Chapter 1082

Dak lowered his head and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Professor Kazel smiled and said, "Whether he has consciousness or not, he is indeed cultivating demons and refining magic elf cards with them. Otherwise, that set of cards would not exist. Since such a fact exists, it can be traced back."

Dak's heart moved and said, "I understand. Whether it is cultivating demons or refining magic elf cards, time and place are required. We can't ask Jeffrey about the location of the experimental site for the time being, but we can figure out when he conducted the experiment through a conversation with him."

Professor Kazel nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

After that, he turned and entered the inner room and asked Sister Carian to wake up Angus Jeffrey who had just fallen asleep.

...

A quarter of an hour later, Professor Kazel came out again with a slight smile on his face.

Obviously, he already had the answer.

Dak and others immediately stopped discussing and looked at him together.

Professor Kazer sat down on the chair and said, "I asked about Jeffrey's schedule. Basically, he goes to bed between 10 and 11 every night, and wakes up between 7 and 7:30 in the morning."

Dak was surprised and said, "He didn't stay up late?"

Jeffrey's dark circles were so big and obvious. Isn't it a medal of hard work from staying up late?

Professor Kazer smiled and said, "He did."

The professors suddenly looked at each other and understood.

Professor Kazer continued, "He gets enough sleep every night, but he wakes up the next morning feeling very sleepy and his complexion gradually gets worse.

But he himself is completely unaware of the problem and thinks it is normal.

This change in concept should be caused by the influence of the book... Let's not talk about it for now. Anyway, he obviously conducted the experiment after falling asleep."

Professor Lily interrupted, "Does this look like sleepwalking?"

Professor Kazer shook his head and said, "More like being manipulated."

Professor Mitia curled his lips and said, "Then this is back to the original question. If you only need a manipulable object, then the book "Into the Abyss" doesn't need to be picky at all, just find a student at random."

"You're right." Professor Kazer agreed, "So assuming he is not being manipulated, there will be a second possibility-he has a second consciousness!"

...

One soul, two consciousnesses.

It sounds very mysterious, but to describe it in layman's terms, it is the so-called "dual personality".

Of course, this is slightly different from the simple "dual personality".

Professor Kazer combined the above information to infer that Angus Jeffrey has "two consciousnesses".

When the first consciousness is asleep, the second consciousness will wake up.

This second consciousness also has all the knowledge and abilities of Angus Jeffrey, and can conduct various experiments based on this.

But the first consciousness does not have the memory of the second consciousness.

Therefore, Angus Jeffrey knows nothing about the site and specific process of the experiment.

And Professor Kazer cannot spy on it by reading his mind.

If you want to know the site and specific process of Angus Jeffrey's experiment, you need to ask the second consciousness.

Then the question is, how can you ask the second consciousness?

...

The professors were not too surprised by Professor Kazer's inference.

It is not uncommon for there to be only one soul in this world, but multiple consciousnesses.

Whether it is the "two-headed ogre", "three-headed chimera" or "hydra", it is the same.

It's just that Angus Jeffrey should have been a normal person with only one consciousness before, so where did his second consciousness come from?

"It's not that he has schizophrenia because of excessive stimulation, right?" Dak couldn't help but mutter.

Of course, he actually tends to think that it was caused by the book "Into the Abyss".

Professor Sylph said: "If it was caused by that book, it can explain why it abandoned Cameron Macefield."

Professor Kazer nodded and said: "Macefield's mental power is very strong, and it is difficult for him to have a second consciousness."

Hearing this, Dak couldn't help but pick up "Into the Abyss" again and strongly protested.

Professor Kazer glanced at him and said, "Perhaps the book found that Jeffrey's ability was not enough to accomplish its purpose during this period, so it made a new choice."

Dak pursed his lips and asked, "Professor, is there any way to confirm whether he has a second consciousness?"

Professor Kazer shook his head and said with some regret: "If it is two souls, it is easy to distinguish, but if it is two consciousnesses... Let me give you a simple example, they are like the happy me and the unhappy me, essentially the same individual.

Because there is no difference, it cannot be distinguished. Unless the second consciousness is awakened and compared with the first consciousness."

Dak asked: "How can it be awakened?"

Professor Kazer glanced at the wall clock and said calmly: "Between ten and eleven o'clock in the evening."

In fact, Angus Jeffrey had fallen asleep many times just now, but his second consciousness had not awakened.

This shows that there should be some other conditions for the awakening of the second consciousness, among which the easiest one to think of is naturally time.

"Then what if after ten o'clock in the evening, the second consciousness still cannot be awakened?" Duck couldn't help but ask.

Professor Kazel said: "That means our inference is wrong. Or, the second consciousness was brought by the book. As the book abandoned him, the second consciousness naturally disappeared. ”

Professor Silver nodded and said, "Then we'll watch it tonight."

…

The professors settled the matter with just a few words.

Then they left Angus Jeffrey in the care of Sister Carrie Ann, left the infirmary, and moved to Professor Sylph's office.

It was just noon, and none of the professors had eaten.

Professor Silver took out a "Food Card" and summoned various foods.

They continued their discussion while eating.

