Volume 19 Chapter 87 Slice, Slice
Ling held the light ball in his hand and played with it for a while and said: "This soul is quite special. It should not be the soul formed by ordinary creatures. "
"Can this be seen?" I asked in surprise.
Ling nodded and said: "After all, I often come into contact with souls, and I know a lot about the souls of living things. If the souls of ordinary living things are particularly weak, they usually exist in the form of spherical flames, such as free soul fragments. But As long as the soul has a certain strength, the external form it displays will be the form recognized in his memory. For example, a person's soul thinks that he is a human, so his soul is in human form, even during his lifetime. The appearance can be copied perfectly."
After hearing Ling's explanation, I immediately understood why Ling said that this guy was not a soul formed by ordinary creatures, because even if this guy changed into a soul form, he still maintained the form of a demon doll, and his form was actually that of a mobile angel. The form is just missing the pair of wings.
This guy's current form is exactly that of the demon puppet whose soul was just removed by Ling. But the problem is that the demon puppet was just pieced together, and this guy's soul is obviously not the one that was just pieced together. formed from the golem. As for the possibility that he may be the soul formed by a mobile angel, I think the possibility is not very likely. Mobile Angels are advanced constructs that our guild has only put into use recently. Not to mention how strict our guild supervises Mobile Angels, even if Mobile Angels form an independent personality, under the soul array of our guild, This guy's personality should also be biased towards our guild. Besides, our guild has never heard of a complete mobile angel being lost. Therefore, this guy's soul is definitely not born from the body of a mobile angel, but why does he think that his form is like that of a mobile angel?
"Can you figure out how he came to be?" I said to Ling.
Ling did not nod or shake his head, but said uncertainly: "It's hard to say, and I'm not sure whether I can figure it out. I can use soul reading to try to read the memory of this soul, but it's very difficult to do so. It may cause the soul to collapse. In addition, even if it can be read successfully, it is not necessarily possible to know its origin. After all, the creation of the soul precedes the establishment of personality and consciousness, and memory is something that can only appear after consciousness, so most people Most creatures have no memory of how they were born. However, many creatures can understand their origins through instinct or later racial education, but this guy..."
Although Ling didn't finish what he said, his meaning was already very clear. This guy is obviously not like a normal creature. Even if he is a normal creature, he is still a construct creature. The soul characteristics of the constructed creature itself are very strange. Coupled with the special nature of this guy, it is difficult to guarantee that he must have racial inheritance or something like that. So he may not know how he came here, and even if we read his memory, it may be in vain.
"Is there no other way?" I asked helplessly.
Ling thought for a while and said: "There is not a way to do it. If you are not in a hurry, we can talk about it later. There is professional equipment over there that can safely read his memory, and I think if this guy is really It is more appropriate to construct a creature and read its memory to the point where it is not as appropriate to read his soul carrier directly."
The soul carrier Ling mentioned is a special component installed in the body of the constructed organism. Its function is to prepare a place for the soul to rest. Because most metals cannot be fused with the soul body, constructed creatures cannot attach the soul to the entire body like adult creatures. They must install a component in the body that the soul can attach to, so that the demon can obtain independent intelligence through this soul. and personality and thereby upgrade into a constructed creature.
Because the soul carrier is the sustenance for constructing the soul of living things, this thing often has many brain-like functions, such as memory function. Moreover, the memories that a creature's soul can remember are not actually all the things it has experienced, but only some superficial 'sexual' memories. However, although the soul can record not many memories, living creatures have body parts that can record all memories, such as the brain of a living creature and the soul carrier that constructs the living creature. Therefore, as long as we can find this guy's soul carrier, it may be better than reading his soul directly.
After listening to Ling's suggestion, I nodded and said: "Then let's go back first. Everyone go back to the training space first, throw that guy's body to me in the Phoenix Dragon Space, and let's go back to Isengard first."
After taking back the demon pet and the demon puppet's body, I teleported directly back to Isengard, and then transferred to the New World Floating Island. Although Essinger has a lot of equipment, the floating island in the New World is the real research base of our guild. If the equipment is complete, it may be considered second in the world, but no one dares to say that it is first.
After arriving in the New World, I didn't rush to the Soul Research Institute. Instead, I went to the Magic Machine System Research Center first, and asked the main researchers and a large amount of equipment to be sent here before we went on a grand killing spree. Institute of the Soul.
