Chapter 318 Curiosity
Thor froze in place, not daring to move.
He did not feel any surprise of pie falling from the sky, but only felt the chill of an endless dark cloud hanging over his head.
Before Thor could make a second reaction, he heard Gorsa chuckle again and his silver eyes narrowed.
"Don't be so nervous. Maybe you will die before that day comes."
Then I would rather choose to inherit your legacy, thank you! Thor did not dare to really complain, he could only lower his head.
"Let's get down to business. What did you find?"
Thor took a deep breath and continued, "After I returned to the second warehouse, I put the puppet on my body as you requested. But when I went to check the corpses, the puppet's eyes suddenly turned black."
"Is there something wrong with the newly sent in body?" Gorsa guessed it immediately.
"Yes, I carefully examined Nick's body and found a subtle mental fluctuation on him. If the puppet you gave me had not really changed, I might have mistaken it for a slight fluctuation caused by the witchcraft array in the sarcophagus."
Gorza leaned against the wall, not feeling too surprised. "Interesting. When we were on guard against hidden enemies, the real problem was the corpses that appeared around you according to the procedure."
He looked down at his hand and saw that the pink bandage on one of his fingers seemed to loosen slightly, but it tightened again before Thor noticed.
"If they are using a corpse to give you hints, the instructions must be very simple."
"I have recorded the fluctuations of my mental power. Teacher, do you think it is possible for us to deduce the meaning of it?"
Thor gave the notes that he had always kept close to him to Gorza, but Gorza just took a look at it and returned it.
"Without any experience with the adapted language and without understanding the basic logic, there may be many possible outcomes if you reverse the process. It's useless," Gorza said. "But I can check for people who moved the body. You don't have to worry about this matter. Start a new experiment as soon as possible. I heard that you applied for a subject for the soul infusion experiment?"
"Yes," Thor said quickly, "but I just asked them to be my assistants and help record some specific reactions."
Gorza waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. The soul infusion experiment will be terminated soon. Facts have proven that for people who can't even advance to level 2 on their own, it's useless even if they get a level 2 body. Just use them as normal consumables."
"Uh, I see."
The tower master wants Thor to conduct experiments without having to worry about the lives of the subjects.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Thor thought he was about to be sent out.
Unexpectedly, Gorza sighed and talked about something else. "Katz should have told you the specific division of labor and progress of the experiment. I think I should also tell you the background of this experiment."
Gorza considered telling Sol last time, but because he was in an unstable condition at the time, he did not tell Soldo.
"The reason for resurrection is, of course, that someone died. But Yula's situation is different. She chose to die on her own initiative."
Voluntarily go to die?
seek death?
Thor's eyes widened, and then he suddenly thought of something, "Could it be an experiment to see if the soul can exist independently of the body?"
"Yes, just for this conjecture..."
Golsa's thoughts gradually drifted to the past.
At that time, he took the initiative to seek marriage with the Principality of Kerma, just to find someone to help him manage the territories that were voluntarily given to him by the other party.
He is a wizard, not a lord, and certainly not one of those useless people who have long lost hope of advancement and can only numb themselves in worldly power and enjoyment.
So who has the patience to manage the territory personally? Of course, it is better to find a helper, and the best helper is naturally the current manager of this territory.
So it can be said that it was only because of Yula's persistence in knowledge that Gorsa looked at her differently and finally chose her.
But within a few years of marriage, Yula's true character was revealed: in addition to being stubborn, she was also extremely bold and dared to experiment with anything.
Especially after Golsa opened the material library to her, some of her wild ideas became possible to implement, so she began even crazier experiments.
Wizards who major in dark witchcraft are always particularly interested in corpses and souls, so Yula's experiments are mostly related to these.
Gorsa did not think it was wrong. Instead, he felt that this was the quality a wizard should have, and he admired Youla even more for it.
It’s a pity that the story did not develop into a sweet and lovely ending.
One day, when Gorsa came back from outside, he saw his little wife with her head cut in half, and her extremely excited soul floating in the air.
Can the soul exist independently of the body?
They had discussed this issue a long time ago, and Gorsa had denied Yula's conjecture at that time. Unexpectedly, this woman would use herself as a test subject to prove to Gorsa that her point of view was correct.
Gorza asked Youla in confusion, why did he kill his body and block all the escape routes when he could already stably leave his body? Youla said that the experimental data without completely leaving the body was inaccurate.
At this point, Golsa shook his head with emotion, "That was the day I completely realized my wife's madness."
Thor was also stunned when he heard this on the other side.
For a hypothesis that has not been verified, he even gave up his own life.
"After the soul leaves the body, the most important thing is to keep it pure and uncontaminated." Gorza continued, "Eula was not unprepared. She prepared many temporary places for herself, which are the standing corpses you saw in the warehouse."
"Before Yura officially killed herself, her soul left her body and possessed everyone one by one to make sure there were no problems. She thought it was foolproof."
However, things took unexpected turns. Although he had been very careful not to be contaminated by any radiation and had entered a body to rest from time to time, Yula's soul still became alienated.
The first symptom was that Youla began to feel that she was no longer herself.
Gorza took over Yula's experiment and kept removing pollution from her spirit, but the pollution kept coming back.
Gorsa immediately announced the termination of the soul independence experiment.
He began to create a stable body for Yula.
However, this experiment did not go smoothly. No matter what kind of body he created, even if he used Euler's flesh and blood to create an almost identical Euler, it was unable to accommodate his soul for long.
After several failed possession experiments, something even more terrifying began to happen. Yura gradually forgot her past memories and insisted that she was just a replica test product created by Gorza.
And she took the scene of Golsa dealing with the replica of Yula as proof of her memory that Golsa killed her.
"It is very difficult to create a container that can permanently accommodate Yula's soul." Gorza sighed, "Since then, I have gathered a group of wizards and recruited a large number of apprentices. I have started the resurrection experiment from the two aspects of purifying the soul and finding a suitable body."
"But decades have passed, and we still haven't found a suitable container that can protect the soul from contamination like the original body."
Having said that, Golsa suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Thor.
"So, Thor, how did you do it?"
Thor was startled and his head was buzzing.
Gorza's body slowly leaned forward, his silver eyes almost bulging out of the bandages. "How on earth did you manage to take over someone else's body and still be alive and well without any signs of uncontrolled contamination?"
"I'm really, really curious."
