Over the course of a night, by questioning the Nightmare and reading the notes intermittently, Thor figured out a little bit what was going on with the Nightmare.

Heywood's notes say that the eggs of each Nightmare Butterfly are not their children, but their new bodies. If nothing else, the Dream Demon Butterfly can be reborn by transferring its consciousness body to its own egg.

In this way, they can also inherit the memories of the past, that is, the history of their mouths.

But it seems that this approach can be problematic as well.

Because Heywood had learned from the tower master that the process of the transfer of the Dream Demon Butterfly was also their most vulnerable moment.

It is said that some official wizards—here Heywood labels them "at least second-order wizards"—will specifically watch the process to capture the Dream Butterfly.

Of course, the dying outburst of the Dream Demon Butterfly is also terrifying. It's not for nothing that high-ranking wizards have died on this.

At the same time, the transfer of the Dream Demon Butterfly is often recorded with the help of dreams, and the stronger the spiritual body, the better the dream of the person.

This can greatly shorten their period of weakness.

"So Penny originally wanted to be reborn from my dreams?"

"Yes, and in order to draw strength from your history, she also made observations of you."

Thor: "...... No wonder she would have confessed to me at the time. ”

His history can involve world-to-world travel. It's not the kind of crossing that leads to a small world from an ordinary big world. Rather, the underlying rules are that there are a lot of different worlds to cross over.

Even he himself almost fell into it while trying to observe his own history, how could he have the spare strength to save people.

"Do you remember what you observed?"

The little butterfly fluttered its wings, "If I remember, it's me who doesn't exist." ”

"Okay."

Thor was a little sorry, if he could take this opportunity to know what happened when he passed, would he have a chance to know if there was anything wrong with his soul.

However, after an inexplicable crisis, Thor did not figure out if he had experienced any special events during the crossing.

And Penny the Observer only peeked a little, and thus lost part of her own history, becoming a tsundere little butterfly.

"How do I feel like I've become a bomb?" Thor shook his head, exploring the mysteries was more dangerous than he had imagined.

"So I should still focus on the idea of the resurrection experiment to remove the rejection of the soul by the container. I study the peculiarities of my soul, and I don't necessarily get any results. If you let Gorsa's mentor do research in the end......"

Saul knows too well what the consequences of being someone else's experiment can be. Hayden and Herman are living examples.

Life and death are not up to people, and neither is gender.

Thinking of this, Thor looked at the Dream Demon Butterfly.

"Do you still have the ability to observe history?"

"Nope!" Little Butterfly replied very dryly.

"What about the ability to change other people's memories?"

"Not anymore!"

Thor crossed his arms, if it was before, he naturally didn't want the Dream Demon Butterfly to have this ability to change cognition.

But now that it's a bookmark, Thor naturally wants his pet to be stronger.

But on the other hand, if the ability of the Dream Demon Butterfly in front of him is still as strong as before, I'm afraid that Thor's current strength will not be able to recover it.

He simply asked, "And what else do you have now?" ”

"I don't know!"

Thor sighed, and was about to take the Dream Demon Butterfly back, but the little butterfly seemed to sense his intentions, and suddenly flew up, and said pitifully: "Brother Thor, can you not take me to that dark place?" ”

"Not going back? Can you stay outside for a long time? ”

"Why not? I've been out there all the time. ”

Thor pondered for a moment, the Dream Demon Butterfly was originally a special life between the witch body and the consciousness.

Perhaps she is not the same as the soul of the wizard's apprentice and can act alone outside.

Thinking of this, Thor agreed to Dream Demon Butterfly's request, "Then you can stay outside first." If you feel anything unusual and want to go back, you can call me at any time. ”

"Thank you, Brother Saul, you're so nice!"

The Dream Demon Butterfly spun in the air and landed on Thor's cheek, its tentacles touching Thor's face.

Thor only felt a slight coldness.

"Dream Demon Butterfly...... Forget it, I'll call you Penny in the future, although you have forgotten your history, you should still be her. ”

"Well, I like the name Penny!" The Dream Demon Butterfly, which has lost part of its history, did not resist the name in the slightest and gladly accepted it.

】

"Penny, why does your consciousness exist on its own apart from the flesh? The body of consciousness is supposed to be very fragile, and without a body, it is difficult to resist the pollution and alienation that can occur at any time. ”

"Because I have history, knowing history allows me to confirm my existence, and the more history I know, the more solid my power becomes. Even if you get hurt occasionally, you can find yourself in the back of history. ”

"But you've lost most of your memories now, is that dangerous?"

"Normally, yes, but now I'm in a special situation."

"You're saying your connection to the journal protects you?"

"It turns out that dark place is called Diary, what a strange name."

Saul doesn't explain, and Penny doesn't need to know about the diary.

In short, the way Dream Demon Butterfly's independent consciousness body survives does not work for wizards.

Thor pauses studying Penny for a moment, and he puts the notes back in the sealed lead box and returns to the lab area to clean up the mess.

He hadn't yet discovered why Herman had suddenly become abnormal when he entered the female corpse.

That afternoon, when Hayden came to look for Thor as usual, he found that the tall man who was following him was missing.

Before he could ask, he saw Herman standing in the middle of the group of corpses with his eyes closed at the outermost part of the second storeroom.

He suddenly showed a hint of panic, "Lord Thor, Hull is ......"

Thor followed Hayden's gaze and looked over, knowing in his heart, but only said in his mouth: "Something went wrong with the experiment." ”

A hint of trepidation suddenly rose in Hayden's heart. He followed Thor appregetantly.

Hull's "death" made Hayden nervous, he didn't expect Thor to consume a test subject so quickly.

Although he took the risk of participating in the indoctrination experiment, Hayden was mentally prepared to be studied in various ways. Before coming to Thor, he also knew that he already knew how to study himself, after all, even a normal wizard apprentice would become an experimental subject of the mentors, either voluntarily or forced.

However, when he actually saw that some test subjects were consumed, there was still a great fear in his heart.

When Hayden walked to the testing area at a much slower pace than usual, he was startled by the equipment that appeared in front of him.

"Inductive chair?"

In an instant, the time when he had just become a test subject resurfaced in Hayden's mind. The sluggish and insensory feedback of his new body and the painful experiments that he carried out day and night made him nervous.

Hayden stood still, unable to take another step forward.

The electricity of his imagination hit his whole body, and he thought that all the hairs on his body had exploded, but in fact, only his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Hayden knew that he had no way to disobey Thor's orders, even if he would die in the next second, he could only obediently cooperate.

But knowing is knowing, but her body is standing there very honestly.

Thor walked over to turn on the inductor, and he sensed Hayden's fear, so he explained the experiment in advance to make him not so nervous.

"What we are going to study today is the repulsion of the corpse to the soul. A moment you sit up and your consciousness tries to break free of your body, and I record the reactions of all parts of your body. ”

Thor adjusted his chair and looked back at Hayden.

Look, it won't power you.

But Hayden still stood still, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Thor frowned, "What are you worried about?" ”

Hayden's trembling eyes moved from the inductor to Thor, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak.

However, just as Thor was about to forcefully order him to start the experiment, Hayden in front of him suddenly shuddered.

The aura of fear in her body faded like a tide, and when she looked up again, her eyes were already full of determination and a hint of madness.

"He doesn't dare, I dare, my lord." Hayden's second personality slowly pulled a stiff smile across his face.
