Chapter 401 – Anesthetics and Targeted Drugs

Chapter 401 – Anesthetic and Targeting Medicine

“Is this the optimized adhesive?” Saul took the beaker Korie handed him and looked down, “The color is near clear, and there’s some pungent odor.”

“Yes, this adhesive is actually mixed with many special materials, including the betas just now that are toxic, so it will cause a lot of pain to the spirit body when using the adhesive. If the spirit body resists too violently, causing a tearing effect, it is possible for both the spirit body and the container to be damaged.”

Korrie stared at the beaker in Sol’s hand, her brows furrowed, “But most of the toxicity in it can’t be removed, or removing it might affect the viscosity. So the direction of our current research that is to find a way to reduce the pain that optimizing the adhesive brings to the spirit body while not diminishing its viscosity.”

Kori looked at Sol and took a deep breath, “If we can accomplish that one, we can open the final test.”

The final test would be to just put Lady Yura on the field.

If it was successful, then the resurrection experiment that had taken decades was going to be declared complete.

While it was less than perfect and somewhat of a stolen concept, it would undo the bindings on most of the people in the Wizard’s Tower.

Looking at the bright-eyed Keri, Saul only said “Go for it” and turned his head away with some reluctance.

On the surface, it seems that the experiment is nearing its end, and even the experiment that Saul had prepared to “slow down the rejection of the container” may not be useful.

But Saul knew it wasn’t that simple.

If the resurrection experiment could really be successfully completed, then the gray matter should not have become a death wish for Senior Byron.

Saul sensed a vague uneasiness from this apparently smooth and uneventful experiment.

The calmness of the sea was just an appearance, the storm might be coming!

Because when Saul turned around, he happened to be facing another experiment table, and Korie walked up.

Thinking that Saul was looking at the experimental project here, she said with a leap of faith, “This is a little idea I had, to split the spirit body and paralyze the conscious body separately. I don’t know much about spirit bodies though.”

She patted Sol on the shoulder, “It’s up to you, genius boy!”

“No wonder you’re actively pulling me into the experiment, so you’ve already arranged the job description for me! I think I’m being counted.” Saul nodded at Kagome’s nose with a look of resentment.

Without the slightest bit of embarrassment, Korie picked up a pen from the table and shoved it into Saul’s hand that was pointing at her, bending Saul’s index finger so that he could hold the pen tightly.

“Please, please, if you make it, I’ll send you another surprise!”

“Then I’ll make a note of it.” Saul withdrew his hand and turned to take a seat at the lab bench, spinning the pen as he looked over Kori’s earlier notes.

In fact, this field that Korrie was attempting to study was one that he had dabbled in long ago with some success.

However, a large part of his effectiveness was based on the Death Witch’s diary.

Therefore when Saul saw Koli’s conception, he instantly thought of the black pages that represented the conscious bodies and the soul energy that was replenished to each conscious body through himself.

It was also mentioned in the Basic Cognition of All Things that the soul was not actually a single complete whole. It could be further divided.

From the form level, a person’s soul could be broken into countless tiny soul fragments.

From the energy level, after the soul is stripped of energy, there is still a body of consciousness. And the body of consciousness can also be further divided. It can even be stripped of a thought, a memory, and so on.

But the complete body of consciousness cannot exist alone; it must rely on the support of soul energy to maintain its consciousness.

But that’s all there is to Basic Universal Cognition. It has only a brief introduction and does not involve any knowledge of operational applications.

And Saul, who had read books on spiritual bodies, had not found any method of stripping the body of consciousness alone at the moment.

Only the Death Witch Diary did.

A soul’s body of consciousness could exist in the form of a book page and turn the chaotic and complicated thoughts into a single well-organized statement.

The black pages can also integrate multiple crippled souls and turn the bodies of consciousness within them into unity.

This was because the Black Book Page also required regular replenishment of soul energy. Saul had thought that it was not a body of consciousness but a special existence soul. But there was no way for a normal intact soul to replace all of its soul energy like a full body blood change.

So the black book page was still a way of existing as a body of consciousness that could absorb energy.

In short, the more knowledge Saul learned, the deeper his awe for the diary became, and the more he could feel the dreadfulness of the diary.

The diary was, in many places, so powerful that it didn’t make sense!

It was like the golden finger system in some novels, you could only use it, but had absolutely no idea who coded it or what rules it operated based on. Saul stopped the pen that was spinning incessantly in his hand and looked up at Korie.

“You figure out the ingredients for the anesthetic, and I’ll try to find a targeted drug for the conscious body.”

“Anesthetics …… targeted drugs ……” Kori repeated the word she hadn’t heard twice and quickly understood the meaning.

“No problem!” She gestured at Saul.

Saul withdrew his gaze and midway through glancing at Billy, who was alone in the distance with his head bowed down, not knowing what he was doing, asked Korrie by way of a telekinesis spell.

“I remember that Billy was researching soul toxins, didn’t you approach him for advice?” Sol remembered that Billy had crossed paths with both Rokai and Jello.

The last time he had been threatened by Haywood, both of those men had volunteered to come out on his behalf.

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

Korrie, with one elbow propped up on the table, also answered Saul with her telepathy, “He’s not involved. He’s almost promoted. Ever since the last time he surpassed his mentor in the progress of his soul toxin research, he doesn’t participate much in the experiments organized by his mentor, and is preoccupied with preparing for his promotion.”

Billy was actually about to be promoted? Saul had thought that apart from him, the most promising of the third level apprentices to be promoted was Haywood.

But now it seemed that third level apprentices were just like first and second level apprentices, the most powerful people were not necessarily the first to be promoted.

Thinking of Kong Sha, Saul silently added another sentence in his heart.

The most powerful people don’t necessarily get promoted either.

He put down the pen and paper in his hand and walked toward Billy to Kori’s slightly puzzled gaze.

“I haven’t seen you since the last time I came out of Mill Sail Town, and I heard you haven’t been back. Were you injured when you left last time?” Saul had a chilling smile on his face.

Billy didn’t stand up and looked up at Saul, the large whites of his eyes looked a bit oozy.

He was even more somber than the last time they’d met.

“Traded my life for a chance to escape, took most of the year to recuperate.” He asked Saul again, “What about you, didn’t see you come out of the gates.”

Saul said sincerely, “The town has two gates.”

Billy always felt that Saul didn’t escape by sparing his mental body trauma and mild contamination of his whole body like he did.

But he had no proof.

“Did you meet Mrs. Yura on your way out?”

“…… Well, actually I was able to get out thanks to Mrs. Yura’s help.”

“Why was she there?” Saul didn’t carry the red-eyed puppet doll with him that time he went to Mill Sail Town, and acted stealthily.

Common sense would say that Mrs. Yura shouldn’t know where he went.

“I’m not sure why she happened to be there.”

“Is she the only one?”

Billy was silent for a moment, “It’s something I’m not at liberty to say if Mrs. Yura didn’t say anything to you about it.”

Saul raised his eyebrows and thought, “Now you want to think about keeping Mrs. Yura’s whereabouts a secret?”

Outwardly, Saul still nodded, “Understood, secret mission right.”

It was expected that the question could not be asked.

Saul swept a glance at the materials in front of Billy, “I won’t bother you then, I wish you a speedy promotion.”

Saul turned around and was just about to leave when he heard Billy say behind him, “Saul, don’t get involved in too many things, it’s unnecessary and dangerous.”

This sentence, he also said with a summoning spell.
