At this moment, the descendants of An Abyss have entered what Justina calls the "awakening state".
When faced with the descendants of An Yuan in this state, all people would not be able to help but brace themselves.
Except for Xiuge.
He had seen the An Yuan heir in this state so many times that he was completely numb.
What's more, most of the time, he is the predator.
He doesn't even dare to put too much pressure on the descendant of the dark abyss now, lest it directly scare it back to its original form. In his magic vision, the magic power of the descendant of the dark abyss is indeed changing in a chaotic direction, but
This is still quite a distance before it enters the final "imitation state".
Facing Malena, the perfect prey that best meets his hunting needs, the descendant of the Dark Abyss who has been imprisoned for a long time showed an unprecedented predatory impulse. It constantly collided with the transparent magic cage built by the mages.
, the twisted body was constantly deformed due to the violent impact, and those ferocious and sharp claws kept hitting the transparent wall in front of her. Such close contact shocked Marlena who was standing next to Justina.
, the instinct is to retreat backwards.
This was obviously a script that had been arranged before.
Faced with the descendant of the Dark Abyss, whose overall mind is closer to that of a child and who always follows instinct, Justina and others deliberately arranged such a good show in order to gain its trust and reaction.
Faced with the fear and retreat shown by the girl next to her, Justina showed a cold smile. She pursed her lips and grabbed the girl's wrist, forcibly dragging her back to her side and holding her.
Directly in front of the magic cage.
Feeling the approach of the prey, the children of the Dark Abyss became more active again. Those mouthparts originating from different lives kept chewing in the air. The disgusting scene made Marlena, who was originally going to cooperate with the performance, reveal her true horror.
look.
The natural reaction shown by the girl was noticed by the descendants of An Abyss. It hit the magic cage in front of it more actively, but it always fell back to the original place due to the weakness of its individual strength. After trying countless times, this irritable group
The individual descendant of the Dark Abyss finally realized the crux of the problem. It restrained its limbs and mouthparts, and only a few dark green eyes remained in its flowing body.
Xiuge paid close attention to the changes in An Yuan's descendants. Soon, he saw that the magic lines in the target's body began to stretch. As the eyeballs continued to rotate, these fine magic lines began to take on a new state - they
It was still chaotic, but the frequency of the shaking began to increase. Gradually, their frequency seemed to be consistent with the magical tremors in the environment.
At this moment, the "imitation state" that Justina and others longed for finally began to take shape.
As the dark chaos continued to squirm, the "mouth" began to slowly form, but this group of dark abyss descendants was obviously relatively weak in power. It could not transform itself into a human-like appearance like the individuals Xiuge had seen before.
Instead, he could only twist those eyes and mouth inside his body with difficulty.
Finally, a chaotic and deep sound came from inside the flowing gel.
"Hungry……"
Just like a baby that can only briefly express its desires, it uttered simple words mixed with multiple sounds.
Justina narrowed her eyes slightly, she pulled Marlena and asked sincerely: "You are very hungry and want food, right?"
"It's...food."
Probably because the memories absorbed are relatively messy, the voices of these individual descendants of the Dark Abyss even have a very obvious plains accent. You don’t need to think about it to know that this accent is provided by the residents of Salem City with Delan ancestry.
of.
So Justina grabbed Marlena's wrist, and amidst the girl's pretentious struggle, she forcibly pushed her palm forward until it was close to the magic cage and could not stop.
"Look, the food is very close. Answer the question and you will have something to eat."
With Justina's deliberate inducement and the temptation of "delicious food" close at hand, the simple thinking of the descendant of the dark abyss began to deviate. After a moment of silence, it gave an affirmative answer in its own weird voice.
"good……"
But at this moment, Xiuge, who had been monitoring the status of An Yuan's descendants, turned slightly and made a gesture to the casters who were responsible for the spiritual interrogation ceremony.
