Section 686 The Birth of Thinking
Grea's creation of the spell continues to burn, but now all wizards are focusing more on Grea's "birth technique", and they are all speculating about the connotation of the birth spell and what is the difference between it and the creation technique. As for Ingres's matter, it slowly extinguished the heat, but Ingres's reputation and the alchemy illusion he refined left a name in everyone's hearts.
In the past week, Angel has not left the Illusion Island, and all the time has been devoted to refining the Alchemy Fantasy Realm.
By the time 233 came to him, he had already refined nearly a hundred alchemy illusions, and the entire laboratory was densely covered with dazzling crystal balls.
"Master Pat, this is the report of the first phase of the undead's experiment. 233 handed a stack of records to Angell.
After roughly flipping over, the male undead who were hit by the white light bullet did not continue to change in appearance during this week, and still maintained the state of "semi-undead". However, according to 233's language tests, it was found that the half-undead had a noticeable mental jump.
"He has a strong ability to think and learn, and he can draw inferences. My guess is that he probably still has some of his verbal memory during his lifetime. 233 paused: "It only took him a week, and he was basically able to achieve logical and thinking language skills." ”
"You mean he now has a mind of his own, and can have a conversation?" Ingres asked.
233 nodded, "He should have a mind now, but he doesn't cooperate with the conversation." Moreover, although he has a certain amount of wisdom, he is actually still subject to the disordered energy in his body, and his actions and thoughts are full of obvious evil thoughts. ”
In other words, he is still a notorious undead in terms of destructive desires and behavior. But a little more thinking skills.
"Go over and see. Angels gathered away a room of crystal balls and went to the closed lab next door.
When Angel arrived, the half-undead raised his eyes, as if sensing a new breath from the outside world. At the same time, the corners of his mouth curled into a malicious smile and looked overhead.
"What's your name. Ingres asked in a low voice.
The half-undead laughed wildly in the sealed laboratory, and it took a few moments for the half-undead to spit out a few words full of murderous intent: "Crush...... Chopped into slag...... Hahahaha, return me the banyan flower......"
233 whispered in Angel's ear: "During this time, I found that he was very obsessed with this western banyan flower, and I later went to check it, as if it was a legendary plant that could be eaten immortal by eating it in the Empire. However, this is just a mortal legend, and there are wizards to verify it, and it is actually the flower of the blue pillar. ”
The Flower of the Blue Pillar, a low-level magic plant, can refine a low-level potion with it as its main ingredient - Light Blue Water. Light Blue Water can increase the maximum lifespan of 5-15 years, there is a limit to the number of times it can be used, and the same life-increasing potions can no longer be used when using Light Blue Water.
From the effect of the light blue water, it can be seen that the flower of the blue pillar does have the effect of prolonging life, but immortality is impossible.
Moreover, the vast majority of wizards, including wizard apprentices, dislike that the upper limit of light blue water to increase life is too small, and they don't buy it for light blue water.
After listening to 233's words, Angel turned to the half-undead and asked, "What do you want the West Banyan Flower to do?"
"That's mine! How dare Ziro lie to me, how dare he lie to me...... I'm going to kill him!" the half-undead shouted frantically.
Angels heard a new name: Ziro.
"Ziro framed and killed you, and then robbed you of the banyan flower, so you were unwilling to fall into the undead?" Ingres looked at the half-undead in the secret room below, "Am I right?"
"What's right, give me the banyan flower...... Let me out, I'm going to kill Ziro and tear him to shreds. ”
Ingres bowed slightly, judging from the half-undead's answer, he did have the ability to think, and he seemed to remember the events of his life.
However, although he has a certain memory, as 233 said, he is still affected by the huge disordered energy in his body, and his mind is full of paranoia, resentment, and negative things, which is still fundamentally different from a pure soul body.
"Let's do the second phase of experimentation. Ingres took out the codex from the bracelet and recorded the situation of the half-undead, and he already roughly knew the behavior of the half-undead after being shot, that is, from an undead who had no wisdom and only knew how to kill, to an undead who had a certain amount of wisdom but still only knew how to kill.
Speaking of which, it's really useless.
At most, with a little wisdom, the means of letting them kill people can be a little roundabout. But the disorder energy still controls the overall situation, so the comprehensive evaluation is still very reckless.
"This half-step mystery, it feels like the effect is too different from the half-step mystery in the Living Soul Garden, right?" Ingres wondered, or was he using it incorrectly?
Ingres shook his head, descended the stairs, and pushed open the door to the closed lab.
As soon as he pushed open the door, the half-undead frantically attacked him.
But with the magic pattern in the way, he could only show his teeth and claws within the circle.
