Open air alchemy room.

The glass walls have been removed, as have the interrogation tables, chairs and benches.

The condemned man died of pulmonary hemorrhage, and his body was inspected by an alchemist and sent to the incinerator.

The tank was empty, and Nuk'alofa's brain tissue was dead.

The alchemists emptied the nutrient solution in the culture tank, took out the brain tissue that had changed from pink flesh color to grayish white, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no signs of life, placed it in the freezer and took it away for future use.

After the alchemists left, Rexor used silver sand to condense tables and chairs and invited his companions to sit down.

Selina activates the Image Orb to replay the scene before Nuk'alofa's death.

In front of Rexor is an alchemical instrument that detects spiritual energy.

While watching the scene reappear, he compared it with the reading records on the alchemy instruments, looking for the source of the unknown power in Nuk'alofa from the perspective of visual images and data changes.

After everyone watched the images in the Image Orb, Rexor picked up the vital signs record of the culture tank and read it several times.

He seemed to have discovered something unusual.

He stretched out his left hand and pressed his finger on a certain line on the vital signs record sheet. With his right hand, he controlled the image orb, adjusted the timeline, put Nuk'alofa in a strange posture, and used the strange demonic language to cast the spell. Play over and over again.

"So that's it," Rexor suddenly realized. "We have been paying attention to Nuk'alofa's spiritual energy, but we forgot that there is another kind of energy that he can use."

Rexall circled the two lines on the vital sign record with a pen, "The moment Nuk'alofa took a posture and started casting spells, his vital signs appeared abnormal. A second before, the culture tank's The vital signs instrument showed that his brain tissue could still survive for 1 minute and 20 seconds, but after he started casting the spell, the survival time of the brain tissue was instantly shortened to 40 seconds, a full 50% decrease."

Selina asked, "So, he relies on life force to cast spells?"

"Yes, but it's not just life force." Rexor looked at Xia Zuo, "Your hemogen servant once saw Nuk'alofa summoning a space-time vessel in the church headquarters, right?"

Xia Zuo nodded, "Yes. At that time, Nuk'alofa used shadow energy to build a space-time container."

"That's the problem." Rexor crossed his fingers on the table. "Nuk'alofa has mastered part of the laws of time and space. Moreover, he can summon time and space containers with energy other than attributeless energy. I have reason to believe that , he can also use his vitality as a casting consumable to summon a space-time vessel."

Rexor looked around and said, "Don't forget the research results of the tower scholars. They believe that Vasaksat, a powerful starry sky demon, has studied deeply in the field of time and space. It is likely to have developed a method based on the laws of time and space." Weird spells. When Nuk'alofa learned the laws of time and space, he might have inherited some of the time and space spells from Vasaksat."

Rexall took out the charcoal and parchment.

"When I was dodging these two things, I found that I could never escape their tracks."

Rexall picked up the charcoal.

"What spell can guarantee 100% hit to the enemy?

“I think it’s a time and space spell similar to [Time Rewind].

“I took out the charcoal pens and parchment scrolls and put them on the table. Once [time goes back], they will definitely come back to me.

"Nuk'alofa used his life force to cast similar time and space spells, allowing the charcoal pen and parchment to hit me accurately, and then controlled them to seal me temporarily.

"From beginning to end, I found no trace of the space-time container. I have to say that his knowledge of the laws of time and space is much higher than I imagined."

If only a senior member of the Strange Demon Church had this level of ability, how strong would Vasaksat be, who has studied the field of time and space?

It is no wonder that the members of the Monster Church are so devoted and extremely blindly obedient to Vasaksat. Following such a powerful person who can reverse time and space, there is no need to worry about being unable to share the fruits of victory due to sacrifice.

You all here are not stupid, you can easily think of this.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy.

Rexor snapped his fingers, breaking the silence.

"Everyone, I have some guesses about the whereabouts of Sodik Black Flag."

Rexor said under the gaze of everyone:

“Our previous thinking was too narrow and did not take into account the role played by the laws of time and space in the entire incident.

“Fortunately, Nuuk A’alofa reminded me with practical actions.

"Sodik Black Flag should be a strange demon that also masters the laws of time and space. Every creature separated from his body is actually Sodik Black Flag, but they are not.

"If no one or strange demon casts some kind of time and space spell on these creatures separated by Black Flag, allowing them to go back in time and return to the state of being in Black Flag's body, then these creatures are just themselves, they are independent Individuals have their own thinking and consciousness.”

Rexor paused.

