   Chapter 397 Experimental Materials (23)

  Ryanland is under martial law.

   This is what Night Snake saw the first time he arrived in Laian Territory.

  The sanctuary executors haven't arrived yet. These people don't seem to be rushing themselves, and even took alchemy potions to take advantage of the wind to speed up their flight. The 'Nightwing Snake' is originally a monster bloodline with both stealth and speed. Thunderstorms can't stop him at all, and can even cover his whereabouts.

But even so, the city of Laian, surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, fell into panic. The city that was supposed to have a curfew is now brightly lit, especially the baron's castle, and their "experiment target"'s home is surrounded by **** of flames. He felt a little uncomfortable in the dark.

-What happened?

  With such doubts, Night Snake, who was unwilling to reveal his identity, hid his whereabouts. He floated in the air along the rain curtain. The black carapace absorbed all the light and noise, making his figure even more silent.

  Then, he saw that the nun of the Huaiguang Church, 'Yingguang', was negotiating with a tired old man with gray hair and many city guards and public leaders gathered around the baron's castle.

  The junior sister of the temple executor "Redemption", she did pursue the disappearance all the way, but found the target so quickly?

   Besides, isn’t that old guy next to Baron Leanne’s steward, Moda?

   Could it be that the steward broke away from memory overwriting and ran to tell the nun the truth? ! But how is this possible? With Moda's spiritual power, how could he break through the brainwashing of psykers!

   "Wait, what about Baron Ryan? And those four subjects?"

Feeling uneasy in his heart, Ye Snake suddenly felt bad, and understood why the Huaiguang Church dispatched two temple executors to Lai'an to lead him: "Could it be that Baron Lai'an and the experimental subject are separated from each other?" Planning to leave the castle, and this little nun happened to break into the castle and found traces of the experiment?!"

   "How could it be such a coincidence!"

   Soon, his guess was confirmed, because the nun Huaiguang with gray hair and dragon horns took out evidence one after another from the castle.

If the human bone statues and human skin scrolls at the beginning were not obvious to ordinary people, and only the experienced city guard captains and butchers changed their complexions, then the internal organs of the human body taken out by Sister Huaiguang, as well as the obvious ones soaked in antiseptic solution With the hands and feet in the nutrient solution, and even the head specimens with closed eyes, everyone screamed.

   "Isn't this the little Bonnie from the next village? She disappeared a year ago, and the family members were dying of panic. Her father almost sold the house and asked adventurers to search for people in the deep mountains... How could she be here?!"

   "Light of Huaiguang, this, this is too scary—what the **** is the baron doing?!"

   "The Lord Baron must have been bewitched by someone. Those ominous children, I knew something was wrong with them!"

Even after seeing these true evidences, the citizens present could hardly believe that their Lord Baron was actually a vicious alchemist who often went out to intercept caravans and lone travelers, and even robbed the residents of his own territory for experiments. division.

Because in terms of policy, Baron Laian has been using the profits from alchemy materials such as Xiahuicao to give various subsidies to the residents of the entire Laian Territory, so that they can settle down and plant with peace of mind. You won't go hungry, and you can occasionally add something to your family.

  Looking around the entire agate stone plain, it is well known that there is no lord more generous than Baron Ryan.

  How could he do such a thing?

   There is solid evidence, and the Huaiguang Church never lies. The white-haired dragon girl held up a strange sample bottle in her hand, which contained a sample of Xiahui grass that had been entwined with mycelium.

  Sister Reflecting Light solemnly told everyone that this was a discovery from the Baron's alchemy laboratory, and it was a biological weapon sample unique to Flameland.

   Apart from that, she didn't say anything, but there was an uproar in the crowd.

  —Is it Flameland?

  —The Baron and Flame were hooked up, so these human experiments were done? !

  —Is Flame Land trying to kill us, Lean Leader?

Although there is no logic, and there is no reason to explain the rationality of this point, but the three words of Feiyandi are enough to annoy all Nanling people—especially in the past six years, because of the threat of Feiyandi. The Southwest Commercial Road has really affected the living standards and interests of all Nanling people.

   In this way, insulting Flameland itself is a kind of political correctness.

  As for your defense that Fei Yandi is not so powerful, let me analyze it rationally...

   Are you a spy for Flameland?

  You still want to speak for Flameland!

   "Pyrelands? When did we become Pyrelands?"

   Regarding this, Ye Snake was extremely confused: "Why do people in Nanling like to use Feiyandi as an excuse so much?"

"That little girl, I clearly remember that the brain structure is closer to the experimental target No. 4, Linda who activates psionic energy, so I want to see if she can endow the corpse with a soul, and implant a 'false memory' in it, creating a similar The existence of the 'resurrected corpse' is why they were taken away."

