Chewing these two words, Zheng Qing was a little confused.
Of course, he was really confused now that he was hanging in the air.
The voice that echoed above the altar did not pause for a moment due to the boy's astonishment, and continued to explain in a mechanical and dull tone: "——You are very special. I have learned this since you entered my laboratory in your freshman year.
I realized it. But I didn’t have any other ideas at the time. It was just because of my friendship with Yuexia Council, because when you came to my laboratory, you took a letter of introduction from Representative Su. Of course, I didn’t realize that your relationship with Representative Su was so close.
complex……"
"What happened next?" Zheng Qing had to interrupt the professor's slightly off-track explanation.
"Later you went to the Black Prison."
Professor Monteria calmly repeated his thoughts, as if talking about someone else's affairs: "——When you came out of the black prison, I realized that you are more important than I thought. So we need you.
Coincidentally, with some extra help, our experiment has made great progress. We have developed an inhibitor that can curb the symptoms of physical collapse caused by the invasion of demon blood. Gan Ning knows what I am thinking, and he also knows that I can still
I was hesitating. So he helped me make up my mind and planted a spiritual seed on you at that dinner party.
His idea is very simple. After you become our experimental subject, in order to obtain inhibitors and save your life, you must reach a certain degree of cooperation with us... Maybe there may be some unpleasantness at first, but this matter will eventually lead to a "combination of two"
Develop in the direction of profit. Because that spiritual seed will greatly increase your physical strength and magic affinity, and even help you smoothly pass the advanced risk period."
"But I don't need inhibitors."
Zheng Qing slowly followed the professor's train of thought, and with a hint of surprise, he speculated: "...Then you think the reason why I didn't lose control or physically collapse was because your experimental plan was right?"
The mechanical sound above the altar fell silent.
Center of the altar.
The witch, who had not made any movement until now, nodded slightly, but still did not speak.
"Really...a sad answer."
Zheng Qing continued his analysis with some pity and gloating: "So, you thought your experiment was successful, and then you started to implement the transformation plan on a large scale internally? Gan Ning? Thomas? Who else accepted the transformation?"
This time, the professor denied the boy's guess.
"No, none."
The voice that echoed in the grotto was as calm as ever: "In the past, we have conducted experiments on sub-intelligent races, and it is naturally the same this time. It's just that the ogres who have been transformed according to the new plan are in a much better situation than before.
Improvement, but it is still impossible to avoid the result of physical body collapse. As a result of everyone's internal discussion, it is believed that the most likely reason is that the materials of the experimental subjects are too inferior and cannot meet the minimum requirements of a stable state. In other words, the experimental subjects of the new plan need at least
Only wizards above your level can succeed."
"Wow...it's hard to find 'material' like me."
The boy's tone was somewhat sympathetic - this was not ridicule at all, because he knew what his situation was - this was no longer "difficult to find", but a situation where there was no second special case at all.
Naturally, the crows don't know the boy's true situation.
However, adhering to the strategy of "treating the enemy with leniency", they still put forward a series of conditions for experimental subjects that meet the requirements for transformation: such as being young, being talented enough (students born at public expense for two consecutive years), being male, etc.
It's just that after the screening, there were only a few crows who met the requirements, and all of them were the most outstanding juniors in the organization.
"——Although everyone thinks that the probability of success of the experiment is high, it is still too risky to conduct experiments with the future of the organization."
Professor Monteria calmly repeated the previous story: "So, in the end, I chose myself. This was not a crazy gamble, but the result of careful consideration. As a senior registered wizard with rich experience and knowledge reserves, as a
The highest person in charge of the entire experimental project, I know the details and taboos of the experiment better than anyone else, and compared to those younger generations, I have stronger control over magic power. Even if something goes wrong, I can still make amends... The only shortcoming is that I no longer have
No longer young. This can be achieved by using certain magic potions to maintain a young and healthy body in the short term."
The boy hanging in the air opened his mouth.
In the end, nothing could be said.
Unconsciously, he suddenly thought of Professor Monteria's other identity - the deputy dean of the Marginal College - even if it was out of rigorous considerations, sacrifice was still a sacrifice. This was probably because he fit the characteristics of the fringe bottom.
The next development was what Zheng Qing had expected.
"——The result of the transformation is not as good as expected, but it is not particularly bad either."
The voice that echoed over the altar remained as mechanical as ever, but now it made people feel much more comfortable: "With the help of the demon flesh and blood, I successfully broke through the shackles and advanced to become a great wizard. At first, everything was
It went so smoothly. After the advancement, I was in very good condition. From the quality of magic power to the spiritual transformation, there was no sign of infection. But this perfect state only lasted a few weeks... My physical body suddenly began to age faster. Listen.
Doesn't it sound a bit like a side effect of 'Edge One'? Yes, Edge One uses many technologies from our laboratory. The young people in the laboratory want to use this method to bring together the strength of the entire school to jointly solve the problem
This problem - of course, this is the long-term solution.
As for the short-term solution, I first tried various potions and magic rituals, including black magic. The results were not satisfactory. The physical body's collapse continued. Until finally, we obtained the artificial Philosopher's Stone through a transaction.
The magic about absorbing life force... In this way, the physical body can be maintained to a certain extent.
Then this semester, you can always hear about some terrible accidents in the Silent Forest."
"What does this have to do with me..." the boy murmured, but he already knew the answer in his heart.
"You are the 'mid-term plan' they gave me."
There seemed to be a bit more gentleness in Professor Monteria's mechanical voice, or it might just be Zheng Qing's illusion: "——Because you are the only 'completely successful' experimental subject in the entire transformation project. So the laboratory infers that there may be something wrong with you.
There are some special substances that can counteract the erosion of demon blood. So we tried various ways to obtain your blood and flesh. This is very difficult and very dangerous...it can easily alarm the school."
