Act 277. experiment
On the other side, in the laboratory, three of Edgar's students had already fainted.
Agnes carried all three of them to the test bench with a mage's hand, and at the same time, she asked Baptiste to find a newborn sea wolf.
She's going to do two experiments.
For the first time, it was the transfer of the soul of a living person into an animal.
Because Baptiste had previously used the souls of dead children that had not yet dissipated, which was different from the direct transfer of souls that Agnes wanted, she needed to verify whether the souls of the living could be transferred.
The second experiment was to transfer the soul of a living person into the body of another living person.
This is Agnes' ultimate pursuit.
She first looked at Andrea, one of Edgar's students, lying on the bench and held in place by a leash, who was sleeping deeply, breathing evenly.
Agnes waved her hand, motioning for Baptiste to tell herself the model of the spell he had constructed to transfer the soul and the details.
After about five minutes, Agnes let Baptiste do the work, while he watched carefully.
She doesn't risk trying it on her own to prevent Baptiste from adding something unnecessary to her spells, you know, magic is a kind of thing, as long as there are subtle differences, it is easy to cause spell casting failure, a slight one will cause a burst of magic power, and a serious one will directly damage the caster.
Baptiste hesitated for a moment before raising his hand.
Although the materials for magic are not common, they are available in the research institute, and the magic array is outlined with the prepared preparation, and then the palm of the palm is facing Andrea's head.
Buzz –
A magical stir echoed in the air, and something imperceptible to the naked eye was changing.
Baptiste's face was pale, his right hand was clenched, as if he was dragging something, which he could support with one hand, but as time passed, sweat was left on his forehead, and his left hand grabbed the wrist of his right hand and exerted all his strength.
As if hearing a wail, Agnes looked at Andrea intently, only to see his body twitch violently, and the next moment, Andrea's eyes opened, but they were pure white without eyeballs.
"No ......"
He just spelled the word out of his mouth, and then, when Baptiste finally pulled something, he took two steps back, and at the same time, all the movements of Andrea's body came to an abrupt halt, his eyes closed and he was no longer breathing.
In Baptiste's hand, some kind of golden mist was swirling, looking like a dream, and these mist were firmly fixed in the palm of his hand by the magic power, and could not escape.
"This is the human soul?"
Agnes narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the golden mist.
Although the necromancy was originally established to study the human soul and eternal life, there is very little real understanding of the soul, on the one hand, because of the old research methods, and on the other hand, the human soul is extremely mysterious.
According to the theory of magic, the heart lake is located in the soul, the core of the soul, and mages can bring their consciousness into the heart lake through meditation, but according to the anatomy, there is no such place in the human body.
The modern necromancy system believes that various bodily functions of human beings must have corresponding body organs, such as eating for the stomach and intestines, breathing for the lungs, etc., but no one knows which organ the soul is carried.
Although it is related to the fact that modern society prohibits human experiments on living subjects, necromancer mages have not found corresponding organs from animals, and even those magical creatures do not have special organs that can carry souls.
This is also an unsolved mystery.
At this moment, the golden mist floating in Baptiste's palm, what he called the soul, did catch Agnes' attention.
Baptiste lowered the mist onto the circle above Andrea's head, and the mist floated in the air, emitting a faint glow.
Next, Baptiste placed the anesthetized sea wolf on the bench.
He took a different circle, and this time, he could clearly see that the golden mist was swirling around the sea wolf's forehead, and its body did not have any special reaction, and it still maintained a steady breathing.
"In this state, the body is able to stay alive, and at the same time, the soul is more likely to move."
Baptiste explained that within a short period of time after the soul is removed, the human body will begin the process of death, and the internal organs of the body will be damaged to varying degrees, and the body will die completely in three minutes at most.
The spell used by Baptiste on the sea wolf was able to maintain the control of the soul over the body, and at the same time pull the soul out, so that other souls could be transferred into this body.
It didn't take two minutes for Baptiste to transfer Andrea's soul to the body of the sea wolf, and at the same time, pull out the sea wolf's soul and place it on top of the circle.
On the other side, Andrea's body gradually cooled, and Baptiste glanced at it and sighed.
It didn't take long for the soul to merge, and after about ten minutes, the sea wolf opened its eyes, first with a cloudiness, and then, when it saw the world clearly, there was fear in it.
"Whew...... Woo......"
It tried to make a sound, but only whimpered, and the sea wolf hurriedly checked its body, and only then did it see its own appearance through the reflection of the metal test table.
It saw its fangs and claws, and it saw the cooled human body not far away.
The sea wolf let out a quick wail and struggled to its feet, but was restrained by the belt of the laboratory table, unable to move.
"Whew...... Woohoo......"
The sea wolf saw Baptiste and cried even louder.
At the same time, there is a hint of complex emotions that only humans possess.
Agnes nodded in satisfaction, confirming the results of the experiment.
"It seems that the soul of a living person can indeed be transferred, at least into an animal."
She glanced at the sea wolf's original soul and asked.
"What do you do with these souls?"
“...... The soul cannot be separated from the body for too long, at most ten minutes, and the exposed soul will begin to dissipate. ”
Baptiste said, he didn't dare to look the sea wolf in the eye, although all this was persecuted by Agnes, but after all, it was because of him, and he was tormented by guilt.
"It's a pity, otherwise I'd like to see what happens when the soul of an animal is transferred to a human body."
Agnes said half-jokingly.
Just then, the sea wolf made another sound.
However, this time, it was not a wail and a wail, but a vague human word that needed to be discerned and heard clearly.
"Kill...... Finish...... I ......"
The sea wolf roared with all his strength.
"Killed...... I ......"