"But if someone casts some kind of time and space spell on them, just like Nuk'alofa did to Xia Zuo before, then these creatures separated from Black Flag will return to the state they were in Black Flag's body , becoming a tool controlled by strange demons, or undergoing a mutation unknown to us. Either way, it means the return of Sodik Black Flag to a certain extent."

Selina thought for a moment, "So, we have to pay special attention to those creatures separated from Black Flag, right? Have they been included in the list of major reviews?"

Rexor shook his head.

“When Black Flag separates a creature, it will cause changes in the surrounding bloodline power, and the people on the review list are all those affected.

"Those creatures separated from Black Chess's body are not subject to review. They are basically humans. When they were captured, they had already been reviewed by the Thorns of Sin. They had no sins and were as innocent as Kallus.

"I have made a separate list of these people, which is included in top-secret files, and is personally monitored by the temple guards in their area. So far, only Kallus has become a member of the temple because of his meritorious performance, and all the others Everyone is in isolation or sealed state."

Rexor breathed a sigh of relief thankfully, "Huh~ Fortunately, I was careful when I first took over the investigation of Sodik Black Flag and did not let the humans separated from Black Flag enter the temple... almost Breeding big trouble.”

"Then what are you going to do with Kallus now?" Xia Zuo asked.

Rexor rubbed his chin, "I have a plan, but it may not work."

He glanced at Kadum, "Can you restore the spell that Nuk'alofa recited?"

Kadum lifted up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a hideous and slender "wound" - this is actually the mouth of the dream-eating tapir.

He took out a bottle of potion and poured it on his left arm, then closed his eyes and trembled his lips slightly as the "wound" squirmed, as if he was reading an article silently.

Half a minute later, the slender "wound" puffed out a cloud of smoke.

Kadum opened his eyes, fanned the air in front of him, and dispersed the smoke. "That spell was completely recorded in the dream experience of the Dream-Eating Tapir. I can restore it 100%."

Rexor clapped his hands and said, "Very good. With the spell, we can do an experiment. I want to take the initiative to test the effect of the spell. I will ask Yaxut to help and let him cast Nuke. The time and space spell cast by Alofa... We also need a human separated from Black Flag. Kallus is not suitable as an experimental subject, so I will recruit another human."

"So, Selina..." Rexor said to the only female tower scholar at the scene, "Please go visit Master Lemon. We need a master who is proficient in various energy sources to help us monitor the experimental process. , it would be best to monitor the connection between the experimental subject and Sodik Black Flag, so that we can carry out the next step of the plan."

"Okay, okay, I'll contact her right away." Selena nodded and took out the secret message ring.

Rexor patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder, "Fortunately you are here. If I really let Kallus go to see Nuk'alofa, there might be some trouble. Later, you and us Let’s go and observe the experiment together.”

"Okay, Master." Xia Zuo responded.

Later that day, Rexall and others gathered in an underground alchemy room in the tower.

Master Lemon has also arrived here. Xia Zuo met her once when he was studying deep-sea turtles.

She once used the diffraction array to accurately capture the cubs of the deep-sea turtles, and also detected the weak connection between the cubs and their mothers. In the field related to energy, she can definitely be called a master.

After Lemon came to the underground alchemy room, he called on his assistants to set up the scene, covered all the open spaces in the room with diffraction arrays, and then asked the assistants to leave. For confidentiality reasons, she would Take control of the magic circle yourself.

The test subjects recruited by Rexor were transported in by a team of temple guards wearing armor.

This is a male human in a comatose state, who looks about 30 years old, named Tallis.

According to Rexall, Talis was first discovered in a border town in the Kingdom of Wildhammer. At that time, Talis was drinking and causing trouble. After being taught a lesson by the locals, he was thrown into the street.

When Rexor and Seretes arrived, Talis almost died from the unique hot weather in the Kingdom of Wildhammer.

The reason for choosing this guy as the experimental subject is simple - he is the only ordinary person among all the people separated from Black Flag's body. He does not have any bloodline power or master any spells or alchemy.

At this time, Tallis was given enough sleeping potion to sleep for two days, sleeping like a dead pig...

He was tied to the recliner in the alchemy room by Rexor himself, and then several spell chains were placed on him.

"Everything is ready." Rexor nodded towards Master Lemon, "Let's start the experiment."

He walked to the sidelines and gave his seat next to the deck chair to Yaksut.

A transparent space-time container was summoned by Yaxut and wrapped the lounge chair and Talis inside.

