Chapter 254: "Summer Night"
(Continued on January 7, 339)
This intuition is unreasonable, but as a person who is accustomed to thinking about everything logically, I have found its source after thinking about it carefully.
I think it's the reason for that "head".
As beautiful and harmless as it looked, it couldn't be seen or destroyed - no matter what method we used, and it gave me an indescribable sense of fear, which is why I was reluctant to continue the experiment since the accident at Isom, for fear of causing an even bigger accident that would lead to an abyss from which I and everything around me could never recover.
But yesterday I still agreed to the Great Witch to continue the experiment, because the temptation of the "gods" to me is as strong as the fear they bring to me. I can imagine the existence of a source of power, and I can imagine some kind of existence with a personality, but I can't imagine the superposition of the two......
However, if we use a purely logical method, we may be able to deduce based on some approximate status quo, as we commonly use the inductive method.
For example, for the poor people in the lower city, the great witches of "Aether Exploration" have the power of almost gods, and there is no doubt that these great witches also have their own personalities and selfish desires; As a result, Debussota is what it is today – the bankrupt paupers are no longer "people", but consumables that can be used at will by the Great Witches. Every day, a large number of pets are sent to Uptown, but few return, because they are all "consumed", and the big witch can control the life and death of these people at will...... And even everything.
So, continue to deduce along this trajectory and push it to a more extreme position - if there really is a god and it has come to our world, then, for us, whether it is the poor people in the lower city or those high witches, will everyone fall into a situation where they are not even "pets"?
Thinking of this, my body couldn't help but tremble a little, half because of fear, but half of it - I was actually a little excited and excited. Since the Great Witch from Uptown insists on doing this, let's do what she wants! Let them also taste the freedom to be at the mercy of irresistible forces, as we have been forced to endure......

It's been a busy month for everyone, but everyone is in a pretty good mood, including me.
We repeated the experiment again and again according to the parameters of that accident, and in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, "Aether Exploration" also specially sent two level 5 great witches to the site. But it turns out that their role is nothing but consuming the black tea in our lab, because the moth beast never appeared again, and that time with Isome, it really seemed to be just an accident.
But we did succeed in summoning one "head" after another.
In just one month, we conducted a total of 142 experiments, an average of 4-5 times a day, and summoned a total of 79 "heads", with a 55% probability of summoning "heads" per trial. The heads vary in appearance, but all are beautiful and flawless, and at the same time so strong that we can't do anything about them.
The Great Witch has promised that for every successful summoning of a "head", each person's year-end bonus will be 100 more magicals. Up to now, everyone's year-end bonus has increased by 7,900 moles, which is like the highest-level "alaphenofene" contract, so that everyone is in an extremely excited state of work.
I was excited, too, but not because of the prize money - as more and more heads were summoned, I became more and more convinced that my conjecture was correct, and I was overwhelmed with excitement at the thought that the Great Witches of Aether Exploration were running towards the end of destruction.
Somme, perhaps your death is indeed meaningful......

March 1, 339
The experiment, which lasted for a month and three weeks, has finally come to an end, and we have summoned a total of 144 "heads", which means that everyone will receive 14,400 more moles this year than in previous years.
We were going to summon more "heads" out, but we were abruptly stopped by the Great Witch, of course, not because the other party couldn't afford to pay more bonuses, but because ...... I guess it's because the numbers have already reached her requirements.
Obviously, we are only part of the Great Witch's plan, and we don't have a chance to get a glimpse of the whole plan. We were only allowed to keep 3 of the "heads" summoned by the experiment for research, and the rest were all escorted away by the Black Masked Man sent by the "Aether Exploration".
And tomorrow, the last 3 heads will also be sent away, our research will be terminated, the lab will be mothballed, and no one will be allowed to enter.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed. This is the end of this matter, and people of my level are not able or qualified to know any follow-up information, and perhaps I will not know the end until one day, when the "gods" really come down and destroy Debussota......
But I guessed wrong. The Great Witch was always unexpected, and I could never guess what she was thinking.
Today, she came to my house out of the blue...... Not at home, but at the time of my breakfast, I suddenly appeared on the chair across the table, and said in a chatty tone:
"You know, the dome wheat production is so high today, and it's thanks to me?"
I was so startled that even the slice of bread in my hand was thrown out, and the big witch reached out and gently grabbed the bread, put it to her mouth and took a bite - it was obviously what I had eaten!
"The smell of dome wheat...... It's been a long time since I've tasted it. She muttered to herself before she looked up at me: "You know, the team that researched Dome Wheat seeds at that time was able to survive because of my insistence on investing, and now they are a big company.
"And within this month, Ling's team will also officially become a company, I have already thought of a name for you, it will be called 'Mohs Biotechnology', with you as the chairman of the company, corresponding to the MD-level authority and salary level of the headquarters of "Ether Exploration...... I'm sorry, I promised you a real power position in the headquarters, but you know, 'Aether exploration' is not my sole decision, and with the well-known efficiency of the human resources department, it will take a while before this promise can be fulfilled. ”
I hurriedly shook my head: "No, no...... This, this has far exceeded my expectations, thank you, thank you very much. ”
I don't know if the other party saw my contrivance, but she just smiled a little, and then asked, "Do you know why I want to give you MD-level permission in advance?" ”
I shook my head.
"Because the next work requires at least an MD level person to be eligible to participate."
"Is it ......?!" I was so surprised that I almost jumped.
"Don't be so surprised." The Great Witch said in a calm tone, "You are very good, talented, conscientious, disciplined but not rigid, a little ambitious, but not too much. The most important thing is that you are the person in charge of the project, and only you know all the details. You guessed it, next, we're going to use those 'heads' for an unprecedented attempt, and you're going to be a part of it. ”
“…… When? ”
"Today. You'll have about twelve hours left to attend to your personal affairs, and of course, don't do anything you shouldn't do in the meantime, someone will be watching you. At 9 o'clock tonight, Black Mask will be waiting for you at the door of your house, come with them, and they will take you to your new workplace, where you will stay for the rest of the year, not going out. If there is any question, you can ask me now. ”
And a question popped into my head that had nothing to do with the things in front of me.
"Honorable Archwitch......," I said cautiously, "you have never told you your name. ”
The other party was a little surprised, but not much, and the surprised expression was only fleeting.
"You can call me 'Summer Night'." She replied with a smile.
