Chapter 66: The Birth of a Psychopath
What does it feel like to be a cat?
This is a very subjective question.
For people who are addicted to cat sucking and rely on petting cats to reshape their lives, becoming a cat may be a blessing to God, but for a person with a sound personality and healthy living habits, the feeling of becoming a cat is a little more subtle.
Zheng Qing pinched his chin, recalling the vague experience of being a cat during the day, and felt that this question was not easy to answer.
"When you become a cat, you feel free, you feel free. He hesitated, trying to pick the right words in his answer: "Of course, cats don't have the same perspective as people......"
"A little deeper, a little deeper. Xiao Xiao impatiently interrupted Zheng Qing's pale description, waved the brush in his hand, and emphasized: "Go deep into your own memories and find more specific and detailed pictures...... For example, what did you do when you were a cat today?"
Zheng Qing's mind immediately came to mind the wooden bench under the boulevard.
And that delicate smile.
and a soft embrace.
A layer of heat involuntarily appeared on his face.
"What are you blushing?" Xiao Xiao lowered his head, his gaze shot out from the top of the frame of his glasses, and examined the public scholarship student in front of him.
"Refreshed. Zheng Qing's brain didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he opened his mouth and pulled it.
"Why is it yellow again..."The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched, and he continued to ask very cooperatively.
"Wax applied in the cold. The young public-funded student finally got rid of the beautiful picture in his mind, looked at the big doctor in front of him with a smile, and looked flattering: "What time is it? Is it time to eat? Do you want me to help you bring food?"
"No hurry, no hurry, I'll talk about the meal later...... Let's talk about what you did when you were a cat. Xiao Xiao put the brush on the inkstone, hugged his arms, leaned back, looked at the young public scholarship student in front of him with interest, and guessed:
"You're not in the habit of lying, you just went a little too far...... So, you must have done something nasty...... Did you go into the girls' dormitory and see something you shouldn't see?"
"Nonsense!" Zheng Qing jumped up from his chair like a fried cat.
"Not really. Xiao Xiao pinched his chin and nodded again and again: "The defensive magic in the girls' dormitory is more than ten times that of the boys...... Without an invitation, not even a male ant can climb in...... Male ant, male ...... Have you become a she-cat?"
"You've just become a female cat!" Zheng Qing rolled his eyes and replied angrily: "Brother is male from head to toe, bah, he is a man from head to toe!"
Xiao Xiao finally gave up the idea of pulling the answer directly out of Zheng Qing's mouth.
But he didn't give up on continuing to get first-hand information about Transfiguration from young scholarship students.
He flipped through his notebook and shook his head: "Originally, I didn't want to be so troublesome......"
Zheng Qinghu stared at him suspiciously, not knowing what this big doctor was doing.
"Ahem. Xiao Xiao cleared his throat, and no longer continued to ask Zheng Qing about how he felt after turning into a cat, but began to systematically and self-care about the information about the transformation magic.
“...... Transfiguration is a profound form of magic......"
“...... Because this spell involves the process of distorting the soul and reshaping the material at the same time. ”
"Deep down in every wizard's heart, there are unique beliefs and projections...... When this belief is projected into reality through magic, it will unconsciously guide the wizard to become an existence that matches their heart. ”
"Whether it's a rat or a bed bug...... Or a tree that never moves, standing alone in the wilderness. ”
"Can a wizard still turn into a tree?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt the doctor's self-talk, and said curiously, "I remember that when Professor Yi explained to me the concept of transformation potions, he mentioned that I could only become a ...... in the zodiac"
"To be precise, it's part of the zodiac, some insects, and a handful of cold-blooded animals. Xiao Xiao nodded: "The Transfiguration Technique of the Plant Department is a rare and ancient spell, and the related inheritance involves faith and long-term unique cultivation...... Historically, these shamans were called 'druids'. ”
"Self-cultivated Transfiguration is able to give wizards a wider range of transfiguration options by briefly distorting the projection of their inner depths...... Some of the legendary wizards can even achieve a one-day, or even ever-changing, feat. ”
"Transfiguration through potions will only turn into a fixed creature based on your characteristics......"
"I never felt like a cat. Zheng Qing took out his black donkey's hooves from the gray cloth bag, and replied sullenly while playing with it.
"That's your thing...... In short, you can't go wrong with magic. Dr. Xiao shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to argue on this issue, but continued to patiently analyze:
"According to the 'law of conservation of souls', in a multidimensional environment, the mass of the soul during three-dimensional biological transformation is constant, and this value is about between 3.04 and 3.05 power of e...... Due to the natural instability of the dimension, this value always fluctuates slightly, and wizards are unable to obtain a certain exact number for the time being. ”
“...... This means that even if you become a cat, the quality of your soul will not deteriorate...... Therefore, your cat must have intelligence and abilities far beyond the average wild cat. ”
Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.
That's right.
Cats who can understand human speech and have the ability to think logically must be extremely intelligent.
So far, the young government-funded students have listened to it with relish.
Xiao Xiao is worthy of being a big guy with the title of doctor.
This explanation turned out to be much more profound than what Professor Yi mentioned.
“...... Correspondingly, after the transformation, although the wizard's self-perception will not be interrupted - that is, after normal transformation, the wizard will always maintain himself - but his relevant aesthetics and likes will be close to the transformed creature. ”
"For example, you become a cat. ”
"Then not only is your appearance a cat, but your preferences and aesthetics will also be closer to cats...... This is the result of the interaction between the cat personality and the personality. ”
"At this time, although you have not completely turned into a cat, you must be very different from the original you. It's no longer pure human beings. ”
"This is also the main reason why Transfiguration is classified as a high-risk spell by the Wizarding Alliance. ”
"Without a strong soul and a strong will, wizards will be tormented by the sense of division between different species before and after the transformation. ”
"In fact, according to the division of the white dings, any wizard who has learned Transfiguration is a 100% schizophrenic...... It's just that the severity of the split is different. ”
Huh?!
Zheng Qing blinked, swept the black donkey's hooves in his hand, and wondered whether to smash it into the face of the four-eyed field chicken in front of him.
How did you suddenly become mentally ill?
