Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 401 Anesthetics and Targeted Drugs

"Is this the optimized adhesive?" Thor took the beaker that Claire handed him, looked down at it, and said, "It's almost transparent and has a pungent smell."

"Yes, this adhesive actually contains many special materials, including the beta mentioned earlier, which is toxic. Therefore, using the adhesive will cause great pain to the spirit. If the spirit resists too violently, causing a tearing effect, it may damage both the spirit and the container."

Claire stared at the beaker in Thor's hand, her brow furrowed. "But most of the toxicity inside cannot be removed, or removing it might affect the viscosity. So our current research direction is to find a way to reduce the pain that the optimized adhesive causes to the spirits without reducing its stickiness."

Claire looked at Thor and took a deep breath. "If we can complete this, we can start the final test."

The final test involved sending Mrs. Yura directly onto the field.

If successful, then the resurrection experiment, which has lasted for decades, will be declared complete.

Although it's not perfect and contains some misleading concepts, it can still relieve most people in the Wizard Tower of their constraints.

Looking at Claire's bright eyes, Thor only said "Good luck" before turning away with a hint of reluctance.

On the surface, the experiment is nearing its end, and even Thor's prepared experiment to "delay container rejection" may not be of any use.

But Thor knew it wasn't that simple.

If the resurrection experiment can be successfully completed, then gray matter should not have become Byron's death warrant.

Saul sensed a subtle unease beneath the seemingly smooth and successful experiment.

The calm on the sea is just an illusion; a storm may be brewing!

As Thor turned around, he was facing another experimental table, and Claire also came up.

She assumed Thor was looking at the experimental projects here and said excitedly, "This is one of my ideas: to separate the spirit body and paralyze the consciousness separately. But I don't know much about spirit bodies."

She patted Thor on the shoulder. "This is all up to you, you genius!"

"No wonder you were so eager to get me involved in the experiment. You'd already planned out my tasks! I feel like I've been tricked," Saul said, pointing at Claire's nose with a "disgruntled" expression.

Claire showed no embarrassment whatsoever. She picked up a pen from the table, placed it in the palm of Thor's hand, and bent Thor's index finger to make him grip the pen.

"Please, please, if you can make it, I'll give you another surprise!"

"I'll take note of that." Thor put his hand down, turned around and sat down at the lab table, twirling his pen while flipping through Claire's previous notes.

In fact, he had already explored this field that Keli was trying to study and had achieved some success.

However, much of his success was based on the Death Wizard's Diary.

Therefore, when Thor saw Claire's idea, he immediately thought of the black pages representing consciousness and the soul energy that he replenished for each consciousness through himself.

As mentioned in the basic understanding of all things, the soul is not actually a single, complete entity. It can be further divided.

From a morphological perspective, a person's soul can be broken into countless tiny fragments.

From an energy perspective, after the soul is stripped of its energy, a consciousness remains. This consciousness can also be further divided. It can even be separated into a thought, a memory, and so on.

However, a complete consciousness cannot exist alone; it must rely on the support of soul energy to maintain its operation.

But that concludes our discussion of basic knowledge about everything. It only provides a simple introduction and does not cover any operational or application aspects.

Thor, who has read books on the spiritual body, has not yet discovered any method for separating the consciousness body.

Only the Death Wizard's Diary has accomplished this.

A soul's consciousness can exist in the form of pages of a book, transforming chaotic and complex thoughts into clear and logical sentences.

The black pages can also integrate multiple fragmented souls, unifying their consciousness into a unified whole.

Because the black pages also need to be replenished with soul energy periodically. Thor had considered that it wasn't a consciousness but a special kind of soul. But a normal, complete soul can't have all its soul energy replaced like a complete blood transfusion.

Therefore, the black pages are also a form of existence for a consciousness that can absorb energy.

In short, the more knowledge Saul acquired, the deeper his awe of the diary became, and the more he felt its terrifying power.

In many places, diaries are so powerful they defy reason!

Like the cheat system in some novels, you can only use it, but you have no idea who wrote its code or what rules it follows to operate.

Saul stopped spinning his pen and looked up at Claire.

"You figure out the ingredients for the anesthetic; I'll try to find a targeted drug for the conscious mind."

"Anesthetic...targeted drug..." Keli repeated the unfamiliar words twice, and quickly understood their meaning.

"No problem!" she gestured to Thorby.

Thor withdrew his gaze, then caught sight of Billy in the distance, who was alone with his head down, seemingly doing something. He used a telepathic spell to ask Claire.

"I remember Billy was researching soul toxins. Didn't you consult with him?" Thor remembered that Billy had interacted with Roger and Jero.

The last time he was threatened by Haywood, both of them stepped in to help him out.

Thor wanted to find out if Billy had played any role in this resurrection experiment.

Claire rested her elbow on the table and replied to Thor using teleportation, "He's not involved. He's about to be promoted. Ever since he surpassed his mentor in the research progress of soul toxins last time, he hasn't participated much in the experiments organized by his mentor. He's been focused on preparing for his promotion."

Billy is about to be promoted? Thor thought that besides him, Haywood was the most promising third-level apprentice to be promoted.

But now it seems that, just like with first and second-level apprentices, the most skilled third-level apprentices are not necessarily the first to be promoted.

Thinking of Kongsa, Saul silently added another sentence in his mind.

Even the most capable person may not be promoted.

He put down his pen and paper and walked toward Billy, amidst Claire's slightly puzzled gaze.

"I haven't seen you since we left Mosail Town. I heard you haven't come back. Were you injured when you left last time?" Thor asked with a friendly smile.

Billy didn't stand up. He looked up at Saul, the large expanse of white in his eyes looking somewhat eerie.

He was even more gloomy than when we last met.

"I risked my life to escape, and it took me more than half a year to recover." He then asked Saul, "What about you? I didn't see you come out of the city gate."

Saul said sincerely, "The town has two doors."

Billy always felt that Thor hadn't escaped by suffering mental and physical damage and being slightly contaminated like he had.

But he had no evidence.

Did you run into Mrs. Yura when you came out?

"...Well, actually, I was able to get out thanks to Mrs. Yura's help."

"How did she get there?" Thor didn't bring the red-eyed puppet with him when he went to Mossport, and he acted discreetly.

Logically speaking, Mrs. Yura should not know where he went.

"I don't know why she happened to be there either."

"Is she alone?"

Billy was silent for a moment. "If Mrs. Yura didn't tell you about this, then I can't say it either."

Saul raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Now you're thinking about keeping Lady Yura's whereabouts a secret?"

On the surface, Thor nodded. "I understand, a secret mission, right?"

It was expected that we wouldn't get an answer.

Thor glanced at the materials in front of Billy. "Then I won't bother you any longer. I wish you a speedy promotion."

Just as Saul turned to leave, he heard Billy say behind him, "Saul, don't get involved in too many things. It's unnecessary and dangerous."

He also used telepathy to say those words.

Four hundred!