  As a scholar who obtained the title of knight with his research results, Night Snake is actually quite familiar with those experimental specimens, especially many of the targets are special targets that he asked the baron to capture, or sent his men to capture.

  That sad and stupid man, as long as he uses the excuse of 'this has something to do with the technology of resurrecting your child', it is enough to make him do anything obediently.

  But he didn't know that his child, the "chosen one" himself, was also the target of their experiments.

   Psionics. resurrection. Immortality.

  No matter how ignorant people are, they can understand the weight of these words. Ordinary people regard these things as impossible fantasies, as miracles that no one can achieve.

   Then they used their own hands to turn this vain delusion into reality bit by bit.

Artificial psykers, all countries in Terra are conducting experiments, and there is already quite mature evidence that after the catastrophe, all surviving human beings have a part of 'psychic potential' in their bodies, but this potential power or large Or small.

And through intense emotional ups and downs, people's thinking mode is distorted, and after reaching a certain threshold, which is enough to form a distorted and solid circuit of the "soul", this potential power will be gradually activated, and even manifested in an instant. Transformation, become 'spiritual energy'.

   Compared with short-term happiness, long-term pain and despair, emptiness and distortion are more likely to create powerful spiritual energy.

This is feasible and reproducible—acquired psykers can already be manufactured through technical means, but the catalysis consumes a lot of experimental materials, and it needs to carefully design a "plot" that makes people fluctuate violently. The manufacturing process is extremely cumbersome. It depends on luck, and it is not practical for the time being.

In the final analysis, the "heart light" of the third energy level is to tap the realm of self-spiritual energy in the body. This is a more natural method of man-made psykers. Useful, not very meaningful.

  So, after confirming this point, the Institute of Intellectual Knowledge shifted its target to the 'Chosen One'.

  On the newly born youngest son of Baron Ryan.

The chosen ones do not have any rules of appearance, they are completely random numbers. This kind of psychics are born with souls and activated psychic powers. They are the "new human beings" born with psychic powers, and they are undoubtedly the future human beings. direction of evolution.

The psychic power of each chosen person is different, and may not be strong, but they all have the potential to advance to the third energy level, because their souls are born to be fully integrated with their bodies, and they can naturally evolve into a "heart light body" , just like all sublimators of the third energy level.

   It's amazing, the chosen one who is born with a soul is simply the perfect object.

  Excellent material, excellent experimental subject.

  —For example, if the soul of a chosen one loses his body, will he still have all kinds of special and strange things?

  —Will his psychic power grow stronger with his 'age'?

  —After losing his own body, can the soul of the chosen one return to a brand new body and be resurrected through methods such as 'echo' or 'memory transcription'?

  —With a brand new physical body, can they naturally evolve the mind light body again?

  —At that time, could they still be regarded as the chosen ones?

Etc., etc…

The so-called 'echo', 'resurrection' and 'immortality' are essentially by-products of experiments. They are all people chasing the essence of psionic energy, chasing the principle of the birth of souls, chasing the miracles that naturally appear on the chosen ones, produced by-products.

  It is true that in the process of seeking the truth, some experimental materials may be consumed, but these are also necessary consumables. It is really an honor for these mortals who live in a daze and do not know what the meaning is to be sacrificed for this great progress.

  That's why the Institute of Gnosis planned such an accident.

In that accident, the baron lost his wife and child, but unexpectedly found that the soul of his child still exists... After that, the people in black who were "actively" asked by the baron to come to the door began to "enthusiastically" support the baron. Offers a variety of resurrection programs.

   Experimental plans one by one.

   Around this huge experiment related to the essence of the soul, one subsidiary plan after another was launched.

  Artificial psykers, cloned psykers, limit value of mental distortion, flesh and blood reorganization, anti-psychic interference experiments...

  Memory rewriting, concept coverage, artificial blood, prophetic echo assimilation...

   Baron Ryan and his "adopted son and adopted daughter" have achieved a lot of research, and their Nanling branch has been repeatedly awarded.

In particular, Night Snake opened up a series of joints on the border of Nanling, allowing them to let in as many refugees as possible who left their homes in the western plains... These refugees thought they could escape to the relatively comfortable Nanling, but they didn't know that only some of them could be properly resettled. , the vast majority of other people can only resign themselves to fate.

   In this way, cheap experimental materials are available, and they are very abundant and very valuable.

  Most of these people who dared to leave their hometowns to seek a living were more resilient in spirit, and had experienced misery. They were particularly durable as experimental subjects in the spiritual aspect and were much easier to use than ordinary people.
