Book.

The third memory is the book.

Qi Lin saw a yellowed old notebook in this memory.

The owner of the memory, the tenth Pope Francis, seems to be sitting alone in a dimly lit chamber reading a book, very quiet, and the only sound in the silent chamber is the occasional sound of turning a book, and the crackling of a brazier burning.

And Qi Lin also followed its perspective and took in the content of the book:

——

My name is Terence Harrison, and I'm the ninth Pope of Light!

This notebook is written by me myself, and the secrets contained in it are reserved for only the Pope.

If you are not, then I do not care how you got it, I advise you to close it at once, and return the note to the Holy See, otherwise it will be of little harm to you.

If you are, then, read on.

First of all, I would like to ask a question - do you think there is a soul in this world?

You might say - didn't three generations of popes prove that the soul does not exist?

But my answer is – there is!

There are souls in the world!

It's just that we can't see it when we are alive.

The relationship between the soul and the body is very close, and in most cases, once the body dies, the soul will also float out, and then quickly dissipate to usher in real death.

No matter how powerful this soul was in life, as long as it is out of the physical body, it will face this fate.

There are exceptions, though.

In some special cases, the soul will be transformed into another form of life.

Namely: ghosts.

You can also call it, ghosts.

Once a soul is transformed into a ghost or ghost, it gains the ability to live independently.

In addition to this, I can tell you that the theory of three generations of popes is wrong!

His book "Mental Power and Brain Tissue" is called an epic work, but in fact it is wrong throughout, and it is a complete fallacy!

Our mental power is not some kind of energy generated by brain tissue.

Spiritual power comes from the soul!

The brain is only a bridge between our soul and body, a connecting channel!

Every time we use our spiritual power, it is an exercise of our soul.

And if you want to release your spiritual power through the soul, you can either let the soul stay in the body well, or let the soul completely become a "ghost" like a ghost and turn into another form of life.

The shape of the soul is not set in stone.

It changes with the physical body, the human soul is in human form, and the cat soul is in cat form.

When you die at a young age, your soul is young.

Old age dies, and the soul is old.

I've been studying souls all my life, and although I've never been able to find a magic that allows living beings to observe ghosts and ghosts, I've stumbled upon another soul magic that shocks the world.

I named it: Soul Snatching!

This magic can allow your soul to preempt someone else's body!

If your own body is seriously injured and cannot be healed, then you can perform this snatching technique, seize someone else's body, and live another life!

There are 6 points to note here:

1. The object of the seizure must be alive, the corpse is not good, even the corpse that has just been dead for a minute will not work, the magic will fail.

- The reason is unknown for the time being, but a large number of experimental cases have proved it.

2. The soul of the object of sacrifice must be weaker than you, otherwise you will not be able to kill the other party, but will be killed by the soul of the other party.

- There's no need to analyze this, right?

3. The Soul Snatching Technique can only be released once, not a second time.

- The reason for this is unknown, but I don't think it's a problem with the soul itself, but a problem with the fact that my magic is not perfect enough.

4. Soul wear.

- After the soul is successfully recaptured, there is a high probability that it will be worn out irreparably if it is weakened, and there is a very small probability of symptoms such as amnesia and stupidity.

5. The soul and the non-original body will have a rejection reaction.

- In about 10-15 years, the soul will gradually collapse and dissipate under the influence of the non-original body, and the reason is not clear for the time being.

6. Regarding the healing medicine in point 5.

- After research, I found that as long as I take a gold-level Holy Knight's heart, I can perfectly solve the rejection reaction of non-original physical bodies.

At this point, you should be able to understand it as well.

Soul snatching is useful, but it's still too crude, and there are many things that I don't even understand, and there are many, many things that need to be improved.

But I don't have that much time and energy anymore.

I'm dying.

Over the years, in order to study the soul, I have repeatedly experimented with myself, and the soul has long been riddled with holes, on the verge of collapse, and there is no point in performing the snatching technique.

I was able to accept my death.

I have written about the process of verifying my soul and the specific method of performing the soul snatching technique at the very end of this notebook.

As for now, I want to talk about me and you.

If nothing else, then the first person to see this notebook should be the tenth Pope, that is, you, Francis!

My research on the soul has never been published, and I have no intention of publishing it myself.

Because the three generations of popes are too great, his theories are almost regarded as the truth by the people, but I, the nine generations of popes with a very bad reputation, want to completely overturn the theories of the three generations of popes, I ...... I don't have that self-confidence, I don't dare, and the people will never accept it.

But you, Francis, maybe you can.

Everyone says that you are the reincarnation of the God of Light, and whether you are or not, you can have enough prestige.

So, if there's anyone who can help me publish this soul study after my death, it's you.

Francis, I'm looking forward to it.

——

This is the end of the narrative in this notebook, followed by pure research papers and magical knowledge.

Qi Lin is in this memory fragment, following the perspective of the ten generations of Pope Francis, and reading the whole book thoroughly.

Eventually, Francis closed the book and smiled.

Sneer.

"Old thing, you deprived me of my childhood, mutilated my parents, and now you want me to help you publish your research, use my fame, and help you overturn the theories of three generations of popes?"

"I think you're crazy!"

With that, Francis walked over to the brazier and threw the book directly into the brazier, burning it to ashes.

——

Basilica.

The fourth memory is located in a silvery white square.

It was the square outside the Temple of Light!

