Muxi University, three underground floors, heterogeneous research room.

Todd, who had recovered his human form, stood in front of a huge iron cage covered with black cloth, staring forward in a daze, without speaking for a long time.

Behind him, a group of scholars in laboratory uniforms and a group of heavily armed knights looked at each other, no one dared to step forward to disturb the deity's contemplation.

In the huge laboratory, the silence was like a cemetery, only occasionally one or two low roars came from the iron cage.

Finally, a voice came from the gate, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the president of the Alien Species Association, Ms. Rachel is here."

Todd retracted his gaze from the iron cage, turned his head, and a familiar figure slowly became clear in his eyes.

An emerald green robe, Feng Yun Pinting's figure, swaying.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Facing this woman who couldn't be more familiar, Todd found his voice a little hoarse.

Rachel walked in front of Todd. She smiled and stretched out her hand to wipe the dust off Todd's shoulders, her movements soft and natural.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Hearing what Rachel said, Todd himself laughed.

Rachel turned his head to look at the huge iron cage not far away, and asked, "You found a sample of the black plague?"

Todd waved people to raise the black cloth, and said to Rachel: "Do you remember? I once ordered the Knights of the North Island to sail southwest, looking for traces of the black plague."

"Well, I remember."

"Later, there was no news from this expedition and disappeared into the vast ocean." Todd looked at the black cloth and pulled it up bit by bit, and said in a deep voice, "Not long ago, the Valkyries found the ship. Ship and think of a way to bring it back."

The black cloth was completely pulled up, revealing the contents of the huge iron cage.

A huge humanoid with black parasites all over his body, his limbs were imprisoned by four thick iron chains.

After the parasitic corpse felt the light, it immediately turned from quiet to violent.

His body slowly grew larger, his limbs swelled like inflatables, and his huge feet stepped on the ground, leaving shocking cracks, and the entire laboratory trembled slightly.

Rachel looked at the parasite corpse, frowned and said slowly: "I seem to know him..."

Todd clenched his fists and said word by word: "The deputy commander of the North Island Knights-Little Jerry. It was my personal order that he should go out to investigate."

Rachel glanced at Todd's expression and whispered, "It's not your fault."

Todd shook his head slightly, and then said, "I asked you to come here because I wanted you to analyze some things for me."

"Well, tell me."

"As you can see, little Jerry has become a victim of the black plague. Although his body is almost dead now, his soul is missing."

Rachel asked, "The soul is missing? Can you tell me more in detail?"

"I tried to contact his soul and tried to get Deirdre to recall his soul, but not only did he not return to the soul space, he did not wander somewhere, as if he had disappeared."

Richel frowned and said, "Like Karin?"

"Yes, just like Karin..."

Rachel pondered for a moment, and then said, "There are several possibilities."

"One, a creature infected by the black plague, his soul will completely dissipate."

"Two, his soul will be pulled out of the body, confined in a certain place, unable to be summoned by abilities such as soul-calling or soul space."

Todd responded: "There are certain problems with these two assumptions."

"why?"

"Let me give an example. There was a Crusader soldier named Bourville who was infected by the black plague during the battle in Tyrol City, but after his death, his soul returned to the soul space smoothly."

Rachel rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "If this is the case, then the black plague will not destroy the soul, but it will extract and imprison the souls of some of the victims. The key question is why some people’s souls are imprisoned, And some people’s souls can be free?"

Todd said: "I asked Mary to make a statistic in the soul space. For those who complete the soul connection with me, if they are infected by the black plague, about three-quarters of their souls will return to the soul space."

Rachel asked: "Do these returned souls have something in common? For example, race, age, abilities, physique, etc.?"

Todd sighed: "Unfortunately, there is nothing in common, it's more like a random result."

Rachel looked a little frustrated: "So, isn't there no clue?"

Todd paused for a moment, and said, "It's not that there are no clues."

"Um?"

"Some of the souls infected by the black plague told me what happened to them after returning to the soul space. They could feel that they were first sucked into a dark and cold space by a powerful force. But. , Constant struggle and strong will, let them get rid of that space a little bit, and finally escaped."

Richel carefully chewed Todd's words and asked, "Do they have any other descriptions of that space?"

"They said that the shape inside was like a shell, but they didn't feel any warmth or vitality."

"The body...?"

Todd looked at Jerry, who had completely lost his human characteristics in the cage, and said with a heavy tone: "Rachel, do you remember Boyle?"

Rachel nodded.

Todd said: "At the beginning, Deirdre used the psychic ability to introduce Boyle's soul into my body, and the latter lived in my body for a long time~lightnovelpub.net~Ritchie You understand Todd's thoughts a little: "You mean, if a person has a power that can achieve the effects of psychic and soul space at the same time, he can imprison the soul of others in his body? "

Todd nodded: "Yes, this person is the real culprit behind the black plague."

Rachel said incredulously: "But, Todd, have you ever thought about it. It is such a huge burden to confine thousands of souls in your body. There are probably not many such alien species looking at the entire world. ..."

At this point, Rachel suddenly stopped talking.

Todd said softly: "There are actually such people."

Rachel put his finger on his chin and slowly said, "Yes, there are indeed two people like this in the presbytery."

Todd said coldly: "One is the mother **** Eleanor, and the other is the sage Sutherland."
