Chapter 37: Professor Opal's Harvest

Seeing that the wind chimes were still a little incomprehensible, Russell explained:

"Wind chimes, you should remember, one of the characteristics of this occult disease is that it does not infect ordinary people.

"Since the ultimate effect of this occult disease is to turn the transcendent into an ordinary person, then once the patient becomes an ordinary person, won't the disease disappear by itself?"

Wind Chime thinks Russell's logic is clear, as if he has found a bug, which makes so much sense.

"Wait, that's not right!" Wind Chime immediately found a new logical fallacy, "But the effect of this disease is to turn the transcendent into ordinary people, and once the disease disappears, then the 'effect of turning the transcendent into ordinary people' will also disappear?" ”

Russell smiled:

"So this shift is a one-off. In tabletop games, it is considered to be an immediate, non-dispelling effect. ”

"You mean, those patients will always be just ordinary people in the future?" The Sanddemon understood what Russell meant.

"Who knows, at least that's what my diagnosis turned out to be for the time being. Maybe there's a way to recover. Russell's expression returned to indifference.

Now Professor Opal is interrogating Dr. Birdbeak with hypnosis and mind reading. After getting more detailed information about this occult disease, it may be possible to discover a new direction of treatment, and at that time, the university hospital may have the ability to restore students who have lost their extraordinary abilities in batches.

Russell tried to think in a good direction.

Walking on the tree-lined path, Russell pondered possible directions for treatment as he walked.

He walked for a while, and then suddenly stopped:

"I've got a little new idea."

"Do you have a way to cure them?" Wind Chime asked.

"Have you thought of a new direction of treatment?" The Sleep Demon asked.

Russell, in a gesture that was almost talking to himself, muttered as he thought:

"Ordinary people, compared to the transcendent, are unable to distort reality through their will, incantations, and gestures, and cannot perceive the world with spirituality and intuition instead of natural senses.

"Just as the blind cannot see the light, the lame cannot stand up, the dumb cannot speak, the deaf cannot hear the world.

"Can it be considered a natural disability without extraordinary abilities?

"If the mediocrity itself is regarded as a disease, the 'ordinary man' is regarded as a disease, and the transcendent is seen as a state of health. Then it may not be impossible to treat. ”

Hearing Russell's words, the wind chimes and the sleeping demon were stunned at the same time.

The two spirits stared blankly at each other.

Is this what a normal human can think of?

What is Russell's brain circuit?

Russell completely ignored the astonishment of the two phantoms beside him, and continued to himself:

"Are there any other states in the world that can be considered diseases?

"Not omniscient and omnipotent, unable to do what you want? After being cured, he automatically becomes an omniscient and omnipotent being?

"Well, I feel like I'm thinking too far, so let's keep my eyes down. Non-health conditions that are considered to be diseases......"

The title of the book he had just finished reading suddenly popped into Russell's mind-

"Luo Qianqiu and the Elixir".

"Aging and death?"

He looked down and muttered.

The sound was so low that it was drowned out by the murmur of the evening breeze.

……

Back in the dorm, Russell and Subway chatted for a while about tonight.

Both of them participated in the design of the layout of the Wanwu Club tonight, but the one who wanted the White Wolf Club and the Wanwu Club to fight the most was Subway.

Subway has never had a good impression of these forces formed by the gangs in the academy, and wishes that they would fight each other and all of them will die.

As for the arrival of the Arctic wolf, and the complete onset of occult diseases that followed, it was completely accidental.

Until now, Subway has not realized the severity of the problems posed by occult diseases. He was lying on the bed, swiping his mobile phone, while recalling the scenes just now, and said with a smile:

"That brown-haired cadre codenamed Light Wave is a shame. He originally wanted to beat you up, and when he really got sick, he asked you for treatment, which was really funny. ”

At this point, Subway remembered the comical image and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, Russell's mood was very low, his face was as solemn as water, and he didn't say a word while listening to Subway's words, just clicking the mouse and flipping through the college's official website forum.

At the same time, in the Crystal Dawn Forum, the official website forum of the college, there are constantly new hot posts pouring in, all of which are related to the fact that "a large number of patients suddenly became ill overnight".

In the entire elementary school, there were at least dozens of students who lost their extraordinary power overnight!

Someone suddenly falls while walking in a dormitory and then finds himself a normal person; When someone uses fire magic to heat up a supper, the flame suddenly goes out; There are even students who suddenly fell ill and lost their extraordinary strength when they were floating in the air with a levitation spell, and fell from a height and became seriously injured.

The university hospital is already overcrowded, and the school doctors are urgently diagnosing the students who have lost their strength, and no effective treatment plan has yet been proposed.

Such a major event has caused a sensation on the entire college's official website.

With new posts describing what happened to them or their roommates, and requests for help, news has spread out of the academy and throughout the otherworld.

Many witchcraft families and secret societies are aware of the events that happened overnight in the International Unity and the Academy of Spells and the Supernatural. If the situation cannot be reversed, the relevant departments and official organizations of the Transcendent World, the "World Occult Council", may send commissioners to intervene in the matter at any time.

Even so, most students see this as a new stage in the development of the disease, and it only takes a while for treatment and recuperation to recover.

Russell was browsing the posts on the forums on the official website when his mobile phone rang in his pocket.

He quickly turned on his phone, only to find out that the message was from Professor Opal.

"Russell, I got a lot of useful information from Dr. Birdbeak through hypnosis, mind reading, and constructing dreams of different scenarios.

"This contains some knowledge about this occult disease, such as the spell mechanism and witchcraft principles that constructed this plague, and it will definitely help you in your follow-up treatment!

"You can't explain everything clearly just by relying on the way of dreams. Hurry up and come downstairs of the astrology tonight, the situation is urgent! ”

Going now? It's almost midnight now!

It's no wonder, after all, it's normal for Professor Opal to be anxious about such a big matter.

When important information was asked, didn't Professor Opal inform Mr. Chancellor first? Well, I should have notified the unreliable principal first, and then contacted me......

Why is the meeting place at the astrological platform near the back entrance of the college? Instead of the usual office in a school building? Some of the information concerns the faculty and staff of the astrological observatory?

For a moment, Russell's mind fluctuated, and he thought that Professor Opal's instructions were fine.

However, to be on the safe side, he forwarded the message to Duncan and informed Mr. Headmaster of the matter.

Russell didn't hesitate, and after informing Subway of his whereabouts, he left the dormitory with his last dimensional fanny pack.

If you can know the techniques and witchcraft principles that construct this occult disease, combined with Russell's already knowledge of herbology and occultism, you can reverse simulate this process and refine potions through the innate characteristics of Russell's mutants.

Even if the odds are small, it is indeed possible to restore those students who have lost their extraordinary powers!
