The villain only wants to live a Buddhist life

Facing Professor Mitia's remarks, Professor Sylph frowned again: "So why did you choose Darke for this book?"

"Maybe it's because I defeated Jeffrey in the duel?" Darke casually found a reason, and he didn't want the professors to continue discussing this issue.

"PAPAPA!"

Professor Kazel clapped his hands to signal a pause in the debate.

Then he raised his wand and said after deliberation: "About the possibility you raised, it's actually not difficult to prove it."

Dak lowered his head and asked curiously, "How?"

Professor Kazel said with a smile: "Whether he is conscious or not, he is indeed cultivating demons and refining them into magical wizard cards. Otherwise, that set of cards would not exist. And since there are If such a fact exists, it can be traced back to it."

Dak's heart moved, and he said: "Understood. Whether it is cultivating demons or refining magic wizard cards, it takes time and a place. We can't ask Jeffrey for the location of the experimental site for the time being, but we can pass Talk to him to figure out when he conducted the experiment."

Professor Kazel nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come as soon as I go."

After speaking, he turned and entered the inner room, and asked Sister Carlian 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 has an answer.

Dake and the others stopped discussing immediately, and Qiqi looked at him.

Professor Kazel sat down on the chair and said: "I asked about Jeffrey's work and rest time. Basically, he would fall asleep between ten and eleven every night, and then he would go to bed from seven to seven in the morning. Get up between :07."

Dak was surprised: "He didn't stay up all night?"

Jeffrey's dark circles are so big and obvious, isn't it a badge of merit for staying up all night?

Professor Kazel smiled and said, "It's over."

The professors suddenly looked at each other and realized something.

Professor Kazel continued: "He has enough sleep time every night, but when he wakes up the next morning, he will be very sleepy and his complexion will gradually deteriorate, but he himself is completely unaware of the problems in it. , On the contrary, he thinks this is normal. This conceptual change should be caused by the influence of that book... Let’s not mention it for now. In short, he obviously conducted the experiment after he fell asleep."

Professor Lily interjected, "This looks like sleepwalking?"

Professor Kazel shook his head and said, "It's more like being manipulated."

Professor Mitia twitched his lips, and said again: "Then this brings us back to the original question. If we only need an object to manipulate, then there is no need to pick and choose in "Into the Abyss". Just find a random student."

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

……

One soul, two consciousnesses.

It sounds abstruse, but to describe it in popular language, it is the so-called "dual personality".

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

Based on the above information, Professor Kazel deduced that Angus Jeffrey had "two consciousnesses".

When the first consciousness falls asleep, the second consciousness wakes 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 knew nothing about the venue and specific process of the experiment.

And Professor Cazel cannot spy on it through mind reading.

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

Here comes the question again, how to ask the second consciousness?

……

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

There is only one soul in this world, but the existence of multiple consciousnesses is actually not uncommon.

This is true whether it is [Two-headed Ogre], [Three-headed Chimera], or [Hydra].

It's just that Angus Jeffrey should be a normal person with only one consciousness before. Where did his second-person consciousness come from?

"Isn't it because of too much stimulation that he has a schizophrenia?" Duck couldn't help muttering.

Of course, in fact, he is more inclined, this is caused by the "Into the Abyss".

"If that was the book, it would explain why it dropped Cameron Masefield," Professor Hilf said.

Professor Kazel nodded and said: "Masefield's mental strength is very strong, and it is difficult to produce a second consciousness."

Hearing this, Dak couldn't help picking up "Into the Abyss" again, strongly protesting.

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

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

Professor Kazel 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 a simple example, they seem to be happy. I and the unhappy me are essentially the same individual. Because there is no difference, I can’t tell the difference. Unless the second consciousness is awakened and compared with the first consciousness.”

Duck asked: "How can I wake it up?"

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

In fact, Angus Jeffrey fell asleep many times just now, but his second consciousness did not wake up.

This shows that there should be some other conditions for the awakening of the second consciousness, and the most easy to think of among them is time.

"Then what if the second consciousness still can't be awakened after ten o'clock in the evening?" Duck couldn't help asking.

Professor Kazel said: "It means that our inference is wrong. Or, the second consciousness was brought by the book, and when the book abandoned him, the second consciousness will naturally disappear. .”

Professor Sylph nodded and said, "Then we'll see it tonight."

……

The professors settled the matter with one word and one word.

Then they handed Angus Jeffrey to the care of Sister Carlian, then left the infirmary and transferred to Professor Sylph's office.

At this time, it was just noon, and the professors hadn't eaten yet.

Professor Sylph 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 neither good nor evil."

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

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

What they want to know more is, who implanted [Brain Fluid Demon] into Fern Morse's brain?