At this point, the square was shattered, with cracked floors, bright red bloodstains, and purple-black fires...... And, the dismembered corpse of the demon!

The manipulation of the corpses of hellish demons, such as barbarians, demon soldiers, and winged demons, are scattered all over this square.

In the streets and alleys not far away, gunsmoke was everywhere, and explosions and shouts of killing were heard one after another.

"Celia ......"

In the middle of the square,

A one-armed, blood-stained black-haired man knelt on the ground, holding a cold succubus corpse with his only remaining right hand, his head bowed and his expression sad.

"Ahem, ahem!"

On the other side, there was a sudden coughing sound.

It was Pope Francis of Light coughing.

At this time, the legendary cat-headed pope was standing alone outside the door of the Temple of Light, the body of a cat-headed man more than three meters high, wearing a platinum papal robe, the hem of the robe was stained with a few drops of blood, but it was obvious that it was not its own blood.

"Ahem!"

After covering his mouth and coughing twice, the Pope looked at the black-haired man and asked lightly, "This female demon is pregnant, right?" ”

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the black-haired man raised his eyes suddenly, stared at the Pope with his pair of purple vertical pupils, and roared angrily: "Yes! And you killed her!! Kill me and her children!! ”

"The evil heir of the devil should not have been born in this bright world."

The Pope said, shaking his head slightly, "And other than that, as a husband, you shouldn't have taken your pregnant wife to the battlefield, Li Haoran, you are stupid, you shouldn't have started this war, this war has no meaning, it will only bring death and tears." ”

"I just want to take her and the baby home for treatment......"

The black-haired man Li Haoran slowly laid the body of the succubus on the ground, closed his eyes, cloudy tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and his voice had a suppressed cry: "I just want to take them home, that's all, that's all...... Francis, why don't you agree? Our way home is right inside the temple, and I'm just trying to borrow a word, such a simple request, why do you ...... Why ......"

"Ridiculous."

The Pope's old cat was expressionless, and said indifferently: "The matter has come to this point, what is the point of you still making up these ridiculous and outrageous lies?" You people want to break into the temple just to move out the prophecy tablet and prove the theory of the Wizarding Guild right, but you are wrong, very wrong!

You wizards always feel that you are right, and we, the Holy See of Light, are wrong.

You always feel that you sorcerers hold the truth, as if you represent truth and justice, while we, the Holy See of Light, represent lies and hypocrisy, but ah Li Haoran, have you ever thought that if you ...... It is you who are wrong, and you who have been deceived from beginning to end? ”

"I don't fucking care about these !!"

Li Haoran roared and stood up, purple demonic flames erupted all over his body, and as soon as his remaining right hand was raised, countless golden holy lights gathered from all directions, condensing into a holy light giant sword in his hand!

Demon Flame, Holy Sword.

The forces of darkness and light, in the body of this black-haired man, seem to achieve a delicate balance.

"Why bother?"

Seeing this scene, the Pope's expression was still indifferent, "Li Haoran, in this war, you lost, you and the Wizards Association both lost, why bother to resist stubbornly?" ”

"Battles can only end in death."

Li Haoran's voice was hoarse, holding the holy sword in his hand, and he slowly walked towards the Pope, leaving a demonic footprint on the floor with every step, "I'm not dead yet, the battle is not over yet...... Francis, I'm going to let you bury Celia and my children! ”

"Huh."

The Pope smiled contemptuously and shook his head, "If you say that, then you should die, human." ”

As soon as the words fell, thunder erupted!

A fierce battle ensued.

Ultimately.

Francis's thunderous cat's claws pierced Li Haoran's chest and dug out the other party's heart intact.

"Good."

It looked at the bloody heart in its hand and smiled meaningfully, "Although I can't use it now, but you, the heart of the Holy Knight, I will take good care of it, rest assured, this heart will not be wasted, I will treasure it, maybe one day it will be used ......"

"Bang!"

Before the Pope finished speaking, Li Haoran flipped his right hand, took out a quaint two-moon jade pendant out of thin air, and crushed it with his last strength!

Followed by

Soul swapped!

In Li Haoran's body, a light blue translucent humanoid soul body rushed out and quickly burrowed into Francis's body.

Francis, on the other hand, let out a terrible wail, trembling violently and uncontrollably.

"Bang!"

Perhaps because of the loss of control of his body, Francis did not control the force in his hand, and directly pinched and exploded the fresh heart in his right claw, and blood splattered.

A few drops of blood splashed on its hideous cat face.

"Uh......"

More than ten seconds later,

Francis's body gradually calmed down, his eyes lowered, he looked at the remaining heart residue on the cat's paws, and whispered softly: "It's a terrible experience to see your heart being pinched and exploded......

"Buzz!"

As soon as the words fell, the center of Francis's eyebrows flashed blue!

Immediately after, a cat-headed soul flew out of Francis's celestial spirit cover - it was Francis's soul body!

Francis's soul was now forcibly squeezed out of his body and transferred to Li Haoran's body, and quickly established a connection and took deep roots in Li Haoran's body.

however

Li Haoran's physical heart was just dug out and pinched by Francis three seconds ago.

It's a fleshy body that has lost its heart and is about to die!

The vision of this memory gradually blurred.

"Francis, you lost."

A hoarse voice came from the side.

"It's a pity that Celiya and the child are dead, and I, Li Haoran, have not been able to become the winner......"
