Chapter 234: The World of Books (Part II)
The brightness of the plot page was not until later after Mousse entered the "opposite side" with his own consciousness, and he vaguely guessed that it could affect the unlocking degree of the plot, or the upper limit of the strength of the characters who could appear.
Although this is useless for the time being, Mousse vaguely guessed a possibility, but whether it is correct or not will not be revealed until the ability of the Book Fruit awakens in the future......
For now, it doesn't seem to matter whether the plot page is bright or dim, at least when Mousse tries to suck the souls of others, he finds that no matter which plot page he chooses, the effective distance is still the same, exactly the same, and there is no difference at all.
That's right, the opposite side of the Mousse Book World is the same as the "Book World" of Charlotte Mondor in the original time and space, which can absorb the souls of enemies, and unlike the latter, which can only be used to deter souls close to the face and have to meet a reckless man like Luffy and wait for himself to collide before he has a chance to yin the other party, the "effective range" of this Dementor of Mousse is much farther!
Especially those whose strength and mousse are estimated to be targets with weaker souls, and mousse can forcibly collect their souls into the book world from a distance of hundreds of meters, turning them into unconscious living dead.
And for Hormitz, whose soul is already unstable, this trick is their nemesis, even the three Homiz made from Charlotte Lingling's own soul are no exception, Prometheus, who volunteered to participate in the test, unfortunately died on the spot, but fortunately, Charlotte Lingling immediately redid a new one......
It was also because of this "accident" that Mousse never tested Hormitz again, because he realized that unlike a real life form that can be resurrected by simply putting the soul back after the soul is drained, Homiz completely ceases to exist once he loses his soul, and even if he returns his soul later, it is also the source of his soul......
Although Charlotte Lingling can be redone after regaining her soul, is the remade Hormitz the same as before?
Maybe only God knows......
Becoming Homitz's nemesis doesn't mean much, unless Mousse wants to rebel against his mother, but encountering some other similar Devil Fruit abilities, such as zombies made by Shadow Fruit, may have the same miraculous effect, and it can't be said that it is worthless.
Having said that, the main value of the "dementor" ability in the book world is still for people, being able to separate the human body from the soul without killing them directly, which is even more important than containing the enemy itself, because Mousse realized a possibility that excites him very much:
"If the soul body can be safely separated, it can also strip the 'demon' out, right?"
But the subsequent experiments poured cold water on the mousse:
After the soul of the subject who ate the Devil Fruit was taken, the fruit prepared in the underwater laboratory did not transform into the Devil Fruit, and it took n days for the Devil Fruit to finally appear, but at this time, because the body had been starved to death, the soul returned by Mousse did not resurrect it, but because the body died and there was no protection from the book world, it was immediately annihilated......
Even Vegapunk was about to give up when he learned of this result, but Mousse still meditated, hoping to unravel the deeper reasons for this result......
And he really found it:
"I see! This state is not the same as brain death in the strict sense, the latter is that the brain is seriously damaged and can no longer recover sanity, that is to say, it is theoretically impossible to save it, and the 'demon' will only leave after confirming this, and the soul body separation only needs to return the soul to be resurrected, which can't fool the 'demon'! After all, there is already a 'Yellow Spring Fruit' with a similar mechanism in the Devil Fruit! ”
Then Mousse came up with a very bold solution: "After taking the soul, destroy the brain to cause brain death, let the 'demon' escape, and then transplant the brain tissue of the clone back to restore it to an intact brain, and then return the soul, and then the 'demon' can be safely peeled off!" ”
As soon as the idea came to mind, Mousse realized that there was no need to make it so complicated:
"Wait, it seems like a bit of a pants off fart - it's too much, kill the original body, and then just put the soul back on the clone? If you can, the safety factor will be much higher. ”
And even if you think that the clone has not been fully exercised, and directly replacing the original body is only afraid that it will greatly damage your strength, you can still use this to verify the feasibility first, after all, a god-level surgeon who has the ability to transplant brain tissue is not so good......
However, even if the youngest prisoner was deliberately selected and frozen to prevent him from getting older, Vegapunk also accelerated the cloning process to save time, which would still take nearly four years to complete.
So Mousse lowered the requirements even further, trying to see if clones who had not grown to the same age could accept souls, and the experiment was successful!
In this way, there is no need to do two other experiments with more stringent conditions to do the verification......
However, Mousse's bigger discovery was that Vegapunk had no experience in cloning before, otherwise he wouldn't have known that even if the cultivation was not accelerated, the clones would have premature aging, and they would only have a lifespan of up to 20 years......
No wonder it took so much time to prepare, this guy is clearly using the Charlotte family's money to practice!
Mousse finally understood that this guy refused to admit that he was his teacher, because he had no confidence in his own discipline......
Well, complaining and complaining, Mousse can understand why Vegapunk has not done cloning experiments before, because the original scientific research team had Vince Mock Gaji to do this work, so why should he waste his time?
As for before joining that scientific research team, Vegapunk was actually better at mechanics and electronics, although the level of biochemistry was not bad, but it was far from being compared with the current one, and he had not even been exposed to cloning technology.
After all, this is a real world, and even a super genius scientist who is said to be 500 years ahead of the world can not complete a project in a day, and it is wise to make full use of the power of others and concentrate their talents on topics that are more interesting.
Having said that, because the clone has the phenomenon of premature aging, it was originally just a verification of the cloning experiment conceived by Mousse, and after he decided to continue tracking, there was an unexpected gain:
"It seems that the clones who have received the original soul are aging much slower! Is the problem of premature clone aging really because of the incomplete soul? ”
Mousse immediately linked it to the principle of independent Homiz, and it dawned on him:
"So as long as there is no damage, whether the cultivation of clones is accelerated has no effect on its lifespan, and even if it is not accelerated, it will be lost?"