The mages who received the signal immediately took action, and Justina, who was also in the ritual venue and felt the fluctuations of magic power, reacted quickly. She stood up directly, and at the moment when the ritual venue was about to take effect, she directly took it with her
The girl next to him withdrew, and before the descendants of An Yuan could react, the interrogation ceremony that was considered torture for all intelligent creatures began.
Ordinary spiritual interrogations do not require so many mages to preside over, but in the face of such an important experiment, the mages of these legal committees have shown their highest sincerity, so the entire ceremony venue was transformed in an instant.
Completely filled with magic power, the magic cage that was originally used to restrain the descendants of An Yuan was lifted on the spot. The "liberated" descendants of An Abyss fell to the ground with a "snap", but before it could take the next step, it was directly targeted.
The strong impact of its spirit was poured into its body.
This time, even ordinary people who lack knowledge of magic can directly see the effects of the ritual.
Because with the activation of spiritual interrogation, all the organs floating in the dark shadow were torn to pieces in an instant, and the originally calm dark fluid began to twitch violently. Under the continuous impact of magic power, those accumulated in
All the memories and knowledge in the bodies of An Yuan's descendants have been thoroughly cleansed.
The mages who performed the ritual did not need to get any information from the target at all. They just focused on destroying the spiritual level. Therefore, within tens of seconds, the entire ritual was completed. In the open space in the center of the laboratory, the original mass of
The descendant of An Abyss, who was baring his teeth and claws, has now completely turned into a ball of black liquid that seems to have life, but can only twitch slowly.
At this time, in Xiuge's eyes, the originally chaotic magical lines of An Yuan's descendant had completely returned to zero - those thin lines that originally represented its chaotic thoughts were now completely annihilated, and only a few of them still existed.
Shuge immediately nodded to Justina: "It's almost there, it's almost tortured to death."
As a result, the surging magic power stopped instantly, and the magical light dancing in the laboratory also quickly dissipated.
As a "little actor", Marlena was fully prepared mentally, but she was also frightened by the notorious magic in front of her. She took advantage of Justina's inadvertence to break away from her wrist, and came directly
When he reached Xiuge's side, he reached out and grabbed Xiuge's sleeve to gain some sense of security.
Seeing with her own eyes that the monster she was extremely afraid of in the past was turned into a puddle of "mud" under the influence of the "Spiritual Interrogation" ritual, the psychological shock Marlena now suffered was more severe than facing the descendants of the Dark Abyss themselves.
Xiuge felt a little funny. After confirming that the descendant of An Yuan had been forcibly "restored" to his original state, he took Marlena back to the corner and asked in a low voice: "When did you try to come here?"
?Does Felix know?"
"Of course he knows!"
Facing Xiuge, Malena finally had a smile on her face again. She said: "Mr. Felix agreed to my coming... The Masters said that there was an experiment here and a child was needed to help. At first, Felix
The husband still doesn't agree, but he feels relieved when he hears that you are here."
"So you were chosen in the end?"
"No, I asked for it!"
Marlena shook her head: "The other children are too young, Felix is worried, and they are also timid and easily scared..."
"Smart guy."
Shuge smiled and flicked Malena on the forehead. He liked this smart and extremely responsible girl very much. In a hell like Salem City, an existence like Malena was enough to become a good choice for many people.
The motivation to persevere.
The next experiment no longer required Marlena to continue to participate, so Xiuge handed Marlena over to the enthusiastic female mage from before, and asked her to take Marlena to eat canned fruit, while he restrained himself.
The spirit was reinvested in the ongoing experimental process.
In the magic system and regulations of the Legal Committee, the reason why the magic of "spiritual interrogation" is used as a severe punishment is not just because it will cause permanent damage to the individual's spirit.
"Clearing" and "damaging" are only the first steps.
A spellcaster with an in-depth study of memory and spirit can often perform more incredible "evil" operations when faced with a mind that has been washed away. The most typical one is to reshape the victim's memory.
and thinking, making them forget their past and accept another period of life.
