Chapter Forty-Eight: The One Who Has No Spiritual Relatives
β¦β¦ Immortality technology?
Just hearing this word makes the strangulation creepy for a while.
Even if he strangles himself, he is a mage who is not allowed to exist by the company and the church...... But it is also taboo, and there are differences in purity between them.
Whether it is the immortality of the elves or the immortality of the dragon, it is a top secret that must not be touched and can easily turn the whole world upside down.
In a trance, Strangling seemed to remember the Godfather's first meeting with Tovatus.
At that time, the godfather did not have the name of "godfather", and he was still subordinate to his "barber". And Tovatus, the fierce-eyed elf, only saw him for the first time, and he moved the idea of digging the foot of the wall, promising to grant him "eternal life like a dragon".
That's enough to make everyone present ...... It was everyone, including the strangulation of themselves, who moved the huge benefits of greed.
It was also at that time that the godfather showed his pattern and sobriety for the first time.
He did not hesitate to reject the eternal life that was within reach. The contagion in those words made the strangulation who was holding his breath because of his heart wake.
In retrospect, it must have been the first time the Godfather showed his power as a king.

Strangling is self-ashamed.
For he is now sadly aware that even after the Church Father has reprimanded them, and after the reason that has strangled him, he has clearly realized the difference between eternal life and eternal wealth, eternal power, and eternal solidity...... When he heard the word "eternal life" again, he couldn't help but be moved.
He was fearful and greedy. But his will was clear, and that was why he was aware of it...... This is the gap between him and his godfather.
ββ¦β¦ I suppose if it were the Immortal Technique," Strangler's voice was hoarse and a little dry, "Godfather, he really wouldn't sponsor it."
"He was a man who was incomparably sober and brilliant as the sun. Before that, when he was enticed by an elf to give him eternal life, he did not hesitate to refuse. β
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Dr. Paradise, who was hunched over, turned his head with some interest and opened one of his eyes slightly: "What did he say?" β
"I remember it very well...... He said that what people want to have is never eternal life, but eternal wealth, eternal power, and eternal stability. People pray for eternal life, in the final analysis, for eternal happiness...... The benefit of eternal life for them lies precisely in the fact that others cannot live forever, so the eternal will have an advantage.
"If, after eternal life, there is only endless toil and slavery, then eternity itself is a kind of purgatory."
The strangulation replied word by word: "He said, 'I would rather die a short and brilliant life than live such a humble life.'" β
"Oh......"
Dr. Paradise sighed: "Rather die than live silently." A man with a lot of integrity...... Not bad. As the new king of Downtown, it's a lot better than I expected. β
But then, Paradise changed the subject: "Of course, I think Mr. Detective's immortality technology should not be complete. Probably only a small part of the ...... has been decrypted. Otherwise, he would have been younger.
"The last time I saw him was more than a decade ago. He was so old that he looked like an old man in his sixties and seventies.
"Mr. Detective is now in the triple digits, but he looks like he's no more than thirty or forty years old...... But if you can really reproduce the technology of the elves, you should be as young as a teenager in your hundred years. β
"That's true."
The detective nodded in agreement.
Paradise looked back at the detective and sighed, "I thought you were really dead." Your daughter hasn't had a good time all these years...... After all, she was born from me, and I still have concerns. β
"If I lived, she wouldn't even have such a life."
The detective shook his head, "Just assume I'm dead...... And your research isn't much better than mine. β
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but smile smugly: "Then your news is too far behind." Human in vitro synthesis was already my technology almost twenty years ago, how could I not have made progress in twenty years?
"This is my best 20 years. There is no restraint from the Science Ethics Committee, the crystallization of all the wisdom of this life...... The results of my research were enough to shake Shichishima. β
"Specifically?"
The detective asked with interest, "Can you tell me?" β
And Paradise also nodded happily: "I'm too lazy to say it to others, but I can trust your words." And there aren't many people who can understand the significance of my research, and you should be one of them. β
With that, Dr. Paradise got up from his seat.
