"Soul slip away? What do you mean? ”

Even Tatsuma, who had worked with Orochimaru for many years, couldn't keep up with Orochimaru's train of thought for a while, Orochimaru turned around, looked at Tatsuma, and asked, "The corpse of the first lord is very strange, right?" ”

"Well, it's been years since he died, but when we got his cells, his cells weren't inactivated."

Tatsuma nodded, this question. It's been a few years, and as early as during Mu Dun's experiment, he proposed it to Orochimaru.

Seeing that Tatsuma hadn't forgotten, Orochimaru, who didn't need a summary of his previous situation, nodded and said, "This question has plagued us throughout the experiment, and at that time, we all felt that the first generation of Lord Mu, who was not inactive in his body, should not die.

I even once suspected that the first generation of Lord Mu became a vegetative person, and you teased at the time, if you can escape, isn't it a vegetative person? ”

Tatsuma was a little embarrassed to hear Orochimaru retell his hellish jokes in a serious manner, but he didn't defend himself, after all, it was more important to listen to Orochimaru tell it now.

But Orochimaru changed the topic and said: "There is also the original intention of the development of the Soul Confinement Technique, we guessed that it was for the Writing Wheel Eye, in fact, it also has this effect, but this is just our conjecture.

Why did the second generation develop this technique, in fact, we have no solid evidence to support it, and the conjecture is actually a bit reluctant, there is no example to support it, and the "motivation" is only because of the second generation of the adult's prejudice against the Uchiha. ”

Tatsuma continued to nod, these were all "synopsis", and Orochimaru didn't slow down his pace, saying, "But what if you connect these two things?"

The reason why the second generation of Lord Mu developed the Soul Confinement Technique was actually because of the abnormal death of Lord First of Eyes. ”

Hearing this, Tatsuma frowned deeply, wanting to connect the two things, plus the words that Orochimaru wrote on the whiteboard.

"The first generation of Lord Mu is not dead, at least not death in the conventional sense, he is a separation of spirit and flesh, not so much death, but rather like using the spirit of the body, did not return to his own body?"

Tatsuma tried to keep up with Orochimaru's rhythm, but Orochimaru nodded and said, "That's what I thought, because it's been too easy to teach them these days, so I have a lot of time to look through the past experiment logs."

I found that a large number of mice involved in the Mu Dun experiment lost their active response first, but the cell activity was still there, and some neural pathways were still available, and they died after a period of time.

Remember our speculation? ”

"The activity of intercolumnar cells and Shenshu cells is different from that of normal biological cells, and the cell lysis period is longer than that of normal biological cells."

"Well, but I want to disprove that speculation now because. I thought of another possibility, the inter-column cells and the Divine Tree cells were repelling the soul, and the inter-column cells and the Divine Tree cells were changing life itself in the process of devouring and growing.

For example, the transformation of a mouse into a creature that only has an active body, but no soul, or active consciousness, is a kind of . A more primitive life. ”

Orochimaru's face became solemn, and he said, "Only in this way can we explain why the first generation of the me-sama, whose body has been fully "intercolumnar cells", died so early.

He didn't die, but his soul was ostracized by the body, and there was no way back, so the soul could only go to the place where the soul should go—the Pure Land. ”

"So. This is the soul slipping. ”

Tatsuma rubbed his chin, and Orochimaru looked at Tatsuma and said, "Has your soul ever appeared. An anomaly? If my conjecture is true, then your soul will slip away.

The greater the number of Divine Tree cells, the higher the proportion, and the higher the maturity, the greater the strength of the soul to escape, and perhaps at a certain point, the soul of Ling will be completely excluded.

That's it. The true rejection reaction of the Divine Tree cell. ”

"Nope."

Hearing Tatsuma's answer, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he was a little. lost, because it illustrates his conjecture

"But that doesn't disprove your suspicions."

Tatsuma's words made Orochimaru wonder again, staring at Tatsuma, waiting for his next words.

Tatsuma pursed his lips, frowned deeply, tapped his temple with his right hand, and said, "Coincidentally, I used the Soul Confinement Technique on myself long before the Divine Tree's cells were fully spread and exploded. ”

"How could you?"

Orochimaru's eyes were full of doubts, he knew the direction of Tatsuma's use of the Soul Confinement Technique, because he was not sure of the development of this technique, and he didn't know how Thousand Hands originally planned to use it.

However, Tatsuma uses this technique as a way to prolong the rescue time, and uses it on the dying person, so that the soul cannot be separated from the body, so that after the body recovers, there will be no major changes due to the lack of the soul.

And Tatsuma himself shouldn't have used this technique, because before today, he didn't need to wait for someone else's treatment, as long as there was still a breath, no. Even if he "dies", with his vitality, he can heal himself in a short time.

In the face of the battle of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, Tatsuma also proved that his self-healing ability is strong, even if his heart is shocked by Thunder and stops beating, and is seriously damaged, he will repair itself in a very short time and start pacing again.

