The sun is high

Although the idea of ​​fabricating a set of memories and trying to instill them into the descendants of An Abyss sounds very crazy, Xiuge knows that based on the characteristics of the descendants of An Abyss, this approach is indeed feasible, even if "spiritual interrogation" "There is no way to completely erase the predatory instinct hidden deep in the body of the descendant of An Abyss, but if its messy memory can be completely washed away and replaced with a more reliable and pure memory, then it will indeed There is a real chance that his cognition and instinct will conflict.

But infusing it with memories and infusing it with faith are two completely different things.

Through the few words of Theseus and his understanding of those ancient Familia, Xiuge can basically determine that these Familia actually have extremely profound beliefs about the origin of their power, or the gods behind their power.

In fact, Xiuge felt that the word faith could not accurately describe the relationship between those dependents and their gods.

Because this vocabulary and concept are actually more applicable to the intelligent beings and civilizations of today's Van En, whether humans or elves, their attitudes and relationships towards the gods are absolutely different from those of the dependents.

The dependents do not seem to be that important to the gods.

But for the dependents, the existence of gods is a kind of existence that is directly imprinted in their instincts and is absolutely inviolable - even the running rat will not allow Xiuge, the actual master, to be in his own Verbally humiliating and belittling the Mother Earth in front of her.

This is a strange connection beyond human imagination.

And now, what Justina and others are doing is tantamount to challenging, or in other words provoking, the close relationship between the family members and the gods!

Xiuge's reaction was naturally fast enough. The moment the experimental sample screamed in despair, he had successfully dragged aside the mage who was performing the ritual, and then he walked directly into the center of the ritual venue and came to Beside the group of descendants of An Yuan who were undergoing rapid changes.

He was certain that this experimental sample was undergoing some astonishing changes that he had never seen before. Through his magic vision, Xiuge saw that the continuously flowing magic lines in the body of An Yuan's descendants were showing an unprecedented violent trend. This drastic change even broke through the chaotic state when it entered the so-called "imitation state" before, and the magic power existing in the surrounding air began to continuously gather into its body.

In just the blink of an eye, it has experienced countless self-destructions and reinventions.

At this moment, heart-rending and tragic shouts rushed out from the cracks that seemed to be mouths.

"Help me! Help me!"

It was screaming for help in a human male voice.

The faces of the mages present turned pale. As participants in the experiment, they vaguely guessed what was going on. From a certain point of view, the experiment was successful, because they really changed the experiment. The consciousness and spirit of the sample are given to it with human cognition and will. However, it is precisely because of this that when it makes this call with human instinct and identity, the emotions and states of everyone here are affected to a considerable extent. Impact.

Xiuge was naturally not included.

The rotating metal disc, as well as the continuously mobilizing magic power, successfully blocked him from the impact on all levels, and the seemingly weird and tragic scene in front of him had no way of having any impact on his current mind. .

Now, all he could see were those cold and disorderly restless lines.

Xiuge closely observed the changes in An Yuan's descendants. This pool of black mucus was now undergoing drastic changes. In order to ensure that it would not affect other personnel in the laboratory, Xiuge directly relied on his current knowledge of magic power. With his excellent control, he carried out a second construction inside the spiritual interrogation ritual venue, locking himself and the experimental sample in a new magic cage.

Whether it is close contact with experimental samples or direct casting of spells in a complete ceremony, it is considered a taboo for regular mages, but now no member of the Law Committee dares to question Xiuge's approach. With such a shocking change beyond their expectations, they could only trust the judgment of this mysterious and powerful young mage.

"Please...save me..."

The descendant of An Yuan was already hoarse. The black mucus even barely formed the upper body of an adult male and tried to crawl out of the mucus. However, such behavior was naturally meaningless. The power of this experimental sample was simply too much. It is limited and simply not enough to support it to carry out such a degree of change.

Xiuge could tell that the descendant of An Yuan in front of him was in a very delicate stage. As a disabled family member directly dominated by consciousness, instinct and magic power, it was now eager to follow the memories that it had just been instilled, so that He has an exact form, completely embraces his own memory, and becomes the same existence as everyone present.

However, in addition to its incomplete body, there seems to be another invisible force that is constantly interfering and blocking this behavior.

Xiuge, who could directly see the flow of magic power, clearly captured the key - he noticed that whenever the descendant of An Abyss in front of him tried to have a complete human form and called for help in human language, the magic model in his body immediately It will be forcibly disrupted by an inexplicable wave, as if there is a huge claw that is constantly stirring the water in the basin to prevent it from truly standing still.

This kind of perturbation is obviously very fatal to experimental samples.

Its life force is disappearing at an alarming rate, and its magic power is gradually dissipating as it is reorganized and collapsed again and again. After the traces of the magic power that were artificially instilled and constructed began to fade away, the instincts that originally belonged to the descendants of An Yuan also began to gradually awaken. .

Just like when it was just summoned, this viscous black fluid began to roll slowly in the direction of Shuge. This was the closest prey it could reach, and until this time, in some remaining cracks, There are still human voices coming out.

However, those words made Xiuge change his original idea of ​​destroying the sample.

What it says is: "Run away from me."

"..."

Xiuge narrowed his eyes, quickly turned his head, and shouted to Justina: "Bring those incomplete embryos I brought before, all of them!"

Then he knelt down on one knee, as if to soothe a wounded animal, and stretched his palm over the struggling descendant of An Abyss. The next moment, a large amount of deep magic smoke appeared next to Zi Xiuge. When he came out, the mist composed of rich magic power quickly approached the cage he had built with his own hands, cutting off everyone's sight on the spot. Then, Xiuge slowly pulled out the black mask of the messenger in the mirror in the dim space. and put it on his face.

