Chapter 685 - Regained Intelligence
As Greya enjoyed greater fame, more and more wizards had become concerned about her “Birth” spell as well as how it was different from “Artificial Life”. On the contrary, Angor was slowly fading away from the public view.
Although there were still people who insisted on remembering his name.
Angor had spent another week working on alchemy illusions at Phantom Island. When Number 233 came to talk to him, he had filled the entire lab room with crystal balls, which was about a hundred of them.
“Mister Padt, here’s the initial report for your research.” Number 233 handed a pile of notes to Angor.
From a brief glance, Angor saw that the soul that was hit by the “white bullet” did not undergo any further changes on the outside and remained to be a “half-undead”, but according to Number 233, the half-undead was capable of thinking.
“He can follow up with conversations now. I assume that he kept some intelligence after death,” Number 233 explained, “and he only needed one week to completely regain basic communication skills.”
“So he has his own consciousness now?”
There were many different Mystery items in this world with strange properties, so it was not surprising to find such an effect.
However… Prelude to Rebirth was a weapon used to eliminate the undead creatures. Why would it generate bullets that would provide the opposite result? Was it possible for the Mystery effect of an item to go against its creator’s will?
Perhaps such accidents could happen. Yet Angor’s instinct told him that this was not the case.
He then tried to consider what this “intelligent undead” meant to him, and he got a possible idea.
He was going to begin the “4th phase” of the experiment.
He stepped in front of the half-undead and noticed that after being shot by three white bullets, the half-undead was beginning to look better and was wearing proper outerwear, which was a coffee-colored sweater vest. The man also had a checkered round cap as well as several silver ornaments affixed around his waist area.
This man had to be a mortal since it referred to the Blue Pedestal as the “banyan flower”. From his current getup, Angor assumed that he was a nobleman without much sense of style.
The soul was sitting on a bench while staring at Angor with great enmity, but apart from the angry look, Angor also noticed another emotion, which was “expectation”.
“Do you want something? This… perhaps?” Angor showed his revolver.
For the first time, the half-undead asked a question, “Who are you, and what do you want?”
Angor slowly lifted his gun without answering that question.
“As you may have guessed, I’ll use this on you again. But this time, I’m going to kill you.”
He activated “Prelude to Elimination”. When he pulled the trigger, an invisible sound wave was unleashed from the barrel.