Tatsuma pursed his lips again, revealing a hint of embarrassment and shame, and said, "To tell you the truth, this is an experiment I conducted after I was disappointed in my illusion at the time, trying in vain to use the soul confinement technique to fight the illusion. ”

"Does it work?"

Orochimaru suddenly remembered Tatsuma's illusion resistance, which suddenly became powerful, and his eyes showed curiosity, but Tatsuma shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, no.

Although the brain and soul affect each other, imprisoning the soul does not mean that it can protect the brain, and the illusion chakra attacks the brain, not the soul itself, so."

Tatsuma shrugged his shoulders, and Orochimaru nodded, this is it. Normal, if the soul confinement technique is really so powerful, it will be incredible.

However, Orochimaru asked curiously, "Have you never lifted the soul confinement technique?" After all, this will continue to consume chakra. ”

"I don't lack this chakra." Tatsuma said: "At first, I was too lazy to lift it, but later, I also discovered some effects of the Soul Confinement Technique, which can indeed defend against some attacks against the soul. ”

For example, the scorpion's method that Chenma has never seen before, directly hitting the soul, if it weren't for the soul confinement technique, Chenma at that time might have to spend a lot of effort to solve the scorpion's attack.

After this topic was raised, Orochimaru said in a fanatical and joyful tone: "Since this is the case, then you don't want to release your soul confinement technique, even if it's just a conjecture, there is no need to take risks." ”

"I thought you'd let me dismiss it so I could test my guess."

Tatsuma said with a smile, but Orochimaru became quite serious and said, "Regarding the experiment related to Mu Dun, it was originally to reproduce Mu Dun, and now it is another purpose, that is, to ensure that you are not harmed by Mu Dun.

If it is on the condition that you are injured by Mu Dun, then I don't want to do such an experiment, and I won't do it. ”

If Tatsuma hadn't cast the Soul Confinement Technique on himself in advance, and the soul had slipped away, then Orochimaru would have Tatsuma use the Soul Confinement Technique to verify his conjecture.

But. No need now, no matter whether the conjecture is correct or not, as long as Tatsuma maintains his soul confinement technique, he can avoid risks, and it doesn't matter whether this experiment is correct or not.

"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama, you care about me more than I do."

Tatsuma put away his smile and said sincerely, Orochimaru waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is like this. ”

The ridiculous tone let Tatsuma know that Orochimaru was a pun, on the one hand, saying that other people also care about Tatsuma as much as Orochimaru, and on the other hand, it is teasing that people always care about individual people more than they care about themselves.

Chenma, who understood the pun, smiled knowingly.

However, the smiles of the two did not last long, and soon they got into a realistic question, Orochimaru turned around, looked at the whiteboard, and said, "Do you have any clue?" ”

Soul confinement is always an indicator, and it can't cure the root cause, and Tatsuma does not lack chakras for sustaining soul confinement, but. As long as it's a technique, it can be cracked.

Although at present, among the people alive, I am afraid that only Orochimaru and Tatsuma know, but. What if?

Only by finding a way to solve the soul escape, Tatsuma can be considered truly safe, and if there are other wooden ninjas in the village in the future, this hidden danger can be solved in advance.

If it was seven years ago, Orochimaru would have advised Tatsuma to give up Mu Dun, and if it was five years ago, Orochimaru would have advised Tatsuma to give up suppressing the cells of the Divine Tree.

But. Not now, even if the growth of the Divine Tree cells is restricted, more than half of the cells in the body have been replaced by the Divine Tree cells, even if no new Divine Tree cells are added, once more than half of the Divine Tree cells mature, their rejection reaction is also irrepressible.

Tatsuma also had a sad face, he had no clue about solving the problem of soul escape, but thought of something else, such as the ten-tailed, ten-tailed human pillar force and the like.

Those are even more distant than the current problem of soul escape, but at the same time, they are also relevant and more threatening.

Tatsuma actually knew the direction of change in his body, and as the Nine-Tails said, he gradually became. The body that bears the power of the tailed beast, and perhaps the remains between the Thousand Hand Pillars, is also a humanoid Outer Dao Golem.

Unlike the Thousand Hands Pillar, Tatsuma has a chakra of a tailed beast in his body, and maybe one day, he will really turn into a humanoid Ten Tails, and what does Ten Tails look like?

It is a more primitive life form that "has no subjective consciousness", and its destiny is not only to absorb the energy of the entire planet, but to become. Dry battery of ten-tailed human pillar force?

Why can the ten-tailed human pillar force control the ten-tails? Maybe that's the solution to the soul slippage?

With the jump of thoughts, Tatsuma seemed to faintly grasp something, and when Orochimaru turned back with some confusion because of Tatsuma's quietness, Tatsuma suddenly said: "Yin and Yang escape." ”
