Chapter 949 Sixteen. Under the Surface

   "That's true isn't it?"

  Professor Chris observes the utensils on the table stand.

   Compared with the science that requires long-term research, it is more advantageous to strengthen one's own occult alchemy.

  Although the disadvantages are also greater.

   "Narrow point of view. Science does not belong to a discipline, it is systematic knowledge. Occultism can be science, and alchemy is also science." The old man madly retorted.

"So that's why you're here, so that's why we're here." Professor Chris didn't want to argue with him about what science is, and turned to Lu Li and said, "Dear, tell him what you found. "

  Lu Li briefly describes the knowledge about human nature.

   "New discoveries... I like new discoveries." The old scientist fell into his own thoughts. "Let me think about how to verify its existence..."

   "In fact we have proven its existence."

   Sterling froze at the addition of Professor Kris: "So what are you asking me for?"

   "More detailed experiments." Professor Chriss said.

   "Can't your academy make these?" Knowing that the most delicious part of the cake had been eaten, Sterling didn't want to eat the rest.

   "Yes." Professor Chris replied.

The fluorescent caves fell silent for a moment, and the tough and crazy old scientist silently accepted the help of Professor Chris, picked up the notebook and quill, and turned to the blank page: "Exorcist, tell me more about human nature in detail. ."

  Theory needs practical assistance. After the scientist Sterling knew that Lu Li could gain humanity from the monsters he killed, he brought two cages with weak monsters from the depths of the cave.

   "Ball, the best experimental creature."

   Stirling motioned for Lu Li to kill one of them.

  There is nothing unusual about the strange death process. After the weak humanity poured into the body, Sterling asked them to wait for him here before returning to the depths of the cave.

   Sterling's sanity who entered the experiment seemed a little crazy.

   "Scientists are not excluded because they theorize..."

Watching Sterling's back in the depths of the cave, Professor Chris whispered to Lu Li: "When knowledge becomes a curse, formulaic knowledge is extremely dangerous... Compared with the data of 0.01ml, 0.02lb, and 0.03cm, it is about three points. A scale, a half-filled wooden bowl, and a few days of grass juice are less efficient steps, but there is no unnecessary danger.”

   "So more specific knowledge is more dangerous?"

   "Yes...so don't expect too much knowledge."

   Lu Li thought. Perhaps this curse on knowledge is also a scourge.

   There were cluttered footsteps and friction from the depths, and Sterling returned with a heavy iron cage.

  Cages the size of coffins contained more balls, their semi-soft dark carapace wrapped around their bodies and locked in iron cages.

   Sterling picked up the dead two **** and threw them into the cage. The surviving **** sensed the food, spread out their bodies, and the cilia under the carapace slowly wriggled like starfish, and climbed up the dead ball's body.

  Two boules corpses, one of which was full of boulders, and the latecomers tried to climb up. The other one was left unnoticed.

   "It's not fresh anymore."

  The eyeballs under Sterling's drooping eyelids almost glowed: "'Humanity' right? Because this 'humanity' was absorbed by Mr. Lu Li, they are no longer interested!"

   "Are you sure?" Professor Chris watched this scene with interest.

  Sterling, to prove his analysis, picked up another rolling ball, killed it like an executioner, and threw it into the corner of the cage.

   The remaining two **** that were not squeezed with food slowly squirmed away and climbed onto the new food.

   Only the corpse of the rolling ball that Lu Li killed was left out.

   "See, they prefer food that has not been plundered by human nature." Lu Li could feel the excitement of Sterling lying in front of the cage: "Weird predators don't need flesh and blood... they need human nature!"

"We have already guessed about this." Professor Chris sighed: "There are many behaviors of the monsters for no reason. For example, monsters without entities will hunt monsters, and powerful monsters still need to eat... We are always thinking about attracting them. What is it... Now it looks like we've found the source."

   "Congratulations, Sterling. Your name will appear in the latest issue of the Giant Tree College Journal."

   Sterling paid no attention to what Professor Chris said. Immersed in the joy brought by science, he stared at Lu Li fervently: "This is an unfamiliar field... and you! Exorcist! You will become the key to this field!"

The    experiment continued, and Sterling took out two corpses of rolling balls. The other falling **** paused for a while, and then wriggled towards the one killed by Lu Li to eat.

   "What does that mean?" Professor Chris asked.

   "The corpses are still attracting them." Sterling's madness was suppressed by thinking: "It may be food, it may be residual humanity..."

   can even extend a new hypothesis from this: Humans need food to sustain life. But what if what we need is not the food itself, but the humanity that food possesses...

   "Maybe not conflict."

   Before Sterling complicates the problem and drives himself crazy, Professor Chris awakens him: "We can understand human nature as energy. Humans eat to replenish energy, and strange predation replenishes energy."

   "My dear, how much humanity has that Wraith brought you?" Professor Chris asked.

   "Less than half."

   "Where's the ball?"

   "Insignificant."

The    trial will continue, but the scale of [Sterling House] obviously cannot promote follow-up research.

  More detailed data, low and high human nature changes, and completed puzzles.

   "I can get you into the Giant Tree Academy...but in the name of alchemy materials."

  "I don't care!" Sterling was full of enthusiasm, staring at Lu Li like the weird ones who covet him.

   "Research on Human Nature" was temporarily put aside, and Professor Chris talked about the next thing: the art of making psychic guns.

   "The psychic gun? You need this eliminated congener?" Sterling wondered.

   "Lu Li's power to plunder humanity stems from the psychic gun." Professor Chris said.

   "It's impossible!" Sterling denied loudly, but he was stunned when he saw the calm Lu Li: "Is this true?"

"Um."

   "The third flower has opened, isn't that impossible?" Professor Chris asked rhetorically.

   "Perhaps... the price is too high, and there are no more than a dozen psychic guns with three flowers blooming in my impression." Sterling hesitated. As a scholar, with enough evidence, he will believe: "How did you do it? What is the price of three flowers? Where is the gun now?"

   "Something weird, an evil god. It's broken, and for some reason, the power remains in me."

   "So we need your help." Professor Chris paused slightly, covered his mouth and chuckled: "You don't have to enter the academy as an alchemy material anymore."
