Chapter 1766: Death and Fear

Transcendence and scientific research are two concepts that are incompatible to a certain extent.

The former requires awe, while the latter naturally needs to seek death.

What is gratifying is that in this aspect, many tutors in the Academy have shown considerable qualities. To sum up, they are doing great things without showing their appearance.

For example, Professor Akai, who might have been taking a nap just now, even set up a cultivation not far away before going to bed.

The death seed was planted not far from the Shancurs Academy, and there was no worry that other professors would beat him to death if they found out.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no security measures at all. A bright green strip of cloth was placed in a circle in a remote corner in front of him, enclosing a stone pillar and even other random things.

It's just that the layout is like a crime scene, but it always feels like people are not interested in it, but want to go in and take a look.

"This side of Shanshu is usually deserted, but when you get deeper into the back, there are even fewer people coming here."

He was obviously aware of such a problem on the way here. Professor Akai seemed a little embarrassed and took the initiative to explain without waiting for comment before payment.

"In addition, the expansion speed of this thing is really very slow, so the danger is not that great."

Pulling the strips apart casually, Professor Akai gestured to Fu Qian to take a closer look.

"It's been almost an hour now."

…

Slow is indeed slow.

Although there are no gorgeous special effects, but for the front, you can still feel the strangeness there without stepping forward.

Of course, he still didn't refuse Professor Akai's invitation. He walked all the way to the stone pillar and tapped his fingers on it.

Wow...

Almost as thick as a bucket, this pillar, which seemed to have accumulated over time and could be rated as a cultural relic to a certain extent, did not fall down at the next moment.

But at the same time, on one side of it, fine stone powder poured down like dandruff. The gesture was so turbulent that after a moment, an arc-shaped cavitation was directly formed on the stone pillar.

This is part of that ball, the border of the Death Seed.

Relying on such a trace, even if you can't sense anything, you can roughly find the center and radius of the sphere with a little geometric knowledge.

Professor Akai is indeed not excusing himself. It took an hour for it to spread to this extent, which is almost as fast as a snail.

Although this snail is obviously highly poisonous.

Death that erodes everything, the unique shape of the stone pillars has fully demonstrated this.

The unaffected parts seemed to be able to survive for at least a hundred years, while the inside of the ball had directly turned into dust.

And it's not the only thing affected.

Other items within the range had metal rotting away, grass and trees drying up, and even the clump of fur nestled there had completely lost its luster.

And all of these seemed to trigger a chain reaction as the puff of stone powder fell to the ground. Under the shock, they could no longer maintain their outlines and turned into dust.

Even if the impact is so insignificant.

At the same time, under this situation, there is still no smell of corpse.

Sure enough, it feels very similar to Brother Luo, and the previous discussions about its identity and even origin as a miraculous creature seem to be further confirmed.

"The additional effects you mentioned require contact experience?"

Although he took the lead, it was Professor Akai's project after all. Before paying, he did not directly operate it rudely, but nodded slightly and confirmed it first.

"Yes, its form of existence is very stable. It seems that there is no need to worry about causing disturbance at present."

With such good academic qualities, Professor Akai felt deeply respected and explained very simply.

"But its level is quite high, so it's best to do it step by step."

"clear."

Nodding, he slowly inserted a finger into the "ball".

…

Seeking death is always just to seek truth.

Even though he is one level higher than Professor Akai imagined, Fu Qian still has no interest in violating the experimental operation.

Even before starting the gradual process, he made a point of rolling up the sleeves of the clothes he just bought.

No material impact arrived.

The ball, which is completely invisible by sight alone, can enter without any obstruction.

However, in Fu Qian's perception, he could clearly know that the part of flesh and blood that penetrated the inside of the sphere was dying at an alarming speed.

And that's not even the only change.

"Feel it?"

Professor Akai, who has been staring here at this moment, can't help but ask questions excitedly.

"That is the purest emotion that is directly imprinted in the depths of the soul - fear. This is the essence of this miracle. The withering effect similar to death is just incidental."

"And it's completely different from the latter. As long as you leave the affected area, the withering effect will be quickly relieved. But this fear is different. It's like directly merging with the soul. It feels like it will take much longer to eliminate."

As he spoke, Akai raised his arm and showed the little finger of his left hand.

Sure enough, the first part and the following part showed two completely different states.

The former is as dull as a dead branch, while the back is still ruddy and smooth.

It was obvious that this person really had a scientific spirit. After successfully activating the miracle, he was not satisfied with simply testing it with objects.

And the conclusion he came to, I have to say, is also very clear.

Nodding slightly, he continued to stretch his front hand forward until it reached the rolled up cuff, feeling the increasing discomfort.

"How long have you been here?"

At the same time, he gestured to Akai's hand.

"About eight hours. This was the result of the first successful launch. I only stayed in it for ten seconds."

Akai was obviously not too surprised that Professor Fu could see that the damage on his hand was much longer than an hour. He stroked the dry finger and said.

"And until now, I am still struggling with the fear stirring in my heart... Professor Fu, do you have any special feelings?"

And it is obvious that having a demigod to help test the effect is simply what he wants, so he is quite concerned about Fu Qian's feelings.

"Your conclusion is reasonable to a certain extent. This impact on the will level is the core."

And Fu Qian did not keep it a secret. The next moment, he withdrew his hand and looked at the corpse-like skin.

"But the relationship between fear and apoptosis may not be the primary and secondary effects brought by a miracle, but the cause and effect."

Clenching his fist, Fu Qian listened to the creaking of the bones and shook his head.

"Apoptosis does not occur directly. Its driving source is the fear of apoptosis."

"I don't know what the most accurate definition of miracle is for Shan Zhuyuan. It feels to me that the essence of this miracle is like a person who is so afraid of death that he finally scares himself to death."
