Chapter 708

"……kill me."

On the third day after Sarah was given life and saw the world with her own eyes, her maker Phillips gave her such an irresistible order.

Even though Sarah still didn't understand anything at the time, the alchemy pattern deeply engraved deep in her soul still drove her to stand up, grabbed the sharp knife on the table and cut Phillips' throat accurately.

...

Death is painful, and no matter whether the death is voluntary or not, the pain it will give will not be relieved in any way.

Therefore, the image of Phillips clutching his throat with a ferocious face and blood bubbling from between his fingers has clearly remained in her memory since that day. Even though everything in that scene has gradually faded with the passage of time, in the almost black-and-white picture, the dripping blood will only become more red.

"Phillips is paranoid. His heart has long been occupied by alchemy, and he can't accommodate anything else." Sarah, who was sitting on the floor with her knees hugged, lowered her head and said softly, "After I was born For three whole days, he was walking and thinking—he was thinking about what a soul really is, and how he could use alchemy to construct it."

Just as she was talking, Sarah suddenly raised her head and glanced at Maca.

"On the third night, in the hotel room, he suddenly had an idea, that is, he wanted to experience the details of the soul for himself."

"So, under his order, I killed him in the refining formation he drew..." She explained silently, "The stripping of the soul was successful, but the refining formation failed to keep him .”

At this point, Sarah lowered her head again, allowing her hair to cover her face—just like many years ago.

"He died by my hand, and by his own hand."

After hearing Sarah's narration, Maca couldn't help feeling a little secretly.

There is actually no essential difference between the study of alchemy and other magic studies. Some extremely profound things actually have problems in various aspects. Before those problems are solved, only by classifying them as "taboos" can we prevent some bad things from happening. things happen.

Just like the girl in front of him, how should her existence be defined? A new kind of life? or something else?

"According to what you just said, you have no emotions? But I think you have had many..."

"After so many years, I just don't want to learn, and many expressions and reactions from others will naturally be imprinted in my body." Sarah hugged her knees and said, "Hey, like now-I think I It should be lonely now, and it should be sad when talking about these past events... But, what does loneliness and sadness feel like? I have no idea."

"So, the help you want me to help is related to this?" Maca nodded and said.

"Yes, in fact, I have been looking for wizards who have research on soul magic, but there are too few people who study this kind of knowledge..." Sarah said frankly, "I originally wanted to find you from the British magic world. That Voldemort's, I heard that he managed to come back to life after his death, and I think it has something to do with some kind of soul magic."

When she said this, she paused for a while,

Then he continued: "However, before I could find him, he died again."

"Then, in fact, it didn't take long before you appeared... At first I didn't think that you also had research on the soul, but you appeared before my eyes several times, making it difficult for me not to pay attention to you."

"So, after hearing some of your deeds from Noah, I asked someone to find out about your situation. After testing you personally, I decided to enroll in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Perhaps because of the relationship she planned to confess to Maka tonight, her expression was much less when she spoke. But as she said just now, some "emotional appearances" have been integrated into her body, although it is as flat as clear water, but the occasional frown still seems to be trying to convey the trouble she should have at the moment .

"My situation? What have you investigated?" Maka was probably tired from standing for a long time, so he simply sat down on the floor and asked casually while considering whether to help.

"For example, for a long time, your behavior has been a little abnormal." Sarah glanced at him again, "It seems to have started from the second grade? Anyway... I think you seem to have lost what you should have Emotions, I have become indifferent to many things. I am afraid that no one will understand this feeling better than me, so I will soon have a clue."

"The person you hired did the investigation carefully enough?" Maca shook his head, but did not deny it.

"No, at least compared to other information about you, these things are not difficult to know," Sarah said calmly, "You have too many secrets, the more I know, the more I feel that I don't understand anything. There are even more questions. It's just that I'm not very interested in anything about you other than the point just now."

"Okay!" Maca spread his hands, "Thank God... There are quite a few people who are interested in me. It is already a blessing for me to reduce one."

As far as his complaint was concerned, Sarah was naturally not interested, so she didn't take up the conversation. After pausing for a few more seconds, she used two interrogative sentences to summarize the topic just said.

"So, did your emotions come back later? How did you do it?"

For Sarah's question, Maca certainly has an answer, but his answer can't solve any of Sarah's problems.

"Unfortunately, there is one thing you got wrong." Maca explained, "During that time, I didn't lose my emotions, it was just blocked and covered up by some forces. And the one who unlocked the unknown seal was A powerful emotional shock."

Luna used her body to block the sharp blade that should have fallen on Maca. It was the girl's behavior that made Maca feel a shock from the bottom of his heart.

And when the emotional seal in his soul was torn apart by that violent impact, he not only recovered the emotions he had lost for a long time, but also gave himself the strange ability to sense magic power with his soul.

It's a pity that although this has a lot to do with the soul and emotions, it is fundamentally different from Sarah's situation.

"In other words, you don't have any clue about the connection between emotions and soul?"

Sarah pursed her lips. Even though she didn't know what the so-called "disappointment" felt like, the expression on her face could not help telling Maca that she should be disappointed at this moment.

But at this time, Maca shook his head again.

"Although there was a mistake in your investigation, which led to a decisive gap between your speculation and the reality..." Maca hesitated for a while, and then continued, "However, I have to say that you are lucky. For emotions and emotions, I happen to be doing research on this..."

His research is actually still in progress, and it is foreseeable that this research may continue for a long time.

"But--"

When Sarah heard that Maca was studying, she couldn't help but want to say something, but Maca suddenly reached out to stop her.

"I know what you want to say," he said, "Yes, since ancient times, many wizards have studied emotions and emotions, because most magic is closely related to them. However, my research angle is not the same as that of others. Same... If you are not in a hurry, you can wait at Hogwarts, and I may give you the right direction to solve the problem."

"Can't we say it now?" Sarah asked immediately.

But Maca just thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.

"There are too many terrible facts behind this research, and I can't just say it casually now," he said quite frankly this time, "However, since your needs do not conflict with my purpose, I should help you I will still help you... After all, I do owe you once, don't I?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the bald old man beside him, expressing that he had acknowledged the help Sarah gave him at the price of breaking an arm.

Upon hearing this, Sarah slightly opened her mouth, but quickly closed her jaw again, and didn't bother with this matter any more. After that, she slowly stood up from the floor, as if she planned to leave first.

This time, Maca didn't keep her anymore, he still has other things to deal with!

But when Sarah walked to the door, she turned around lightly as if she remembered something. At this moment, her blue eyes looked in the direction of Maca again, as if there was something more in her eyes.

"Professor McLean, since you are willing to do me this favor, does that mean...do you think I can be counted as your 'friend'?"

Maca really didn't expect that she would ask such a question, so she couldn't help being slightly taken aback, but then smiled again.

"Who knows? I think you can think about this question yourself," he shrugged. "If you can find the answer by yourself, maybe it will be of great help to your search for emotions!"

In fact, doing Sarah this favor is partly because it has no conflict of interest with Maca, but more because it is beneficial to the important research Maca is doing.

As for the question of "Are you a friend or not"...it seems simple, but in fact it is unexpectedly complicated, and Maca himself may not be able to figure it out.

After Sarah left from the door with doubts again, Maka put aside her thoughts and shifted her gaze to the old man on the ground.

"Let me take a look!" he muttered, "What's going on in your head that makes you come to Hogwarts in such a hurry..."
