What surprised Zheng Qing was that Professor Monteria did not directly draw blood to analyze whether Zheng Qing was really caught in some blood curse, but started to check it from his eyes.
Because just last year, it was probably this period of time - Zheng Qing couldn't remember it very clearly, and about the first or second week of school after the winter vacation last year - he went to the lab of "Bloodline Research and Advanced Magical Art Analysis" because of blood stasis in his eyes for the first time, and asked Professor Monteria to help check his eyes.
The examination results were not clear at that time. The professor just vaguely judged that there was a force in Zheng Qing's body that did not belong to him. Because of the "improper borrowing", the force overflowed and caused a certain degree of backlash on his body, resulting in blood marks in his eyes.
This time, and Professor Monteria has just advanced to the great wizard, he will naturally start from the direction he has checked.
"Have you ever had blood stasis in your eyes recently?"
"No...no."
"What about swelling or other irritating sensations?"
“No, either.”
"Have you received bloodline transformation or similar bloodline treatment in the past year? Well, if it involves privacy, you can simply answer it."
"No!"
Zheng Qing answered this last question very simply.
It is true that after Professor Monteria checked his eyes for a few months, he accidentally exploded due to some accident, but in the end, the gentleman gave him a body that was almost exactly the same - at least when he felt that it was no different from before, so when the boy answered "No", the boy was quite confident.
The professor took off the monocle glasses with gold frames, took out a roll of leather from his handbag, spread them out, and inserted silver needles of different lengths and thicknesses inside. They were not short and not inch long, and were nearly one foot long. Instead, he did not ask Zheng Qing to close his eyes, he pulled out silver needles and stuck them into the acupoints in the male witch's body, especially on his face.
Zheng Qing didn't even need to use the corner of his eyes to see a few slender silver needles shaking tremblingly on his face. He guessed that the professor should have wanted to do further examination by cutting off his blood and energy.
"...Do you have any clues about the power in your body?" The professor continued to ask while pricking.
Zheng Qing hesitated a little, but finally shook his head.
He could not tell others about the forbidden curse.
"Don't know."
The boy answered vaguely, worried that the professor would continue to ask questions and how to cover up himself, but the professor seemed to believe his answer directly and did not ask more. Instead, he mentioned the copper bean.
"...About your experience at the banquet, Councillor Su has briefly described the relevant situation. I have also read the records of the school hospital and the Trichou Sword. According to your words, the copper bean is directly 'transformed' into your body and then disappears, right?"
When he said these words, Professor Monteria's face was very close to Zheng Qing. He was still making minor adjustments to the positions of the silver needles to capture the changes in the flow of blood and qi in Zheng Qing's body more accurately.
Zheng Qing noticed that compared with the past, the professor seemed to have become much younger. Although his skin was still dark yellow, the brown spots on his cheekbones almost disappeared, and the thick bags under his eye sockets also disappeared, leaving the feeling of fatigue that he used to be.
The only two things that remain unchanged are his messy gray hair and his blue-gray eyes.
His eyes were as sharp and deep as ever.
"It's...right." Facing these eyes, Zheng Qing unconsciously avoided his gaze, worried about what the great wizard, who was so close to him, saw in his eyes.
"Do you remember what I said to you after the check last year?" The professor seemed to have not noticed the boy's eyes wandering, his tone and expression did not change at all, and replied to himself: "One of the most fascinating things about magic is that things that don't have brains often have their own thoughts; things that seem to think often have no brains; and there are often many things that do not belong to you in your own brains... That bean is something that doesn't have brains."
This conclusion immediately aroused the interest of boys.
"You mean, it has its own thoughts?"
“Or it is more appropriate to call it ‘behavioral logic’.”
The professor corrected the boy's words, and at the same time changed his taciturn words before, and analyzed it in detail: "According to your words, that copper bean is the method of the crows, and according to the news of the Three-pointed Sword, the crow conducted an illegal human body transformation experiment... In other words, the crow wants to transform you... Although I don't know much about the "crow" you mentioned, based on my understanding of blood, if you want to complete human body transformation and achieve blood evolution, it does not require very precise surgery or magic rituals. In many cases, only a bone or a drop of blood can be completed.
In the distance, some alchemy schools from a long time ago would remove a bone in the wizard's body and replace it with a bone of the dragon clan, a green phoenix, or even a unicorn, and obtain extraordinary magical constitution through alien magic erosion. Later, due to the decrease of magical creatures, these wizards set their sights on the same wizards, those more talented people, dig off their spines, replace their hearts, and even bones throughout the body... Because these methods are too bad, this genre has almost disappeared in the alliance, and only some ancient wizard families may remain.
Recently, for example, the blood clan and werewolf of the Moonless Council can transform ordinary wizards or even Bai Ding into real blood clans and werewolfs through biting. Of course, I know that many people will say that this method is similar to the transformation of demons, but unlike the violent erosion of demons, the transformation of blood clans is more gentle and secret. The difference lies in the blood. The blood clans mix their blood with the blood of the transformed person and perform "gradual dyeing" and artificially lengthen the transformation cycle to reduce the risk of losing control.
In this process, that bone or drop of blood contains the original owner's 'a certain will' or 'a certain concept', which you can simply understand as genetic information at the soul level...and that information is the root cause of the 'behavior logic' I mentioned."
Hearing this, Zheng Qing finally had a deeper understanding of the principle of the copper bean, and subconsciously pinched the glass closest to it.
Bang!
The crisp burst of the cup interrupted the professor's words and echoed clearly in the living room.
Su Shijun, who had originally listened to it, had a smile on her face and gestured to Zheng Qing with a V expressionless face, and even clamped it, as if a scissor wanted to cut off the male witch's hand.
Only Zheng Qing understood it. The Miss Congressman meant that the glass cup had two jade coins, and he would not bargain.
