Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 323

Chapter 322 Preliminary Testing

Thor admitted that there were many things that could shock him.

The truth about Mrs. Euler’s death, the inheritance of the wizard tower, the source of the cursed blood in the beginning…

but none of them could make him spit directly!

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

Thor couldn’t calm down until now.

147, no, it was Hayden who raised his head and looked up at Thor. Because he couldn’t control his facial expressions well, he looked a little innocent.

“Sir, you told me that apprentices who are less than 30 years old and have reached level 3 are 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 level 3 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 reach level 2, and with the strength of level 2, 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, so when he saw the beautiful experimental subject, he didn’t have any extra thoughts, just like looking at a group of corpses in the warehouse.

But when he knew that the soul inside came from an acquaintance, it still made him a little defensive.

“So your leaving the tower early was just a cover.”

“Yes.” At this point, Hayden leaned down again, his forehead touching the ground, “Besides Instructor Rum, only you, sir, know about this. Please, sir… don’t tell anyone else.”

Thor nodded, and then teased, “You have the courage to participate in the experiment, but not the courage to reveal your identity?”

Unexpectedly, Hayden said honestly, “No, sir. 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 raised his head so that Thor could see his face clearly.

Suddenly, his stiff face pulled out 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 did not change much, her eyes were different.

Compared with the hesitant and timid eyes just now, this one was bolder and more resolute.

“Who are you?”

“Actually, I am also Hayden, but I appeared later. According to the academic community, I am Hayden’s second personality.”

Thor immediately narrowed his eyes and started meditating.

In his eyes, Subject 147 was still the same as before, and there was nothing unusual.

It seems that Hayden’s spirit is usually locked in this container. When waiting for the experiment later, we can observe whether Hayden’s spirit is abnormal.

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

“This…” The person in front of him obviously turned back into the cowardly Hayden, and her straight back slumped slightly. “I haven’t studied my soul. I’m afraid of uncontrollable changes in the middle.” “That

‘s true.” If there is no diary to back it up, Thor would not dare to study his soul at will.

Moreover, Thor’s spirit is indeed very plastic and adaptable. Perhaps this is the specialness that Teacher Gorza said.

And this specialness is likely to come from the changes brought to him by the experience of crossing.

But Thor still has no impression of this experience of crossing.

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

“The other personality appeared later. Was there any accident that caused it?”

“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 who survived. The second personality appeared at that time. He helped me survive.”

“Are you sure it’s the second personality, not the spirit of the second person?” Thor motioned Hayden to lie down on the experimental bed.

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

Because these experimental clothes are specially made, they will leave an opening on the back like the front, which is convenient for checking the special magic circle behind them.

Thor walked over and untied the clothes on Hayden’s back. After entering the experimental state, he no longer cared whether the person in front of him was a man or a woman.

Anyway, they were all experimental subjects.

There was also a magic circle drawn with golden runes on Hayden’s back. This magic circle was specially used to imprison and bind the soul of a first-level apprentice.

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

A gray glimmer 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.

Thor said indifferently: “Don’t restrain yourself. I want to see your normal reaction.”

After that, he loosened the seal on Hayden’s back again.

Once the seal was released, the magic circle deformed even more severely! Finally, Hayden’s skin began to bulge upwards, as if something was about to break through the flesh and get out of the flesh.

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

He saw a twisted gray translucent face, desperately squeezing out, and the pain and madness on the face were very obvious.

“You can talk to me calmly, why does the soul essence show such pain? Is it because someone used the magic circle to deliberately cut off the transmission of some painful emotions? Is this why their emotions are restrained and their micro-expressions are lost, just like some female stars who failed plastic surgery?”

Thor did not stop and continued to put pressure on the magic circle. With his movements, Hayden’s spirit became more painful.

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

Thor stopped putting pressure on the soul and leaned over to carefully observe the expression on Hayden’s face.

“The more painful the soul is, the more comfortable the container is. The two performances are completely opposite. This shows that the body’s rejection of the spirit has not changed. It is completely relying on this magic circle that binds the soul to connect the spirit and the body.”

“It’s a very rough method. No wonder there has been no 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 pressed one hand on the gray spirit that was about to break through the skin.

The skin on his hand also became slightly transparent, and then he used force on his wrist to directly press the spirit that was about to escape back into the body.

This preliminary test experiment ended here.

Thor let Hayden rest for a while and get up on his own. 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. But I am not a psychiatrist. Unless I use soul fishing to seal Hayden’s spirit in the pages of the book directly… it is not impossible.”

As Thor wrote, he suddenly felt that Hayden’s appearance seemed to be 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. And the ones that were mutated and contaminated were the spirits.

After those spirits were contaminated, Instructor Rum would entrust Instructor Kaz and others to help clean up the pollution, rewash the containers, and wait for the next first-level apprentice who volunteered to participate in the soul infusion experiment. The first-level apprentices who

had no hope of promotion chose to use tricks to become second-level apprentices, but they still could not survive the fate of being contaminated.

Just like despair has never been far away.