Kadum stood beside Yaksut, seeming to be a little afraid of the opponent's identity. He kept his posture very low, more humble than when facing Rexor...

"Give me the spell." Yaksut wore a mask and stared at Kadum with cold eyes.

"Yes, yes." Kadum leaned forward slightly, stretched out his right arm, took out the potion and poured it on his arm. A small slit opened in the mouth of the Dream-Eating Tapir, and a long stream of purple smoke spewed out. Immediately afterwards, Kadum stepped aside, away from Yaxut.

Yaksut inhaled the smoke, remained silent for a few seconds, and then began to cast a spell.

He assumed the same posture as Nuk A'alofa, raising his right arm high and close to his ear, extending his left arm parallel to his shoulder to the left side of his body, and crossing his legs forward and backward.

" # ¥ @¥.." The strange demon language spell sounded in the alchemy room.

Master Lemon activated all the diffraction arrays in the room and used high-frequency spell diffraction ripples to scan the space-time container in all directions, not missing any energy fluctuations.

The spell is over.

After everyone waited quietly for a minute, there was still no change in the space-time container.

"Failed?" Rexor asked.

"No."

"No."

Yaxut and Lemon shook their heads at the same time.

Yaxut stretched out his right arm to Lemon and made a "please" gesture.

Lemon tapped his chin at him, and while controlling the diffraction array, he said:

"Talis in the space-time container is losing vitality rapidly. If you use a vital sign meter or a blood pattern detection spell on him, you will find that his survival time is decreasing at a rate of 10 days per second. This is very strange. phenomenon because no vitality-related spells are taking effect."

Yaksut took over the right to speak and said:

"The flow rate of space-time in the space-time container is flowing backward. The flow rate is also 10 days per second."

"Is there any connection between the two?" Rexor was a little confused.

The only person present who had some research on the energy of life force was Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo met everyone's gaze and said thoughtfully:

"In common sense, we think how long a person can live depends on how much [vital energy] a person has. But if an accident occurs and the person dies before his life span is exhausted, the extra vitality will be meaningless. We can only return to nature.

"We might as well think about this from another angle:

"The longer a person lives, the more vitality he has. The vitality will increase over time and accumulate in his body, and it will also be lost from his body as time goes back and return to nature.

"I think this statement is suitable to explain the current situation."

There is another saying that may be easier to understand, but Xia Zuo dare not say it:

From a data perspective, the longer a person lives, the higher his eight-dimensional attributes will be.

For the indigenous humans of this world, their eight-dimensional attributes basically grow according to their life experiences in the past few months. The more physical work you do, the more your strength and will will increase. The more you practice alchemy and magic, the faster your perception and spirit will increase.

In the same way, if you are in better health, eat better, and live a healthy lifestyle, it will be difficult to increase your vitality attribute value and upper limit of blood volume, and your so-called life span will also become longer.

Tallis's current situation is equivalent to losing the upper limit of blood volume and vitality attribute value under the influence of time and space. These two are what everyone calls [vitality].

In Xia Zuo's field of vision, this part of the life force flowing out of Talis' body is entrenched in the space-time container and constantly changing into various shapes. As time goes back, the amount of life force is increasing, and the speed of change is also increasing. faster and faster.

Although Rexor and others did not have digital character templates, their understanding skills were good. They quickly understood what Xia Zuo meant and nodded in approval.

"So, does the spell recited by Nuk'alofa only cause a specific object to enter a state of going backward in time?" Rexall asked.

Yaxut nodded slowly, "It seems so so far. I have found no other abnormalities."

"I have some clues." Lemon fiddled with the control panel of the diffraction array and switched the ripple light.

A pink light group appeared in the space-time container.

"We can't see the vitality, but that doesn't stop me from using illusions to simulate it based on the energy readings."

Lemon walked to the space-time container and introduced:

"The pink light group you see now is the vitality I simulated. Its appearance is constantly changing. Pay attention. Do you think these patterns look familiar?"

"Let me take a look..." Rexor took a closer look, "It seems to be the language of strange demons."

"It is indeed the language of strange demons." Kadum came closer and stared at the pink light group. "It changes too fast. I have to take a closer look."

Kadum came to the front of the space-time container and observed it for nearly half a minute before finally understanding the content of the strange demon text.

"The 13th attempt to repay the goal...

"Attention! Thordick Black Flag has been detected dead!

“Return feeding was rejected!

"The 14th attempt to repay the goal...

"Attention! Thordick Black Flag has been detected dead!

“Return feeding is rejected!”