From the pile of clutter behind him, a helmet with many electrodes that looked like it had been remodeled from a game helmet that was popular ten years ago was turned out, and handed it over to the inferior first.
"Put it on, and you'll at least be able to speak. It will be easier to communicate. β
He then opened the partition to reveal one of the compartments inside.
It's like a mad scientist in a movie, with all kinds of petri dishes of different sizes.
And in the transparent container in the middle, a teenager with his eyes closed sleeping.
He looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, but to the detective's surpriseβthere were seventeen or eighteen different clones here, but the boy was the only one who had no spiritual features.
This is a ...... that detectives are all too familiar with
With round ears, it is exactly the same as the "ordinary people" in another world...... There are no special individuals with even very mild psychic disease.
Except for him, everyone else has different spiritual relatives. Mostly reptiles, except for two turtles and turtles, and one of them is a bird with wings.
When the strangler and the inferior saw this forbidden scene, although they couldn't understand it at all, they couldn't help but stand up and stand behind and watch.
"That's why I studied synths and clones."
Paradise looked at it and sighed in a low voice, "If nothing else, it's also the reason why the company has forbidden research on this technology." β
"Is this a clone of yourself?"
The detective also came over and guessed.
Dr. Paradise's own spirit relatives are supposed to be turtles and turtles - he has dorsal armor attached to his spine and furrows and folds in his skin.
"yes."
Paradise clapped his hands and exclaimed, "It's you, detective!" My old friend, recognizable at a glance...... Oh, the vast majority of people in this world don't even know what cloning is. That is, you can only know this knowledge if you can survive before the war. β
"Why doesn't he have a spiritual trait?" The detective asked.
He was vaguely aware that he might have touched one of the world's greatest secrets.
One of the three secrets pursued by the Tower of Babel is the origin of the Spiritual Parent.
"There are eighteen clones here, and he's the only one who doesn't have a psychic disease."
Paradise stroked the walls of the jar and sighed in a low voice, "I have thought of many possibilities. Maybe it's the food, maybe it's the air, maybe it's the characteristics of the 'spirit' hidden deep in our genes...... But I really didn't expect that in the end it was he who succeeded.
"I initially postponed the granting of language to them, but after they came to their senses and began to move in the outside world, they gradually awakened their souls. Just a little slower than the average person.
"The average person begins to become spiritually intimate when he can say his name at about seven or eight months. But without teaching them words and any knowledge, the process was delayed until the average age of four, and the latest one to the age of nine...... That is, the one who awakened the bird spirit.
"The difference between him and others is that I used drugs to suppress his brain activity, which made him think less and became a demented child. As a result, the induced time of psychic disease is effectively prolonged...... And the only spirit relatives who are not reptiles have appeared. β
"The difference between this 'standard human' who didn't have any psychic affinity in the end and the individuals next to him is that I cut off part of the nerves in his brain so that he can't distinguish between himself and the outside world. In other words, he doesn't know what 'I' is...... In this case, the psychosis did not occur.
Although this is only an isolated evidence, it is not rigorous enough. But I've already had a suspicion that psychic disorder may have something to do with self and external perceptions.
"When people separate themselves from the outside world in terms of thinking and cognition, there is psychic affinity, which is an infectious disease based on the mind. Starting from this result, the fact that the elves do not have a spirit disease is not a noble bloodline at all...... And this toddler, who does not have any psychic disorders, is not the pointed ears of elves when he grows up, but a hairless round ear.
This shows that the elves are not without psychic affinity, but that they have a special psychic disorder, a mutated psychic disorder that does not depend on animals that exist in reality. For example, a variant of psilocy, or ......"
"βor rather, after the psychic disease is healed, the human will become an elf."
The detective interrupted softly.
Hearing this, Dr. Paradise turned around silently.
In the silence, the hunched old man struggled to open one of his cloudy eyes...... His other eye is an old prosthetic eye, which can only be used for research, not for people.
Paradise smiled with an even terrifying look: "Sure enough, you've touched this realm too." β