When Xiuge heard these secrets from his magic teacher Wei Lin, a word immediately popped out of the depths of Xiuge's memory - "brainwashing".
Yes, for intelligent races such as humans and elves, this kind of magical behavior based on "spiritual interrogation" is "brainwashing" in the true sense. According to Weilin, some special cases in the past of the Legal Committee
During the Dark Ages, there were even cases where captured wild mages were directly transformed into magic servants. Of course, this behavior was later completely banned by the Legal Committee.
And now, this is what Justina and others are planning to do to the heir of An Abyss.
It sounds crazy, but in Van En, mages are people who seek miracles from madness. Faced with the current predicament, no one raises any objection to this.
Justina came over, stood next to Xiuge, looked at him carefully, and then said: "It is very troublesome to instill a whole set of memories and concepts... My teacher used to be in Merlinlehe
Similar experiments have been done on changelings."
"Did it succeed?"
"No... the changelings are still too fragile. Even if their minds are malleable, magic such as spiritual interrogation can easily cause huge irreversible damage to them. Once the magic in their bodies collapses, their bodies will also
Just shattered."
In front, the mage from the Law Committee who is responsible for managing memory has entered the state. There is a heavy metal mystical instrument hanging on his body, and his whole person looks solemn and solemn.
Justina continued: "In order to ensure that it becomes what we expect, we specially made up a whole set of memories...birth, childhood, growth...awakening the magic and becoming a member of the Legal Committee, and then
He was assassinated by evil magic and finally became like this."
Shuge sighed: "But even so, he still has humanity and is unwilling to harm other people of the same kind?"
Justina hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Mr. Ernst, you don't seem to agree with our preparations? This is just a set of woven memories."
Xiuge pondered for a few seconds. He stared at the descendant of An Yuan who was shaking slightly during the magic ceremony, and then asked: "According to the memories you prepared, it should have faith in the goddess Mel, right?"
"Yes, it will be a true believer of the goddess Mel."
"To instill the concept of faith into it, I don't think that's a good idea."
Justina was a little confused: "Do you think it can't understand it?"
Xiuge shook his head and said: "No, I just think that this may lead to some...unexpected results, that's all, just go ahead and try it. If an accident occurs, I will find a way to solve it, and I will continue to help you with experimental samples.
Complete it.”
After receiving Shuge's affirmation, Justina breathed a sigh of relief. Now she was really curious and in awe of the young man next to her. She could always feel a kind of closeness to Shuge.
The aura between Yu Meilinle, officials and senior scholars, especially since last night, has become more obvious. When Xiuge showed some doubts, she even had the idea to stop the experiment.
The impulse!
Time passed little by little, and after the magic ritual had been operating for about an hour and a half, Xiuge successfully captured new changes in the experimental sample through his own magic vision - the thin magic threads in its body were moving rapidly and orderly.
After the reorganization, as the woven pure memory was completely injected into the body of the descendant of An Abyss, its originally extremely weak magical state began to gradually recover.
"Almost done!"
Justina was a little excited. Although she did not have Xiuge's ability to see through the flow of magic power, she could still feel the changes in the monster. Now, its sense of disorder and chaos has completely faded away, replaced by
It is a controllable and stable magic frequency!
The mage responsible for carrying out the ritual was also aware of the approaching victory. He gritted his teeth and prepared to use his remaining magic power to instill the last memory into it.
But at this moment, Xiuge saw that those magic lines that were already abnormal suddenly began to tremble at a high frequency. They looked like buildings that had been hit by an earthquake. It seemed that they would be completely destroyed in the next moment.
collapse!
"Stop!"
He shouted, and the mage's hand immediately appeared, forcing the mage who was performing the ritual to escape backward.
Almost at the same time, a large number of incomplete cracks emerged from the dark pus that was originally paralyzed on the ground. Then, extremely harsh and painful, desperate shouts were vented from these cracks!
