Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 323 Genetic Hypothesis

The idea of ​​turning Hayden into a black page only flashed through Saul's mind; he had no immediate plans to carry it out.

Since the diary became a locator, Thor's connection with it has become increasingly close. He can vaguely sense that the diary is giving him certain limits on his abilities.

For example, with his current strength, he can only control one more black page.

Unless one of the first four is destroyed, he will not be able to absorb any more consciousness once he reaches full capacity.

Thor is currently getting along well with the four consciousnesses and has no intention of using any of them as experience points.

Therefore, the choice of the fifth page should be made more carefully.

They are either prisoners of war who can be discarded at will, or they possess a strong knowledge base.

This initial test of the soul-infusion experiment confirmed to Thor that the physical vessel had not lost its ability to repel foreign souls.

Therefore, there must be some kind of ability in the physical body to distinguish spiritual entities, just like the human immune system, which will trigger a strong rejection reaction to allergens.

If we could find this organization, shut it down, or kill it, would that allow the soul and body to unite smoothly?

"But that's not my situation. Thor's body definitely hasn't been touched... So, another possibility is to prevent the 'immune system' from detecting foreign souls?"

Saul knew that most of what he was thinking was based on assumptions. What he needed to prove first was whether this "immune system" actually existed in the human body.

"Every experiment has a main name... Let's call this one the 'Desensitization Experiment'."

So Saul turned to the first page of his notebook and wrote down the words "desensitization".

In the days that followed, Hayden underwent several agonizing experiments with Thor.

On the last day, Saul even dismembered Hayden alive after obtaining his consent.

He used the life-preserving properties of the Heart Guardian Potion to temporarily maintain the life of Hayden's container, and then, without harming its vital parts, dismembered this exceptionally beautiful container into more than ten pieces according to their type.

He then injected fragments of his soul, which he had preserved within his body, into each sample. Over the next hour, he observed and recorded the degree to which each sample rejected the soul fragments.

As for Hayden, he was unconscious the entire time.

However, the first large-scale experiment did not achieve the desired results.

Hayden's every part consistently rejects other spirits.

Although Thor was somewhat prepared for failure before the experiment began—after all, it was a subject that many formal wizards and second-tier wizards had studied for decades—he still felt a sense of frustration when he actually failed and made no discoveries whatsoever.

However, he quickly composed himself and pieced Hayden back together before the sample's activity dropped drastically. Then, using obsidian amber with its extremely strong limb repair capabilities, he restored Hayden's body to its original state, preventing her from becoming a horrifying ceramic doll that had been shattered and forcibly glued back together.

After taking the person to treatment, Saul returned to the lab table to record the entire process.

"Blood, hair, internal organs, bones... we've basically ruled out over a dozen parts." Saul kept twirling the quill in his hand. "Am I missing that specific organ, or is there a flaw in the experiment?"

Saul knew that either of these possibilities were possible, so he tried to summarize the lessons learned from this experiment and attempt to make the next one even better.

"The fact that all samples reacted the same way suggests that I haven't extracted a common factor from these substances. I should consider a more microscopic approach, perhaps focusing on cells or..."

Thor, who was writing, suddenly stopped, his eyes widening slightly. "...Or genes?"

He stood there stunned for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead hard.

"Extracting genes, interpreting genes, editing genes... This question is way beyond the scope of the curriculum!"

Thor immediately shook his head as if shaking off the water that had gotten into his brain. "Resurrection is beyond the scope of the curriculum, and the identification points of soul consciousness may not even exist in the genes."

"Make bold conjectures, verify carefully. One experiment is too few cases to prove anything." Thor slowly turned around and looked at the rows of corpses standing in front of the warehouse.

"I do have some samples left, but the activity is too low, which might affect the accuracy of the experiment." Saul suddenly smiled. "But it's not like we can't give it a try."

The group of corpses standing behind the shelves trembled in fear.

……

A month later, a fairly luxurious single-rider carriage was traveling on the bustling streets of the small town.

This town is the closest bustling town to the Gorsa Wizard Tower.

It is like an outpost for entering the absolute domain of the Wizarding Tower, so every year many people come here to stop and want to communicate with the Wizarding Tower or participate in the Wizarding Tower's apprentice selection.

The town became increasingly prosperous, and many of its residents were even related to the wizards.

Winter is approaching, and the chill in the north wind is as noticeable as the fallen leaves on the ground.

The carriage moved slowly and steadily through the streets, and Saul would occasionally open a crack in the window to peek out.

The original name of this town is unknown, but it is now called Outpost Town because of its special geographical location.

Thor came here to find a place to stay outside the Wizard Tower. This is not surprising; many third-level apprentices, and even some powerful second-level apprentices, have their own places to stay outside the Wizard Tower.

If Thor weren't a lone wolf, given his strength and status, he would have established a base outside the tower long ago.

His consciousness platform array wasn't suitable for the second warehouse, as it would alert the horde of zombies. However, apart from the second warehouse, other places weren't quite suitable either.

Although the dormitory is large, Thor can move between floors by relying on his astral projection. If others are also wandering around at night, he may not be able to detect any information from the outside world while he is in a state of consciousness platform.

So Thor will have to try to dedicate some of his time to staying off the platform, but it will take a long time to practice before he can do that.

"The magic array on the consciousness platform also needs to be compressed. If we really want to turn the consciousness platform into a consciousness battlefield, the enemy won't give me time to draw. Pre-arrangement can easily lead to unexpected problems."

Thor looked down at his gray hands.

"How about fixing the magic circle to a piece of equipment? Hmm, the matter of compressing the magic circle can also be included in the plan."

He stared blankly at his hands, which had been modified to look unlike those of an ordinary person.

At this moment, the driver of the mushroom-shaped rickshaw slowly brought the rickshaw to a stop.

"My lord, we have arrived."

Saul looked out the car window; they had stopped outside a four-story building.

Even in some bustling towns, such brick-and-wood houses would be considered quite tall and magnificent buildings.

The house has a huge sign that hangs from the second floor all the way down to the first floor, which reads "Home of Travellers" in Common.

Thor was going to a place that looked like a real estate agency, and the mushroom driver led him there with practiced ease.

"It's like a mixed-use hotel."

Thor closed the car window and snapped his fingers lightly. His skin instantly changed from a terrifying grayish-white to a slightly fairer complexion—more in line with the common person's impression of a wizard.

As soon as Saul jumped off the carriage, two men immediately came up to him.

One person led the mushroom-shaped driver to the designated parking spot, while the other, with a cautious and respectful smile, bowed and walked to Thor's side.

"Good day, Wizard. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Chapter Two will be released around 10 PM.