The imitation of the Master of the Black Sun Society began quickly, and the state of the magic power in Xiuge's body changed rapidly. After a burst of pain, an artificial magic circuit capable of limitedly producing dark abyss magic was quickly formed. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of dark abyss magic was repaired. Created in a pattern, they quickly fell towards the Dark Abyss descendant like running water and wrapped up its fragmented body.

Just like a fish that had been struggling on the shore for a long time and was about to die returned to the water, the originally extremely chaotic magical state of the Dark Abyss descendant regained vitality at the moment when it was about to completely collapse, and the magical power in its body began to be filled. , the originally collapsed magic model began to reorganize.

However, as this process progressed, the pain of An Yuan's descendants began to intensify.

The human will and memory that had been instilled in it began to disintegrate under the influence of the dark abyss magic without any warmth, and its shouts began to be severely deformed and distorted. Gradually, the voice that originally belonged to an adult human male began to fade away. Although it It is still shouting human language, but the nature of its sound has begun to tilt in the direction of chaos and turbidity.

The hunting instinct seemed to still dominate this dark mud. Its body gradually extended two long black lines, like the arms and legs of a mollusk, and quietly wrapped around Xiuge's body.

However, at this moment, the mist of the messenger in the mirror escaped from Xiuge's eyes. Then, his mouth opened silently, and a low voice with gloomy magic came out.

Just like a doctor facing a panicked patient, Xiuge continued the life of the experimental sample while speaking words that it could understand.

"Don't move and obey."

As if grasping a life-saving straw, the incomplete consciousness shouted: "Help me..."

"I'm saving you."

Xiuge gently shook his palm, and more magic power poured out, accelerating to fill the magic vacancy caused by the collapse of An Yuan's descendants. At the same time, he said: "I order you to answer my question."

"yes……"

"What is your identity?"

The painful human male face reappeared in the wriggling black shadow, and it struggled to answer: "I am... I am a human... a spellcaster, a mage from the north... I don't remember my name."

Xiuge nodded slightly, and then asked: "What's wrong with you now?"

"I don't... don't understand... it hurts, this is punishment... I don't want this..."

Xiuge immediately asked: "Punishment? What punishment?"

"I don't understand! I don't understand! I don't understand!"

This problem obviously touched the key. At this moment, unprecedented interference began to erupt. Even with Shuge's continuous supply of magic power, the body of the descendants of An Yuan still began to completely disintegrate uncontrollably, so Shuge He immediately turned his head and shouted towards the outside of the cage: "Have you brought the things?"

Before he finished speaking, an unknown mage sent the incomplete embryos modified by the Black Sun Society's drugs that Xiuge had brought before into the ceremony venue. Xiuge took them smoothly, and the black horny skin covered his body. With the palm of his hand, he easily crushed the container containing these embryos and held in his hands those Dark Abyss embryos that were not at all hostile to him and were even quite close to him.

After the recent contact, Xiuge has basically confirmed the key to the mutation of the descendants of An Abyss. As a product originating from the An Abyss Palace, no matter how incomplete it is, no matter how it accepts man-made transformation, there is no way to completely break away. The power of the Dark Abyss exists, and within this power, there are obviously powerful restrictions on one's own family members from the Dark Abyss Palace.

"In other words, I must remove this restriction... just like the Iris guard who changed after taking the drug before, using his own power and consciousness as the absolute subject, he can remove the restrictions from the dark abyss. …”

At the moment when these thoughts arose, Shuge also thought of Theseus's description of the creatures in the Dream Sanctuary.

According to Theseus, it was through some special methods that he successfully separated these dependents from the rule of the gods who were the source of their power, which meant that his current idea was very likely. It's correct, the only thing you need to do is to try boldly!

Xiuge breathed a sigh of relief and said to the struggling son: "Bear it, you won't die...but it might hurt a little."

After the words fell, the mist of the messenger in the mirror immediately began to operate. This time, Xiuge did not continue to provide magic power to it, but adopted the method he used when hunting other descendants. He continuously extracted the dark abyss power from the descendants in front of him. , at the same time, he injected his own magic power into the mutilated embryo in his hand. When it had enough power, he directly threw the embryo into the severely shrunken sample.

The restlessness suddenly stopped at this moment.

Shuge's extremely rough and counterintuitive approach seems to have interrupted the "punishment" process of the invisible hand to the descendants of An Yuan. The force that supported the collapse has been completely withdrawn by Shuge, and now supports its activities. What was reshaped was the embryo that had been "purified" and "drunk" many times by the Black Sun Society and Shuge.

The magical fog that blocked their vision gradually dissipated, and the already extremely nervous mages of the Legal Committee finally saw the strange scene in the center of the laboratory again.

They saw that in front of the young man, a dark shadow was moving at an extremely slow speed. They could tell by sight alone that it was extremely weak at this time, but the manic fluctuations and changes were already there. Stop completely.

Justina looked at the dark shadow with concern, and she was extremely eager to get Shuge's explanation for this.

But then, she saw Xiuge suddenly reveal a meaningful smile. He slowly raised a hand and carefully stretched out a finger towards the squirming black shadow.

After a moment, as if responding to Shuge, in the center of the dark mucus, an arm with a vague outline poked out at an extremely slow speed.

It also extended a finger.

As if responding to the call of "father", he touched Xiuge lightly, and then everything returned to peace.