I found a relatively large room at the Soul Research Institute, and then I asked the technicians to move all the equipment for soul research and magic machine power research into it. Finally, after everything was installed, I released Ling and put the The demon was also released together with the researchers caught previously in the City of Chaos.
"How does this demon look like our guild's mobile angel?" The technician from the Magic Machine Research Center I called shouted as soon as the demon was thrown out.
"This is something that other guilds collected and pieced together after repairing the remains of mobile angels that were lost in our guild's battles." I explained.
"No wonder it looks so much like a Mobile Angel." After the researcher who spoke before asked, "President, since this is a refurbished part of our guild's Mobile Angel, why did you call us over with such a big fanfare... …?”
"Originally, if it was just a renovation, it would be fine, but something unexpected happened in the middle." As I said that, I took out the video of the previous battle and showed it to them.
After reading the battle records, the researchers didn't need me to explain. They directly ordered the two mobile Angels they brought over to lift the golem to the workbench, and then a group of researchers surrounded it. They were going to dismantle the foot to see the inside of the demon doll, but unfortunately they searched for this guy for a long time and couldn't find a single screw gap.
"Strange, why are there no traces of connection? It can't be seamless splicing technology, right?" a researcher asked doubtfully.
Another researcher said: "Stupid, didn't you read the combat record just now? This guy can even heal his wounds. Maybe the joints will grow on their own?"
The two were discussing there when they suddenly heard the roar of machinery behind them. Then they saw another researcher rushing over pushing a wheeled cutting machine, and he was still shouting: "It doesn't matter if there are any seams or not. Just cut it open.”
Although the demon puppet strengthened the metal on its body with the power of its soul, after all, the soul is no longer inside, so the shell is naturally still the same metal as before. Since the Mobile Angel is mass-produced equipment, the material used in its shell cannot reach the hardness of the cutting machine. As soon as the cutting machine is attached, the armor is immediately cut out like tofu. As the researcher carefully moved the cutting machine along the line that should have been the splicing line of the mobile angel armor, soon the entire breastplate on the demon doll was cut off.
With a clicking sound, the researcher quickly pulled the cutting machine back and forth. "Quick, help." As the researcher shouted, the mobile angels on both sides immediately walked over to help carefully lift the cut off breastplate part.
Although this demon doll has changed some of its body structure, after all, this body was originally the body of a mobile angel, and the armor of the mobile angel is notoriously thick. With the researcher's small arms and legs, even if the body is only a breastplate They can't move it either.
Watching the two helping mobile angels carefully lift up the breastplate a little, several researchers nearby quickly got into the golem with a few flashlight-like objects and shined in through the gaps on the sides of the breastplate. . Our guild's mobile angel breastplate is connected to a safety wire underneath. Once the breastplate falls off abnormally, the self-destruction system on the mobile angel will be activated. If the shutdown command of the mobile angel's intelligent circuit is not received within one second, The entire mobile angel will self-destruct. Although this golem was made of scrapped parts, the researchers still carefully checked it just in case.
"It seems that the safety wire is not connected." A researcher said after looking at it for a long time.
One of the researchers on the opposite side followed up and said, "There's none here either. Maybe they're just not pretending."
The researcher with a higher status here heard this and said to the mobile angels beside him: "Lift up another centimeter and take a look." The two mobile angels followed the instructions and raised the breastplates by one centimeter, revealing a relatively large breastplate. gap, now you can clearly see that there is indeed no safety wire connected inside. "It seems that there is indeed no safety line. Okay, take the breastplate away."
After the two mobile angels carried the breastplate away, the researchers gathered around and observed it. While they were studying the structure of the devil, Ling and I had already put the guy's soul into the soul detector and started the soul test.
The so-called soul detector is actually a soul signal strength reader that detects the current inner state of the soul body by capturing the fluctuations of its collapse. Moreover, if there is a soul master of Ling's level, it can also actively search and read this The soul's memory can even be read, even some things that the soul's surface consciousness does not remember.
Under Ling's manipulation, all the things in the soul's memory were quickly pulled out, but the result was useless. As Ling guessed, that guy didn't know how he was born, and many things in his memory were very confusing. According to Ling, before this guy formed a soul, the soul carrier that his soul rested on might have been prepared for the soul of another creature.
"How do you tell that his soul carrier is not just for him?" I asked in confusion.
