"Hayden, that's all for today's work. You go back ......."

Saul's words came to an abrupt end the moment he saw Hayden.

Hayden was sitting on the ground with his back leaning limply against the wall.

She looked up with difficulty and pulled a smile at Thor, "My lord, I probably won't be able to move now. ”

Hayden's eyes fell off and rolled to his robe and under the lab bench beside him.

And the culprit of his eyes falling out was a white prismatic crystal protruding from his eye socket.

Thor immediately put the notes and alpha necklace in his compressed bag, and walked quickly to Hayden's side.

He carefully examined Hayden's skull and found that in addition to the eyes, ears, and sides of the neck, there were crystals precipitated.

They protrude from under the skin like bone spurs, but they don't bleed from the wound.

It seems that the artificial blood in the experiment's body is dissolved the moment it flows out, becoming part of the crystal.

As a soul-infused test subject, Hayden originally needed to have a regular check-up every six months.

But the last examination was carried out earlier due to the termination of the experimental project, and now nearly half a year has passed, and Hayden's body is showing signs of collapse!

】

Thor could have followed the example of Mentor Kaz and helped Hayden remove the "rust" from his body, but looking at Hayden's current situation, the problem may be his brain.

That's the part that Mentor Rum is responsible for, and Thor doesn't even understand the principle.

"My lord, I, am I finished?" Hayden's voice trembled a little.

There are dots of crystals on the tip of his tongue that occasionally shows, and there is also a similar substance on the fair skin at the neckline.

The hands and feet, which are far away from the skull, are normal.

But when Thor reached for his musculature and found that it felt hard and hard, he knew that it would not be long before Hayden's body would be pierced by the crystal.

The soul infusion experiment was terminated, and Hai Deng's body couldn't hold on for even a year.

Thor seriously doubted that even if he was a test subject for regular maintenance, he would be able to last two or three more years.

Thor gently clasped Hayden's body to the ground, and then ran his fingertips behind her back.

The clothes on Hayden's back immediately tore apart and fell to the sides, revealing her back and the golden circle on her back.

There was nothing wrong with the golden circle, but between the changes in the circle, a face of extreme pain was revealed.

Obviously, Hayden's true feelings had been cut off by the circle, otherwise she should have twitched on the ground in pain by now, instead of just spreading it flat on the ground like a dead fish.

"It's good that the circle doesn't go wrong." Thor breathed a sigh of relief, "Hayden, your body comes from a modified second-level apprentice corpse, and now the filling inside the corpse has apparently had an irreversible reaction. I can help you remove these crystals for the time being, so that you can resume your basic actions, but this can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. ”

Thor flipped Hayden's body out, and found that a white lens had also appeared on his lips.

"And with my ability, I can't completely restore you to your previous state. But you have one more choice......"

Thor paused for a few seconds, allowing Hayden to digest the previous information.

When he saw Hayden's slowly pursed lips, he continued, "I will temporarily seal you in a solution that will dissolve the crystals on your body, and at the same time dissolve the filler of your body, leaving you in a state of paralysis temporarily. And in the process do your best to restore the contamination of your spirit.

I'll find you another body after that. But during this time, you will be in a state where you can only think and not move for a long time.

To prevent you from going insane, I will seal your consciousness at the same time and make it all a dream.

It's just that whether this dream can be woken up or not is not certain...... These are all experimental scenarios that have never been tested. So, are you willing to take the risk? ”

Hai Lantern slowly opened her mouth, her mouth was already full of crystals, like a crystal cave, not a person's mouth.

"I do." Her voice was a little unconventional, but one that was firm.

Thor was stunned for fear of hearing two voices in it, one being Hayden and the other being his second personality.

In this life-and-death crisis, they did not hesitate to make the same choice.

Thor nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'll get started." ”

Immediately, he got up and began to prepare the solution.

He has already prepared most of the materials, as long as they are configured on site.

The material containing the solution is the sarcophagus, which is large enough and has a good seal.

In the process of preparing the solution, he began to use knives, saws, etc., to cut off the large prismatic crystals that were evident from Hayden's body.

You can't use witchcraft, for fear of triggering a mutation reaction.

With a cacophony of rubbing, his consciousness drifted to the necklace in his arms.

Then he shook his head and chuckled.

Just now, when facing Nick's corpse, listening to the sound of "smash it", Thor had doubts about Klee for a moment.

Her father was the Duke of Megaodi, the highest-ranking nobleman in the Duchy of Kema. And the apprentice of the Brie wizard, who once sent a slender ghost to Thor, is also a court wizard that can only be accessed by high-level nobles.

The letter that Kismet gave to Thor was also handed to Klee through Klee's brother, and it reached him.

Coupled with today's "toxic and fragile" birthday present, it is difficult for Saul not to have a series of associations, and even begin to doubt his friendship over the past three years.

But when his chaotic thoughts are interrupted by Hayden's misfortune, he is calmed out by the shift in attention.

When you calm down, you can think more about it.

At the very least, when Klee first came to Thor's aid, no one knew about his talent except the tower master.

This time, even without the aid of a diary, Thor is willing to trust his own judgment, his instincts.

But it also gave him a wake-up call.

Thor clapped his hands, picked up the clean, slippery Hayden that he had handled, and slowly put it into the solution that had begun to react violently to witchcraft.

During this time, Hayden kept clenching his teeth.

No matter how much pain it caused her by cutting the crystals and the solution corroding the skin, she didn't let out a single moan.

In the final moments when her face was submerged in the solution, Hayden struggled to turn his head towards Thor and look at him with eyes that had lost their eyeballs.

Thor leaned down, and even though his arms were also soaked in the solution from holding Hayden, and even though Hayden probably couldn't see anything at this time, he still smiled mildly and said, "Sleep, have a sweet dream." ”

……

The thick and irritating liquid seals the facial features, darkness descends, and the pain is away for a moment.

A little bit of light shone brightly, and the silver butterfly floated by, revealing the endless black curtain.

The sun was shining down on Hayden's eyelids.

Hayden opened his eyes and subconsciously raised his hand to block the sun.

Bright light pierced through, turning the palm of the hand into a slightly transparent orange-red.

He sat up on the ground and found himself lying on the grass in his family's small garden.

"Hayden!" The father walked over angrily, still waving a horsewhip in his hand, "If you don't learn the lingua franca well, and the wizard tower will recruit apprentices again next year, I won't sign you up!" ”

"Then I won't report it!" Hayden laughed and lay down with his head on his hands.

The grass softly supported his body.
