Chapter 94: Experimenting with Rebellion
With Lynn leading the way, Bock and Jonny managed to suppress their inner fears and quickly placed the second experimental subject on the operating table. They added more iron chains to secure it.
Lynn looked disdainfully at the equipment at hand, not even a decent surgical knife. He had no choice but to use a sharp knife for flame sterilization.
Witch Dove took over Lynn's work and was somewhat surprised when she examined the notes on the plan. The records were incredibly detailed, documenting the changes in the subject's various organs at every time interval after consuming the magical potion. It was accurate down to the second.
But didn't Timis just rush through it without checking the magic hourglass? Could these data be fabricated?
While Jonny hesitated, Lynn had already started dissecting.
Bock, on the other hand, was responsible for controlling the bleeding and assisting, and he couldn't help but worry that Lynn might mess things up. Dissecting a live defective subject was no easy task. These irrational monsters not only imposed psychological pressure but also made the dissection much more challenging due to their constant struggling.
However, Lynn's knife was even steadier than Bock had imagined. The experimental subject, which was still roaring uncontrollably in front of him, seemed not to exist at all.
Did he really have no fear when facing these monsters?
Bock couldn't understand, and what annoyed him more was that since Lynn took over, there hadn't been any unexpected incidents. The dissection process went very smoothly, and the experimental subjects didn't even survive the initial fusion stage after consuming the magical potion.
The previous incident with the first experimental subject seemed like a mere accident. This made Bock somewhat regretful. He should have let Lynn take over from the beginning.
Lynn was unaware of Bock's thoughts, and he didn't have the luxury to care. He was fully immersed in the experiment, and there was no mid-shift change as he directly took over the remaining dissections.
Facing these irrational and transformed experimental subjects, Lynn didn't feel much compassion. It was only right to send them to the afterlife as soon as possible.
When the fourth experimental subject fell on the operating table due to a severe adverse reaction, Lynn finally made a discovery. The magical potion seemed to contain some unknown magical materials, which made it easily absorbed by the human digestive system, quickly entering the bloodstream, reaching the heart, and causing it to work so rapidly.
As a result, the heart was the first organ to be infected and transformed by magic, and it would then pump energy-rich blood throughout the body for further alteration.
What puzzled Lynn was, why didn't they use their own magic for transformation, especially when the adverse reactions were so severe? It didn't make sense.
Lynn quickly realized the answer. This was related to the field of shape-shifting magic, a branch of magical studies. Wizards who specialized in shape-shifting magic had extraordinary close combat abilities, and the best among them could even transform into powerful magical beasts.
It seemed that this magical potion was developed based on the principles of shape-shifting magic. The goal of creating a "perfect specimen" was to give the person who consumed it the power equivalent to a formally trained shape-shifting wizard, but there was a difference: they were using an external force.
Lynn thought to himself as he dissected the fifth experimental subject. This one appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, much less robust than the previous ones, almost frail.
What surprised him the most was that the magical infusion in this subject was very low, only about thirty percent.
"Experimental subject number twenty-two, did it consume the Fire Lizard magical potion before? Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect, so it became a discard..." Lynn picked up the experiment log, looked at it, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly said to Dove.
"Dove, get me a bottle of Fire Lion magical potion!"
"Timis, what are you planning to do?" Bock frowned and asked.
"I've made some discoveries, and I'm preparing to experiment with a different magical potion," Lynn explained casually.
In their previous experiments, they had been using Troll magical potions.
This was because a previous apprentice had found that trolls, as creatures, had strong regenerative abilities. The magic cell activity they created was high, and they specialized in enhancing the physical body. In theory, they had the least conflict with other transformation potions, and they were most likely to fuse with the rest.
But Lynn didn't think so. Because the magical alterations created by Troll magical potions were highly active, they might actually exacerbate magical rejection reactions. The condition of the Null who had only consumed this kind of magical potion was enough to prove this.
Bock was very dissatisfied with Lynn's reckless move. What if something went wrong? It would be a problem for all three of them.
Lynn naturally paid no attention to Bock's opinion. He wasn't here for research but to catch the attention of "Black Physician" Radak. Following the routine would take too long.
Under someone's repeated urging, Dove hesitated for a moment before bringing the Fire Lion magical potion as requested.
Lynn took it and directly chugged the entire bottle, leaving Bock on the sidelines feeling a bit anxious.
Under the violence of this magical potion, the fifth experimental subject showed a reaction in just a few seconds. Its body kept shaking, and its skin turned bright red in a short time.
"It's increasing, the magical energy infiltration of the cells is actually increasing..." Bock saw a scene through his alchemical goggles that astonished him. The power brought by the Fire Lion magical potion was rapidly spreading throughout the subject's body, even devouring the remnants of the Fire Lizard magical potion's power.
As expected, Lynn wasn't surprised by this. In previous experiments, he had already noticed that the powers brought by different transformation potions, aside from mutually repelling each other, also had the potential to consume one another. The key point was that the fifth experimental subject originally had a very low degree of magical infiltration. In other words, the power of the Fire Lion magical potion added later could easily devour the former as nourishment.
Although this went against the main purpose of Laboratory Seven, which was to attempt the fusion of different types of transformation potions to create magic wielders with two different magical talents, there was still a chance of creating a magic wielder who could perfectly fuse with the Fire Lion magical potion.
Bock also noticed this point, and with an expression of shock, the experimental subject's body suddenly ignited with scorching flames. It burned the iron chains that bound its body bright red, and its body expanded to the point where it directly broke the red-hot iron chains apart...