Angel couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene: with wisdom, it still has no effect, and this white light bullet feels really wasteful.
Angel raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed it at the half-undead.
He was going to see if the half-undead would change after being hit by two bullets.
The second bullet, accompanied by a glowing tentacle, hit the half-undead without hindrance. His body trembled, and in the flash of white light, he fell to the ground.
Angels left the lab, leaving SCP-233 to keep an eye on the second phase of the experiment.
Two days later, 233 sent a report -
The stable energy in the body of the half-undead continued to increase, while the chaotic energy decreased significantly. However, the strength of the reduction is much weaker than that of the first bullet, and when the balance is finally reached, the stable energy accounts for about 3/4 of the body of the half-undead, and the disorder energy accounts for 1/4.
That is, the second bullet, which can only reach half of the effect of the first bullet.
When Ingres saw the half-undead again, he found that his mood was more stable than not long ago, and even when Ingres entered the laboratory to confront him, he did not make the first move, but observed him.
As the disordered energy decreases, the ability to think is stronger and calmer.
But the malice and resentment in his eyes have not diminished much, which means that he has not escaped the structure of the undead.
"Young Master Pat, what should I do now?" 233 asked.
Angel raised the muzzle of his gun and fired a third shot at the half-undead, the white bullet still sinking into his chest.
Angel turned to 233 and said, "Continue to observe his situation and record all the ups and downs of energy." ”
Two days later, when Ingres saw the final report, his eyes flashed that the effect of the third bullet was still decreasing, half the effect of the previous bullet.
In other words, the undead now have about 7/8 of the stable energy in their bodies, and 1/8 of the disorder energy remains.
According to this decreasing rate, no matter what, the disordered energy in the undead's body will not disappear, as long as there is a trace of disordered energy, he still belongs to the undead.
"The logic of his thinking is clearer now than ever. 233 said, "Still, his malice towards living beings remains undiminished. ”
Angel looked at 233: "What do you think will change if he continues?"
233 was stunned, he didn't expect Angels to ask him such a question, as if he was asking for his opinion. 233 was a little flattered, and his mind was tumbling quickly, and after summarizing the observation of the past half a month, he carefully considered the wording:
"Young Master Pat, this half-undead spirit has become more and more intelligent and calmer as the stable energy in his body increases. I think that continuing will only change him from a chaotic evil spirit to a highly intelligent evil spirit. If you remain in the world, it will be a great disaster. ”
Ingres nodded, and 233's answer was actually similar to what Ingres had originally thought.
However, he has always wondered in his heart, is this reincarnation overture just to create a high-IQ undead?
It stands to reason that there are thousands of mysterious things, and it is not uncommon to have such mysterious effects. But let's not forget what is the main theme of the overture to reincarnation?
The main theme is to destroy the undead!
depicts the "Prelude to Extinction" magic energy array, which is to destroy the undead in the world.
This revolver exists to destroy the undead, but its bullet is: create a highly intelligent undead?
This makes Ingres feel conflicted.
It stands to reason that when he first refined the reincarnation overture, he wanted to destroy the undead, the refiner's original intention was to destroy the undead, and his main function was indeed to eliminate the undead, but the mysterious effect was contrary to the refiner and the demonic energy array, is there such a possibility?
Perhaps, but Ingres felt that the reincarnation overture should not be that accident.
Assuming that the mysterious effect of the reincarnation overture is still to destroy the undead, then what is the point of him creating such a high-IQ undead?
Ingres pondered for a long time, and had an answer in his heart.
He's going to start the fourth phase of the experiment.
Angel stood in front of the half-undead again, and after being shot three times in a row, the half-undead on the opposite side not only improved his intelligence, but also the figurative coat was no longer tattered.
He wears a coffee-colored half-shoulder cloak vest, a checkered round hat, and a silver pendant around his waist.
From the initial communication, Ingres can conclude that he should have been a mortal during his lifetime, otherwise it would be impossible not to know the flower of the blue pillar. Now his dress is probably the same as the dress before his death, and he should be a new nobleman who pursues flashiness.
He sat on a bench and stared at Angel with resentful eyes.
However, Ingres found that there was not only malice in his eyes, but also a faint "expectation".
"What are you expecting? Expectation, I'll shoot you with it?" Angel said, holding a spear in his hand, and looked at the man opposite.
The half-undead were silent for a long time, and for the first time asked Ingres, "Who are you? What is your purpose?"
Angel didn't answer, but slowly raised the muzzle of his gun.
"Didn't you guess what the purpose was? This time, I'm still going to shoot. However, unlike in the past, I shot to kill you. With that, Angel activated the "Extinction Overture" magic energy array at the man.
A ripple rippled out from the muzzle of the gun.