But the topic of discussion has shifted from Angus Jeffrey to the book "Into the Abyss".

"Knowledge knows no good or evil."

This is the general consensus among professors at St. Marian College.

Therefore, among the professors sitting here, except for Professor Medea Bartholomew, none of them paid much attention to "Into the Abyss".

What they want to know more is who implanted the "brain fluid demon" into Vern Morse's brain?

This is the cause of this incident and has been the target of the investigation.

However, according to the current situation, we can only wait until the evening to confirm.

As for the book "Into the Abyss", since it chose Dak, it will be handed over to Dak for the time being. In short, with Professor Medea's barrier lock, it cannot escape again.

"The question now is does it actually trigger schizophrenia in the owner?"

If he could, Dak would dispose of it without hesitation.

Because it is too dangerous for him!

Of course, after throwing it away, he would carefully record the contents of the book.

…

Anyway, after some discussion, Dark finally left Professor Silver's office with "Into the Abyss".

He had other things to do and couldn't stay in the office all the time.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, he would go to the infirmary again and meet the professors.

But now, he needs to go to the teachers' dormitory, because the removal of Lacey's "Fire of the Underworld" has finally reached a critical period!

Grace and Lacey arrived at the college on Sunday. Grace lay in the coffin of the "Coffin of Death" for three and a half days and reached the critical period on Thursday.

Duck originally thought that Lacey's critical period would be this Sunday, that is, tomorrow.

But her progress was much faster than expected.

Only two days have passed from Thursday noon to now, and Lacey's "Fire of the Underworld" has been pulled out until only a few bits are left.

This may be because Lacey has less "Fire of the Underworld", or it may be because the "proficiency" of "Death's Coffin" has increased.

After all, the "Death Coffin" has been practiced for nearly half a month, and the "Fire of the Underworld" is indeed eaten faster.

…

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Duck knocked on the maids' dormitory door.

"Click."

The person who opened the door was Josie in casual clothes.

Duck walked into the room and asked softly: "How is the situation?"

Josie's expression was quite relaxed: "It shouldn't be a problem. Lacey doesn't have the same difficulties as Grace, but I often hear her calling "Death Coffin" to hurry up. She must be in a hurry to go back and go on a mission. ”

"Haste makes waste," Dak said. "Sometimes too fast is not a good thing. I hope nothing goes wrong."

Because today is Saturday, Eve, who is responsible for managing the store, is not here.

Under the leadership of Josie, Dak pushed open the door of Lacey's room and found the petite Nana leaning on a chair and reading a book leisurely, while Grace was sitting on the bedside reading, but Lacey was nowhere to be seen.

When Dak pushed open the door and entered, Nana and Grace stood up quickly, saying "Hello, young master".

Duck nodded and asked, "Where's Lacey?"

Nana pointed at the "Death God's Coffin", narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I've already laid down in it."

When Dak nodded, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked with bright eyes: "Master, where are you?"

Dak said: "My side?"

Nana said: "Yes, I heard that you made your opponent faint during the duel?"

Dak smiled and briefly explained what happened before.

However, he did not explain what happened behind it, but only slightly mentioned his connection with Angus Jeffrey.

Then he looked at the coffin placed in the center of the room and waited patiently.

This wait lasted a full three hours.

Three hours later, the "Death Coffin" finally made some movement.

Nana, who had been detecting the situation inside the coffin half an hour ago, suddenly let go. Gray flames suddenly burst out from the surface of the "Death God's Coffin". The flames continued to rise and licked the ceiling in the blink of an eye, as if they were about to engulf the coffin. The whole room seemed to be on fire.

But the experienced Dak and others were not surprised at all and continued to wait.

After another quarter of an hour, the lid of the "Death Coffin" suddenly opened from the inside. The soaked Lacey sat up suddenly, as if pretending to be a corpse, and then suddenly turned her head and looked at the person sitting next to her with fiery eyes. Master.

Dak only glanced at it, and then quickly recited the normal summoning spell silently, instantly activating the "Pride I" he had prepared in his hand.

As the light of "Pride I" illuminated her whole body, the impulse in Lacey's eyes quickly disappeared and she gradually calmed down.

"What's going on?" Dak asked with concern.

The blush on Lacey's cheeks quietly faded. After closing her eyes and carefully sensing for a moment, she opened her eyes and said excitedly: "The "Fire of the Underworld" in my body has been completely removed, and I can finally go on a mission!"

Dak looked at this mission maniac with a smile on his face: "In that case, let Eve inform the Duke's Mansion that we will have dinner together in Traveler Street tonight to celebrate a little."

"Okay, Master." Several maids said in unison.

Grace's eyes moved, and she said with some regret: "After tonight, Lacey and I should leave."

Nana smiled and said: "Then there will be new sisters coming tomorrow."

Grace nodded and said: "It should be."

...

When Lacey had enough rest and the sky had darkened, Dak took the maids to Traveler Street for dinner.

After the "Fire of the Underworld" in Lacey's body was completely removed, she became much more active, and Grace became closer, and the dinner atmosphere was very good.

After dinner, Eve connected with Irene and reported the experimental results.
