"Also, make good use of that soul fragment in your hand. It can be regarded as an excellent forging material. Of course, only on itself. Stephen thought about it, but reminded Bruce.

"Forging materials?" Bruce's face finally showed some interest. For him, although the study of inventions is not his main vocation, no one can deny his talent in this area.

"You can use it to forge another self. This [self] will generally not be confused, nor will there be conflicting opposing consciousnesses, it will be like a set program. And what determines its behavior and style is the part of the soul personality that you cut out. Do you still have the impulse and psychology to sustain yourself in the exercise of justice? Can you still hold on to your bottom line and rules as you used to? You may not be able to do it at the moment, but you can. Stephen gestured to the orb Bruce was holding.

"You can build a body for him, and then give him the responsibilities you have had in the past. If there are no accidents, I'm sure he'll do as well as you do. And you may be able to try to experience another life for a while. ”

"What you say is very similar to Ah Fu." Bruce looked at him with complicated eyes, he thought of his old butler, and it seemed that his greatest wish was that he could let go of those burdens on his body and live like an ordinary person. Get married, have children, and enter old age. Instead of constantly dealing with a group of criminals, he is always accompanied by danger.

"Thank you for the suggestion. I would venture to ask, have you ever tried to cut your own soul? ”

Bruce's soul question made Stephen a little stuck, and he groaned, "Honestly, I believe in my skills!" You should have had that kind of experience, if you want to achieve something, you have to have a firm belief and have some beliefs and means. Are geniuses paranoid? I think it's just that they firmly believe in themselves.

You've been through this surgery, so you should know what it can do with my hands! I can modify anyone's soul personality at will, and let any personality dominate the body of the operator.

It's similar to mind control and anti-life equations, but the difference is that I just decide that there is a certain personality within you that magnifies it as a pillar. In essence, you are still you, you who are not affected by external forces.

If you can, you can become a so-called god by virtue of this ability. ”

Bruce was silent, instinctively adding another task to himself in his heart. Not urgently, but must.

"I think you're thinking about something very offensive." Stephen sensitively interrupted his words and looked at Bruce, who couldn't hide his subtle emotions well. Stephen was able to sense Bruce's mood swings at the moment through his psychic sense. He sensed a malice in Bruce's emotions. Not intensely, but existentially.

Bruce couldn't have regarded him as an enemy now, but he had malicious intent, and apparently after hearing his words, he had developed emotions such as fear, disgust, defensiveness, and targeting in his heart.

And rightfully so. But when you think of Bruce's cautious and suspicious personality, it's hard to say whether he has any ideas for targeted confrontation.

"Don't be so defensive of me. This power is indeed very powerful, but it is also very frightening. But it's not a panacea. I have my own bottom line with it.

I see it as a kind of surgery, and it requires a lot of preparation and conditions before surgery. Surgery on the soul is a delicate job. Don't look at me with such a simple few cuts on my body, but the consumption on me is very large.

And the most feared thing about surgery is the patient's turmoil, so you need the power of believing! I believe it is the best anesthetic for this operation. The more trusting you are, the less pain and the less painful the surgery will be. ”

"So you asked me, 'Do you believe me,' to fulfill that condition?" Bruce thought for a moment, thinking of the words in the spirit world where Stephen suddenly asked him without a beginning or an end. Before, he thought it was a subtle reminder to him, but now it seems that it is a psychological guidance ritual?

"yes, if you don't cut it before letting the abyss completely pollute your dark side, then the follow-up will be tricky. Luckily, you still have some trust in me. Not much though! Stephen smiled and continued, "The mages of Kama Taj will breed all kinds of spiritual growths in the early stage because of their spiritual cultivation, that is, their personality paranoia. The longer it passes, the greater the impact. So my other job is to help mages in need clean up their souls of personality growths.

Of course, unlike your direct cut, they're removing the growth and returning it to their preferred limits. There are also some radicals who want to cut off a lot of personalities that they think are obstacles, and then practice well. But this radical approach also has serious consequences. Break your own balance.

In the early days, I thought that this technique should be promoted among mages in the same way as medical skills, and many mages who were qualified to read could find someone on their own or perform an operation on their own if they had concerns. But the consequence of this is that there are still several radical mad mages in the prison of the Energy Bank who are engaged in mandatory introspection.

So this technology has to become a member of the forbidden book zone. Wang, my deputy, a mage who is both learned and powerful, thinks that this technique is best not to spread. His style is much more sedate and cautious than mine. I really should have listened to him. ”

"If this technology spreads, it will indeed be a disaster. Those who are not right-minded will cause you great trouble. Bruce agreed with the mage king. Although it seems that this technology appeared to cure diseases and save people, solve some diseases and troubles, it is also a big hidden danger.

"In fact, the conditions for learning it are quite difficult. Even though I have explained in great detail and simplified the difficulty of mastering as much as possible, in fact, even if it is a simplified version, there are few people who can really master it. It does eat talent. "Stephen is also very sorry, except for his teacher Gu Yi, who has really mastered some surgical techniques, there are only a few in the entire Kama Taj such as Mordo and Mage King. The one who is most interested and talented in this technology outside is actually Loki of Asgard. Although he changed his four dislikes.

"You ask me, have I ever cut my soul?" Stephen shifted his body in his chair, "Actually, I did!" I cut out most of my technical experience, and Luke used that part of my experience to create the Soul Operating Room. Well, I have shares, the kind that can enjoy dividends. ”