Ling explained: "This can be seen from the messy things in his memory. This guy has a lot of very strange theoretical systems in his soul, but there is no information about where he was in his memory. When he learned the memory of this knowledge. In other words, he himself didn’t know where this knowledge came from. Generally speaking, if it is a special soul carrier, the memory in it should have detailed source information, but this guy’s soul cannot Reading these things shows that his soul is not compatible with the soul carrier, and this situation usually only occurs under one condition, that is, the soul carrier does not load the originally set target soul. "
After hearing Ling's explanation, I said helplessly: "Anyway, now I know that we can't get anything from this soul."
"That's not necessarily true." Ling suddenly said: "The messy knowledge system in this guy's memory contains a lot of knowledge about golem technology. Although the content is very messy, I think it can be sorted out to some extent. Come up with something useful. In addition, the situation in which external interference causes the soul carrier to develop an independent personality is also worth studying."
I nodded and said: "Leave this to the professionals. Let's go see how the analysis of the demon is going."
Since the soul has been confirmed to be of little value, there is no need to waste more time. In comparison, the body of the demon doll may be more valuable. After all, the soul carrier is probably in the demon doll's body. in the body.
"How's your analysis going?" When I walked over to the magic machine team, the previous magic puppet had been dismantled by these guys and there was nothing left. Instead, there was a big pile on the table next to it. Disassembled parts.
After hearing my question, the researcher in charge of leading the team said: "The time is too short, we have just removed the parts belonging to the Mobile Angel." After that, he pointed to the table next to him and said, "Those They are all dismantled parts. We have checked them all, and they are basically the same as the original ones. However, the remaining items on the table are all things that were not originally found on the mobile angel. If there is any secret in the demon doll, it should be in these parts. It’s on. However, although the number of these parts is not as large as the dismantled items, the total amount is not small. It will probably take a lot of time to analyze and study them one by one."
I was about to speak when I suddenly saw the researchers I captured standing beside me. I didn't expect that these guys had been in a daze for so long and had no effect. But think about it, he has just been taken prisoner, and he must be very nervous now. How can he devote himself to research work?
"Hey, what are you guys doing standing around stupidly? Come here and see if there's anything you know here?" I waved to the guys who looked like wooden men and shouted.
Those researchers were originally in someone else's place, and now they were my prisoners, so they didn't dare to huddle together with the researchers in our guild to conduct research. But now that I called them, they can no longer stay aside.
After following my order and running to the operating table, the researchers looked at the golem for a while, then pointed at a few parts and said, "These are all based on your guild's maneuvers. The parts imitated by Angel are always severely damaged in the collected wreckage, so we can only imitate them ourselves. We can be sure that these parts have not changed in any way from our original design."
Hearing their words, the researchers of our guild immediately waved their hands and said: "Then quickly dismantle all the irrelevant things, and the rest are the key components. By the way, are you just copying these few things? Where did the other stuff come from?”
One of the researchers said: "In addition to these, we also made some imitations, but for some reason, the shape seems to be different from the original design. It should have changed during the process of his body's healing and growth. , so we don’t know if these parts caused the change.”
Hearing him say this, I suddenly remembered that some researchers had said before that this thing had foreign parts that they didn't know about. If there really is any secret in this guy's body, what's in that thing? The probability of 'sex' is definitely over ninety-nine percent. "Hey, didn't you say there was a foreign part before? Which one is it?"
"Exotic parts?" There is no part of the conversation between me and the researcher in the previous battle records, so the researchers in our guild don't know what foreign parts are.
The researcher I brought back quickly told the researchers in our guild what he had told me before. Upon hearing this, the researchers in our guild immediately asked excitedly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier if there was such a thing? Tell me quickly. Who am I?"
"That's it." The researcher said, pointing to something whose structure didn't look complicated at all.
"Quick, take it down quickly." The researcher in our guild excitedly directed a few people next to him to take it down and put it on a special operating table. In addition to the two low-level researchers who continued to dismantle the mutated parts of the demon doll, several other researchers quickly gathered around and began to observe this special part.
There is nothing special about the appearance of the dismantled thing. Its structure is a bit like a men's watch that has been enlarged many times. Of course, this refers to the similar appearance, but there are no hands or dials on this thing.
Because there was nothing special about the appearance, the researchers quickly thought of their usual method - demolition.
Anyone who does research likes to take things apart. Biologists enjoy slicing animals up, and mechanical experts enjoy dismantling machines into piles of parts. The thing in front of you obviously has a protective shell on the outside, and you can't see the core structure unless you open it. However, just when they were about to take action on this thing, it suddenly experienced an astonishing change. (To be continued.
