiled lightly, "That's right! Just like that! Senator Zhao must be planning..."

Looked at Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying naturally understood immediately, "Madam, I have already made up my mind to accept Dr. Zhou's new diabetes treatment plan!"

Settled!

The Governor's Wife nodded, the meaning was clear.

And about Descent Sect... very straightforward!

"This Bishop even clashes with the FBI! Treats United States law as nothing! Really enraging! Investigate! Thoroughly investigate!"

Yes, just leave it to the FBI.

Of course, now the DEA is also involved.

However, the Governor's Wife's attitude is very clear.

We must hide the toad licking matter.

Simply put, those big figures' reputation still needs some care.

Let Descent Sect be destroyed.

Anyway, as long as there's an investigation, many 'things' will undoubtedly be discovered.

At this point, Zhou Mo Sen could be said to have scored a huge victory.

Except when he considers those dignified and powerful big names.

Following a madman in a secret chamber licking toads.

That image... tsk, tsk, tsk, truly too American!