This was the cause of the 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 Darke, it will be temporarily handed over to Darke. In short, with Professor Mitia's enchantment lock, it is impossible for it to escape again.

"The question now is does it actually drive the schizophrenia of the holder?"

If possible, Dak would dispose of it without hesitation.

Because that is too dangerous for him!

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

……

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

He has other things to do and it is impossible to stay in the office all the time.

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

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

Grace and Lacey came to the academy on Sunday. Grace lay in the coffin of "Death Coffin" for three and a half days, and reached the critical period this Thursday.

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

But her progress was much faster than expected.

From noon on Thursday to now, only two days later, Lacey's [Fire of the Underworld] has been pulled out to the point where there is not much left.

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

After all, the [Death Coffin] has been practiced for nearly half a month, and it is indeed faster to eat the [Fire of the Underworld].

……

Two in the afternoon.

Dak knocked on the door of the maids' dormitory.

"Crack."

It was Josie in casual clothes who opened the door.

Dak walked into the room and asked softly, "How's the situation?"

Josie's expression is quite relaxed: "There should be no problem. Lacey doesn't have the same difficulties as Grace, but I often hear her telling [Death's Coffin] to hurry up, it should be because she is anxious to go back to the task .”

"Haste makes waste." Dak said, "Sometimes going too fast is not a good thing, I hope there will be no problems."

Because today is Saturday, Eve, who is in charge of managing the store, is not here.

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

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

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

Nana pointed to the 【Death God's Coffin】, narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "It's already lying in it."

When Da Ke nodded, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked brightly, "Master, where are you?"

Duck said, "My side?"

Nana said, "Yes, I heard that you fainted your opponent during the duel?"

Dak smiled, and briefly explained what happened before.

However, he did not explain what was going on behind the scenes, but only slightly mentioned his connection with Angus Jeffrey.

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

This waited for a full three hours.

Three hours later, [Death God's Coffin] finally made a movement.

Nana, who had been detecting the situation in the coffin half an hour ago, let go suddenly, and a gray flame burst out from the surface of [Death Coffin]. The whole room seemed to burn out.

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

After another quarter of an hour, the coffin lid of the [Death God's Coffin] was suddenly opened from the inside, and the drenched Lacey suddenly sat up, as if she was cheating on a corpse, then turned her head suddenly, and looked at the person sitting next to her with fiery eyes. master.

Dak only glanced at it, then quickly recited the usual summoning spell silently, and instantly activated the [Arrogance 1] that had been prepared in his hand.

As the brilliance of [Arrogance 1] illuminated her whole body, the impulse in Lacey's eyes quickly dissipated, and she gradually calmed down.

"What's the matter?" Duck asked concerned.

The blush on Lacey's cheeks receded quietly, and after she closed her eyes to perceive it carefully for a moment, she opened her eyes excitedly and said, "The [Fire of the Underworld] in my body has been completely removed, and I can finally go on missions!"

Duck looked at the task madman with a smile on his lips: "In that case, let Eve inform the Duke's Mansion that we will have dinner at Traveler's Street tonight to celebrate a little bit."

"Okay, young master." Several maids said in unison.

Grace rolled her eyes and said with some regret: "After tonight, Lacey and I should leave."

Nana smiled and said, "Then there will be a new sister coming tomorrow."

Grace nodded and said, "It should be."

……

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

After the [Fire of the Underworld] in Lacey's body was completely removed, the whole person became more active, and Grace became closer, and the dinner atmosphere was very good.

After the meal, Eve connected with Erin and reported the results of the experiment.

Then Dake accompanied them to the night market in Traveler's Street for a while, and bought some small gifts.

"If only I could stay here until Christmas..."

Grace was playing with the small gift from Duck, and the lights flickered in her eyes.

Then Nana glared at her quietly, and stuffed a gift into her hand: "Here, Christmas present, take it and give it away."

Grace laughed and said no more.

……

The night was getting darker. After sending the maids back to the teachers' dormitory, Duck went straight to the infirmary and knocked on the door.

When he heard the sound of the machine turning inside, he unscrewed the door and entered quickly.

It was just half past nine at this time, but the professors had already gathered.

Duck glanced at the direction of the inner room, and asked in a low voice, "Where's Jeffrey?"

"There is sound insulation." Professor Sylph pointed out, and the sound insulation barrier surrounding the room shimmered.

Professor Kazel said: "Jeffrey is reading a book inside, and he should fall asleep naturally soon."

Dak nodded slightly and asked, "Does he know his situation?"

Professor Kazel shook his head.

Professor Sylph said coldly: "He doesn't need to know."
