Chapter 322 Preliminary Testing

Chapter 322 Preliminary Testing

Saul admitted that there were many things that shocked him.

The truth behind Mrs. Euler's death, the inheritance of the wizard tower, and the source of the cursed blood...

But none of them could make him spit directly!

"Ahem, Hayden, why did you choose to participate in the soul infusion experiment?"

Thor still couldn't calm down.

147. Oh no, it was Hayden who raised his head and looked up at Thor. Because he couldn't control his facial expression well, he actually looked somewhat innocent.

"Sir, you told me that an apprentice who is less than 30 years old and has not reached the third level is likely to be contaminated and alienated in a short period of time, but I am already 28 years old. Even if you can help me, it is impossible for me to reach the third level before the age of 30 with my qualifications."

"So you took the risk and signed up for the soul infusion experiment?"

"Yes, sir. This is the fastest way I can think of to get to level two. And with level two strength, I can also help you with more experiments."

Thor held his forehead. He always knew that in the soul infusion experiment, the gender of the soul must be inconsistent with the body container. Therefore, when he saw the beautiful experimental subject, he did not have any extra thoughts, as if he was looking at a group of corpses in a warehouse.

However, when he found out that the soul inside came from an acquaintance, he was still somewhat weakened.

"So your early departure from the tower was just a cover."

"Yes." At this point, Hayden leaned down again, his forehead touching the ground, "Besides Teacher Rum, you are the only one who knows about this. Please... don't tell anyone else."

Thor nodded, then teased: "You have the courage to participate in the experiment, but not the courage to reveal your identity?"

Unexpectedly, Hayden said honestly: "There is no adult. In fact, even the courage to participate in the experiment is not mine."

"Oh? Is there anyone else helping you?"

"Actually..." Hayden straightened up and looked up so Thor could see his face clearly.

Suddenly, his stiff face forced an even stiffer smile, "Actually it was me, sir. I'm sorry to meet you officially only now."

Thor narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Although her appearance, voice, and expression hadn't changed much, the look in her eyes was different.

Compared to the hesitant and timid look just now, this one is bolder and more determined.

"Who are you?"

"Actually, I am also Hayden, but I showed up later. According to the academic community, I am Hayden's alter ego."

Thor immediately narrowed his eyes and started meditating.

In his eyes, Subject No. 147 remained the same as before, with nothing unusual.

It seems that Hayden's spirit is usually locked tightly in this container. When waiting for the test later, we can observe whether there is any abnormality in Hayden's spirit.

"Will split personality be reflected in the soul? Will it be manifested as two souls in one body, or one soul with two consciousnesses?"

"This..." The person in front of her had obviously turned back into the cowardly Hayden. Her straight back slumped slightly. "I have never studied my soul. I am afraid of uncontrollable changes in the middle of the process."

"That's true." Without the diary as a backup, Thor would not dare to study his own soul at will.

Moreover, Thor's spirit is indeed very plastic and adaptable. Perhaps this is the special feature that Mentor Gorza mentioned.

And this specialness most likely comes from the changes that the time travel experience has brought to him.

But Thor still has no memory of this time travel experience.

Even if I try hard to recall, all I can see is darkness.

"The other personality appeared later. Was it caused by some unexpected event?"

"Yes, when I was a child, an abnormal evil spirit wave occurred in the territory where my family lived, and I was the only one in the family who survived. The second personality appeared at that time. He helped me survive."

"Are you sure it's the second personality and not the spirit of another person?" Thor motioned Hayden to lie down on the experimental bed.

Hayden had obviously prepared himself mentally to cooperate with Thor in some actions before coming, and he climbed onto the experimental table without any hesitation.

Because the clothes for these experiments are specially made, they have the same opening on the back as on the front, which makes it easier to check the special magic circles on their backs.

Thor walked over and unbuttoned Hayden's clothes on his back - after entering the experimental state, he no longer cared whether the person in front of him was a man or a woman.

They are all experiments anyway.

There is also a magic circle drawn with golden runes behind Hayden. This magic circle is specially used to imprison the soul of a first-level apprentice.

Now this soul has vaguely formed Hayden's appearance, but if no one reminds it, it would probably be difficult to recognize it.

A faint gray light emerged from Thor's fingertips and touched the magic circle.

Hayden's body did not move at all, but the human face pattern formed by the magic circle suddenly struggled.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Thor said indifferently: "Don't restrain yourself. I want to see your normal reaction."

With that, he loosened the seal on Hayden's back again.

Once the seal was broken, the magic circle deformed even more severely! Finally, Hayden's skin began to bulge upwards, as if something was about to break through his flesh and blood.

Thor immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at the constantly changing skin.

He saw a distorted, gray, translucent face that was desperately trying to squeeze out. The pain and madness on its face were obvious.

"They can talk to me calmly, so why do their souls appear to be in such pain? Could it be that someone has used a magic circle to deliberately cut off the transmission of some painful emotions? Is that why their emotions are restrained and their micro-expressions are lost, just like some female celebrities who have had failed plastic surgery?"

Thor did not stop and continued to put pressure on the magic circle. As he moved, Hayden's spirit became more painful.

But at this moment, a groan came from the head of the bed.

Thor paused his pressure on the soul and leaned over to take a closer look at the expression on Hayden's face.

"The more painful the soul is, the more comfortable the container is. The two behaviors are completely opposite. This shows that the body's rejection of the spirit has not changed. It is only relying on this magic circle that binds the soul that connects the spirit and the body."

"It's a rather crude method. No wonder there hasn't been any substantial progress in all these years. Can't Mr. Rum find this problem? Is he unwilling to improve, or is this the method with the least side effects?"

Thor stopped torturing Hayden and put a hand on the gray spirit that was almost breaking through the skin.

The skin on his hands also became slightly transparent, and then he exerted force with his wrists to press the spirit that was about to escape back into his body.

This is the end of the preliminary testing experiment.

Thor let Hayden take a break and got up on his own, while he returned to the laboratory table to record his findings.

"It is indeed a second personality. The essence of the soul has not changed, but the consciousness has changed. However, I am not a psychiatrist. Unless I use soul fishing to seal Hayden's spirit in the pages of the book... it is not impossible."

As Thor was writing, he suddenly felt that Hayden looked similar to the four consciousnesses in his diary.

He had previously read all the information on soul infusion and found that the lifespan of most experiments was less than three years. Moreover, the ones that mutated and were contaminated were the spirits.

Once those spirits are contaminated, Instructor Rum will entrust Instructor Kaz and others to help clean up the pollution, rewash the containers, and wait for the next first-level apprentice to volunteer to participate in the soul infusion experiment.

Level 1 apprentices who have no hope of promotion choose to use a shortcut to become level 2 apprentices, but they still cannot survive the fate of being polluted.

Just like despair is never far away.
